{{disambig2|the real-world toyline|the in-fiction technology|Power Core Combination}}

[[Image:PCCLogo.jpg|center]]

'''Power Core Combiners''' is a subline within the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] franchise and carries with it all the [[continuity]] ambiguity that that entails. Its aesthetic and limited fiction seem inspired by the [[live-action film series]], but nothing can be said for certain.

The design of the toys relies heavily on the titular [[gimmick]], [[Combiner|combination]]. Every main character is a "[[Commander (PCC)|Commander]]" sold with either a [[Mini-Con]] (which connects in several configurations) or a set of four [[drone]] vehicles (which connect as limbs to form a larger robot). The Mini-Cons and drones can be attached to any Commander, so hundreds of combinations are possible between all of the figures.

Unlike the Mini-Cons of [[Unicron Trilogy|previous]] [[Classics (2006)|lines]], the Power Core Combiner Mini-Cons lack their own independent vehicle or animal modes. Rather, they turn from robots into accessories for their Commanders. In vehicle mode, a Commander can use a Mini-Con as a weapon or tool. In robot mode, a Commander can wield a Mini-Con as a hand-held weapon or wear him as armor.

The drones are similar to ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s "[[Prime Force]]", being vehicles with no robot modes. In fact, they are even more limited than the Prime Force, as an arm-drone cannot become a leg-drone (or vice versa). However, the fact that there are several teams of drones who can be swapped among Commanders adds a [[Special Teams|Scramble-City-esque]] dimension of play. Also, people who love [[Transformer]]s but hate transforming can breathe easy in the knowledge that the drones [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] into and out of limb mode simply by being plugged into and removed from a Commander.

==Fiction==
The toys' packaging presents a simple storyline about [[Power Core Combination]] technology being found on [[Earth]]. A more robust account was published in the [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 32|Collectors' Club magazine #32]]. As of yet there has been no narrative fiction, only summaries and [[bio]]s. As for which larger continuity (if any) this fits into, clues are scant and contradictory: The "Gestalt Process" is described in [[Devastator (ROTF)|horrific terms]] that match only the [[live-action film series]]; however, [[Huffer (PCC)|Huffer]]'s bio says that he's "just as inclined to grumble as he's ever been,"<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/7/1/5/9/0/cardback_1273141425.jpg Huffer's on-package bio]</ref> despite having never appeared in the movie universe before. Rather, this is clearly inspired by his ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Huffer (G1)|namesake]]. Any conclusions are up to the reader to make.

==Toys==
===Power Core Combiners===
====Commander 2-packs====
Each 2-pack contains a Commander (who turns into a robot and a vehicle) and a Mini-Con (who turns into a robot and various accessory modes for the Commander). Each Commander also has a torso mode with a different head, and this can be combined with any of the drone sets from the 5-packs (see below). Commanders also have standard Mini-Con ports, so they are compatible with any Mini-Cons, not just the transparent, [[neon]]-colored new ones.

'''Wave 1'''
* [[Huffer (PCC)|Huffer]] (semi cab) and [[Caliburst (PCC)|Caliburst]]
* [[Searchlight (PCC)|Searchlight]] (rescue helicopter) and [[Backwind]] (winch)
* [[Smolder]] (fire department brush truck) and [[Chopster]] (axe)

'''Wave 2'''
* [[Icepick (PCC)|Icepick]] (snowcat arctic vehicle) and [[Chainclaw (PCC)|Chainclaw]]
* [[Leadfoot (PCC)|Leadfoot]] (F1 racer) and [[Pinpoint]]
* [[Sledge (PCC)|Sledge]] (rockwheel trencher construction vehicle) and [[Throttler]] (drill)
{{comingsoontoy}}

'''Future Waves'''
* [[Windburn]] (Searchlight redeco) and [[Darkray]]
* [[Darkstream]] (Skyburst redeco) and [[Razorbeam]]
* [[Steelshot]] (Bombshock redeco) and [[Pinpoint]]
* [[Heavytread (PCC)|Heavytread]] and [[Groundspike]]
* [[Skyhammer (PCC)|Skyhammer]] and [[Airlift]]
{{comingsoontoy}}

====5-packs====
Each 5-pack contains a Commander (who turns into a robot and a vehicle) and four drones (which turn into vehicles and limbs). The drones have an [[Automorph Technology|automatic]] "deploy" transformation when they attach and an automatic retract feature to vehicle mode when detached. Arm-drones and leg-drones cannot swap functions. Each drone has Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]] [[peg|hardpoint]]s. Any set of drones can combine with any Commander, even the ones sold in 2-packs.

'''Wave 1'''
* [[Bombshock (PCC)|Bombshock]] ([[Combaticon (PCC)|Combaticons]])
* [[Skyburst]] ([[Aerialbot (PCC)|Aerialbots]])

'''Wave 2'''
* [[Double Clutch (PCC)|Double Clutch]] ([[Rallybot]]s)
* [[Mudslinger (PCC)|Mudslinger]] ([[Destructicon (PCC)|Destructicons]])

{{factions|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Inferno}}
:''Inferno is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Infernomovieprimedirectives.jpg|right|400px|thumb|That's some bold posing for a shrink.]]
The horrors of war left many Autobots in emotional turmoil, unsure whether there was even a point to functioning. That's where the psychologist '''Inferno''' comes in. Using complicated diagnostic programs to analyse the feelings of his fellow Autobots, he then adds and adjusts software and code to let his patients cope with their feelings.

Everyone still recognizes [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] first, though. Tough break.

==Fiction==
====IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics====
[[Image:Infernomoviedefiance.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Nobody upstages Big Daddy!]]
After the alien invasion that was a precursor to the Transformers' civil war, Inferno was among a handful of Autobots who assisted [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] in assessing damage. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2}}

Inferno, part of a small group of Autobots guarding the ruins of [[Tyger Pax]], found themselves under attack by countless [[Decepticon|Decepticons]], unaware that they guarded the true location of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]]. As the onslaught intensified, their leader [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] led them into a suicide play, giving them some clue of the true importance of their mission. They collapsed the ruined substructure around themselves, trapping as many Decepticons with them as possible and buying precious time for the All Spark to be removed from the Decepticons' grasp.

Inferno suffered major torso damage at the <s>hands</s> thrusters of a [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]-type drone just before the roof collapsed and was not seen again. His fate remains unknown. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Prime Directive issue 1}}

{{note|Inferno was unnamed in either appearance. For his appearance in the first movie prequel, his name was supplied by artist [[Don Figueroa]], though colorist [[Josh Burcham]] claimed he is merely a generic. His second appearance was based on his toy.}}

**''Accessories'': Claw-missile, disc projectile, claw attachment, blaster attachment

: A [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] redeco of ''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]], Inferno transforms into a red Nissan Patrol rescue SUV. When a [[Mini-Con]] is attached to his hood-mounted Mini-Con port, the grille springs open. Pulling back on the attached Mini-Con launches a rescue disk/missile. Similarly, when a Mini-Con is used on his emergency lights port and is pushed forward, the sirens flash and a voice chip activates. It still says "RED UH-LURT! WOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOO!"

: In robot mode, pulling back on the Mini-Con unlocks a shoulder-mounted missile/rescue grappling claw launcher, which can also be detached and held in his hand. His right leg guard contains several tools that can be attached onto his left wrist socket, while his left leg guard can be unfolded to become a Mini-Con repair bay. He comes with his Mini-Con partner [[Longarm (Movie Mini-Con)|Longarm]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie Ratchet 2005Concept.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Ratchet preferred yellow, so Inferno gets sloppy seconds.]]
* Inferno's appearance in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[Movie Prequel (2007)|prequel comics]] was based on the preproduction design of Movie [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] (see right). After [[DreamWorks]] decided to make Ratchet a different rescue vehicle and yellow, artist [[Don Figueroa]] repurposed the original design for Inferno.

* Later, Inferno got a toy via inspiration from the same preproduction materials. According to [[Hasbro]] designer [[Joe Kyde]]'s [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=News/Item&newsid=4EC7EA7D-D56F-E112-46AC70D02754072E design notes on Hasbro's Transformers website], Generation 1 [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], the preproduction color scheme of movie [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and [[Micromaster]] [[Tote]] were inspirations for Inferno's color scheme.

Megatron (Movie)/toys

2009-12-26T11:59:38Z

220.239.173.57: /* Battle Chargers */

'''[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]''' got the Hollywood bad-guy treatment, and therefore got truckloads of toys too!

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Legends Megatron toy.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Just what the hell do I turn into?]]
*'''Megatron''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Megatron'''
:Legends class Megatron is the smallest mainline ''Movie'' Megatron toy. The sheer simplicity of the Legends class toy means that his vehicle mode is basically his robot mode splayed out. His robot mode is passably accurate, but has the Alien Queen-esque head design that was replaced with the finalized design after this figure's production (though due to the lack of detail, it can also be interpreted as his current head design).
{{-}}

*'''Generations Legends''' (Target exclusive multi-pack, 2007)
[[Image:TargetGenerationsLegends.jpg|thumb|Megatron is quite beside himself.]]
:A Target exclusive, this four-pack of Legends Class figures contains two versions of both Optimus Prime and Megatron, namely [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Movie Legends Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (Armada)|Legends of Cybertron Megatron]] and Movie Legends Megatron.
{{-}}

[[Image:Movie Allspark Legends pack.jpg|right|150px|thumb|"Quick, Bumblebee! You hold up Megatron, I'll just fight with the others!"<br/>"...I hate you."]]
*'''Battle for the Allspark''' (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)
:A Toys'R'Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends Class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].
{{-}}

[[Image:Movie Legends JazzIceMegatron toys.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Wow, those guys sure do grow up fast... No, wait. They're still puny.]]
*'''Battle Jazz vs. Ice Megatron''' (Legends multi-pack, 2008)
:Ice Megatron is a, well, ice-themed redeco of Legends class Megatron, which means his black paint applications have been replaced by blue. He comes packed with yet another redeco of Legends class Jazz, this time "battle damaged".
{{-}}

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager Megatron toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Hey, I think I'm as weird as the ''War Within'' figures! ...nah, not there yet.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-14'''
**''Accessories:'' Projectile
:Voyager Class Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his Cybertronic jet, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them. With a significantly different (and simple compared to other figures of the same pricepoint) transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm. His wings feature flip-out "ice blades", and pulling on a piece in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like pincer claws. This design is remarkably similar to his Predacon- incarnation toys.

:Something interesting to note is that his feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two "rear toes" on each feet automatically close up when he's not standing up. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing, as the feet's parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.
{{-}}

[[Image:Movie Voyager Premium Megatron.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]
*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile
:One of the first figures available in the ''Premium Series'' (although not explicitly identfied on the packaging as such), Voyager Class Megatron was released exclusively at Best Buy on October 16th, 2007 alongside the North American launch of the ''Transformers'' movie DVD. Megatron has been completely redecoed, covering most of his previously grey parts with metallic silver paint and a black paint wash over the top of that. Black and gold highlights are used to offset all of the silver, while the transparent 'ice' parts are clear. These changes essentially make Megatron far more accurate to his movie appearance.

:Megatron is presented in robot mode inside a special display box similar in shape to the packaging for the Hasbro release of ''Generation 1'' ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]].
{{-}}

*'''Battle Over Mission City Megatron (Two-Pack)''' ("Screen Battles" Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile
:A Target exclusive [[repaint]] of Voyager Class Megatron in primarily beige and chocolate brown colors with brown paintwashes, this version replaces the ice colored translucent plastic with two shades of translucent orange to replicate a look that resembles Megatron's fiery demise (or atmospheric re-entry). Unlike the previous releases, this version's wings are painted to match the body color, so they give the appearance of molten slag. This version was only available in a two-pack with a mostly unchanged Deluxe Class [[Jazz (Movie)|Final Battle Jazz]] in reference to their fight on the skyscraper featured in the film. As the colors on this Megatron are very similar to the colors on the Screen Battles version of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], it might be assumed that those two sets are meant to also represent the climactic final battle at the end of the film.
{{-}}

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Leader Megatron toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-07'''
:Leader Class ''Movie'' Megatron transforms into a silver Cybertronic assault jet. In robot mode, Megatron's right fist disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "chain whip" weapon concealed within his forearm; pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a "[[fusion cannon]]," with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.

:Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be center-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.

:There is an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation. In addition to ''that'', both of Megatron's hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are molded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the 'outside' of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging's stock photos show the correct assembly.

:Possibly a dropped feature [[for safety reasons]], the right fist (partly a projectile tethered to the arm) is designed to launch out of his wrist via a spring-loaded firing mechanism. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was removed, though the firing trigger remains. One can either find a compatible spring or steal the spring in his left arm fusion cannon, then place it in his right forearm, though this disables his fusion cannon-retracting Automorph.
{{-}}

[[Image:Premium Movie Megs.JPG|right|300px|thumb|"Hey, I got a tan!"]]
*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
:Premium Megatron is a redeco of the previously released Leader class Megatron. The figure is now given far more movie-accurate paint applications of black, gold, & silver. Premium Megatron also features the classic transformation sound when the chest Automorph function is activated. The original "metal shriek" sound is retained when the sound button is pressed in vehicle mode.

:In the promotional photos of the toy, this version was pictured with a new vehicle mode face cover that fit the new head better. However, this retool was apparently dropped before actual production but can still be seen on the box back photography. All manufacturing errors from the first release are still present.

:Unlike some of the early "Premium Series" toys, Premium Leader Megatron was mass-released at a variety of retailers, instead of being an exclusive to any particular store.
{{-}}

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Megatron.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Just back from filming ''Predator 3'']]
*'''Fusion Blast Megatron''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles
:Fusion Blast Megatron is a simple version of Megatron with dorky-looking proportions in robot mode, and it turns into an even dorkier-looking vehicle mode. The transformation sequence manages to be even more simple and non-involved than the other ''Movie'' Megatron toys by means of an Automorph feature very similar to the early Beast Wars flipchangers. Moving his back section down causes the torso to flip up, hiding the head and positioning the arms skywards. Though the figure requires a little more repositioning and folding, most of the transformation is done with a single step.
{{-}}

[[Image:NA megatron FAB.JPG|right|200px|thumb|]]
*'''Night Attack Megatron''' (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles
:A redeco of Fast Action Battler Megatron, this time cast primarily in black plastic, with opaque grey missiles.
{{-}}

====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:Mov2007-toy RobotReplicas Megatron.JPG|right|150px|thumb|This is heavy, man!]]
*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Fusion Cannon
:As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of Megatron is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, though the elbows only turn from side-to-side, giving him extremely limited arm articulation. His forearms can be replaced with his fusion cannon accessory (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins).

*'''Megatron vs. Optimus Prime''' (Multi-pack, 2007)

: This [[Walmart]]-exclusive two-pack includes "battle-damaged" redecos of Robot Replicas Megatron and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

{{-}}

====Titanium Series====
[[Image:Movie TitaniumRM Megatron.jpg|right|130px|thumb|]]
*'''Megatron''' (3" Robot Masters, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Movie-style Decepticon sigil display stand
:''Titanium'' Megatron is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the CG model owing to the fact he doesn't need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders, neck and waist. Megatron comes with a Movie-style Decepticon symbol display stand.
{{-}}

====Attacktix====
*'''Battle Masters Megatron and Scorponok''' (Battle Master set)
[[Image:Attacktix-MovMegsScorp.jpg|right|150px|thumb|HADOOOUKEN!]]
:One of the many casualties of the shelving of Hasbro's ''[[Attacktix]]'' line was this Battle Master set featuring Megatron and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]].

===Revenge of the Fallen===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Megatron ROTF Legends toy.jpg|After enduring countless "What do I turn into" captions, Michael Bay started from scratch.|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Megatron''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-02'''

:Megatron transforms from a reasonably accurate version of his movie robot mode to a reasonably accurate version of his tank mode (with a teeny extra Megatron face in his groin, without paint details probably to avoid creepiness). He has ball-jointed shoulders and hips in robot mode, plus elbow and knee joints. His alt-mode turret is formed by merging his left and right arms, which is a neat callback to the first movie's fusion cannon, but means the turret can't rotate side to side, only pivot at the barrel.
:Several samples suffer from a disconnected lower left leg, which should be connected to the metal rod inside the upper leg. While the loose appendage cannot be repaired without extensive tooling, the upper leg is tight enough to prevent the leg from falling out during display or careful play.

:A "Battle Damaged" variant appears in the second wave of EZ Collection, featuring more elaborate, weathered paint appplications.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF_Voyager_Megatron_toy.jpg|thumb|300px|First blue, then green. Watch, in the next movie, it'll be red.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The second mainline ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Megatron toy is more slender than the larger Leader class Megatron, as it was based (more or less) on the finalized Megatron design, and as such, features a sleeker tank mode, a large lobster-claw like right arm and a normal-sized left arm. Unlike the larger toy, the Voyager's firing missile is located on the left arm, though the end is still sculpted to look like a set of fingers, and he also wears the entire top of the tank as a [[kibble]] backpack instead of having jet turbines like the Leader class toy. For some reason, he's also green (thankfully less so than the stock image pictured here).

:He features two Mech Alive gimmicks. Turning his waist also turns internal gears in his chest, while bending his right elbow makes a blade extend in and out of his claw.
{{-}}

[[Image:ROTFtoy-GatheringattheNemesis.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Pay no attention to my translucent parts!]]
*'''Gathering At Nemesis''' (Figure multipack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:This [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive three pack includes a redeco of Megatron's Voyager class toy from the first movie, as well as the Voyager class [[The Fallen]] and a redeco of Deluxe class [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]].

{{-}}

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF_Leader_Megatron.jpg|thumb|300px|Beefcake!]]
*'''Megatron''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The first and largest ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Megatron toy is based on an earlier design for Megatron that differs slightly from the final CG model. This design is more bulky and hunchbacked than the final design, has a right arm with a shoulder pad that doubles as a bladed shield, and also has a very short and gimpy left arm. Like the Voyager Class toy, he also features feet that do not look like the CGI model, which has large two-toed feet formed by the tank treads rather than flat, clawed feet that resemble those of the first movie's design. Leaving the feet retracted creates a more movie-accurate appearance when the legs are viewed from the front (when viewed from the side, Megatron's legs look like stubs).

:The figure transforms into a Cybertronian tank, though it lacks the wings seen in the film and is also less streamlined. In robot mode, Megatron's entire lower right arm is a spring-loaded missile launcher and the tank turret's armour/shroud can be mechanically repositioned to partially cover the cannon, with flip-out sword blade, as seen in the early concept design. Due to the amount of [[Gimmick|gimmickry]] involved, the right arm has no elbow.

:Pressing the Decepticon symbol-emblazoned button on his chest activates his light, [[Mech Alive]], and voice sound effects ("I am Megatron!"). The Mech Alive mechanics involve shaking his head to and fro while panels in his chest shudder. The European release (sold in the UK and non-English speaking countries) proclaims just simply "Megatron!" with laughter. After a month or two, the American release became available in the UK as well as the Canadian province of Quebec, while English Canada (which usually stocks the American release) somehow got the European version in some areas.

:Interestingly, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|while]] [[Starscream (Movie)|other]] [[Demolishor (ROTF)|figures]] in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' line suffered mold simplifications from budget cuts, Megatron got mold ''additions''. Hasbo's stock pictures depict a vastly different and much smaller shield which lacks the outer claw prongs and has different detailing, and there is no evidence that the flip-down feet had been implemented at all. These late mold changes may have been done to slightly increase the toy's accuracy to his movie depiction and, in the case of the flip-down feet, to make Megatron look like he actually has ''feet'' rather than stubs to walk on.

[[Image:ROTFtoy-MegatronLeaderShadowCommand.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The photoshopping kinda makes it hard to see how exactly he differs.]]
*'''Shadow Command Megatron''' (Leader, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Shadow Command Megatron, as the name suggests, is a mostly black redeco of Leader class Megatron, which may or may not have been inspired by a previous [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron redeco]].

====Power Bots====
[[Image:ROTF_PowerBots_Megatron.jpg|thumb|150px|Super Fighting Robot—MEGAMAN!]]
*'''Megatron''' (Power Bot, 2009)

:This large action figure is a sturdy version of Megatron for younger children. Pressing the various Decepticon symbol buttons activates battle phrases, sound effects and light-up eyes, although for the European release, almost all of the battle phrases were cut in order to avoid language barriers (except for the occasional nonsensical utterance of "Decepticon!" and "Megatron!" among a huge, long string of blasting noises). The toy's voice sounds like, and therefore may have been provided by, [[Frank Welker]].

====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:ROTF-toy_RobotReplicas_Megatron.jpg|thumb|200px|I swear his chest is someone's face. Well, [[Mudflap (ROTF)|some 'bots can sympathize with that]].]]
*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2009)

:This non-transformable Megatron action figure was ''supposed'' to be very movie-accurate, but is actually a combination of the bulkier, earlier design used for his Leader class toy and the more slender final design used for the Voyager class toy. Although his arms are normal-sized and the right arm has the "lobster claw" seen in the final design, Megatron appears hunchbacked due to the fact that he has no neck (though not to the same extent as the Leader class toy).

====Burger King====

* '''Rise of Megatron''' (Kids meal toy, 2009)

: Rise of Megatron has a pull-back motor and can "transform" between flying tank and robot modes, both of which are quite inaccurate. The tank mode lacks a cannon, while the robot mode lacks legs for purposes of the toy's own gimmick. Megatron's robot mode torso also looks quite deformed and odd compared to the CG model in the movie, with features such as a round mouth, huge arms, and symmetrical (huge) shoulders.

*'''Transformers Gummy Candy''' (2006)
:Made by the [[Frankford Candy & Chocolate Company]] at the behest of [[Hasbro|Hasbro's]] Cap Candy Company unit, this large Megatron-shaped [[Transformers Gummy Candy|gummy candy]] was available throughout 2006 to 2007. Also available was an [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]-shaped gummy candies.

===Battling Robots Bubble Bath===
*'''Megatron''' (2007)
[[Image:Megatron bubblebath.jpg|right|120px|thumb|"This is why I hate merchandising."]]
:Megatron's torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle the forces of good. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He's removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist. Like many pieces of Megatron merchandise, this "figure" uses the older head design with blue eyes. The blue eyes are also the only spot of paint on him, unlike the elaborately decoed Prime.

*'''Megatron''' Burger King free toy (2007)
:A non-transformable version of Megatron, cast primarily in gray plastic. The toy's entire "gimmick" is that both arms rotate at the shoulder. Due to the strict [[For safety reasons|protocols]] of making a fast food premium, Megatron's sharp and deadly design was forced to be smoothed out. This had the unfortunate effect of making his sculpted details meld together and looking less like a killer robot and more like a melted clay man. The toy ''appears'' to use the earlier head render of Megatron's, but due to the vague detail and paint job, may also not be.

:The toy also comes with a purple plastic Decepticon base and a lenticular motion card with a surprising amount of frames of animation. These two pieces may in fact be the better part of the package.

====Transformers Wacky Wobblers====
*'''Megatron''' (2009)

This Megatron bobblehead doll features details more accurate than any of his mainline toys, especially in the head and feet. However, his right hand, with the "lobster claw" weapon extended, is in an impossible position (compare his right arm with that of the Voyager class toy). Unlike most Wacky Wobblers bobbleheads, his arms are poseable.

: Produced by [[Basic Fun]], this keychain is a likeness of Megatron's robot mode with articulated arms, legs, head, waist, and a keyring sticking out of his ass.

===Robot Heroes===
[[Image:Robot Heroes Ratchet vs Megatron.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Adorable head crushing!]]
*'''Autobot Ratchet vs Megatron''' (2007)
:The first Robot Heroes toy of Megatron was available packed with Autobot Ratchet. Like many Robot Heroes, he is grinning from ear to ear, and in a squatty pose. Notably, his hands are simplified into three fingered claws, and his head is a cute version of the original (and replaced) design. His articulation is the standard shoulders and neck. The toy is colored much like the Leader class version of the character.

*'''The Final Battle''' (2008)
[[Image:Robotheroesfinalbattle.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Shiny!]]
:Sold exclusively in Walmart stores, this release of Megatron is a repaint of the first Robot Heroes toy. Sold with redecoed Autobot Jazz, Blackout, Optimus Prime, and Ratchet, no molding was changed on this toy. However, the figure boasts a metallic finish, making the toy a vibrant silver with painted bronze highlights for greater film accuracy.

*'''Battle Jazz vs Megatron''' (2008)
[[Image:Robotheroesjazzmegatron.jpg|right|300px|thumb|PRIIIIIIME!]]
:The second mold, sharing no parts with the first release. His right arm has transformed into the mace, and he's posed just after slamming it into the ground (with impact "explosion" molded in). The head is the "final" head design, but the toy has many outbursts of blue, either to make a more exciting deco or evoke him being "recently thawed". Sadly, he is only articulated at the neck and LEFT shoulder, denying the world adorable mace bonking. He was packaged with Jazz.

*'''Autobot Skids and Megatron''' (2009)
[[Image:RobotHeroes_SkidsMegatron.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
:Another new Megatron mold, based on his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body and colored a darker gray than the previous ones. He is sculpted with his [[fusion cannon]] deployed and has the usual shoulder articulation. This time, Megatron came in a two-pack with [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]].

[[Image:Chromia_and_megs_robot_heroes.jpg‎|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Chromia vs Megatron''' (2009)
:Part of the third wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen''-themed ''Robot Heroes'', this figurine of Megatron depicts him in mid-transformation between robot and tank modes. He has articulation at the neck, shoulders, and waist. "[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]" comes packaged with him. Humorously, his Leader Class figure can achieve this "mode".
