MechTech Megatron Transformer

The hottest film of summer 2011, Transformers: Dark of the Moon has meant a new blast of hot Transformer Toys from the new film.

Now, even being nearly totally destroyed by the AllSpark, the mighty Mechtech Megatron Transformer is back and he can be switched from robot mode to Mack Truck mode and back.

This is one of the best movie Megatron transformers made and is evenly proportioned too.

His face is torn up from the movie giving it a nicely realistic touch, there is a lot of detailing on this transformer and when he finally transforms into a trailer, the trailer can turn too!

The fusion cannon actually attaches to one side of Megatron’s arm and the cloak can be taken off so that his left arm is perfectly mobile.
This is a small but important point which really matters especially if you are in full combat with another child and his Transformer toy!

The articulation in this Mechtech Megatron toy is pretty good and you won’t get Megatron losing his balance and falling over when you change his pose (this is something that tends to happen with other Megatron models).

This transformer toy has a fantastic transformation into a Mack Truck which is very sturdy and has a fantastic level of detailing.

The MechTech feature of having a blaster that can convert into a fusion cannon makes this toy even cooler!

Transformers Mechtech Megatron Transforms Into A Truck

Megatron will convert from one to the other as many times as needed in order to do battle with the Autobots and with his old rival, Optimus Prime.

For Transformers Collectors, you will find that this toy has lots of great detail and the ability to convert this into truck mode makes it one of the best Megatrons around at the moment.

If you are looking for MechTech transformer toys, you might want to look at Mechtech Starscream and Mechtech Voyager Shockwave as well.

There are new Transformer toys, known as KRE-O Transformers which you might want to check out also.

Whilst the mighty fearsome Transformer robot toys are from the hit Transformer movies, the Toy Story movies have created their own action hero in the form of Buzz Lightyear and you can check out the Toy Story 3 Buzz Lightyear toy here.

Transformers – MechTech Voyager Shockwave

Check out the cool new Transformers: Dark of the Moon – MechTech Voyager – Shockwave. This fearsome and powerful Transformer villain whose main mission is to keep Decepticon plans secret from the Autobots.

Shockwave’s weapons consist of a Battle Cannon that can convert into a Particle Wave Blaster on one arm and on the other is a double end bladed sword – armed to the hilt and ready for any battle, that’s Shockwave!

Shockwave will go into battle with anyone at anytime, eliminating evidence and witnesses in his own ruthless, brutal and emotionless way.

You’ll know when Shockwave has hit because he leaves behind him a trail of devastation and destruction.

Changing from a battleready robot into a ground assault vehicle and back again, this sneaky and deceptive Transformer figure takes deep pleasure from fighting in the fiercest of battles.

Transformer Voyager collectors find this to be an awesome toy. If there is a negative point here, it seems to be that the figure is a little short in size.

Action Figures – Solving Problems & Creating Play

If you have children, you’ll know that they have at some stage in their lives played with action figures of sorts.

Whether they are Lalaloopsy dolls for girls or KRE-O Transformer toys for the boys (although girls love the Transformer toys too), action figures provide ample opportunity to teach children lots of rich language whilst they are playing. Our 7 year old can happily spend hours playing with his Megatron Transformer toy or enacting playfights with his brother who will also be deep in pretend play with his Toy Story 3 Buzz Lightyear toy.

It obviously doesn’t matter to them that these two characters are from 2 different movies and completely different in personality!

As well as enriching their language, you can use these action figures to act out scenes that your child might be potentially scared off, such as a visit to the dentist for example.

Using action figures to play out the dentist visit at home, during play, might be a good way to remove the anxiety your child might have about the impending visit.

Of course, not that Optimus Prime is going to the dentist, your child knows this but your child is controlling his action figure, Optimus Prime and if he manages to act out this role of what a dentist’s visit is like, then it might help when your child actually does go to the dentist in the real visit.

A lot of the anxiety we often feel is down to imagined events and most times, our imaginations give us the worst side of it when in fact the reality of the situation is not that bad. This is how it is for little kids also. They also have the disadvantage that they cannot express themselves as well as we can, so using action figures is the best way they can show us how they are feeling inside.

Never underestimate the power and use of action figures especially when it comes to role-playing. Often, you might be able to spot concerns that your child has but is not telling you, from the words and situations he is using whilst playing with his toys.

Collect the Best Toy Figurines

Toy figurines are a million dollar industry, and the toy companies are reaping huge profits from parents who can’t say no to their kids. Each manufacturer wants to make the “must have” figurine, but with the number of categories available, many “must haves” exist in the marketplace.

What little child does not love toy figurines or action figures? Set a child free in any toy store and he will immediately run to the aisle that is crammed full with action figurines. These small renditions of cartoon and movie characters, as well as comic book heroes, make little hearts jump with joy.

The most common types of toy figurines are:
Animated Figures – From Star Wars to Batman, these figurines reign supreme. Power Rangers, Superman, and DC Comics characters are also in this category. And just because you have one Darth Vader doesn’t mean that you are done. Newer and better Darth Vader action figures arrive on the shelves every day, and children’s TV shows are only too happy to introduce them to your kids.

Anime Figures – The big sellers here are Dragonball Z and Yu-Gi-Oh. Those two names alone can cause a room full of young boys to faint. Each individual in the series has an entire collection of action figures, so one is never enough.

Bobbleheads – Toy figurines in this category range from basketball stars to Betty Boop. What sets them apart is the bouncy movement of their heads. Many people place these figurines on their dashboard, so the toy figurines move as the car bounces along the road.

Movie Toy Figurines – You’ll find the full complement of monsters here, from Dracula to Wolfman, along with crossovers from other categories like Star Wars characters. If a movie is popular with children, you can bet that a toy figurine will follow. The success of Shrek and Nemo toy figurines proves that point. The recent success of the Toy Story and Transformer films has given rise to a huge business in the production of Transformer toys such as the Mechtech Megatron transformer to name but one from the collection of Transformer toys, not to mention the new KRE-O Transformer toys. Each Christmas, the Toy Story Buzz Lightyear toy peaks as one of the more popular toys to give as a gift to young children.

TV Toy Figurines – The toddler set will have hours of fun playing with toy figurines from Sesame Street and Blues Clues. As children age, their TV universe expands, and middle schoolers will be begging for Buffy the Vampire Slayer toy figurines, while teenagers will be stalking the mall for the X File’s Scully and Mulder.

Disney Toy Figurines – This group of toy figurines is huge, as it encompasses all of the Disney franchises, from Winnie the Pooh to Cruella Deville. New toy figurines are released each year, so people can collect vintage pieces like Dumbo and Mary Poppins.

Animal Figurines – Do you like horses? There are thousands of toy horse figurines from which to choose. How about pigs, or donkeys, or even penguins? These toy figurines are all available. Children can build a toy farm and stock it with the proper animals, or run a toy rodeo where horses can be equipped with the latest gear.

Historical Figurines – Pick a century, and you will find a toy figurine to fill it. Knights of the Round Table, Cleopatra, and Helen of Troy are just a few of the ancients who have been turned into toy figurines. Children can recreate the Alamo, or lead soldiers into battle against American Indians.

Military Figurines – These have always been popular with kids, but with the advent of the Iraq war, they are keeping a high profile. GI Joe stands next to paratroopers and World War II German soldiers in the toy aisle.

Sports Figurines – From Hulk Hogan in World Wide Wrestling to NBA stars, little boys and little girls have their sports heroes and now they can have their sports hero action figures. Miniature baseball players can move around imaginary bases, while aspiring tennis and golf pros can own tiny versions of their favorite players.

Whatever your choice of toy figurine, it is available somewhere near your house or your keyboard.

If you or your child really gets into toy figurine collecting, there are conventions dedicated to specific action figures or to pop culture, where many unusual and hard-to-find toy figurines are available.
