The tank is slightly mistransformed, in the front.

 

That’s always feels like a lazy designer excuse for living bot kibble visible in sci-fi alt modes. My point is, with the space available, it looks like it would have been fairly easy to have tucked them away, either in the leg itself or in the gap between the legs. Obviously doesn’t 100% mean it would be, but it sure seems like there’s ample opportunity.

The contrast of the silver and black just calls a lot of attention to them by my eye, and makes that one portion look either unfinished or mistransformed.

 

Well this IS on their home planet so there's no real point of really trying to hide your robot mode parts unless if there's a really good reason to.

 

It doesn't look like kibble, though. Just looks like a flaring or some kind of vent. It matches the angles of the rest of the tread fenders/coverings/whatevers.

 

I was thinking the same thing. It seems like a purposeful design element, it just has a mixed level of effectiveness because we know its his foot. I might like it more once I have the figure in-hand or see more photos of it. Right now I'm not a big fan of the alt-mode. It reminds me of Generations Warpath and I don't like that and I usually don't like H-type tanks in TF designs (I do like Gen Warpath). It feels lazy and uninspired. But again, I might feel differently once I'm holding the figure. Compared to recent voyager figures (TR Octane, Astrotrain and Blitzwing) the alt-mode is not holding up well (IMO). Robot mode looks great though and that's the best Megatron non-MP head sculpt I've ever seen.

 

G1 cited stealth as the primary reason why transformation was developed in the first place.

In this case, it's pure designer lazyness "because cybertronian mode."

 

I'm already thinking of this as my chug Megatron. Unless there's going to be a Leader class in the future.

 

None of you are bothered by the ugly milky gray plastic color?

In the olden days, Takara would have repainted this or used a nicer color for the plastic, but now we're stuck with Hasbro's choice.

 

I am not a fan of chrome either, but a nice silver or gunmetal color would have worked a lot better for Megatron, IMO. This way, I am not even considering this figure.

 

what I meant its design type where it looked like hey were expiremented upon like in dreamwave. so they will look out of place together and that will bother me

 

"It's Megatron. Megatron is gray. Hello!" - Thew Adams.

 

There is gray, and there is ugly gray   and THEN there is the Hasbro ugly milky gray.

 

Like, graywater gray

 

There's already a chug Leader


This is definitely my definitive Megatron

 

I meant a new one. Maybe with better arms.

 

Yeah, CW Meg's got so much right....and so much wrong...but he's worth having.

 

exactly.

 

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Black Mamba ( or some other KO company) not only make an over-sized KO of this guy, but to also give him silver paint as well.
