Cybertron Megatron is a Triple Changer, transforming into either a Cybertronic dragster or jet. Megatron comes with a Cyber Key of unique design, which fits into a slot above his cockpit canopy to activate a "powering up” noise and a pair of spring-loaded, pop up engines. The engines are on either side in a double-barrelled spring-loaded missile launcher, which makes firing noises and flashes with red LEDs when its missiles are launched.
His instructions for vehicle mode omit the final step of folding his calf-guards back behind his aft, leaving them awkwardly hanging out at his sides.
In robot mode, Megatron’s design is partially based upon Armada Unicron’s design, with very similar shoulders and arms, though the retention of Unicron’s trademark orange leads to a rather chaotic color scheme (how appropriate). He features two weapons in this mode, each released by inserting a Cyber Key into the vehicle halves that now sit behind his shoulders. The right opens to reveal a removable, rotating gatling gun weapon made up of his left front car wheel (called the "Death Machine Gun” in Japan), while the left pops loose and unfolds to become his "Unicron power claws”, a bladed melee weapon that pegs onto his forearm (called the "Death Claw” in Japan). He sports particularly effective light-piping in his eyes.
Megatron can combine with Nemesis Breaker for Dark Claw Mode, giving him a massive clawed arm (nominal position is with Nemesis as his left arm), though his balance in this form is tenuous at best. In a presumable coincidence, the connection sockets are a match for those used by his old Armada combination partner Tidal Wave, so you can attach his arms to this Megatron too.
The Takara Galaxy Force "Master Megatron” version of this figure uses lavender on the rubbery parts instead of violet, a paler, more metallic shade of green for all the non-molded green parts, and, strangely, an unpainted robot nose. Unusually for Takara, these differences made it less show accurate than Hasbro’s version, which was released a few months later. The Korean Mocom Toy release of the Galaxy Force figure features a painted nose, but keeps the other Takara differences.
