I won this little guy at Tradera.com from one of the forum members actually smile.gif




I've never seen one of the Choro-Q toys before, so this was a nice little surprise. Megatron comes in anime colors and this black version. He looks really cool, but then again I have this thing for super deformed characters ;)

A black robot with black and brown legs and groin, grey painted feet, a silver face with red eyes and a Decepticon logo on his chest. You can tell that this is Megatron, even though he's a bit cuter than usual, hehe.

No die-cast metal here. It's all plastic. But I don't see the need for this guy to be made out of metal.

The poseability is better than I thought. You can rotate his waist, and the arms can be lift up and rotated at the shoulders.
That's because it's part of his transformation, but it's still poseability in my book ;)  He doesn't come with any accessories at all, but his right arm that forms the gun barrel when transformed, reminds me of his fusion cannon. Was that made on purpose, or is it just by accident?

Transformation doesn't get any easier than this. You pop down the head, fold the arms up, fold the legs backwards and rotate them.








Voila! A super deformed Walther PK! There's a non-working trigger and safety mechanism as well. It looks good but serves no purpose. Wait a second! Actually, it's a pull-back super deformed Walther PK! You can see tiny little wheels on the right side of the pistol. Put him down on the floor, pull back, and let go. Zoooooing! Like shot out of a cannon! But that's all the fun there is with this toy, except for displaying or something like that. This is purely a novelty item in my opinion, but that's not all bad. I like this toy smile.gif And the robot and alt modes work out well for a toy this size. 8/10

nice review! The pull-back is there for a reason. Choro Q is normally a line of super-deformed pull-back toys. Choro Q Convoy and Megatron has had the most prominent display spot in our apartment for years: on top of the TV set. And they still do, even though practically everything else has been packed away in storage. We both love them smile.gif
