Sharkticon Megatron Packaging Variant and Shoulder Fix Video

looks like they changed the name of the weapon to match what's on the instructions as well.

It's barely noticeable as it doesn't really inhibits the toy's function. If anything, the misassembly prevents the shoulder pads from being properly slotted in vehicle mode.

yeah looking at mine its really not worth the trouble

Jesus H. CHRIST, dude, stay ruttin' upset.

I doubt Hasbro changed the name due to fan input. I'm sure these have been packaged and ready for distribution for MONTHS. It's more likely that a change in the name for the figure and the weapon was made at a point where they had already printed a number of packages with just "Megatron" on them and "Tartarex Warp Sword" for the weapon. For whatever reason, they decided to change it to "Sharkticon Megatron" by the time they made solicitations to retailers. The instructions were probably all printed after the change, but only a portion of the boxes could be changed. They probably just used the "misprinted" ones anyway since it would save money and not really confuse the consumer anyway. It's Megatron either way, and you're not going to mistake it for something else.

if hasbro actually listened to us then the toys would be of better quality, the prices wouldnt be so high, stores would be stocked with figures & not empty, bayformers would've ended years ago & Bumblebee would be killed off. This was not changed cause of fans calling him sharkticon it was changed cause there was either an error in the printing department or the name was decided after the first batch of boxes were made. This is hasbro we're talking about they're not going to throw away a bunch of printed boxes cause of a name change or error.

Duuude...Megatron should totally get his own shark movie on the Syfy channel! Just so we could have James review it later:
