New Images of "Revenge of the Fallen" Megatron's Tank Mode!

hmm. That's... interesting. We'll see how this works out.

Cool... that seems to be a deluxe version (due to the size of the "performance wheels.") I wonder if there'll be a leader class version.

First, alien crap spaceship.

Now, alien crap tank.

No more, Optimus Prime! Grant us mercy, i beg of you!

Better just put that in the garbage.

Classic Unicron anyone ??

This looks like a pile of junk.

Looks like they made a movie version of Armada Megatron.

There will be no fun in Transformers anymore if Cybertronians wants to transform into alien-whatever-crap-vehimode.

Wow. Guess I'm in the minority of people who really like this design. The Cybertronian modes are more impressive and "alien" than yet another big tank ala Devistator/Brawl. Megatron is huge compared to the others, and an earth vehicle just wouldn't look as impressive or as frightening to humans as this design would.

The first thing I thought of when I saw it was the HK tanks from the Terminator movies.

Also, I agree about the Deluxe size theory. As for a Leader class version, it would only stand to reason that yes, a larger version would be made (maybe with working tracks?) since there are Voyagers of OP and Megs and a Deluxe of Brawl.

If he's gonna stay Cybertronian, why the need to reformat into tank mode? And what's the extent of his capability to keep on reformatting into other kind of Cybertronian modes?

The jet should be more powerful and agile than a tank on the ground. Should this be considered a "downgrade"?

It's really going to be senseless if this alien tank thing pushes thru.

I was just thinking along the premise of "robots in disguise".

We know Megatron in the first movie had no time nor reason to disguise himself with "local camoflauge" like the other deceps did. So, I'm just wondering what the story line reason will be in TF: ROTF for why Megs doesn't choose an earth mode to "disguise" himself (that is... if these pics are really what he's going to become.)

I agree with the others who said that they're thinking of Armada Megatron. If this tank design is legit and the spoiler of those autobots doing that thing together that the other thread mentions (trying to stay vague in case you avoided it), then it definitely appears that elements of Armada/Energon/Cybertron are making it into this movie.

If it's cool and looks good on camera and doesn't totally go against the TF universe, then I'm all for it.

(Funny how in the Transformers Universe, Megatron's alt mode keeps changing, but yet Optimus Prime, Starscream, and others do not. I just find that interesting when I step back and think about it.)

I think they can't give Megatron a proper alt mode that really clicks. So he keeps on changing.

This problem started in G1, the gun mode.
