I call fake. I don't belive a thing that is not actualy in side the movie itself.

For the love of god dont be real. Thats just as bad if not worse than the first iteration of movie "Megatron".

Well, if it were real, it is better than last one, if it's not, I hope yet, for better.

Let me amend that. It's better than the first movie's design, minus his skeletal, under-developed arm... no more ripping Autobots in half you bad, bad robot.

the style of the drawing looks different to the other 'concept' artwork we've see.

so i'm saying its fake (or of not fake, misinformation)

it looks like megatron had a teleporter accident with johnny 5

I'm really hoping that's either a fake, or it's a transitional piece and not what Megatron will become by the end of the film, or trilogy.

He looks awful as is in that picture.

I love the Leader Class figure for the first movie Megatron, but if they made a toy of this guy, not a chance.

Looks like a concept drawing from the first movie to me.

We'll see.

TFW2005 has some rather official looking concept images of Megatron in his Tank Mode....

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/190483-more-rotf-megatron.html

Interesting placement for his head..... BSG Cylon Raider anyone?

....This is the same source that shows us that Jazz is back... etc..

I really don't think this is true, but hey it could possibly happen. The head doesn't look too bad.

If i remember correctly the Jazz pic didn't have the 'TOY' watermark on it.....

I really hope this is fake or an unused concept from the first movie. The bot mode looks worst than it did in the previous movie. The only thing that looks better is the arm cannon, but that is overshadowed by how terrible the other arm looks. The alt mode is slightly better, but the head is still clearly visible. To be honest I hope what we have been told is true, and Megatron is not in this movie. If they want to have him come back in part three as Galvatron that might be okay.

Am I the only one who can't see the image? :S

I've seen the tank... just not this robot picture...

EDIT: Nevermind, found it on TFW...
Does not look as cool as the tank mode. Still think it has a chance of being a cutting-room floor concept from TF1...

I only post when necessary; new movie robot/alt designs... major movie developments or the "have you designed a transformer" thread.
I don't post constantly; since TF1 came out and now, I barely posted anything. Otherwise I just lurk

After seeing pics of both modes, I can safely say that the tank is designed better, by far.

The robot mode really kinda sucks. =\

Are the images still up? The link is neither showing up or even appearing. Can some help me get a look at what all the fuss is about? :grin:

Last I checked, the pictures were still available. (although that was 2-3 days ago, so....)

Bottom line, here's what you've missed:

Megatron robot mode has the same torso and head.

Left arm is a very stripped down "gimped" version of the original from movie 1.)

Right arm is a weapon (which doubles as the cannon for tank mode.) Also has some sort of shield thing on the shoulder.

Legs have been replaced by tank treads.

Megatron vehicle mode (tank) looks nothing like the alt mode from movie 1.

He's apparently rocket propelled.
His face is semi hidden.

Until you see the pics, you can't get the full picture, but I can safely say that this wasn't their best design. The robot mode suffers greatly. Vehicle mode deserves a passing grade, but it's nothing to write home about either.
