Nice. I'd still like the barrel to have a bit more girth to it, but overall, I like it.

Wow. I really love this design. It's intimidating and very evil looking. (The monster-in-your-closet evil.)

As for why it wasn't used, the people behind the shows and games simply had their own designs that they wanted to use instead. This design was just made for a production bible.

It wasn't scrapped. It got published in the pop up book and in the Covenant book.Megatron Wolf wrote:why the hell wasnt that used it looks awesome, i dont understand how that gets scrapped but TFP & bayformer megs get the go ahead

That face is among the most deplorable things in creation.

I'm not a fan of the face. Too Bay-ish.
But apart from that, this is really cool.

Well, we do have to consider that this design was made back in 2009, back when the movies were still new and the biggest thing in the brand. So it looks like a lot of inspiration came from mostly the G1 and ROTF designs above all.
Can anyone see any other influences in this design that could have come from other Megatron designs of the time (G2, RiD, Unicron Trilogy, Animated, etc.)?

You can see that it influenced the TFPrime version, look at the shoulders, the head, arms, and the feet.
I like this design, if it where updated to be more in the TF Prime style it would be amazing.
