Megatron featuring Nike Free 7.0 (2007)
Sports Label Megatron is a retool of Sports Label Convoy, one of the strangest examples of licensed Transformers products in that he transforms into a shoe. Something of a shellformer, this baffling incarnation of Megatron is primarily black and silver in his alternate mode as a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces (characterized as “electrical discharge cables” in his bio). In robot mode, he sports some additional red paint applications and a somewhat uniquely-shaped yet instantly recognizable Generation 1-inspired head. Also in this mode, Megatron’s feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he’s wearing himself!
His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his kibble in shoe mode. It can be held in his hands or mounted on his forearm in traditional Megatron fashion. In an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.
This mold might have been planned for a redeco into Sports Label Starscream, but that’s a bit vague.
