I picked up the Animated leader Shadow Blade Megatron today at Wal*Mart for $20 with the intention of repurposing him as another character. I want to fill out my animated Decepticon ranks a little. Question is, who should I repurpose him as? I was thinking either Straxus, Spinister, or Megaplex. Suggestions?

 

Black Shadow

Straxus for sure! That's what I plan to do if I find one of these guys at wally world.

 

spinister would be cool but straxus makes more sense to me personally.

 

Great question. I would probably go with Straxus myself. What other figures have you repurposed and who did you assign them as?

 

Roadbuster UM: Roadbuster

Atomic Lugnut: Talon

Electrostatic Soundwave: Soundblaster

Freeway Jazz: Ricochet

Patrol Bumblebee: Sedan

Fireblast Grimlock: Tyrannitron

Bandit Lockdown: Cannonball

EG Bumblebee: Goldbug

Armor OP: Star Convoy

** Vortex Blurr: Deep Cover**

 

I use him as Animated Obsidian.

 

This.

 

minicon Bulge.

 

Megaplex

 

Wow I'm saving up for one of these to get on Amazon.........The walmarts in my Area are too deadly for me.

 

movie black incinerator? lol

 

Deadly to you or to your wallet?  

 

If he were Nemesis Tron, then wouldn't he be colored red or yellow?

I like the idea of him being Spinister myself

 

A yellow Megatron would be amazing!

 

nooooooooooooo

 

Straxus.

 

I like Obsidian

 

Do you know who Straxus is? Straxus (G1) - Transformers Wiki It would be fitting, given that he at one point wandered around in Megatrons body, existed as a head in a lab, and has an alt mode of essentially a flying cannon.

Personally I just leave him as Shadow Blade.

 

Skywarp.

Actually, if you're willing to paint him more purple and retool him, he wouldn't be a bad Galvatron.
