That deluxe Megatron looks beautiful. Reminds me so much of the Transformers 2007 movie Cybertron repaints. Except he has a movie-accurate head which is BETTER!

I might get that Megatron if I can think of someone to repurpose him into for my Classics shelf.
And I keep seeing Shattered Glass Primus when I look at that Cybertron.

Nah, just Really Really Big (or humongous), plus he has electronics. He's the Stomp & Chomp Grimlock of the line.

In other Transformers: The Last Knight toy news, we have some info coming out of Walmart stores thanks to fellow Seibertronian MCutter! It looks like the chain will be doing a promotional tour of their stores with vehicles, toy exclusives, characters (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Hot Rod, respectively for stores on East Coast, Central, and West Coast), tracking, and photo ops as of June 12th - all under the banner of Autobots Unite! Check out photo proof and more info below.

With all the reviews of voyager Megs online, and all the leader pictures available, how come OP confused the two?
Especially put side-by-side with voyager Optimus?

Thank you all, for pointing out what my brain did not, despite watching the whole review twice and checking three times.
And thank you for being nice about...
..oh, never mind.

This time, it's true! There is indeed a Mandarin Chinese video review of Leader class Megatron from the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight movies, shot by the same user whose images were reported here, and the source of the mask gimmick GIF too. The video, however, is on Chinese sharing site Miaopai, and cannot be embedded - you can check it out for yourselves here!

Nice figure for leader megatron I may buy leader over voyager figure I skipped past articulation wast of my time in video all transformer figures move same different body's different series it's redundant and repetitive in all transformers gijoe reviews to show articlautiok of figure if it's third party figure I can see and make expection maybe watch articulation on transformers figure

Articulation can differ quite a bit, actually. Whether it's a swivel or a balljoint, whether there's articulation in the feet and wrists or not; and then with Legions and Legends it can go from excellent like CW Shockwave to almost non-existent. Besides, it's important to show off the articulation to confirm the extent of it for a potential buyer - I want to know how far a figure can move its arms out, how stiff the ratchets are and whether or not it can pull off certain stances. I know this is apparently very important to you since you say it about every review, but I can assure you there are very good reasons the articulation is shown off.

From this review (knowing Chinese does come in handy!), I got that although Hasbro is trying harder this time (unlike AOE Prime), this figure is still flawed. He only has 1 hollow arm, but the way it bends leaves us with yet another under-arm-fusion-cannon Megatron. The silver wash looks faint and just passable. The backpack exists but is not blatant. The skirt plates are a soft rubbery plastic and does prevent him from the full Van Damme. The transformation is somewhat complex and harkens back to ROTF Jetfire. The robot parts are MUCH better integrated than the ol' bot-underneath-a-jet, but the reviewer said that his chest armor doesn't seem to have a proper locking point. Bummer.
At first glance, I anticipated the leader Megs to be superior to the voyager due to its presence, its gimmicks/accessories (changing face plate and flame effect parts FTW) and detailing. But now, the voyager stands as the better-engineered figure. It may not match the leader in terms of accessories (the size and the pin in the middle of the fusion cannon really bug me), but its engineering negates many problems which the leader has while coming across as fresh and intuitive. However, the leader still looks to be a fun figure with a good deal of play value!

Yeah again there seems to be no bad Megatron figure so far in this line no matter what the size (and even that retooled Deluxe isn't bad if not quite for me). I went for the Voyager because of the cheaper price and the better scale to my other figures (including Voyager Prime) and I'm very happy with my choice and he looks great on my shelf (and on my desk... he's already become one of my most transformed figures in years especially considering his size and complexity compared to my usual desk-formers). Leader Megatron may have a couple flaws but he has some great things going for him too including that neat face changing gimmick the Voyager does not have. I think they all have their pros and cons but all are great so no matter which version you buy for your personal collection you should be pretty satisfied with him.
