Megatron (G1)/merchandise
From MediaWiki
Peace through merchandising!
Wireless Microphone
- Megatron (Nasta, 1984)
- One of the earliest pieces of Megatron merchandise is also one of the strangest. Taking the form of Megatron's Walther P-38 gun mode — itself quite controversial and anachronistic due to recent safety regulations — the microphone allows children to broadcast their voices to a nearby AM radio by pointing the gun at their mouth and speaking into it.
- Seriously.
Collegeville Costumes
- Megatron (1984)
- Although Collegeville Costumes only released a small number of Transformers costumes, and made some odd choices for characters to depict in the process, Megatron was an obvious choice as one of their first releases. The costume consists of a thin plastic facemask based directly on the original Megatron toy's head, and in time-worn, super-crappy tradition, a red and white plastic smock decorated not with the details of Megatron's body, but with his package art and the Transformers logo.
Spindex Corporation
- Megatron (eraser set, 1985)
- This two-pack of erasers from Spindex Corporation depicted Megatron in his robot and gun modes.
- Megatron (Character eraser, 1985)
- One of three different "character erasers" produced by Spindex, this small Megatron figurine came on either a red or purple blister card.
- Optimus Prime and Megatron (Pencil Toppers and Pencil, 1985)
- Small rubber figurines of Megatron and Optimus Prime came packaged with a pencil they could perch on the end of.
Transformers Milk Caramel
- Megatron (1985)
- A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a keshigomu— of Megatron was released as part of the second wave of Kabaya's Transformers Milk Caramel candy toy range. He came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies, and was available in red, blue and yellow.
Transformers Gum
- Megatron (1985)
- Accessories: High-density infra-red laser cannon
- A snap-together transformable model kit of Megatron was available as part of the second wave of Kabaya's Transformers Gum line. Essentially a downsized version of his original toy, the kit was made out of grey and black plastic, featuring stickers for detail, and came with a stick of gum. Like the original Japanese release of his toy, Megatron lacks his fusion cannon, armed merely with his infra-red laser cannon accessory.
Hero Set
- Megatron (1985)
- ID number: 16
- Accessories: Sword, high-density infra-red laser cannon
- A large keshigomu of Megatron was produced by TakaraTomy licensee Maruka Toys. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Megatron figure came with removable laser cannon and sword accessories, and feature a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced an Optimus Prime figure in the same scale, and both Megatron and he were available in red, yellow or green.
Decoy
- Defeat Dinosaurer Strategy Game (board game, 1986)
- Destron Hero Collection 22 (multi-pack, 1986)
- Megatron was among the many characters rendered by Takara as part of their series of 1.5" keshigomu figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Megatron was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his Tech Specs, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. As the figure is a Japanese creation, it's particularly notable for the fact that it lacks Megatron's signature fusion cannon, just as his original Japanese toy release did, instead sculpting him with his hand-held laser cannon and Japanese-exclusive sword.
- Megatron was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, as well as being included as one of several possible random Decepticon figures included as playing tokens with the "Defeat Dinosaurer Strategy Game", and in a variety of different colours via "gachapon" capsule machines. Later, Seven made him available in a peach coloration, randomly included in a variety of multi-packs.
- Megatron (1987)
- Decoy number: 32
- The figurine was later brought over to Hasbro markets as part of the Decoy promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (32, in Megatron's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded Throttlebots, Aerialbots, Protectobots and Technobots, and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.
Parody Deformed
- Megatron (1990)
- A small non-transforming super deformed model kit of Megatron was available as part of Kabaya's "Parody Deformed" line of candy toys. The third figure in the series, Megatron was part of the larger class of kits, and as such is made from three colors of plastic (white, grey and blue) with eye and Decepticon symbol stickers for detail. He came with a "Transformers PD Type" comic about himself—"Don't Cry! Megatron!!"—and a stick of chewing gum.
Choro-Q
- Megatron (2000)
- Choro-Q Megatron is a Generation 2-themed redeco of the Camouflage Tank toy from Takara's Choro-Q toyline of non-transforming super deformed vehicles. He was an exclusive at BotCon Japan 2000, and features a pull-back motor and a rear license plate that reads "BotCon Japan 2000".
- Along with Choro-Q Optimus Prime and Ligier, Megatron was given out randomly to convention attendees. Each toy was limited to 1000 pieces.
Super Collection Figure
- Megatron (2000)
- A three-inch tall PVC figurine of Megatron was available as part of the first wave of Takara's Super Collection Figure line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.
- Megatron (2000)
- Also available in the first Super Collection Figure wave was a rare "chase" version of the Megatron figure, decorated in metallic paint and replacing his right hand with his energon mace.
- Convoy w/ Megatron Gun (2000)
- The second Super Collection Figure wave featured an Optimus Prime chase figure wielding Megatron in gun mode and wearing Sideswipe's rocket pack (the latter seen in the original The Transformers cartoon episode "More than Meets the Eye, Part 3").
- Megatron Reincarnation Version (2001)
- Megatron got another chase figure in the third Super Collection Figure act; this time his original figure was cast in clear with purple accents, based on the scene in The Transformers: The Movie where he is reincarnated as Galvatron.
- Megatron w/ Condor (2001)
- For the fourth Super Collection Figure wave, Megatron left arm was changed to feature Laserbeak perching on it. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Megatron was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures. In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the right arm of the collectable Metroplex build-a-figure.
- Convoy w/ Megatron Gun (2002)
- The sixth Super Collection Figure wave featured a different version of Prime wielding Megatron's gun mode, now sold on mass-retail rather than being a chase. Unlike the chase one, Prime also came with an interchangeable empty fist, so he doesn't have to wield Megatron. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio, and in eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's Grand Maximus build-a-figure.
- Exclusive Convoy Set (2002)
- Available exclusively at the Japanese Wonder Festival convention, this set included the "Convoy w/ Megatron Gun" figure from the sixth wave, and the vehicle mode Optimus Prime from act 2, both decorated in colored metallic paint. The set was limited to only 1000 units.

As with the Wonder Festival set, this set was also limited to 1000 units.
Mega Super Collection Figure

- Accessories: Fusion cannon, energon mace, Laserbeak, two clenched fists, two open hands
- A five-inch tall, non-transforming highly-articulated PVC figure of Megatron was the third entry in Takara's Mega Super Collection Figure series. He comes with a small PVC of Laserbeak that can perch on his arm, and his fists can be swapped out for alternate splayed-palm hands, or his energon mace, as seen in the Generation 1 cartoon.

- ID number: 01
- A gun mode Megatron came as an accessory with the metallic redeco of the Optimus Prime Mega SFC figurine, taking the place of the energon-axe weapon included with the original Prime figure.

- Starscream (2002)
- ID number: 07
- Optimus Prime's Megatron gun accessory was redecoed for inclusion with Mega SCF Starscream; while Megatron himself remained the same, the fist was repainted from Prime's metallic dark blue to Starscream's lighter shade.
Heroes of Cybertron
When the Super Collection Figure series was imported to become Hasbro's Heroes of Cybertron line, the figures were all cast entirely in translucent colored plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of their heads, giving them all a light-piping gimmick. Unlike the Japanese figures, they were sold in individual blister packaging, with character profile cards.
- Megatron (2002)
- A Heroes of Cybertron release of the first Super Collection Figure Megatron figure.
- Megatron with Plasma Weapon (2002)
- This second-wave Heroes of Cybertron release of the chase figure from the first Super Collection Figure wave was a little different from its Japanese progenitor, lacking its metallic paint.
- Megatron with Laserbeak (2003)

- Accessories: Grey display base
- Released in the first wave of the MyClone line of Transformers PVC figures, this super deformed Megatron comes with a hexagonal grey display stand, which can link up with the identical stands included with other MyClone figures.

- Megatron (MyClone, 2003)
- Accessories: Clear display base, energon mace
- A chase variant of MyClone Megatron was also available in the same wave. Cast entirely in colorless clear plastic, this version of Megatron also came with an energon mace, which could be exchanged for his fist. Thanks to the modular MyClone design, the mace can easily attach to the standard Megatron figure as well.
Q-Robo Collection
- Megatron (2003)
- A super-deformed PVC of Megatron was released as part of the Q-Robo Collection. Like all the figures in the series, Megatron was sold blindpacked in a plastic capsule, featured articulation in the neck and shoulders, and was also available in a translucent colored plastic: as a Decepticon, Megatron came in translucent purple.
Generation 1 Figure-Collection
- Megatron (2003)
- Japanese ID number: D-1
- Accessories: Display base
- At only one inch in height, this Megatron "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.

Attacktix
- Megatron (Booster, 2007)
| ID number: | TF2-20 |
| Rarity: | |
| Faction: | Decepticon |
| Class: | Leader |
| Special: | Recover - 16/26 (61%) success ratio |
| Point Cost: | 40 |
| Base Speed: | 6 |
| Attack Type: | Shooter (Force Blast) |
- Based on his G1 cartoon appearance, this Megatron toy is a killer. He was available only in the Series 2 Starter Set along with Generation 1 Optimus Prime, Energon Landquake and Cybertron Skywarp.
- Megatron has an incredibly powerful translucent missile (don't fire it at children or small dogs if you value their lives) and a Recover special power that allows the figure to stand back up if there's another Decepticon in play. Two Megatrons are a dangerous combination, feeding each other's recover powers and making them very hard to kill off. Plus you can pretend one of them is Straxus.
- As an added bonus, because of the way it is worded, you can use the Cybertron Megatron vehicle mode figure's Transform power to bring Megatron into play from your back-ups.
Robot Heroes
- Ultra Magnus and Megatron (2007)
- Robot Heroes Megatron is an adorably super-deformed figurine depicting the Decepticon leader aiming his fusion cannon with a great big smile on his mouth. Megatron has swivel articulation in his shoulders and was sold in a two-pack with Ultra Magnus.

- "Supermetal Finish" Megatron is a redeco of the standard Robot Heroes Megatron, colored a shiny silver instead of white. He was only available in a Wal-Mart exclusive five-pack alongside "Hologram" Mirage, Cliffjumper, "Supermetal Finish" Optimus Prime and Skywarp.
Revoltech
- Megatron (2007)
- Yamaguchi Series number: 025
- Accessories: Alternate head, 3 alternate hands (left & right open palms, right gun-holding hand)
- A non-transforming but highly articulated Megatron action figure(ine), Revoltech Megatron uses the Revoltech "revolver joints" (appropriate, if you think about it...) for maximum poseability. Megatron includes a non-removable fusion cannon and a few alternate hands, as well as an alternate head with its mouth open in either a smirk, growl or sneer, depending on how you read it. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of Pat "serfdom" Lee's interpretation of Megatron.
- This figure uses specialized gray revolver joints in order to better blend with the surrounding sculpted parts.
- He includes a hand obviously meant for holding a gun... but has no gun to use it with. Though if you buy Revoltech Starscream as well, you can always make him wield himself.
- Starscream (2008)
- Yamaguchi Series number: 046
- The Revoltech Starscream toy included a Megatron accessory in his Walther P-38 altmode. While the silencer and scope are molded on, the stock is removable (necessary in order to plug it into a hand). The gun can be held by any Revoltech toy with a standardized gun-wielding hand, which includes all five Transformers characters in the line.
Boss Coffee
- Megatron (2008)
- A non-transforming PVC figure of Megatron was released as part of a promotion by Boss Coffee. The small figure was randomly included with single cans of the company's "Rainbow Mountain Blend" coffee, contained in a plastic capsule affixed to the top of can which then became a display base for the figurine once removed. Megatron features articulation at the shoulders and waist, and came with a small catalog leaflet that could be folded up and attached to the lid/base to form a diorama background of Decepticon Headquarters for added display value.
- Megatron (2008)
- A larger, metallic gold version of Megatron was also part of the promotion. Nearly twice as tall as the smaller figure, it was not merely an upsized version, but an entirely different sculpt. This Megatron was randomly included with two-packs of Rainbow Mountain Blend coffee cans, which featured a double-wide plastic capsule to hold him.
Mighty Muggs

Transformers Wacky Wobblers
- Megatron (2009)
- This Megatron bobblehead is part of the popular Wacky Wobblers line produced by Funko. Aside from the standard-issue big wobbling head, he features a teeny-tiny fusion cannon and arms that swivel at the shoulders. Megatron is affixed to a base with his name on it.
