I love Revoltechs. They are awesome Japanese super posable small figures, with some great detail.
First up, Megatron, the big bad! Despite being based on Pat Lee art (The reason I haven’t bought Optimus Prime from this series), he’s awesome. You can pose him in some great stands.
He comes with another, smirking, head and about 6 hands, which can be a bastard to get in, but are all great when you do.
I especially love this pose, smirking, pointing the gun at you. Just a great figure.
Yes. Yessss.
Beast Wars Megatron is awesome. That’s science. I love the purple madman.
His figure is great, both in robot mode and in beast mode. He’s near perfectly cartoon accurate, and just beautiful.
Dino mode hides the robot mode extremely well. Like with Animated Grimlock, the tail feels a bit short, sadly.
All in all, a great figure.
I’m cutting it a bit short, but I’m still a bit sick.
(Because my toy refused to transform correctly, I only have a robot mode pic. Sorry.)
I love Beast Wars. Probably my favourite Transformers series, next to Animated.
And Waspinator was always one of my, and many others, favourite character.
His toy is pretty damn great and articulated. The gun fires a missile, and he has one gimmick. An extra head. When they were developing the toys before the show, they decided on a bunch of stuff that got ignored in the show, like the extra head thing.
Wasp mode is very nice and sturdy, although the head has a tendency, at least on my toy, to get loose, which is why I don’t have photo of it. You can find one at the TF Wiki.
“Why universe hate wazpinator?”
Okay, so he hasn’t said it on Animated yet, but whatever. Waspinator is awesome. His robot mode is great. Look at him.
His only gimmick, as far as I can tell, is that he can flap his wing.
His alt mode is great as well. I mean, he’s a wasp. Not much different you can do with it.
I love him and so should you.
Next review(ish thing): Beast Wars Waspinator!
Animated Bumblebee is the fun loving member of Optimus’ crew.
He’s decent figure, looking very nice in robot mode. He’s got fold out stingers, and a nice smirk on his face. No real complaints here. But that brings me to alt mode.
As you can see, it’s very cartoon accurate. But the yellow on the doors is a lighter yellow as the rest of the car. Still, a minor complaint.
There’s not much to say about this figure other then he’s nice for a Deluxe. Worth the money? That depends on you and if you like Bumblebee. Luckily, I do both.
A short review, I know, but there really isn’t a lot to say about it. Should I fold a bunch of these shorter reviews together?
Purple. Very purple
Lugnut is the evil and very devoted Lieutenant of Megatron.
Robot mode is a very cartoon accurate reproduction, though sadly without a clearly marked Punch of Kill Everything.
He has a staff, with a single feature. The spikes pop out if you hit it in the floor. Nice, but kind of boring.
He has a very nice auto-transform feature, though, when going from alt mode to robot mode, part of his body tranforms itself. Might make the transformation too easy for some, but I like it.
Loads of guns.
Plane mode is very nice, which almost all of the robot mode hidden.
Again, very cartoon accurate.
As with all Animated toys so far, I give it thumbs up. Definitely recommended!
Animated Megatron, all powerful leader of the Decepticons. Of course, there are some who try to dethrone him.
In robot mode he carries his sword and arm cannon and when you press the Decepticon logo, he’ll say “Crush the Autobots!”, “Hahahaha!” or “Where is the AllSpark?”
The arm cannon can shoot off a little red missile. You can also cock it, like a gun. Awesome.
His alt mode is a helicopter. In this mode his Decpeticon logo plays a take off sound, pretty neat
He’s gorgeous in both modes, and will make the classic Tranformation Sound when you transform him.
TFA Megatron is a bad ass villian, and his Leader class toy is that as well. Thumbs up!
Staying with Grimlock for a second, because he’s my favourite Transformer.
TFA Grimlock is the leader of the Dinobots, a bunch of dumb Transformers with Dino alt modes. He’s also the only talking in the cartoon, sadly.
His robot mode is awesome. I love the sword, I love his face, it’s fantastic. His sword has flames that will pop out if you move his hand.
Dino mode is also great, although his tail feels short. He has only one gimmick, which is a movable mouth when you push a button on his back.

(Quick note. Until I got a proper setup, the photos will look very amateur. Becuase they are. And I’ve got my Grimlock in dino mode, and I don’t feel like transforming him. But I will include a nice robot mode photo from the internet)
The latest in Takara/Hasbro’s Masterpiece line, Grimlock, is in my opinion also the finest. Or as Grimlock himself would put it: “Me Grimlock King!”.
He’s a good size, though a little smaller then MP Optimus Prime or MP Starscream, both in dino mode and robot mode.
He also has some die cast parts, though I would’ve liked to have seen more. As far as I can tell the die cast is limited to his toes and his robot mode torso.
Dino mode is in a word gorgeous. He’s extremely cartoon accurate. You can change his eye colour from red to blue in both modes, and of course, the ultimate selling point:
That’s right. A drink tray and apron, shown for about 5 minutes in the episode Madman’s Paradise.
There are some other accessories, like his sword and gun (Which both light up in his hand), and the mind transferring device, which is fun, but ultimately pointless.
And in dino mode you can move his head with a jiggle of his tail. A nice feature, way more fun then it should be.
The price is a bit too much, going for $143.99 at Big Bad Toystore. Still, if you love Transformers, the Masterpiece line and Grimlock, it’s very much recommended.
I give MP Grimlock 5 Grimlock Crowns!
