Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Trilogy Earthrise Voyager Class Megatron Video Review

I really don’t understand all the hate for this mold.
I think people just feel slighted because it is so similar to a mold that we already bought a bunch of times.
But it is still an awesome Megatron.

Agreed, although I prefer the Siege head.

For me, it's mostly that, but also his goofy "sword" that's not nearly as good as the Siege one, as well as his head sculpt. It really only works for the G2 recolor.

The G2 pics also show us that the sword can also be mounted as an over-the-shoulder cannon. How it looks from behind is still to be seen but for me, that helps differentiate it more from the Siege version.

I tried that. You have to remove the plate and use it as a shield of sorts so the cannon will bend far enough forward, the hinge on the peg is not strong enough to hold the barrel in position on mine.

chuckdawg1999, does it look possible to remove the sword blade from the tank barrel for a more normal sword? It looks like it's screwed together from underneath, but maybe it's different in-hand.

Nope. The only piece that's removable is that black plate. You can't even hold the sword "Normally" because the peg can't fold that way.

I don't know why they couldn't have designed this better. Make a 5mm hilt for the blade that slides inside the other end of the tank cannon, and voila! You've got a sword that Megatron can hold correctly. They could have still stuck a peg on the barrel to attach it to the back right shoulder and keep the gun muzzle part of G1 Megatron's robot mode silhouette intact.

I think they had to make it one piece due to how it attaches to the front of the tank. You need it to be one piece to pull it off from the main part of the tank. I wasn't kidding about how hard it is.

Something more is afoot with the Galactic Odyssey Collection.

Amazon has updated their order page for Ratchet and Lifeline with new artwork and descriptions for the set, as well as telling us what the next four planet sets are to be.

(scroll down to the Product Description section)

Plus, they've also created an all new page for the collection itself, complete with a countdown to the next set's reveal.

Now, the questions are: Who is going to be in the next set? And will these sets get cancelled like some of the TR sets?

Those silhouettes suggest maybe Goldbug, a Trailbreaker repaint, and I think a Sideswipe repaint.

Instead of lugging around the giant backpack in robot mode, why not shunt it into subspace like Optimus does with his trailer?
