I grew up in the 80s with the original G1 but I far prefer the 2007-2017 movieverse.
But what the hell man, that Megatron doesn't look like a Transformer.
Transformers Bay are just action movies with alien robots with a Transformers sticker slapped on it with some names and some mild references.
Transformers began in 1984 as a reuse of different japanese toylines (that didn't even scale with each other and led to such idiotic things as Megatron being a handgun against Optimus who is a truck) repurposed as alien robots with the then new Transformers 'sticker' slapped on it (wonder if the japanese fans of those original toylines made such a fuss...hard to tell without the internet back then).
Megatron looks cool as an alien robot. He's not a Transformer and he's not Megatron.
Yes he does. Yes he is and again he is.
The first Leader toy was horrible, couldn't stand and the colors my god.
It was a fun toy, it could stand and the colours were alright.
I hope they focus on the Bumblebee movie from now on studio series wise.
I really don't. Also if that movie is indeed in some kinda messed up continuity with the Bay directed movies then 2007 Megatron is the Megatron in that (still frozen). Which of course doesn't make a lot of sense with such different aesthetics but that's just one of many continuity issues that film has made.
I am looking forward to that combiner called Devastator, I like his colors and design (not how he was handled as a character in the movie) and again he's not Devastator. But he's a cool looking gorilla combiner.
Yes that is Devastator. Not 'your' Devastator but it is a Devastator. But yeah he's a cool looking gorilla combiner too and certainly makes a lot more logical sense than G1 Devs in many ways (colour scheme and posture due to the huge mass of a crapload of metal being obvious).
I'm still puzzled about the Megatron figure pic I have and not sure I can even uploaded since the tweet I got it from has been deleted.
