This guy is the best brick EVER.

There's a doodad on every single limb. A ramp that can hold two Mini-Cons on one arm, a whole array that can hold three on the other, a claw on one leg and a ramp and smaller claw on the other. It's crazy. All in all there's fourteen (not fifteen, as I had originally stated)  places I've found that you can stick Mini-Cons. I, however, only have 12.

Those who have found Red Alert have only confirmed my suspicions -- he is indeed much like a lost member of RiD. But then there's *this* guy, Megatron. He has FANTASTIC articulation in the arms. On the right, his hand swivels, his forearm swivels, it bends at the elbow, the upper arm can move in two directions. It's the same for the left arm, except the wrist. That's because this arm has the knife gimmick on it. His fingers and thumb actually move. It's kinda neat, actually.

But then you get down to the legs...

WHY!??!

Why, when this toy already has the makings of the best one in the line so far, do they screw this up? I only really want ONE thing from the legs, and that is to have them move forwards and backwards at the hip. I can live without having knees (or at least knees that bend the right way), but absolutely no hip movement? With all that torque on those bulky legs, you think something that would give a little would help alleviate the stress, right? But there's nothing there. NOTHING. At least his waist moves. And there are actually two hinges for each foot, and it works rather nicely.

And that's just the Robot Mode.

How?  How is his transformation rating a 4?  Demolishor is tougher than this guy!  The transformation is simple, yes, but it's tight, and for that I am thankful. He makes all sorts of crazy sounds in this mode. There is a missile for the main turret and two more for the little Mini-Con feature. The one for the turret has a little ball on the end. Even though there's a spring in that turret, it's only to keep it sticking out so it doesn't make that firing sound all the time. That pressure firing mechanism is what actually launches that missile. Wild.

He even has this crazy ass attack mode as a robot where the whole missile turret array thing comes out in front of him. I didn't even know it existed until I read the instructions.

Honestly, my ONLY complaint about this toy is the lack of leg movement. Everything else is superb. Well, the orange paint is a little much. He's the first one with such glaring aspects to his color scheme, though. Prime is going to have to be pretty damn impressive to top this bad boy.
