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

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

I also removed the story since they pulled it from the site.
That is what happened. Well I reposted it and add the pics to the story.

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

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

How does Starscream not look like an F-22 in the movie?

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.

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!

G1 homage. They know we eat them up. Hasbro is giving something back to the fans.

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.

Whoever approved this design should be taken before a firing squad.

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

The Deluxe version looks better (and I say that about Prime as well).
Posted by Ultra Prime on May 2nd, 2007 @ 11:47am CDT
I will have absolutely no problem passing that figure up. I guess my movie cons will be without a leader.

That's the first crappy Megatron I think I've ever seen!

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

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

They're on page 2, but let's see if this works...
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.Duke of Luns wrote:D Banks wrote:I cant see Is he really that bad??

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