REVENGE OF THE FALLEN VOYGER MEGATRON

This figure is from 2009. He is a Decepticon leader. He was killed at the end of the first movie and they dumped his body into the Laurentian abyss in the ocean. The Decepticons stole the All Spark shard and the Contructicons and Ravage went into the abyss to resurrect mMegatron. They killed One of the Decepticons to rebuild Megatron and inserted the All Spark shard to reboot him.

Megatron went to the Fallen on one of Saturn's moons and the Fallen ordered him to kidnap Sam Whitwicky so they could extract the information in his brain. The Autobots came to the rescue though and Sam was saved. Megatron in a battle killed Optimus Prime. At the end of the film Megatron fought Prime as he was resurrected as Powered up Optimus and he defeated Megatron.

In the pr equal Dark of the Moon game he was a tank and then later on he got his truck mode as in Dark of the moon movie.

 
BIO; Trapped in the black, crushing depths of the sea, his mind inert in the grip of stasis lock, Megatron knew nothing of the desperate search mounted for his remains by the other Decepticons. When he was finally brought back online, their effort and sacrifice meant little to him. The only thing that had any meaning was revenge. He would have his vengeance against the human boy who cheated him of his prize, and he swore to celebrate over the smoking wreck of Optimus Prime.
 
ALTERNATE MODE; Space Flight Tank

Megatron is a tank but in the first movie he was a jet. This is not actually his official tank mode but a space flight tank mode which you saw a couple of time in  the movie. This replaces the jet mode. Some think it looks like a turtle and that it is a combination of The Fallen and Megatron. The face does look a bit like Soundwave.
His robot head is visible in this mode but it is in a more sensible place beneath the gun rather than sticking out like a sore thumb on top of the jet
He has this cage thing round his head in tank mode which hides it a bit.
His colour is a dark greenish blue and is not his true colour but it represents the gunk and stuff from the bottom if the ocean.
 
Leg armour from his robot form on the tank form giant after burners.
The wings are quite versatile.
He has tracks so they act as landing gear so he can then move off.
His feet are exposed but they do not look out of place as he is alien looking.
He has good articulation in his tank gun  which looks good and this can fire.
 
In robot mode he is impressive apart from the fact that he has a giant back pack but this can be used to make it look like he has wings. I tend to fold them in to make it more accurate to the movie.
 
He has some Mechalive as when you use his waist swivel some gears in his chest move.
Another thing is when his arm is is bent downwards a sword pops out.
 
The cannon is accurate to the movie which is nice.
one arm is the cannon  and the other has claws.
 
He has great light piping and head sculpt.
 
He does have touches of silver which is his real colour. The Japanese version is completely silver.
 
His insignia is on his leg armour.
 
The cage armour hangs off his shoulders and you have to pretend it is not there.
 
He has great articulation.
 
The armour on his legs is spring loaded but not sure why but it could be auto morph when you pull the legs to the side so his leg armour forms the giant afterburners in tank mode
 
I highly recommend him.
 
H e can be hard to find nowadays and are charging quite a bit but worth looking out for.
 
 
 
Overall he is a good figure.
