Many of the tank parts hanging off him are large and cumbersome, the most egregious being his huge gun turret backpack. The design already exists and is well-loved by fans, so why wouldn't you use it?īut it isn't just look of this Megatron that's underwhelming, it's the execution of it as well.
This lack of willingness to merge the two franchises in a meaningful way is similarly shown by the absence of combined Cobra/Decepticon logos the figure. It's almost as if Hasbro were too scared to make a figure which wasn't visible G1 Megatron, even though something as simple as making all of the grey parts black would have made a huge difference AND it would still be obvious the toy is meant to be Megatron. No effort has been made to blend the colours between robot and vehicle mode parts, making the whole "bolt-on" aspect even more obvious. There have been some absolutely INCREDIBLE GI Joe vehicle Transformer designs over the years in comics that really try to blend both elements in an effective way, but this toy is just G1 Megatron with H.I.S.S. But in terms of design, Hasbro really didn't bring their A-game to this one. First and foremost if there's one thing that can't be faulted about this figure it's its size – this roughly Ultra class-sized figure towers over most other Transformers, which is perfectly suited to the Decepticon leader as well as its need to be compatible with 3.75" GI Joe figures. And to be perfectly honestly, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. It HAD to happen.īmac also tells us that Soundwave may be on display the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con 2023.So after decades of waiting, here it finally is – a H.I.S.S. I pushed REAL hard for the chain accessory so anyone who bought last years HISS Tank and Baroness could recreate the iconic comic cover with these figures.They are 1:1 in size of the original ARAH toys. He is also roughly 10 inches tall so Commander-esque in size, but these don’t play into a perfect Transformers scale. The rocket on the back of the Thunder Machine is also doubling as Soundwave’s Sonic Cannon. Soundwave has a functioning cassette door and Ravage will fit inside of him.Fun little side note he was supposed to be blue in G1. Both will come on their own blister card in-pack. They were created based on the originals but we’re updated as needed. Zartan and Zarana are ALL NEW o-ring figures.Hasbro Transformers Team Ben “BMac” MacCrae has updated his Instagram account with some interesting comments about the new Transformers Collaborative: G.I Joe Mash Up Soundwave Thunder Machine.
