Not Megatron...

Shockwave!

Hopefully this guy gets an epic figure.

Also, I noted that the figures seem to be smaller than they are supposed to. In the movie, Long Haul towered over Starscream, but now, he seems very short compared to him.

I would both love it and hate it if that was the desig they chose for Overload. Awesome design, but it'd probably be a nightmare to transform

Personallly, I'm not going in on Devastator for a lack of funds and lack of a place to put what will roughly be the equivalent of a titan sized quadroped, but if that is what the Leader Overload toy looks like I'm buying it

Yesss Doctor Shocktapus cooking up Predacons and Constructi-monstercons love that

I was so smitten with Grimlock and the attempt at scale. With Long Haul it’s obviously not perfect he should be enormous their scales are so staggered my god it’s like oh what you want a li’l steamshovel vehicle in there NO Scavenger will be a building with arms on a WHEEL wha huh? And there’s duplicates of many of them it’s a mystery wrapped in a conundrum tucked into a Constructicon.

This can be problematic with some Star Wars and Marvel Legends figures. Sometimes fabric is a nice choice that is stitched well while other times it can flay out a bit much making softer vinyl the better choice.

I was so impressed with how the cloak worked in this figure’s Voyager incarnation.

Would you say fabric was the right choice on this one? Other than the hips do the accessories make it an overall satisfying buy?

In some instances, fabric can be a good thing, while in others, not so much. I like the cloak for SS DOTM Megatron, but I thought it was pulled off way better on the DOTM Voyager.

The accessories are pretty nice, especially that shotgun, even if it is only painted on one side.

About the slouching, I am 90% sure it is meant to do that, as Megatron had a slouch in DOTM.

Overall, I thought SS DOTM Megatron is a good figure, and I think he's only shelfwarming because parents think there is a defect on his face (when in reality, his head is supposed to be like that)

I don't know either. the foot mode looks good to me, and he literally is a foot to a quadrupedal monster, so it's good

Exactly!

And he pulls off 3 nice looking modes along with a decently articulated robot mode at the same time, so what can you complaining about (besides size)?

Are you sure about that? I thought it was only Rampage that joined with another bot to form a leg.

I think you are misunderstanding what Will was talking about. The image in question was from the movie and Will was responding to complaints about how Long Hauls robot mode is too short.

In the movie, Long Haul, Mixmastrer and Rampage did not form Devastator. They were elsewhere fighting when Devy was formed. The bots from the movie that did form Devy were unnamed extras that may or may not have individual robot modes. That's what Will was getting at. There were 2 dump truck cons, Long Haul who was larger than Starscream, and the unnamed bot who formed Devy's leg, and whose robot mode height is unknown.

There were 2 of each. Long Haul and his Twin Haul II. They were seen in robot and combined mode.

Just let it go, you don't need to get so particular about it.

but i am using that as an excuse not to get particular about the combined mode not matching up perfectly.

Why does it annoy you? It's what the film chose to give us.

What he means is, there were two Long Hauls in the movie. One who formed Devastator's leg, and another who fought by himself away from Devastator.

While it’s not my definitive Prime, I gotta say I’m way more impressed by SS-05 than I thought I would be. I’ve also been working on some more weapons to complement the arsenal coming with DOTM Prime!
