i dont see what the problem is with that dumb watermark on his face yeah it bugs me and it makes no sense but if want to see his face loko at the concept art unless they kept his face the same which is the only thing i can come up with or his face is differnt from the concept art that we saw in the first place.

i like him arm is werid better than the first one he looks smalle from his first counterpart leaderclass image maybe its the image.

so that why his left arm is giving off a frenzy vibe, and if he is made up of the fallen cons there could be a bit of Jazz in there too.

I think actually the Autobots retrieved Jazz's torn body parts at the end of the movie remember? I remember Ratchet holding his body and telling Prime that it is not reparable.

Those designers have to go. That really gets on my nerves too.

looks alright the regular arm is kinda dinky lookin but I'll prolly pick him up. He looks way better than the first release. I guess he really is in rotf afterall.

the Bio reminds me of when Megs was stuck in Unicron in the Energon show :-?

They just can't get Megatron right. Both in this movie and the last, his alt modes were athletic and muscular. Both toys look dumpy.

And I really liked the new tank design too.

He looks AWESOME! This time we don't have to worry about crap colors like on the first leader megatron. This one already looks premium-worthy, but a metallic finish would be the best ever.

Sun Feb 22, 2009 11:57 am

Everything about this figure looks amazing to me, except for the crippled lookin' left arm...

News Credits: 4 · Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:07 pm

I think Megatron should be happy to have been destroyed, he looks better now

. I agree with those that said that it would look even better on a metallic finish.

Maybe on his comeback his voice is altered and more metallic and angrier, you know? I wish it would be Frank Welker doing his original voice this time, he is mighty Megatron.

If I remember correctly, Frank Welker is voicing in this movie this time around and when i heard that and the fact that Megatron might comeback i immediatly thought Frank would do Meg's damaged voice. It makes sense..

I really hope it will be him! I really want to hear Frank Welker in the movie. Even if it wasn't Megatron or Soundwave but another character, he is really excelent and I want to hear him doing some character! But of course, especially Megatron and Soundwave

. His absence was my big disapointment on the 1st movie... I'm not saying I didn't like the movie or Hugo's performance though, I liked, but was disapointed that it wasn't our dear Frank Welker, the mighty Megatron, Soundwave, Skywarp, Rumble, etc.

Is that an improvement?

Yes! At least we get some details!

Actually, I thought it was more like Galvatron's alt mode...

They've mis-transformed his feet on the box art. If you look at the pics on the forum there's pic of his actual FOOT. I'm much happier about that. I'm not happy that he only has one articulated finger though... I hope his head can turn.

Niiiice... looks pretty dangerous :twisted:

lol..

I only hope Megatron has stable feet, a turning head and decent joints/poseability..

Cant wait to see more of this guy out of the box

I wonder if the LEDs in his chest and head are gunna be red though?...

100x better than the first movie. Great alt mode. Will pick up this, Sideswipe, Skywarp and Ramjet so far.

Looks like I'll personally be providing the bailout to Hasbro this year... =P~

That right arm reminds me of something. lol failbots

Sun Feb 22, 2009 3:53 pm

Finally, a proper cannon for Megatron, none of this stupid combining arms crap. I don't feel so bad about not having gotten the first movie's version now. Not that I felt bad before because I really didn't like that one's design.

News Credits: 4 · Sun Feb 22, 2009 4:12 pm

I don't understand how people seem to like this. I can't believe how bad the tank mode is. The legends version might even have a better looking tank.

Compared to the awesome job they did on Optimus, it's like they didn't even try.

This figure is significantly better than the last Megatron. It's got a proper fusion cannon and looks a lot bulkier. I don't understand the fuss about the small arm. He's still not completely repaired, but obviously doesn't want to wait around to get a bigger arm, because he doesn't need it.

The autobts are going down the fallen,Megatron returning,and devasator that just adds to the problem.I think times on the decepticons side now.

Sun Feb 22, 2009 6:23 pm

Cooming soon from some secondary manufacturer company...ROTF Megatron: Arm Bulk.

News Credits: 665 · Sun Feb 22, 2009 7:32 pm

LOVE IT! INSTANT BUY!

I was really hoping they would nail the Leader-class Megatron mold, and make something really wicked looking - this certainly does not disappoint! Shame I can't see the head sculpt though... if they ruin that, it could easily ruin an otherwise brilliant looking figure.
