Talk:Megatron (BW)/toys
JobbyTheHong review
Would it be worth noting under "Trivia" that David Kaye guest-starred in JobbyTheHong's fan review for the MP Megs? --Samus Aran (talk) 12:08, 22 May 2019 (EDT)
Megahead Megatron
If one removes the toy's spider-legs in head mode, it fits into the head socket to the Fortress Maximus main body. Though this is likely unintended, it is pointed out here as an extra play feature.
It isn't just removing the legs. The figure's hands are shaped just right to slot into gaps around the hinges of Fortress Maximus, so that the figure isn't just resting in the gap. It would be good to mention this when describing how the two figures combine. You can see an image of the hands-into-gap thing in this old article:[1]
I would also suggest a mild revision to the second sentence I quoted, as with this much contrary evidence - even if circumstantial - it seems as like as not that this backwards compatibility was engineered into the toy by someone involved in the process. Even if it was originally never intended to be an "official" mode when this was just going to be a Beast Machines release.

Beast Machines Ultra Class Megatron
So, a user on Twitter posted images of what they're claiming is the unreleased Ultra Class Beast Machines Megatron we've never seen before. What should I do about this on the toys article itself? Here's the post in question: https://twitter.com/G1Grimlock1/status/1326169398114099200?s=20 --Digital Collector (talk) 23:06, 10 November 2020 (EST)
- That is not the Ultra, which has still never been seen. That is a different mold for the Deluxe version, which eventually came out in RID01 and BWReturns (which is listed here). --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 13:23, 16 November 2020 (EST)
Kingdom Rubbery Skin
A TonTon review of Kingdom Megatron revealed a rubbery plastic used for the beast mode skin. (Of note is that it is apparently more in line with that found on standard dinosaur toys and less likely to melt paint or plastic over time.) However, owing to the guidelines and the likelihood of TonTon's copy being stolen, should we withhold this until we get an official confirmation? The video in question.

- Correct, yeah, we need to wait on the figure's official release. Jalaguy (talk) 12:50, 16 November 2020 (EST)
- Yeah. I was pretty sure that was the case, but it never hurts to check.That loof guy (talk) 14:15, 16 November 2020 (EST)
Okay, TFW2005 recieved official figures from Hasbro and Tony Bacala confirmed that Megatron has Rubber skin. Shall we add that note now? That loof guy (talk) 13:40, 20 November 2020 (EST)
Kingdom QC issues
There have been some reports of QC issues with Kingdom Megs, myself included (The hinge joint in the waist showing stressed plastic, breakage on the tabs to hold the back and thigh dinosaur panels on the robot mode). One other report reported the rubbery plastic for the dinosaur skin coming off in areas, and stressed plastic due to bending the left elbow too much. Is this worth mentioning in the article or are more substantiated claims necessaary? Dvdmuckle (talk) 12:51, 22 January 2021 (EST)
Kingdom Megatron smell
So I recently got Kingdom Megatron and mine just smells weird. Anyone else have this smelly Megs problem? Because it ain't me that is the stinker here--Wildstreak (talk) 20:14, 4 April 2021 (EDT)
- Same here - it's degassing from his rubbery plastic. --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 22:58, 4 April 2021 (EDT)
- That's what it makes him smell? Interesting. I have not had any experience with PVC plastic before so it also explains why my Big Convoy also smells the same on his trunk. --Wildstreak (talk) 09:36, 5 April 2021 (EDT)
Basic Megatron's Beast Mode
I know this is pedantic, but I kinda think Basic Megatron's actually a crocodile and not an alligator. The snout's the dead ringer for this since it's V-shaped and not U-shaped, and his lower teeth show in Beast Mode. Should an edit be made? BaronXVI (talk) 22:06, 8 May 2022 (EDT)
