Indeed. Still he will look odd next to the other Season One Predacons, who all should have very little kibble (other than Waspinator).

That’s a pretty bold speculation, considering the amount of proportion-change happening with Tarantulas, Scorponok, Blackarachnia, Terrorsaur...

Well not really. The aim of Takara for this line is show accuracy. The examples you gave only really sport arachnid legs as kibble. Terrorsaur, on the other hand, has none on display. Which will be really interesting to see. Megatron and Waspinator (you could technically argue Inferno) are the only ones with kibble backpacks in Season One.

Or it could be the subtly hinted at MP Blaster. We got some new cassettes after all, he can't be too far behind. It would also make a change instead of the usual Car Bots cluttering up the line.
AllNewSuperRobot wrote:To be fair, the original toys made a good job of that. Whereas many of the Maximals were shellformers, many of the Predacons were designed better. The Spider Thorax? They were the legs and actual back of the figure. Scorponok's arachnid legs tucked into his sides, just as in the show. The original toys of the Predacons matched up to the show designs really well in hindsight. Streamlined MP releases should be easy.
Terrorsaur being the one "Impossible" exception.
As I said, he will be the one I am interested to see how it's accomplished.

I too am curious to see how they would pull it off, don’t get me wrong. Back kibble just never bothers me.

It's not really that it bothers me, I just wasn't expecting so much.
I didn't think there was that much "Shell" to this form of Megatron.
