A new auction has surfaced featuring a prototype of the Megatron figure from the upcoming Transformers: Animated series.
The images of the prototype are 'hidden' in an auction for a prototype of the Fast Action Battler Optimus Prime figure from the Transformers Movie.
See the auction (you'll need to scroll down to see the images)

Think these animated figures will be made of better plastics than the movie line though?

If it gets worse, I'm going into G1 pursuits only.

Not that I thought I was gonna be, but I'm not impressed.
If this is Voyager or Leader class, it'll be the first Megatron I passed on in years.
However, as deluxe, he's drone worthy, even though that jet is pretty falic.

Megatron just can't get a decent alt mode can he. The Decepticons have enough jets, why can't we get some kind of cannon mode for him since a gun is out of the question?

Alternate mode reminds me of that blue hovercraft (part of Ultimate Transmax Megazord) in the recent "Operation overdrive" Power Rangers show...

Are those turbines/fans on the wings? Well if so, then Hasbro should forget the inevitable "Galvatron" repaint and make an Autobot out of him,homaging Skyhammer:

I like most of what I've seen reguarding the cartoon so far. Not this, though. Eh. It doesn't say 'Megatron' to me.
I imagine this is a deluxe.
I scrolled back up to look again. It's already growing on me. I'm so easy.

I think that this will be a pick and choose line for a lot of people. I'll reserve judgement on Megs here until I see the final product.

Reminds me of Thunderwing a little. Well, maybe more than a little.

Epic case of DO NOT WANT. I was hoping that the movie wouldn't influence the designs of future lines...

lol.
He dosnt look brilliant, and I hope he isnt actully blue, it dont suit him.
Ive liked the larger Prime we've seen, its a shame there hasnt been a line since Armada (and I suspect that was a fluke) that has had a decent Prime AND Megatron toy.

I hate to say it but the Movie Megatron is better than that. I hope Earth Megatron is way better. Other wise im screwed for Megatrons in the next toy line. Maybe this one will look better when its painted. I dont know the shape looks to kiddie for me.

Your kidding me right? Armada Prime sucked man. Megatron was good but Prime was crap. Cybertron Prime was better than armada. And have you forgotten the Classics line?
