Not sure what the policy on this figure is at this point so I'll only post the link rather than embedding the video, but here ya go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z2Hm11fqwc

Staff, if this needs to be removed I apologize in advance.

I wouldn't be surprised if either this topic was deleted or that video is deleted in the near future. In any case, I'm not really liking the figure too much anymore. I think I'd be more on board for the whole "robot in a cloak" thing if the cloak was actually fabric. Just looks pretty cheap to me.

It's smaller than I thought it would be, but I do like it more than I thought I would.

I like the figure and can't wait for its release. However, the video is more a chance to show it off than what you'd typically call a review.

I really like the tattered cloak look. Gives him a classic monster sorta vibe. If anything it's never been done with a TF before and honestly, to me, it doesn't look half bad.

He looks very skeletal as well. With the right paint apps and that cloak on he could look quite decrepit and monstrous.

He's a TRUCK though!! don't know what to think of that.....he must be in a really bad way if he takes on a truck alt mode.

I like the video - it fits the music in a fun Hammer-House-Of-Horror kind of way.

Tis a shame he's a bit too small to be in scale with Voyager Prime. Yawn, they'll never get these things right.

Pleasently suprised with this Megs! :grin:

I like the concept/design, but the color scheme is SO BLAND and it's too small.

Also, that was hardly a "video review". More like a bunch of pictures with background music.

But thanks for posting it! I was glad to see it.

That was... 3 minutes long.

It is too late! I have already viewed the video and committed it to memory! Down with censorship!

Ahem...

I am sort of underwhelmed by the figure at this point, yet impressed by a couple of its features. He seems to have a proper arm cannon now, or at least a closer approximation of the G-1 style weapon. Having two proper arms now is also a plus. Not to comfy with megs being a truck now; it somehow seems...wrong. I also fear the rubber cloak accessory, as it will likely break down into a pile of goo over time, or worse, cause any plastic on the figure it touches to melt or discolor. Well, discoloration would only improve this figure's paint scheme, but melting would be bad.

Don't forget that Scavenger used the same tattered cloak fashion statement when he first appeared in Armada! :-B

I really don't know what to think. The figure itself looks pretty cool. The alt mode looks good (I don't know if I like Megs as a truck) but it's a bit under-sized. The bot mode looks cool too, but why do robots need to wear clothes? I will have to wait to see what it looks like when I have it in-hand.

This movie is going to have some explaining to do. Megatron looks like he has been beaten down. Why? Prime died and he looked as good as new at the end of ROTF. Megatron decided to take an Earth alt mode. That is a pretty dramatic change from the first two movies.

In before deletion!

I like him! I just hope the finished product will have more paint apps, especially the cloak. Some camo on that cloak would really add to it. He should be a little bigger too, IMO.

But enough criticism! He's pretty cool.

He lost his arm and half of his face got blown off...

That is just horrible. Way too small and bland.

News Credits: 3 · Wed Jan 05, 2011 11:23 pm

The figure's not too great. I'm MUCH more excited about what this figure represents. Megatron in the next movie had better be damned cool looking like that.

what a piece of utter trash! junk! crap!

Jesus!! I Was more impressed with the half tank and cybertronian jet mode from TF2 WTF!!??

so now megatron is a Truck? a green military truck in the new movie??

this sux!!! sorry guys..

I just can't get on board with that.. Blech!! :-x

what the hell?? I mean who is he? Doctor doom wanna be? what's with the stupid cape and oh my god! what a freaking waste!

they could have rebuilt or upgraded the TF2 movie version and made a better toy.. kinda like the voyager megs in that video.. only better and leader class..

instead they go with a combine concept of megatron and octane..??

that's just stupid..

again I am sorry.. but not a fan of that Megatron..hand or no hand..
