Studio Series 31 Batle Damaged Megatron Review

Loved the first use of the mold even despite is imperfections, that being Studio Series 13, but 31 blows it out of the water with improved tolerances to the thighs and over the top nice paint apps (this is how battle damage should really be done). An excellent movie Megatron, even if I have a different idea for the mold.

It's not good.
The head on him is the same head as ss leader megatron
Talk about reuse of a head.
Its flimsy.

I disagree, but I liked the original mold. If you dislike the original, then you are right, this won't change your mind. The Leader Megs was an easy pass. He just didn't speak to me. I don't find my copy flimsy though., maybe the hips a tad. I would agree though that this absolutely should be the last use of that mold. Meh, I have a different plan for him anyway.

They are actually different heads. The leader head is more clean cut, while the Voyager head is more rough-cut.

Re: Studio Series 31 Batle Damaged Megatron Review

If you want a really good version of this Megatron mold, buy the TF Dream Factory God-11 ROTF Megatron. They basically upscaled the original Studio Series mold (it's around 11 inches tall), added more details and a beautiful paintjob, and also added LEDs in the eyes and arm-cannon along with ratchet joints galore. It also scales extremely well with Movie Masterpiece Optimus Prime. The figure costs about $75-$100 CAD, depending on where you purchase it from. It's worth every penny and can stand in as a Masterpiece ROTF Megatron easily.

My copy won't stand on it's own due to the feet not flush with any surfaces and the back panels easily pop of just looking at them.

That's a great option for anyone who wants their bots bigger and/are into MP.

That's the way the panels on 13 were on the back of the legs, 31 is a bit better. Both had their feet fine though. That's a bummer, man.
