2 things

1. These arent the final colours.

2. Things can look odd when dealing with the silver colour which is very reflective.
For instance, look at Long Haul below, he appears to have either green on his forehead or a hole right through it but it is in reality just a trick of the camera due to the reflective silver paint.

Yeah, it's not like he spent 70%+ of his time in beast mode standing up like that

Same here. The toy looks fantastic and gives me extremely high hopes for a Beast Megatron. But the blue looks really off in beast mode. I can't help but think this was a deliberate choice to give Hasbro an opportunity to do a more accurate beast mode here in the States at a later date.

That would be a nice change.

And no, it's not a trick of the camera, no professional photographer would allow that much reflection in the studio. Plus we'd see it in the glossy white legs as well. It's too consistent in both modes in all new photos to not be accurate.

At one point it was more subtle, I can't imagine why they looked it and thought "more blue".

Now that looks amazing.

If so then it was intentionally misleading. Check out the bot mode screencap.

The fur is the same color but the bot chest has the accurate metallic blue.
