Those are:
Transformers Studio Series SS-03 Voyager Megatron (Premium Finish)
Transformers War For Cybertron WFC-03 Leader Ultra Magnus (Premium Finish)
We knew we'd be getting '07 Megatron since the preview images had his silhouette in a familiar pose. Hard to think of how a premium finish for a fully painted figure would be like. As for Magnus, this is most probably the Siege mold as this line seems to be Takara's way of giving us the most screen accurate deco for bots found in the Netflix series.
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Im hoping that the premium megatron will be a silver colour instead of the grey version that we got

I have the "battle damaged" ROTF Megatron and it's in a pretty slick paint job. So that's an easy pass for me.
If they ever release '07 Megs in a "premium finish" paint job, Takara better remold the inaccurate chest plate to make it worth it. If they do, I'll be all over this MOFO even at leader price.
As for Magus, it's a big eeeeehhhhhhhh. But for those who for some reason have missed out on both the Siege and Netflix Magnus despite being available for so long and for so cheap, this may be the right one to get. However, will this cost as much as a Commander figure?

This is SS-03 Megs, meaning the ROTF one. The OG was plain unpainted gray.
But SS-31 "battle damaged" Megs is already kick-ass. What can they do more appart giving Megs a "clean" face?

How does it being SS-03 make it the RotF version? It is SS-03 since it is the 3rd one releasing (BB movie bee and prime before this) Everything that we have heard about this figure is saying that it is the TF1 version (that I know of). I would love it if it actually was the RotF version since that one is my one of my favorite figures.

Wait wait wait.
So just to make things more confusing, it's another numbering system.
So SS-03 PREMIUM FINISH is the repaint of SS-54 Megatron.
Jesus.
All right I'll just repeat what I think then.
SS-54 was already superbly well painted in a glorious shiny silver. I wonder what
could do more... APPART REMOLDING HIS CHEST INTO THE ACCURATE ONE?
If they don't, this Megs would not be worth getting at all.

Yes, the numbering is specific to the Premium Finish Line.
SS-03 is actually Crowbar not Megs on the regular SS line.
Wether this turn out to be SS-54 OG Movie Jet Megs or SS-13 RotF Tank Megs or even SS-34 DotM Truck Megs remains to be seen, unless there is some kind of confirmation this is going to be SS-54 Jet Megs already.

STILL no true confirmation on who's it going to be?
Well, if the Generations figure is LEADER Ultra Magnus, logic dictate that it would be leader DOTM. However, it's already being contradicted by the very first release where they pit deluxe Bee VS a voyager Optimus.
Regardless, DOTM Leader Megs could be a good choice because he could use an extra coat of paint.
I wonder what price a LEADER Premium Finish toy would be? I call minimum the same price as a Commander figure.

I doubt the WFC and SS figure releases have any real relation to each other in this line. No reason to think one release will dictate follow up releases either.
As to confirmation of what its going to be, that's the point, some people are saying its going to be SS-54, but I see no such confirmation anywhere. So not sure where this is coming from.
EDIT just re-read WJ's post in the last page and its saying there was a silhouette of SS-54 Jet Megatron, so I guess that's as good a confirmation as any.
I'd take each PF sub-line on its own and not expect a release in one sub line to dictate what gets released in the other.

The clue to the figure was the shadows when they announced the first two figures. Thus far they've been correct, and the shadow matches 07 Megs.

To make it perfectly clear and understandable:
WFC-##: TakaraTomy's Netflix releases
SS-##: TakaraTomy's Studio Series releases (Hasbro's just has the number)
PF WFC-##: Premium Finish WFC figures
PF SS-##: Premium Finish Sutdio Series figures.
ID numbers can have spaces in them now, since TakaraTomy Earthrise exclusives' "ER EX-##".

Amazon Japan has posted preorders for two new Premium Finish Transformers figures: WFC Ultra Magnus and SS Movie 1 Megatron. As expected, these are just redecos so the Megatron toy still has the same chest. Since the original figure was fully painted, this one does not seem as premium a finish as other toys in this line. Ultra magnus on the other hand is definitely different from any previous release. Remember, the WFC Netflix show is based on the toys (which were made first) and the Walmart Netflix toys are so that the characters in the show are available when the show is on BUT these Takara releases are the only toys made after the final show deco is known. Hence why this version of a dying magnus is far more uniform over the Hasbro one. The toy is posed both as alive and as being shot by Megatron so you can use him as you wish.
These toys will also be available on Pulse and we know they are coming to BBTS so they are not exclusives. Magnus is near the $90 mark while Megatron is closer to the $60 mark.

Megatron looks almost identical to the original one, plus some lighter silver scrapes here and there.
Magnus, unarmored looks really cool. Gives me an evil Magnus vibe with the red eyes. The armored version is almost SG Magnus minus the red head.
The Armored version is just meh. I already own the Netlifx spoiler version, so can totally skip this one.

At first I was dismissive of this Magnus. But view that way, it is indeed really cool.
However, the damn thing is MORE EXPENSIVE than many MP figures at full price. Like, damn...
As for that Megs, he look like a straight reissue of the regular Studio Series toy. What a waste. Takara could have went the extra mile to give him an accurate chest, but no.

Ultra Magnus is one of my favorite characters, but this is an easy pass for me. I guess if you are looking for a Nemesis Magnus he’s worth considering, but I’m good without these premium color versions, thus far.

Amazon JP really upping the price on him. Ami-Ami has him for 7740 Yen, that's almost 50% off from Amazon JP's pricing.

Polishing turds can only get ya so far, easy pass on both of these. nice to see a bit of a different look on Magnus, maybe the spoiler pack should have been more like it and MP megs was like £45 and below at some point making premium SS pretty much obsolete.
