As you may have noticed in the sightings forum, I said that classics megs is the best megatron ever. I stand by that, although he does have some flaws.. First off, I love the gun mode. Some don't like it bc of the nerf feel, but that doesn't bother me. He doesn't look like an earth gun, which is fine w/ me. I love the colors and detailing on this mode, and it's just fun to play w/. It's a bit small, but of course it needs to be for kids. Also, you can look through the scope and it has a crosshairs in it, which is a nice touch. My only real qualm w/ it is I wish it either had sounds (a g1 laser sound would've been cool) or fired a projectile. Ok, bot mode time. I love the head sculpt; it looks just g1 enough, but also new enough to be its own toy/character. The facial expression is very menacing, and the huge arm cannon is awesome. He has very good articulation and is simply fun to play w/. I do have a few problems w/ the bot mode though; the "wings" are kind of..well, hit or miss. They're kibbly, but they don't bother me too much. Another thing is that his arm cannon is on..the "side" of his arm, not the "top" like g1 megs, if that makes any sense.. I love the transformation; not too hard, not too easy, just original and fun. This is a great update to one of the best characters of g1, and it's a great toy. When you see one, buy it! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Thanks gman. Also, one detail I forgot to mention is that he has a ammunition clip; when tf'ing him to bot mode, you can see it feeding into the barrel, but in bot mode,it runs up his side and looks like it could be feeding into his arm cannon. Just another cool little touch.

One more thing that I forgot to mention; megatron is the only wave 1 classics fig that doesn't have a rub sign. There's a spot for it on his scope/arm cannon, but for some reason there isn't one there..

My only pet peeve is that again Hasbro made him larger than Prime
