He's not that bad to be honest. True, he's not a gem, but not a piece of junk either. Of course, I know some fans will get the mold anyway, just for the Trailer the Japanese version has.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for Arms Microns, especially Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

Weapon: High Energy MASER Cannons
This might be the first movie OP I get, though I'm heavily considering the Takara version, mainly for the weapon since the trailer is basically just a box that opens — not even a roller or turret/claw thingy :-(
However, for some reason I like the huge fuel tanks on the Hasbro version which are missing on the Takara version. I suppose if I hold out there will be repaints galore and I'll get the Takara gun as a Hasbro option at a cheaper rate… or not.

Megatron will look decent with a different head (I hate "battle-damage"). I wonder if Fallback's will fit?

God help me I don't hate the Voyager Prime mold. I fully expected too, but it's pretty fun. The solar panels are rad. The robot proportions are suitably heroic and ballsy. The vehicle doesn't peg together as well as it should, especially in front, but it's fun.

I have this Prime - he's actually kind of charming in his robot mode,minus the RIDICULOUS gun. And those things on his back, those are completely wrong, especially when he's in truck mode. The ROBOT mode has the charm. The TRUCK IS GARBAGE. Even if it weren't for the inflated gas tanks that have no reason to be there, the whole thing barely holds together.

Get this if you plan to display him along other robot modes, but he's no fun to transform.

I'll have to get Megatron. But I hope they end up making a leader. And I wouldn't mind his right eye being smaller.

He's very not bad. I'm actually very happy with him. He's no Rotf Prime, but no doubt cool in its own way.

It's almost like I can't get into a new line without picking up Optimus first.

Megatron is the only one of these three I wanted, so I was very happy to find him yesterday morning. I love that his Mechtech weapon actually fits his body, and blends into his altmode. I also love the hidden hinge he has in truck mode.

I like Megatron (I like the concept of Megatron as a semi truck to rival Optimus), but I won't get this version.

I know there are no announced plans for a Leader-sized verson of DOTM Megatron, and I'll be disappointed if one is never released, but I'm not going to settle for Voyager Megatron no matter what.

Ironhide: I actually prefer this smaller version of Voyager Ironhide. I always thought the previous Voyager Ironhide figure was too big to really fit in with the rest of the figures, but the Deluxe mold is way too small.

So, just like with DOTM Barricade, in this case, I think smaller is better. I will definately be buying DOTM Ironhide.

As always, thanks for the pics, Ryan!

Wow, killer pics as always . . . must say I TOTALLY dig Megatron, despite the small size and lack of paint detail. Picked him up yesterday and couldn't be more impressed as it's just a very well-done concept.

Never liked any of the pics of Prime, but actually seriously considered dropping him in the cart once I had an up-close look. Decided to wait for the ultimate version that will hopefully be in scale w/ voyager Megs.

Quite impressed w/ Ironhide as well, but decided to pass. I've got the first version of movie Ironhide and am probably holding out for the leader class DOTM version. Anyone have a convincing argument for adding this one to the collection?

They all look fairly decent. I wont be picking up any OP's this movie, though. ROTF Leader Class Prime can't be beat, and I have two of them, lol. I'm happy Meg's got some nicer looking arms this time around. I'll be waiting for a Leader Class though. Anyone else have a hard time buying new versions of figures you're already happy with? It's almost like you're paying more for a new box than for a drastically altered figure. I can't see anyone buying these strictly for the mech-tech gimmick.
