The shape reminds me of ROTF Megatron, which make less sense than using DOTM Megatron since the latter is in the ride.

I swear the Megatron in-ride changes between DOTM and ROTF. Or like a mix of both.
Rides should be the same for the SG & Hollywood one, but my observations were made in the SG ride.
When megatron fires the cannon straight at your face, he appeared to have a cannon arm, yet he had wheels on his legs, and chains around him like in DOTM.
At the end of the ride, where there is a full sized megatron hanging from the ceiling, it's obviously the ROTF model.

At the end of the ride, though it's difficult to tell, the model Megatron looks to have a piece of a truck bumper on his torso like his DOTM body had, as well as a six-pack set of abs that the DOTM Voyager toy had.

I just took a look at footage from the ride on YouTube. Looks like Megtron does have his ROTF cannon, like you say, but the rest of him looked to be his DOTM body.gavinfuzzy wrote:I swear the Megatron in-ride changes between DOTM and ROTF. Or like a mix of both.

Our friend and theme park enthusiast Ricky Brigante with Inside the Magic dropped by with a couple of video clips of the interactive Optimus Prime and Megatron walk around characters in action at Universal Orlando. Unlike the previous walk arounds, who only spoke prerecorded lines, these actually interact with guest. Transformers: The Ride 3D opens at Universal Studios Orlando on June 20th! We've embedded the clips below, you can read more at Behind the Magic by clicking here.

That Optimus has more personality than he had in the movies. "Cheese." 
And, OMG, that Megatron is a hoot! He's hilarious! "YOU CALL THAT DANCING! STARCREAM, DESTROY HIM! I'M EMBARRASSED NOT JUST FOR YOU< BUT FOR YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY!"

From our friends at Universal Orlando Resort ...
While Seibertron.com hasn't been to Transformers The Ride 3D at Universal Orlando Resort yet, we did get a chance to visit Universal Hollywood Studios last year. If you want a good idea of what to expect in Orlando, you can view our coverage and tons of photos from Universal Hollywood Studios by clicking here.

Life-Size Optimus Prime Prepares for Battle Atop Universal Orlando Resort’s TRANSFORMERS: The Ride – 3D
Optimus Prime is ready for battle – towering above the entrance to Universal Orlando Resort’s highly-anticipated, blockbuster attraction, TRANSFORMERS: The Ride – 3D. The addition of the authentically-sized leader of the Autobots Thursday morning, May 30, 2013 is one of the finishing touches to the attraction. Optimus Prime stands guard at 28 feet tall and nearly nine tons, beckoning recruits to join the resistance against the invading Decepticons. The mind-blowing, action-packed thrill ride, which was constructed in record time, officially opens June 20 at Universal Studios Florida.

Me too. I think if I was there at the moment, I'd be compelled to climb up there just to stand next to Prime.
I would stand next to Optimus valiantly.

The Optimus Prime and Bumblebee walk around characters took a break from Universal Studios Orlando last night to visit Marlins Park. The pair accompanied Timothy Stahlsmith as he threw the ceremonial first pitch in last night's game versus the Tampa Bay Rays thanks to the Give Kids the World Foundation. They remained on hand to take pictures with fans throughout the game. Video footage can be found on Yahoo! Sports by clicking here.
