It was about time for Robosen Robotics to roll out a Decepticon, after having released Autobots Optimus Prime, Grimlock and Bumblebee over the years. Unveiled today via the Hasbro Pulse Fanstream, the world’s first auto-converting Decepticon leader, Megatron is the next flagship collectible that’s available for pre-order at Hasbro Pulse and robosen.com now, at a pre-sale price of US$899 for a 30-day window before moving to its standard retail price of US$1,199.
Megatron auto-converts from robot to tank instantly, via app or voice commands (50+ in total). It also sports a new and more fluid bipedal walking algorithm, 112 ultra-bright LEDs, an arsenal of weapons (Energon sword, mace and canon missiles), and a silver-metallic finish. It stands tall at 21 inches and is equipped with 36 servo motors and 118 microchips.
To top it all off, Frank Welker, the original voice of the 1984 G1 Megatron even recorded over 270+ unique lines and phrases for the Robosen Megatron.
Yonk is a geek who is fortunate enough to have an equally geeky Star Wars fan for a wife, who owns a LEGO Millennium Falcon encased in a glass coffee table as their home’s centre-piece.
