His robot mode does have a cleaner silhouette plus a waist swivel compared to the Deluxe, but he lacks neck and thigh articulation. The alternate mode does use the actual cockpit on his chest instead of [[Kibble#.22Faux-parts.22\|faux parts]]. Like many contemporary figures, Megatron features [[5 mm post\|5 mm ports]] in his feet.

It stores on the top of the helicopter mode. According to the instructions and digital turnaround, the pegs on the sides of the cannon are meant to allow it to attach to a port on the underside of the helicopter. However, the needed port has been removed on the final toy.

The change to helicopter mode can be done automatically by pressing the button between his legs; this can also be done by simply tipping him face-forward, which makes the trigger connect with the ground before his upper body does and activating the spring-loaded transformation mechanism.		:Released in the third wave of Hasbro's "1-Step Flip Changer" assortment, Megatron is a simple toy that converts from robot to vehicle and vice versa by being folded inside-out/outside-in.
