Takara Tomy Mall Super Megatron Pre-Orders Reveal Ultra Modes and More

I'm hoping the gun part transformation/parts forming isn't too hindered in the jet and tank mode because I'd love to tweak a Super and Ultra version of both, especially since his powered up form use a tank which make less sense as an upgrade. Hopefully there is some way to make a tank with the big railgun/laser gun.

Honestly the only thing which would make him even better if if he had some sort of leg transformation to even further differentiate the forms. Even if it was just some panel flipping or an alternate pair of feet with a red tip. Still, as he is this is some insane and whacked mix of ideas and I love it! Now I want an oversized KO even more do display his Super and Ultra forms. As for the final form, my head keeps calling it Hyper Megatron.

If I got a single TF for the rest of 2020 and it was this guy I'd be more than happy.

Also, TF Source has preorder already.

Considering TR Galvatron already had space to fold a head inside the torso and this guy has a transforming head, I think its safe to say he isn't.

Its also (maybe) a loose reference to the unproduced Season 4 Animated Megatron aka 'Maraudeur Megatron' who was even more Super Megatron inspired and also had a face mask based off Beast Machines Megatron. This design take cues from it but swap the BM reference with bits from TLK.

I definitely think the fact it looks like the TLK mask is intentional, as much as it might also be a Dark Nova reference. It's probably a double (triple, including Animated Marauder Megatron? Or possibly even quadruple, given Marauder Megatron's facemask itself was referencing Beast Wars Megatron?) homage.

Sure is, they even open when he shoots that beam. I'm not seeing Marauder Megatron at all in this figure, always thought that figure was a step further away from Super Megatron, not closer.

I'm having trouble figuring out Ultra Megatron's chest. It doesn't seem to be as simple as popping it open and spinning it around. There's a hinge at the top not found on the Super side and the intentionally shot the figure from below so you can't see what's going on up there. I'm thinking it might be the part his head is connected to and just out of view on the super side and has a twist in it similar to RID 2001 Ultra Magnus so the head returns upright.

What we can now see that the "spin" is about half way up his abs, the bottom half stays Black while above it is gray in super and black in ultra.

Yeah, but it will cost many between 2-3 times that Galvatron original,

2.25 times as much.

I'm not seeing less reason to want this, despite the pricing.

I still want to see a picture of Super/Ultra Megatron next to Star Convoy, just to get a sense of how out of scale they are with each other. Or, maybe Star Convoy is supposed to be bigger than either Super or Ultra Megatron?

True! I guess you can toss that on top of the reasons I won't get this. Although, saying that, I like what they've done here.
