A while ago (actually March) I've posted my previous collection of the
Transformers Alternity Convoy (Optimus Prime) and today I'm gonna post up an entry based on Autobots' arch nemesis - mighty Megatron! also in the Alternity line, this time featured in Nissan Fairlady Z car.
Initiall I didn't think I wanted to get this guy, seeing from the photos that the design is almost the same... not sure if i wanted to fork out the extra cash for it or not but after seeing the transformation video from youtube, I realized that the difference is enough for me to pick him up and i did!
Not really fond of the blue color for Megatron, there's another dark silver version.. see if i could get it this week.. i'll sell this off perhaps.. hahahahha.. Megatron is much more appropriate in dark colors.
Anyway, the look of the car is almost the same with Convoy except the boot of the car doesnt opens up like a real car, instead, it opens up entirely for the transformation. Another downside is that both the passengers' door could not open wide, as wide as a car because of the transformation as well.. it can open like.. around 30degrees vs. some 45 - 50 degrees of the Convoy's version.
The plus side however, was that they reduced the die casted part of the "backbone" of the car which may seemed like a plus or minus depending on how u look at it. This adds more stability to the figure as I'm experiencing a lot of trouble just to have Convoy standing up straight let alone any dynamic poses. megatron has stronger ball join on his feet too!
And, he is all Samurai-ish looking with the samurai's armor shoulder pad and crotch guard!
and he even have twin Katana blades! talk about coolness~~~
Shoulder blades on each side of the arm, Convoy has twin blasters...
So there you go, just a brief description and hopefully the photos tells more than I did. :) overall a very good and recommended figure for Transformers enthusist!
