Toy Review: Transformers Animated Cybertronian Megatron (Voyager Class)

Thanks to Peaugh and Vangelus' influences, I'm starting to get into the Transformers mania.  They are great reviewers and could be spokespersons for Hasbro or Takara Tomy. It is like how the RRR's trio sold me to buying SHFs. If they would offer me a crap piece of toy - I'm sold.  My question was "who's next?". After scrolling some of their great reviews, I shortly found myself scrambling for the Transformers Animated Cybertronian Megatron (Voyager Class). I had the TF WFC version so what the heck. 

But I have to be strict in collecting these or my money will disappear without noticing. I am not like the RRR trio who are seemingly have all the money to buy the toys they wanted in just a click of a button. Or at least that was my impression. Besides I got a lot of obligations which keeps my spending habits in a minimum. If only I had the trio's prowess and spending habits. I'm still at awe how they manage to get more toy than the average person.

Toy Review: War for Cybertron Deluxe Cybertronian Megatron

In the epic War for Cybertron, now we know (or so it is implied) that Megatron was once a futuristic tank before he took a form of a pistol. A tank is far more convincing harbinger of destruction than a Walter P3 in my opinion. There are two versions in this vehicle mode - hovercraft and a tank. The hovercraft is just folding the tank treads at the bottom. I'd prefer with the treads on its sides.

Picking this up is a no brainer. I had the Takara Tomy version of Cybertronian Optimus Prime and what a way to make my shelf look better is to have these two side by side in their own little space. Robot mode was what I expected (similar to Optimus), futuristic body type with hints of G1 nostalgia.
