It looks pretty decent so far; I'll have to see more pics and if it's not too expensive I may have to get one.

RotF Leader Megatron, one of the few molds to get two black repaints, the other being RotF Shadow Command:

Quite a feat :)

What's got me befuddled is that this seems like it's suddenly trying to introduce Dark Energon into the Movieverse. :roll:

I actually like how it looks, but not enough to import it.

Admittedly, I may just be starved for a decently-sized TF: Prime Megs. Can we get some Decepticons at the Weaponizer size?

Well, we may not get DOTM Megs or Shockwave in LC, but we will get G1 edition SCreamer and this. Thank you Takara :x , you made me more loyal to you than the Bumblebee loving Hasbroke :P , because I knew the DOTM line is still alive in Asia. ;)

Anyway, did you guys know he's based on his Prime counterpart's DE repaint?

Or they could give him the European voice chip. Unlike most other electronic Movieverse toys where every line but their name got snipped. ("Jetfi-" "-tarscream!") Megatron dropped the "I am" but got an awesome laugh more evil than the Animated Leader.

Or, they could give him a new chip with a DotM quote to complete the trifecta of Megatrons. (though all represented by a single mold) Good lines would be:

- *grwll* All hail Megatron!
- You know what you are told, which is nothing!
- He is my greatest triumph...
- Here we are... fight us now!
- YOU DARE LECTURE ME, SLAVE?
- It will be me, it will always be me!
- THIS IS MY PLANET!
- Who would you be without me, Prime?

It looks awesome...and then I remembered the arm. A couple of good arms and he'd be a kick-ass bot. Maybe a good base for someone to customise an IDW "rebuilt" Megatron or DJD Tarn?

That mold needs a lot more than a good paint job to look good.

I don't own this mold, and I LOVE this new color scheme. I'm a sucker for the black-purple-silver combination. I hope this gets a domestic release (which I doubt), but I'll import if the price isn't prohibitive.

I'm really liking this paint scheme! If it ever comes domestic I may bite, but I doubt that'll happen.

Even though the dark energon makes no sense (movie wise), I gotta say... This is the superior color scheme of all the RotF Leader Megatrons, he look's awesome!

Love the colors, hate the mold! Would love to seen the colors on a update leader class version of Megatron, but not this. Oh well, money goes to something else.

I wouldn't mind seeing it on the voyager mold.

Goofy crab claw aside, that was a decent rendition of the character.

So the packaging is a hybrid between the DOTM design (background, logo, color scheme, aesthetics) and ROTF (text details, information, gimmick promotion). Neat. That makes his a unique, custom packaging. 8)
