Title:
Leader 1 With Megatron (Vehicle Mode)
Description:
Megatron with Leader-1 (Giga-Con, 2002)
Takara ID number: MD-01
Takara release date: December 26, 2002
Available only with the larger Armada Megatron toy, Leader-1 transforms into a Cybertronic buggy with twin top-mounted blasters. As a Mini-Con, he has a "Powerlinx” socket on his vehicle-mode underside which allows him to attach to any toy with a "Powerlinx” style 5 mm post; some toys have special Powerlinx posts that activate/unlock gimmicks when a Mini-Con is attached. Oddly, the central peg inside Leader-1’s Powerlinx socket is a separate piece of plastic from the rest of his torso, with a small "button” connected to it on his back. It is unclear what purpose this serves.
He also has three different "gun” configurations: one is a hand-held blaster (his right fist ends in a 5 mm post to serve as a handle), one is an "angled” blaster designed to fit in the flip-up tank-tread panel on Megatron’s right shoulder, the other is supposed to go on the back of Megatron’s main turret (and seemingly involves the aforementioned mini-button of uncertain purpose).
This mold was also used to make Clench and Caliburn. He shares engineering with the Cybertron new-mold Mini-Con Drill Bit.
