Takara will modify the paint schemes on all the Japanese Classics figures. They are introducing completely different paint on Megatron and Astrotrain, and the other figures all will have chrome added along with slightly different designs to their paint scheme.
The fabled warlord Megatron has now finally been reinstated, abandoning the Walther for the new boisterous anti-proton pulse gun mode. In robot mode, Megatron retains a semblance of his Gen 1 look. The massive gun scope converts into his underslung arm-mounted cannon. In the early days Megatron surreptitiously stockpiled power and leverage while he combed through the underground gladiator games and recruited his first warriors; during this time Megatron upgraded himself to outré capacity. Megatron's Classics profile portrays him in dark reverence, describing him as a conquest-driven engine of destruction and creating the impression that his anti-proton pulse cannon mode is a more autonomous assault weapon than the Walther version.

One of the best Megatrons ever made

There are many aspects about Takara that makes them exceptional over Hasbro. One of them is the care and attention to detail. Almost never do you see Hasbro adding shiny chrome pieces to their figures on the first release. With Takara that sort of thing's standard issue. A HUGE plus is that with Takara figures there are NO frustrating twist ties keeping the figure firmly imprisoned in his plastic cage. Now onto Megatron himself;
While some might view the transformation of this guy as a bit hard it really is very intuitive, even on the second try. If needed a quick glance at the instructions (though in Japanese) will set you on your way. The color scheme is very much in keeping with G1 Megatron, not like the ever curious white/purple/neon green of Hasbro. The articulation is top notch, this Megatron has a world and half of possible poses in him. His fusion cannon is almost perfectly sized for his arm. Any who own or have even seen the Masterpiece Megatron know how an obscenely large gun can shave off good points. There have been gripes about the wings on this particular figure, but I honestly don't care. They're part of the transformation, they don't get in the way all that much, and in some poses they actually look pretty cool.
And yes the design for his gun mode was loosely based off of some Nerf gun. Fine whatever, he's supposed to be a space-like gun anyway. His head by the way is nicely G1-esk, with some very good red light piping. I have a small issue with his fist on his cannon arm. When pointing his cannon his fist is sideways in a weird way. It bothers me a little up close but unless you're really REALLY looking it over you can't tell. He doesn't fall apart easily all of his joints snap in and out of place solidly.
Final Conclusion: You really can't go wrong with this figure. My advice is to pass on the Hasbro classics Megatron and go for Takara's. Don't worry about the price. When I bought mine is was about forty-three dollars and that's completely worth it.

This is the best Megatron ever, period.

Some may scoff at the fact he has wings or doesn't become a Walter P-38 pistol, but accuracy was a small sacrifice to produce one of the most fluid versions of Megatron I've ever seen. His posability is superb and the TakaraTomy version's colors blow my mind. He's large and imposing, a charm in any Transformer's collection.

The ever popular decepticon leader Megatron is back. Remember back in the g1 series, megatron transforms into a pistol? This time it's a blaster. That's right, they finally brought back megatrons true transformed glory in the classic series. And he can fit in your hand in blaster gun mode. Trigger works great, and offers great role play values. Can even be displayed in blaster mode by itself. The secret is in the foot. There's two versions of him, the american version (galvatron colors), japanese (true megatron colors).
