I disagree. I have a really old beat up Jetfire and a newer Macross Supervalkrie version from Bandai and both are still great figures (well, Jetfire would be if he were complete.) I find him as cool looking and fun to play with as any of the newer Cybertron stuff. Sure, he's not posable, but according to a bunch of opinions on the movie toys here, posability does not make the toy.
Back to the topic at hand. Very nice gallery here, Seibertron! I'm trying to keep an open mind about the movie and the figures. So far I don't find it much more objectionable than Armada or Energon (expecially Energon Prime.) I think Megs here doesn't look all that bad. I'm glad to see he keeps his arm cannon.
And on that, there is one thing that bugs me about that cannon. Why is it on his left arm? I know it's picky, but it smacks of a designer/director/whoever bowing down to fan demands for an aspect of Megatron we want to see, yet attempting to still make it unique to his idea by putting it on the left arm instead of the right. It bugs me. If they want to do the Transformers, why not be true to the genre? Why do they have to push things to the very limit (and beyond according to some fan reaction) to make the movie unique to themselves? Why isn't Ironhide a dark maroon rather than black? Why do Hollywood types get so close to doing something right but still become lazy and not follow through with the research (ask me about the "Roll program" part in Armegeddon sometime for a big rant)? Okay, enough of the mini rant.

(I answer to Ag or Ags. Agamemnon is too long to type. Plus, there is something elemental about calling me Ag.

I think Seibs forgot to move the tips of the wings down in Jet mode. Don't they go like this:

HOW?!? How on Earth (or Cybertron for that matter) does he look anything like a cylon raider, and anything other than aweful?

Your kidding, right? I know Ryan's already covered it, but still...... I flipped through the whole gallery before posting here, there's no way in hell that's a FAB. I personally don't expect the FABs to be any bigger than deluxe class.
DISCHARGE wrote:Robot mode looks good, but I can't make out a jet. Looks more like a Predacon, or some kinda ice Pokemon, in the alt mode.
I didn't think about it when I was looking at the gallery, but I've got to agree here. It is a pretty good robot mode. I dunno about not making out a jet mode, it does look more like a predacon/ice pokemon.
edit: 1 last thought on this gallery that I wanted to write to begin with but left it out when I posted: Damn am I ever glad G1 Megatron was never reissued here in America. Moreover I'm kinda glad I don't still have it. I just don't like that figure anymore.
