Title:
Transformers G2 Megatron Go-bot
Description:
Megatron (Go-Bot, 1995)
Accessories: Rifle
Part of the second assortment of Go-Bots, this version of Megatron is a mild redeco of the Autobot Blowout, transforming into a 1:64-scale Porsche 959 sports car with through-axle construction. This not only makes him roll exceptionally fast in car mode, but also makes him largely compatible with playsets from the ”Hot Wheels” and ”Matchbox” toy-car lines. Megatron and Blowout share the same blue and black inner robot colors, but Megatron uses opaque silver plastic with a shiny metallic silver paint overcoat, as opposed to Blowout’s smoky-clear plastic. (All of the toys from the first wave that had transparent plastics were released in this wave with opaques instead; Blowout and Firecracker became new versions of Megatron and Optimus Prime respectively, while Gearhead and Motormouth stayed themselves.)
In Europe, this deco was sold as Blowout himself rather than Megatron (at least in the French/Dutch/German packaging variant).
In Japan, his hood was tampographed with a stylized ”T” with the Transformers logo set within the top bar, the same deco that appears on Go-Bots Soundwave and the Japanese release of Go-Bots Optimus Prime.
This sculpt was also redecod for the third wave of Go-Bots to become Frenzy, and later still into the 2001 Robots in Disguise Spy Changer Hot Shot.
