ONE STEP FIGURE
Note how the wings are not deployed in jet mode and his feet are not lowered in robot mode. Meaning that, as is often the case, there is more than just one step to o with this one step:
KNIGHT ARMOR TURBO CHANGER FIGURE
(Ages 6 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Spring 2017)
It turns out we saw this figure at toyfair from the very begining but since he didnt have his big mask gimmick on, it was not obvious.
LEGION CLASS FIGURE
(Ages 6 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $6.99/Available: Spring 2017)
DELUXE FIGURE
There is still very little info on this figure. The shared gimmick of decodable glyphs with the cross sell figures, package leaks, unaccounted for in any list of mainline products and not listed in the official deluxe assortment listing from hasbro leads us to believe that it is part of a store exclusive subline.
PREMIER EDITION VOYAGER CLASS FIGURE
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $29.99/Available: Spring 2017)
PREMIER EDITION LEADER CLASS FIGURE
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $49.99/Available: Fall 2017)

Well, make the voyager so much worth getting. Those sneaky basterds.
TBH, I'll get the voyager regardless for my Movie Megs voyager display. It's the perfect display for Movie Megatron because it's the only class where there is constantly a toy in each Movie lines. My display will be a modes Hasbro only display.
-- '07 "Ice" Megatron (Better than the leader IMO)
-- ROTF "Green Burger"
-- DOTM Survivor Megs
-- AoE Megatr...Galvatron
-- TLK "I'll tear your throat out in a single bite" Megs
What I like about the voyagers is that they are all great toys. Despite the often innacurate deco.

The jet mode is friggin' badass; that's not even up for debate. It's the robot mode I'm having trouble with, especially the bits of skirt armour in front. Kinda puts off the silhouette since they don't seem capable of moving.
... and it still to some extent seems a bit like Ultron-but-he-has-devil-horns.

Hmm, makes me wonder if he'd work better as a Megatronus instead of a Liege Maximo

His bison horns are more the Liege, but the arms and overall feel (not to mention name) makes him a better Megatronus. And he's going on my generations shelf instead of the movie shelf, so hmm

Actually I'm gonna get the Legion one as well cos it looks actually really cool for the size. Can put that in my pocket and play with it during my scenes at rehearsals to keep me from getting bored. Had a RotF Optimus Prime fulfill same role. Same role as this tiny Megatron would as a plaything I mean, not MY role in the show.

Yeah. I really like that wrsitband of guns thing he seems to have on his left forearm too. Still miss the old Barry but really warming to the new look.

That's the WORST Optimus I ever saw. Like, man, it look like some buff guy is wearing a form-fitting lycra suit wearing a Optimus mask. There is NOTHING that show it transforminto anything, That's the most "naked" optimus ever.

It's in a bad pose and it's not the actual movie render which is more detailed but the cgi model has plenty of truck parts for example his chest is the truck doors.
Their a bit tougher to find but there is kibble there I've spent time looking at all the movie models both renders and actual blue ray paused scenes and I see a lot of things for example Jolt is actually in ROTF a little more like him in the background shooting with his electric hands no seriously that's a thing.

The concept of him punching a 'Bot so hard that it dents those words into their hides is hilariously genius to me.

It's still in the actual movie this is just package art not a movie cgi model.

I won't respond to every point people have raised, but will point out the following:
First, Nitro shares the same body-type as the KSI Boss from AOE, with a new head and some minor accessory changes:
I also recall hearing somewhere (I don't know where, though) that the figures with the "decodable glyphs" (i.e. - Nitro, Deluxe Megatron, Skullitron, etc.) are to be Toys'R'Us exclusives.
As for Skullitron's name sounding hokey, maybe Hasbro originally wanted it to be "Skeletron" but couldn't get that name, and so went for the next best thing that still evokes the connotation of a skeleton.
And finally:

Permission to be cheeky?
*doesn't wait*
If we look at the Japanese versions of the cartoons, the Car Robots original called him Gigatron and Devil Gigatron, not Galvatron. He gets brownie points for the permanent power-up though
No, the only other series to do that was Energon, or rather the Japanese Superlink. In Micron Legends, counterpart to Armada, both forms were called Megatron, but the new body in Superlink was given the name Galvatron, both standard and powered up. Funnily enough, he shared G1 Galvatron's fate in being reformatted back into a Megatron again in a later series

This is what I see when I look at that fig. I want to eat it.

Looking at Megatron and the position of his legs in jet mode on most figures I wonder if any of them can do a proper GERWALK mode? Probably not because of the arms, but it would be fun.
Then again, Whirl's GERWALK mode doesn't use his arms...
Hey, Hasbro, if you want to repaint another Generations figure for the movie, even as an exclusive, I'd love to own another Whirl in black!
