Title:

Megatron 1st Leader

Description:
Megatron (Super, 2004)

Accessories: Tank/cannon, sword, missile

Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro), more»

Energon Megatron transforms into an off-white gray and blue Cybertronic jet, with a Hyper Mode activated by pulling on the translucent segments of his wings, unfolding their various panels to reveal more weapons. In robot mode, Megatron greatly resembles Generation 1 Galvatron, with a pair of large pivoting shoulder cannons. While he features decent articulation, especially compared to the Armada Ultra toy, he has limited posability due to a top-heavy design and spring-loaded auto-transforming hands and feet.
Megatron’s primary weapon is a large tank, based on his Armada body, featuring a spring-loaded missile launcher and an out-of-place machine gun sound effect. The tank attaches to Megatron in either of his modes as a cannon, either mounting on his back in jet mode, or clipping to his arm in robot mode. Inserting and then removing the rear of the tank into the scabbard on Megatron’s back draws out the sword blade stored there, and the tank can then attach to his arm to allow the Decepticon leader to wield the weapon. The sword’s connection point is spring-loaded, so that when the blade is struck against something, it activates a sword-clashing sound effect and a red LED that illuminates the translucent blade.
In the United States, this figure was initially only available at Walmart stores, and saw a wider release shortly after. It was later redecoed to create Energon Galvatron (see below).
