Time to check your sightings thread TFW, the Generations Leader class Megatron and Armada Megatron have been found at US retail! Thanks to posts by TFW2005 members starscream-99 and Cyber Bishop, we have our first sightings of the Decepticon leaders at a Toys ‘R’ Us in Lancaster, California and Metairie, Louisiana.
Happy Hunting TFW!

They were finding him last weekend in Smyth's.

Leader megatron has finally just hit UK retail … Just ordered myself a couple from TRU
(the g1 version of course as I couldn't give a damn about Armada lol)
so hopefully he'll be worth the wait as I'm pretty hyped for this guy…
Looks like people here are also completely shunning the armada version in favour of the g1 homage lol
It'll be hilarious if a couple years down the line the armada version ends up being highly sought after…. This is the sort of thing I can imagine happening as it's usually the figures you would least expect that suddenly vanish after months of shelf warming and then reappear commanding silly prices lol

Found one at a local TRU. They also had Armada Megatron.
This figure is so much nicer in hand than in photography.

Both Megatron's circled around to my local walmart in LowerLake CA. G1 went home with me but if anyone's in the area they still had Armada.

I was able to find the pair at Walmart in town.

Wish I could find anything in my area. And sorry but the people that work in my local stores are idiots. Good for nothing but selling dreams.

He's a little bit smaller, unfortunately.
TBH, for being 'Leader' class, he's probably more 'Ultra' class, size-wise. If he were just a little bigger, he would scale really well with lots of leader class Primes.
A shame, because he does look great in hand (some of the pics we've seen really do not do this guy justice). He's definitely one of the best Megatrons hasbro's brought out in ages.

What a shame; would've been a great idea.

Yeah I found out how to do it via a review somewhere else. He just barely squeezes on to the back and the other parts drags down the hand hiders for tank mode, so its not a practical way to display him unfortunately.

That's not an upgrade kit, that's Armada Tidal wave crammed onto the new Leader.

This is what I'm talking about

I can't find the upgrade thread on the 3rd Party board

Seems Wal-Mart is the place to go. My local TrUs seemed to run out as soon as the figures showed up with no restocking the G1 version (seen a few Armada version here and there). I found a G1 version at the Wal-Mart in Oceanside off Jefferson early this morning…but it was the only G1 version there (they had an Armada version left). Probably stocked at the other Wal-Marts now if its made it to mine…because mine has next to no stock most of the time.
Decent figure…glad I found it.

There's one of each Megatron at my local Walmart. Looks like they're becoming more readily available now.

I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to there – I wasn't aware of any upgrade kits, but if there are, third party forum would be the spot to find out more and discuss it.
Dragonclaw
Yeah….I read it as Trans GenDer at first

Does anybody know if Armada Megatron is going to have a 3rd Party Upgrade Kit.
https://www.facebook.com/TFPrototype I can't find any information on this thing except for the picture

Saw them today at Walmart in Altus, OK
Not sure if anyone had seen CW at Walmart stores until this point.

Armada Megatron found at Sanford, FL TRU. I had a $15 reward card, plus you get 10% off on Thursdays if you're a cardholder, so I walked out with him for $28. Can't beat that.
