#megatronweek2k17

Oh my gosh, I almost forgot! Last day of Megatron week 2K17! So, I saved the best for last. After people bitched and moaned about MP-05, a third party company called X Transbots comes out with an in-scale MP Megatron called Apollyon. And a whole new set of problems arose. Figure didn't fit together, joints were hella loose, thing broke easily, and the company that made him has severe customer service issues. So, I bought Apollyon because he was the only choice we had.....until War of the Megatrons 2017 arose. We now had Apollyon, Despotron from Make Toys, an official new Takara MP Megatron, and this dude you see in the picture....Mightron from DX9. Of all of them, Mightron captured the true essence and spirit of what Megatron should really look like and feel like, and that is why I chose him. I regret nothing. This figure is so well done that I'm not even bothering with the forthcoming official Megatron 2.0. This is my boy, right here.

Day 6 of Megatron week 2K17 Anyone who knows me well knows I absolutely love MP-05. Riddled with defects, major transformation issues, and a different scaling size, everyone and their mother has something bad to say about this guy. Idgaf. He is damn gorgeous to me in all his regality and beauty. Haters gonna hate.

Combiner Wars Leader Megatron (with Laserbeak) Sporting the rocked out look currently seen in the IDW comics and the Earth Wars game, this Megatron made many a collector happy as it revitalized old ideas with a new approach, even giving the collector the choice to make him Autobot or Decepticon, and he is one of the best versions we have seen since TF Prime.

Megatron week 2K17 day 3 Straight out of IDW comics, this deluxe Generations Megatron turns into a wide winged spacecraft, adding some flair to the way we look at the character. While I'm not crazy about his arm cannon replacement, I do like the look and body design. It was in this specific look that Megatron beat down a depressed Starscream who had failed at leading the Decepticons for a time.

Day 2 of Megatron week 2K17 This is Robots in Disguise Megatron. Not immediately recognizable in the states by name, he was also part of the Car Robots line in Japan, which was the same as RID. I rather like this design, and he has like 10 different transformations or something. Hasbro did a white repaint of the figure calling him Galvatron.

Kicking off #megatronweek2k17, this is the very first official Beast Wars version of Megatron.  He originally came in a two pack with Optimus, whom transformed into a bat, way back in the day.  Looks quite different from the T-Rex Megatron that we all became familiar with through the show and toys.
