This figure looks great as either character and I plan on getting them both. Despite us having many different versions of Megatron that can be used on a "classics" shelf, I feel that unlike Bumblebee, Megatron is always done in a different enough deco or altmode to warrant each of them. I actually have quite a few different versions of Megatron on the same shelf and if I had the money, I'd have a few more.
We got lucky with classics BB as we can use one as Hubcap, one as Bumper, one as yellow Cliffjumper and one as Goldbug, especially with the third party heads for that figure. However, I just get mad at the fact that Hastak can throw a dart at a color wheel and land on almost any color and it could be used as a different character like (Glyph, Tapout, Bugbite, Wasp and so on) but they always seem to land on yellow when they do that. I get that they think that BB is a top seller for kids despite every store being overstocked with him, so they keep repainting him. But can't they give us a white BB with no yellow, call him Bumblebee but have him be an obvious homage to Bugbite for collectors? You know, kill two birds with one needless recolor? They get the Bumblebee name on a new toy and we get a figure that can easily be used as a different character. The grey PRID BB and the upcoming black Beast Hunters BB both have too much yellow to not be BB and lets not forget the upcoming Rise of the Predacons BB who's just Beast Hunters BB with blue arms and legs. Optimus Prime falls into this same category but he has less repaint options than BB does.
This is about a Megatron mold though and I say bring on all the Megs you got Hasbro. So long as they have different alt modes, paint jobs and in some cases, heads. Also, keep bringing on retools like Dreadwing here out of Megatron molds.
I don't know if what I just typed is going to make any sense to anyone else but it does to me as I'm typing it so oh well.
