I just think Megs can look bad ass without having to file his teeth. Yeah, I guess deep down I know that. I just think Megs can look bad ass without having to file his teeth.

I've been trying to cut down on Transformers, but I knew I was going to want that Megatron. I DO like the legends-sized one and was hoping I would just stick to the legends to save space, but now this one has me relenting. The deluxe one is ONLY in a multipack? Hmm...maybe they'll release him in something else down the road. GAH. I know this one is going to be enticing if I see it in the store...i'll have to be careful. Hmm…that’s a damn fine looking toy.

Robots could just vocalize with speakers on their faces, if they wanted to, or communicate over radiowaves. If we're doing the "why he has this anthropomorphized attribute" game, the pointy teeth are the least of our worries. Really, they're pointy to look fearsome. I don't think Megatron needs any more reason than that.

Does he chew energon? Eeehhh...sorry, I know, I don't mean to be the poo-poo-er but that's the one issue with Prime Megs I don't like. That and his VHS in vehicle mode.

IIRC its prett on-model, but I've only watched the series once through, so its been a while since I've seen it. re: the blade

I suspect I may be waiting a long time. I’m waiting for a Megatron who can pop his head up Sweep-style while in vehicle mode.

I would have gone with "like the talons of some vast, predatory bird", but you know, whatever. “his shoulder spikes tufting out from under his wings like armpit hair.”

(Discounting one-offs like giant Movie Bumblebees and such) It helps that I really want the entertainment pack that deluxe Screamer will be in, with Silas and MECH soldiers.
