Doesn't the currrent instruction book story mention Megatron's demise anyway?
Maybe that's also the reason for not having another figure.

Could someone please remind me of when the US Toy Fair is happening? Do we usually get pictures for that?

Yeah, Megatron "died" in the sixth chapter. Then again, we don't know what kind of impact, if any, it will have on the third season. It could've been like you said; a reason not to give Megatron a new toy.

Or, a reason to resurrect him in a new (beast/dragon) form?

But I digress.

That's is some mighty fine, be-yoo-tiful fan art.

Here's two more for the digression:

Sadly, death is death in TF: Prime. when they kill a character, there are no resurrections (only the occasional zombifications).

Laserback "kills" Megatron by rigging the derelict spaceship he was exploring to explode; not out of any desire for either Predaking or himself to take Megatron's spot but because Laserback just wants to see the world burn (so to speak).
Granted it's not clear if this applies to the show or not...

So Lazerbeak is the Joker? If Meg's is killed in the show, I hope it's more interesting than that, like in a big, epic battle scene for instance. I don't want to see a DOTM-like death for Megatron ever again!

lulz, yeah, sounds like a recipe for Galvatron.

That is the Beast Hunters Voyager Prime. It looks like they gave him different weapons and he probably gets a trailer that he attaches to to bulk him up. If you look at the upper body, it is clearly the voyager mold.

All I see is another disaster like Ultimate Optimus Prime from DOTM. Of course opinions are like @$$e$...

It's an entirely new mold, friend. "Leader class but bigger," is how it was pitched.

Ultimate Optimus Prime was pitched as the largest Optimus Prime to date. Technically, when added to the trailer, it was. But, the cab by itself was barely voyager class.

If it is an entirely different mold great. From the blurry picture we have so far; I say it is the voyager mold we have already seen (and some have), and all they are going to do to make it bigger than leader class is include a trailer that builds onto his body to make him larger. That's just what it looks like to me. And I can be completely wrong.

Why would they say "This is the Ultimate toy" and show the Voyager toy instead?

The reason it looks similar to the Voyager is because it's a consistent look between size classes.

Every Animated Optimus Prime toy looked similar to each other regardless of size class.
