Hoist (G1)

2010-04-07T22:58:01Z

98.24.213.5: /* Generation 1 */ I got the Encore Hoist toy, and I spot the difference between the Encore Hoist, and the vintage Hoist in the book.

:''Hoist is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

If [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] is the Autobots' chief surgeon, then '''Hoist''' is their family doctor. Everyone reports to Hoist for routine check-ups and maintenance, no exceptions! A jovial, friendly robot, the up-beat Hoist enjoys his job and it shows. He speaks with a cultured [[Accents|British-sounding accent]] and can usually be found playing "Dr. Watson" to his friend [[Grapple]]'s troubled artist in his off-hours.

{{charstubfiction}}
Hoist and Grapple proposed the construction of an enormous [[Solar Power Tower]] to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], even showing him a darling little functioning model. Prime rejected the idea, but Grapple and Hoist persevered on it anyway. The Constructicons lent assistance to build the tower before sealing the builders within it so that the Decepticons could use it, exactly as Prime had feared. The entire situation was hardly Hoist's cup of tea. {{storylink|The Master Builders}}

During a spot of gosh and bother with some frightfully rambunctious [[Decepticon|ruffians]], Hoist and [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] were transported backwards in time to medieval England, and they hadn't the foggiest idea of how to return home or how to take a brief respite for their exhausted energy supplies. {{storylink|A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court}}

[[Image:MakeHoistHuffer.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Oh, Primus, not another traffic jam—I'm in a hurry for the audition!]]
He also drove the lorry [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] once ([[Scale|how he fit in the cab]] is perhaps a question best left unasked), and he was jolly well cross at a ghastly traffic jam. {{storylink|Make Tracks}}

{{storylink|Quest for Survival}} {{storylink|Kremzeek!}} {{storylink|Triple Takeover}} {{storylink|Prime Target}}

Following these misadventures, Hoist and some of his fellow Autobot chums were cast in a dubiously written and [[Director|directed]] [[Attack of the Alien Robots|motion picture]]. Our boy was repeatedly referred to as "Moist". Certainly not fit for viewing by Her Majesty. {{storylink|Hoist Goes Hollywood}}

Hoist was also one of the Autobots who created the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] on Cybertron. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Newyorkunderbase.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Front and center! Finally, Hoist is the favorite one!]]
Hoist was one of a group of Autobots who allowed their brainwave patterns to be encoded on crystals and stored aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' in case more warriors were needed. Despite the fact that the ''Ark'' ''did'' come under attack during that mission, these warriors were not taken out of storage until after the ''Ark'' crash-landed on Earth and spent four million years collecting dust before reawakening in 1984. However, once the Autobots got their act together, Hoist and his crystal-stored friends were reactivated and sent with [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] on a training mission. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}}

''Later, Hoist was sent to [[Alaska]] to track the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. While sneaking up on their base, he fell into an old snow-covered mineshaft, and became wedged in place, requiring rescue. But when [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] came to his aid, he was shot in the head, and Hoist had to wrangle his brain-damaged teammate to safety while being hunted by the Constructicons.'' {{storylink|The Mission}}

When an [[Underbase]]-powered [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] announced that he would "destroy the cities of [[New York City|New York]], [[Tokyo]], and [[Buenos Aires]]," Hoist was among the allied Autobot/Decepticon teams sent ahead to New York City. As Starscream approached, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]] led a team of Autobots which included Hoist, and the entire team was destroyed with a "single wave of Starscream's hand"! Oops. {{storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}}

====Marvel UK future timelines====
''Hoist was stationed at the ''Ark'' in 2003. He was present to hear [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s vision of a new, transforming [[Autobot City]]. {{storylink|Ark Duty}}''

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Nine million years ago, Hoist was allied with the Autobot cause when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] first rose to become Optimus Prime. He was briefly seen helping make the preparations to abandon Cybertron, in response to the new Prime's orders. {{storylink|The War Within}}

After the [[Great Shutdown]], Hoist was one of several Autobots [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] "helped" into a position of power as the Autobot High Council. Ostensibly, Shockwave was to rule beside the Council as the Unified Cybertronian government. In fact, however, Shockwave arranged for the council to be composed of Autobots whom he could easily manipulate, and so slowly amassed the majority of true political power for himself, leaving Hoist and his comrades as little more than figureheads. When Optimus Prime and the crew of the Ark returned to Cybertron and helped lead the various Autobot resistance cells in outright insurrection, Hoist and the rest of the High Council finally got the wake-up call, and took to the streets alongside their fellow Autobots, overthrowing Shockwave entirely. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

There were several victims of the revolution, however, including Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus. Hoist personally attended to their recuperation cycles. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} Later, he accompanied [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and the ''Ark'''s crew back to Earth, where they set up camp and prepared for the construction of Autobot City. He was last seen going over [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]'s holographic blueprints with Grapple. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

{{note|Hoist was all-but left out of Dreamwave's story. Although the War and Peace TPB confirmed that he was intended to be a member of the High Council, Hoist was apparently juuuuust off-panel throughout that entire series, making only a one-panel cameo in a flashback from issue #6. He did not actually make a modern appearance in the timeline until "Black Sunshine".}}

===Timelines===
Hoist (in his ''[[Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' body) is a member of the [[Axiom Nexus Security Administration]]. He was part of the group investigating the discovery of [[Comet]]'s body. Later, [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] called him to pick up [[Escargon]]'s body from the ''[[Widow's Cafe Cybertronian]]''. {{storylink|Withered Hope}}

===IDW comics continuity===

Hoist joined [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s troops on [[Earth]] at some point after the failed Decepticon conquest of the planet, but following Prime's surrender, he decided to get out before [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] started arresting people. [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] tried to get him to stay, but Hoist calmly explained his reasoning and apologized before driving off with [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]], [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] and [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] to join [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]'s team of defectors, who were currently attempting to get off the planet. As Hoist led his comrades in Hot Rod's general direction, the four Autobots were attacked by the human organization [[Skywatch]], who quickly took out Beachcomber. Hoist only had time to stop Tracks from opening fire on humans before he too was offlined and stuck in vehicle mode. {{storylink|A Rude Awakening}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1 Hoist toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Oh, I say old chaps, anyone in need of a lift?"]]
* '''Hoist''' (Autobot, 1985/2001/2003/2008)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''46'''
**''Accessories'': Left & right fists, left & right "Radar Panels", "Full Spectrum Multi-Sensor", 2 "Twin Blasters", 2 missiles

: A [[retool]] of 1984's [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] featuring a new head and an orange towing apparatus to replace Trailbreaker's canopy, Hoist transforms into a green Toyota Hi-Lux pickup. The truck has blue tinted windows and black and yellow caution decals running the length of the body side. In robot mode, Hoist is mostly green with chrome legs and orange trim. The toy comes equipped with two plug in fists, but Hoist is usually depicted with one hand and one weapon. The spring-launchers in his forearms were severely neutered for all US releases of the toy.

: In [[IGA|Mexico]], Hoist retained the original Trailbreaker head, but cast in green plastic. Weird.

: Hoist was re-issued in Japan in 2001 as part of some damn one-day convention deal. He was later re-re-issued in 2003 by [[Hasbro]] as part of the Toys 'R' Us [[exclusive]] [[Commemorative Series]].

: Hoist was re-issued again in Japan in 2008 as part of the [[Encore|Transformers Encore]] line. Of note, his eyes were changed to blue, and has no white outlines on the caution stripes on the sides.

===Machine Wars===
[[Image:MachineWars Hoist toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Really now, chaps. Black, this is simply too much."]]
* '''Hoist''' (Basic, 1997)
**''Accessories'': Grill/rifle

: A mold originally designed for — but never released in — ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', ''[[Machine Wars]]'' Hoist shares a mold with ''Machine Wars'' [[Hubcap (MW)|Hubcap]], transforming into a Kenworth W900 wrecker truck. He is a "flipchanger", meaning most of his transformation sequence is an [[autotransform]], springing into robot mode by lifting a catch (in his case, his towing hook). His rifle is made up of his front grill and bumper.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Tow-Line (RID)|Tow-Line]] and ''[[Robot Masters]]'' [[Wrecker Hook]].

===Universe (2003)===
[[Image:Hoist-Uni03SC1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]
* '''Hoist''' (Spy Changer, 2003)

: ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Hoist is a redeco of the ''[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Spychanger]] version of [[X-Brawn]], transforming into a Mercedes-Benz ML320 SUV. He features through-axle wheels to allow for super-fast rolling on smooth surfaces. Like the other toys in his assortment, Hoist uses factory-applied decals for a lot of his vehicle-mode deco, a rarity for toys released since the ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline.

: Originally a Kay-Bee stores exclusive, the first release of this toy (and the others in the assortment) did not have any sub-line designation at all, but later releases for other chains, most notably "budget" chains like Family Dollar, marked them as ''Universe'' product.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2004/Autobot/SpyHoist/hoist.htm More information on Spy Changer Hoist #1 at TFU.info]''

{{-}}{{anchor|Uni2}}
[[Image:RIDIronhideKB2-UniHoist2.jpg|right|250px|thumb|And yet he's still too big to fit inside Huffer.]]
*'''Hoist''' (Spy Changer, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Rifle

: This version of Hoist is identical to the last Kay-Bee [[exclusive]] redeco of ''[[Robots in Disguise (cartoon)| Robots In Disguise]]'' [[Ironhide (RID)|Ironhide]], transforming into a translucent blue Ford F150 Flareside pickup truck. Being at roughly 1:64 scale and featuring through-axle construction, he is largely compatible with "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" brand race tracks and playsets. He was available only on an individual card from discount chains like The Dollar Store.

: This mold was also used to make [[Motormouth]], the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] version of [[Generation 1]] [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Ironhide (Universe)|Ironhide]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:DiacloneHoist.jpg|thumb|250px|Maybe one of them is the real "Moist"?]]
* Like all of the other 1984~1985 Autobot "cars", the first Hoist toy was originally from the Japanese ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline as a piloted mecha. The "4WD Hi-Lux Wrecker-type" came in two different color schemes: red with black kneecaps and yellow wrecker-rig, or in blue with red kneecaps and yellow rig, which was available in a two-pack with the ''Diaclone'' toy that would become [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Crosscut]]. Yes, the green-and-orange coloration was made up specifically for ''Transformers''.

Jazz (G1)/toys

2009-10-08T02:34:53Z

98.24.213.5: /* Commemorative Series */ typo

'''[[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]]''' has appeared as many toys. All of them cool.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
====Autobot Car====
[[Image:G1 Jazz toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|At least he doesn't like music as much as Blaster.]]
* '''Jazz''' (Autobot Car, USA 1984, Japan 1985, Europe and Australia 1990)
**''Japanese Name:'' '''Meister'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-06'''
**''Accessories:'' "[[Photon rifle]]", missile launcher, 3 missiles
**''Period of activity:'' [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Cartoon]], [[The Transformers (Marvel Comics)|Marvel Comics (US)]] [[The Transformers (issue)|1]]–[[Dark Star (issue)|50]]
:Originally a pre-''Transformers'' ''Diaclone'' Porsche 935 Turbo, Jazz was part of the original assortment of Autobots released in 1984. He transforms into a Martini Racing Porsche 935 Turbo. In robot mode, he is armed with a silver "[[photon rifle]]" and a shoulder-mounted, spring-loaded rocket launcher that can fire three silver missiles.

:A slight variation of this toy, with modified stickers on the car doors that omit the regular version's "Martinii" sponsor words on the decals (note the double "i") and entirely lacking the "Martinii Porsche" decals for the windshield and rear spoiler, was available as a mail-away [[exclusive]] offer from Cookie Crisp cereal. Hasbro later also reissued Jazz in Europe and Australia in 1990 as part of the ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line. This version was identical to the 1984 version with the exception of the missing "Martinii" logos on the door decals, like on the Cookie Crips version. Unlike the Cookie Crisp version, however, the "Classic Hero" version did include the "Martinii Porsche" decals for the windshield and the rear spoiler.

:This toy was later reissued by [[TakaraTomy|Takara/TakaraTomy]] as part of the ''[[Transformers Collection]]'' (2002) and ''[[Encore]]'' (2008) lines, and by Hasbro as part of the ''[[Commemorative Series]]'' line (2003). See entries below for more details.

:This mold was also used to make (the originally Japanese-exclusive) [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Stepper]], later renamed Ricochet for Hasbro's reissue.

====Pretender====
[[Image:Pretender Jazz toy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|In a just world, Jazz's Pretender shell would look like Richard Roundtree.]]
* '''Jazz''' ([[Pretender Classic]], 1989)
**''Accessories:'' Rifle, Laser, helmet
**''Period of activity:'' [[The Transformers (Marvel Comics)|Marvel Comics (US)]] [[All the Familiar Faces!|58]]–[[Dark Creation|65]]
: [[Pretender]] Classics Jazz's inner robot is a highly simplified version of his original toy, still transforming into a Porsche 935 Turbo. His roof features a small peg to mount his robot-mode rifle in vehicle mode. He is designed to fit inside his humanoid [[Pretender]] shell, which resembles an armored human.

: The shell is simpler than the previous years' Pretender shells, lacking a belt to help hold the two halves together. It can hold both rifles, thanks to the multi-width peg on the smaller "laser".

====Legends====

* '''Jazz''' (Legend, 1989)
**''Accessories:'' Laser
**''Period of activity:'' [[The Transformers (Marvel Comics)|Marvel Comics (US)]] [[Dark Creation|65]]–end
:Available [[exclusive]]ly at American [[Kmart]] stores, the [[Legends (G1)|Legends]] version of Jazz is simply the inner robot of the Classic Pretender toy without the shell or its accessories, leaving him only a small handgun.... however, it happens to be ''[[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee's]]'' gun. (Legends Bumblebee has Pretender Jazz's gun.)

====HeroSet====

*'''Hero Set''' (Multi-pack, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' Laser

: In Japan, Legends Jazz was only available in a boxed "Hero Set" with the Legends versions of Bumblebee, [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]]. Jazz was identical to the Hasbro release.

: In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Here, Jazz was named "Folgore", originally the Italian name of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

====ActionMaster====

[[Image:Actionmaster Jazz.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Now he can shred the streets on his board.]]
* '''Jazz w/ Turbo Board''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' "Electromagnetizer Gun", Turbo Board
**''Notable appearances:'' None yet identified
: [[Action Master]] Jazz's sculpt was based upon his cartoon model, but with some of the toy details added in. As with most Action Master figures, he cannot transform, but his [[Turbo Board]] partner can transform from a skateboard into a large blaster weapon. Jazz was part of the first wave of individual Action Master figures.

: There are reportedly several minor variations of this figure, all regarding the color of his headlights. Some have them unpainted, while others are light blue or greenish-blue.

===Generation 2===
====Large Autobot Car====
[[Image:G2 Jazz.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
*'''Jazz''' (Autobot Car, 1993)
**''Accessories:'' "Photon Rifle", missile launcher, 2 missiles
**''Period of activity:'' [[Generation 2 (Marvel Comics)|Generation 2]]
:''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Jazz is a slight [[retool]] and (literal) [[repaint]] of the original toy. The chrome feet have been narrowed, omitting two tabs. His face (apparently degraded from [[mold]] usage) now has a strange unintentional smirk. His roof has been retooled with a small hole to accommodate his new bright green, spring-loaded missile launcher. All of his "Martinii" stickers have been replaced with various new stickers depicting his name and the number "1" laid over a rainbow-colored musical note.

:This mold became the basis for future reissues of Jazz, complete with his smirk.

: The missile launcher was not created for the ''Generation 2'' line, but came from the [http://www.yojoe.com/action/91/snowserpent2.shtml Snow Serpent] from the ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' toyline. The same launcher was used in the ''Generation 2'' re-releases of [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]].

====Laser Cycle====

*'''Jazz''' (Laser Cycle, 1995)
[[Image:LaserCycleJazz.jpg|thumb|]]

: A [[redeco]] of the [[Laser Cycle]] [[Road Rocket (G2)|Road Rocket]] was planned as Jazz, but like many other planned late-1995 ''Generation 2'' redecos, ultimately never saw release. Interestingly, many of these — including Jazz and fellow Laser Cycle redeco [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] — ''were'' solicited in various store catalogues, such as the Sears Wish Book. Some packaged samples of this toy do exist, but there are estimated to be less than a dozen in existence. Jazz would have transformed from a white, yellow and green Yamaha GTS1000 motorcycle, with an LED-lit arm-mounted buzzsaw that formed part of his rear wheel assembly in cycle mode.

: This mold was later [[Retool|retooled]] to make ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Sideways]] and ''[[Robot Masters]]'' Road Rocket.

{{canceledtoy}}

{{-}}

===Transformers Collection===
* '''Meister''' (Transformers Collection, Japan 2002)
**''ID number:'' '''TFC-01''' (or simply '''01''')
**''Accessories:'' "[[Photon rifle]]", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: A Japanese-only reissue of the original 1984/1985 toy in standard ''Transformers Collection'' bookbox-style packaging. The feet are the narrower ''Generation 2'' version. The face has further detoriated from Hasbro's ''Generation 2'' use of the mold, now displaying a very ugly smirk. Due to another problem with the [[mold]]s, the roof and rear windows don't align properly.

: Other changes affect the sticker set, which replace the original toy's "Martinii" and "Martinii Porsche" sponsor decals with "Meister" and "Agent Meister", respectively, his Japanese name and function.

: A second production run replaced the original toolings for the weapons with the modified weapons from Hasbro's ''Commemorative Series'' reissue (see below).

====Collectors' Edition====
[[Image:Ehobby Meister.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Bling bling~!!!]]
* '''Meister''' (e-Hobby exclusive, 2002)
**''Accessories:'' "Photon Rifle", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: An [[e-Hobby]] [[exclusive]], sold with the "anime version" of [[Bluestreak]], this version of reissue Meister (Jazz) is almost entirely constructed of vacuum-metalized gold plastic. Fingerprints and chipping, ahoy!

: Though this redeco resembles Jazz's [[electrum]]-covered appearance in the episode "[[The Golden Lagoon]]", it is actually a recreation of an old ''[[Diaclone]]'' campaign prize.
{{-}}

===Commemorative Series===
* '''Autobot Jazz''' (Commemorative Series III, 2003)
**''Accessories:'' "[[Photon rifle]]", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: Hasbro's own reissue of the 1984 Jazz as part of the ''[[Commemorative Series]]'', now named "Autobot Jazz" for [[trademark]] reasons, is based on Takara's ''Transformers Collection'' version, retaining the ugly smirk and the "Agent Meister" stickers. The alignment problem with the roof and the rear windows has been fixed.

: The weapons have been heavily [[retool|retooled]] [[for safety reasons]]: The chrome finish is missing, the missiles have been elongated and can only be inserted one way, the nub on the back of the launcher has also been elongated, the launcher barrel can come off the mount, and the trigger has been altered as well.

===Universe (2003)===
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Spy Changer, 2004-2005)
**''Accessories:'' Gun

:[[Spy Changer]] Jazz is a redeco of ''[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Spy Changer [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]]. He transforms into a 1:64-scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Dodge Viper]] with Jazz's classic white Martini Racing colour scheme and livery. Like all [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] molds, he features high-speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly. His small gun is stored between his legs, acting as a tailpipe in vehicle mode.

:This toy was originally exclusively available at [[KB Toys]] stores in 2004, in generic ''Transformers'' packaging with no additional sub-line header. The same toy was later re-released in ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' packaging in 2005, now availabe from discount chains such as Dollar General and Family Dollar.

{{-}}

[[Image:WSTF Meister.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Tiny Jazz]]

===Smallest Transforming Transformers===
* '''Meister''' (2004)

:''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Jazz is a tiny replica of the original Jazz toy. His wheels do not roll, and he has a simplified transformation scheme with considerably more restricted articulation.

{{-}}

===Alternators/Binaltech===
[[Image:Alternators Meister.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Zoom zoom zoom!]]
*'''Meister''' Mazda RX-8 (Alternator, 2004/2006)
**''Alternators ID number:'' '''7'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Muffler-blaster

:''[[Alternators]]'' Meister transforms into a highly accurate 1:24 scale white Mazda RX-8. He features an opening hood with engine, opening "suicide" doors and trunk with a realistic interior. In robot mode, he is sculpted to resemble both the original G1 Jazz toy and the G1 cartoon model. He is armed with a rifle that transforms from his muffler.

: Other than being partially constructed of [[die-cast]] metal, the ''Binaltech'' version of this mold differs from the ''Alternators'' version by paint covering all the car body parts and having a magnet assembly for the shoulders joining the front wheel axle (instead of a plastic insertion point). Furthermore, the ''Binaltech'' version's steering wheel is placed on the right side of the dashboard, whereas it's located on the left side on the ''Alternators'' version.

: ''Binaltech'' Meister also had a color [[variant]], officially named ''Meister Velocity Red Mica Edition'', that replaced all the regular version's white parts, both plastic and metal, with red. The panels on the upper hips that are painted teal on the "white" version are painted silver on the "red" variant. Velocity Red Meister was repurposed as [[Zoom-Zoom]] by the official ''Binaltech'' fiction.

: This toy was also retooled into a Mazdaspeed RX-8 as [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockblast/Laserwave]], the [[Autrooper]] and later as Argent Meister.

*'''Argent Meister''' (Binaltech, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Muffler-blaster

: This version of Meister utilizes the "Mazdaspeed Version II" remolded RX-8 body introduced with [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockblast/Laserwave]], but using the original Meister head and a traditional left arm. It is touted as a "Movie Version", somewhat resembling the look of the [[Transformers (2007)|live-action movie]] [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], due to its silver paint job. The name is a pun on his Japanese function, "Agent Meister", and the Latin-derived word "argent" for "silver".

{{-}}

===Titanium Series===
[[Image:Titanium RM Jazz.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Won't you take me to Funkytown?]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Robot Masters, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Muffler-blaster, Autobot display stand

:Titanium Jazz is a small, 3" non-transformable die-cast metal figurine based upon his ''Alternators'' design, but with a little bit of his "traditional" deco thrown into the mix. He has articulation in his waist, shoulders and head.

{{-}}
===Attacktix===
*'''Autobot Jazz'''

{{canceledtoy}}
===Encore===
* '''Meister''' (Encore, Japan 2008)
**''ID number:'' '''08'''
**''Accessories:'' "[[Photon rifle]]", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: Another Takara reissue of the original 1984/1985 Jazz/Meister toy, following the success of the [[Transformers (2007)|2007 Movie]].

: For the most part, the tooling is identical to the second production run of the 2002 ''Transformers Collection'' release, with the modified weapon from Hasbro's ''Commemorative Series'' release. The face uses the fixed mouth originally made for the ''Transformers Collection''/''Commemorative Series'' [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Stepper/Ricochet]] reissue from 2004. The feet are still the narrowed ''Generation 2'' version.

: Other changes unique to this version include the replacement of many stickers (such as the Autobot [[insignia]] on the hood/chest and the "Meister" decals on the doors) with tampographed versions, and a [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] painted blue visor.

===Universe (2008)===
====Classic Series====
[[Image:Universe2008 LegendsG1Jazz.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Slightly less tiny Jazz.]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends Class, 2008)

:Legends class ''Universe'' Jazz, like the Legends class ''Universe'' [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], emulates Jazz's original toy rather than a modern vehicle reimagination. Due to the budgetry limitation of Legends class toys, he features an altered transformation sequence and a limited number of [[paint operation]]s, which leave several car windows unpainted.

{{-}}

==Merchandise==
===Decoy===
*'''Jazz''' (1986)

: Coming packaged at random on carded ''Transformers'' toys during 1986, [[Decoy]] Jazz is a red soft-rubber figure depicting his robot mode.

===Heroes of Cybertron===
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Heroes of Cybertron, 2003)

:The Hasbro version of the SCF Meister figure in the ''[[Super Collection Figure|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' was cast in blue plastic which was then almost completely painted, leaving the eyes and the back of the head unpainted to take advantage of a [[light-piping]] gimmick. Jazz was released in Wave 4 of the line, and came with a part to build [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]].

[[Image:MightyMuggs_Jazz.jpg|right|thumb|175px]]
*'''Jazz''' (2009)
**''Accessories:'' Photon rifle, doors

: Part of the third wave of [[Mighty Muggs]], Jazz is a [[super deformed]], non-transformable PVC figure with articulated arms and head.

Jazz comes with a super-deformed photon rifle and a pair of car doors that attach to his back.

: Jazz and his wavemate [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] were initially reported to be canceled, but Hasbro assured their release during San Diego Comic-Con 2009.

Megatron (G1)/toys

2009-04-19T21:07:37Z

98.24.213.5: /* Henkei! Henkei! */

Many toys have been made of '''[[Generation 1]] [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'''. So many, they have to get their own page!

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1Megatron toy.jpg|right|350px|thumb|This photo needs an orange cap or someone might shoot the wiki.]]
[[Image:G1 Megatron toy weapons.JPG|right|350px|thumb|Particle Beam Cannon and Telescopic Laser Cannon.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Decepticon Leader, 1984/1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''16'''
**''Accessories (Hasbro release)'': Silencer, stock, telescopic sight/fusion cannon, "high-density infrared laser cannon"
**''Accessories (Takara release)'': Sword, "high-density infrared laser cannon"

: Originally a ''[[Microman]]'' "MC13 Gun Robo - P38 U.N.C.L.E.", Megatron was released in 1984 as part of the first year of the ''Transformers'' line in the United States. He transforms into a Walther P-38 pistol, as seen in the popular 1960s spy television series ''The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'' (hence the ''Microman'' name), with attachments to make the "U.N.C.L.E carbine" (scope, barrel extension / silencer and stock)<ref>https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/cia-museum/spy-fi-archives/item08.html</ref>. These attachments can be reconfigured in Megatron's robot mode to form either a Particle Beam Cannon or a Telescopic Laser Cannon.

: Like all toys originally offered in 1984, Megatron was given a factory-applied [[rubsign]] for his 1985 release.

: In 1986, Megatron was made available as a mail-away item (since he was theoretically no longer shipping to retail shelves) in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" flier packed in with boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $21.50 and five [[robot points]].

: While the [[Hasbro]] release was chrome and red, the original [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] release was flat gray and blue, replicating one of the original pre-''Transformers [[Microman]]'' decos for the standard P-38. He lacked any of his pistol-mode extensions (including his "signature" arm cannon and the attachment point for it!), but came with the silver-chromed handgun and a silver-chromed sword. His original plastic bullet firing mechanism was also kept intact. His box-art is an entirely different illustration than the Hasbro version, showing this toy's accessories... yet still shows the red plastics. This version of the toy was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] by [[e-Hobby]] as [[Megaplex]].

:In 2001, Megatron was reissued in Japan. This version uses the original Hasbro release's colors and all of its accessories, but adds the sword and a restored bullet-firing mechanism (plus, of course, the plastic bullets to make use of said mechanism).

:Megatron was again reissued in 2002 in Takara's "[[Transformers Collection]]" series, akak the "bookbox" series. This release was identical to the previous reissue, but also included the energon mace used in the episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]", a sheet of Decepticon stickers, and a Decepticon mouse pad.

:The toy was reissued ''yet again'' in 2007 as part of the "[[Transformers Encore]]" line, this time featuring a tan finish to his chrome rather than the normal colorless-silver finish.

{{-}}{{anchor|VSX}}
*'''Convoy VS Megatron''' (Multi-pack, 1985)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''VS-X'''
**''Accessories (Takara release)'': Sword, "high-density infrared laser cannon"

: In Japan, Megatron was also made available in a special two-pack with [[Optimus Prime (G1) toys|Optimus Prime]]. Both toys were identical to their individual releases... in Megatron's case, that means unchromed gray plastic, blue instead of red, and different accessories. This box also uses an altered version of the individual release's box-art, turning his head sideways to face Convoy, as opposed to the original's camera-facing head position.

{{-}}{{anchor|GoodBye}}
*'''Good Bye Megatron''' (Multi-pack, 1986)
**''Accessories'': Targeting sight/fusion cannon

: Megatron was released again as part of a special "Good Bye" set to commemorate his passing in the [[The Transformers: The Movie|cartoon fiction]], packaged with [[Starscream (G1) toys|Starscream]] (who also was now no more). This version of Megatron replaced the original's blue plastics with the Hasbro red, plus gave him his scope/cannon and attached the mounting point on his arm.

: Despite the change to the toy's colors, the box art on this set, the same art used for the [[Hasbro]] releases, was recolored to match the blue of the ''previous'' releases. Whoops.

*'''Neutro-Fusion Tank with Megatron''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories'': Neutro-Fusion Tank, 4 missiles, "twin laser cannon"

: Megatron returned as an ''[[Action Master]]'' in 1990, and as with most ''Action Master'' figures, he could not transform. His sculpt was based heavily upon the Megatron's animation model design. Megatron is compatible with all other Action Master accessories and vehicles.

: He came packaged with the [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]], a large tank vehicle whose hull could transform into a base/gun emplacement, with the turret forming a flight pod.

{{-}}{{anchor|BlackG1}}
*'''Black Megatron''' (2001)
**''Accessories'': Silencer, stock, telescopic sight/fusion cannon, "high-density infrared laser cannon", sword, 20 bullets
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''16-S'''

: Initially available for order at [[BotCon Japan 2000]], this redeco of the 2000 reissue Megatron replaces his bright silver chrome with a darker gunmetal chrome, the gray with black, and the black gun-grips, robot fists and "inner helmet" with brown plastic.
: E-Hobby reissued Black Megatron in February, 2009. This release includes a mini-comic featuring the character.

[[Image:TFC09ScreamerHoldingMegs.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Sometimes I just... want to be held.]]
* '''Starscream''' (Transformers Collection, 2002)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TFC-09'''

: The "[[Transformers Collection]]" [[reissue]] of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] includes an original accessory, a Generation-1-[[Scale|scaled]] representation of Megatron in his Walther P-38 altmode. Needless to say, he doesn't transform, but he is designed to be capable of being "held" by Starscream... in both modes!

: Megatron's handle splits apart to reveal a peg, which can be inserted into a secondary specialized right hand included with Starscream especially for this purpose. While the gun's peg slots into the hand, the hand itself features an additional peg that slots into the corresponding hole in the other half of the gun. He can also attach to Starscream's jet mode; the right-hand side of Megs' handle features a square peg which is designed to fit snugly in gaps in Stasrcream's pectorals, as in [[S.O.S. Dinobots|that one episode where he does just that]]. Unfortunately, this peg has, for no fathomable reason, been cast in the same sky blue color as Screamer's hands, unnecessarily making it ''as obtrusive as humanly possible''.
{{-}}
===Generation 2===
[[Image:G2Megatron toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|G2 Megatron is always ready for tank combat in one of Earth's many green and purple jungles.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Decepticon, 1992)
**''Accessories'': Rifle, 6 missiles, sight

: Owing to the inability of Hasbro to re-release the original Megatron because that toy was a pistol, ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Megatron was released in 1992 as a large green M1A1 Abrams main battle tank. His main gimmick was a 'lock and load' cannon that can load most of his projectile ammunition, and then fire them one at a time. This was accompanied by electronic sounds (including engine, laser and cannon sound effects) and [http://www.supload.com/sound_confirm.php?get=894768596.wav a voice chip].

: In robot mode, Megatron is by the standards of the time, a very large robot, towering over all ''Generation 2'' incarnations of Optimus Prime. His legs were immobile, but he had upper shoulder rotation and elbow joints. His left arm, when raised, activates a laser sound. Pressing down on his head activates his battlecry '''"Megatron Attack!"'''. His main cannon still functions in this mode.

: This mold was slightly redecoed (with new stickers) as [[Megastorm]].

{{-}}{{anchor|Hero}}
[[Image:G2 CombatHero Megatron toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|By this point, the purple had almost completely taken over his body.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Hero, 1995)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TRF-2'''
**''Accessories'': Rifle, 2 air-launch missiles

:Megatron was released again the following year as "Hero" Megatron: a smaller, but similarly styled tank based off the M1 Abrams. This Megatron was purple and came with a bellows that fired an air-propelled missile. Each rifle could store thanks to clips on his turret, which become his robot mode arms... conveniently kinda simulating the "classic" Megatron arm cannon to boot.

: Hero Megatron was designed with articulation in mind, so he was loaded with multiple swivel and universal joints, giving him far greater movement compared to his original ''Generation 2'' toy.

: This toy was released in Europe, albeit with a "MEGATRON RULES"-free blank chest sticker, as [[Archforce]]. It was also [[Redeco|redecoed]] into ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Bludgeon (RID)|Bludgeon]] in 2003 (which has since been [[Repurposing|repurposed]] to become "[[Shattered Glass]]" [[Bludgeon (Shattered Glass)|Bludgeon]]).
{{-}}{{anchor|Go-Bot}}
[[Image:Megatron-G2GoBot.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He'd be a better shot if he could only see over his hood-chest.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Go-Bot, 1995)
**''Accessories'': Rifle

: Part of the second assortment of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]], this version of Megatron is a mild [[redeco]] of the Autobot [[Blowout]], transforming into a 1:64-scale Porsche 959 sports car with through-axle construction. This not only makes him roll exceptionally fast in car mode, but also makes him largely compatible with playsets from the "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" toy-car lines. Megatron and Blowout share the same blue and black inner robot colors, but Megatron uses opaque silver plastic with a shiny metallic silver paint overcoat, as opposed to Blowout's smoky-clear plastic. (All of the toys from the first wave that had transparent plastics were released in this wave with opaques instead; Blowout and [[Firecracker]] became new versions of Megatron and [[Optimus Prime (G1) toys|Optimus Prime]] respectively, while [[Gearhead]] and [[Motormouth]] stayed themselves.)

: In Japan, his hood was tampographed with a stylized "T" with the ''Transformers'' logo set within the top bar, the same deco that appears on Go-Bots [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and the Japanese release of Go-Bots Optimus Prime.

:This mold was also used to make Go-Bots [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Hot Shot (RID)|Hot Shot]].

{{-}}{{anchor|CombatHero}}
[[Image:CombatHeroMegatron.jpg|right|200px|thumb|I AM POWERED BY UNOBTAINIUM!]]
*'''Megatron''' (Combat Hero, unreleased)
**''Accessories'': rifle, 2 air-launch missiles

: This kinda-sorta "arctic"-camo version of the [[#Hero|Hero Megatron]] toy was solicited to numerous retailers, and is one of a great many ''Generation 2'' toys to never see the light of day. Precious few samples of this toy exist.

: At [[BotCon 1996]], a donated Combat Hero Megatron was one of the items in the charity auction, along with several other canceled ''Generation 2'' toys.

{{canceledtoy}}
{{-}}{{anchor|ATB}}
*'''Megatron with Starscream''' (Decepticon, unreleased)
**''Accessories'': 12 missiles, 2 missiles launchers

: A planned-but-canceled redeco of ''Generation 2'' [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]], Megatron would have transformed into a "flying wing" Advanced Tactical Bomber (when combined with his smaller "partner" [[Starscream (G1) toys|Starscream]]) with an under-slung six-missile gatling cannon. Each wing can store three mose missiles, which can "carpet-bomb" targets below by pressing the pressure-launch buttons above each. He can also transform into a treaded "tank" mode, activated by removing Starscream from the jet mode and activating a spring-loaded [[autotransform]] mechanism in his wings.

: This toy's deco was used to make ''[[Beast Wars II (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'''s [[BB]] and [[Starscream (BWII)|Starscream]] out of the same mold-set. This mold was also used to make ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Dreadwind (RID)|Dreadwind]] and ''[[Robot Masters]]'' [[Gigant Bomb]].

===Machine Wars===
[[Image:MWMegatron toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|And that's why Thundercracker turned green.]]
* '''Megatron''' (Basic, 1997)
**''Accessories'': 2-part rifle

: Sharing a mold with his concurrently-released ally [[Megaplex]] (which had been a canceled mold developed for ''Generation 2''), ''[[Machine Wars]]'' Megatron transforms from a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet]] to robot mode with a spring-loaded one-step transformation. The two halves of his rifle store in the back of his robot-mode legs.

: Oddly, the ''Machine Wars'' stock photos (and even the boxart) portray Megatron as the gray F-22 jet and Megaplex as the blue one, the ''opposite'' of the actual toys. This means that either the package designers made the mistake, or the toys were packaged on the wrong cards. The latter is more likely, since gray is more associated with Megatron than blue. Like most other toys in the line, the boxart was recycled from an earlier figure, in this case from the [[Predator]] [[Falcon (Predator)|Falcon]].

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Beast Wars II (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'' [[Thrust (BWII)|Thrust]], ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Wind Sheer (RID)|Wind Sheer]], and ''[[Robot Masters]]'' [[Air Hunter]].

[[Image:STFMegatron toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Not 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime's gun.]]
*'''Megatron''' (2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF 07'''

: ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Megatron was released in 2004, including only his fusion cannon. Its other attachments were planned for release, but were scrapped as the line was eventually canceled. He is a barely-simplified version of his original toy, possessing the same transformation scheme and retaining most of his articulation.

: A VS-X homage set was also released the same year, packed with a ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' Optimus Prime figure. Both toys are identical to their individual releases.

===Robot Masters===
[[Image:RMReverseConvoy toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|My Convoy counterpart is nearby. Real nearby.]]
* '''Reverse Convoy / Rebirth Megatron''' (Deluxe, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-24'''
**''Accessories'': Missile, hand-held missile launcher

: A [[retool]] of the ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[#Hero|Hero Megatron]], ''[[Robot Masters]]'' "[[Reverse Convoy]]" features an all-new cannon, a new Convoy head (where Megatron's head used to be), and a new Megatron head that flips out from behind the cannon. The cannon fires a [[missile]] when the barrel is pulled back. The back of the cannon also detaches and can form a hand-held weapon, featuring twin barrels and a rack of six (non-removable) missiles.

: The original version of this mold was use to make [[Archforce]] and ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Bludgeon (RID)|Bludgeon]] (which has been [[Repurposing|repurposed]] to also be "[[Shattered Glass]]" [[Bludgeon (Shattered Glass)|Bludgeon]]).

===Titanium Series===
[[Image:TitaniumGIJoeHeroesMegatron toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|THE BOX OF DOOM.]]
*'''Megatron''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Stand with nameplate

:Part of the very first wave of six-inch ''[[Titanium Series]]'' toys, Megatron was inspired by [[Dreamwave Productions]]' first ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' crossover, set in an alternate reality World War II. Since that Megatron's gun form was nonviable as a toy, a tank alternate mode (of undetermined, probably-entirely-made-up model) was designed. The backstory of the Megatron from the crossover, including references to Cobra, was retained on the package, make it the first U.S. figure ever produced as part of a ''G.I. Joe / Transformers'' crossover.

:Although the figure looks somewhat impressive, it notably has the tendency to fall apart during transformation and was relatively difficult to pose in robot mode without it falling over.

{{-}}{{anchor|TiWarWithin}}
[[Image:Megatrontitaniumtww.jpg|right|300px|thumb|THE... NAP OF DOOM?]]
*'''War Within Megatron''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Arm cannon, shield, stand with nameplate

:A new ''Titanium Series'' Megatron based on his [[The War Within|''War Within'']] design was initially shown at [[BotCon 2006]], and was released in spring of 2007. Like the original comic book design, his robot mode has a removable arm cannon and shield, but unlike the original comic book design, his robot mode transforms into his alternate mode at a different angle.

:As opposed to the earlier toy, this one has a more posable robot mode, but somewhat unimpressive alternate mode, being little more than lying the toy on its back and attaching the gun/shield. There is a small clip on the back of the toy which designer [[Don Figueroa]] said was to hold his sword, seen in the comic book, but that accessory was ultimately not produced.

{{-}}{{anchor|WarWithin2pack}}

*'''War Within Optimus Prime / War Within Megatron''' (2-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Arm cannon, shield, stand with nameplate

:This Toys "R" Us [[exclusive]] two-pack features [[Optimus Prime (G1) toys|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron as they appeared in the ''War Within'' comic series. Though the Megatron in this set is identical to its individual release, Optimus loses the paint wash, making him much cleaner-looking.

: The set also came with [[The War Within issue 5|the fifth issue of the ''War Within'' comic book]], featuring a variant cover exclusive to this release.

===Classics (2006)===
[[Image:Megatronclassicstoy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Paint me black and give me to a kid, ASAP.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Voyager, 2006)

:''Classics'' Megatron is a "fusion blaster" based loosely on the original Megatron toy and appears to transform into a [[:Image:N-strike maverick.jpg|Nerf N-Strike Maverick blaster]] to comply with modern US toy gun regulations (an orange cap on a Walther P-38 won't cover it). Its scope/arm cannon houses a working crosshairs and its trigger includes clicking action. In order to pass modern safety regulations (both the government's and Hasbro's), its blaster mode includes lots of purple and green, plus bright orange on both the tip of the "barrel" and the scope.

:Although some official Hasbro photographs, including those appearing on the toy's packaging, show the gun mode's trigger and other small parts as being orange, those parts were gray in later stock photography and the final release.

:In these above-mentioned early promotional photographs, Megatron also had noticeably different "eyebrow" paint applications that matched those of the original Megatron toy. These were two small black triangles on a gray plastic forehead. The final release has the placement of the black reversed, with two small gray triangles and a black forehead, sometimes referred to as Megatron's "unibrow" by fans.

:It has been recently discovered that the orange parts on Megatron, particularly the more exposed ones, seem to have their colors fade out over time. The exact cause of this change has not yet been discovered but care should be taken to avoid this from happening.

:Curiously enough, the UK version of the packaging reads "Scope becomes canon!".

:''Classics'' Megatron was redecoed in Japan as part of the ''[[Henkei! Henkei! (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]] Transformers'' line by [[TakaraTomy]].

{{-}}{{anchor|Ultimate.2BBattle}}

[[Image:MegatronUltimateBattle.jpg|right|300px|thumb|His arm can be either a cannon or a... ski? A spinning ski!]]
*'''Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle''' (Deluxe versus set, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Rifle

: The Megatron included in this two-pack is a tank inspired by the first Megatron toy from ''Generation 2''. Instead of a right hand, its arm ends in a blade with "spinning dervish action." He is packaged with Optimus Prime and a "[[The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD. Later releases of this toy in some European countries had him individually packed but otherwise unchanged from the original release.

:Many (all?) units of this figure have Megatron's splayed feet [[Misassembly|assembled backwards]], a fact which is not immediately apparent as the "heel" half of his feet are actually larger than the "toe" half (this is the opposite of most splay-footed transformers), and the situation is not helped by the promotional (exhibit A, to your right) and box-art photography displaying an identically misassembled figure. However, examination of the instructions and any attempt to transform Megatron into tank mode immediately demonstrate the mistake, which is easily corrected by unscrewing the halves of his lower legs and reversing the foot pieces.

:In 2008, the Optimus Prime vs Megatron set, sans DVD, has been reissued to outlets like Kay Bee in new [[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]] packaging. The feet are still misassembled.

===Masterpiece===
* '''20th Anniversary Optimus Prime/Masterpiece Convoy''' (2003/2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1'''

[[Image:GunmodeMegsMasterpieceConvoy.jpg|left|230px|thumb|Bang bang! He shot me down! Bang bang! I hit the ground...]]
: The Masterpiece Prime/Convoy included an accessory of Megatron in his classic Walther P-38 altmode. Although non-transforming, it is quite detailed and includes the individually removable silencer / barrel extension, scope, and (hinged) stock.
: Although notionally [[Scale|scaled]] to be wielded by Masterpiece Prime, the handle is marginally too short and thus has a sliding joint diagonally across the butt of the gun, thus slightly lengthening and narrowing the grip so that Prime can actually hold it. The reason for this odd design concept is unknown.
: Needless to say, the later-released Masterpiece [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] (and [[Skywarp (G1)|his]] [[Thundercracker (G1)|redecoes]]) can also hold this version of Megatron, and far more appropriately too!
: The stock extension connecting clamp is prone to breakage to the chargin of owners who keep theirs sealed and untouched.

*'''Megatron''' (2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-5'''

[[Image:MasterpieceMegsBox.jpg|right|180px|thumb|You will pay dearly for this. Literally and metaphorically...]]
: Scaled to the same height as 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime/Masterpiece Convoy, Masterpiece Megatron is designed to make a figure closely resembling Megatron's fairly non-[[Show-accuracy|toy-accurate]] original animation model actually able to transform into a realistic (if oversized) Walther P-38 altmode. Something which, on paper, should be impossible. This results in an ''incredibly'' complex transformation, likely making it one of the most elaborate ''Transformers'' toys to date, even including the unusually complicated automorphing Movie toys.

[[Image:MasterpieceMegsBigAssCannon.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Dude, I don't even need to fire this thing. I could, like, totally just bash you to death with it...]]
: Similar to Masterpiece Starscream, Megatron contains virtually zero die-cast, the only metal components being his feet and some structural rods (and not even as many as you'd expect). Combined with the fact that most of his parts are very thin in order to accommodate the intricacy of the transformation, this results in a comparatively light toy for its size.

: Megatron has the least articulation of the Masterpiece line, lacking the ability to pivot out at the shoulder by more than a small angle, and his head cannot look upwards. The figure is completely incapable of rotating its arms sideways at the elbows. Also, due to the fact that the fusion cannon is very large (being [[Scale|scaled]] for a realistic gun mode sight), it butts into the gun mode barrel behind his right shoulder whenever his arm is raised at any angle other than straight ahead.

: Accessories include Megatron's purple energy flail from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]", the light saber (referred to by Takara as an "energy dagger" for obvious legal reasons) used in his duel against Prime in "[[The Transformers: The Movie]]", as well as the discarded laser pistol with which he subsequently kills him. Also included is a tiny translucent [[Kremzeek]] figure. His fusion cannon also contains a powerful red LED which casts a short-range spotlight when a button is pressed.

[[Image:HLJplug.jpg|right|180px|thumb|If you transformed into a gun, wouldn't plugging your barrel be the equivalent of a vasectomy?]]
: Due to updated realistic toy gun laws, a debate arose surrounding the Masterpiece Megatron toy. Many fans thought the toy would prove difficult to import into the United States. These fears led some online importers to modify the toys to comply with customs laws. Although initially believed that this would involve permanently painting both the sight and barrel tips blaze orange or gluing on a large plug, final versions have been comparatively discreet. Manufactured by the individual importers, some retailers have elected to attach a rounded red plug into the barrel with "adhesive" (permanent?), while others have used a flat-tipped yellow plug that was apparently only temporarily secured with double-sided tape. Still other retailers chose not to modify the toys at all.

: Additionally, Australians have also had to deal with strict gun and gun replica laws. While some collectors have managed to receive their Megatrons without incident, Australian Customs and the Federal Police have seized mass shipments and individual packages of the toy sent by certain online retailers, as they now classify ''Masterpiece'' Megatron as a gun replica. It is possible to collect a seized Megatron from customs if you live in New South Wales, but it requires a special permit issued by the government. To get this permit, you must go through a lengthy process to prove that you are elligible to own the figure and that you won't misuse it. The only exception is South Australia, where it is perfectly legal to own MP-5, but you must get it from within the country...which seems stupid when you think how hard it is to get him into the country in the first place.
: After much discussion with the Queensland Police and Customs, one collector was able to verify that, under Queensland law, it was classified as a "restricted" import. Further inquiries showed that importation was allowed if the importer held a B709A license to import replicas, and that whilst a license was required to import, there are (currently) no laws governing registering the item or providing secure "gun cabinet" storage. Obtaining this license involved mailing off an application plus photographs of the item, along with a statutory declaration stating that if the item was ever sold or disposed of that the collector would inform the police for tracking purposes. The issued license permitted importation of 1 figure only and was valid for 3 months. Customs allowed the import without incident.

: Given the relatively thin clips throughout the toy to hold it tightly together in gun mode, Megatron's plastic components are particularly prone to breakage, especially on the clips on the upper black grip plates and some of the silver sections near the trigger. Some owners of this figure have also reported rust and tarnish problems for this figure. Seibertron.com is hosting a guide<ref>[http://seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?t=16106 MP-05 Megatron's Cosmic Rust, aka Tarnish problem (with pics) solutions inside]</ref> to combat the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] problem.

===Revoltech===
*'''Megatron''' (2007)
**''Yamaguchi Series number:'' '''025'''
**''Accessories:'' Alternate head, 3 alternate hands (left & right open palms, right gun-holding hand)

[[Image:Revoltech Megatron.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Action Masters? Eat your Spark out!]]
:A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated Megatron action figure(ine), ''[[Revoltech]]'' Megatron uses the ''Revoltech'' "revolver joints" (appropriate, if you think about it...) for maximum poseability. Megs includes a non-removable fusion cannon and a few alternate hands, as well as an alternate head with its mouth open in either a smirk, growl or sneer, depending on how you read it. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Megatron.

:This figure uses specialized gray revolver joints in order to better blend with the surrounding sculpted parts.
{{-}}
*'''Starscream''' (2008)
**''Yamaguchi Series number:'' '''046'''

:The [[Starscream (G1) toys|''Revoltech'' Starscream]] toy included a Megatron accessory in his Walther P-38 altmode. While the silencer and scope are molded on, the stock can be removed in order to allow him to be wielded. He can be held by any ''Revoltech'' toy with a standardized gun-wielding hand, including Megatron himself.

:Based on his G1 cartoon appearance, this Megatron toy is a killer. He was available only in the Series 2 Starter Set along with ''[[Generation 1]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Landquake (Energon)|Landquake]] and ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]].

:Megatron has an incredibly powerful translucent missile (don't fire it at at children or small dogs if you value their lives) and a ''Recover'' special power that allows the figure to stand back up if there's another Decepticon in play. Two Megatrons are a dangerous combination, feeding each other's recover powers and making them very hard to kill off. Plus you can pretend one of them is [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]].

:As an added bonus, because of the way it is worded, you can use the ''Cybertron'' [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] vehicle mode figure's ''Transform'' power to bring Megatron into play from your back-ups.
{{-}}

===Sport Label===
*'''Megatron Nike Free 7.0'''

:Seeking to exploit the tremendous energy potential of sweatshops, Megatron has taken on this new altmode to cement his alliance with Nike inc., since [[Cobra]] evidently wasn't enough of an Evil Empire for him...

[[Image:Nikeatron.jpg|right|220px|thumb|Some idiots thought I was going to be life-sized! Fools! Foooools!!!]]
:This rather unusual product line, thus far comprising only three entries, entirely utilizes the same body mold with different heads, making this the first time Optimus and Megatron have had identical bodies.

:Something of a [[shellformer]], Nikeatron is colored primarily black and gray in his altmode of a realistic-looking, scaled-down Nike sneaker, complete with (gratuitously long) real fabric shoelaces. In robot mode, he incorporates a little additional red in predictable areas and has a somewhat uniquely-shaped yet instantly recognizable G1-inspired head, with rather snooty (or camp, take your pick) pursed lips. An undocumented aspect of his transformation is that his gun, which splits in two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] when transforming (much like [[Rattrap]]'s) has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that the gun can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. Additionally, the Megatron figure has an extra peg hole in his right forearm (well, technically so does Prime), allowing you to insert the mid-length plug of his black-colored weapon at this point, positioning the weapon in such a way as to resemble (''vaguely'') his traditional [[fusion cannon]], rather than simply holding it in his hand.

:Somewhat perversely, Sneakertron's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker altmode, so in effect, ''he is wearing himself!'' Kinky...

===Henkei! Henkei!===
[[Image:Henkei Megatron Toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Megatron's palette must be swapped... no matter the cost."]]
*'''Megatron''' (Voyager, 2008)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''D-01'''

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]] Transformers'' Megatron is a redeco of the ''Classics'' version. He features a significantly altered colour scheme, generally to make the toy more closely resemble his appearance in the ''Generation 1'' cartoon and the original toyline. His chestplate is chromed silver.

===Universe (2008)===
*'''Megatron''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2008)

[[Image:Megatronlegend2008.jpg|left|200px|thumb|His shoulders hurt too, buddy!]]
:A Legends-class version of Megatron inspired by his Generation 2 tank design, although featuring a more realistic shade of green.
{{-}}
[[Image:Universe2008-toy SEMegatron.JPG|right|250px|thumb|]]
*'''Megatron''' (Deluxe Class: Special Edition, 2008)

:A redeco of the "Ultimate Battle" Megatron from ''Classics'', this time featuring a G1-inspired deco of grays, red and black. This new deco takes advantage of the mould break-up to add an additional plastic colour (5, rather than the original's 4). In actuality the dark grey parts on the original version of the mould are now divided between light grey, red and black plastic on the "Special Edition" version. This is really obvious if one compares their guns. "Ultimate Battle" Megatron's is solid grey, while "Special Edition" Megatron's sports a red stock.

:The Special Edition toy was designed for Australiasian markets and features a bookbox style packaging with black-and-white boxart. The box better be good since he supports an inflated price tag as well (it wasn't uncommon for him to be sold solo for as much as the "Special Edition" double-pack). He was not available at retail in North America, but was for sale on Hasbrotoyshop.com, like the other Special Edition toys.

:His feet are correctly assembled this time around, so yay for that.

===Alternity===
*'''Nissan Fairlady Z feat. Megatron''' (2009)

:The Alternity Megatron transforms into a 1:32 scale model of a Nissan 370Z and features die-cast metal parts. He has been shown to have deployable weapons on his forearms, comparable to those on Convoy, but more prominately weilding a pair of swords that can be stored on his thighs.

: The toy is going to be available in two color variants: Silver and Monterey Blue.

{{-}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Skywarpatron.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Skywarp really DID need close supervision.]]
* It seems that no-one could get Megatron's box art right in Japan. His standard release used edited box art from the standard Microchange P-38 toy's black deco, recolored to Megatron's US toy color scheme with shiny 'chrome' and red on his legs and arms instead of the Japanese toy's flat gray and blue. The VS-X art replaced the red with blue, but kept the 'chrome'. The art on the 'Goodbye Megatron' set used edited US box art (which in turn was the Microchange P-38 UNCLE art with an added sigil) that replaced the red with blue, yet this toy used red plastic.

* In a possible fit of madness, a triple changer was proposed that would switch between [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] (possibly mistaken for Starscream), Megatron, and Skywarp's jet mode.

[[Image:Megalvatron.jpg|right|150px|thumb|This toy IS a time paradox.]]
* In a slightly more sane attempt, another triple changer was proposed which would switch between Megatron, a very awkward [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], and a Walther P-38 handgun with a futuristic silencer and laser sight.

* According to [[Don Figueroa]], the mysterious clip on the back of 6" Titanium ''War Within'' Megatron was meant to carry the sword Megatron was depicted as using in ''The War Within''. As in the comics, it would presumably have resembled the sword packaged with various versions of G1 Megatron. It may have been omitted due to cost concerns.

* G2 Megatron's lock-and-load shoulder cannon was remolded slightly and reused as the main cannon on the [http://www.yojoe.com/sgtsavage/panther.shtml I.R.O.N Panther Tank] in the very short-lived 1995 [[G.I. Joe]] line ''Sgt. Savage & The Screaming Eagles''.
