Reviews of Machine Wars Megaplex 

REVIEW SUBMITTED BY optimusprime7

Vehicle: Nice design and coloration , but all the robot bits hang from underneath as with all the new small Decepticons. Colored silver with painted black stripes on the wings. Only two stickers , one on each wing. No faction symbols. Three retractable langing gears on the underside , no wheels on them however. Arms and legs are visible on the the underside of the plane exposing the turquoise parts and joints. This mode could have been better.

Transformation: This is an autotransforming toy. Just push down on the nose and it springs into robot form. All you have to do is position the arms and legs and remove the two weapon halves from the legs and assemble the gun.

Robot mode: The bad plane mode is made up for by a great super excellent robot form. Very poseable with lots of ball joints , even the head has plenty of poseability. Primarily colored silver and turquoise in this form , the black stripes are on the back now. Can hold his weapon with two hands , a neat effect that most toys don't have. Looks more like Megatron than Megatron does , a clone done better than the original? Go figure. The only new character in the whole line. All in all the robot mode kicks.

Weapons: The two weapon halves in his legs form the gun. It looks dinky without the barrel extension , but really looks menacing with the barrel attached , one big freakin' gun.

Other notes: If you are imaginative enough you can make a gerwalk tranformation out of this mold similar to the original Jetfire.

Overall: Next to Mirage this guy looks the coolest , if only a good vehicle mode was present. Well worth the $4.99.

On a scale of one to ten this toy recieves an 8.9
