Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Transformers One 114 Megatron 4.5” Action Figure, 8+

After the underrated (and unfortunately underperforming) movie Transformers One released it is common knowledge the vast majority of viewers were likely to empathize with D-16's story and transformation (heh) into Megatron--a transformation masterfully conveyed in his change in appearance, voice, and demeanor over the course of the film. Naturally these accoutrements to a main character (D-16/Megatron) in an already fantastic movie demands an equally if not greater fantastic studio series figure--that being Studio Series 114 Transformers One Megatron. Studio Series 114 Transformers One Megatron adequately captures the design of Megatron in Transformers One, albeit without as much as the assumed heft and chunk he is seen to have in the film. I am indeed suggesting Megatron should be somewhat bulkier as a slight drawback to the design of the figure ( just compare him side by side with the earlier released Studio Series Transformers One Optimus Prime). However, the counterpoint to his lack of heft is he can be easily put into numerous dynamic poses with relatively less effort compared to Studio Series Transformers One Optimus Prime (who isn't a slouch either in that regard). Articulation wise Megatron's head can rotate 360 degrees and look/bend down roughly 45 degrees or so. The arms can rotate 360 degrees and about 180 degrees side to side. The elbows and wrists of the figure can also rotate 360 degrees as can the lower torso/pelvis. Megatron's legs can do the splits, going as much as 180 degrees forward AND back, whereas his knees can bend backwards as much as 60 degrees or so. His knees are on ankle rockers and so can be moved side to side as well and roughly 70 degrees backward. A good amount of articulation in a single figure. Converting Megatron to his alt-mode (a cybertronian tank) is relatively simple and will probably only take the first attempt (if that) with the figure's instructions. He should be easy enough for a 5 year old or even 90 year old to transform from tank to robot and back in a few seconds. His treads (which transform from his legs) unfortunately have no wheels, so he can't roll on a flat surface...but he can slide. I'd give the figure a 9/10, my biggest complaint being the lack of heft/girth to Megatron's figure compared to his design in the Transformers One Film (I would have preferred he and Optimus both be voyager sized figures and not deluxe sized figures but perhaps that will corrected for in the future). If you have Studio Series Transformers One Optimus Prime you will absolutely want this Megatron figure as a companion.

Great buy! Trustworthy seller, perfect packaging, and the Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Megatron 4.5 looks amazing. Highly recommend!
