    It looks like he’s being hit with a hail of blasts and mockingly swatting them away!

    Love it!

    Folks, is there a right way to remove the turret when I need to put it back on the box? I might be missing a step and it's scary to just pull the turret out I don't want to break anything.

    Make sure its pointing straight forward and just pull. Bending it leaves the recoil mechanism at an angle and could risk stressing some of that internal stuff

    I absolutely had to track down the dark star saber after having this guy.
    Just need to print a better handle for it and I’ll be happy!

    I just received this absolute beast of an amazing toy. And it IS a TOY... I can't stop playing with it! I had small reservations about how its details and, to some extent, aesthetic didn't really feel like the source materal... yeah, in hand IDGAF. This thing is badass. I need Naval Commander now and I didn't even want it before.

    I can’t decided which one I prefer, I’d definitely say Megatron has more presence but that’s just because he’s so damn massive. Prime has the bulk too but it’s more apparent in the super mode.

    Apologies for the bump but after being absolutely blown away by my most recent Fans Hobby purchases (Double Evil, Kap and Ace Hitter) I'm seriously tempted to pick this guy up. I too have zero attachement to Armada, never watched an episode, maybe saw some random clips. But this guy looks so awesome in the pictures.

    How are you feeling about him after a while? Still happy with your purchase?

    Enormously happy, in my case. No attachment to Armada here either. This toy is just fantastic play value and displays like a beast.

    Here's a dumb pic of him as a celebration of his awesomeness.

    Seriously Maz, you deserve a commission for everything you photograph because your pics sell them better than any video review!

    BUY THIS FUCKING THING. It’s legit one of the best transforming toys I’ve ever owned. I literally put it in my main G1 display with zero fucks given. I LOVE this figure.

    Very happy with him, He is very fun to tranform and mess with in tank mode due to all of the gimmicks. I have a littlebit of attachment with Armada, as I grew up with Cybertron but Meg Tyranno is a very fun figure and is better than Naval Commander by a littlebit as he doesnt suffer from any QC that I know of.

    I think tbr only complaint I can think of for MT is that his hip ratchets don't quite have the range I woulda liked. They're stuck in a slightly too wide A stance for my tastes but that's really just nitpicking

    Somewhat anxiety inducing, but this is a favorite of my six-year-old (with supervision). He gets out a bunch of minicons, headmasters, etc and turns it into a little army base.

    When the official Armada Megs comes out next year switch it on him without telling. If he says it looks different just tell him it is because he grown so much.
