I wasn't too excited about these toys and prefer masterpiece now. But this is a great point! Hopefully Black Mamba follows up their Nitro with some OS KO SS toys!

 

Dooood, these pics basically sold me on this guy.

 

Is it possible for the big blade to fold back

to give him this look?

 

Look at that back! Look at it! Next to no kibble.

 

Oh god. I’m sitting in a crowded train and almost burst out laughing. Thanks!  

This figure looks better every time I see it. The whole studio series line is incredible!
But Megs here may be the cream of the crop
He’s huge! He’s poseable, he’s accurate, that back is so clean!
I can’t wait for studio series stuff to start showing up over here
At this point I think I might be all-in on it!
I’m going to be so broke....

 

He has that shin armor. It's just on the sides of those tank tread portions. The inner leg side is unpainted, the outlet leg side is painted. You can't really see them in the pictures because of how the shots were taken. The shin armor is sculpted on the sides of the treads. It is very flat and that is why it is hard to see at these angles.

 

I'll buy Grimlock but I will also buy an os version too for the sake of scale. He should have been ultra class. Those were the days.

 

I dunno what you're seeing, but there's definitely nothing there.

He'll be fun to paint. Bumblebee was a blast as well. (OS KO please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please!)

 

Netkid's right. There's a slight armor flare on the sides of the tread pieces that are supposed to represent those armour bits. They're just a lot smaller than on the movie model, and they're black rather than the silver/grey they're supposed to be, so they blend into the treads in most shots. You can see it a bit more clearly on the second picture on the front page.

So they're there, they're just way smaller than they should be, so they're not fully accurate and the shape of the leg looks off as a result.

 

I like how ROTF Megatron looks, this toy looks amazing and he has his Blaster Claw Arm, Jetpack and his Tank Mode looks good too. Just wish you could fold his front tank trends and back trends to make him look like his ROTF video game self where you can activate his Fusion Cannon in Tank Mode.

 

Judging from the transformation, and the space for it, yeah definitely.

 

Okay, that seals it.

Best version of ROTF Megatron, followed by the Voyager from 2009.

 

That game was great.

 

96megatron asks:

It IS possible!

Note: I had previously looked at your picture wrong and said it was not possible. It IS possible.

 

For those wondering from where the smaller turrets come from, I just noticed that they came from the first cgi render of the tank mode.
Probably an easter egg to add some playbility in tank mode.

 

Yep, these work well together....

 

The calves look a lot better with them collapsed all the way. OS this with maybe an additional part set for the calves, a silver paint job and you pretty much have an MP-ish ROTF Megatron.

 

the gold looks great

pops so hard

 

Wow. Megatron looks so good with Prime that my opinion on that Prime figure has risen dramatically. I still think the compromised window chest looks really dumb, but it's certainly much cleaner in other areas.

Why they didn't just reuse the HFTD Optimus Voyager is a mystery though, since that one is pretty much the perfect version of Prime. Guns, swords, and the only version to come with the Movie Matrix.
