Did you like BotCon Gigatron?
I don't have Movie Bludgeon at all, so he'll be welcomed in my collection big time.

*snaps fingers* I got it! It's the smile. I just can see a Megatron having that kind of smirky grin on his face. It's so Starscreamish.
Which means that, if it weren't for the symbols (and a bit less purple with more gray), this figure would make a decent update to Megastorm instead.

Throw ROTF Bludgeon, Classics/Timelines Gigatron, and HFTD Banzaitron to that list.

That head is pretty fun looking but it does not fit AT ALL with that body. Also, why fluo green?
I may buy this ONLY if it come to Québec and ONLY if it's on sale.
I already have Bludgeon and Banzaitron afterall.

I'm sure there's a better G2 Megatron coming from a 3P toy maker somewhere in the future.

I would have remolded the chest, the hands, feet, arms, legs, and waist.
Just sayan.

Megs...a ninja? um...no.
Megs as a tank....HELL YA.
Megs with ninja swords....um no....but definitely with a large mace and a massive sword.
Megs with a MASSIVE Fusion Cannon.....OH HELLL YA!
This rendition is an epic fail.

Technically, he's supposed to be a samurai warrior. Animated Prowl prior to side-car upgrade would be the ninja.
This figure is supposed to have the G1-esque head sculpt because that's how the original G2 toy had it. And really, there aren't many Voyager tanks in recent years that could pass as a CHUG figure (ala ROTF Bludgeon). At least, none that come up out the top my head as of the writing of this post. What I would like to see is either a Deluxe or a Voyager version of the FOC Megatron design.

Eh, if you squint really, really, REALLY hard, it doesn't look too bad.
But I guess even then it still doesn't look good.

If I squint anymore, my eyes will be closed. And then it becomes nightmare fuel. And then my brain needs bleach. And I can't afford it. (The bleach, that is. Can't afford the bleach.)

First off Megs needs a a new head, dont like this head and gives a off misinterpretation of the figure and Megatron's character altogether. And the head is a blend of G1/Cartooniness and Hasbro needs to pick one or the other, not combine them.
Second: Needs either new swords like what Head-Robots did with Bludgeon or a new weapons all together. Hello 3rd parties, Work your magic on this one.
Third: Really dont care for the feet on Megatron, I mean its fine for Bludgeon, but Megatron and these feet really dont go together very well.

That mental image is contagious.
But I was thinking more along the lines of a 17-19th century magistrate from Great Britain with the powdered wigs.
