I've tried it just now. The back end is of course more secure. (since you're supposed to tab the rear stabilizers into the tracks) The 'nose' however comes apart at the slightest touch as the arms aren't really supposed to connect...:|

ROTF Voyagers Megatron, Starscream, and The Fallen I think are all pretty good Decepticons. Ransack and Scalpel are just Scout sized WIN.:up::up:

I'd also recommend Animated Voyager Shockwave. (either the normal grey or the True Colors Target exclusive)

It doesn't look anything like the first movie Megatron's jet mode, it's just something kind of resembling a jet. I know the description sound exactly the same, but...:lol:

ROTF Breakaway [PROOFED]

Name: Breakaway Function: Autobot flier Sub-Group: ROTF Deluxe Class Serving in an army of robots tied to the ground makes Breakaway unique. He is one of the very few among the elite Autobot fliers, and he is unmatched for speed in a straight line. While other pilots focus on aerial acrobatics that...

Nice paint job!:up: Personally though, I just don't see his 'jet mode'. It sort of looks the part, but doesn't feel as solid as I've heard it is...:| I'll be sure to give it a mention when I do my review of the guy though.

What's really funny is that the more I think about it the more he reminds me of Beast Wars Rampage's tank mode because the armor plating is kind of like a crab shell. :up: Are you trying to suggest a crab battle?;) Voyager Megs - HOLY **** is this guy awesome! Two (official) great modes, and totall...

Picked up ROTF Legends Megatron today. He's quite a chunky wee figure, and does a passable job at both modes. Once again, Legends Class seems toe best format for Megatron - more-so this time round, with the Leader Class not delivering a decent alt mode. Alas, the price of ROTF Legends at Sainsbury'...

Wheelie is quite compact in RC Truck mode. A little tricky getting there, but neat!:up:

Universe Cyclonus with Nightstick is always a good choice. Classics or Henkei! Astrotrain is another. And at least one version of the Classics Seeker mold.

Haven't bought anything transformers in a few years. Finally broke down today and bought some of the Animated line. The molds and overall character designs are hands down the best in years. Swoops head keeps falling off every time I try to adjust it, though, and its a pain to get back on the way th...

Just tried it on mine, and they fit snugly if they're in all the way. (leave the front wheel straight and insert the foot pedals into the gap just above the wheel) Still, I prefer them being leg armor. He's my first Scout in a long time, and I'm already planning on getting Rollbar, Dead End/Detour, ...

Ask Treadshot A1 or someone who would know. Now please stop taking this thread off topic. This is about Mr. MC Paddington, as per the title.;)

I hear Gundam markers work well... But mine had both teeth painted, so I don't have that problem.

No, it just doesn't show that you should push on the outside parts of the roof to push them past the windshield.

Grand review. So, he does have the gold tooth painted then? I saw the film this morning, and thoroughly enjoyed it. And, as much as it pains me to admit it, I enjoyed Skids and Mudflap's antics - they are so much like brothers (and, having three brothers myself, really appreciate the comedy!). One ...

The Fallen is pretty neat. The spring loaded toes help with his balance in the right poses. And I'm surprised in how like Animated Shockwave, there's lots of tabs that make his vehicle mode very stable.
