Transformers - More Than Meets The Eye, Robots In Disguise - Transformers @ The Moon - www.transformertoys.co.uk i would really like to know more about this Megatron...it says G3 but IDK a little insight please?
Chunks of that (head, upper arms, possibly lower arms) are clearly from G2 Combat Hero Megatron. Looks more like a kitbash to me.
Its a prototype/ mock up from a line of transforming housewares. That Megatron turns into a video camera. Needless to say it never took off. give me a bit and will find more pics. edit: http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Prototypes/Generation2/MegatronVideoCameraMock1.html edit again: Damn, I am such a nerd.
I remember seeing that online years ago. In the time between Generation 2 and Beast Wars Hasbro had a internal proposal that would have made Autobots and Depecticons ordinary house hold items/ hi tech toys (basically an entire line of Real Gear figures larger than scouts). This Megatron is a kit bash, never intended for release. I for one am happy they went with Beast Wars
Hmm...i wouldn't say Kitbash looks like it was official..(i wish someone would tell me how big the monstrocity is!) and i would like to know who is the owner?
Actually it is the regular G2 green tank, not the Combat hero. There are three of these that I know of. Two in robot mode and one in camera mode. This was a mock up that they used existing parts to create.
It's a "kitbash" but it is from Hasbro. They use parts from existing items to mock it up. So don't just dismiss it as a kitbash someone made.
