In a different time line in the Cybertron history were Prime and Megatron fought on the Beast Planet/Geia the battle were Prime merges with Leo Breaker to defeat Megatron leaves him almost ruined and destroyed. In this time line Megatron didn’t use his energy bubble (the green shield he uses in the forest) and instead reformats his body and adapts to the Beast Planet/Geia instead and becomes T-Rex Beast Megatron once more.

 

What this is really is just an ugly repaint of the new 10th reissue/update of the Beast Wars Megatron. Hasbro recently released a new mould for Beast Wars Megatron for the 10th anniversary and the Beast mode looked good and the robot mode was ok but had some very ugly colors. The is the repaint of that for the Cybertron line and is even more ugly in color as this is meant to be a homage to Armada Predacon (a green repaint BW TM Megatron) which would be an ok idea but the colors are seriously ugly.

 

Beast mode is ok but the colors really do look ugly and the coloring on the neck area just isn’t working and just makes the beast mode area look stupid in the neck place because the colors are so off. The green colors do work to a point but the selection of brown and red and yellow just seem like a strange sort of miss-mash rather than an actual choice of colors.

 

The Beast mode has a lot of freedom of movement because the legs can move in almost any position and the arms also move but not much because obviously they are T-rex arms and as everyone knows the T-rex never had much movement in the arms. The neck also has freedom of movement and can rotate in almost anyway but it seems rather odd because at the back is the tail and the tail is a strange area because once you connect the Planet-Key into the tail….the arse opens up…and reveals an arse missile launcher and missile. Yes that was written down correctly, Beast Megatron has an arse missile stuck into his T-rex bottom and yes it does look stupid, very stupid in fact.

 

Robot mode looks ok but yet again has more odd choices of colors of brown/yellow/green and silver. I'm not to sure were the hell Hasbro were getting there choices of colors but this figure is one odd selection of ugly paint application’s. The 10th anniversary release of Beast Megatron/Cybertron Megatron also has a new feature of were the tail section can come off which reveals a fist for the figures robot mode. This basically means that in robot mode Megatron has a choice of the T-rex head-Tail and also a new fist area for the robot mode. The figure can hold the tail section and when the Planet-Key is added the tail turns into a type of missile launcher but yet still seems like Megatron is holding his arse in his hand.

 

The chest area connects in exactly the same way as the original Beast Wars Megatron and pretty much so does the rest of the body which is rather a surprise considering this is a new mould and is also an update of an older character. The arms have lots of freedom and the legs also have a lot of freedom of movement as well. The waist area can rotate but has a problem of popping the chest area out of its connection joints if pulled/twisted to quickly. The head also has a lot of movement but because of the colors it just seems very ugly rather than something you can admire.

 

Cybertron Beast Megatron came along in the Cybertron line near the end of the series and was released with the repainted version of 10th anniversary Optimus Primal (Also from Beast Planet) but even he was a poor repaint from the original. The figure came released in card/bubble form ad had images on the back of both beast and robot mode but didn’t come with much else sadly and the Cybertron version was also missing the smaller 10th anniversary ships Axalon ect ect.

 

A good figure and a good mould but a figure with the most ugly and worse colors you would ever expect to see. I think the only way this color scheme would have been worse is if it was all yellow but considering the colors the figure ended up with in the end anyway….its not much of an improvement. A good figure but just don’t expect to fall in love with the god ugly paint scheme
