Megatron
Alliance: Predacon
Identification: T-Rex
Comments: I have always been stubborn as to the different forms that were tagged with the name Megatron. Now....obviously this isn't the same Megatron as in Generation 1. However, I must say that this form is nicely chosen and fits the name (as well as the label as leader of the Predacons) very well. He's a huge T-Rex Dinosaur with slick beast and robot forms!!!
Megatron is basically a gray color in beast form. He has green down his back and scales as well as yellow on his chest. There also is a lot of detail used on the wrinkles and imperfections in the skin. In robot form his chest is a slick black and the gray surrounds him on hands and legs. Like most of the Beast Wars figures, Megatron looks a lot like his television show counterpart. Very impressive!!!!
Okay.....where do I start. Well...first of all Megatron has a squirt mechanism in his neck. Remove the neck itself (yuukkkk), fill it with water, and then replace it. When you pull back on Megatron's T-Rex head water squirts out of his mouth. Now you can drown the Maximals!!! The transformation to robot form is complex and fun to execute. After a few well placed twists and turns you get Megatron. On his waist he has two side launchers. When you place a missile into it, you can launch it away!! Also note that Megatron's left arm is the T-Rex head and the right is a claw. In robot form Megatron can squirt water out of his right hand. His left hand acts as a pinching claw (works pretty well). While there are not as many fun gimmicks as his enemy leader Optimus Primal, Megatron is a great buy!
Megatron is a part of the Ultra Beast assortment. He comes in an oversized box. It has a huge "see-through" window and looks nice!!! Inside is a package with Megatron's instructions and two missiles.
I like Megatron. The detail on the figure and excellent degrees of transformation make him a worthy Ultra Beast Wars figure. And.....he definitely earns the right to wear the name Megatron (as well as the label Predacon leader)!!!
