This figure has a godly presence and feels like the ultimate anime villain in transformers form. He fits in perfectly in the aesthetic of transmetal 2, which means he looks perfect beside his minions. You may think some of his modes are anus, but it represents his complete domination of reality. He's a chad unit of a figure and he sits on the apex of reality. He's worthy centerpiece for any collection and he's a whole lot of fun too.

Most underrated Megatron ever. I would love to see a an updated figure someday that's 10 or even 12 inches tall since he was actually supposed to be the same height as Omega Prime/God Fire Convoy in the show.

I would love to see this figure re-released in the upcoming Legacy collection if it gets a second wave or maybe even in the Kingdom line if it ever gets another wave. The only flaw in the original is those ball joints in his dragon-heads, made it damned-near impossible for mine to stand up in robot mode.

I've got another fun mode for this guy that's better than the boat thing - I picked up a used RID Megatron a while back, and while showing the various forms off to my lovely mother, while going to the hand mode she asked if it was going to turn into a scorpion. I said "No..." but then I realized you probably could get a pretty convincing scorpion mode out of it if you tried hard enough, and sure enough it's definitely doable. So there's your bonus of the day, a new mode for RID Megatron invented by some guy in the KZitem comments' mom.

My favorite version of Predacon Megatron, in terms of design. His robot, two-headed dragon, and jet modes are definitely the big three, the rest I can do without. My only complaint is that the ball-joints in his robot feet/dragon heads makes him hard to stand up unless he's leaning against something.

I don't care for all his naff alt-modes, but that bot mode is just 10/10, and I don't know anything about the character and the show. The gigatron version also looks great but I ran into the exact same problem when I looked to buy him a few weeks ago!

Not related to the video, really, but cuz you're an expert: would you name some cheap, easy-enough-to-find-online toys that score high on the fidgetability/tactility scale? I don't have much attachment to Transformers as an institution but they're neat & I could use a lil robot friend on my desk.

I have never seen the series either, but I kind of feel that a lot of those alt modes are redundant. I mean he changes into a jet, and changes into a 2-headed dragon, but then changes into a single-headed dragon that can fly. What for? just change into the duel headed dragon and fly like that. I also see no reason for him changing into a boat, when again he can fly and the elephant seems pointless. the ostrich seems pointless, even the car seems pointless to me. The most pointless one I have seen though is the hand. I mean that would be cool if it turned out he was literally Unicron's right hand or something, but I don't know about that.
