New Images of Transformers Movie Megatron Figure in Alt Mode

not diggin the alt mode... probably pass on this one

Well, we were told it wasn't that impressive.

I thought the leader class looked much different than this design. Is this a protoform?

That is actually better than I expected. At least it has a relatively "plane-like" feel to it. I don't like the coloring in the alt mode...works better for robot mode.

No, I don't think so.

But it doesn't appear to be the kick ass Leader Class version either.

Its just a mess.

Doggie poo!

FAB, right?

still cant get over those "hands"

the biggest pile of crap I've seen since my dog got sick

is there any chance of posting a link to the leader class figure as my curiousity is roused as to what the difference is?

That has gotta be the worst alt mode I've ever seen.

i'm expecting to see a piece of crap since all the other bots are pathetic also but man, this one is just horrible and that's saying something. after seeing all the pathetic bot designs i really can't see them doing any worse.

my lunch seen from the toilet looks better

Sheeesh, I must be the only one who likes this. The hands throw it off a little, but I like the spaceship vibe from it and the ice just... clicks with me.

Poo-Doo!

You know, you would "think" that as the leader of the major alien threat in the movie... they might have... oh... I don't know... put a little more time and effort into his alt mode? I mean, the robot mode already looks like @%#@%$$, but if it had a really really good alt mode to explain why it looks like @%#@%$$, complicated transformation, etc., then at least it could be justified.

What we have, however, is a piece of @%#@%$$ that turns into another piece of @%#@%$$. As the major bad guy in the film, you'd think they'd give him as much "cool" factor as... say... generic Decepticon hellicopter dude?

Looks like a G1 Swoop on crack!!!!

yep. its a FAB

Far from the worst transformer out there, but the best of the FABs as far as I'm concerned.

I love the look of the Leader class Megs so I don't think I'll bother picking this one up.

I do not think so. It is the same size as Voyager Ironhide as you can tell in the second photo. FABs are basic size I believe.

It's not Megatron to me, but it is cool none bthe less!

that ironhide looked like the FAB version to me

eww those colors and it just simply reaks of failure.. Not a great figure, not a good one.. just disappointing..

Just to illustrate that this is not a FAB:

FAB Irionhide:


Voyager Ironhide:

he still looks like a fab, even though that ironhide has those guns under him

It sucks! How could they be pleased with something as CRAPPY looking as that!?

I guess they decided to base this on one of those flying sandcrabs from when Dr Zoidburg's race invaded the earth. Or maybe it's a Klingon dagger dipped in hair gel?

He resembles a bird that has been crushed flat underneath the wheels of a large vehicle.

What a pile.

Sorry to say H-rod but I have to disagree. I'm pretty sure that is the FAB Megs. It was said to have fake ice on it, be far larger then the other FABs and would have some weak looking claws. Compare the pic we have oh his bot and jet mode to the prototypes and they are deffinately different figures.

Mind you after writing this, it may not be a FAB but something of the smaller class, like the Voyager.

That looks like crap. That might be the one FAB i dont buy.

I don't hate it.

But I don't much like it either.

I still don't like the desing, but I'm sure this is not the leader class protype we sw a while back. This is voiayger sized. judging by ironhide in the second pic. And it appears its one of those "Event" figures.

Every movie toy line has figures that depict their status in certain portions of the movie while others are just the naturally appearing designs. Take Superman Returns, There is Clark Kent Changer Superman, Kryptonite Smash Superman... Heat Vision Disc throwing superman Superman I'm guessing this is "Frozen in battle Megatron" or something like that.

Then we'll get Battle Damaged Brawl, Or Brightly_Painted_decepticon_logo_on_hood_to_hide_in_plain_sight Barricade. etc....

Look like someone didnt eat breakfast and tried to rush through the design to meet the afternoon deadline. It looks pathetic.

I think it is a voyager myself. The transformation also looks to requir more work the other FAB's. It is not the leader class gigure for sure.

Judging by what looks to be Voyager sized Ironhide in one of the pics, i have to agree that this Megs is Voyager sized not Leader Class.

I am liking the black face though.

They should've got George Lucas to direct the Transformers Movie. I bet he would've made a way better Director than Micheal Bay.

You read my mind. At least his movies are intellegent AND a thrill ride.

Transformers for the win by far. I still like the look of the movie stuff. It's raw and different.

H-rod, I completely agree, it's got to be a Voyager Icey cool Megatron. Freshens your breath then rips your tounge out of your mouth and eats it.

Except for the visual review I did a few days before (based on those pictures), no info was ever circulated about FAB Megatron before I posted those pictures. At first, I just assumed it was FAB Megatron, but studying the pics proved me wrong. Unlike the stubby/deformed/brickish FABs, this one is bigger, taller, more detailed, more articulated, has lightpiping, feet that transform (the other FABs only have molded feet), and so on. We've had garbage alternate modes before with bigger figures (C. Metroplex, C. Menasor, etc).

hey look at this picture it look like megatron

Oh, don't get me wrong man, I wasn't holding it against you or anything like that. But you know how it is, you read something, you take it to heart, yadda yadda yadda. At least you were good enough to give us all a discription in advance.
