A little better than the bright gray the other versions have been sporting lately. Though he still looks like he's sporting feathers.

That's gotta be a custom, no way Hasbro would spring for that much detail.

I've read the posts. Sounds like an official repaint release. Though the posters are saying the same things we are probably thinking:
1. Why does he still have the ice crap and
2. Why couldn't they do the leader repaint instead?
By the way look at Dada1812's Avatar. Love this Transformer!

If they could do an official metallic repaint like this on the Leader-Class Megatron, I'd sell mine and buy that in a heartbeat.
Even the black face on this one isn't as bad as the one on the normal Leader Megatron we have now, at least on this one (custom or not) you can see the most of the molded features on the face and they put the paint on all the right places at least.

i think it looks awful, i think the megatron voyager class mold is garbage. the ice look wasnt necassary, wasnt even achieved, the hands look silly, i dont know, just not a fan, gut reaction

Forgive me if it's been mentioned, but there wasn't mention of a Galvs repaint, was there? Granted, one could buy it and simply call it Megatron, But doing such a dull one and trying to pass it off as someone else is so...Hasbro.

I already liked voyager Megs better (and the ice doesn't bother me at all), but this looks great to me. I guess I'll hold off on buying Megatron to see if this is real or not.

This figure blows no matter how you paint it. The ice totally ruins it. I assume it would look like crap if you could take off the ice. I don't know why Hasbro just didn't make the ice something you could take on and off-frozen Megs, thawed Megs. And the crappy, unarticulated fingers are the "ice"ing on the cake.

Movie megatron figures suck. No one can make a good one I do like how he looks in the movie but toys are BAD! The cartoon one looks really good though.

seems more like a re-entry megatron, so the ice shoulsd fade into red to represent flames.

Yeah, the toy is still awful. The Voyager version is the worst. The new paint scheme is good though, hope it makes it's way on the Leader class toy one day.

Looks head over heels better than what we have now. Not that it is that great to begin with. This smells of a fan custom job though. Looks too nice paint apps wise for something to come out of HASBRO given their production quality control of late.

True, I guess they do open but I'd like to see them have a joint in them to really grasp like claws-that's what I meant to say.

That is awsome. Id buy it if it comes out. It looks like it was done by hand. I think its just a custom job. But people said that about G1 MP Starscream and look what happened. They should do a voyager and leader class like that. If they would id buy both. That would be the only way id get leader Megatron.

O.O
PRETTY!!!!!
If that is released I think I could overlook the 40oddquid price tag. Although it'll be ages before it's released in the UK, if it ever is released that is.
However it could easily be a fan made repaint. Right?

Haha, I didn't even read the post properly. Its a voyager!!! There's no need to over look the £40 price tag as there isn't one there. £20 sounds good for a nice metallic Megatron. (well, to me anyway) Wonderful ^^

This is the info TFormers had:
The customizers are going to cry foul when they see the image that FCtoys has posted of what is said to be a movie accurate repaint of the movie Megatron. This version will present the figure with a hightly detailed paint job that highlights the metal and grime properties inherent to the movie likeness.
