Title:
Megatron Legends
Description:
Megatron (Legends Class, 2007)
Japanese name: EZ Collection Megatron
Released in the second wave of Transformers Legends Class figures, Megatron transforms into a Cybertronian jet. This figure uses the pre-final head design from concept art and some ancillary media. Due to his transformation scheme, he has a swiveling waist. Despite its simplicity, this figure is far closer to Megatron’s actual silhouette in the movie than most of his larger figures.
The figure is misassembled in the package, with the arms being swapped, putting paint applications and more sculpted detail on the wrong sides of his arms; it is a simple matter to rectify this though as his shoulders are easily popped off and swapped around. It should be noted that the arms & head are molded in softer, rubbery plastic. While they don’t harden and break quickly like Legends Class Scorponok’s stinger, the pieces can become loose around the hard plastic ball joints over time. Also, the parts are prone to photodegrading over a few years.
The figure is slightly mistransformed in the picture to the right, as well as all pictures depicting his vehicle mode below - the wingtips should be rotated 180° downwards, making for a more screen-accurate jet mode.
The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy’s subsidiary Subarudo.
