Images and Review of Transformers Animated Megatron Figure

Link don't work.
Will be good to see this though, can't wait.

The link didn't work witch is sad, this is one of the Animated figures that I'm intrested in.

I wonder though if he's gonna have a severed head toy too?

They could have it open and be filled with all those drone bots he's using

Plus, he'd be a severed head!

I went to Allspark.com and it says the site's undergoing construction. We'll just have to wait.

Strange, the link works for me

i got the site to work. not bad looking despite no pics of alt mode

No doubt I'll be getting this...

Love the style of the sculpt, the head/face, the colors, and if it's as articulated as what was described with that prototype, should be an amazing figure.

Site's up now...and that's a nice figure! Is there any vehicle mode pic?

I wonder how the Earth mode toy is going to look.

When are these figures suppose to be release?

I think it's going to be one of those V-22 Ospreys.
Similar to Incinerator.

wow thats the biggest cannon ive seen on megatron surprised he can stand without tipping over to the side he does look good though better than primes cybertron form he looks good like the red on him more it really sticks out on him

One of the few animated figures i shall be getting. only thing i dont like is the grin. Looks like he's constipated.

So far this is the only animated toy I will buy.

Wow, thats a big cannon. Think he's compinsateing for something?

Anyone else notice those arms arent ratcheted. That canon is gonna make for some very loose joints.

Not to bad though.

This looks like one of the few animated figures I will buy, the figure looks okay and doesn’t have the same look as the rest of the animated figures.

I’ve noticed they haven’t been putting as many ratcheted joints in the figures lately, I miss the days of ratcheted joints.

I like it, but it doesn't match the toon very well, especially the alt mode.

It *is* supposed to be his cybertronian mode and not his earth mode right?

for that matter, don't all cannon-armed Megs do?

I heard that Hasbro's not releasing them until August due to the success of the Movie line    I'll probably pick megs up but what I'm really looking foward to getting is Jazz, Blitzwing & Ratchet

And to think that so many people a long while back were complaining about the thought of Megs not having a cannon in TF:A.

Look at him, his whole arm practically is his cannon.

August??? That can't be.

i like this toy a lot, the alt mode is a little non descript but i really like the robo mode, clear parts providing some nice homage to G1 megatrons origins: microman!!

I'll be happy when the movie toys are pushed to the side to make way for a line that is more inspired, colourful and plain fun!! what i like about the animated line is that they look like honest to goodness TOYS!! awesome.

Hasbro, were getting sick of seeing 7 repaints of the same mold in less than a year. So when can we see the Shelformers Movie line off shelves so I can pick this up?

he looks kind of cool.

I like him. He looks great opposite Classics Optimus. Since both Megatrons, the Cybertronian one and the Earth one, are both voyager-sized, it'll be interesting to see which one I like better, and which one the fandom likes better.

Actualy, I've been redoing my shelves and have noticed alot of newer figures with heavy arm loads do have a type of re-enforced joint.

But whatever, you can't expect a bot to last long without the right structure to carry its weight.

Is this official?
That's a little surprising AND disappointing...
Imo.

I must say that he is really turning my crank now. I can just hear Bumblebee saying in the Series:

"Granny Megatron...What a Big Gun You Have!"

Don't like the new show so I don't care about the toys either.

I judge shows and toys separately, but so far the Animated figures aren't looking too bad. I'm actually very fond of this Megatron. He looks...well, let's face it, like Megatron, and that's something we haven't seen in a long time. Certain characters should remain recognizable from incarnation to incarnation (Prime, Starscream, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Grimlock, and Megatron, to name a few). If his Earth-form toy looks this good as well, it's going to be a tough call on which one to buy. Might just have to buy both and stand them back to back on a shelf, warding off do-gooders everywhere!

Animated Cybertron Mode Megatron is pure win. I will buy him. I caved.

i just saw the premier of the new animated series this morning. i didn't think the show was all that. the robin hood thing in the beginning was pretty corny and primes voice sounds a little too human. thats my opinion tho... i wasn't planning on buying any of the animated toys but after seeing pics of animated megatron, i just might change my mind

- GO SEAHAWKS!!! -

That wasn't exactly the premier just in case you didn't know. It was episode 4, the first three were together in a 90 minute special.

thanks for the clarification... that goes to show just how interested i was in the animated series.

anyone know if they will replay the first 3 episodes?

That's pretty random.....and lame.

Oh well, fgures for the date to be pushed forward.

Wow, I think this is the only line where I want to get every single toy, and all I own is Decepticons.

I dislike Megatron's facial expression, looks like he is saying "DUUH!"

i like megatron but theres only one problem does batman know he raids his wardrobe

Damn.

This was one of the animated toys I was looking forward to.

I'll wait to see it in person now though, it looks like it is going to fall short of my expectations.

YAY!!!!

Who's Power Ranger did you said is the owner of that ?

I can see the light now!!!... it is my little ponny, show and tell academy award toy of the century...

Now let's get serious here, what kind of joke is this? Robocop do you have anything to do with this?

Or rather go to eBay and search for Go-Bots cr@p lords... they look better

-personal opinion- I will respect who ever likes it... if there are some one

Cool I'm respected.

The robot mode is not too bad, can't say i like his vehicle mode, i concur with the Cybertronian cockroach remark, its just a really weird alt mode. His robot head does remind me a lot of Beastwars Megatron, I think he could have a made a good Cybertronian mode for BW Megs, instead of CD Red alert.

But people, this is just his Cybertronian from, which you only see in the first episode if I'm not mistaken.

As for Release dates, i don't think they can extend the movie line as far as August.

I suspect we should be seeing these no later than April or May, maybe June.

We haven't scene prototypes of many of the other figures, or colored versions of the protos we have seen. but that can just mean Hasbro is tightening security on its molds so they don't leak out ahead of time.

and of the back of the box, there is a little portion that says:

"kids don't try this at home, alcohol and drugs could cause deadly damage to the rest of your toys like this one"

Wow, this one looks really nice, but I guess it's a 50/50, I have to see it in person, since I can't stand the Jay Leno chins on any of these.

I don't know why everyone is dissin' on the Animated toys. There's already been reviews of SS,BB,Bulkhead,Prowl,and Lockdown saying they're all awsome. I guess people would prefer toys with the quality of Armada or Beast Machines
