Armada Megatron But…..Not….Good??? | #transformers Combiner Wars Leader Class Megatron.
Bro’s got something with Armada Megatrons
This does NOT look like Armada Megatron. I hate that the got rid of the shoulder treads AND made the horns orange. No, just NO, dont change his freaking whole design and just keep his colors, he was fine the way he was!!! Like WTF‽
One fun part about this mould is that it has Megatron's spark chamber as seen in beast wars as a moulded detail on the swiveling section that the shoulder joints connect to
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the joints. The mechanism has some slight play, but the thjngs holds remarkably well. As a matter of fact, it's tons better than the Legacy Armada Prime joints, and apparently, you seemed to love that figure.
Gonna want to watch out for those treads, apparently this mold is reported to have issues with the rubber treads melting the plastic ala RotF Bludgeon. Not as bad as Bludgeon, but it's worth keeping in mind.
Glad I skipped this one because the legacy one is exactly what I wanted
I remember this guy being really beloved at the time
I convinced myself this toy is good back in the day just because, as a kid who grew up watching Armada, I desperately wanted to believe it was good.
Really hope the rumoured 86 Megatron takes the good parts out of previous attemps and makes a satisfying g1 style megatron. The tank mode on this is amazing and the transformation is effective, but the robot mode leaves much to be desired. Meanwhile the Siege figure is a pretty solid H-Tank but the Earthrise figure is just- ugh
I still do enjoy the CW Leader G1 Megatron. He's flawed for sure, but the mold was made for G1 Megatron, and it's cool to have a big G1 Megatron. The Armada version of this mold just always seemed so wack. They definitely tried to make this mold work for the Armada version, and I do think the head sculpt is pretty good, but it just wasn't enough to save this figure.
Fun fact: This toy sold so poorly and was slammed and hated so hard by Armada/UT fans that it actually scared 3rd party companies from trying any major attempts at UT again for another 7 years before Fans Hobby took a shot at it with their Optimus and Megatron.
At exactly
Honestly I love it when you fiddle with the toys. The sounds of the plastic squeaking and the ratchets clicking make for such good ASMR-y sounds lol
Owning one of these and not regretting my purchase back in 2017, even now. I got it on clearance for 30 Euros if I recall correctly.
This was one of the first figures that got me into collecting. Nowadays it has obvious issues and the mold is lacking a lot of modern engineering that makes for a better more posable figure but he's such a big solid brute I love him. The tank mode is fantastic, imo.
Combiner wars line was truely one of the toy line of time

This guy was one of the first Transformers I got when I started collecting, so hearing you go through all of the ratchet joints was actually a bit nostalgic for me.
