Bah! He's a f'ugly lookin' toy. But I don't blame HasTak, per se - I blame all the whining fanboys who have been begging for Megatron to be a gun again! Well, under existing US toy laws, this is what we get. So to all of you who've been pining for Megatron to be a gun again, I hope you're all bloody happy.

Agreed, if he wasn't a gun, than everybody would be complaining, now that's he's back to a gun, everybody is complaining that's he ugly because of the toy laws. You still have to give HasTak crdit for at least trying to please the fans. You know they can't make a perfect megatron, so just be happy with what you get. 

it was a cartoon in the eighties. the bad guys were always morons who always lost. thats just the way it was. remember him for his good moments. like when he tried to bring cybertron into earths orbit to destroy earth. or his epic battle with prime in the movie. or when the autobots got pwned at every turn in mtmte. my point is, there werent many moments due to its time, but when he had good moments, they were great.

Sorry man, you can't erase 20 years of fanboy opinion :tflaugh

 

I always thought the character had potential, but it was never used. I'm not saying that they had to turn the cartoon into Rambo or something (the movie, not the cartoon :lol), but they could at least have made him not so obviously buffoonish. BTW I thought he was too over the top in TF:TM, shooting Ironhide in the face and all that. X-TREME'D

 

Not that I want to derail your thread or anything.

btw, i am bloody happy.

I'm in.  Can't wait for him to BE MINE!! ALL MINE!!! LIKE A VALENTINE!!! :redface

 

no seriously..he will grace my shelf.

And then when I saw Spydar's digibash I realized that if he'd been painted black & red instead of purple & yellow/green I would have had the same exact reaction to him as I did the others.

um... where?  I wanna see! :)

I really like him!  I really like his transformation in that the two leg halves dont merge to form the handle.  The only problem I have with the paint is the clear "wings".  The cannon on the underarm, he has a cannon, that is friggin awesome, who cares where it is on his arm!!

I give Hasbro major props on this line!  It is all around awesome and just what the fans have been asking for.  Too bad, that the fandom is complaining now that it got what it wanted.

Kudos Hasbro!!

Well...I went from love, to hate, back to love again. I'll be buying two so I can repaint one. I cannot deny how cool this is despite the green and yellow.

 

^this is a digibash i did

If anything, I much prefer Megatron over Optimus Prime. At least with Megatron, they've put an effort into making him different. Optimus Primes is dull and boring as ever.
