Title:
Megatron 3rd Missing parts
Description:
Megatron (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
Japanese ID number: DD01
Accessories: MechTech Blaster/
Fusion Cannon, tarp/cape
MechTech Megatron now transforms into a disfigured Mad Max truck officially licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and trailer, although it lacks many of the features in the movie, such as the spikes on the roof and the rope mesh on the hood. The forward half of the trailer-mounted oil tank converts into Megatron’s MechTech Blaster, which in turn converts into a Fusion Cannon when the ladder is pushed in. Like all MechTech Voyager toys, his weapon can lock into this mode by pushing the ladder all the way in and rotating it to the right. Megatron has six MechTech 5mm post/MechTech ports in vehicle mode, including three on his MechTech weapon, two on the steps below the truck cab doors, and a self-covering port (which automatically fills in the hole when a weapon is not inserted) on the roof. Though the truck cab and its "trailer” are a single entity that cannot be separated, Megatron does have an articulation joint between where the trailer and cab connect where the fifth wheel hitch would be, despite being formed from his independently-jointed legs.
The rubbery tarp over the tanker is a two piece affair, with a detachable ’hood’ accessory that slots into a port beside Megatron’s neck. This deliberately obscures Megatron’s badly mutilated face, a callback to the injuries he received at the climax of Revenge of the Fallen. In robot mode, two more MechTech ports become available on his legs, and two on the truck steps end up on his arms; all other MechTech ports from vehicle mode are still usable. Megatron’s fusion cannon can even be mounted on his back, like in the movie, thanks to the truck’s cab (and associated MechTech port) winding up on his back. Care should be taken when transforming the shoulders, as the tiny Mack dog hood ornament is prone to being snapped off by the shifting black bumper section. It is also quite difficult to get his chest to tab into his shoulder panels due to his arms getting in the way, and his already short pegs having to tab into very shallow holes.
Megatron is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.
The gun from the Evasion Mode Optimus Prime toy, released several years after, is intended to be compatible with this figure-not only is it sculpted to resemble the shotgun Megs used (twice) in the movie, a tab on the handle (not the post that was supposed to be the handle for Age of Extinction Optimus) allows him to wield it properly by slotting onto a slot on his hand. It even has 5mm posts on its side so that it can mount in movie-accurate fashion on his back!
