Reformatted R-28 Tyrantron – The Reformatted R-28 Tyrantron figure stands just about 8 inches in robot mode and transforms into a space flight vehicle and or mining vehicle with drill head and heavy duty treads. Tyrantron is armed with his fusion cannon, drill laser mace, and energy blade. Also included is an alternate head, alter body parts including chest and shoulder armor, a manual, comic, and bio card.
As a representation of IDW's Megatron, the figure is top notch, with fantastic build quality and paint. As a transforming toy, it's not quite as innovative as some of MMC's other output, and the choice of alt mode is a bit of a curveball. Somehow (and maybe against all reason) it works for me, but I can see why it wouldn't for others, and honestly he will stay in robot mode for 90% of his life. The alt mode should cost this guy half a star, but I couldn't make the rating reflect this. Same goes for the cannon - it works for me (just) but it would have been nice to have something more comic-accurate as well
As long as your prorities lie with having a comic-accurate bot with proper heft, though, and personality in spades, this is your guy.
Can't fault this MMC product, just check out the IDW comic.
