First of all I love this figure the idw stealth bomber is my favorite megaton design. The reason for the four stars and not five stars is that I received the gt-3 figure not the gt-2 which is listed. The gt-3 is a rerelease of this figure which shouldn’t be a problem but there are some significant differences between It and the original release. The first difference is that the whole figure is molded in translucent black plastic. This hasn’t affected the quality as far as I can tell but it is some thing of note. It also does not come with a battery for the led in his head and the wing tips/gun are much pointier than the original. My biggest problem with the figure actually comes from the way it’s packaged, the original is packaged in bomber mode but the rerelease comes packaged in robot mode which isn’t normally a problem except the instructions still start in vehicle mode making them very confusing and nearly useless. All in all this is still an amazing figure and I highly recommend it. Just know there are two different versions and there is no real way to tell which version you are getting.

This guy is a super pleasure to look at just sitting there with that kick-slag of a stand we got for him. He looks sleek in either mode and is fun enough to swap back and forth.

I will say though out of the box mine had a mark on his right shoulder which was a bit of a disappointment that I had to attempt to cover it up, but everyone's mileage with vary.

I really enjoyed this figure! I also own their Otpimus prime! They go well together! Oh do not forget to look up their Stunticons! GT is also Transformission! IDW is something this company does well!

Once again GT has successfully produced an outstanding "Masterpiece" style figure with Tyrant.

It is based on the IDW comic book "Bomber" Megatron upgrade (and original fan favorite source , Don Figeroa artwork).

The densely packed box has a slip cover with sub par art, silver embossed company logo and is relatively useful yet forgettable.

It has a two tier black foam inserts which snugly protect the figure, 2 arm cannon halves and multi part stand.

The stand is a nice addition complete with ratcheting joints, locks, swivels and purple translucent plastic. Very thoughtful.


The figure comes packed in bomber mode and you simply unpack and plug in the 2 cannon halves as both wing tips.

Screw holes have been plugged with painted plastic nubs to seamlessly showcase the alt mode.

Bomber mode is a tighly condensed and hefty ballistic boomerang of Decepti-badness. Gourgeous purple pin stripes.

And a nice red painted canopy. No landing gear, but the flight stand will have to do...

The inclusion of translucent mid section parts is welcome and simply adds to the majesty and quality of the figure.

The alt mode cleans up nicely with a few "hidden panels" swiveling around to conceal all bot bits.


The robot mode is a large, hefty and menacing spectacle to behold. Mostly black plastic, exquisitely built and fully painted.

The paint applications are simply outstanding, and a hallmark of the company, as all its figures excel in paint deco.

The silver inner limbs with a stroke of electric purple are great. The wonderful purple pin stripes which always form a capital "M".

Superb bot mode loaded with articulation and a few (much needed) ratchet joints. I'd like more, but it is more than Op Ex...


Highly recommended figure. And its a "Top 10 Third Party figure of 2017" for me... My score: 9.5 / 10

I take points away for the shoulders and back wing sections.

I feel engineering wise could have been more flexible and contain ratchets to hold up the weapons.

The small back wings do fold over but if a slider could enable them to sit flat on the back, it would be perfect...
