Not to bad. Dont like the face that much but its an ok figure. Better then the movie ones. I want to know what the earth version looks like. And is there a set release date yet? Or is there still just an estimated date?

I initaly wanted this figure, but I have to say it's wearing off.

This Megatron has ALOT of potential. It just seems though, the more I see it, the less Hasbro is looking to exploit it?

It's a problem that seems to be running rampant throughout this line, so I save my money for vintage and Classics.

Between these and the new Classics, it's a great time to be a TF collector!!!!

I can't wait to get him. Probably will never see alt mode, but if I can (or somebody else can) figure out a passable gun mode, he might see alt mode a bit.

Y'know I think this looks better than most of the next batch of Classics stuff. Such a great colour scheme.

... Now if only he had a decent alt mode.

i agree liege

maybe its the rounded edges, the clear parts or the colours but the animated toys make me instinctively want to pick em up and chew on them!!

ive never had that feeling before, except for those ben 10 toys.

Definitely a decent looking figure, I will definitely consider picking this one up. But the one I really can't wait for is Animated Soundwave

The Few,
The Proud,
The Guys Who Want Superior As Apose To SubPar Bots!

his jet mode still looks strange to me but robot mode looks better than the jet version hes in

Wow, I'm really liking some of the toys but not liking the new show. Nice Megatron. At least he resembles a Megatronish looking being.

Outside of Masterpiece Megs, I think this is the best looking Megatron in a long, long time, probably all the way back to G1.

not to shabby... but i most interested in is how tall the toy will be. In the TF animated, megatron is really a big badass decepticon boss (all the decepticons are really bigger than the autobots). If the toy can hold it true to the form factor of the TF animated's character, i guess it worth the shot.

but, i put my money on bumblebee TF animated toy... imho, bumblebee characterization and it's related toy design along the line-up of TF till now, most of them looks great.

i bet you can sort of configre him into gun like mode, base it on the G1 toy and have him hold the blaster in the middle of the chest and hey presto!

i have a sneaky feeling that earth megs is going to be a very popular megs toy with many, he supposed to be a leader figure so could be pretty huge.

It's 17.5cm tall. Bigger than Bulkhead and deluxe Prime, Prowl Bumblebee.

Bumblebee looks to be one of the best designs on the line, though judging by some pics, the plastic and paint quality may not be up to scratch on that figure.

I actually like the alt mode, but I kinda agree with ya...
I'm diggin' the Classics, but I'm as excited for the Animated figures.

Well he'll probably have a better alt mode, so if the bot mode is up to par, everything's in place for a truly awesome Megatron figure.

For once.

With the recent batch of prototype pics, a lot of people've been taking potshots at animated. Grey proto's usually look better than the production toys anyway, so it remains to be seen, IMO.

But yeah, definately as excited for both here too.

He reminds me of the Robotech Hovertank, especially the color scheme and the way the arms fold up in transformation.

The face looks bland.... but in the pic Megatron looks mighty, mighty fine. I want.

When I can afford to buy little toys. :/

This figure is awsome! I really love the clear read and the overall look of it.

I've gotten alot of TFs, though and between this and the recolored Classics Megs, I dunno if I can afford both. Or if I'll even get either ... not that I don't love this fig, but I already have MP Megs, so do I need more Megatrons than that? I dost not know.

I still think that face makes him look a little like Brainiac from Superman: TAS.

And I think I'm still going to wait for his earth mode before I buy this one.

Just like with most versions of Megatron, I love the robot mode but don't care for the alt mode. I'll probably end up getting him, though, because I plan on getting just about all of the Animated figures (until they start spamming us with repaints, that is).
