Transformers Megatron Decepticon 2006 -Cybertron Robots in Disguise- Micro Class Series 1 Target Exclusive Transformable Action Figure by Hasbro


No sé... Esperaba encontrarme con un maniático sumamente peligroso y destructivo (algo más a tono con una parte de mi personalidad, porque ya dije que las cosas se parecen a su dueño). 

En cambio, me encontré con un villano más bien mesurado, un estratega casi meticuloso y muy racional, poderoso, que increíblemente manifiesta un respeto tácito por su enemigo y hasta tiene un sentido del honor...

Aún así, no me sentí decepcionado porque este es uno de los personajes más multifacéticos que he conocido. 


Megatron es un villano muy particular, pues aunque suene raro, es digno de cierta admiración, un malvado con ideales. 

Esto al menos en lo que concierne a la Generación 1, pues creo que el creado para versiones más recientes, es más oscuro y cercano al adversario arquetípico, que destruye por el mero placer del caos.

Hace tiempo quería hacer contrapeso a la presencia dominante del líder Autobot Optimus Prime en mi blog y esta espectacular pieza me cayó como anillo al dedo. A pesar de su tamaño, logró impresionarme en modo vehículo (aunque en modo robot no se ve nada mal). 


Su esquema de color, trabajo de pintura y detalle, están por encima del de otras figuras de Transformers de mayor tamaño y estas son las características principales de esta línea creada exclusivamente para Target. 

Siendo un rufián, de vez en cuando sueno bastante coherente y serio, ¿verdad?... Debe ser la "benéfica" influencia de Megatron =PPPPP...

ENGLISH

I don’t know... I was expecting an encounter with an maniac extremely dangerous and destructive (something more in tune with a part of my personality, because I already said that things look like their owner). 


In contrast, I met a villain rather moderate, a strategist almost meticulous and very rational, powerful, that incredibly manifests a tacit respect for his enemy, and even has a sense of honor...

However, I was not disappointed because this is one of the most multifaceted characters I have known. 


Megatron is a very particular villain, as it may sounds weird, he’s worthy of a sort of admiration, he’s an evil with ideals. 

This at least with regards to Generation 1, because I think that the one created for newer versions, is darker and closer to the archetypal adversary, who destroys for the simple pleasure of chaos.

Some time ago i wanted to do a counterweight to the dominant presence of the Autobot leader Optimus Prime in my blog and this spectacular figure fits me like a glove. Despite its size, I was impressed for its vehicle mode (although in robot mode it doesn’t look bad at all). 


Its color scheme, paint job and detail, are above other bigger Transformers figures available and these are the main features of this line created exclusively for Target. 

Being a hoodlum, occasionally I sound pretty consistent and serious, right?... Must be the "beneficial" influence of Megatron =PPPPP...

You are right. The detail and the color of this Megatron figure is nice but the concept doesn't really fit Megatron...

i guess that when u r used to the gun transformation of the Generation 1 Megatron, u would see other kind of transformation as something weird & well, to see Megatron as a vehicule is a bit baffling... i see u like more the Gen 1 Transformers & i agree with that, but i like as well the alternative recent versions of these classic characters =D...

Ah good to see Batmobile(GF Megs) In cheaper form^^, but I kinda loled, why his Galvatron form looked so familiar to his g1 counter part, well in paintscheme

chrismandesign said...

hehehe... that of "cheaper" is pretty relative, cuz as a Target exclusive is kinda expensive for its size, but it really worths while, it’s a fine piece indeed as the others of this line... & bout his Cybertron form, well, i haven’t seen the G1 version u mentioned, so i hav no idea... any info or pics ??? ¿___?

The toy sure didn't lose out due to its size. The car mode gives a futuristic sensation and like you mentioned, it really stands out. It's no wonder you took many pics of it.

hahaha... this is one of the TF Target exclusive figures i mentioned pal & actually is great in every sense... is not the first time i see a Megatron as vehicule, cuz there is another version available from Alternity Takara Tomy line (Nissan Fairlady) & one more of this Cybertron Megatron by Takara as well, but bigger than this i own, myb 7" high in robot mode, while this is barely 3" high... =D
