I think Sunbow and RiD 2015 were the only times Galvatron stayed permanently. Pretty much every other time Galvatron reverted to Megatron (and back again... and back again... and back AGAIN) or Galvatron has co-existed in the fiction alongside Megatron in some fashion; whether as separate beings or through time travel/alternate timeline shenanigans.

... y'know, I think my favourite thing about this franchise is that it's not confusing to follow at all.

My prediction of TF5:
Galvatron is REALLY just a Megatron clone with false memories. The real Megs wake up and rebuild himself. One of his goals will be to destroy the pretender.

May just skip the Voyager Prime to get the simpler and smaller versions. Already getting the leader, voyager, and deluxe, might as well add the simple guys and the legion!

I decided to put all the images in one post:

One Step:



Note how the wings are not deployed, they have to be rotated up onto the jet.



Armour Changer







Legion





Deluxe



Voyager





Leader





Think i sould make it anews post rounding up how they all look like. I realize i am the only one so far to have figured out that one of the toys in the toy fair ics is the armour changer without the goofy mask, so we know exactly what he looks like underneath.

[-Kanrabat-]

I think I will get both the Leader and Voyagers of that Megs. The leader for that "MP" feel and the voyager for my Movie Megs display. And even thought I have the ROTF voyager, the green just don't do it. So I may get the Takara special edition.

Excellent! He is the star of the toyline so far

One Step:

Robot mode also does not have the feet transformed properly. Still may get him cause ya know, I love knights and the bot mode is cool and I do enjoy a few one-steps

Armour Changer

Will try to wait on a price drop on him maybe, but still looks cool enough for me to get!

Legion

My pocket change figure for the line. after looking at the legions, may get a few of them: Drift, Crosshairs, Hound, Megatron, Dragonstorm. they're pocket change figures essentially, and the RiD line has shown me how fun they are!

Deluxe

never got that mold, so I will take this one enthusiastically

Voyager

This one is meant to go to my generations shelf as a Leige Maximo character

Leader

my definitive figure, and my first actual leader class movie Decepticon, and he is sorely needed on the shelf. besides, maybe I'll have some money to splurge on Megatrons since TR wave 4 will come and wave 5 may be a while, plus RiD really doesn't have any new figures till the fall, and I just bought the last 2 before the break on HTS a few days ago, so I should have some money.

oh wait, Artfire and MP movie Bee, but oh well, both look amazing.

wouldn't be too bad a decision. I like it and Megatron is pretty much the star at the moment of the line and movie

Thats what I did, I will be getting that silver one when I ship out my lot from japan next month.

About leader megs though, there is something I have spotted that I didnt see elsewhere, his feet are quite visible in jet mode, his entire legs actually. But I guess I dont mind too much since i do value integration o fparts in each mode, which the last movie didnt do.

MB-03 Megatron is sold out everywhere.
It's on Ebay but it's over 100$.

OH HELL NOPE!

Guess I'll dig out my green burger from storage.

Makes sense, he was the hottest toy since he was in the deco he was supposed to come out in originally before that release was cancelled. Its not everyday we get to own a toy that was once cancelled.

*snorts cause he never got his highly desired deluxe Leadfoot*

*snorts cause he never got his highly desired deluxe Leadfoot*

From all accounts I heard its actually not a very good toy. It only has the appeal of being rare and completing a trio, but i never heard anoene say anything good about it. Of course, thats what I tell myself

the deluxe and the leader are clear winners even though the deluxe is a reused mold it works well for this version of megatron

[Overcracker]

Yes, Deluxe and Leader definitely.

Voyager Megs looks cool in robot mode, but the jet mode is a little iffy.

Leader Megs also hopefully gets that cool copper on his sword-axe. And His flame thrower-fusion cannon is just cool.

[-Kanrabat-]

Yes, Deluxe and Leader definitely.

Voyager Megs looks cool in robot mode, but the jet mode is a little BEEFY.

Fixed that for you.

That's also why I'll get both. They are different and great enough for me to get both the voyager and leader. As for the deluxe, I already own the original Generations one and I don't like that mold. So it will be a pass.

[LE0KING]

Yes, Deluxe and Leader definitely.

I'm torn, I have limited space so I try to keep my collection down to voyagers and deluxes, with the exception of bots meant to be big, such as magnus or overlord. And I don't really see a Megatron looking sixshot in the eye.
But that leader blows the Voyager out of the water.

Are we still missing a lot of Hasbro official pictures - like for the Legion Class ?

I don't think I've got a good look at very many of them yet.

Yes, we have none of those and I dont know if we ever will.

[william-james88]

Megatron truly appears to be the star of the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline with a toy in nearly every class, and the vast majority of them being new molds with his new cybertronian jet mode. This is a stark contrast compared to the rest of the line where most other characters are keeping their previous forms making them have several recycled molds representing them. So, we thought of breaking down the different options you will have for Megatron in The Last Knight toyline along with a description and price point for each when available.


ONE STEP FIGURE



Note how the wings are not deployed in jet mode and his feet are not lowered in robot mode. Meaning that, as is often the case, there is more than just one step to o with this one step:



KNIGHT ARMOR TURBO CHANGER FIGURE
(Ages 6 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Spring 2017)



It turns out we saw this figure at toyfair from the very begining but since he didnt have his big mask gimmick on, it was not obvious.





LEGION CLASS FIGURE
(Ages 6 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $6.99/Available: Spring 2017)





DELUXE FIGURE

There is still very little info on this figure. The shared gimmick of decodable glyphs with the cross sell figures, package leaks, unaccounted for in any list of mainline products and not listed in the official deluxe assortment listing from hasbro leads us to believe that it is part of a store exclusive subline.



PREMIER EDITION VOYAGER CLASS FIGURE
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $29.99/Available: Spring 2017)





PREMIER EDITION LEADER CLASS FIGURE
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $49.99/Available: Fall 2017)

[-Kanrabat-]

The leader is for fall only?
Well, make the voyager so much worth getting. Those sneaky basterds.

TBH, I'll get the voyager regardless for my Movie Megs voyager display. It's the perfect display for Movie Megatron because it's the only class where there is constantly a toy in each Movie lines. My display will be a modes Hasbro only display.

-- '07 "Ice" Megatron (Better than the leader IMO)
-- ROTF "Green Burger"
-- DOTM Survivor Megs
-- AoE Megatr...Galvatron
-- TLK "I'll tear your throat out in a single bite" Megs

What I like about the voyagers is that they are all great toys. Despite the often innacurate deco.

[Kurona]

Hmmm. The more I look at the design the more I'm not so sure on it.
The jet mode is friggin' badass; that's not even up for debate. It's the robot mode I'm having trouble with, especially the bits of skirt armour in front. Kinda puts off the silhouette since they don't seem capable of moving.
... and it still to some extent seems a bit like Ultron-but-he-has-devil-horns.

[No One]

MEGATRON is the Switchblade jet from 'I Spy'

I finally figured out who this reminds me of.

His bison horns are more the Liege, but the arms and overall feel (not to mention name) makes him a better Megatronus. And he's going on my generations shelf instead of the movie shelf, so hmm

[Carnivius_Prime]

I'm buying Voyager cos size/cost and he looks pretty bloody awesome anyways.


Actually I'm gonna get the Legion one as well cos it looks actually really cool for the size. Can put that in my pocket and play with it during my scenes at rehearsals to keep me from getting bored. Had a RotF Optimus Prime fulfill same role. Same role as this tiny Megatron would as a plaything I mean, not MY role in the show.

[Evil Eye]

Looking again at Leader Megatron, he's better than I thought. The hollow forearms are still kinda irksome but they aren't as bad as I'd thought. I'm not sure if I'll get that version or the Voyager, or if he'll represent The Fallen/Megatronus Prime or Liege Maximo.
