Truthfully, for such a major character the G1 (and G1 inspired) releases of Megatron have been weak more often than not.
Here's a dark horse - Reverse Convoy. Who is familiar with that one?

I can see it's a repaint/remold of Hero G1 Megatron, but who is he and where does he come from?

Bizarrely, kind of like Powermaster/Ginrai.

The upcoming TR Voyager Optimus and Megatron interesting you much?

Haha, I se what you did there. Indeed you could get a Megatron with an ptimus head and vice versa.
And since I am here, I was curious of something. Generations Leader Megatron was announced before I got into the comics but I remember people saying he would be great for a lost light shelf, or great as an IDW Megs ect.
Well I was reading the latest issue of IDW's MTMTE and ... IDW Megs doesnt look like Gen Megs at all. Its a different head, cannon, body, legs, abdomin, back, shoulders everything. The only reference I can see is that you can give him an autobot symbol but aside from that (and maybe his crotch), he's as IDW looking as the G1 toy is. The upcoming voyager doesnt seem much more IDW either and thats too bad since I really like hat IDW look. He looks so broad yet lean and mean and imposing too.

TR Megatron looks like he'll work for me as IDW Megsy because of that broad and lean look... not that I have many other options. But yeah, I totally get what you mean. It's a shame we aren't getting an IDW-accurate one.
Though I'm willing to make compromises, hence why TR Chromedome and Generations Whirl are fine for my display. [She says 'display', sighing deeply as an empty feeling fills her heart - Kurona has just looked to her Lost Light 'shelf' to see but only a Combiner Wars First Aid and a yet-to-be-upgraded Generations Nightbeat.]

I like the leader Megs and yes he isn't really IDW, which is a shame. But the TR one does look a little more like him, with the head design at least. He looks closer to what IDW Megs looks like, and you can take the fusion cannon off so it's more accurate. But IDW Megatron is a great looking character and deserves a good toy showing it, like a lot of the cast.
And don't worry Kurona: The display shall grow!

I mean he is the "evil" leader of a very powerful fighting force in a lot of fiction. It's not exactly a "chillax" kind of atmosphere for him to do that with. I do agree though he can be a bit too rigid even in neutral poses. I'm sorry, I still love the figure immensely.
