It's because Hasbro designs their figures during development of the movie, so as to release figures when the movie comes out. If you'll notice, Leader class figures (being the most detailed) made
after a movie is released (Brawl and Starscream), as well as figures of characters whose designs haven't changed between movies (Optimus Prime) are generally phenomenal.
Meanwhile, characters who have not had finalized designs by the time Hasbro has to make the figures, generally have highly inaccurate designs (Movie Megatron, Movie Optimus, ROTF Megatron, and Jetfire). I'd say it's safe to expect a highly accurate toy for Megatron for the next film, unless his design drastically changes again.
