I definitely like Takara's take on Megatron much more than Hasbro's. I hate crappy Megatron decos, something which Hasbro has had too many of.

Metroplex: All that unpainted white plastic. 
Megatron: G1 colors on a mold that's obviously sculpted to be Miner Megatron.
Starscream: Wrong color layout for that body.
Sandstorm: Different, but I'm fine with Hasbro's.

He's coming in Wave 6 (October 26). We still haven't seen official pics of Wave 5 (September 28) yet. We gotta see Wave 5 before we can see Wave 6.Cyclonus43 wrote:DAMMIT they keep skipping Ultimate Dragotron/Predaking!

These all look much better than the Hasbro versions, especially Sandstorm and Metroplex.

That Metroplex is a sexy beast. I sure hope it doesn't yellow over time.
