The Ebay seller has got LOADS of Beast hunters, Prime, Classics and more prototypes for sale or offer in his Ebay shop.
Pretty interesting stuff, always nice to see where a figure started its life, sort of.
Spotted this RTS Jazz proto - very nice, and comes with a second alt head too!
Some very nice stuff!

Well, it is a prototype: the colors are always going to be wonky. For example:
I would really like these more if his shoulder pauldrons were correctly placed. And if we got to see him in his alternate mode.

Outside of Optimus I mean. And even then,that comparison is a bit loose due to those spike things on his cab/chest.

Okay then.
Megatron did seem a little damaged (albeit not like the Space Bridge Accident of '10) after he was flung into the core of Darkmount's fusion cannons in "Rebellion". So that can be used as an excuse to implement this toy's aquatic features.
It is most likely that the writers intend to add the line's signature spikiness into the show, but probably at a gradual pace. Also, it does cost money to create the renders.
There is not one Transformers toy that is right on the dot to the character they represent.

also they have Ultra magnus but no mention of the dinobots or other predacons, maybe they will introduce them at the end of the series

That's not armor. That is the actual toy mold. Only Smokescreen and Shockwave have removable armor.Rated X wrote:Looks like a Seacon. Too bad it's just silly armor on a TF Prime toy.

So what do you think it transforms into ? I just cant picture a jet with a fish head.

That's literally nothing new. XD It's the same altmode, just with differently molded bits. EVERY version of Prime Megatron has a derped altmode; the concept itself is awful.

It's not bad, it's just...meh. It's like "I appreciate the homage, but I don't really care," more than anything. Particularly because this won't end up being in the show.

Am I the only one who thinks his chest looks too bulky with the Sharkticon head parts?
I like the head remold, but the chest looks like it's bulging so much it's gonna fall apart.

It's not the chest that bugs me. It's more the pauldrons. Those things are U-G-L-A-Y.

I like it, but not enough for me to buy and replace my current Prime Megatron like I did ROTF Optimus.

Doesn't look like it. The top is too narrow for it to be from what I can see. It's definitely -something- different though.
Posted by Bumblevivisector on April 25th, 2013 @ 2:04pm CDT
I honestly think the cool colors of the test shots suited the mold better, but this is a much more interesting deco than I was expecting.

You know I'm talking about the Beast Hunters one, right?

An early draft of the Predacon insignia. Could that be our mystery symbol? ...Interesting, but I think it might be a goof that crept through to the stock-photo phase. I expect it'll be replaced with a Decepticon insignia on the version that actually hits shelves. (Or if not shelves, at least online retailers.)
Anyway, it's new, different, and vibrant. I think I like it. And the fish gun/sword amuses me.

2. That's most likely not the prototype pred logo.

I don't know about that, the figure is clearly moulded and painted to homage the G1 sharkticons
Plus im not sure where the "dinobot" coloring comes from, seeing as this figure is gray, blue, purple and green, and dinobot was various browns, blue and white for the bone details
Posted by DecepticonFinishline on April 25th, 2013 @ 3:33pm CDT
I'm happy with it though! The Voyagers and Wheeljack are really hitting the spot for me.

can someone with the mold try a fan-mode to make him stand like a Sharkticon, just to know if the remold will be able to do it?

He was asking if one could take the current Voyager Megatron and try it with that.

I know, but just throwing out there the possibility that he may be canceled, similarly to Generation 2 figures.

Why would he be canceled so early in the game? It's not like he one of those final wave figures that barely make it to markets.Mindmaster wrote:I know, but just throwing out there the possibility that he may be canceled, similarly to Generation 2 figures.
And, Generation 2 had toys. Lots of them. Three-to-four years' worth.
