A member of ACToys.net has posted images of the upcoming 2 pack Animated Megatron figure. The photographer has also been kind enough to take comparison shots with the Voyager sized Megatron figure.

Some of the images have been hosted below.

Why is the coloring so different?

News Credits: 1082 · Mon Jan 21, 2008 5:18 pm

Probably the deluxe is an exclusive color scheme to the set... :-?

Ahhh ill just buy the voyager instead. it looks better.

Pink "battle damage"? Really, Hasbro, lay off the crack.

Overall, the figure looks good. If it wasn't for the battle damage, I would probably opt to buy the two-pack instead of the individual figures. Oh well, I like my Primes and Megs to be Voyager class or better anyway.

I think I’ll get this one rather than the voyager. Voyager Megatron’s cannon is way to big.

Bottom line, none of these figures have thrilled me yet.

Not fair. Just not fair.

I promised myself I wouldn't buy a single Animated toy and then Hasbro goes and makes a 2 pack of mini versions of Prime and Megs - the one thing I cannot resist. And better colors to boot.

My wallet hurts.

I do like that Megatron! Love the dark Grey.

I thought it was just the same figure repainted. Now I'll just pick up Voyager Megs & Earth Prime instead of this

One of the pics at the Actoys site linked in the first post shows the two from behind. That one makes it pretty obvious that they're two different molds, so I might have to pick both of 'em up. I'm really happy with the Animated show, so I might go nuts over the toys.

The pink actually makes sense. Energon bleeds.

I like the smaller one better. Ill be getting both since they both look good but i think they did a better job on the smaller Megatron.

So how many Megatrons will this line have?

A Voyager, a Deluxe, then an Earth mode?

Oh well, I just wanna know if the 2 pack will have a domestic release.

Or maybe it's prototype markings?

he looks like a deluxe.

The smaller class for Megatron looks better, I think. Something about him in robot and vehicle modes just seems to work better. The markings look simmilar to the ones on Prime. Could be a theme for the line.

oh well. so we will have deluxe magatron. but damn. this face is just ugly.

Mon Jan 21, 2008 6:37 pm

the delux megs ship looks a bit more coherent than the voyager one although the overall feel of delux megs is that hes a bit of a rush job, it doesnt look to have the quality of say delux prowl or cybertron prime, i could be proven wrong though once the toys are in hand. I like this set mainly for the prime. Hopefully it will be out soon so that at least kids know whats around the corner.

his facial sculpt is weaker than the other deluxes.

I liked voyager-sized Cybertron Megs until I saw the pic of just how BIG his cannon is, and how he seems to have a hard time standing up with it. That's very disappointing. :-(

Deluxe-sized Battle Damaged Cybertron Megs looks good, but since Cybertronian Megs TOWERS over Cybertronian Optimus in Animated, I don't know if the deluxe size really fits Megs. :roll:

I don't know, I may just buy the voyager Earth version.

megatron was in ghostbusters 2? he got slimed same color in the sequel of ghostbusters 2

News Credits: 8 · Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:36 pm

Voyager Superior, Deluxe Inferior.

Mon Jan 21, 2008 10:01 pm

Looks like the two transforms in the same way. Unlike Movie toys of different classes.

Mon Jan 21, 2008 10:15 pm

Poor Megatron, how come he did not have insurance at the moment of the collision??? no attorney you said either?? well I guess that's why he got that bad damage all over the mold

Man! that thing is ugly as (censored) I rather spend that money in whatever else than Whatevertron... ugly

Look closely at the pics, the pic with them getting ready to kill you with there cannons, Voyager megatron has clearly had his cannon changed, blades on the bottem going in different directions and the cannon is definently longer, i think you could have it shotter if you wanted, fairly cirten actualy.

As fo me i'll defenently be picking up voyager, delux is so small, and oce again, NO Sword, blades on the cannon do not count either, i'm making him a sword
