The Energon Pub

I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I searched and didn't find any topics like this.

I believe this is a pic of Megatron from the new series, TF: Animated.

Once again, sorry if this has been posted.

If it is, then it must be his Earth mode for the second season. The first season will apparently see him in his Cybertronian mode (with some inspiration from his 07 movie design) throughout.

First time I've seen that pic. Where did you find it? If it's official, that's very cool. (Except for one thing, of course. I like that they've given him a sword, 'cos that goes right back to his original Japanese toy. But WHERE'S HIS BIG FREAKING ARM CANNON?)

I like.

Maybe he turns into his own freaking ass cannon?

I like it a lot. I will definetly be buying both Primes and Megs from this series. ;)^

I think he DOES have an arm canon. If you look at his right arm, it seems like it's been cut off. Furthermore that right arm seems to be sticking out in an awkward position...

Yeah, the 1 they showed at BotCon did have the arm cannon.

I like it. The only complaint I have is the sword. They could at least make it a energon blade.

Front paged and credited (also credited Lawson, who emailed the story to us earlier)

And yay, this is my 200th news story posted since joining the news crew! :grin:

Congrats Skowl!

I can't wait for these bad boys. I'm diggin the fireman Prime thing, and that Megs is an incredibly G1 accurate homage.

Very cool looking Megatron, someone from another forum pointed out the strong resembalence to Super Megatron from Transformers: Zone- more than co-incidence I think, the makers of this series seem to have done their research...
Roll on next year!

Samuri Megs aint to bad, Prime is horrible!

To qoute Siebertron himself when all this started, "Hasbro, are you serious!?!"

Most of his pics have shown the cannon. They probably just left it out of here along with the other stuff that should be present like quality.

I can definitely get behind that Megatron. Could use more BFG, but he's definitely megatronnier than any animated (or CGI) Megatron has been in the last 20 years !

OH FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS MOSES AND ALL THAT ARE HOLY.

People finally get a Megatron, after 20 years that looks 90% like their precious G1 Megatron, and you start bitching about his weapon? This is the first time we saw him. He may pull a Cliffjumper, you know?

But anyway, he looks freaing awsome.

I'm sorry I just had to get this out before the Geewuners marched in.

That Megatron looks a lot better than the last one.

I really like the looks of Megatron!!

Still hate Primes look but Megatron doesnt look half bad. He's the only really good one from the cartoon so far. Now all he needs is his arm cannon and we're set.

The thing is about megatron here is they were obviously going for the G1 look. But leaving off the arm cannon is kinda like telling someone they're going to make you a grilled cheese sandwich...getting good melty cheese, the best bread you can find, putting a hint of butter on the outside to make sure it gets a good golden-brown color & a hint of added flavor....& then instead of cooking it in a skillet on a stove they just throw it in the microwave for 30 seconds. :SICK:

Personally, I think he's pretty cool. But taking that extra step would have made him sooo much better.

Well that is megatrons earth mode just to tell you. You can tell becuase the cybertronian mode the to we saw looked different and had a different head and stuff. So thins is his earth mode that turns to a gun. Also i think his arm cannon couldnt fit or he didnt need it or somthing. Becuase he is confirmed to have one in both forms. Also Optimus is also looking kick ass.

Wow, his Earth mode is actually pretty cool. I wonder what he turns into? I might actually get his toy though. Looks like I'll be buying 3 'cons and 1 'bot out of this line.

If series 1 Megatron looks like Movie Megatron then maybe Movie Megatron in Movie 2 will look more like this guy on the paper back????
