Earthspark Deluxe Megatron

Earthspark Megatron, the baddie turned goodie has a design that I adore, it takes inspiration from G1, IDW and animated whilst also being its own thing
Megatron's Deluxe toy is definitely the best toy based off of this design, although it being a deluxe does limit how great it can be
The paint on this guy is great, the spots of red really make him pop, he's a little sparse on the techno detail but what is there is quality
The heads sculpt on this guy is pretty awful to be honest, it looks like he just pissed his pants with that wide mouth of his, and his chin is supposed to have an "M" on it but on the toy it just looks like a messy splotch
The posability on this guy is passable, nothing terrible but not super great or anything, he's missing lots of stuff that should be standard by now, such as no waist swivel and no wrist rotation, but he can still pull off some good looking poses
The kibble on this guy is almost not existent
He only has the helicopter Blades on the sides of his arms, and that doesn't really bother me to much, his back is extremely clean too
His transformation is fun to do, it's simple enough where it's not frustrating but complex enough to keep you engaged, this guy does use faux parts, meaning some of the vehicle parts you see in the robot mode aren't actually used in the vehicle, his cockpit is actually on the back of his shoulder pads, whilst the robot one is hidden underneath the helicopter. His fusion cannon also splits apart forming the wings(?) Which I think is cool
Dual bladed helicopters like him are a rare alt mode in transformers, the only other one I can think of is Animated Megatron
Overall Earthspark Megatron is a very good Megatron figure, looks great in both modes and is cheep, only $20. I recommend you get this guy.
