Sigh.
Just when you think Hasbro can't act any more bewildered and clueless about what Megatron's alt mode should be, they crank it down yet another notch.

I definitely couldn't disagree more. I love new takes on characters. My all-time favorite Megatron appearance is his Armada look, which is wildly different from his evergreen design.
Honestly, my only complaint is that I wish Optimus and Bumblebee were a bit more unique.

Yeah, I agree. Let's get some originality and creativity in the franchise again. We need an Armada level departure from the norms as G1 has been driven into the ground.

Not if the 'new' stuff is trash (coughcoughcoughEarthsparkCyberverseRIDcoughcoughcough). They can do a lot better in terms of 'originality' than making Megatron a bull. Even that can be considered "G1" since Predacon Tantrum is a bull. Therefore it can be said this "Megabull" thing isn't original at all, they're just rehashing G1 Tantrum and shuffling the names around.
Transformers ONE's Quintesson was original, but it's the biggest shelf-warmer in that line. It does no good to make something original if it doesn't sell. Hasbro has been having a rough time lately (hark how many articles we get with verbiage like 'Hasbro is in trouble', and 'sales are down from ____ quarter', and 'failed to meet expectations'. Doing something wholly original means taking a huge risk. And they've taken enough hits lately that risk-taking isn't something they're going to do without assurance of good ROI.

Two out of three of those use very G1-inspired designs in their own art style.
Also, nobody has seen this yet. So we don't know one way or the other whether it will be trash or good, and therefore that has no bearing on the design yet. Beast Wars and Animated were both initially trashed for using new/different designs, but ended up quickly becoming fan favorites.

Though anyone saying Earthspark sucks is crazy. Say what you will regarding quality post-season 1, but there will always be something special there in regards to original characterization.

I'm not going to post the whole thing here (you can check out that thread if you want to see it), but I want to draw attention to a very relevant detail here:
Travel to the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany during the last week of January and produce an exciting, high-energy reveal video – potentially with an animation component – to help build anticipation for Hasbro’s new Transformers: CYBERWORLD toy line and its accompanying YouTube Series.
It seems that Cyberworld will be a YouTube series, not a full animated series. This has effectively killed most of my optimism for the series.
