User Chenkofs of ACToys has posted images of a peculiar new figure. A silver, metallic version of the Voyager-Class Megatron figure from the Transformers Movie toyline. It is unknown at this time whether or not this is an official figure, or a custom-made fan repaint.

A little better than the bright gray the other versions have been sporting lately. Though he still looks like he's sporting feathers.

WOW! I really like that! I hope it's real. If it isn;t someone did a FANTASTIC repaint...

Official would be nice, except for the blackface...

That's gotta be a custom, no way Hasbro would spring for that much detail.

I've read the posts. Sounds like an official repaint release. Though the posters are saying the same things we are probably thinking:

1. Why does he still have the ice crap and
2. Why couldn't they do the leader repaint instead?

By the way look at Dada1812's Avatar. Love this Transformer! :grin:

If they could do an official metallic repaint like this on the Leader-Class Megatron, I'd sell mine and buy that in a heartbeat.

Even the black face on this one isn't as bad as the one on the normal Leader Megatron we have now, at least on this one (custom or not) you can see the most of the molded features on the face and they put the paint on all the right places at least.

i think it looks awful, i think the megatron voyager class mold is garbage. the ice look wasnt necassary, wasnt even achieved, the hands look silly, i dont know, just not a fan, gut reaction

by **Starscream227** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 9:59 am

Forgive me if it's been mentioned, but there wasn't mention of a Galvs repaint, was there? Granted, one could buy it and simply call it Megatron, But doing such a dull one and trying to pass it off as someone else is so...Hasbro.

i hope it is'ent a fake becouse thats the best megatron i've seen yet

yeah i have to agree looks cool except for the ice... which is why im staying away from the voyager megatron in the first place

by **bucknasty0423** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 10:11 am

...WOW. i just started repainting my leader class megatron yesterday. but im not to excited about this one. still looks to cartoonish. i want my megatron to look like a death machine!!

LEADERCLASSBLACKOUT!!

Let Me Guess. Robovision megatron? If its real I still wont buy it due to the ice crap and Lame robot mode.

by **Lord Starscream20** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 10:21 am

I already liked voyager Megs better (and the ice doesn't bother me at all), but this looks great to me. I guess I'll hold off on buying Megatron to see if this is real or not.

This figure blows no matter how you paint it. The ice totally ruins it. I assume it would look like crap if you could take off the ice. I don't know why Hasbro just didn't make the ice something you could take on and off-frozen Megs, thawed Megs. And the crappy, unarticulated fingers are the "ice"ing on the cake.

New packaging, same old product: looser.

by **Night~GONE** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 10:39 am

Movie megatron figures suck. No one can make a good one I do like how he looks in the movie but toys are BAD! The cartoon one looks really good though.

Almost enough to convince me that I want it, but not quite.

News Credits: 3 · by **wavelength** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 11:15 am

seems more like a re-entry megatron, so the ice shoulsd fade into red to represent flames.

News Credits: 665 · by **Skowl** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 11:41 am

Yeah, the toy is still awful. The Voyager version is the worst. The new paint scheme is good though, hope it makes it's way on the Leader class toy one day.

by **megatroptimus** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 11:44 am

Ouch, that looks like crap. The ice bits now look even more out of place.

News Credits: 5 · by **skywarp-2** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 11:49 am

WELL... Lets hope it is official, it looks much better, only the face is still charcoal colored and needs to be lightened up!!!

They are articulated.

Looks head over heels better than what we have now. Not that it is that great to begin with. This smells of a fan custom job though. Looks too nice paint apps wise for something to come out of HASBRO given their production quality control of late.
