I am soooo sure that said Optimus!

Ah well. Doesn't look too bad IMO. If they had just gone with a different colour scheme...

Like Starscream, he really fills out the box. That's always nice to see. Sort of the opposite of what shall come to be known as "Classics Prime Syndrome". Looks a bit like there's a pair of scissors sticking out the front from this angle, though.

I still say his face looks like Count Chocula.

God its still looks like crap

I do like the other figures though...mostly the Autobots but this is a disaster

If I get him I may just paint him black and giv4 him a new identity

But I'll wait until it goes on clearance

Is that a bird with ice. Wow and I thought the gun megatron was bad.

the face definitley seems different....not quite the resounding overhaul we were hoping for but a lot less "predatorish"

I actually like that face. It looks less like a monster and more like a knight.

even though its been redesigned...it still looks like an icey lump of crap. I never liked the movie design for megatron...

that face is a crapload better then what we were going to get. just the center face bit has a more humanoid look to it. it still doenst seem fit to be megatron to me.

still, i think its a pretty good toy.

a lot of us grew up with the gun megatron, and paint apps aside, the new one is one badass megs.

I looked at the gallery of this figure, and while it really is quite different from what we're used to, it has a certain charm.

I do think the alt. mode is very weird, but in a good kind of way. Like the re-designed face too.

Seeing some of these pics is getting me excited. Only 84 more days....

This face look WAAAAY better then all the other. At least it look human enough. I mean, he got a NOSE this time.

I'm not sure why but the wings in the in-package shot look more like 'ice covered wings' than the 'icicle wings' of he test-shot images. Are they moulded in plain translucent plastic instead of blue? Or maybe it's just the background insert?

Im going to use this a Megatrons brother. Maybe half brother.

I'm actually looking forward to the entire movie line - I'm not thrilled with some of the Decepticon designs, but I know I'll get them anyway. And thanks to the prequel comics, the Megatron design has really grown on me.
