It Came from the Toy Chest Hungry for Energon and killing Prime

I got myself a Megatron! (Of the War for Cybertron Variety.)
I'm not much of a TF fan, but Megatron is one of those figures that I couldn't pass by. As I said before this is the War for Cybertron Megatron which looks like a G1 Transformer but with a modern update.
Old School Megatron turned into a gun... Most of the Megatron Toys turn into a tank due to some rule with Toy guns or something... This Megatron is no different. Now let's get to the review: 1= crap and 5= Awesome.

Articulation:
Megatron is fairly poseable many of his PoA are because of the transformation. 4.5
Paint and Sculpt:
Paintwise there's not much to write about. Most of his parts are molded in the same color as they're meant to. (Probably to avoid scratching on the transformation.) I accidentally scratched off a bit of paint from his "knee pads" while learning how to transform him... The Decepticon Logo is a tampo.
Sculptwise he's fairly accurate to the game design, which is G1 Inspired but with a Modern Twist. 4.5
Accessories:
H's got his arm cannon which is essential for his transformation. Also he can fire a missile. (trigger is on the cannon itself and it's a hairtrigger.) The missile has a nice range. Problem is thaty the cannon falls off a lot in Robot mode.
4.5

OVERALL 4.5
He's a nice figure but has a few flaws that CAN be annoying... Cannon falling or causing his arm to drop are the biggest offenders. On the Other hand there is a small surprise with Megatron!
if Transformed halfway he can be rearranged in a way that kinda looks like his G1 Gun mode (only from the side.)
