Transformers Masterpiece Megatron is a reproduction of the leader of the decepticons, Megatron. Following on from other masterpiece versions of Optimus Prime, Skywarp and Starscream, Megatron is the most ambitious project Takara have made in the Masterpiece range. Due to the logistics of making a full-sized gun transform into a robot with arms and legs, the model itself lacks the solid feel of previous models like Optimus. The model feels less sturdy and transforming is also much harder, while pressure is needed to make some of the parts 'pop' into place, it feels at times as if you are going to break the model. As mentioned though, this is due to the difficulty in designing a gun-to-robot model and frankly, the design itself is incredible. There's no doubting this is a brilliant looking toy that sits perfectly in size (around 12 inches) next to Masterpiece Prime. Negative points aside, the model looks stunning in both robot and gun mode, though sometimes he seems wobbly on his feet! His gun is also a little oversized but none-the-less makes for an impressive reimagining of Megatron.
In summary, Megatron is certainly flimsier than other Masterpiece versions but, if treated as a collectors item rather than a toy, will provide a wonderful sense of nostalgia.
