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

Transformers (2007)

Legends Class toys

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


  • Generations Legends (Target exclusive multi-pack, 2007)
Megatron is quite beside himself.
A Target exclusive, this four-pack of Legends Class figures contains two versions of both Optimus Prime and Megatron, namely Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime, Movie Legends Optimus Prime, Legends of Cybertron Megatron and Movie Legends Megatron.


"Quick, Bumblebee! You hold up Megatron, I'll just fight with the others!"
"...I hate you."
  • Battle for the Allspark (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)
A Toys"R"Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends Class figures contains unmodified toys of Optimus Prime, Jazz, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream, and Barricade.

And both halves of Jazz will have a front bumper.
  • Battle Jazz vs. Ice Megatron (Legends multi-pack, 2008)
Ice Megatron is a, well, ice-themed redeco of Legends Class Megatron, which means his black paint applications have been replaced by blue. He comes packed with yet another redeco of Legends class Jazz, this time "battle damaged".


Voyager Class toys

Hey, I think I'm as weird as the War Within figures! ...nah, not there yet.
  • Megatron (Voyager Class, 2007)
    • Japanese ID number: MD-14
    • Accessories: Projectile
Voyager Class Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his Cybertronic jet, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them. With a significantly different (and simple compared to other figures of the same pricepoint) transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to Automorph technology. 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.

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.


  • 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 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, 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
"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 "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 Automorphing 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.


"Hey, I got a tan!"
  • Megatron ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
Premium Megatron is a redeco of the previously released Leader Class Megatron. The figure is now given far more movie-accurate paint applications of black, gold, & silver. Premium Megatron also features the classic transformation sound when the chest Automorph function is activated. The original "metal shriek" sound is retained when the sound button is pressed in vehicle mode.
In the promotional photos of the toy, this version was pictured with a new vehicle mode face cover that fit the new head better. However, this retool was apparently dropped before actual production but can still be seen on the box back photography. All manufacturing errors from the first release are still present.
Unlike some of the early "Premium Series" toys, Premium Leader Megatron was mass-released at a variety of retailers, instead of being an exclusive to any particular store.


Fast Action Battlers

Just back from filming Predator 3.
  • Fusion Blast Megatron (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
    • Japanese ID number:
    • Accessories: 2 projectiles
Fusion Blast Megatron is a simple version of Megatron with dorky-looking proportions in robot mode, and it turns into an even dorkier-looking vehicle mode. The transformation sequence manages to be even more simple and non-involved than the other Movie Megatron toys by means of an Automorph feature very similar to the early Beast Wars flipchangers. Moving his back section down causes the torso to flip up, hiding the head and positioning the arms skywards. Though the figure requires a little more repositioning and folding, most of the transformation is done with a single step.
The figure's packaging depicts Megatron with a different head sculpt and silver paint instead of unpainted gray plastic.


  • Night Attack Megatron (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
    • Accessories: 2 projectiles
A redeco of Fast Action Battler Megatron, this time cast primarily in black plastic, with opaque grey missiles.


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.


Robot Replicas

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


  • Megatron vs. Optimus Prime (Multi-pack, 2007)
This Walmart-exclusive two-pack includes "battle-damaged" redecos of Robot Replicas Megatron and Optimus Prime.


Titanium Series

"Surf's up! WOOOOO!"
  • Megatron (3" Robot Masters, 2007)
    • Accessories: Movie-style Decepticon sigil display stand
Titanium Series Megatron is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the CG model owing to the fact he doesn't need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders, neck and waist. Megatron comes with a Movie-style Decepticon symbol display stand.


Attacktix

  • Battle Masters Megatron and Scorponok (Battle Master set, 2007)
HADOOOUKEN!
One of the many casualties of the shelving of Hasbro's Attacktix line was this Battle Master set featuring Megatron and Scorponok.


Game over.
This Attacktix item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.


Because everyone knows Megatron's right-hand man is Bonecrusher, not Starscream.
  • Transformers Tournament Set (2007)
An Attacktix tournament set featuring unique playing pieces of Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bonecrusher was at one point scheduled for release. Along with a vast amount of other Attacktix product, it ended being canceled.


Game over.
This Attacktix item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.


Revenge of the Fallen

Legends Class toys

File:Megatron ROTF Legends toy.jpg
After enduring countless "What do I turn into" captions, Michael Bay started from scratch.
  • Megatron (Legends, 2009)
    • Japanese ID number: EZ-02
Megatron transforms from a reasonably accurate version of his movie robot mode to a reasonably accurate version of his tank mode (with a teeny extra Megatron face in his groin, without paint details probably to avoid creepiness). He has ball-jointed shoulders and hips in robot mode, plus elbow and knee joints. His alt mode turret is formed by merging his left and right arms, which is a neat callback to the first movie's fusion cannon, but means the turret can't rotate side to side, only pivot at the barrel.
Several samples suffer from a disconnected lower left leg, which should be connected to the metal rod inside the upper leg. While the loose appendage cannot be repaired without extensive tooling, the upper leg is tight enough to prevent the leg from falling out during display or careful play.
A "Battle Damaged" variant appears in the second wave of EZ Collection, featuring more elaborate, weathered paint applications.


Voyager Class toys

File:ROTF Voyager Megatron toy.jpg
First blue, then green. Watch, in the next movie, it'll be red.
  • Megatron (Voyager, 2009)
    • Japanese ID number: RD-11
    • Accessories: Missile
The second mainline 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.


Pay no attention to my translucent parts!
  • Gathering At Nemesis (Figure multipack, 2009)
    • Accessories: Missile
This Toys"R"Us-exclusive three pack includes a redeco of Megatron's Voyager-Class toy from the first movie 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 and a redeco of Deluxe-Class 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.


  • Megatron (Voyager)
    • Japanese ID number: MR-02
    • Accessories: Missile
Unite for the Universe Megatron was to be a screen-accurate silver redeco of Voyager class Revenge of the Fallen Megatron, but the toy (along with a Jetfire-armoured Voyager class Jet Power Optimus Prime) was canceled.
Both Megatron and the accompanying Jet Power Optimus Prime would have come with an issue of the Unite for the Universe comic book, but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the Movie Masterpiece releases of Leader class Starscream and Bumblebee. Of amusement is the fact the comics are essentially showcasing toys that have been canceled.

Leader Class toys

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 gimmickry involved, the right arm has no elbow.
Pressing the Decepticon symbol-emblazoned button on his chest activates his light, Mech Alive, and voice sound effects ("I am Megatron!"). The Mech Alive mechanics involve shaking his head to and fro while panels in his chest shudder. The European release (sold in the UK and non-English speaking countries) proclaims just simply "Megatron!" with laughter. After a month or two, the American release became available in the UK as well as the Canadian province of Quebec, while English Canada (which usually stocks the American release) somehow got the European version in some areas.
Interestingly, while other 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.


Why do I have someone else with me?! My box looks the same, except with that guy sticking out!
  • Megatron with Autobot Camshaft (Leader value pack, 2009)
    • Accessories: Missile
This Walmart exclusive value pack featured an unchanged Leader-class Megatron sold with an unchanged Camshaft from the first movie toyline. They came packaged in a special wider box and were sold for the same price as a normal Leader toy.
Leader-class Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime was available in a similar value pack at the same time, which likewise included Camshaft.


I'm back in black...YES I'M BACK IN BLACK! OH!
  • 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.


Fast Action Battlers

I sure hope SNK don't sue...
  • 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.


Power Bots

Super Fighting Robot—MEGAMAN!
  • Megatron (Power Bot, 2009)
The Power Bots version of Megatron is a large, sturdy action figure for younger children. Pressing the various Decepticon symbol buttons activates battle phrases, sound effects and light-up eyes, although for the European release, almost all of the battle phrases were cut in order to avoid language barriers (except for the occasional nonsensical utterance of "Decepticon!" and "Megatron!" among a huge, long string of blasting noises).


Robot Replicas

I swear his chest is someone's face. Well, some 'bots can sympathize with that.
  • Megatron (Robot Replica, 2009)
This non-transformable Megatron action figure was supposed to be very movie-accurate, but is actually a combination of the bulkier, earlier design used for his Leader class toy and the more slender final design used for the Voyager class toy. Although his arms are normal-sized and the right arm has the "lobster claw" seen in the final design, Megatron appears hunchbacked due to the fact that he has no neck (though not to the same extent as the Leader class toy).
Strangley, the head sculpt of this figure is reused on the Stealth Force version of the character.


Battle Chargers

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".


Transformers (2010)

Legends Class toys

"Such heroic nonsense."
  • The Victory of The Fallen (Kmart Exclusive Legends 5-pack, 2010)
Transformers: Hunt for the Decepticons Megatron is a redeco of the Revenge of the Fallen Legends Class mold, in khaki and with a dark brown chest. He comes with redecos of The Fallen, Optimus Prime, Jetfire, and Starscream in a Kmart-exclusive five-pack.


Voyager Class toys

Man, this mold just doesn't want to be re-released at all.
  • Megatron Rising (Figure multi-pack)
    • Accessories: Missile
This retailer exclusive multi-pack recreated the scene in Revenge of the Fallen where the Constructicons resurrect Megatron. The Megatron figure itself is a redeco of his Revenge of the Fallen Voyager class toy, partially cast in a metallic green plastic, to represent his time at the bottom of the ocean. He came packed with Legends Class figures of Long Haul, Mixmaster, Rampage, and a red redeco of Scrapper, who was probably intended to be Scrapmetal.
It has never been revealed for which retailer this multi-pack was intended for.

  • 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.

Blast that Blastwave! *yyywaaawwwwwwn*
  • Megatron / Blastwave Weapons Base (Cyberverse Action Set, 2011)
    • Series: 1
    • Number: 004
    • Japanese ID number: CV13
    • Accessories: Missile launcher, missile, Africa
This version of Megatron uses the same mold as the single Cyberverse Commander toy, but lacks the fuel tank/Double Cannons accessory, is cast in and painted with different colours, and of course, comes with the Blastwave Weapons Base.
This set's packaging includes a cardboard backdrop that is intended to be removed and reused for display. The backdrop depicts a field in Africa, with an elephant standing nearby in the left panel.


Garbage-day!
  • Bumblebee vs Megatron (Cyberverse 2-pack, 2011)
    • Accessories: Fuel tank halves/Double Cannons
Exclusive to Target, this release of Cyberverse Commander Megatron has a deco inspired by Generation 1 Motormaster. He has Cybertronian symbols around his body, one of which is the Dynasty of Primes'. He comes packed with a retool of Revenge of the Fallen Legends class Bumblebee.
This set also sold in Turkey as a Carrefour exclusive.


Voyager Class toys

You know, I'm beginning to like this Megaweapon.
  • Megatron (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
    • Japanese ID number: DD01
    • Accessories: MechTech Blaster/Fusion Cannon, tarp/cape
Megatron now transforms into a disfigured Mad Max truck 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!

      • Fist strength: 725
      • Blaster strength: 220

Part of the third wave of Bot Shots Series 2 single-packs, this new-mold Megatron transforms into a vaguely-animalistic black-and-silver car with wings, and with a robot mode that's also inspired by Prime Megatron. As a Spin Shot, one manually winds up his upper body beforehand when transforming him into vehicle mode, where striking the front of the vehicle will cause him to burst open and spin while auto-transforming.

Age of Extinction

"Ignore me, it's better that way."
  • Megatron (One-Step Changer, 2014)
Part of the fifth wave of One-Step Changers, Megatron changes from Cybertronian tank mode to robot mode in a single step. He features articulation at his shoulders.
Oddly, this toy is based on Megatron's Revenge of The Fallen body, is packaged in a card depicting his Dark of the Moon self, and was released in the Age of Extinction toyline. Confused yet?

Timelines

GIVE ME YOUR FACE!

C-81 Megatron is a retool of Transformers: Prime Silas Breakdown, a toy which was originally exclusive to Japan. Now with a new head that evokes both the original Megatron and the live-action Megatron, he transforms into his massive armored truck mode, which features a single C joint bar at the rear of the truck and multiple 5mm pegholes. He comes with three smaller partners: Scalpel, Heavyweight and Boombox. This toy was previously retooled from regular old "War Breakdown," also exclusive to Japan.
Megatron was available exclusively in a five-figure box set, packaged with Battletrap, Packrat, Shattered Glass Stepper, and Oilmaster.

    • Japanese ID Number: MB-03
    • Accessories: Missile
Released as part of TakaraTomy's Transformers Movie The Best toyline to conclude the 10th anniversary of the live-action film series, this Megatron is an extensive redeco of his Voyager Class toy, featuring a screen-accurate deco unlike his two cancelled Unite for the Universe & Megatron Rising set's figure.

Merchandise

Transformers (2007)

Lunchables

  • Megatron (Lunchables, 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 and Starscream. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for Optimus, Ironhide and 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.


Cap Candy Company

"Oh, how hideously (and deliciously) ironic!"
  • Transformers Gummy Candy (2006)
Made by the Frankford Candy & Chocolate Company at the behest of Hasbro's Cap Candy Company unit, this large Megatron-shaped gummy candy was available throughout 2006 to 2007. Also available was an Optimus Prime and Bumblebee-shaped gummy candies.


Robot Fighters Game

  • Optimus Prime vs. Megatron (2007)
Megatron comes packaged along with Optimus in a toy set that allows both figures to be strapped to their separate bases, and subsequently be controlled by two players, making them punch and kick one another via knobs that can be twisted and turned to make the characters perform different moves. Megatron's body is slightly simplified and features articulation at the shoulders and hip joints. A sort of update on the classic "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" game. The figures can also be separated from the base for fun on the go!


3D Battle-Card Game

  • Megatron (3D Battle-Card, 2007)
    • Card number: 20
Megatron is a 53-point "Rare" piece in the 3D Battle-Card Game. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into either his robot mode or alien jet mode. His card construction was reused for the enigmatic Sky Lynx card in the game's "Energon Wars" expansion.


Battling Robots Bubble Bath

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


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 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.

Basic Fun

"Crap, Bonecrusher died....Barricade, get over here."
  • Megatron (Figural keychain assortment, 2007)
Produced by Basic Fun, this keychain is a likeness of Megatron's robot mode with articulated arms, legs, head, waist, and a keyring sticking out of his ass.


Transformers Movie Danglers

No, that's not his back, that's his actual face.
  • Megatron (2007)
Released by Tomy Yujin in November 2007[1] for the Danglers Collection, this toy is a weird plastic super deformed version of Megatron that pops out his vehicle mode when you squeeze him. This little figurine has a little strap on it so that it can be put on cell phones or portable gaming devices.
Other than Megatron, there are also versions of Decepticon Devastator, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Bonecrusher, Jazz, and Optimus Prime.

Transformers Movie Screen Cleaners

  • Megatron (2008)
Released by Tomy Yujin on January 2008,[1] this dangler is a faction logo-shaped screen cleaner for your cell phone, with a stock image of Megatron printed on the other side.


Revenge of the Fallen

Burger King

Darn that Soundwave. *yyywaaawwwwwwn*
  • Rise of Megatron (Kids meal toy, 2009)
Rise of Megatron has a pull-back motor and can "transform" between flying tank and robot modes, both of which are quite inaccurate. The tank mode lacks a cannon, while the robot mode lacks legs for purposes of the toy's own gimmick. Megatron's robot mode torso also looks quite deformed and odd compared to the CG model in the movie, with features such as a round mouth, huge arms, and symmetrical (huge) shoulders.



Transformers Digital Watch

  • Megatron Digital Watch (2009)
Made by F*A*B Starpoint, this Megatron-themed digital watch has a nylon velcro strap with a rubber pull tab, a plastic case and chrome bezel, and an LCD display on the face.


Transformers Wacky Wobblers

He just needs a hug!
  • Megatron (2009)
Wacky Wobblers Megatron is a bobblehead doll which features details more accurate than any of his mainline toys, especially in the head and feet. However, his right hand, with the "lobster claw" weapon extended, is in an impossible position (compare his right arm with that of the Voyager class toy). Unlike most Wacky Wobblers bobbleheads, his arms are poseable.


Basic Fun

  • Articulated keychain (2009)
Produced by Basic Fun, this keychain is a likeness of Megatron's robot mode with articulated arms, legs, head, waist, and a keyring sticking out of his ass.


Figure Collection

  • Megatron (2010)
    • Accessories: Stand
The Figure Collection edition of Megatron is modeled on his Voyager class toy from the first movie, complete with molded icicles. His wing backpack is a separate piece which must be slotted in after opening the dispenser ball.


Missile Mania Board Game

  • Megatron
Megatron is one of eight characters featured in the Missile Mania board game, represented by a small standee adorned with artwork of the character.


RPMs - Robot Powered Machines

When he runs people over, they know it was him!

  • 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 softer materials, which makes it droop down and look sort of... depressed. This deco was only available in a two-pack with Ratchet.


  • Megatron (2009)
    • Series: Combat Series
    • Number: 02 of 04
"Combat Series" Megatron is a silver redeco of "Battle Series" Megatron, and features painted tank treads.


  • Jetfire VS Megatron (2010)
    • Series: Battle Series 2
    • Number: 05 of 06
This two-pack contains a metallic blue redeco of RPM Megatron and a barely altered 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 ToysЯUs Express mall stores and discount chains like Ross and TJ Maxx.


  • Megatron (2010)
    • Series: Robot Riders
    • Number: 02 of 03
"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.

End of the road.
This Robot Powered Machines/Speed Stars item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.


  • Megatron (2010)
    • Series: Allspark
    • Number: 03 of 04
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.

End of the road.
This Robot Powered Machines/Speed Stars item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.


McDonald's

Let's see what you can see...

This article is in need of images.

  • 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.

Prime 1 Studio

  • Megatron (May 2014)
    • ID number: MMTFM-01
Prime 1 Studio produced a massive (80cm tall) polystone sculpture of Megatron with an interchangeable right arm and death-lock pincer, as well as glowing red LEDs for eyes.[1]

Robot Heroes

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)
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)
PRIIIIIIME!
The second mold, sharing no parts with the first release. His right arm has transformed into the 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)
"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.


Say hello to my GIGANTIC-ASS friend!
  • Battle for the Fallen (box set, 2009)
This Robot Heroes box set of figures comes with The Fallen, Megatron (tank mode), Optimus Prime and Jetfire combined, and Ironhide (truck mode). Megatron has no articulation.


Trapped forever in a specific time and place, Megatron punches the ground in frustration.
  • Battle for the Allspark (2009)
A redeco of the second Robot Heroes mold is included in this set representing the battle of Mission City along with a redeco of Decepticon Brawl, along with new figures of Ratchet (with his saw), Sam Witwicky with the All Spark Cube, Optimus Prime, Starscream and Bumblebee in vehicle mode.


"So... ummm... you seeing anyone?"
  • 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" comes packaged with him. Humorously, his Leader Class figure can achieve this "mode".


Speed Stars

Mini-Vehicles

  • Megatron VS Jetfire (2010)
    • Series: Battle Series 2
    • Number: 05 of 06
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.



Megatron has gone Transmetal!
  • Megatron (2010)
    • Series: Robot Riders
    • Number: 02 of 03
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. Though officially listed on the back of the Speed Stars "Robot Riders" Sideswipe and seen on a digital poster on the Speed Stars website, it never came out in any market.

End of the road.
This Robot Powered Machines/Speed Stars item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.


  • Megatron (2010)
    • Series: Road Assault
    • Number: 03 of 03
"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.

End of the road.
This Robot Powered Machines/Speed Stars item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.


Stealth Force

So... what's so stealthy about the spiky flying space tank again?
  • Megatron (Deluxe, 2010)
    • 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.

Tiny Titans

  • Megatron (Tiny Titans, 2015)
