Megatron toy is megalame
I added a third item to my nerd collection adolescently reminiscent Transformers toys yesterday, purchasing Megatron to hide in my basement office display on a book shelf.
I already have Optimus Prime and Jazz, and though I wasn’t planning on purchasing any of the Decepticons, Megatron was the only Transformer Target had which appeared in the recent movie besides Brawl, another Decepticon.
After opening him and transforming him to his ship mode and then back into his robot mode — an event which took me about 30 to 40 minutes (I was watching the Colts/Patriots game at the same time) — I was sort of disappointed.
Megatron as a toy isn’t near as cool as Optimus. Mainly because Megatron is just too klunky. In ship form he’s too loose.
The front two arms that come out under the nose of the ship, even though they lock in, don’t lock in very well and move out of whack way too easily when you bump them. Also, Megatron’s legs are just a mess. Trying to figure out what exactly to do with his legs when transforming him from robot mode to ship mode took me over half the total transforming time. They fold and lock under his wings, but it’s really awkward. I’m still not sure if I did it right, even though I was looking at the directions.
The dull grey color takes a lot out of toy Megatron too when compared to the red and blue of Optimus. Not to mention Prime’s sweet flames. Also a semi is just way cooler than some weird looking ship.
At least now when Optimus and Jazz come alive when I’m away, they’ll have someone to battle. That’s gotta be more entertaining than talking with the Matt Wilhelm Ohio State championship bobblehead.
