On the back on the premium megatron box its his jet mode with a MUCH better face cover the completely covers his face when in jet mode, but on the actual figure his the SAME face cover from the original. Dont you HATE when toy companies do this!? :sad:

I don't know if you are aware of this but the pics you see on the boxes are usually prototypes and not pics of the version that is released. The toy companies need to have the packaging completed and delivered to the plant before the toys are manufactured. Sometimes there needs to be a running change to the mold due to safety, durability, and other factors so the final version differs from what you see in the pic. It happens so don't loose any sleep over it.

True, but you'd think with the Premium repaints they would have had it right.

I already have one, and yeah he looks awesome.
But almost all of my TF's are still sealed...
I've only opened my second Wreckage (I have opened the 2nd figure of all of my Classics),
and the 5 Scouts that I have.
I still haven't opened my 2nd Nightwatch, Offroad Ironhide, or Bonecrusher.

Talk about the Megatron box lying, yesterday at Target I saw a Leader Megatron box filled with a Beast Wars Optimal Optimus. Now, that's a lie. I was tempted to buy it anyway, because I finally would have gotten a good toy in a movie figure box.
