Why would he be canceled so early in the game? It's not like he one of those final wave figures that barely make it to markets.

And, Generation 2 had toys. Lots of them. Three-to-four years' worth.

You're comparing Beast Hunters to G2? :lol: You can't logically compare two UTTERLY different things like that, my friend.

Probably should have been more specific about that. I meant figures such as the Protectobots and {most} of the Stunticons.

His point still stands, I think. G2 had YEARS worth of toys, and BH Megatron isn't going to be some late-wave rarity.

I can seem the sharkticon but I think he has a stronger resemblance to skalor of the seaicans. I doubt that is what they were going for though.

I know the G1 figure is an Autobot but that's a technicality. Sharkticons are bad (dumb) dudes and I love them. :grin:

He was still Wheelie's amnesiac pet dog in the Dreamwave comics :lol: Out of all the Sharkticons in fiction, Gnaw is the sole individual, and was sold as such believe it or not.

However, Sharkticon Megatron is logically the last voyager of Beast Hunters, as he's the 6th announced of the 6 voyagers to be announced. Unless they pull a surprise toy on us, I think Mindmaster's worry (or a more logical worry if not) is that he shares Skyquake's scarcity, who was also the last voyager of a Prime subline.

Longevity aside, Beast Hunters & G2 both took existing molds and characters from their preceding lines and gave them tweaked decos with new accessories or new molds entirely along with a handful of new characters/toys. While for G2 it was most common in the beginning of the line whereas for Beast Hunters it is the entirety of the line, you can still make the connection.

Okay, I figured out what I love so much about this figure paired with the new Optimus. It's what it says about Megs's whole philosophy.
See, it's like Optimus wanted more power so he went to the gym and bulked up and built a jetpack to punch Megs straight out of the sky.
Megatron's response is to seek out the Sharkticons, who he's heard are unstoppable killing machines. However, unlike previous Megatrons, who would have just captured a few and sent them after Prime, this one killed one, hollowed out its insides and made himself a big, sharky suit of armor because that's what you do when you're evil. Heck, he probably made that gun out of a baby Sharkticon just to really make Prime mad.

Yeah, that facttion emblem is not a Decepticon one nor a Predacon one. Perhaps this signals a fourth faction, or a Decepticon subfaction, or even a redesigned Decepticon emblem?

Well, here's what it is.

Nemesis Primal wrote:An early draft of the Predacon insignia. Could that be our mystery symbol? ...Interesting, but I think it might be a goof that crept through to the stock-photo phase. I expect it'll be replaced with a Decepticon insignia on the version that actually hits shelves. (Or if not shelves, at least online retailers.)

Anyway, it's new, different, and vibrant. I think I like it. And the fish gun/sword amuses me.


Whether or not it's meant to be anything else, who knows. Also though, it could just be a prototype. Lazerback also had this insignia in early pics of him.

Removed images for space, especially since info was off.

But here's the problem: it looks nothing like that emblem, except maybe the lower part.

Is it a prototype? Maybe, but something about this emblem just doesn't seem right.

Ah, I see. Didn't give these clearer pics a good look before posting that and just assumed that the previous general consensus was correct. That is quite interesting then. It doesn't seem to make much sense to introduce a new faction insignia so late in the line (unless this is another prototype design or something) but I guess anything is possible.
