Hasbro has made an update to their documents section and it's a good one at that. Just added are the instructions to the upcoming Dark of the Moon Voyager Megatron figure. While the figure itself is nothing new for us, seeing these images of it in high resolution is. Also of note, Hasbro's is apparently making the transition from the line art in their current instructions to gray scale images of the actual toy for the upcoming movie line.

We've captures a few images from these instructions below. They can be downloaded from Hasbro's site by clicking HERE. They're over 12MBs though so they may take a few minutes to open.

Finally hasbros going back to showing the actual toy in the instructions, after i got the preview prime i was hoping the transition would be for all the figures. Defiantly like how they highlight the areas of the figure now in each step, no more looking at the instructions then the figure and wondering what the hell your suppose to do for that step. Well thats one good things coming out of this toy line at least, hope it stays for future lines.

Even better that you can tell which angle you and the instructions are looking at compared to each other, preventing moving the wrong pieces or... even breaking them :oops:

I have to say, this new form of Megatrons has grown on me considerably. He'd probably be better in scale with a Deluxe sized Optimus since Megatron has the trailer and all.

I'm also glad to see the instructions are more clear now :APPLAUSE:

If only they had done this for ROTF Prime, I would have saved about an hour of my life :BANG_HEAD:

Megatron does look really cool too; I think I like it almost as much as his first movie form, but we really need a Leader though. I don't like Megs to be small in comparison to my other transformers.

Megatron is badass! i really like this mold compared to the other previous movie figures of Megatron. I'll still say Megatron, Shockwave and Skyhammer are the best so far.

Interesting that they're going back to pictures of the figure. Kind of cool, and hopefully it'll end up helping kids and preventing broken parts.

It's kind of funny that these images make the figure look better than the official promo pics. :lol:

We haven't gotten one decent Megatron in any of the movieverse lines! Sucks!

Wow, glad they posted an image of Megatron instead of someone like... say Sideswipe, cause then you couldnt tell if they were just grey background pictures or pictures of the figure in actual colors :lol:

Kind of reminds me of how the old Lego insructions used to look. Still no word on why they have a picture of their figure in robot mode but with a possible remolded head for a future figure. Like what's up with that? Would not mind a Black Shadow... Generations 2.0?
