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)!!!





Millions of years ago, Tyrannosaurus rex ruled the earth. Today, MEGATRON plans to do the same! Duplicating dinosaur DNA stolen from human research labs, the evil leader has re-engineered his body structure and equipped it with fearsome high-tech firepower! Poisonous paralyzer fluids blast from his gaping jaws, while his powerful pincher claw can cut an enemy in half! Be afraid earthlings, very afraid!!
