Here's a story for the Decepticon fans - a new walk-around character has debuted at Universal Studios Hollywood, and he's rather menacing! Yes, Megatron from Transformers Dark of the Moon can now be spotted stomping around Universal Studios Hollywood to promote Transformers the Ride. He joins Optimus Prime and Bumblebee as walk around characters that park guests can have their photos taken with.

Check out the original report at Inside the Magic.

That's so cool.

Cal

Huh, I was at Universal Stufios last week and I only saw Ops and Bumblebee.

Ra88

That is a really good costume.

Digilaut

Fricking amazing is what it is!

Zhadow

Pretty hideous.

Omegatron

I hope they bring them to Orlando when TF: The Ride opens there.

prime326

That is amazing

General Tekno

Wow.

I was prepared to crack a joke re: the idea of a movie character having a walkaround costume and how bad it would look.

But that's an amazing outfit.

Needs more tattered cape though, if anything.

Omega Charge

When I go after it comes to Orlando I'm going to try to get a photo with all three.

Bad. Ass.

Wait.. he's fixed on the ride... but the costume is of TF3 beat up Meg's.

Okay....

Why do they keep using TF3 Megs, is it cheeper or easier to use, when I think Megatron I don't want a batterd, rusty, damaged robot, why can't they use ROTF Megs, that one was cool, besides that though, this is still cool that they added Megatron as a walk around character

naldopr

All hail Megatron! man why they don't give us a leader of this mold or better megatron kit!!!

Bahamut Prime

That's just kickass awesome! And excellent that Peter Cullen appeared at the end of the first video!

Kaijumaster

needs his cloak!

Wait a second...isn't he dead? I know in the movie-verse megatron never stays dead, but come on! At least wait until the 4th movie!

The ride itself features ROTF tank tread Megs but the walk-around costume is of DOTM Mad Max truck Megs. Odd. Still, very cool costume and I always loved his DOTM design from the get-go. Really wish there was a Leader class or even DMK model kit figure of the character from DOTM.

So anyone wanna give me the over/under how many times someone walks up to him and calls him Sentinel Prime's Bitch

Russian fan

Wow, it's scary to stay close to him

I wonder, how does he interact with Autobots?
In general - awesome!!!

Autovolt 127

Needs more Sith robe. Otherwise looks nice.

Scorpio

Pretty cool costume, especially when you consider it has to be safety checked and everything

Lion

Geez. Not even to scale :-)

BIGGUY007

Pretty awesome!!

I wonder how tall it is though!!

No worries. Megatron's kryptonite is apparently comely smack-talking human females. Stick close to one and you should be alright. =)

PcPrime23

I hope we get these in Orlando when the ride opens

SPLIT LIP

That's a great costume.

I was thinking more along the line of....."Owwwww, faces everywhere"

Honestly, it just doesn't seem like a Megs thing to do...walk around with insects....that's so beneath him.

TylerMirage

Awesome.

Needs more hobo tarp-cape-hood-thing.

Okay....

Well, technically the ride Megatron's appearance is a mix of RotF/DotM; Basically DotM Megatron body with RotF Megatron's fusion cannon.

If I want to take a pic with an insect I'll go to the pet store

Grimwing

Pretty nice. Its definitely the dark of the moon model with the wheels and the chains.

I guess a cloak would have obscured the model's reconizeable quality as movie megatron and may have hindered the actors visibility.

Its pretty nice. Maybe we'll get a bot con down there again so more fans can manage the trip.
