    They stay springy man, thats the main dissapointment. I was very surprised to find out that there is no locking mechanism at all for his feet.

    I snagged one today, I like it. Definately cool enough to buy. But Leader Megs still kicks his ass.

    yeah leader is still my favorite between the two, I don't have anything against the voyager, but as others said he was the only one at my walmart, and I had a gift card to spend there anyways lol

    Just a question for all of you guys, are the upper bicep swivels on yours "tight but loose," like you can push them in but they pop out and wiggle a little, even if they are in solid?

    There's no traditional trigger, you push in half of the jet nose section to fire the missile.

    I just got him two days ago. 10 mins out of the package I repainted him silver and painted his eyes red. I love him. The articulation works great, except that the knees are very tight. My only problems are the height and the feet. However the feet can stay a little bit if you put the foot forward so it catches on the ice.

    I give him an 8 out of 10. The only movie toy I need is 2008 BB and then I'm done with the movie. That is until a movie Shockwave comes out.

    I've had him for a while now, and overall it's worth the $15. I paid for it(price mistake at Wal-mart). To me the alien jet mode is just plain bad, and frankly not really much of a transfomation at all, but I'm was not really happy with the source, being the movie design for his alternate mode anyway.

    I do like the Robot however, I am a fan of the fusion cannon being mounted on his arm. I don't like the colors to well, but I am in the process of repainting him, and what I have finished looks much better to me. Arms come off to easily, but they pop right back on. Articulation is good, and the ice is nice, although a non-ice version somewhere down the line would be cool.

    He's a very good match with Protoform Optimus, since Voyager Megs is a protoform himself, they look as if they belong together, and can make for some very nice poses together.

    He is the worst of the voyagers I have purhased, but I still like him.

    I wanna love him but... his automorph feature for his feet are annoying.... Other than that, he's a good Megatron.

    Got him today. I passed Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker for him, although I could have got them all lol. Pictures of this guy do not do him justice, the blue highlights on him realy make him look frozen, and the silver paint on the ice looks very cool. Megatron is my favourite TF figure ever even beating Leader Brawl. Vehicle mode 7/10, bot mode 20/10

    I got frozen Megs too and its really disappointing. Why they can't get it right? The feet are annoying specially the frozen parts -- I thought I could remove those but No......... try to avoid this and get leader class instead.

    I got this guy on my drive from NJ to TX...

    He's cool. He's very detailed and has all the important joints.

    Unfortunately, he fails horribly in what is, to me, the most important part of a transformer. The transformation. Position his arms like superman, click the "fusion cannon" thing into position, flip up his wings, adjust his chest so he looks MORE like Superman, just with wings and... oh wait. No, that's it. Oh, you can extend the things on his wings, if you want.

    I would have expected a little bit more to have gone into making the leader of the decepticons, I dunno, transform. I wish I had saved the money. :(

    Got it at the end of August with a gift certificate and forgot to post in the thread.

    Much coller than I thought it would be, looks much better with the ice 'wings' pointing forward in jet mode, and up in bot mode. I don't mind the ice effects that much, and at least its relevant to the movie. Biggest disappointment was the springs that won't allow the feet to be open unless standing on the ground. Looks nice next to Robovision Prime.

    I just discovered an alternate transformation for his legs in jet mode! There is now no huge gap between the top of the jet and his legs!

    I will post some pictures when I can get my darn camera to work lol.

    Pretty sweet figure. Though the feet are annoying.

    I wrote up a review on it in the NTFA review forum, you can read it here
