Megatron
Description:
Megatron (Core Class, 2021)
Hasbro ID number: WFC-K13
TakaraTomy ID number: KD EX-06
TakaraTomy release date: July 31, 2021
Accessories: Blaster/Tank Barrel
Kingdom Core Class Megatron is a Legends-sized toy that can interact with Titan Class figures. He takes many cues from his larger Earthrise toy sculpt-wise, with similar robot and Earth-based tank forms... save for the head, which seems to be based on his Masterpiece figure. His tank mode lacks any kind of rolling wheels.
Megatron features his trademark Fusion Cannon, but it was attached with a mushroom joint. He includes a blaster resembling his original pistol alternate mode which forms his (rather unconvincing) tank mode’s barrel and has a stacked peg with 3-millimeter and 5-millimeter portions for compatibility with other Core figures as well as larger size classes. As shown in the instructions, but not specifically pointed out as such, the gun can plug into his back to replicate the gun barrel from the G1 figure. Due to the shoulder pylons, Megatron can barely recreate the vertical upwards Fusion Cannon aiming pose, though attempting to do so only results in the cannon slightly aiming downward. Due to the right forearm needing two pieces for the transformation, Megatron ends up having two asymmetrical forearm parts.
Megatron suffers from a mildly annoying issue regarding his shoulder joints; the hook tabs can barely lock into place, and they can be dislodged if his arms are bent back in robot mode. Fortunately, the shoulder ball-and-socket joints are loose enough (though not to a greater extent) to counter this.
If one chooses, the blaster can be replaced with another weapon to form a convincing tank barrel, such as the Thrilling 30 Legends Class Optimus Prime’s or Cliffjumper’s guns.
