Come on guys (n gals) this only looks like a resin proyotype in very early stages? It even looks to be held together with tape! ;)

We all know by now that early versions like this end up becoming something pretty different further down the production line, if it even reaches that far! Look what happened with Acoustic Wave, how much did he change and is still not in production?

It seems to be becoming a familiar story where a number of companies attempt a version of the same character to varying degrees of success. Its always fun when theres a bit of competition to be had! :grin:

Judgement held until test run! :-$

Agreed, but I AM glad people are being vocal. That gives the company a chance to read the feedback. I think if this one were a bit more poseable, it would be a shoe in to purchase. We don't have anything to go head to head with Prime at that size and look anything remotely G1/Classics. (Classics Megatron with his green wings left something to be desired.) I hope we can get some knee joints, etc. I'd be glad to put this on the shelf.

What was Hegemon going to be sized to pair up with? Hmmm.

I'm hoping that Hegemon is in scale with iGear's Faith Leader if he is too large to work as classics Megs.

There were some comparison pics a while back. IIRC, he would be a bit taller than Classics Optimus.

From what I can tell I think (could be wrong) Faith Leader is a little taller than Hegemon. Looking at various size comparison shots makes me think Hegemon will come up to Faith Leader's shoulders.

Hegemon look superior IMO but the scale is perfectly out of place with everything.

I don't think it is. In most continuities, Megatron is usually taller than Optimus by at least a head or so. From what I've seen Hegemon is about right if you go that route

I thought by the Heavylabor comparison picture, he looke to be taller than classics Megs which is already a decent amount taller than Prime. Maybe not.

It didn't bother me as much initially, but I can't believe how much those legs are starting to bug me on Hegemon. So hard to make that alt mode without compromising.
