 Great Megatron FigureAug 04, 2008
By J. Sterling
I agree with some of the other reviews that this is one of the better Megatron figures to grace the aisles of the toy department. (Especially compared to the $50 disaster that was the "icy" Megatron figure from the Transformers movie...)
Vehicle Mode is rock solid. Everything fits together snugly and stays that way through fairly rigorous play. The swords-to-propellers transformation means there are no Robot Mode accessories to keep track of while in Vehicle Mode.
I agree the angle of his legs in Robot Mode make him look like he needs a bathroom break, but all things considered, this is a nice, sturdy figure that works well in both modes and as a toy to be played with rather than just posed in a display case.
(If the legs bother you too much, there is an alternate Megatron Animated figure that seems to have corrected the awkward angle.)

Greatest Megatron Ever!Aug 28, 2008
By Majeed Lochan
"Superion Prime"
Beautifully done. This figure's fun factor is off the chart, awesome vehicle mode, great accessories ( 2x swords, 1x arm mounted fusion cannon and 1x missile). The figure's mouth moves it has 20 points of articulation. Lights and 5 sound bites activated by pressing the decepticon insignia on its chest, 3 phrases which was done by the original voice actor (only in robot mode), 1 which sounds like the rotors of the helicopter (only in vehicle mode), 1 which is the trademark of all transformers..... the transformation sound (during transformation). The transformation gimmick will serve to stimulate the mind and also the figure with its both modes will stir the imagination of children. I've had this toy for about one month now and so far i haven't discovered any thing weak or prone to breaking. Overall this figure is the ultimate megatron, great homage to G1 megatron, with a more useable alternate mode. Bottom line is that it is a must have for anyone who likes transformers.

ravage 24/7Jun 22, 2011

"blood vamp"
One of the best Megatron's done so far.Complete with electronic sounds and speech this figure has it all.The cool thing also is that his expression on his face changes when he talks.Megatron has one sweet vehicle mode in a attack helicopter mode which is very futuristic looking with spin-linked blades that become two swords for up close battles in robot mode.What I also love is how he has a fusion missle launch cannon on the arm like a tribute to the G1 days.The detail is some of the best you will find on a transformer figure.The poseability for acting out battle scenes or displaying is excellent.The transformation level is advanced meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers there is mid-level difficulty.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger there might be some assistance needed in the process.I have every movie version Megatron and this is 100% still one of my favorites in my collection.This version is very versatile for all ages,so A child after a few times,some practice,and patience should be able to handle it.The durability is also an A++ where Megatron can handle whatever you throw his way.Bottom line Megatron is a high quality,well-made, 10 out of 10 figure all transformer fans should love and enjoy.I highly recommend Megatron Animated Leader to all transformer fans and collectors out there.Transformers Rule!!!!!

Awesome!Jul 18, 2008
I LOVE this figure. One of the best megatrons ever made. There are only two problems, one is balance, he doesn't stand up that well, and his legs' position make him look like he's gotta pee. Besides that, he's one of my favorite animated toys. (His arm is a bit loose)

 Overall excellent version of a classic villainJul 22, 2008
By Bumblewave
The Transformers Animated Leader-class Megatron toy is one of the more expensive toys in the line, so the big question you have to ask is "is this toy worth the $40?". Quality-wise, yes.
The design in robot mode is very accurate to the version in the new animated series, which should make a lot of the fans of the original "Generation 1" Megatron very happy. The helicopter mode goes together nicely and looks very presentable on it's own.
First off, lets look at the gimmicks for this toy. Pressing the Decepticon emblem on his chest causes various red LEDs to flash while the mouth moves and the figure utters one of three phrases. It's hard to tell if they had Corey Burton (who provides Megatron's voice in the show) do the voice for this version because the figure shouts everything. It's a nice feature and the voice is alright, but I wish they had used the "Decepticons! Transforms and rise up!" line from the show. It would have made sense on the toy. Still the feature is pretty nice overall. The only bug I noticed is with the moving "eyebrows" when the button is pressed. After a while they get out of position and start to look screwy if you don't push them back into position. A minor glitch but it doesn't really detract from the toy.
The toy has a relatively simple transformation process and yet it keeps both modes looking good. Hasbro-Tomy have a really nice touch with the detachable arm cannon. There are a lot of joints that allow a good range of poseability and they are stay nice and tight. There are only minimal paint and mold errors, compared to a lot of Hasbro's recent run. The only real mold flaw I found was in the arm cannon piece. It works fine in robot mode, but in helicopter mode, it's hard to attach and detach the part and when it is attached, it seemed to connect poorly along the seam on one side or the other. The piece is slightly too wide so that one side tends to pop loose slightly when the other side is properly in place. I had to loosen one of the screws slightly to get it to stay in place properly, but after that it seems to work fine.
The biggest problem I have with the toy is the way the legs are designed. It's very hard to find a pose where they stand properly without making the figure look really awkward or cause it to lean a lot to one side or the other. The lower legs bend outward slightly from the knees, due to the method they used for the transformation. It seems like the knees themselves needed another joint or a modified version of the joint they used to compensate for the odd shape of the legs. There are poses that work, just don't expect a wide range of poses where the figure will stand without support.
Overall, I was extremely pleased with the design and quality of the toy. It's a worthy addition to any Transformers fan's collection and worth the price.
