Great repaint,Much more menacing. But still not a fan of this mold with its wimpy left arm, Even if it is giving the finger.I keep mine in Tank mode because my version is possessed. It randomly glows and makes transformation noises in robot mode. Its sometime caused by suttle vibrations by simply walking near it.Wonder if we may still get a Leader DOTM Megatron based on the Mach truck mode. The Voyager was great But no real menacing next to Leader Optimus or Sentinel.

I will legit cry the day we get a true dotm leader class megatron but I know it will never happen.

He doesn't have a wire in the arm, all the electronics are in the torso. He doesn't have an elbow because of the missile.

I think he does have a wire in his arm, to activate the blasting sound every time the missile fires.

It can't be just the missile, as the mechanism would take no more space than the forearm to work. LC Starscream's missile pod took even less space.

In robot mode there's a tiny button in the torso that the shoulder joint presses when you move the arm. In vehicle mode the button on the cannon also presses a button on the torso. The firing mechanism is pretty far back because the missile fits inside the arm instead of sticking out like it does on Starscream. Plus the arms comes off really easily and there's no wire to be found there.

Thanks for the explanation, Nub. I did not know that.

TransformersAsia.com has posted official images of the upcoming Asian market exclusive Megatron: Dark Energon Edition. The figure is a redeco of the Transformers: ROTF Leader Class Megatron featuring a "Dark Energon Edition Metallic Finish". He's scheduled to release December 14th is Asia excluding Japan.

Images mirrored below.

Love that color scheme! Very Skywarp-ish, this one might be worth looking into

They're making the color scheme better, but I'm still not folding any cash for it.

Yea, it is a nice color scheme, but its still a crappy mold.

Great color scheme.Not a big fan of the puny left arm or non articulated right arm. Would have liked a new leader class version of DOTM Mack Truck Megatron.

Definitely going to get this. Hope it is not too expensive though.

I believe the "lipstick on a pig" expression applies here.

Too bad that we got several good Prime molds but Has/Tak could never get movie Megatron right.

that's too logical.. clearly leader bumblebee was a better choice. lol

This could possibly make a new color for TF4.

It's in DOTM packaging, not TF4 packaging.

And being sold as an Asia market exclusive would be a really BAD way of promoting TF4 to American (and, for that matter, Japanese) consumers.

I think he means he wants this to be Megatrons new color scheme in TF4. Like...he's revived by Dark Energon.


Or Galvy.
