Evergreen

2018-11-08T17:44:01Z

Rares: /* Toys */ Removed Megatron, more in common with G1 Cartoon than evergreen silhouette. Unsure of any Siege figures that resemble the Evergreen line at the moment.

[[File:MyBusyBook-figurines.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66|''I'm gonna take this moment And make it last forever'']]
In a commercial context, '''evergreen''' product is merchandise that is not "seasonal" – it can be sent to shelves for an extended period without needing to be refreshed or updated. For ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'', this means product that is "franchiseless", not tied any any flavor-of-the-year brand like a cartoon or movie.

After the [[live-action film series]] catapulted ''Transformers'' back into the public consciousness, deliberately evergreen products became increasingly common throughout the early 2010s, typically for licensed merchandise or for ancillary, [[market six|value-oriented]] [[Hasbro]] toys. These products would typically borrow key art from a scattershot assortment of sources, such as various ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' toylines and the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Legends]]'' card game.

Eventually, Hasbro moved to align these sorts of products under a unified evergreen aesthetic, and began implementing a purpose-made set of [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation-1-inspired]] character designs, created by [[Emiliano Santalucia]], for use on all-and-sundry licensed and in-house products. They first debuted in late [[2016]], without fanfare, in [[IDW Publishing]]'s [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|Generation 1 comic line]], before showing up on a wider variety of merchandise during [[2017]].

[[File:FutureGloriesLost-KnightTemplarPrime.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.33|''I'm gonna give my heart away And pray we'll stay together'']]
[[IDW Publishing]]'s Generation 1 comic line began introducing evergreen character designs in the aftermath of the 2016 ''[[Revolution]]'' crossover event. The implementation was last-minute enough that [[:File:OP1 subcvrA.jpg|at least one cover]] had to be redrawn by the artist to incorporate Optimus's evergreen design. Designs have been introduced as follows:
*[[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]], beginning with [[Ping|''The Transformers: Till All Are One'' #5]]
*[[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]], beginning with [[New Cybertron Part 1: To Walk Among the Chosen|''Optimus Prime'' #1]]

Megatron (G1)/toys

2018-11-08T17:39:50Z

Rares: /* War for Cybertron: Siege */ I don't think it's correct to say evergreen-esque, many differences. Suggest G1 cartoon esque instead based on leg, fusion cannon and shoulder silhouette.

==Generation 1==
[[File:G1Megatron toy.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|This photo needs an orange cap or someone might shoot the wiki.]]
*'''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", 20 bullets
:Released in the first year of the ''Transformers'' toyline, the original Megatron toy began life as the ''[[Microman]]'' figure "Gun Robo - P38", which transforms into an accurate replica of a Walther P-38 pistol. This ''Microman'' figure was available in two forms: a standard version in two color schemes (one grey, one black), and the "Gun Robo - P38 U.N.C.L.E.", outfitted with three distinctive accessories—a scope, a silencer and a stock—that replicate the appearance of the unique, specialized Walther pistol seen in the popular 1960s spy television series ''{{w|The Man from U.N.C.L.E.}}'' <ref>"U.N.C.L.E. Special" Carbine at CIA Museum, [http://web.archive.org/web/20100324191047/https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/cia-museum/spy-fi-archives/item08.html archived version]</ref> It was the "U.N.C.L.E." version, with all of its special accessories, that was released by Hasbro as Megatron. When the figure is in [[robot mode]], the sight doubles as his signature arm-mounted [[fusion cannon]], but can also be combined with the other attachments to form either a "Particle Beam Cannon" weapons emplacement that Megatron can man, or a "Telescopic Laser Cannon" that connects to the figure as an over-shoulder weapons array. The pieces can also form a turret that a ''Microman'' figure can sit on and operate (that's what the tiny handles on Megatron's fusion cannon are for), but this feature was naturally left out of the ''Transformers'' version's instructions. Megatron also came with a chromed silver "high-density infrared laser cannon" that plugs into his either of his hands.

:The original ''Microman'' release of the toy that would be Megatron featured a spring-loaded firing mechanism that allowed the toy to shoot ([[for safety reasons|dangerously small]]) plastic bullets one at a time from its barrel. A similar launching mechanism was also built into the stock piece, which could launch the bullets when the accessories were configured into their weapons emplacement mode, or attach to Megatron's hip when in robot mode and launch the bullets through his barrel. As with all missile-firing gimmicks, this feature was removed from the Hasbro release of the toy, though the ports into which the bullets were inserted are still present.

:Megatron has had several variations, reissues and [[redeco]]s released down through the years; this article strives to list each distinct edition of the toy under its own respective series. The earliest variation of the toy came in 1985, when (like all toys originally available in 1984) a factory-applied [[rubsign]] was added to Megatron's right arm while another version had the rub sign on his left hip guard. Then, the following year, when he was no longer a part of the toy assortment sold at retail, Megatron was made available as a mail-away item in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" flier packed in with boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $21.50 and five [[Robot Point]]s. To coincide with the 1986 animated movie release, he was also offered in 'The Autobots Have A Special Mission For...' mail-away pamphlet and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle. (This item is considered rare.)

:Perhaps the most significant variant of Megatron released in these early years was the version of the figure released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in Japan (pictured below). Instead of using the ''Microman'' "U.N.C.L.E." figure as Hasbro had, Takara released the ''standard'' version of the Gun Robo P-38 ''Microman'' figure, in its grey color scheme, which featured flat grey plastic on the chest and arms (where Hasbro's toy was chromed), and blue plastic on the inner arms and legs (where Hasbro's was red). Most notably, like that standard ''Microman'' figure, Takara's Megatron did not come with the stock, silencer and scope accessories (lacking even the attachment point for his cannon on his right arm), but instead came with a silver-chromed sword and retained his original bullet-firing mechanism. Takara's [[package art]] for the figure was an entirely different illustration from the Hasbro version, showing this toy's accessories, but it still erroneously showed the figure with red plastic on its limbs. This coloration was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] by [[e-HOBBY]] for a new character named [[Megaplex]].

:Megatron is probably the most troubled Transformer toy in all of Transformer history, due to being originally Japanese which had different toy laws, he is frequently [[For safety reasons|banned]] due to being a realistic gun while lacking an orange cap to indicate it's not a real gun. Some countries banned it or deemed it illegal due to criminals or kids misusing it as a real gun and terrorizing others, or law enforcement mistaking it for a real firearm and shooting innocent people dead (as has happened multiple times in the past). For you American fans, it may actually be easier to own a ''real'' Walther P-38 handgun than this original Megatron toy.

*'''Convoy VS Megatron''' (Multi-pack, 1985)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''VSX'''
**''Accessories'': Sword, "high-density infrared laser cannon", 20 bullets
: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 a functional firing mechanism and sword, instead of the scope, silencer and stock. This box also used an altered version of the individual release's box-art, turning his head sideways to face Prime, as opposed to the original's camera-facing head position.

*'''Good Bye Megatron''' (Multi-pack, 1986)
**''Accessories'': Sword, "high-density infrared laser cannon", 20 bullets, targeting sight/fusion cannon
:Megatron was released again as part of a special "Good Bye" set to commemorate his passing ([[Galvatron (G1)|of sorts]]) in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', packaged with [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] (who also was now no more). Although it still lacked the chrome seen on the Hasbro version of the toy, this edition of the figure replaced the blue plastic seen on previous Takara releases with Hasbro's show-accurate red, and included the fusion cannon accessory for the first time with a Takara release, complete with the mounting point now added to Megatron's right arm. Though still lacking the silencer and stock, the toy retained its Japanese-exclusive sword accessory and its bullet-firing mechanism, with one modification: The bullets, formerly blue, were now red.

: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.

**''Accessories'': Neutro-Fusion Tank, 4 missiles, "twin laser cannon"
[[File:Neutro-fusiontanktoy1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Uh-oh! Visual interest!]]
: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 character'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. Four "corrosive smoke shell" accessories mounted on both sides of the tank. There are seats for two Action Master figures on the front on either side of the barrel, another seat inside the turret, and four pegs on the back of the tank for standing additional Action Master figures.

:The tank's turret can detach and become a "jet throne," which features flip-out wings, and the body of the tank transforms into a missile-launcher battle station. The battle station has two seats on either side behind the missile launchers (non-firing) and a stowing bay in the center for an additional figure.

:In a fairly notable omission, ''Action Master'' Megatron did not come with the character's iconic fusion cannon accessory. In 1992, however, a Japanese fan sculpted his own cannon accessory, which could plug into the figure's arm using the shoulder screw-hole (seen in the image at right). In a surprising move, Takara gave this cannon their approval and allowed it to be officially sold with their copyright stamp at a Japanese convention {{fact|which one?}} for only one day, at the price of 2000 yen.

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

:This reissue of the original Megatron figure combines the best aspects of the Hasbro and Takara versions into the most "complete" version of Megatron available at that point. The set features the chromed chest and arms and red plastic of the Hasbro release, and includes the silencer, stock and sight/cannon, while also coming with Takara's sword and functional bullet-firing mechanism.

:This reissue was redecoed to make the simultaneously available exclusive "Megatron Black Version" (see below).

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''16-S'''
**''Accessories'': Silencer, stock, telescopic sight/fusion cannon, "high-density infrared laser cannon", sword, 20 bullets

: Where the original Takara Megatron toy made use of one of the two color schemes of the original ''Microman'' Gun Robo P38 toy, this redeco of the 2000 reissue Megatron is an homage to the ''second'', black color scheme for the ''Microman'' toy. Available exclusively through e-Hobby and pre-orders at [[BotCon Japan 2000]], "Megatron Black Version" features dark gunmetal chrome, black plastic instead of grey, and distinctive brown gun handle-grips, fists and "inner helmet". The chrome replaces the flat black plastic of the original ''Microman'' toy, which also had blue plastic on its legs and arms that is here supplanted by Megatron's now-traditional red. The toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

: e-Hobby later reissued Megatron Black Version in February 2009, now in [[Collector's Edition]] packaging. This release includes a [[Destron Leader Megatron Black Ver.|mini-comic]] explaining the story behind the redeco.

==Generation 2==
[[File:G2Megatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|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 Hasbro's [[for safety reasons|inability]] to re-release the original Megatron because that toy was a pistol, ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' instead saw the release of an entirely new Megatron toy in 1992, now as a large green M1A1 Abrams main battle tank. His main gimmick is his gravity-fed cannon, which holds four of his missiles at once (the remaining two can store in clips inside his legs) and can rapidly launch them one after the other. Pulling back on the cannon's tab drops a missile into the firing tube and triggers a "lock and load" sound effect, and pressing the launch button is accompanied by a firing sound effect. In tank mode, pressing a panel on his forward section trigger's the toy's infamous battle cry of '''"Megatron Attack!"''', while pressing down on the tank body while it is on a flat surface activates engine noises.

: 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 are immobile, but he has upper shoulder rotation and elbow joints; when raised, his left arm triggers an electronic laser sound effect. His cannon and all its sound effects still work in this mode, as does his "Megatron Attack!" sound effect, now triggered by pressing down on the figure's head.

: This sculpt was slightly [[redeco]]ed (with new stickers) as ''[[Beast Wars II (toyline)|Beast Wars II]]'' [[Megastorm]].

: Furthermore, a [[retool]]ed version of the toy's lock-and-load shoulder cannon (or a new sculpt heavily based on it) was used 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 (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' line ''Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles''.

*'''Megatron''' (Hero, 1993)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TRF-2'''
**''Accessories'': Rifle, 2 air-launch missiles

:Megatron was released again the following year as [[Hero (G2)|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. Both missiles could be kept on Megatron 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. However, it's really just friction that keeps his joints tight and his parts together in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] (no pegs or clips) so after a bit of time and play, he turns pretty floppy. The joints connecting his biceps to his shoulders are also reportedly easy to break due to overly-tight tolerances, so caution is advised.

: This toy was released in Europe, albeit with a "MEGATRON RULES"-free blank chest sticker, as [[Archforce]]. It was also redecoed into [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Bludgeon (RID 2001)|Bludgeon]] (which has since been [[Repurposing|repurposed]] to become "[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]" [[Bludgeon (SG)|Bludgeon]]), and retooled to become [[#reverseconvoy|Reverse Convoy]].

**''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#GobotOptimusPrime|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)/toys|Soundwave]] and the Japanese release of Go-Bots Optimus Prime.

: A planned-but-more-or-less-canceled redeco of ''Generation 2'' [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]], this two-pack of Megatron and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#ATB|Starscream]] was only released to test markets in Ohio in very limited quanities, and never saw a wide release. Megatron and Starscream combine to form a "flying wing" Advanced Tactical Bomber, with an under-slung six-missile gatling cannon that can rapid-fire six missiles by twisting the back end. Each wing can store three more missiles, which can "carpet-bomb" targets below by pressing the pressure-launch buttons above each. Removing Starscream from the jet mode triggers an autotransformation mechanism in Megatron's wings, folding them up and starting him on his way to his third mode as a treaded "tank."

: With this release cancelled, the toy was instead made available, with just a few small deco changes, in the ''[[Beast Wars II (toyline)|Beast Wars II]]'' toyline as [[BB]] and [[Starscream (BWII)|Starscream]]. According to the Toy Fair 1995 Transformers presentation, the toy's missiles were intended to glow in the dark, but this feature was not carried over to the ''Beast Wars II'' set.

*'''Optimus Primal VS Megatron''' (Basic 2-pack, 1996)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''VS-6'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun/tail

:Early on the life of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|''Beast Wars'' toyline]], before the debut of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Wars'' cartoon]] (which definitively established ''Beast Wars'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] as a separate, distinct character), packaging [[bio]]s and the [[Optimus Primal vs Megatron!|mini-comic]] sold with this first ''Beast Wars'' Megatron figure indicated that he was the same Megatron from Generation 1 and 2. As such, all the Megatron toys released in this early era of the ''Beast Wars'' line are listed here for completeness, representing a [[micro-continuity]] in which Generation 1 Megatron took on these forms.

:The initial version of ''Beast Wars'' Megatron transforms into a green alligator. The toy shares a mold with [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]], sporting different beast and robot mode heads and lacking the lizard's frill (though the screw hole for the frill bracket remains); as the two toys were released at the same time, it is unknown if one is a [[retool]] of the other, or if the mold was designed for both simultaneously. Megatron transforms via a spring-loaded one-step process, and his removable [[beast mode]] tail hides a non-firing blaster cannon that becomes a hand-held weapon for his robot mode.

:This mold was redecoed into the purple Megaligator ([[#CDgator|see below]]), and a different redeco was proposed for the unproduced [[Albitron]]. The Iguanus version of the mold was redecoed into [[Crazybolt (BWN)|Crazybolt]].

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 (subgroup)|Predator]] [[Falcon (G1)|Falcon]].

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Beast Wars II (toyline)|Beast Wars II]]'' [[Thrust (BWII)#Toys|Thrust]], [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Wind Sheer (RID)#Toys|Wind Sheer]], and ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' [[Air Hunter]].

:''[[Choro-Q|Choro-Q Robo]]'' Megatron is a small, cutesified transforming figure of the Decepticon leader. He is the only ''Choro-Q Robo'' Transformers figure that does not come with a weapon accessory, but after all, he does turn ''into'' a gun. In a bizarre and hilarious touch, Megatron has wheels on his base and barrel, so that he can share the common feature of the ''Choro-Q Robo'' figures: a pull-back motor!

:Sadly, Megatron's gray plastic is ''extremely'' prone to [[Photodegradation|yellowing]] even when not exposed to sunlight and becomes brittle just as quickly, shattering to bits easily. Thankfully, the black version has no such problem.

This release was identical to the previous 2000 reissue, in that it featured the colors of the Hasbro release of the toy, and all the accessories of both the Hasbro and Takara versions, but this time, it also included a new [[energon mace]] weapon which plugs over Megatron's hand, as used by the Decepticon leader in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]". Much like the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|"New Year Special"]] version of Optimus Prime released the previous year, Megatron also came with a sheet of Decepticon [[insignia]] stickers of different sizes, and a Decepticon mouse pad.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''9'''
: A diminutive version of Megatron in his Walther P-38 mode was included as a new accessory with the ''Transformers Collection'' release of Starscream. Needless to say, he doesn't transform, but can be held by Starscream in both modes. Megatron's handle disconnects to reveal a peg, which can then be inserted into either of Starscream's fists, which were specifically resculpted for this purpose. Each fist also features a tab on its underside, into which Megatron's handle can be inserted, completing the effect. Megatron can also attach to Starscream's jet mode; the right-hand side of Megatron's handle features a square peg which is designed to fit snugly in gaps in Starscream's pectorals, as in the Generation 1 episode, "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]". Unfortunately, this peg has, for no fathomable reason, been cast in the same sky blue color as Starscream's hands, unnecessarily making it ''as obtrusive as humanly possible''. An additional tabbed right fist for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Optimus Prime]] (complementing his then-upcoming ''Transformers Collection'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers Collection|Convoy]] release) was included as well.

: Megatron's post is compatible with [[5mm post]] fist holes, provided there is sufficient clearance for both the trigger and the back of the gun, and if you don't mind not using the handle.

: Hasbro attempted to include the original Generation 1 Megatron toy in their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' of reissues, but his realistic-gun-ness posed [[for safety reasons|a challenge]]. In an attempt to convince Toys R Us (the retailer through whom the line was exclusively available) to carry the toy, Hasbro proposed an extensive redeco of the figure, replacing its silver chrome with blue and its grey plastic with bright orange, including the tip of his silencer, in accordance with standard safety measures taken with toy guns. Even this was not enough to convince the chain to release the figure and it was shelved, but the design was shown to fans at [[BotCon 2002]], where it was noted that a potential way to the market the unusually-colored toy would have been to brand it as "Lava Megatron", depicting the Decepticon leader after his dunk in lava at the end of the cartoon episode, "[[Heavy Metal War]]". Fans, however, had another nickname for it that became better known: "Safety Megatron". Notably, this version of the toy would apparently have come with Megatron's Japanese-exclusive sword accessory.

:The same images were later shown at [[BotCon 2005]]. Sadly, photography was not allowed at either panel the toy was shown at.

*'''Megatron''' (2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF 07'''
**''Accessories:'' Fusion cannon/scope

: ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Megatron was released in the second wave of the diminutive Takara toyline, including only his fusion cannon. Easily the most complex of the ''Smallest Transforming'' figures, Megatron is a just-barely-simplified version of his original Generation 1 toy, possessing the same [[transformation scheme]] and retaining most of his articulation. The transformation step involving sliding his chest upwards away from his hips is extremely difficult and will usually result in the chest popping off; this is fixable.

:Just as ''Smallest Transforming'' Optimus Prime's trailer was released as a separate figure in the line, so too were a set of silencer and stock attachments originally intended to be released for Megatron in the line's third wave. Unfortunately, this wave, and most of the other original figures it was set to contain, was cancelled, and so Megatron was left under-armed.

: A [[retool]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' "Hero Megatron" toy, Rebirth Megatron transforms into a heavily modified blue and tan [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|M1 Abrams tank]]. In addition to a new "[[Reverse Convoy]]" head that flips out of the same compartment as the head on the original version of the mold, the toy features a brand new "Mega Blaster" cannon assembly that houses most of the toy's new features. The Mega Blaster fires a spring-loaded blue missile, and the rear of the cannon can be removed and transformed into the hand-held "Reverse Blaster" weapon, featuring twin barrels and a rack of six (non-removable) missiles. Once the Reverse Blaster is removed, the toy's "Rebirth Megatron" head can be rotated out from the back of the cannon to take the place of Reverse Convoy's head between the figure's shoulders.

: The original version of this mold was use to make [[Archforce]] and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Bludgeon (RID 2001)|Bludgeon]] (which has been [[Repurposing|repurposed]] to also be ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Bludgeon (SG)|Bludgeon]]).

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2003/2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1'''
**''Accessories'': Scope, silencer, stock

:''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime 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]]d to be wielded by Prime, Megatron is really rather small, so a diagonal sliding joint is added to his handle, allowing it to be lengthened and narrowed enough so that Prime can actually hold it. Both the stock and the sliding butt-end of the handle are made of a soft, rubbery vinyl, compared to the hard plastic of the other pieces. The stock extension connecting clamp is prone to breakage, much to the chagrin of owners who keep theirs sealed and untouched.

:Needless to say, the later-released ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] (and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|his]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|redecoes]]) can also hold this version of Megatron, and each include a small round clip that plugs in under their nosecones, allowing them to wield Megatron while in jet mode, as Starscream did in "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]".

:As the ''Masterpiece'' Optimus Prime mold has been has re-released multiple times, so too has Megatron. He was made available again without changes as an accessory for Takara's MP-4, "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp4|Convoy Perfect Edition]]" and MP-1L, "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#lastshot|Convoy Last Production]]", and Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]", but has also been redecoed several times: these distinct new versions of Megatron are listed below.

: Scaled to the same height as ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime and designed in only twelve days by [[Hisashi Yuki]],<ref name="mpmegsdev">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/takaratomy-staff-interview-hisashi-yuki-on-masterpiece-180888/ TakaraTomy Staff Interview - Hisashi Yuki on Masterpiece]: - I hear the first Masterpiece figure you created was MP-5 Megatron and you hold the fastest development record with it.
[Yuki]: That is right. (*laughs) I was not assigned to be in charge of it initially, but due to the circumstance within the company I was unexpectedly handed down the project. The schedule came with it and I was stunned when I realised that I was only given 12 days, about 2 weeks...To make it worse, at the time of my receiving the task, even the product size wasn't decided. (*tears)</ref> ''Masterpiece'' Megatron is an incredibly complex figure—potentially one of, if not ''the'', most complicated ''Transformers'' toys to date—designed to depict a fairly [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] Megatron capable of transforming into a realistic (if oversized) Walther P-38. In achieving this seemingly impossible goal, Megatron winds up with the least articulation of the ''Masterpiece'' line, as well as a notably low percentage of die-cast metal.

: Like Prime before him, Megatron comes with several of his iconic accessories from the Generation 1 cartoon: his energon mace from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2", the energy dagger and laser pistol used in his duel against Prime in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', and a tiny translucent [[Kremzeek]] figure. His fusion cannon also contains a powerful red LED activated when the round detailing on the side of his cannon is pressed. Unfortunately, Megatron lacks the extended-stock and silencer parts to complete his gun mode, leaving him as a standard pistol aside from the mounted-scope made from his Fusion Cannon.

: Due to concern surrounding updated realistic toy gun laws, some online importers modified ''Masterpiece'' Megatron in order to safely get the toy through United States customs. This customarily involved inserting plugs into the tip of the toy's barrel, from rounded red ones affixed by adhesive to [[:File:HLJplug.jpg|flat-tipped yellow ones]] that could be easily removed. Ultimately, there were no reports of problems with the toy making its way into America, but Australia was another matter. Considered a replica gun and therefore a "restricted import" by Australian Customs, both mass shipments and individual packages of the toy were seized, requiring buyers in some areas to obtain a special permit to own him.

: 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. Many owners of this figure have also reported rust and tarnish problems on what few metal pieces he has; if your Megatron is a sufferer, check out [http://seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?t=16106 this guide] for solutions.

:A completely new mold, this second version of Megatron transforms from a more accurate-looking and well-articulated robot mode into a more realistically-sized gun; those extra design goals make this figure's transformation even more challenging than the 2007 figure (and, really, anything else). He comes with the stock and silencer parts for the gun that the MP-5 mold was missing, which can be combined to create both the "telescopic laser cannon" and "particle beam cannon" arrays the pieces were capable of forming on the Generation 1 toy; the stock also transforms into a "flight stand" that can support the figure in mid-air. In addition to his "regular" face, Megatron has alternate angry and smiling faces, plus a fourth, damaged face that, together with an alternate damaged chestplate, replicates his injuries from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. When his face is removed, it exposes a detailed recreation of the interior of his head as it was shown during the "x-ray" sequence in the film, when he was reformatted into Galvatron.

:Like the previous ''Masterpiece'' figure, Megatron comes with the pistol and energy dagger used during his battle with Prime in the movie, and his energon mace from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2," which this time comes with a jointed plastic chain that allows the weapon to be posed dynamically, in addition to a regular, "real" chain. Finally, he also comes with a diecast Key to Vector Sigma from the [[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1|two]]-[[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2|part]] Generation 1 cartoon episode of the same name, and the clone control helmet he wore in "[[A Prime Problem]]."

:Unfortunately, this figure is prone to paint damage on areas that scrape together during transformation. Significant care must be taken when covering the robot face with the chestplate (or you can just take the face off beforehand as a precaution). It is apparently impossible to attach the silencer without scraping some paint off the gun barrel.

:When purchased in some non-Japanese online stores like BigBadToyStore, Megatron comes with an orange plug.
{{note|DAMMIT!}}

:On the other hand, Megatron also comes with a Collector Coin, if bought in Asian countries outside of Japan.

[[File:TitaniumGIJoeHeroesMegatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|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 ''[[Transformers/G.I. Joe]]'' comic book series, set in an alternate-reality World War II. Since the gun mode Megatron sported in that story was nonviable as a toy, this toy features a newly-designed tank alternate mode of made-up model. 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 brand|Transformers]]'' crossover.

:Although the figure looks somewhat impressive, it notably has the tendency to fall apart during transformation, combined with loose joints, it was relatively difficult to pose in robot mode without it falling over, something that was entirely par for the course when it came to ''Titanium'' figures. It was known for being a shelfwarmer because of its poor quality, poor design, and poor paintjob, with many regarding it as one of the worst–if not ''the'' worst–Transformers toys ever.

In contrast to his previous ''Titanium'' toy, this Megatron has a more posable robot mode, but a fairly unimpressive alternate mode with a transformation that consists of 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.

:As the mass retail release of the last waves of the ''Titanium'' "Cybertron Heroes" figures was delayed for several months, this two-pack release Megatron was initially more widely available than the individually-sold one. The pack itself was available in two variations: One version has the Optimus Prime figure more or less identical to its individual release, whereas the other one drops the additional black paint weathering, making him much cleaner-looking.

*'''Megatron''' (Voyager, 2006)

:After years of tanks and jets, ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Megatron finally found a way to take Megatron back to his root as a transforming gun, complete with a working crosshairs in his scope and a spring-loaded clicking trigger. Described on-package as a "fusion blaster", Megatron's gun mode is apparently based on a [[:File:N-strike maverick.jpg|Nerf N-Strike Maverick blaster]], and decked out in a [[for safety reasons|safety-regulation-friendly]] color scheme consisting of lots of green and purple (in an apparent homage to his old ''Generation 2'' colors), plus bright orange on both the tip of the barrel and the scope. Years later, it would be discovered that, for currently unknown reasons, the bright color of this orange plastic would fade over time, even if not directly exposed to sunlight.

:Early [[stock photography|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. They also depict Megatron with noticeably different "eyebrow" [[paint operation]]s that matched those of the original Megatron toy, consisting of two small black triangles on his gray plastic forehead. The finished toy inverts this, painting most of his forehead black and leaving the triangles unpainted grey.

:In a glaring example of poor [[quality control]], the back of the packaging reads "working scope becomes anti-proton pulse ''[[canon]]''!"<ref name="canon">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/classics/megatron/928/2/20/ ''Classics'' Megatron's packaging misspells "cannon" as "canon".]</ref>

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

*'''Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle''' (Deluxe versus set, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Rifle
: "Ultimate Battle" Megatron evokes his ''Generation 2'' form as a green tank. Like his pack-in partner, who has a spinning "power punch" action, Megatron features a similar "spinning dervish action" gimmick, his right arm ending not in a fist but a bladed polearm which whirls around with the press of a button at his shoulder. At best, it looks silly, but at worst, it comes off easily. He comes with a small rifle with a rather pointless flip-out stock extension. The very tip of his cannon is a detachable piece, and can become lost ''very'' easily.

: Megatron is [[misassembly|misassembled]] in-package, with his feet swapped and attached backwards. Although not immediately noticeable due to the fact that [[:File:MegatronUltimateBattle.jpg|promotional]] and box-art photography also show this misassembly, any attempt to transform Megatron into tank mode immediately demonstrates the mistake, which is easily corrected by unscrewing his lower legs, reversing the foot pieces, and attaching each to the opposite leg (as has been done in the picture at right).

:In the United States, Megatron was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]). The two-pack (including the DVD) was also available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] "Bonus Value" version with two randomly selected members of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], in the combinations [[Overcast (Cybertron)|Overcast]]/[[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]], Overcast/[[Deepdive (Cybertron)|Deepdive]] and Deepdive/Longarm. International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (in the [[United Kingdom]] and the Netherlands, the DVD just came in a paper sleeve; in other European countries, it was instead made available separately). In addition, the two figures were also sold on [[#cardedultbattle|individual cardbacks]] in some countries (see below). For the United States market, the two-pack was [[rebranding|rebranded]] and [[#universeultbattle|re-released]] in the [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|''Universe'']] line in 2007, and [[#2010ultimatebattle|again in 2011]] for the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] line.

:Not initially released in Japan, this sculpt only got a TakaraTomy release six years later when it was redecoed into "[[#UnitedTank|Tank Megatron]]" for TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toyline.

:''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Megatron is a retool of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Sports Label|''Sports Label'' Optimus Prime]], one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products in that he transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Megatron is primarily black and silver in his alternate mode as a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces (characterized as "electrical discharge cables" in his bio). In robot mode, he sports some additional red paint applications and a somewhat uniquely-shaped yet instantly recognizable Generation 1-inspired head. Also in this mode, Megatron's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode; in an undocumented features, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:This mold might have been planned for a redeco into [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Sports Label|''Sports Label'' Starscream]], but that's a bit vague.

Not bound by the safety regulations that necessitated ''Classics'' Megatron's more colorful appearance, ''Henkei'' Megatron features a significantly different color scheme of black, silver and red designed to make him resemble his original Generation 1 appearance, including translucent red plastic to replicate his classic cartoon "Decepticon red" eyes. All ''Henkei'' toys feature (somewhat randomly-applied) vacuum-metalized chrome parts; in Megatron's case, his chest plate and kneecaps are chromed silver.

[[File:Universe2008-toy SEMegatron.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|"Psst, my cannon shoots Nerf darts."]]
:This "Special Edition" of Megatron is a redeco of the "Ultimate Battle" Megatron from ''Classics'', this time featuring a Generation 1-inspired deco of grays, red and black. This new deco takes advantage of the toy's mould break-up to add a fifth plastic colour (where the original only had four), dividing the parts which were dark grey on the original version between light grey, red and black plastic. Also marking this figure as a particularly "special" edition is the fact that it's the first release of the figure to assemble his feet the correct way around. Amusingly, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him as ''missing a part'': his cannon's detachable tip is missing, and the tip of the cannon's stub is painted red to somehow compensate for that.

:Like all the figures in the small Special Edition line, Megatron was designed for Australasian markets and features a bookbox style packaging with black-and-white boxart, retailing at about 150% of the price for a normal deluxe outside of the United States. He was not available at retail in North America, but was for sale on Hasbrotoyshop.com, like the other Special Edition toys. Years later, Hasbro liquidated excess stock of the special edition figures through Marshall's stores and were sold for a fraction of the original prices.

:Oddly enough, this Megatron and the three other Universe Special Edition toys were included in Taiwanese special value packs each containing a [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)/home video|''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD]].

:The ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Megatron toy transforms into a 1:32 scale model of a Nissan 370Z and features die-cast metal parts and rubber tires. The figure wields two "tesseractal swords" which can be pegged at its hips, or stored under the car in vehicle mode. Each forearm features a flip-out "gravital blade."

Upon its initial release, this toy was also available in blue (see below), and later redecoed in a black variant as well. It was later redecoed into ''Alternity'' [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Alternity|Galvatron]].

The treads of his vehicle can be positioned in either a vertical configuration like a traditional tank or in a horizontal, hovertank configuration. Megatron's spring-loaded cannon can attach to either arm.

:Megatron is cast in a deep dark metallic gray plastic rather than the light gray plastic of the Hasbro version. He also features a blood red metallic paint instead of the more traditional red used on the Hasbro version.

:Part of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' line's]] "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[subline imprint]], this toy is based on Megatron's Generation 1 cartoon appearance (with a little inspiration from [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron]]'' design around the abdomen), transforming into a variation on Megatron's original gun mode (referred to as a "blaster" on Hasbro's website). As he was part of Reveal the Shield, he has a [[rubsign]] on his chest.

[[File:MP Acid Storm-Chronicle gun Megatron-Pull My Trigger.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.85|To hell with safety!]]
:In a fit of complete awesomeness, the figure is sculpted with notches in its handle that specifically allow the ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] mold to grip it. Additionally, the slightly thicker portion of the barrel closer to the main body can be held by the clip included with ''Masterpiece'' Starscream and attach to his jet mode. Unfortunately, Megatron can only be held vertically.

:Despite his tiny size, Hasbro had to cast much of the gun (his arms, the barrel/fusion cannon, and the upper half of his torso) in orange plastic [[for safety reasons]] (Not helped to the fact that there are [https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-tiniest-cutest-guns-that-shoot-real-bullets-1683682859 functional small guns exist]).

**''Accessories:'' {{w|Katana}}, {{w|:Wakizashi|tanto}}
: ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Megatron is an Asian market and Toys"R"Us-exclusive redeco/retool of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen:]] [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]]'' Voyager Class [[Bludgeon (ROTF)#Voyager|Bludgeon]], sporting a new, smiling head. Megatron transforms from a Japanese {{w|Type 90 Kyū-maru|Type 90}} tank into a samurai-esque robot mode. He features a flexible plastic sword which is made out of a portion of the barrel of the tank's main gun, as well as a smaller dagger. The dagger can be stored in a sheath which is revealed from inside the tank turret, and both blades can be slotted in holes provided on the robot mode's left hip guard. The larger sword has a peghole at the bottom of the hilt; though it is specifically designed to allow the dagger's handle to fit in the base to form a double-bladed weapon, it can also fit any other accessory that uses [[5mm post]]s. The post used to combine the swords remains unobstructed in vehicle mode, meaning you can attach the dagger to the end of Megatron's main tank cannon if you're feeling silly. He also has [[Mech Alive]] [[gimmick]]s in his thighs and turret: sculpted cylinders in his thighs rotate whenever his lower legs are rotated, and pulling his turret open makes a sculpted white "disc" at the center rotate while a scabbard for the tantō hinges over to the side and props itself up for use.

:The vehicle mode is one of the very few Transformer tank toys with rubber components to its treads. Portions of the tread links can unlock, allowing them to hang from the robot mode, while the wheels of the treads are integrated separately into the robot mode form itself. The treads still do not function realistically; small plastic wheels on the underside of the treads help the tank mode roll, as is standard with nearly all Transformer tank toys. On the plus side, the tank turret can be rotated a full three-hundred sixty degrees, as can the purple machine gun that sits atop the turret.

:Unlike the other uses of this mold, Megatron comes [[Packaging|packaged]] in robot mode holding his swords, with additional plastic and paper ties in the tray imperfectly holding his swords in position. Because they were packaged this way since they were shipped out of the factory, most Megatrons come with the swords being badly bent and warped ''in the box''. Fortunately, the swords' blades can be ''mostly'' straightened by leaving them sheathed in their hidden scabbards. Straightening their ''hilts'' is a different matter, though.

:This toy suddenly popped up for ''preorder'' at BigBadToyStore in mid-2015, ''three whole years'' after its original release.

: This version of the mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[#Cloud|Megatron]], while the original version was redecoed into ''Transformers: [[Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' [[Banzaitron (TF 2010)|Banzaitron]], and differently retooled to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overlord (Masterforce)#Timelines|Gigatron]].

**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #004'''

:Part of the fourth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Megatron is a new mold that is roughly the same size as a ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy. He transforms from a generic tank with rotating turret into a robot based on his [[Alex Milne]] pre-war design as seen in "[[Chaos Theory Part 1]]" from [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'' ongoing series, and features [[5mm post|5mm-compatible]] ports for his hands and left forearm/turret roof.

: He comes with [[Chop Shop (G1)#Generations|Chop Shop]], who can transform into a stag beetle, a robot, a weapon with a 5mm handle, and a mine plow that attaches to the front of Megatron’s tank mode. He features gearing that opens his pinchers when his legs are moved.

:This mold also served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Megatron (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Megatron]] and was retooled into ''Generations [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Legends Class [[Warpath (G1)#CWLegends|Warpath]].

**''Accessories'': 2 wingtips (combine to form Fusion Cannon)

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''Thrilling 30'' Megatron is based on [[Don Figueroa]]'s stealth bomber design from the IDW Publishing ''[[Heart Like a Wheel|The Transformers]]'' ongoing series (which resembles a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit). In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his [[Fusion cannon#Deluxe|fusion cannon]] (although it's actually designed after the [[rail gun]] this body was equipped with in IDW's comics, but of course Hasbro couldn't call it ''that'' on a toy's packaging). The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. This design was actually taken from an official pitch without Figueroa's permission and with no compensation to the artist; a fact he was rather sore about.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/don-figueroa-designed-idw-s-stealth-bomber-megatron-but-wasn-t-compensated--t96022s0.php "So I read that this was being made into a toy? wow, and I thought only 3rd party companies take stuff without giving any notice, acknowledgement or compensation... FYI: hasbro nor idw solicited me to do this design, I did it on my own."]</ref>

:In the American release Megatron comes packed in with a copy of IDW's [[Spotlight: Megatron]], sporting a 'Hasbro Exclusive Cover' cropped from the [[Clayton Crain]] [[:File:Spotlight Megatron cvrRI.jpg|retailer incentive cover]]. In European and Canadian markets the figure was released without the Spotlight.

:He was later retooled into ''Generations'' [[Dreadwing (G2)#Generations|Dreadwing]], ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Krok (G1)#Timelines|Krok]], and ''The Last Knight'' [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TLKDeluxe|Megatron]].

[[File:LeaderMegatron2015.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.95|"What? No, of course I don't have an Autobot insignia! [[...And the Damage Done: Dark Cybertron Finale|Why would you think that?"]]]]
*'''Megatron''' (Leader, 2015)
**''Accessories'': Two guns (combine to form rifle), missile

:Part of the first wave of 2015 ''Generations [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Leader Class toys, Megatron transforms from a robot heavily inspired by his Generation 1 animation model into a tank featuring working treads. He includes a sticker sheet featuring two each of Decepticon and Autobot [[insignia]] (the latter in reference to IDW's ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]''), plus stickers intended to replicate those on the original Megatron toy's chest and fusion cannon. Megatron also comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. His box-back bio bears a superficial similarity to our wiki's article on [[Megatron (WFC)|another Megatron]]. He features a spark chamber hatch which is sculpted in likeness to the one seen in "[[Master Blaster]]". In a feature that goes undocumented in Megatron's instructions, his two guns can store underneath the rear of his alternate mode. Although the website description & the package billed the transformation as "15 steps", the toy actually has ''10'' steps.

:Although the toy is depicted in robot mode shots as positioning the cannon with the missile-firing tip forward, it can be flipped around on a pinned swivel to better resemble the classic-styled fusion cannon, although this causes some clearance issues with the arm itself due to the fact the pinned swivel means the cannon cannot be physically removed. Megatron's knee articulation is also greatly restricted, which combined with his lack of ankle joints can make getting him to stand up quite difficult, let alone posing him.

:Select aspects of this design, such as the leg-mounted treads, the general transformation sequence and the tank alt-mode, were used to represent G1 Megatron in ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''. The toy meanwhile was retooled into [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Generations|''Armada'' Megatron]], which was released at the same time.

:Released as a part of the [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service#5.0 (2016)|Figure Subscription Service 5.0]], Megatron is a redeco of his [[#GenerationsLegends|Legends Class toy]], with his coloration based on his canceled ''Generation 2'' [[#CombatHero|"arctic-camo" Combat Hero Megatron toy]]. He also comes with [[Spacewarp#Generations|Spacewarp]] (a redeco of [[Blast Master#Generations|''Generations'' Payload]]) and his Pretender shell, which is redecoed from [[Grand Maximus#Super-God Masterforce|Grand Maximus]]'s. Double Pretender Megatron also comes with a joint piece for Spacewarp to let her fit in the shell along with Megatron. This joint piece is sculpted to resemble the large chromed laser cannon that the original G1 Megatron toy came with. His Pretender shell weapons are black repaints of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Sentinel Prime's rifle and Voyager class Optimus Prime's sword.

:There are two ways to make Megatron and Spacewarp fit into the shell:
::1. [https://twitter.com/JesseWittenrich/status/857749521190801409 Fiddle the Megatron figure into a different position, and insert the joint piece on his chest to allow Spacewarp to attach on it].

*'''Doomshot & Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Fusion Cannon, Rifle, Doomshot Titan Master

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Megatron is a new mold which transforms from robot to tank to plane reminiscent of his [[#Machine Wars|''Machine Wars'' counterpart]] and back. Megatron comes with [[Doomshot#Generations|Doomshot]], a [[Titan Master]] who becomes his head. The G1 toy-accurate 'scrollwork' details on his chest and all Decepticon insignias (on his robot mode chest, jet nosecone, and tank tread cowling) are chrome-backed, factory-applied, low-quality stickers which are notoriously prone to peeling off at the slightest disturbance. As their chrome-backed nature clashes heavily with Megatron's otherwise unpainted torso, replacing them is recommended. His wing stickers are similarly metallic, but appear to adhere better and clash less with the figure's overall aesthetic.

:The fusion cannon is shown in stock renders to be solid black, while the final one is light grey plastic dipped in black paint with the posts left bare. His dark-grey plastic is nowhere near as dark as the stock renders shows, though it is still darker than the light-grey plastic.

:Like all Voyager Class ''Titans Return'' figures, he has a pair of pop-up parts to fill in the area around his head; in this case, a pair of missile racks. However, those parts heavily restrict his neck articulation when deployed; unlike many others in his size class, his chest does not contain a pivoting assembly for better range of movement. Due to the nature of his transformation, it is possible to transform Megatron into tank mode without removing his head.

:His fusion cannon can plug into the short barrel of the tank turret or the rifle/Titan Master vehicle weapon. In an undocumented additional feature, the rifle can be inserted into the front end of the fusion cannon. The fusion cannon can be mounted on his forearm or held by any figure with 5mm hands. It also has a peg hole that an accessory such as his rifle can plug into, with extra square peg holes specifically to hold the rifle in place.

:The instructions for robot-to-tank transformation suggest that you move his robot mode chestplate downwards into the collapsed jet position. It appears to have a clearance issue, with the chest protruding too far; leaving it in robot mode position will ensure there are no clearance issues. However, the chest ''can'' be made to fit better by putting it into position before transforming the treads, preventing the tread panels from getting in the way. Also in some copies of the toy, Megatron's left and right leg panels will randomly pop and stick out. This is especially prominent in tank and jet mode.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was retooled into [[Blitzwing (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Blitzwing]], and redecoed into ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' [[Vega]]. Megatron would have been redecoed/retooled into [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] with a new Titan Master face for Doomshot as part of the "Action on Hydrus Four" boxset for BotCon 2017 that never came to be.

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Megatron is another redeco of the ''Classics'' Voyager toy. Megatron features a new and significantly different deco for the sake of [[for safety reasons|gun safety laws]]. The sides of his gun mode are entirely cast in clear red plastic, his arms are a different shade of red plastic and there is red paint on the legs as well–in addition to the bright orange parts on both the tip of the barrel and the scope, just like the ''Classics'' figure. Whether by design or by accident, his deco strongly resembles the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive [[Nerf]] "[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_FIRE Sonic Fire]" color scheme.

:''Platinum Edition'' Megatron was only available as part of a 2-pack with [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/toys#StandFall|Optimus Prime]], named "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall" after Prime's famous line in the movie. In the United States and Canada, this set was officially released as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive. It was also available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at Myer stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and available via Tesco's website (but never found in stores). Surprisingly, it was (and still is) a common find in Brazilian online stores.

The other is the "HPR Telescopic Laserstrike Launcher," with two symmetrical blades facing the opposite direction, and can transform into a large sword resembling the sword included in the Takara release of the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original G1 toy]] and can be stored on his back. It can also be mounted on his back to resemble the gun barrel on the original cartoon model's back. Both can combine into the insanely large "NFM Particle Beam Megalauncher," which is meant to be held in his hands or over his head. Like his contemporaries in the ''Siege'' toyline, Megatron features 'battle damage' paint applications all over his head, chest, and legs.

He features die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats.

Like all ''GT'' toys, Megatron also comes with a [[GT Sister]], a poseable human figure themed after a {{w|race queen}}, his partner being a lady named Noa.

: This mold was also used, with different heads and accessories, to make the other ''Transformers GT'' toys: [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GT|GT-R Prime]], [[Star Saber (Victory)#GT|GT-R Saber]], and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#GT|GT-R Maximus]].

A redeco of his ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Deluxe Class toy, Megatron transforms from robot to stealth bomber, with his wings detaching to form a fusion cannon in robot mode. He features Johnson's signature printed on his chest, and also includes an American football accessory redecoed from the one included with Red Dog in the 2011 ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' "Slaughter's Marauders Battle Set" which Megatron is totally incapable of actually holding, though since the ball has a divot carved in one side it can be neatly pegged onto the two prongs on the ends of his forearms- though it's certainly not intended to.{{-}}

This version is identical to his Elite-Class single release in construction, but this version features a more Generation 1-based paint scheme. He retains the gimmickry of the Elite-Class version but also includes a myriad of extra parts; enough to switch his alternate form from a tank to a jet if one were so inclined.

*'''Megatron''' (2014-[[May 29|05-29]])
**''ID number:'' '''TFC-D01'''
**''Accessories:'' "Fusion Blade" sword, "Deception Sword" dagger

: Megatron is a silver, red and black [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class [[Megatron (G1)/toys#GenerationsVoyager|Megatron]], itself a [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen:]] [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]]'' Voyager Class [[Bludgeon (ROTF)#Voyager|Bludgeon]] with a new head. He transforms from a Japanese {{w|Type 90 Kyū-maru|Type 90}} tank into a samurai-esque robot mode and features a flexible plastic sword which is made out of a portion of the barrel of the tank's main gun, as well as a smaller dagger. The dagger can be stored in a sheath which is revealed from inside the tank turret, and both blades can be slotted in holes provided on the robot mode's left hip guard. Additionally, the dagger's handle can fit in the base of the sword's handle, forming a double-bladed weapon. He has [[Mech Alive]] [[gimmick]]s in his thighs and turret: sculpted cylinders in his thighs rotate whenever his lower legs are rotated, and pulling his turret open makes a sculpted white "disc" at the center rotate while a scabbard for the dagger hinges over to the side and props itself up for use.

: The vehicle mode is one of the very few Transformer tank toys with rubber components to its treads. Portions of the tread links can unlock, allowing them to hang from the robot mode, while the wheels of the treads are integrated separately into the robot mode form itself. The treads still do not function realistically; small plastic wheels on the underside of the treads help the tank mode roll, as is standard with nearly all Transformer tank toys.

: Megatron was available exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]].

: The original version of this mold was redecoed into ''Transformers: [[Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' [[Banzaitron (TF 2010)|Banzaitron]], and it was differently retooled to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overlord (Masterforce)#Timelines|Gigatron]].

: This mold, with a different head sculpt, was also used for the simultaneously released Bearbrick [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Bearbrick|G1 Optimus Prime]] and later released [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Bearbrick|''Age of Extinction'' Optimus Prime]], and was further retooled into [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Bearbrick|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Bearbrick|Starscream]].

:Another re-release of the ''Universe'' Legends Class Megatron sculpt, this time with a slightly lighter shade of green and darker shade of purple camouflage patterns from its previous iterations. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is taken from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Megatron/Chop Shop two-pack's packaging and half-heartedly recolored–ignoring the black and yellow safety striping from the design the art was originally made for–to match the broad strokes of this figure's deco.

:In the United States, Megatron has thus far been found at Big Lots and Family Dollar stores. In Australia, he is available at general retail again, just the previous [[wave]] of Legion Class figures; whereas in Europe, the wave that contains Megatron in other markets is available at general retail, but lacking Megatron for unknown reasons.

: Released under the "TakaraTomy Arts" banner alongside a [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Optimus Prime featuring Original PlayStation|Sony PlayStation version of Optimus Prime]] and outside of any other toyline, Mega Drive Megatron transforms from robot to a scaled-down Japanese [[Sega]] {{w|Sega Genesis|Mega Drive}} video game console–which ironically is about the size of a real-life Mega Drive cartridge. He comes with a gamepad that features pushable buttons which splits in two and attaches to his back like a pair of wings, while the left side of the console detaches and transforms into an arm-mounted cannon attached to his back via the gamepad's cord. He also includes a cartridge depicting the Japanese release of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' that slots into the console/his chest.

: This figure includes what is most likely the smallest accessory to ever be included with a Transformers toy; a small cap that covers the hole left if one does not insert the gamepad into the console mode. The piece is sculpted to resemble an open slot for a gamepad and is a teensy bit ''smaller'' than even the fist parts for a ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]].

: Sega Genesis Megatron is a redeco and slight retool of Mega Drive Megatron in the form of its North American release, the Sega Genesis. In addition to the changes to the console, the red on Megatron's robot mode has been replaced with purple, and the art on the ''Sonic'' cartridge has been changed to match its American release. Even the packaging is changed to evoke Genesis packaging, right down to featuring (awkwardly translated) English text on the back. This version of Megatron is a TakaraTomy Arts online store exclusive.

: Curiously, the promotional pictures of Sega Genesis Megatron appear to show the retooled "16-Bit" panel molded to read "1'''5'''-Bit", but the final release has it correctly molded.

:The INFOBAR figures celebrate 15 years since the 2002 au Design Project that resulted in the INFOBAR cellphone, as well as the 10th anniversary of the [[Live-action film series|live-action films]]. He transforms into a (non-functional) scaled-down replica of the 2002 au INFOBAR, and in lieu of cellphone functions, the figure can be paired via Bluetooth with a smartphone, such as an iPhone, to act as a notification alarm in either robot or INFOBAR mode. The screen is also non-functional, but pre-printed cards are included which can be slid into the screen to show an Autobot logo, Decepticon logo, a mockup of a cellphone home screen, or a technical "Transformers INFOBAR" design. The figure also includes a display stand.

[[File:MicroChangeGunRoboWalther.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|[[Megaplex]] Black Version?]]
[[File:Skywarpatron.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Skywarp really DID need close supervision.]]
[[File:UnmadeVideoCameraMegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85]]
*To date, an exact copy of the black ''[[Microman]]'' ''[[Micro Change]]'' Walther P-38 toy has not been reissued as a Transformer–the e-HOBBY version replaced the blue plastic with red and some of the black plastic parts with silver chrome.
*It seems that no one could get Megatron's [[package 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)/toys|Skywarp]] (possibly mistaken for Starscream), Megatron, and Skywarp's jet mode.
*In a slightly more sane attempt, [[:File:Megalvatron.jpg|another triple changer]] was proposed which would switch between Megatron, a very awkward [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]], and a Walther P-38 handgun with a futuristic silencer and laser sight.
*A kitbashed/hand-painted mock-up of the large ''Generation 2'' tank Megatron mold as a video camcorder is known to exist. Whether it was ever meant to be taken into production and whether it was meant to be Megatron or a new character is unknown. It was originally offered for sale in [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_thread/thread/4f98fe3d58bfe696/b1d0163d38587281?q=ramjet+whiz+bang+toys&pli=1 October of 2000] from Whiz Bang Collectibles, along with other items seemingly from a former Hasbro employee's collection.<ref>[http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Prototypes/Generation2/MegatronVideoCameraMock1.html Megatron Video Camera at Toyarchive.com]</ref>

Seriously? Even if I knew how to make that ridiculous ass backwards R without going into the character map, I think TRU themselves write it as "Toys"R"Us" with inexplicable quotation marks instead of apostrophes surrounding the R.

* '''Galvatron''' (Decepticon, 1986/1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-62'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser Rifle, Particle Cannon, Particle Cannon connector

: Galvatron transforms into a Cybertronic treaded field artillery unit with an alternate hand-held gun mode. Using a 9-volt battery, he has a light-up barrel in cannon or gun mode, light-up eyes in robot mode, and three different electronic warbly noises in all of his modes. Galvatron is notable as one of the most well-articulated toys in the ''Generation 1'' line, with ratcheting shoulders and hips, as well as swivel waist, elbows, mid-biceps, knees, and ankle joints. He was also armed with a small, black laser rifle. In Japan, he was released as part of the ''[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]'' sub-line.

: The original Galvatron toy was much later [[redeco]]ed and re-released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] into a sort-of more show-like appearance, being primarily purple instead of gray. His face mold was slightly [[retool]]ed into a more manic, screeching expression, and his electronics were totally overhauled, now running on two AA batteries instead of a 9-volt. Gone are his three different electronic squeals: the three positions of Galvatron's sliding switch now denote a singular laser noise, the transformation sound effect (played forwards and backwards), and five speech clips by his Japanese voice actor, [[Seizō Katō]]: "Wa-ha-ha-ha, kono orokamono-me!" (Bwah ha ha ha! You fools!), "Eei, Cybertron wo hineri-tsubuse!" (Hrr--crush the Autobots!), "Kono yaku-tatazu mono ga!" (You're all useless!), "Eei, hakai shite kureru wa!" (Grrah, I'll destroy you!), and "Destron gundan, transform!" (Decepticon army, transform!). He also comes with a golden redeco of the die-cast [[Matrix of Leadership]] accessory previously included with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#NewYearConvoy|New Year Special Convoy]], which features a small removable chain that allows it to hang around his neck, as seen in the film.

: This version of the mold was later redecoed into the original toy's colors for the [[e-HOBBY]]-exclusive [[Galvatron II]], with a new speech clip.

===Universe (2008)===
[[File:Galvatronuniversetoy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|And there... on the shoulder... was a [[Hook, Line, and Sinker|HOOK]]!]]
*'''Galvatron''' (Deluxe Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Galvatron transforms into a tank reminiscent of the [http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/israel/merkava.htm Israel Weapons Industries Merkava] main battle tank with some design elements taken from [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron's]] old [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]]. On the tank turret is the slogan "GALV-25", in reference to the [[franchise]]'s 25th anniversary.

:This toy has many undocumented features in the form of small moving parts that play no role in either mode; most conspicuous are two articulated feet for the tank mode. In one of the [[Hasbro Q&A]] sessions, it was confirmed that these are remnants of an early design version of Galvatron, which would have been at a larger size class and [http://www.toymania.com/news/messages/10873.shtml featured a third mode as a "walking tank."] It is still possible to manipulate his parts into a mode greatly resembling the original concept design.

:There were several odd paint choices used on this figure. The left arm is molded in purple plastic to properly match the rest of the robot mode... but is then painted over in tank-mode grey paint, even though the arm is not visible in tank mode at all. The vehicle mode's wheels are molded in the same translucent orange as the cannon, and then painted over with ''a slightly different shade of orange''. [[Hasbro]] lead designer [[Bill Rawley]] commented at [[BotCon 2010]] that these must have been paint-assignment errors.

:Galvatron's transformation is almost insanely complex for a Deluxe Class figure–and in addition, the toy is notorious for having poor plastic tolerances that make it prone to simply falling apart during transformation. The ''Henkei'' version (see below) is noticeably sturdier.

:Hasbro's print advertisement for this figure (featuring Galvatron in combat with [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sideswipe]]) depicts it with the right arm held away from the body and pointing upwards... which is a pose the toy cannot actually assume, short of digital manipulation and/or breaking and creatively gluing the arm.

:Galvatron has a peculiar 5mm peg smack dab on the top of his turret, which allows him to be held in a most hilarious fashion by other Transformers who can manage the clearance around the turret's fin.

===Henkei! Henkei!===
[[File:Henkei Galvatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|About ten years too late to be the No Limit Records logo.]]
*'''Galvatron''' (Deluxe Class, 2008-[[November 20|11-20]])
**''ID number:'' '''D-06'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''Henkei! Henkei!'' Galvatron is a redeco of ''Universe'' Galvatron. As with all ''Henkei'' releases, TakaraTomy have attempted to make the toy better resemble his cartoon counterpart, so most of the bright orange plastic from the ''Universe'' toy is now black. The shade of purple used on ''Henkei'' Galvatron is the lighter, lavender shade commonly seen on Takara's Galvatron toys, rather than the deeper purple seen on Hasbro's Galvatron toys. The left arm now retains the "correct" robot-mode plastic color, instead of being painted over in tank colors as the Hasbro version was. The gray is also lighter and a cooler shade of gray than the warm shade used on the Hasbro version.

:Galvatron features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] plastic, though in Galvatron's case it is the most random and illogical usage of the gimmick yet in the ''Henkei'' toyline. Galvatron's entire tank turret and the equipment on the vehicle side skirts are vacuum-metallized silver, making him one hell of a blingin' tank. His six-pack... errr, four-pack abs are likewise covered in reddish chrome, a design choice that had also been used on the 2005 "anime-colored" G1 Galvatron reissue and on ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Galvatron]].

:Also of note, the box art on the back of the packaging shows the mythical third "turret" mode, but has no instructions on how to convert the toy into it.

:This redeco of the'' [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Galvatron toy was aimed at being even more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] than the Henkei version shown above. Galvatron now features metallic blue paint on most of his robot body and metallic red on his abdominal plates. His cannon barrel is completely unpainted and translucent, likewise to better resemble both the show and the original toy. He now has Decepticon [[insignia]]s on his robot chest and tank turret, for the first time in the history of the [[mold]].

:All promotional photographs of this piece showed it deliberately mistransformed in vehicle mode, with the cannon left stretched above the turret, apparently to make it look <s>more show-accurate</s> less like a real-world tank.

:Galvatron was sold as part of a "Specialist: Decepticons" [[giftset]] alongside [[Astrotrain (G1)#Generations|Astrotrain]] and [[Octane#Generations|Octane]]. This was a Hasbro Asian market release, with the packaging and paperwork entirely in English.

*'''Nucleon & Galvatron''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Series / Number:'' '''?'''
**''Accessories:'' 'Nucleon' Titan Master partner, cannon

:Galvatron is a new Voyager-class mold as part of the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' subline imprint, partially inspired by Guido Guidi's design from ''[[Spotlight: Galvatron]]''. He transforms into his original cannon mode and also has a third mode as a space fighter. He includes a new "[[Nucleon (Generations)|Nucleon]]" [[Titan Master]] partner that can turn into the robot's head, or can pilot the vehicle modes. Like many of the weapons in the ''Titans Return'' line, his particle cannon features a cockpit for a Titan Master figure; it is undocumented in his instructions, but can be found by simply flipping up the back of the weapon.

:Like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager-class figures, Galvatron has a spring-loaded pop-out adornment to "bulk up" his head to slightly more appropriate proportions. In his case, it's a "mask" of sorts that consists of his signature crown and chinstrap that swings out of his chest. Unfortunately, it doesn't sit flush against his face due to the mask's overall thickness, and has minimal neck articulation, which has the effect of immobilizing the head pretty much entirely. Initial prototypes of the figure showed Nucleon with purple paint applications to help blend in with the surrounding mask, much like the Takara version, but the retail version is entirely unpainted grey plastic.

:Many samples of this mold suffer from the running Titan Master design flaw, leading to loose or overly-tight neck ports. Several purple parts of the figure are in fact black plastic painted purple, the shade of which is visually mismatched from the actual purple plastic.

:The promotional images for this figure, shown above, depict a different sculpt for the crown-mask. This tooling lasted late enough in the development process that it surfaced on [[:File:TR-Galvatron-prototype-alt-mask.jpg|some prototypes]].

**''Accessories'': Gun, Missile, Matrix of Leadership
:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Galvatron is another redeco of the 2008 ''Universe'' Deluxe Class figure, meant to be in "[[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]]" colors but attempting so in a manner slightly different from previous versions. Notably, it features the return of the "mistaken" tank mode paint color on the left arm. It also uses the Decepticon insignia from the [[live-action film series]] instead of the ''Generation 1'' variety.

:Galvatron was available as part of a 2-pack with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#RiseOfRodimus|Rodimus Prime]] (a redeco of the ''[[#Titanium Series|Titanium Series]]'' figure), aptly named "Rise of Rodimus Prime", which also contained a [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Platinum Edition|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, a redeco of the Matrix originally included with ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Optimus Prime_(G1)/toys#mp10|MP-10 Convoy]]/[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10hasbro|Optimus Prime]] which Galvatron can loosely hold in his right hand.

:Like several of the 2016 ''Platinum Edition'' sets, "Rise of Rodimus Prime" saw a very limited release: Basically, the two-pack was released in some of Hasbro's Asian markets, was stocked by some online retailers in the United States that obtain their stock through Asian vendors (such as [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource), and aside from that apparently only ever saw a wider release in ''Brazil'', of all places, where it was also first officially revealed by Hasbro at ABRIN (the Brazilian Toy Fair) in April of 2016.

* '''Galvatron''' (1987, 1997)

:Galvatron was one of three non-transforming ''[[Super Hybrid Model]]'' vinyl figurines created in 1987 by Japanese collectables company [[MC Axis]]. Standing at about eight inches tall and featuring articulation in the neck and shoulders, Galvatron and his fellows ([[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]) were based on their [[Studio OX]] character models, featuring much more anime-styled proportions and detailing.

: While the mass-market release of the ''Super Hybrid Model'' line was cancelled, Galvatron eventually saw the light of day as the exclusive toy for [[BotCon Japan 1997]]. The figure was initially available in two versions: "standard" purple and a translucent orange "lava bath" version limited to 100 pieces. In subsequent years, at least two more versions of this figure would be released for online sale: one that replaced the orange paint on the cannon barrel with an orange molded plastic piece, and another that replaced the entire purple body coloration with royal blue.

==Notes==
[[File:Megalvatron.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|This toy IS a time paradox.]]
* In the [[Toy Fair 1986|1986 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair catalog]], Galvatron's orange cannon is [[:File:ToyFair1986-TFpage09a.jpg|colored dark (either black or a dark purple)]]. Presumably, this version of the toy was based upon his early color model.
* A triple changer was proposed which would switch between a very awkward Galvatron, Megatron, and a Walther P-38 handgun with added futuristic silencer and laser sight. It is notable that the strange "Reverse Megatron" design has a mild resemblance to the also-unproduced Galvatron [[Action Master]], especially in the chest design.
* A Galvatron Action Master was planned at one point, but apparently went no further than a concept sketch. It is only vaguely similar to Galvatron's normal appearance and may possibly have been a "powered up" Galvatron of some sort.

: Galvatron transforms into a Cybertronic treaded field artillery unit with an alternate hand-held gun mode. Using a 9-volt battery, he has a light-up barrel in cannon or gun mode, light-up eyes in robot mode, and three different electronic warbly noises in all of his modes. Galvatron is notable as one of the most well-articulated toys in the ''Generation 1'' line, with ratcheting shoulders and hips, as well as swivel waist, elbows, mid-biceps, knees, and ankle joints. He was also armed with a small, black laser rifle. In Japan, he was released as part of the ''[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]'' sub-line.

: The original Galvatron toy was much later [[redeco]]ed and re-released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] into a sort-of more show-like appearance, being primarily purple instead of gray. His face mold was slightly [[retool]]ed into a more manic, screeching expression, and his electronics were totally overhauled, now running on two AA batteries instead of a 9-volt. Gone are his three different electronic squeals: the three positions of Galvatron's sliding switch now denote a singular laser noise, the transformation sound effect (played forwards and backwards), and five speech clips by his Japanese voice actor, [[Seizō Katō]]: "Wa-ha-ha-ha, kono orokamono-me!" (Bwah ha ha ha! You fools!), "Eei, Cybertron wo hineri-tsubuse!" (Hrr--crush the Autobots!), "Kono yaku-tatazu mono ga!" (You're all useless!), "Eei, hakai shite kureru wa!" (Grrah, I'll destroy you!), and "Destron gundan, transform!" (Decepticon army, transform!). He also comes with a golden redeco of the die-cast [[Matrix of Leadership]] accessory previously included with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#NewYearConvoy|New Year Special Convoy]], which features a small removable chain that allows it to hang around his neck, as seen in the film.

: This version of the mold was later redecoed into the original toy's colors for the [[e-HOBBY]]-exclusive [[Galvatron II]], with a new speech clip.

*'''Galvatron''' (Deluxe Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Galvatron transforms into a tank reminiscent of the [http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/israel/merkava.htm Israel Weapons Industries Merkava] main battle tank with some design elements taken from [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron's]] old [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]]. On the tank turret is the slogan "GALV-25", in reference to the [[franchise]]'s 25th anniversary.

:This toy has many undocumented features in the form of small moving parts that play no role in either mode; most conspicuous are two articulated feet for the tank mode. In one of the [[Hasbro Q&A]] sessions, it was confirmed that these are remnants of an early design version of Galvatron, which would have been at a larger size class and [http://www.toymania.com/news/messages/10873.shtml featured a third mode as a "walking tank."] It is still possible to manipulate his parts into a mode greatly resembling the original concept design.

:There were several odd paint choices used on this figure. The left arm is molded in purple plastic to properly match the rest of the robot mode... but is then painted over in tank-mode grey paint, even though the arm is not visible in tank mode at all. The vehicle mode's wheels are molded in the same translucent orange as the cannon, and then painted over with ''a slightly different shade of orange''. [[Hasbro]] lead designer [[Bill Rawley]] commented at [[BotCon 2010]] that these must have been paint-assignment errors.

:Galvatron's transformation is almost insanely complex for a Deluxe Class figure–and in addition, the toy is notorious for having poor plastic tolerances that make it prone to simply falling apart during transformation. The ''Henkei'' version (see below) is noticeably sturdier.

:Hasbro's print advertisement for this figure (featuring Galvatron in combat with [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sideswipe]]) depicts it with the right arm held away from the body and pointing upwards... which is a pose the toy cannot actually assume, short of digital manipulation and/or breaking and creatively gluing the arm.

:Galvatron has a peculiar 5mm peg smack dab on the top of his turret, which allows him to be held in a most hilarious fashion by other Transformers who can manage the clearance around the turret's fin.

*'''Galvatron''' (Deluxe Class, 2008-[[November 20|11-20]])
**''ID number:'' '''D-06'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''Henkei! Henkei!'' Galvatron is a redeco of ''Universe'' Galvatron. As with all ''Henkei'' releases, TakaraTomy have attempted to make the toy better resemble his cartoon counterpart, so most of the bright orange plastic from the ''Universe'' toy is now black. The shade of purple used on ''Henkei'' Galvatron is the lighter, lavender shade commonly seen on Takara's Galvatron toys, rather than the deeper purple seen on Hasbro's Galvatron toys. The left arm now retains the "correct" robot-mode plastic color, instead of being painted over in tank colors as the Hasbro version was. The gray is also lighter and a cooler shade of gray than the warm shade used on the Hasbro version.

:Galvatron features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] plastic, though in Galvatron's case it is the most random and illogical usage of the gimmick yet in the ''Henkei'' toyline. Galvatron's entire tank turret and the equipment on the vehicle side skirts are vacuum-metallized silver, making him one hell of a blingin' tank. His six-pack... errr, four-pack abs are likewise covered in reddish chrome, a design choice that had also been used on the 2005 "anime-colored" G1 Galvatron reissue and on ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Galvatron]].

:Also of note, the box art on the back of the packaging shows the mythical third "turret" mode, but has no instructions on how to convert the toy into it.

*'''Nucleon & Galvatron''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Series / Number:'' '''?'''
**''Accessories:'' 'Nucleon' Titan Master partner, cannon

:Galvatron is a new Voyager-class mold as part of the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' subline imprint, partially inspired by Guido Guidi's design from ''[[Spotlight: Galvatron]]''. He transforms into his original cannon mode and also has a third mode as a space fighter. He includes a new "[[Nucleon (Generations)|Nucleon]]" [[Titan Master]] partner that can turn into the robot's head, or can pilot the vehicle modes. Like many of the weapons in the ''Titans Return'' line, his particle cannon features a cockpit for a Titan Master figure; it is undocumented in his instructions, but can be found by simply flipping up the back of the weapon.

:Like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager-class figures, Galvatron has a spring-loaded pop-out adornment to "bulk up" his head to slightly more appropriate proportions. In his case, it's a "mask" of sorts that consists of his signature crown and chinstrap that swings out of his chest. Unfortunately, it doesn't sit flush against his face due to the mask's overall thickness, and has minimal neck articulation, which has the effect of immobilizing the head pretty much entirely. Initial prototypes of the figure showed Nucleon with purple paint applications to help blend in with the surrounding mask, much like the Takara version, but the retail version is entirely unpainted grey plastic.

:Many samples of this mold suffer from the running Titan Master design flaw, leading to loose or overly-tight neck ports. Several purple parts of the figure are in fact black plastic painted purple, the shade of which is visually mismatched from the actual purple plastic.

:The promotional images for this figure, shown above, depict a different sculpt for the crown-mask. This tooling lasted late enough in the development process that it surfaced on [[:File:TR-Galvatron-prototype-alt-mask.jpg|some prototypes]].

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Galvatron is another redeco of the 2008 ''Universe'' Deluxe Class figure, meant to be in "[[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]]" colors but attempting so in a manner slightly different from previous versions. Notably, it features the return of the "mistaken" tank mode paint color on the left arm. It also uses the Decepticon insignia from the [[live-action film series]] instead of the ''Generation 1'' variety.

:Galvatron was available as part of a 2-pack with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#RiseOfRodimus|Rodimus Prime]] (a redeco of the ''[[#Titanium Series|Titanium Series]]'' figure), aptly named "Rise of Rodimus Prime", which also contained a [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Platinum Edition|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, a redeco of the Matrix originally included with ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Optimus Prime_(G1)/toys#mp10|MP-10 Convoy]]/[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10hasbro|Optimus Prime]] which Galvatron can loosely hold in his right hand.

:Like several of the 2016 ''Platinum Edition'' sets, "Rise of Rodimus Prime" saw a very limited release: Basically, the two-pack was released in some of Hasbro's Asian markets, was stocked by some online retailers in the United States that obtain their stock through Asian vendors (such as [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource), and aside from that apparently only ever saw a wider release in ''Brazil'', of all places, where it was also first officially revealed by Hasbro at ABRIN (the Brazilian Toy Fair) in April of 2016.

The watch featured Galvatron's torso with a clock in his chest. It included a mechanism whereby when a lever was pushed, the tiny Galvatron torso "transformed" into a full tiny Galvatron figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate. In Japan, these were considered "roleplay" items representing [[wrist-communicator]]s.

*'''Galvatron''' (1986)

:Released in the fourth ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (franchise)|Transformers 2010]]''-centric wave of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' [[candy toy]]s, this version of Galvatron is a small, transformable model kit made of one solid color plastic, available in various colors including blue, red and green. As with all the ''Transformers Choco'' figures, he came with "Chocolate Dots", small candies similar to M&Ms.

:Though not depicted in this photo, it is possible to mount Galvatron's cannon barrel on his arm in robot mode.

*'''Galvatron''' (1986)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, particle cannon, particle cannon connector

:Galvatron also had a presence in Kabaya's line of larger ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' model kits. Released as part of the line's fifth wave, Galvatron is molded in red, silver, and black plastic, lacking in paint applications but featuring stickers for detail. Like most ''Transformers Gum'' model kits, Galvatron is essentially a downsized version of the regular toy, featuring all its accessories. As the name suggests, rather than chocolate, Galvatron came with a stick of gum.

===Transformers Ramune===
[[File:Decoy galvatron.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Galvatron''' (1986)

:While no figure of Galvatron was released by Hasbro as part of their 1987 [[Decoy]] promotion, the Decepticon leader did have a soft rubber figure crafted in his image that was available exclusive in Japan, as part of a second wave of the figures released there by [[Kabaya]], along with other ''Transformers 2010'' characters. Like the other figures in this series, Galvatron was sold in a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] box as part of the ''[[Transformers Ramune]]'' series, and was available in multiple colors, including red, blue and yellow.

===Forms Robo===
*'''Galvatron''' (1987)

:Galvatron was also part of the small ''[[Forms Robo]]'' collection of larger rubber figures, with this version of the character standing at around twice the height of a regular Decoy. Like the other figures in this series, Galvatron was packaged in an individual baggie and was available in red, blue, green and yellow.

:A vinyl figurine of Galvatron, in a primarily-grey toy-based color scheme, was released by [[Seven]] and sold in a two-pack with a similar figure of Rodimus Prime. It featured articulation at the shoulders.

*'''Galvatron''' (1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''T-02'''
:This vinyl figurine of Galvatron was one of two entries in the ''[[Talkformers]]'' line. Featuring only two points of articulation in the shoulders, it spoke four pullstring-activated Japanese phrases, spoken by Galvatron's Japanese voice actor, [[Seizō Katō]]. These four phrases were later recycled for the 2006 reissue of the original Galvatron toy.

===Super Hybrid Model===
[[File:SHBMGalv1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I can't transform? This is YOUR fault, Cyclonus!]]

* '''Galvatron''' (1987, 1997)

:Galvatron was one of three non-transforming ''[[Super Hybrid Model]]'' vinyl figurines created in 1987 by Japanese collectables company [[MC Axis]]. Standing at about eight inches tall and featuring articulation in the neck and shoulders, Galvatron and his fellows ([[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]) were based on their [[Studio OX]] character models, featuring much more anime-styled proportions and detailing.

: While the mass-market release of the ''Super Hybrid Model'' line was cancelled, Galvatron eventually saw the light of day as the exclusive toy for [[BotCon Japan 1997]]. The figure was initially available in two versions: "standard" purple and a translucent orange "lava bath" version limited to 100 pieces. In subsequent years, at least two more versions of this figure would be released for online sale: one that replaced the orange paint on the cannon barrel with an orange molded plastic piece, and another that replaced the entire purple body coloration with royal blue.

===Parody Deformed===
[[File:Pdtype galvatron.jpg|thumb|I was this short in Japan? Damn.]]
*'''Galvatron''' (1990)
:A small solid blue, non-transforming super deformed model kit of Galvatron was available as part of Kabaya's "[[Parody Deformed]]" line of candy toys. The fifth figure of the fourth wave (the nineteenth figure overall), he came with a "[[Transformers PD Type]]" comic about himself, "Two In One! Lord Galvatron", and Chocolate Dots.

===Super Collection Figure===
[[File:PVCGalvyMetalChase.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|PVC in this case means Probably Very Crazy.]]
* '''Galvatron''' (2001)

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Galvatron was available in the second wave of Takara's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the "act", it was available as both a standard full color figure and a colorless translucent version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

* '''Galvatron''' (2002)

:The Galvatron PVC was redecoed in a metallic paint scheme for the sixth wave of the ''Super Collection Figure'' series, where it was available as a rare [[chase figure]] included in only one case out of every twelve.

===Heroes of Cybertron===
*'''Galvatron''' (2003)

:''Super Collection Figure'' Galvatron was later released as part of Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series, cast entirely in clear-red plastic then painted over (giving it a lightpipe-like glowing eye effect). Available in the third wave of the line, he was sold in blister packaging rather than blindpacking, and included a character card.

:Released in the second wave of the ''[[MyClone]]'' line of Transformers PVC figures, this [[super deformed]] Galvatron comes with a hexagonal purple display stand, which can link up with the identical stands included with other MyClone figures. His modular design allows his parts to be mixed and matched with those of any other MyClone figure.

:Purchasers of ''MyClone'' Galvatron also ran the chance of finding within the box not the standard cartoon-colours figure, but a translucent orange "lava" chase figure, paying homage to Galvatron's plasma bath from "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2]]".

[[File:BottlecapGalvatron.jpg|thumb|How dare [[Pepsi Convoy]]?!]]

*'''Galvatron''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-5'''
**''Accessories:'' Display base

:At only one inch in height, this Galvatron "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers [[Generation 1 Figure-Collection]]. The figure was rendered in a "retro" black and white color scheme, and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.

* '''Galvatron''' (Diamond Select, 2008)
: The first large Galvatron merchandise item to see release in U.S. markets was this bust, sculpted by [[Art Asylum]] and released by [[Diamond Select Toys]] in 2008. It is a static depiction of Galvatron's head and collar region, limited to 1,000 pieces.

[[File:DST09 Galvatron bust.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Hadooken!]]
* '''Galvatron''' (Diamond Select, 2009)
: Released by Diamond Select Toys in 2009, Galvatron was sculpted by [[Mark Wong]] of Art Asylum and limited to 1,000 pieces. He has his particle cannon posed forward either at an Autobot or perhaps one of his own underlings. His base is the planet devouring [[Unicron]] who originally created him from the dying [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron.]]

===Tiny Titans===
[[File:Robots-In-Disguise-Tiny-Titans-Galvatron.jpg|thumb|Gee Galvatron, why does Unicron let you have two guns?]]
*'''Galvatron''' (Tiny Titans, 2015)
**''Series'': '''4'''
**''Number: '''10/12'''
:Released in the fourth wave of the blind bagged Robots in Disguise "Tiny Titans" series, this non-articulated figurine features minimal paint apps, consisting of the face, the orange of the cannon, and the silver of the legs. Unlike its depiction in the CGI render, the released version does sport a molded Decepticon symbol on the chest.

==Notes==
[[File:Megalvatron.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|This toy IS a time paradox.]]
* In the [[Toy Fair 1986|1986 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair catalog]], Galvatron's orange cannon is [[:File:ToyFair1986-TFpage09a.jpg|colored dark (either black or a dark purple)]]. Presumably, this version of the toy was based upon his early color model.
* A triple changer was proposed which would switch between a very awkward Galvatron, Megatron, and a Walther P-38 handgun with added futuristic silencer and laser sight. It is notable that the strange "Reverse Megatron" design has a mild resemblance to the also-unproduced Galvatron [[Action Master]], especially in the chest design.
* A Galvatron Action Master was planned at one point, but apparently went no further than a concept sketch. It is only vaguely similar to Galvatron's normal appearance and may possibly have been a "powered up" Galvatron of some sort.

}}
'''HasCon 2017''', the first [[HasCon]] convention, was held in Providence, Rhode Island from [[September 8]] through [[September 10|10]], [[2017]]. As an expo/celebration of ''all'' brands that [[Hasbro]] owns or licenses across all age groups, ''Transformers'' had a significant presence.

==Venue==
[[File:HasCon17 TF Area 1.jpg|right|200px|thumb|MY TINY HANDS AND I WELCOME YOU TO HASCON.]]
[[File:HasCon17 DunkinDonutsCenter.jpg|right|thumb|200px|]]

The convention was held at the [http://www.riconvention.com/ Rhode Island Convention Center] for the main show floor, gaming rooms and smaller panels, with the adjacent [http://www.dunkindonutscenter.com/ Dunkin' Donuts Center] arena used for the larger presentations and concerts. Several of the snack vendors at the arena were open for business that weekend.

The main show floor, on the first level of the Convention Center, was broken up into large areas for each brand. These "Brand Experience" areas contained toy display cases, prop displays, and numerous play-tables covered in toys, along with small stages for presentations, autographs sessions, and audience-participation games. There were face-painting and hair styling stations scattered throughout the floor as well. ''Transformers'' was the first section seen from the main entrance to the floor (and yes there was a face-painting station there to robot-ize up your kids); going forward led to [[Marvel Comics]] and ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', while going right went through the games area and into ''[[My Little Pony]]'', ''[[Hanazuki]]'', and the like, with [[Nerf]] on the far wall opposite, with plenty of firing ranges and an inflated enclosed combat zone. The not-actually-owned-by-Hasbro licenses were of course pushed more to the back of the hall but still given lots of space.

In the center of the floor was the "Boutique", where Hasbro sold retail toys (at wholesale price), as well as convention-exclusive posters, clothing and other swag, with a separate booth specifically for HasCon-exclusive "collector" toys and items (though over the course of the weekend that stock would filter into the normal checkout areas).

The main hallway outside the show floor was filled with guest services kiosks, food vendors, and other companies on display, as well as autograph areas for the less-directly-Hasbro-related guests. Near the escalators, a number of ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' display cases held concept art, double-sized paint masters, movie props and other memorabilia. The back end of the hall was the "Hascade", featuring free-play stations for numerous Hasbro-branded mobile games, arcade games, and the like.

The upper floor held the ''Magic: The Gathering'' play room, full of tables where a tournament went on all weekend. Next to it was both "Artist's Alley" (containing [[Ken Christiansen]], [[Dan Khanna]], and [[Marcelo Matere]], among others) and a small dealer section, primarily populated by people selling their art and hand-crafted wares, but there were a few of the normal toy resellers there to boot. Most importantly in that room though was the Dunkin' Donuts tent that offered free donut holes and small cups of Monster energy drinks all weekend. On the other end of the hall was the "FANmily Stage Room" and the "Discovery Family Stage", smaller conference rooms that held panels all weekend. The hall on this floor also contained the VIP and press lounges, a secondary HasCon "Boutique", other companies displaying their services, and food vendors.

Outside, the area between the convention center and arena was dedicated to picnic tables with a barbecue lunch vendor, as well as the original 2007 [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] truck. On the street in front were a few other vehicles, including a large [[Tonka]]-branded dump truck.

Semi-technically, Hasbro's whole staff were guests, as they were brought in to cover their brands' booths and answer questions, just as they did during [[BotCon]]s. Many also attended panels for their brands and fields of work, including several [[TakaraTomy]] employees. Artist [[Sara Pitre-Durocher]] was also originally scheduled to attend, but unfortunately could not make it.

==Events==
HasCon had a very full and very varied schedule of panels and events all weekend, but we'll keep our focus on the ''Transformers''-related stuff. The complete ''planned'' schedule can be found [https://hascon.hasbro.com/schedule here] (with a caveat that some panels and such changed times over the course of the weekend for one reason or another).

===Friday September 8===
[[File:HasCon17 ToyPanel-crew.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]
:'''More than Meets the Eye'''
:*''Location'': HASCON Main Stage, 11:30am
:*''Panel Guests'': [[Michelino Paolino]], [[Lenny Panzica]], [[Shogo Hasui]], [[Sean Carmine Isabella]], [[Takashi Kunihiro]], [[Daizo Uehara]], [[John Warden]], [[Hideaki Yoke]]

:Hasbro and [[TakaraTomy]] employees discussed their work on the various ''Transformers'' toylines of 2016, with a look into 2017. Began with talking about the technical issues of designing two ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)| The Last Knight]]'' sublines; the [[AllSpark Tech]] series and Knight Armor [[Turbo Changer]]s. With AllSpark Tech, the physical space needs of the activation cube had to be accounted for, plus ''every'' phrase and sound effect for ''every'' toy had to be plotted out for each motion, as the whole point of the line was that a single cube will work with every figure. The Knight Armor helmets needed to be impressive reveals, with the helmets matching the characters' aesthetics; [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s was meant to evoke a necromancer, while [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]]'s blended the medieval with military.

:Next they discussed the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)| Robots in Disguise]]'' combiners, which were designed from the get-go to ensure kids got a complete combiner with every single purchase. The design process actually started with sketching the combined robot modes, melding the components' design cues and blending them together, then refining those looks with the show production crew. There were multiple mechanical issues to work out: they wanted an emphasis on "big action" and interchangeability. They had to design a new universal joint to make that work (forgiving of course some toys only changing into certain combiner parts), as well as where one holds the toy when combining, to avoid auto-transforming parts pinching unwary fingers. Sean, the Senior Designer for ''Robots in Disguise'', elaborated on his love of jet-robots and his desire to add to their ranks with the all-new character [[Stormshot]], even if he wasn't a combiner.

:Then it was ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', which was largely a new product reveal, focusing primarily on the new [[Dinobot (G1)#Power of the Primes|Dinobots]]. A number of small but important details got revealed here, including Slash being a female Dinobot, and the group's use of clear plastic with gold-painted inner walls to simulate the original toys' distinct clear-plastic-over-vac-metal look. The Dinobots were also revealed as combiners, forming [[Volcanicus#Toys|Volcanicus]]. They noted some improvements over the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' combiners, with a big priority of hiding the combiner joints in robot mode, plus the new combiner foot-parts would include rocker-ankle joints of the kind found on [[Victorion#Toys|Victorion]].

:Next came the Leader-class figures, with the reveal of the new [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|Leader-class Orion Pax/Optimus Prime]] toy! The truck cab becomes the first Orion Pax toy sculpted to resemble the original [[Floro Dery]] animation model, and forms the core of the larger Optimus Prime toy, whose very ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece| Masterpiece]]''-like body is made up from the trailer unit. These designs required some trickery to get the weight balances and silhouettes right, which results in Optimus having an "outer" window-chest that opens to reveal an "inner" window-chest which opens to reveal a socket for the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] accessory. Speaking of silhouettes, the section ended with a silhouette "teaser" for [[Predaking (G1)#Power of the Primes|Predaking]], to be "properly" revealed at [[Toy Fair]].

:This panel was not originally in this timeslot, but was moved within a few days of the event due to a travel issue with the Marvel team that was originally slated for this spot. As the very first panel of the show on a Friday with people in an exclusives line, it was lightly attended (and in the huge used-for-basketball-games Dunkin' Donuts Center), leading to a worrying first impression... but the next day's attendance would shatter those impressions. On the other hand, the Hasbro crew remarked that it was nice to be able to put everything into the display cases so early in the weekend.

:This one brought 'em in. Opened with Lorenzo di Bonaventura and John Warden discussing the beginnings of the movie franchise and its evolution, up to the in-production [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] spin-off movie. Discussion covered how they were trying for a different feel to the movie altogether, not looking to replicate the "Bayhem", and the horrendous hairstyles of the 1980s.

:Isabela Moner was brought out, and talked about her experiences on the set. She sent in her audition tape somewhat late in casting, and was almost immediately picked over the production team's then-current top contender out of a field of over 50 actresses. She really wanted the role and felt that her being so physically small but playing such a tough, determined character would be inspirational to kids. And there was plenty of gushing over [[Anthony Hopkins]]. Moner noted Mark Wahlberg being a protective guy, including staring down some of her male friends ("emphasis on ''friends''") who were visiting on-set.

:And then Wahlberg came out and the crowd went ''ballistic''. He talked about being brought in after working on Bay's ''Pain & Gain'', the physical challenges of being on a Bay shoot... and some chuckling over how his kids are a little grumpy over daddy being so recognizable as a big-time movie star. Makes it hard to not be swamped when picking them up from school.

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

He also ''became'' a truck later on. Funny, that is.

==Toys==

====Legends Class toys====
[[File:Movie Legends Megatron toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|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 [[alternate mode|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). Due to his transformation scheme, he has swiveling waist.

:The figure is misassembled in package with the arms being swapped putting paint applications and more sculpted detail on the wrong sides of his arms; it is a simple matter to rectify this though as they are on rather loose ball joints at the shoulder and are easily popped off and swapped round. It should be noted that the arms & head is molded in softer, rubbery plastic, and it was unknown if they would harden and break just like [[Scorponok (Movie)#Legends_Class_toys|Scorponok]].

[[File:Movie Voyager Megatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey, I think I'm as weird as the ''[[Transformers: The War Within|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.

: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 parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.

:The stock photo on the toy's packaging depicts Megatron with the unused head that appeared in some concept art. However, the rest of the figure's body is still modeled after the final character model.

[[File:Movie Voyager Premium Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Wouldn't the toy above be much cooler with duller colours?]]
*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:One of the first figures available in the ''[[Premium Series]]'' (although not explicitly identified 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)/toys|Starscream]].

[[File:Movie Voyager BOMC Megatron.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Battle Over Mission City''' ("Screen Battles" two-pack, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:A Target exclusive redeco 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)#TargetvsMegatron|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)/toys|Optimus Prime]], it can be assumed that those two sets are meant to also represent the climactic final battle at the end of the film.

====Leader Class toys====
[[File:Movie Leader Megatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Ohhhh! I turn into a big-boned guy!"]]
*'''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 "[[Rocket Claw]]" disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "[[mace|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 hand (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 stealing the spring from his left arm would disable his fusion cannon-retracting Automorph.

{{anchor|Premium}}
[[File:Premium Movie Megs.JPG|upright=1.66|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.

*'''Fusion Blast Megatron''' ([[Fast Action Battlers|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.

:The figure's packaging depicts Megatron with a different head sculpt and silver paint instead of unpainted gray plastic.

====Jollibee Kids Meal====
*'''Megatron''' (Jollibee Kids Meal toy, 2007)

:Available only at Jollibee fast food chains in the Philippines, this Megatron toy is functionally an upscaled version of his Legends class figure though with minor transformation differences. It also has a new head sculpt which is markedly more detailed than the Legends toy but still has the concept design head rather than the final version in the film.

*'''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. Speaking of legs, this Legends Class Megatron is somewhat prone to falling down with a light breeze of wind. The kibble on his robot mode back doesn't help the balancing at all.

:Megatron also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' EZ Collection sets. And like all first waves, He comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline.

*'''Megatron''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The second mainline ''[[Transformers: 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 turns internal gears in his chest, while bending his right elbow makes a blade extend in and out of his claw.

*'''Gathering At the 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 in a scheme basically identical to the first movie's Voyager "Premium Series" version (but with much fewer paint details), as well as the Voyager-Class [[The Fallen#GatheringNemesis|The Fallen]] and a redeco of Deluxe-Class [[Soundwave (ROTF)#GatheringNemesis|Soundwave]]. The back of the box and samples shown before release portrayed this Megatron as using the unrevised original head design from the first film, but the final version has the same head as past Voyager-Class Megatrons.

:Both Megatron and the accompanying Jet Power Optimus Prime would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]]. Of amusement is the fact the comics are essentially showcasing toys that have been canceled.

====Leader Class toys====
[[File:ROTF Leader Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|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]]ry 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)/toys|while]] [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|other]] [[Demolishor (ROTF)|figures]] in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' line suffered mold simplifications from budget cuts, Megatron got mold ''additions''. Hasbro'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.

*'''Shadow Command Megatron''' (Leader, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Shadow Command Megatron, as the name suggests, is a mostly black redeco of Leader class Megatron, which much resembles the previous Fast Action Battlers ''Night Attack Megatron'' redeco. The figure sports more paint applications than the first release. The voice chip has been changed, instead of saying "I am Megatron!" like the initial release, it says "There is no command but mine!". The blast sound effect has also been changed to a laser sound, and a G1-esque sound effect plays when rotating Megatron's legs during transformation.

:Initial shipments of Shadow Command Megatron have a minor misassembly in his right shoulder that causes the laser sound effect to go off only when his arm is pointing backwards, as opposed to forward. It is fixable, but only after knocking out a pin.

*'''Cannon Blast Megatron''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)
**''Accessories'': Projectile

:A much simpler version of Megatron, this figure transforms by putting his arms behind his back and folding in half at the waist, more or less. His right arm has a spring-launched missile fired via a switch on the side, as well a soft plastic blade that can be folded out. Twisting the figure's right arm produces a chopping action. Due to the weird design of the feet and weight distribution, Megatron is difficult to stand up unless he is hunched forward.

*'''Megatron''' (Cyberverse Commander, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''003'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV07'''
**''Accessories:'' Fuel tank halves/Double Cannons

:[[Cyberverse]] Commander Class Megatron is an abbreviated version of his Voyager counterpart, transforming into a single piece fuel tanker. The fuel tank splits in half, forming hand-held double cannons which then can be combined into a large cannon. The [[C joint]] mounting clip of the fuel tank is on a swivel, allowing the large cannon to be mounted onto the smokestacks and used in vehicle mode. His head is also on a pivot joint, allowing him to look up and down.

:Care must be taken while forming the rear cabin: The instructions tell you to fold the feet panels up after transforming the legs first, but it will cause some slight stress marks on the feet panels/smokestacks' joints. We recommend folding the panels up first while the legs are still separated.

*'''Megatron''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Fusion Cannon]], tarp/cape

:Megatron now transforms into a <s>disfigured Mad Max truck</s> officially licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and trailer, although it lacks many of the features in the movie, such as the spikes on the roof and the rope mesh on the hood. The forward half of the trailer-mounted oil tank converts into Megatron's [[MechTech]] Blaster, which in turn converts into a Fusion Cannon when the ladder is pushed in. Like all MechTech Voyager toys, his weapon can lock into this mode by pushing the ladder all the way in and rotating it to the right. Megatron has six MechTech [[5mm post]]/MechTech ports in vehicle mode, including three on his MechTech weapon, two on the steps below the truck cab doors, and a self-covering port (which automatically fills in the hole when a weapon is not inserted) on the roof. Though the truck cab and its "trailer" are a single entity that cannot be separated, Megatron does have an articulation joint between where the trailer and cab connect where the fifth wheel hitch would be, despite being formed from his independently-jointed legs.

:The rubbery tarp over the tanker is a two piece affair, with a detachable 'hood' accessory that slots into a port beside Megatron's neck. This deliberately obscures Megatron's badly mutilated face, a callback to the injuries he received at the climax of ''Revenge of the Fallen''. In [[robot mode]], two more MechTech ports become available on his legs, and two on the truck steps end up on his arms; all other MechTech ports from vehicle mode are still usable. Megatron's fusion cannon can even be mounted on his back, like in the movie, thanks to the truck's cab (and associated MechTech port) winding up on his back. Care should be taken when transforming the shoulders, as the tiny Mack dog hood ornament is prone to being snapped off by the shifting black bumper section. It is also quite difficult to get his chest to tab into his shoulder panels due to his arms getting in the way, and his already short pegs having to tab into very shallow holes.

:Megatron is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:The gun from the Evasion Mode Optimus Prime toy, released several years after, is intended to be compatible with this figure-not only is it sculpted to resemble the shotgun Megs used (twice) in the movie, a tab on the handle (not the post that was supposed to be the handle for ''Age of Extinction'' Optimus) allows him to wield it properly by slotting onto a slot on his hand. It even has 5mm posts on its side so that it can mount in movie-accurate fashion on his back!

**''Accessories'': Megatron cannon

: The movie Megatron [[Kreon]] is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' body, as that's the one that shows up in the Ride (and as a photo-opportunity "mascot" character on the park grounds). He was available exclusively in a box set sold at the ''[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]'' gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies (and a logo-plate rather than the older 2x4 logo-brick). Megatron's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged.

: Where the other park-exclusive toys can be purchased through Universal's online store, the ''[[Kre-O]]'' pack is ''only'' available at the park proper at the time of this writing.

: Part of the second wave of ''Age of Extinction'' [[Kreon#Custom Kreons|Custom Kreon]]s, Galvatron comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His "normal" helmet and two drills (attached to clip-on turbines/cannons) are [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]], plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens) and a spare hand, plus buildable tread-backpack, and a pistol (originally a Klingon disruptor from ''Kre-O [[Star Trek]]'').

His cannon can either be held like a gun or fitted on his hand in a way that appears as if it is coming out of his arm.

:Galvatron's package is the only packaging in the Age of Extinction toyline thus far that neglects to mention what his alternate mode is called. The only mention of Freightliner being involved with his alternate mode is in the tiny copyright information section of the box.

:The ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version adds some additional paint applications for a more screen-accurate look, most notably, a darker face with yellowish-red eyes.

His only articulation is the elbows, and he features 5mm compatible hands. He also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which consists of his mask popping out to his head with the press of the button on his chest.

:''Mission to Cybertron'' Megatron is a redeco/new head retool of [[Megatron_(G1)/toys#Deluxe|''Generations'' Thrilling 30 Megatron]] (and also the first Deluxe Class Movie Megatron toy that's not a [[Fast Action Battler]]), featuring a new head based on his appearance in the movie, albeit in a ''Generation 1''-ish style. He transforms from robot into Don Figueroa's stealth bomber design from IDW Publishing's The Transformers ongoing series (which resembles a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit). In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his fusion cannon. The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. Many figures were erroneously released with [[Quality control|two left fists]]. The instructions still depict his original mold's head.

:As with most Mission to Cybertron figures, Megatron features Cyberglyphics on both sides of the wings/fusion cannon, which translate to his own name. He also comes with a card, with the glyphs being decoded as "ENERGON", while the back features a piece (which includes Megatron) for the 6-part Mission to Cybertron poster.

:The figure also saw release in Japan, also as a Toys"R"Us exclusive, without any changes from the American release. This mold was also used to make ''Generations'' [[Dreadwing (G2)#Generations|Dreadwing]] & ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Krok (G1)#Timelines|Krok]].

**''Accessories'': Sword-axe
:Released in the second wave of ''Premier Edition'' Voyagers, Megatron is a new mold which transforms from robot to Cybertronian jet. It is armed with a weapon resembling the [http://www.higgins-collection.org/artifacts/1605 Ikakalaka] weapon, and it can be stored on the robot's back which also can end up under the cockpit in jet mode if left place, or may be stored on the jet's top. It also features a non-removable fusion cannon on the right forearm. While the figure appears nearly black in promotional images, it's actually a metallic graphite gray with darker gunmetal gray paint applications. As with the other TLK Megatron figure, this one lacks the red facial "scar" from the film, but has red light piping in the eyes, forehead... and neck! The jet mode cockpit is also cast in transparent red. The port on the robot back/jet undercarriage is compatible with most figure flight stands. The jet mode lacks any sort of landing gear. There is a minor variant, in regards to the Decepticon symbol. While the stock photos and vast majority of the release feature the Decepticon symbol as it appears with its movie styling, some copies have been found sporting the traditional Decepticon logo, with the difference being in the eyes.

:Some stock photos depict Megatron's sword handle as being an unpainted red, however the final release and later stock photos have it the same color as the rest of the sword. The stock renders also depict the sword's bladed section and several body details being painted silver.

:The figure saw release in Japan as a Toys"R"Us exclusive. As with most Wave 2 Deluxes and Voyagers, Megatron's release was delayed in some territories, leading to [[scalping]] on the aftermarket.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TLK-19'''
**''Accessories'': Sword-axe, Fusion Cannon, two flame effects

:Part of the first wave of ''Premier Edition'' Leader Class figures, Megatron changes from Cybertronian jet to robot and back. He includes a large sword-axe which can store on his back in robot mode, and on the top of his jet in his vehicle form. In addition, he also comes with two flame effects which can plug into his turbine exhausts in jet mode or his arm-mounted fusion cannon in robot mode. On the back of his head there is a lever that can be pulled up to rotate a portion of his head, and close in the tusks to form his battle mask. In jet mode, he has an opening cockpit and his nosecone can be opened up to expose the fusion cannon by the push of a button right behind the cockpit. Because this action is spring-loaded and the two halves of the nosecone are made of soft plastic, it does not hold together well.
:His battle axe was redecoed as a promotional campaign, which uses gold chrome.
:From all of the releases of the Megatron toys above, this Leader Class figure currently bears the largest jet mode in the lineup.

:While some [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]] painted samples show Megatron with a dark, metallic color scheme, the final product features light grey plastic.

:Unsurprisingly, the stock photo to the right isn't fully transformed in the legs (making them look long and flat). The toes have the capability to split in two, the back "heel" half of the foot must be folded down for accuracy, and the kibble that forms his face-guard in tank mode helps balance the feet out.

====Lunchables====
* '''Megatron''' ("Pocket Transformers" toy prize, 2007)

: A sort of "pseudo-figure" of Megatron cast in dark gray plastic, Megatron "transforms" from a flat structure emblazoned with the Decepticon symbol and the word "Transformers" to a robot by folding out. Megatron is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". Said artwork is based on earlier promotional artwork of Megatron, and thus features a different head than the finalized version. His name is also spelled out across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Blackout (Movie)#Lunchables|Blackout]] and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Starscream]]. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Optimus]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Bumblebee]], though with the Autobot symbol sculpted in instead of the Decepticon one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

====Burger King====
*'''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.

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).

: 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.

: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).

:Strangley, the head sculpt of this figure is reused on the Stealth Force version of the character.

====Battle Chargers====
[[File:ROTF-toy BattleChargers Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|''Two'' faces? Optimus is going to have a field day with this.]]
* '''Megatron''' (Battle Charger, 2010)

:Part of the [[Robot Powered Machines]] subline, Battle Charger Megatron is a rounded-off tank with a [[pull-back motor]]. When pulled back and let go, his turret flips open and a cutesified depiction of his robot mode pops out. Amusingly, because of the tank mode featuring Megatron's face, he ends up with two faces in "robot mode".

*'''Autobot Ratchet VS Megatron''' (2009)
**''Series:'' '''Battle Series'''
**''Number:'' '''05 of 08'''

:[[Robot Powered Machines]] Megatron is a non-transforming ''Hot-Wheels''-scale version of his tank-mode. Megatron's robot mode is sculpted on the bottom of the tank, along with his faction symbol and name. He features a rotating tank turret, but the cannon is constructed out of [[for safety reasons|softer materials]], which makes it droop down and look sort of... depressed. This deco was only available in a two-pack with [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys|Ratchet]].

**''Series:'' '''Battle Series 2'''
**''Number:'' '''05 of 06'''

:This two-pack contains a metallic blue [[redeco]] of ''RPM'' Megatron and a barely altered [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]].

:Unusually, the stock photography on the cardback depicts a Megatron redeco in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Shadow Command" Megatron color scheme. This particular redeco did not in fact see release in any form.

:As part of the final wave of RPMs, Battle Series 2 did not get released through normal retail outlets in the United States, instead showing up for sale first in Canada, Asia and Europe. Later, though, it would show up in the US though [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs Express]] mall stores and discount chains like Ross and TJ Maxx.

:"Robot Riders" Megatron is a new-mold figure of Megatron's robot mode that is built to roll on wheels. Though officially listed during the run of the ''RPM'' series (on the back of the Asian market release of ''RPM'' "Robot Riders" Sideswipe) and seen at [[Toy Fair 2010]], it never came out in any market.

:A redeco of "Robot Riders" Megatron in blue. While "Allspark" Megatron was officially listed during the run of the ''RPM'' series (on the back of the Asian market release of ''RPM'' "Allspark" Starscream), the only image of it was revealed by a downloadable poster on the official Transformers website of Turkey.

====McDonald's====
{{picsneeded}}
*'''Megatron''' (Happy Meal, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' missile

:Part of the 2010 [[McDonald's]] Revenge of the Fallen promotion, Megatron does not transform but fires a projectile instead. Megatron does not feature [[light-piping]] but has 5 points of articulation! He was only available during week 2 of the promotion, and came with an instruction sheet that doubles as an ad for [[McWorld]], featuring an exclusive code for the website.

===Robot Heroes===
[[File:Robot Heroes Ratchet vs Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|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)
[[File:Robotheroesfinalbattle.jpg|upright=1.66|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)
[[File:Robotheroesjazzmegatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|PRIIIIIIME!]]
:The second mold, sharing no parts with the first release. His right arm has transformed into the [[mace|flail]], 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 flail bonking. He was packaged with Jazz.

*'''Autobot Skids and Megatron''' (2009)
[[File:RobotHeroes SkidsMegatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"I've talked things over with my new homie Meggy, and he says he won't be shootin' any of us! Will you, Meggy?"]]
: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]].

*'''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".

: While Battle Series 2 of [[Robot Powered Machines]] wasn't widely released in the US, it became part of the follow-up line ''[[Speed Stars]]'' instead. The Jetfire vs. Megatron set contains various differences from the RPM release, however, such as less paint details.

:''Speed Stars'' "Robot Riders" Megatron is a metallic bronze and purple redeco of the new-mold robot mode figure originally planned for release in the ''RPM'' line.

:"Road Assault" Megatron was listed on the back of ''Speed Stars'' "Road Assault" Starscream, but was never depicted anywhere. Since the rest of the Road Assault Series was based on the cancelled ''RPM'' "Allspark Series", it's likely that it was to have been a redeco of the "Robot Riders" mold.

**''Accessories:'' Missile

: Part of the "Stealth Force" subline, this Megatron also has no robot mode, but makes up for it with a number of hidden weapons that flip out of his tank mode at the press of a button. His tank turret can fire a missile, while all the hidden weapons are non-firing.

:While not having a robot mode, this is the only toy in the Stealth Force line to have a robot head. Strangely, the head sculpt used on the front of his tank mode is the same sculpt used for the [[Robot Replicas]] release of Megatron.

HasCon 2017

}}
'''HasCon 2017''', the first [[HasCon]] convention, was held in Providence, Rhode Island from [[September 8]] through [[September 10|10]], [[2017]]. As an expo/celebration of ''all'' brands that [[Hasbro]] owns or licenses across all age groups, ''Transformers'' had a significant presence.

==Venue==
[[File:HasCon17 TF Area 1.jpg|right|200px|thumb|MY TINY HANDS AND I WELCOME YOU TO HASCON.]]
[[File:HasCon17 DunkinDonutsCenter.jpg|right|thumb|200px|]]

The convention was held at the [http://www.riconvention.com/ Rhode Island Convention Center] for the main show floor, gaming rooms and smaller panels, with the adjacent [http://www.dunkindonutscenter.com/ Dunkin' Donuts Center] arena used for the larger presentations and concerts. Several of the snack vendors at the arena were open for business that weekend.

The main show floor, on the first level of the Convention Center, was broken up into large areas for each brand. These "Brand Experience" areas contained toy display cases, prop displays, and numerous play-tables covered in toys, along with small stages for presentations, autographs sessions, and audience-participation games. There were face-painting and hair styling stations scattered throughout the floor as well. ''Transformers'' was the first section seen from the main entrance to the floor (and yes there was a face-painting station there to robot-ize up your kids); going forward led to [[Marvel Comics]] and ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', while going right went through the games area and into ''[[My Little Pony]]'', ''[[Hanazuki]]'', and the like, with [[Nerf]] on the far wall opposite, with plenty of firing ranges and an inflated enclosed combat zone. The not-actually-owned-by-Hasbro licenses were of course pushed more to the back of the hall but still given lots of space.

In the center of the floor was the "Boutique", where Hasbro sold retail toys (at wholesale price), as well as convention-exclusive posters, clothing and other swag, with a separate booth specifically for HasCon-exclusive "collector" toys and items (though over the course of the weekend that stock would filter into the normal checkout areas).

The main hallway outside the show floor was filled with guest services kiosks, food vendors, and other companies on display, as well as autograph areas for the less-directly-Hasbro-related guests. Near the escalators, a number of ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' display cases held concept art, double-sized paint masters, movie props and other memorabilia. The back end of the hall was the "Hascade", featuring free-play stations for numerous Hasbro-branded mobile games, arcade games, and the like.

The upper floor held the ''Magic: The Gathering'' play room, full of tables where a tournament went on all weekend. Next to it was both "Artist's Alley" (containing [[Ken Christiansen]], [[Dan Khanna]], and [[Marcelo Matere]], among others) and a small dealer section, primarily populated by people selling their art and hand-crafted wares, but there were a few of the normal toy resellers there to boot. Most importantly in that room though was the Dunkin' Donuts tent that offered free donut holes and small cups of Monster energy drinks all weekend. On the other end of the hall was the "FANmily Stage Room" and the "Discovery Family Stage", smaller conference rooms that held panels all weekend. The hall on this floor also contained the VIP and press lounges, a secondary HasCon "Boutique", other companies displaying their services, and food vendors.

Outside, the area between the convention center and arena was dedicated to picnic tables with a barbecue lunch vendor, as well as the original 2007 [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] truck. On the street in front were a few other vehicles, including a large [[Tonka]]-branded dump truck.

Semi-technically, Hasbro's whole staff were guests, as they were brought in to cover their brands' booths and answer questions, just as they did during [[BotCon]]s. Many also attended panels for their brands and fields of work, including several [[TakaraTomy]] employees. Artist [[Sara Pitre-Durocher]] was also originally scheduled to attend, but unfortunately could not make it.

==Events==
HasCon had a very full and very varied schedule of panels and events all weekend, but we'll keep our focus on the ''Transformers''-related stuff. The complete ''planned'' schedule can be found [https://hascon.hasbro.com/schedule here] (with a caveat that some panels and such changed times over the course of the weekend for one reason or another).

===Friday September 8===
[[File:HasCon17 ToyPanel-crew.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]
:'''More than Meets the Eye'''
:*''Location'': HASCON Main Stage, 11:30am
:*''Panel Guests'': [[Michelino Paolino]], [[Lenny Panzica]], [[Shogo Hasui]], [[Sean Carmine Isabella]], [[Takashi Kunihiro]], [[Daizo Uehara]], [[John Warden]], [[Hideaki Yoke]]

:Hasbro and [[TakaraTomy]] employees discussed their work on the various ''Transformers'' toylines of 2016, with a look into 2017. Began with talking about the technical issues of designing two ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)| The Last Knight]]'' sublines; the [[AllSpark Tech]] series and Knight Armor [[Turbo Changer]]s. With AllSpark Tech, the physical space needs of the activation cube had to be accounted for, plus ''every'' phrase and sound effect for ''every'' toy had to be plotted out for each motion, as the whole point of the line was that a single cube will work with every figure. The Knight Armor helmets needed to be impressive reveals, with the helmets matching the characters' aesthetics; [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s was meant to evoke a necromancer, while [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]]'s blended the medieval with military.

:Next they discussed the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)| Robots in Disguise]]'' combiners, which were designed from the get-go to ensure kids got a complete combiner with every single purchase. The design process actually started with sketching the combined robot modes, melding the components' design cues and blending them together, then refining those looks with the show production crew. There were multiple mechanical issues to work out: they wanted an emphasis on "big action" and interchangeability. They had to design a new universal joint to make that work (forgiving of course some toys only changing into certain combiner parts), as well as where one holds the toy when combining, to avoid auto-transforming parts pinching unwary fingers. Sean, the Senior Designer for ''Robots in Disguise'', elaborated on his love of jet-robots and his desire to add to their ranks with the all-new character [[Stormshot]], even if he wasn't a combiner.

:Then it was ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', which was largely a new product reveal, focusing primarily on the new [[Dinobot (G1)#Power of the Primes|Dinobots]]. A number of small but important details got revealed here, including Slash being a female Dinobot, and the group's use of clear plastic with gold-painted inner walls to simulate the original toys' distinct clear-plastic-over-vac-metal look. The Dinobots were also revealed as combiners, forming [[Volcanicus#Toys|Volcanicus]]. They noted some improvements over the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' combiners, with a big priority of hiding the combiner joints in robot mode, plus the new combiner foot-parts would include rocker-ankle joints of the kind found on [[Victorion#Toys|Victorion]].

:Next came the Leader-class figures, with the reveal of the new [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|Leader-class Orion Pax/Optimus Prime]] toy! The truck cab becomes the first Orion Pax toy sculpted to resemble the original [[Floro Dery]] animation model, and forms the core of the larger Optimus Prime toy, whose very ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece| Masterpiece]]''-like body is made up from the trailer unit. These designs required some trickery to get the weight balances and silhouettes right, which results in Optimus having an "outer" window-chest that opens to reveal an "inner" window-chest which opens to reveal a socket for the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] accessory. Speaking of silhouettes, the section ended with a silhouette "teaser" for [[Predaking (G1)#Power of the Primes|Predaking]], to be "properly" revealed at [[Toy Fair]].

:This panel was not originally in this timeslot, but was moved within a few days of the event due to a travel issue with the Marvel team that was originally slated for this spot. As the very first panel of the show on a Friday with people in an exclusives line, it was lightly attended (and in the huge used-for-basketball-games Dunkin' Donuts Center), leading to a worrying first impression... but the next day's attendance would shatter those impressions. On the other hand, the Hasbro crew remarked that it was nice to be able to put everything into the display cases so early in the weekend.

:This one brought 'em in. Opened with Lorenzo di Bonaventura and John Warden discussing the beginnings of the movie franchise and its evolution, up to the in-production [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] spin-off movie. Discussion covered how they were trying for a different feel to the movie altogether, not looking to replicate the "Bayhem", and the horrendous hairstyles of the 1980s.

:Isabela Moner was brought out, and talked about her experiences on the set. She sent in her audition tape somewhat late in casting, and was almost immediately picked over the production team's then-current top contender out of a field of over 50 actresses. She really wanted the role and felt that her being so physically small but playing such a tough, determined character would be inspirational to kids. And there was plenty of gushing over [[Anthony Hopkins]]. Moner noted Mark Wahlberg being a protective guy, including staring down some of her male friends ("emphasis on ''friends''") who were visiting on-set.

:And then Wahlberg came out and the crowd went ''ballistic''. He talked about being brought in after working on Bay's ''Pain & Gain'', the physical challenges of being on a Bay shoot... and some chuckling over how his kids are a little grumpy over daddy being so recognizable as a big-time movie star. Makes it hard to not be swamped when picking them up from school.

The Boutique eventually added the HasCon exclusives to their available stock over the weekend. Free shipping was offered by having the orders be fulfilled by [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online ordering at checkout.
