It seems like it was forever ago, but Takara’s Unite Warriors line once released a
completely random, out of left field box set of repaints in the form of the
bizarre and wonderful Grand Galvatron. Several subsequent sets have passes and
there was nothing else quite as strange. Until Megatronia came along.
Megatronia is a totally strange combiner team consisting
of five of the six members of the Victorion team, and exists, it seems, solely
to allow Takara to get some mileage out of the new heads and parts that were
used in that set. The team is comprised of leader, torso, silver firetruck and
“Empress of Destruction” Megaempress, built from spare Megatron parts and
basically being a crazed girl version of Megatron; pink helicopter and
Starscream fangirl Lunaclub; blue helicopter and Soundwave disciple Moonheart;
purple sports car and former spy in the employ of Shockwave Flowspade; and
yellow sports car and black market Swindle associate Trickdiamond. The four
limbs serve as the royal guards to Megaempress, and could conceivably be seen
as female versions of the male Decepticons they admire or were associated with.
