Movie Megatron does not feature the voice of doom | #Transformers First Movie Leader Class Megatron

As a collector in 2007 who also worked at Walmart during this time, this was the only figure that shelfwarmed. Collectors at the time were split. They either hated it because the alternate mode was a junk pile that dodnt resemble anything close to an alien jet, or the robot mode itself for not resembling Megatron at all. Then you had those who actually preferred the Voyager Megatron because of the lack of gimmicks and the alternate form was a bit more streamlined. I bought both (which was easy to do because I opened those boxes on stock day and a 10% discount made collecting for me a bit more affordable) and at the time I liked the Voyager more, because the ocean shields did hide the robot parts more than the Leader did and looked better in both modes, even of he couldnt stand that well. Today, on my shelf I have this one in robot mode while Voyager is in vehicle mode. They're much better toys than we gave them credit for in 2007, but 2007 Megatron is still an eyesore that the toy at least tried to come across as fun yet still menacing.

"the voyagers feet can fuck off" got a chuckle out of me

[tzgaming]

a toy you grew up with, & you see as vintage, to me I still see as 'modern', & part of my renewed adult collecting experience 😅

2:03 Nokia. Gotta hand it to the Japanese. They know the way of the samurai.

So the back kibble for all these Megs might actually be a result of a few select scenes from the first movie, that showed Megatron’s wing bits transforming first and then the rest of him, so he probably has some kinda flight mode in robot mode that’s just his wings extending from his back, and it looks like the toy creators just ran with that image

Two things that will help improve both of his gimmicks:
1) Take the spring out of his Fusion Cannon. Believe it or not, it locks closed pretty well with out it, and stays open. You can also slide the piece over on a short rail to center it properly, which isn't in the instructions.
2) put the spring from the cannon into the side with the flail. The latch that holds it on has a peg that the spring fits snuggly onto, because the first was meant to be launched but they left the second spring out for some reason. So officially the gimmick got neutered but can be restored WHILE improving the other one.

You can also extend the nosecone in jet mode but that's a matter of choice, since the back half ends up so much skinnier as a result.

“Vintage Movie toys”

Gods I bought that toy with my own money when I was 13, brand new from Walmart or some shit in ‘07 and I still have it

And I that old??

[MrWednesday.]

Lol i was never able to muck around with my old Uni trilogy figures after 8pm because the ratchets were so loud theyd annoy everyone in the house lol. Still have this guy on display with my other Megs. Not my fav but still cuts a pretty impressive figure lined up.

[bilal_Hadjlaoui]

This figure is still cool in my opinion i mean is really nostalgia good figure tbh

[J.Grant]

I had one of these as a kid thank you for the nostalgia trip

[popculturehero]

I like his cold colors. Made him more interesting than just being grey. He was featured in the commercials for the 2007 movie toys. So while he's not movie accurate he is definitely the megatron of this era.

The flail has a black switch on the kibble!

The most recent leader class I acquired was Kingdom/Legacy Galvatron and I have had him for over a week and I just like it so much for its plastic heftyness, minimum hollowness, the G1 accuracy that destroys the Titans Return version but I added missing paint apps such as his black goatee, the red in the center of his buckle and his shoulder towers and removed the battle damage.

[goddonfuddy]

Got 1 for 15 pound. The nostalgia is unreal. Great vid my guy 👌

[HORRIOR]

For me the definition of leader class is Cybetron Megatron/Galvatron. Big, beefy, flamboyant design, and more gimmicks than you can count with one hand.

[JoseMartinez-dfdb]

I have the gray, premium-finish, 2007 leader class and I love him! you have him transformed wrong. The tail sits closer to the body.

[paakdisayaniyom]

I missed this era of Transformers​ toys...

[geo-fry]

I have the MPM version, picked him up brand new for 40 USD. I really like him, definitely worth what I paid for him. I don’t have the studio series version, so I don’t know if it’s better, but the MPM is my favorite figure of the design.

[leftygurl]

you mentioning the cost of oil going up puts modern tfs and their pricing into perspective a bit better for me. like, your dollar went farther in 2007, but now not only do dollars mean less, there’s also the problem of hasbro used up all their good plastic a decade ago

[Optimusprime]

Ay, that articulation ASMR got me feeling some type of way, didn't expect that, feels good 😌
