Hmm...to my knowledge, these are the elements that g1 megs and Movie megs share:
-Silver (duh)
-A helmet
-Wide shoulders
-Long legs
-Arm gun
The problem is that those same criterion can apply to like 900 other Transformers. The Megatron design is just... eck. The head is great, I think it passes for Megatron very nicely, the problem is with the body. He has no real shape and just looks like a jumbled-up mess. His hands looks like old noodles and his colours aren't agressive enough, even black would have made a better main colour.
I still prefer the Leader version, much better than the yellow-handed, blue (for some reason) Voyager version. I'm glad to see he has some head movement, though it almost looks like cheating a bit since it's just not locking in the head during transformation. If he could move his waist and had better colours, I would pick him up - but for the close to 90$ he would cost me in Canadian dollars, this one is an easy pass.
