THe leader Studio Series Megatron,has to be one his jet forms,since it would be easier to design with the additional mass.So its has tobe his 2007 or Last Knight form.
Voyager it could be Galvatron,but I'dont see how much different he would be from the Age of Extinction toy,aside from scaling down his dimensions.

Something ain't right here.

I don't know if this is related, but SS Blackout and SS DOTM Megatron both have the same UPC codes at Target, and this isn't a one store thing, because every single Target I have visited has told me the same :-?

What about Optimus Primal? They already had him play a guardian role in the Machinima thing.

...Or is that the problem?

That UPC code must be for the whole assortment, not for the individual figures (like there are separate product codes for whole assortments, and figures in those assortments). It's already confirmed it's a typo from the OP's end.

I'm guessing it's the 35th anniversary edition of the figures with anime accurate paint jobs without the battle damage.

For anyone not in the know, Skipjack is an alternative name for Rampage and one that was used for a yellow version of his EZ Collection toy. My guess is that they're releasing the Rampage mold in yellow, which means we can have a more screen accurate Devastator!

Also, I'm curious as to what or who Iaconus is...

News Credits: 1350 · Thu Jan 02, 2020 5:06 am

Thanks Lore keeper! I did wonder on Skipjack :lol:

Iaconus... Iacon... A city former for Cyberverse?

Thu Jan 02, 2020 6:53 am

So, we have an Earthrise Megatron coming up. In my opinion, they're going to need to do something really good, like give Megatron a mace, for me to get another. The only reason I'm getting Earthrise Optimus is for the trailer, which I'm really excited for.

Cyberverse Ultimate Iaconus? That's new.

I'm totally down for the idea of new cityformer characters, though I don't think they could do tue concept justice st that scale.

I'm really surprised they're tackling Megatron again so soon. Optimus got another figure so they could finally give the G1 toy a direct update. With Megatron, that can't be the case, so my guess is that they're either going to do something completely new and out there with him (which would be very cool) or possibly do an update of one of his other classic toys.

Thu Jan 02, 2020 7:31 am

I’m hoping for a tfa inspired mode... a gun is unlikely and the tank has been overdone.

My hope is maybe Cybertron Megatron to go with the Cybertron Prime we got in Siege. I thought that was the case with the armoured car rumours but Double Dealer has muddied that somewhat. Maybe a generations take on Animated Megatron.

That reminds me, I'm surprised we still haven't seen a proper reveal on the Takara Super Megatron toy. Also, that Armada Optimus. I hope they don't get canceled.

I'm hoping that we see more on them soon, but I think the Seacons took precedence. Can't see either of them being cancelled.

Ss blitz scream will be a must for me. The a3 toy is just too expensive for me though the head looks like starscreaam with a gas mask, hope the studio series is similar.

Fingers crossed for a gun mode earth rise megatron that isn't undersized.

Would you settle for a blue Nerf gun with an orange tip? I doubt a gun mode authentic to the cartoon colours Megatron will go over well, in such a mainstream line to boot.

I'm curious about Megatron's alt mode as well. My guess is that Hasbro will give him a half-ass "submarine" mode and have no mention of a gun mode nor have instructions for said gun mode. However, the gun mode is actually there, but it will be dubbed "fan-made" when it starts showing up on social media. That might be the only way they're able to slip through with that loophole.

any G2 color nerf gun would be fine for me, the classics toy was okay and could do with an update.

News Credits: 1350 · Thu Jan 02, 2020 9:27 am

I'm personally fine if no Megatron toy ever has a gun mode ever again as it was a silly idea in the first place as pointed out in the joke that featured in the Ghostbusters x Transformers crossover comic. The one where Prime joked to Venkman that he started the civil war by accidentally stepping on Megatron in gun mode.

A submarine mode is possible but again, only in non G1 colours. Shockwave got away with it because of colours.
