Is it mistransformed? The head is clearly visible in the alt mode.
Frenzy has made me like the robot mode a touch more, but the alt mode, translucent plastic and claws all really dont make the figure any better at all.

Big skip on the Big M

Well, I gotta say, I really don't like it. Don't get me wrong. There are movie figures I like and will buy, but this one just isn't one of them. Also I thought the movie had worked out alt modes where the heads weren't so blatantly visible. Truly a disappointment if you ask me.

I'll probably just buy the voyager class and be done with it.

That's not Megatron. It's a complete alien stranger. Very much like the others. There's alot of bots that are missing too from the original more than meets the eye 3 parter. :-?

I kinda like it (the bot mode at least). But, yes, a chrome face would be nice. I'm glad the voyager class has the ice effect added to him, to set him apart from the leader class figure, besides their sizes.

its slightly better than the voyager version.

Posted by Quaternion on May 1st, 2007 @ 8:28pm CDT
Yuck. I think they should've just painted the whole thing bright pink and given him big googly, puppy dog eyes. And instead of a fusion cannon, they should've given him a rainbow confetti cannon. Throw in some transforming barbie princess dresses while your at it and I *might* be slightly more likely to buy it.

But seriously, I eagerly await a 'plushy' version of this guy because that will just be f'ing hilarious.

Mediocre, rather than horrible. That's a relief.

I'll have to see if I like the gimmicks and the "fusion cannon" before I pick this one up.

wtf are these toys man? i thought michale bay was trying to make this shit real looking, and starscream's and megatron's alt mode don't look like anything you'd find on earth. they look like exaggerated cgi-beeefed up planes/tanks/autos. these are not disguises... ffs these should look like real autos like the alternators line does.

michael bay not even sticking to his UNpopular view of the movie project, wtf are we to expect come july 4?.........

Whoa, whoa, wait a second now.

Starscream's alt mode is realistic, especially in the movie. It isn't his fault how they translate to plastic. The miracle of movie magic can't always be recaptured by plastic, it just doesn't work like that.

That's something more and more people need to realize. Bay worked on the movie, and got it as realistic as he could within the confines of what was given to him. He might've helped design the toys to a certain point, but beyond all designs, no matter how hard Hasbro or anyone else works...you just can't make something do what it cannot do. You can come close, but you won't achieve perfection.

None of us can.

You might not like to see that as a fact, but it's true, and they did the best damned job they could do.

:BOT: Ouch.

After the cool Leader class Prime, this does not look too good. Mostly it's because of the pink. But a quick custom paint job and it could be cool! :CON:

They are paying homage to the wrong figure. Megatron is now a silver, blue, and red (debateable because it could be pink) jet of sorts, while Starscream looks like a jet landed ontop of a plane in the same vein as the old Blitzwing toy in alt mode and a mutant mothman in bot mode.

Posted by microclone on May 2nd, 2007 @ 9:22am CDT
this is the first movie toy ive seen where the robomode is better than the alternate mode. Megatron or not, thats a really average piece of poop. Will kids love it and be all nostalgic over it in 20 years time? I bet not. The real gear toys are going to be way more loved.

Posted by Dr. Caelus on May 2nd, 2007 @ 9:50am CDT
The light colors kill it even more. If they'd forgone the blue, used a deeper red, and made him predominately dark-gray he couldd still have been menacing.

As is he looks like something that should be in Happy Locust's signature. :P

I commend the designers for producing something of that quality, bearing in mind what they had to work with. But OMG!!! That is one of the worst tf's I have ever seen!

The Deluxe version looks better (and I say that about Prime as well).

Posted by Ultra Prime on May 2nd, 2007 @ 11:47am CDT
What the hell is that!? They think that is Megatron? I can accept a completely different interpretation of Megs but this is just :SICK:

I will have absolutely no problem passing that figure up. I guess my movie cons will be without a leader.
Re: New Pictures of Movie Leader Class Megatron (107053)
Posted by Hanch Prime on May 2nd, 2007 @ 11:49am CDT
Fugly! is what that is. I wouldn't get this figure if some one gave it to me. I would probably burn it. Then go cuddle up with my MP5 Megs, suck my thumb and tell myself its all going to be OK.

I wonder why they didn't stick with the blue/silver combo that we've been seeing, I think he'd look alot better in those colors.

Otherwise, he is intresting, not a Megatron, but he is intresting.

How can Optimus look like the embodiment of awesome and yet Megatron look like the embodiment of suck?

Guess I won't be getting Megs, it's a real shame...

Oh man, that's just terrible. I honestly can't think of one thing I like about it. And, they called that Megatron??? No matter what you call it, it is an insult to our TF's. Even worse when you call it Megatron.

My question: what is the alt. mod supposed to be? I mean really, it looks like nothing at all. Did the alt. change from the proto pic in the movie, cause I havnen't seen the "updated Megatron" CGI.

His alt mode is supposed to be a cybertron jet. I think they changed the head on this one cuz I have an old prototype pic of him N prime without color and it looked better. Also I dont like the pink but regardless Im still gonna buy him since I buy all Leader Class Primes and Megatrons.

Damn, that does look like crap. I don't care for the character design overall but if a figure has a great sculpt and paint scheme I have no problem admitting so. That's absolutely not true with this one. I mean it looks nothing like the production art or the tie-in art we've seen! They've obviously changed the head from the older prototype we saw (the old one had the alien-queen tube head), but this one looks even worse in alt mode (the cover doesn't even hide his face anymore) and the the paintjob isn't going to do anything to bring out the details of his face in robot mode. And WTF happened to the silver coloration? Now it's going to be moulded in generic grey with touches of metallic blue and blotches of black w/ gold trim? And I'd really really hoped all the kibble under his wings was a mistransformation in the prototype pics. Apparently not....

It's obviously some kind of futuristic gynecological exam table. It doesn't come close to resembling anything else.
