Title:
Megatron (Robot Mode)
Description:
Megatron (Ultra Class, 1996)
Takara ID number: D-1
Accessories: Two missiles, water squirter
This Megatron transforms into a purple, green, and yellow organic Tyrannosaurus rex. He has very limited articulation in beast mode, located mostly in his legs and the shoulders of his beast mode arms. In addition, he has a water squirter in his dinosaur mouth, which is activated when pulling back on the upper part of his head, opening his jaw, which in turn pulls back on the pump inside his tongue. His thigh-shells can also extend out from the body to fire spring-loaded, anchor-shaped projectiles.
In robot mode, he features two bat-like wing adornments on either side of his head that wrap around to become his mutant head. In addition to his water squirter (now located as his right) and his hip-mounted launchers, his left arm (made up of the dinosaur tail) contains a spring-loaded pincer gimmick that is activated by pushing and pulling on a black lever on his elbow. The water bladder for the squirting gimmick is contained inside a removable throat/tongue section, allowing for the user to fill it with water. The plug located on the top, covering the hole used to fill the bladder, and the pump inside the tongue are both highly susceptible to deteriorating due to the rubbery plastic used; crumbling to dust with age.
The Takara release features no changes from the Hasbro version. This mold was also used to make the Beast Machines Dinobot T-Wrecks.
