Transformers Generations Megatron

Based on the new game 'War For Cybertron', Hasbro introduced a new toyline called Transformers Generations, where most of the figures presented in Cybertron mode basically. But it's weird when in the same toyline, certain figures came in earth mode like Autobot Drift, Thrust, Dirge, Blurr etc etc. May be Hasbro is planning a new game War For Cybertron part 2: Earth Mode?

Well, Hasbro always come up with something weird and with lazy attitude, they will keep introducing the old same mold over and over again. Just to suck all your money with the same toy.

Here we can see another review of Transformers Generations Megatron, Cybertron mode. Why making a review for another Transformers Generations line? Why not try old line like Galaxy Force or other lines? For me, the new line is the best eventhough they in deluxe size because the articulation are better than Supreme Class of Transformers Galaxy Force or Transformers Cybertron.

For example, this one, Transformers Generations Megatron. So small yet so awesome with the articulation and transformation. I like Megatron new mould especially the Revenge of The Fallen (Leader Class) and Alternity mould. We can see lot of improvement here and there eventhough it's kinda small.

Let's get back to our review shall we?

This is the Cybertron mode of Transformers Generations Megatron from the game War For Cybertron. As we can see here, it came with a big cannon and two pair of big legs. The vehicle mode looks so awesome with the big cannon. If you take out the cannon, the vehicle looks dull, nothing but a weird looking spaceship.

Meg in box!

Another different view from the side.

Big cannon show off.

The Cybertronian mode is really amazing. It's kinda futuristic vehicle and yet showed the seniority of Megatron.

Robot Mode:

This is the first look of Megatron in bot mode. It's kinda hard to transform this fella because the shoulder parts is kinda hard. You have to use accessive power to slot them in.

Once transformed, the cannon looks awesome on his hand.

Closer look on the upper body.

Close up on the chest.

Awesome cannon!

Rear view in bot mode.




Few action with the cannon on hand.

Alternative slot for the cannon. Warrior mode.

Side view with the cannon at the back.

Rear view with the cannon.

Overall, i like this Generations mould of Megatron. Megatron looks so strong with the big cannon. The feet also big and bulky, to match the big cannon i guess. Color wise, almost still the same color of Megatron. Black and white with red color to show more of the big cannon. Rear view also looks nice with the image behind his back. If look closely, you will see the hidden image in it.

I give this fella, 9.5 out of 10. Why? Because there's a lot of thing i like about this Generations Megatron, his big cannon, color, big feet and futuristic Cybertronian mode.

Go grab him now guys! 2 if you can still find it!

Transformers Animated Ironhide (Hasbro Ver)

Since Hasbro Malaysia decided to stop bringing in new wave for Animated Toyline, it's kind of hard to get the new wave from outside Malaysia. Starting with Arcee and then Rodimus Minor. Getting Arcee that time is seriously too difficult because of the price hiked so damn fast especially seller in US plus the shipping cost is pain in the a$$.

I bought Ironhide from a seller in US which cost me around RM100 with shipping together with 4 more deluxe and a t-shirt. That way, i can save lot more with combined shipping because 3 of the deluxe class came with lot more cheaper price than Animated Ironhide.

Too bad the box arrived crushed with Ironhide & Rodimus Minor boxes got dented real hard especially Ironhide, nearly tore the box apart. Felt so bad about it but cant blame the seller though because the way the box got crushed, i know who's fault it is. Whether United States Postal Service or POS Malaysia.

Forget about that, let gets to the review of Transformers Animated Ironhide Hasbro version. As far as i know, Ironhide is the repaint version of Ratchet Cybertron mode with different head mould. Same old box of Transformers Animated for the deluxe class.


Notice the dented box at the lower part of the box? Crushed quite hard.

More repaints of the same mould of Bumblebee, Swindle and Blurr.


Side views of the box.

Out from the box.

To my suprise, when i opened the manual, it showed Ratchet image with Ironhide name on it. What a big error done by Hasbro this time. Come on guys, focus please!

First view of Animated Ironhide Cybertron mode i guess.

Overall, Animated Ironhide is a excellent mould especially on the shoulders part. You can twist and turn to slot in and out when transforming him into bot mode or car mode. The feet parts also nice. You can hide the whole feet so easily. And of course, animated toylines always came with smaller lower parts of the body especially the legs. They got bigger upper body but smaller parts for legs. Ironhide looks bulky to me when you view it from the side but still a good mould for a deluxe class. I guess he deserve 8 out of 10 because of the color, articulation and transformation.

Quite easy to transform him, just need patience and a cup of coffee.
