It really is too deep, especially on his face. I like the tan shade better than Thrilling 30. It's weird seeing him next to T30, they have dramatically different aesthetics. TR is certainly more "g1" in terms of styling than other iterations of Generations. I happen to have one with the Dr. Wu head and gun upgrades and shoulder tabs (got a good deal on one from a cybertron.ca member), which helps...
It's weird. I actually think I like this mold better as Megatron. It really works for him, and I like it better with the grays and blacks. That said? I LOVE the Blitzwing jet mode. It's just absolutely bang-on and might be enough for me to pick-up on sale. Plus, he is one of my favorite TFs of all time.
Thing that's bugging me, though, is that I'll get OctOne to act as "Tall Tankor" on my IDW shelf (along with "Fat Tankor"), and I'll have two Blitzwings, but I have no desire for Astrotrain. I already bought and sold one. But it will feel weird to have all three Autobot triple-changers in voyager and NOT have all three Decepticons, even though for my personal displays I don't even have a **** place for Astrotrain!*
*my IDW shelf isn't "EVERYBODY WHO EVER APPEARED IN IDW." It's more "Lost Light" and then some specific set-ups and pairings, like Windblade with Chromia, Ironhide, Wheeljack, or Arcee and Sideswipe. Astrotrain was Galvatron's bus.
**Also can we get a voyager chug Starscream YESTERDAY already?
