Welcome to my latest review here on BZPower.com. This time, I’m going to do a review of another Transformers toy.

Alternity Nissan Fairlady Z Megatron in Diamond Black.

Vehicle Mode:

The vehicle mode of Megatron is amazing. It’s a Nissan Fairlady Z/370Z. I have always liked this car, and TakaraTomy has done a great job molding in all the little details.

The first thing you notice when you pick the car up, is how heavy it is. This is due to the interior parts being made out of die cast metal.

Open up the hood, and you’ll see what’s supposed to be the engine. Pop the trunk, and you’ll be greeted by a nice view of Megatron’s feet. Now, when you open the doors, you’ll see that the steering wheel is on the right. Makes sense, since this is a Japanese product. The car seats look rather comfy too.

Also RUBBER TIRES!

 

 

 

Transformation:

First, let me say that TakaraTomy wins for their easy to follow instructions. Even though the sketches are small, they’re detailed enough to be able to see how the transformation goes.

As for the transformation itself, it’s a lot of fun. Much more fun than the transformations from the Revenge of the Fallen line.

For instance, the way the door panels slide out to form shoulder armor… Reeks of awesome.

There are a lot of steps to complete, but after transforming Megatron a couple of times, you’ll probably remember the details.

Robot Mode:

When you’re done messing around with Megs, you’ll be rewarded with a very nice looking figure. Megatron looks like a heavily armored Samurai. From the over-the-top shoulder pads to the ‘loincloth’ armor, it’s all awesome.

You’ll also find that there’s -a lot- of detail sculpted and painted onto the armored parts.

Megatron’s main colors are black and red, which suits his character just fine. Not to mention it’s one of my favorite color combinations…

His weapons consist of ‘Gravital Blades’ on his wrists and ‘Tesseractal Swords’. Let me just say that they look amazing.

He has a lot of articulation. Head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles.

 

Notes:

- At $47.95, he was pretty expensive for me. But that’s what you get with Japanese Transformers.

- He is Deluxe sized.

- Due to the price, he’ll be my only Alternity product for a while.

- GET HIM NAO!
