Here is me, my cousin, and brother playing with G1 Megatron on Christmas day 1984. My older brother is the one shooting the photographer. 
You can also see a Zartan in my hand if you closely enough.

My haul this week:
G2 Megatron there was pretty bare-bones, but I'm hoping $30 CAD was otherwise a good deal for him. He's a beefy boi! And just kinda towers over everything, too. Makes the upgrade from his Japanese counterpart, Megastorm into Gigastorm, seem like less of a big deal.
His head reveal doesn't seem to work the way it's described in the instructions (I looked them up online), and trying to press the head down earlier jammed it. I was able to get it back out, but I'm treating that carefully from now on -- especially since the hinge has some stress marks on it already.
His tank mode is amazingly solid. No rotating turret, though it can tilt up, but the way he's built, you'd have almost no idea he was a Transformer at a glance.
No idea if the electronics still work. I'm more focused on making sure that batteries weren't left inside and the screws for the cover aren't stripped.
Now, as far as I'm concerned, he doesn't need his accessories, strictly speaking, but they might be nice to have. Anyone know if there are any good repros out there?

"Megatron G2 1992" doesn't have the same ring to it as "MEGATRON RULES!", but the spirit is there, I guess.
When I had one, also second hand, it's head was very similar; head reveal didnt work right and also had stress marks around the hinge; probably worse as I recall one side was nearly broken off. But despite that; yeah he was an amazing figure for his time.
You should change the S to Z for Megatron Rulez!!
An old one, but suddenly relevant to the conversation!
old pic of some Prime Toy repaints ... cause Prime is old now
IIRC Zordbuilder pegs/ports are also compatible with the energon combiners. Or whatever the combination system the Legacy Megazord uses.

Megatron: "Be hold, my Ultimate weapon and my true sucessor!!"
Lol I didn't expect to get that many likes from that seeker trio picture... anywho here's what I did with the Deluxe Prime Megatron - also in the back you can make out a bit of my 4th Prime Starscream repaint -Terrorsaur. Not sure if I still have any solo shots of him. anywho.
It's probably cuz it's so rare to see all three of them together.
I'm still disappointed they didn't have Megatron take Galvatron's power by killing him and becoming a Galvatron himself. Especially with the way the lighting kinda makes it look in some of these shots.Those two have come a long way since Megatron... y'know, killed him.
