Described on-package as a “fusion blaster”, Megatron’s gun mode is apparently based on a Nerf N-Strike Maverick blaster, and decked out in a safety-regulation-friendly color scheme consisting of lots of green and purple (in an apparent homage to his old G2 colors), plus bright orange on both the tip of the barrel and the scope. but not a western market gun until 2006 when Hasbro brought out their Classics line and would take Megatron back to his roots as a transforming gun, complete with a working crosshairs in his scope and a spring-loaded clicking trigger. He would continue be made as different non gun toys, sometimes a tank, sometimes a jet or car, he even was an alligator and a dinosaur. So Hasbro picked a Tank form for Megatron in green and purple but he was not a hit like his predecessor was. Then Hasbro came along and scooped only one of these gun robo toys and made him Megatron, but that was the mid 80’s and gun toys were still ok to give kids, so when Hasbro stopped the original Transformer line G1 and came out with G2 times had changed and gun toys were now a no no in the brand new decade of the 90’s. So the toy was released with all those parts. the main character used a Walther P-38 with a stock, scope and silencer.

part of the name came from the TV show called Man from U.N.C.L.E. It is interesting to note that the U.N.C.L.E. This color scheme was used for all Hasbro releases of the original Megatron. Only one color scheme, silver with black handle in gun mode with red inner arms and legs, was released. This figure came with all of MC-12’s parts, as well as the gun extensions. It came with blue inner arms and legs, and was either black with a brown grip, or grey with a black grip in gun mode and looked exactly like a Walther P-38, then we get to MC-13 Gun Robo Walther P-38 U.N.C.L.E.
MC-11 Gun Robo S&W Magnum 44 This figure had a revolving chamber, and came with either a brown or gold hilt and looked exactly like a Smith & Wesson Magnum 44, MC-12 Gun Robo Walther P-38 This toy did not include any gun attachments, but had a gun, sword and plastic pellets. The new figures were every day objects that transformed into robots and among these were three guns. in 1983 Japanese toy company Takara added new figures to their Microman line, until then the figures were human like and were similar scale to Star Wars and G.I.Joe figures, I actually had a bunch of the american counterparts Micronauts. So let us take a look at him and his humble beginnings. But he has been plagued with many problems since he was named way back in 1984. Don’t miss your chance to own this extremely rare figure at a great price.Megatron is one truly bad guy, and the main nemesis of Optimus prime. This would make a great addition to any vintage Transformers collection.
Also included is the clear plastic insert that goes on top of the foam tray unfortunately it was almost impossible to get it so show up on a white background. The box is in great shape, however does show some signs of wear from age/storage. The figure comes complete with all scope accessories, sword, gun, pellets (still on the sprue), and paperwork. Microchange: MC-13 Walther P38 U.N.C.L.E. Released in 1983 as part of the Microchange toy line, UNCLE Megatron is the last iteration of the Walther P-38 mold to be used in the Microchange line, and is the one that most closely resembles the figure that was later released as Megatron under the Transformers brand. This toy was also released in both MC-12 colors as e-HOBBY exclusives. This color scheme was used for all Hasbro releases of the original Megatron and the Japanese reissues.
