New Gallery: Combiner Wars Leader Class Megatron

SOLD!!!!!!!!

Nice. Likin the Lost Light love you threw in there. Can't wait to get that with an updated Ultra Magnus and Cyclonus.

We need a pic of this guy next to the Masterpiece version.

The insignia thing is weird and annoying, not because I'm against Autobot Megatron, but because they included a sticker for even though they painted that on, and they painted that right below where I'd prefer the insignia and on top of silver paint so I can't just wipe it off.

Where the tampo'd symbol is is where G1 Megatron's chest symbol has always been. They just shaped the torso on this toy awkwardly to warp the proportions of the G1 chest design into making the main part of the chest smaller and the typically insignificant part directly above it much bigger.

It really is a weird design choice considering that even the comics don't have the chest drawn like that.

nice headsculpt.... but thats it, he is too far from g1

Ah, I see it now. It IS pretty bizarre, especially compared to the screencap BERSEKAEL posted.

It's to accommodate his head when transformed in tank mode.

Ooooooohhh...

It's still odd.

I sure hope that's not spoilers for MTMTE.

thats a mighty badass gallery

I hadn't planned on getting G1 Megs, but thanks to these galleries, I might have to! The only thing that really bothers me about his design is those FEET. It's like the designers gave up by the time they reached them and said "Eh.....two big chunks of plastic are foot-like enough. Let's go get a beer!"

Yep, looks great in both modes. Well done, G1 Megs. You finally have a great looking toy and it only took you three decades or so.

He does look awesome, but he's just too big for me. I would've preferred a voyager size. Too bad.

Don't let those feet deter you. They're one of the cooler parts of his transformation, actually. Just think of how much better even those feet are compared to OG Megs.

⇧ My plans for this figure, basically.


Wish the tank barrel didn't stick out of his fusion-cannon like that though.









⇧ Not even in a million years.

I just NEED him!

Come here Megs!! Come to me!

Something I think would have been cool to see in this gallery, but fully understand why it wasn't seen, is a set of comparison pics between this toy and the last G1-esque Leader Megatron toy: The Animated Leader Megatron. Until this toy came along, that one was considered arguably the best G1-looking Leader class Megatron toy, so seeing that one and this one together would have bee a cool "passing of the torch" moment between the two.



I love this shot. Though it's just meant to be between the first Generations Autobot Leader class toy and the first Generations Decepticon Leader class toy, it happens to align with the old European pack-in comic from Milton Bradley that had Jetfire as the Autobot leader instead of Prime:





All hail Megatron's manly chest hairs!

Wow that one looks really good. I always wished the original G1 Megatron was a tank in Alt mode. The gun mode did give it a rich lore with him able to be handled by other deceptions. I just always found him lacking in gun and robot modes for the original G1 toy so I actually traded him away when I was a kid. The next generation of fans will definitely love this.

So elated I found one today, as stores have only been getting a case of one each, and armada and a G1, and for once my timing was perfect enough to get it before it was gone. Posted the pic to the seibertron Facebook page.

Great figure even if his poseability is limited, but he s a good compliment to masterpiece prime until I can set aside a few bucks for Apolyon.

Didn't open up the chest compartment to show his spark chamber for this pic? I am disappointed!

Cool. Megatron is in scale with Masterpiece Optimus

I like everything about this figure except for the red connectors that are used for the arms. There much too lanky.



All these Megatrons carry on a tradition of having a strange looking crotch design. This new Emperor of Destruction is sporting an odd red knob.

This Friday, Seibertron.com is proud to present some refreshed galleries to older installations for Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Menasor and Superion! The Stunticons, making up most of Wave 2 in the Motormaster Voyager and Offroad, Breakdown and Dead End Deluxes, plus Legends Blackjack, join Wave 1 Dragstrip to form the horned gestalt with a sword, and just in time for next week's IDW Opening Salvo.

Similarly, the last addition from Wave 2 to the Aerialbots, Air Raid, can finally become a limb for Silverbolt's torso mode, and together with Alpha Bravo, Skydive and Firefly, plus Legends Powerglide, become Cybertron's (and Starscream's?) main defence. Click on any image below to view the full galleries, updated and reframed, and now including even more comparison shots with previous versions of the characters from G1!

Generations Combiner Wars Megatron

Really likingthe face sculpt! Just can't wait for May 2015!

maybe its combined truck mode with wide out spred open chest menasor head in looks small comapred to superion in combined

The main problems with both Menasor and Ultra Prime in comparison to Superion are the proportions of their torsos. Superion's torso used the brilliant move of turning Silverbolt upside-down to make Silverbolt's arms become Superion's thighs, and Silverbolt's legs form the upper torso. This made for a much better-proportioned torso overall with Superion's thighs being reasonably small but not too small and his upper chest being adequately shaped without being too bulky. And above all, Superion's waist is a good distance below his chest thanks to Superion's torso being (for lack of a better tern) tall enough.

Ultra Prime and Menasor, however, do not have the innovative luxuries that went into the design Superion's torso, as they both instead go the classic G1 toy route of having Optimus and Motormaster remain upright and have their lower legs become the combiner's thighs their arms form part of the combiner's upper chest. This results in a torso that has HUGE thighs formed by big chunky lower legs, a very WIDE upper chest with quite a distance between its shoulders, and the waist (piece) being directly under the chest instead of being further under it, making both Menasor and Ultra Prime have incredibly SQUAT torsos overall with no bellies.

I would've liked to have seen some static poses with the limbs being swapped. Curious to see what Breakdown and Off Road looked like as the arms. As well as seeing Dead End as a leg.

Just wondering... has anyone figured out why Breakdown's purple gun/foot/hand accessory uses a slightly duller purple than the other Stunticon accessories (and indeed his own thumb)? Seems like a strange choice, if it's deliberate.

Superion looks pretty awesome, but my favorite combiner of all time Menasor, looks so dreadful to me. It doesn't have a body.

Menasor's and Ultra Prime's main problem lays in not being able to ecstatically extend the upper body. Superion achieves this by merging the legs with Silverbolt's body, but Menasor has no such luxury.

Menasor looks so much better when both car hods on the shins are flipped foward the same way. Im glad you have that option. But Menasor looks a whole lot better with the hips straight down instead of to the side like the instructions tell you to do. It makes him a little taller than Superion but whatever. I hope somebody makes a better head for Menasor with proper antennas instead of those silly horns. It looks like they came off the hood of Boss Hoggs Cadillac.

We will not make you wait long to enjoy the full wave 2 of Transformers Generations Combiner Wars - check out below the Seibertron.com galleries for Aerialbot Air Raid, awash in a sea of purple Stunticons: Off Road, Dead End and Breakdown! Each gallery shows the single figure in both their robot and vehicle mode, showcasing accessories and poseability, as well as group shots, comparisons with other figures from the line and the G1 predecessors for each - and of course, the Menasor and Superion combined forms for the Stunticon and Aerialbot team respectively, finally with all the limbs in the right place. Click on any image below to access the full galleries, and happy browsing.

I hate Menasor's head, hate it so much for some reason. I'm thinking Optimus with Stunticon limbs will look much better.

are the comics new or seen before?

So true, this is a very disappointing figure/combiner. The proportions are just too off to look good. The upside is that the individual vehicles modes aren't too bad looking.

He really isn't that bad. The gallery is showing him the way hasbro intends... which doesn't do him any justice. Look around the web, watch some reviews, fans are figuring out ways to make him look waaay better. The head sculpt is awesome imho.

Breakdown feels very weak to me... It says a lot that TFSS Breakdown, a redeco of the by now ancient Sideswipe mold, has my favor over the CW Breakdown.

Offroad, on the other hand, looks well proportioned, solid, and I simply love face sculpt. Plus, the hood behind his head adds a good deal of character. The non-G1 team members are 2 for 2 so far.

I know the standard limb arrangements for these guys, but I'm honestly going to swap Dead End and Breakdown. Dead End's front end comes up just like Offroads, and that really works since it hides Motormaster's robot mode feet while forming nice "Knee-pads". A similar situation for Superion: Alpha Brave and Firefly make nice legs with no kibble really sticking out that far while Air Raid and Skydive have wings that stick out farther, and I like those protruding kibble bits better on the shoulders.

Also, so long as Megatron truly shows to have changed, I'm going to put those Autobot symbols on him. I like Autobot Megatron a lot. Roberts has done a great job with him.

Hasbro toy shop's official description of Dead End says he's part of Superion. Wtf?

They copy and paste descriptions without editing them enough all the time.

FYI - Wave 2 is in stock again at HTS

Nice, but I'm not such a purist that I want to buy them...

So are these guys out yet?

Even though I'm happy with Alpha Bravo and Offroad, I'll probably get these guys too.

According to Hasbro, these will be available around May 22nd.

May 22 – AERIALBOT QUICKSLINGER and STUNTICON BRAKE-NECK will be available exclusively through participating online retailers, such as Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Target.com, ToysRUs.com, Entertainment Earth, BigBadToyStore, Diamond Comics and Hasbro Toy Shop.

Are those the Japan exclusive CW stickers on some of these figures (mostly noticable on combined Menasor)?
