First Look at Animated The Battle Begins Deluxe Megatron Review

Bot mode looks great, love the colors. Legs are loose as HELL out of the box. You can do what I did and pop off the legs at the ball, wrap a lil masking tape around half the ball, pop them back on. Problem solved. Alt mode sucks but at least it holds together tight enough.

Alt mode is surprisingly better than I thought it'd be. I picked up the 2-pack over the Voyager Megs after convincing myself that I was going to get Leader Megs eventually anyway, and I'm pleasantly surprised. The legs aren't loose on mine either; he's been standing here for a good few hours with no saggage on one side.

Once I get all the battle-damage off, he'll look definitely better, but yeah, I'm still awestruck at how much I like this figure.

Definately a winner. I love the guy. Dunno if it's kosher, but here's a link to my review of him, no pics alas.

The two pack's definitely worth it for Megs alone, so much so I almost wish I simply got the Voyager.

Deluxe Megatron does look pretty great.... now I wish to see a comparison of his to the Voyager.
anyway the cannon looks abit too heavy and doesn't function much .. that sword flip out doesn't look functionally perhaps I meant it does not look like it 'd be able to act like a weapon...

But overall, the figure itself looks pretty badass... I like it and keeping it...

Basically a G1 influenced Megatron in Animated style combined with Cybertronian Megatron's design.

Awesome figure, except the loose hips, and the damn left knee joint that was broken on mine right out of the box. Hoping to get it exchanged soon.

Wow, all these complaints about loose hips, but mine aren't bad at all, in fact they're a little tight.

I really like the mold, and in fact, was holding the 2pack to being one of about 3 animated purchases, and I'm certainly satisfied with it.

Three changes I would've liked would be:
1. No waist springing
2. No Battle Damage
3. The Cannon could attach to the left arm as well. (Yeah, yeah, I'm probably the only person ever who would like that.)

As to the second, with the exception of the damage on the foot, it looks like the rest can be removed without a problem, so I may give that a go. BTW, I ratched the midtorso joint back and i think robot mode looks 100% better like that.

I have him and he kicks ass. The left balljoint was loose, but not aymore!

Can anyone post a pic with him and Activators Starscream, deluxe Lockdown, and Voyager Starscream? Or any combo of the above?

This little guy's awesome, my fav so far of the Animated line

fytin'



action pose

Yeah this guy's pretty sweet, he's more fun to pose than Prime. The feet look pretty cool. The only thing I don't like is how the alt mode doesn't roll even though it doesn't matter, and I'm not a huge fan of the head and face as well. Otherwise this guy's fun, I actually like him just as much as I like the Prime.

Got the twopack...if it weren't for the pink battle damage and how horribly horribly loose he was..I'd like Megs. As it is, I'd lump him with Payload as one of the only TFs I own that I am disappointed with.
