    Might be good for a customization to make more accurate, but not much else..

    Um, he looks cool but I still like the Voyager best. There, I said it in a nice way. :thumb

    Gigatron has 9 different modes that didn't look like anything. At least this one only has 1.

    Ok now that's not quite fair, he had three good modes total.

    -Two-Headed Dragon
    -Gargoyle
    -Robot

    Now you have to give those some credit. I liked Gigatron... :redface2:

    That is one ugly hunk of plastic. I don't even think I'd consider this on clearance. Some of the movie figures look alright, but this is just... blech.

    "That little bit that sticks up to cover his face in jet mode is the single best thing I have ever seen on any Transformer ever.

    Nope. No head here. I don't see a head...Do you see a head?"

    maybe it's not to hide it as much as keep bugs out of his teeth. I'm sure even cybertron has tiny flying things.

    also, what's with that joint on his right(robot mode) arm's flip around thingy? it winds up on the left in alt mode. . . but as there's not one on the cannon arm, clearly it's not a transformation joint, so... what's it for?

    I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the arm thing that the chain comes out of? It opens so you can put the chain back in.

    The fundamental problem with Movie Megs is that he doesn't look like... anything. Not even a alien "jet" as far as I'm concerned. Maybe an alien metallic insectoid moth or something, but not a jet. And that's what makes his toy versions so hard to swallow - that he just doesn't fit in with anyone else from the movie.

    It's too bad that BOTH the Leader sized figures of Prime & Megs are so disappointing. You'd think that working with a larger size would help with a better movie to toy translation, but they almost look blockier than even the smaller versions of their figures do.

    It's too bad - I was kind of hoping to at least get these two Leader sizes since nothing else that I've seen so far movie related grabs my interest. But I dunno, it looks like these will end up being a pass as well.

    Nice sculpting I guess but it looks so bland. Doesn't help that I don't like the design to begin with.

    Voyagers to me are usually better nice detail plus not to small or not to big like leader or higher classes.
