    Very neat, I'm pretty sure if Hasbro puts a toy in a box and puts Megatron on it, it is Megatron.

    So far the only Transformers series that sucks is Animated.

    ROFLOL Too funny. Animated was a thousand times better than Beast Hunters. Animated is the closest in spirit to G1 (silly, mostly unconnected episodes, and treated itself as a toy commercial, not a soap opera). Transformers: Prime ended for me with season 2. I watched the first couple of Beast Hunter episodes, and it's no where near the quality of writing that the earlier shows had.

    My opinion, only, of course.

    Back on topic, I can't wait to see Pirahnacon & Sharkicon (Gnaw) customs of this figure.

    Prepare yourself. The people with taste are about to descend upon you like buzzards on a corpse.

    I think it's a little unfair to say the toys look terrible, I mean, there some questionable ones (Strascream, for example), but for the most part I think the Beast upgrades look alright.

    The colors are thankfully prototype colors, this would be an atrocity if they weren't.

    As for the design...I'm not sure. I preferred Optimus' original design before seeing his BH design CGI, which I love. Now, I'm not a fan of fish transformers, especially since such an alt mode would be restrictive to Megatron unless they forced it into the plot, but if they do the CGI right it might work.

    But I actually hope this is just another one of those random toys they're hashing out, like the spike-ified versions of nearly every character in the show. I prefer Megatron's old design better, and if they want to redesign him (Something I support, to match Optimus, especially since he's now clearly taller than Megatron by far judging by the scale of the Star Saber in his pic) I hope it actually turns out more like Galvatron or something.

    only just found this thread,
    firstly animated was ok as a series but was not something I could get into
    TF Prime and beast hunters are awesome, but Im doubting that any of the figures that were retooled are based on screen apearences, its too late in the series.

    on topic though the figure looks like it was lifted directly from PRID megs and since I only just bought that figure today, I can say it will suck even with a great repaint, the back is loose, the arms are poorly designed and Im confounded by its transformation and the inability to do it without thinking it'll break.
    In short........
    easy pass
