Geez! If Japan is making better molds then they're making infinitely better decos. Maybe Hasbro's lazy.

No wait... Hasbro will probably release this guy later and make sales off people who already bought greenietron.

Isn't this just a repaint of the Voyager Megatron mold? Looks the same to me...

This is so much better than the Leader one...but too out of scale! Dang it! Why couldn't the leader be this awesome?

For all practical purposes, this is "Premium Voyager Megatron"

So was the original green release from bad movie CGI... or just a setup for this repaint? Regardless, it's a character, and just a mold that I'll never like

Most likely simply that they got multiple versions of the CG early, and settled on one to make the Voyager from and one to make the Leader from.

Eh, I know that Valander.. I'm just still wondering why the first Voyager Megatron release was swamp green..

I hate the wings on my green Megatron cause they are not movie accurate. Why couldnt they clip em ???

Plus I just cant seem to buy the leader class Megatron every time I see that crippled looking arm...

I kinda liked the green. It made Megatron seem oxidized or rusted or whatever the correct term is, which suits a robot that's been dead in the water for a few years. (And kids apparently like bold colors as opposed to neutrals, which may explain a LOT of toy color schemes)

This version looks very nice, though I'm happy with rusty Megs.
