    Freaky deaky Transmetal II-esque design. Looks very much like Cybershark 2 to me.

    I like it.

    Maybe this design eventually evolved into what became Skybyte?

    I'd doubt that, given that Sky-Byte was a straight-up repaint of TMII Cybershark.

    That said, I'd love to see this made.

    i think as a non transformable figure this might look alright...but given the time period this was designed in it would have way too much kibble and i think would like like garbage in toy form.

    Without a doubt (and sorry to the person who drew this) that has to be the HOGLIEST Design of Megatron in any line I've ever seen.I mean people talk on here about Gorilla Arms,well that people has to be the King of Gorilla Arms,they almost look like they would drag the ground even with him standing straight up.

    And I thank heaven this never came into production,some people may like this concept but for me it just looks in 3 syllables HI-DE-OUS.

    I'm sure some will like it, but personally I'm not fond.

    Megatron or not, it would be neat to see this idea taken to completion.

    Very G2 comic book looking.

    Yeah, I don't outright hate it like most tf purest types will, but I don't see how it honestly would work as an actual transformer. It's a visually crazy design that's interesting to look at, but it's not a practical one.

    Now that's interesting. The arms are too large, but other than that, I wouldn't mind seeing a Megatron influenced by this design.

    It's a early sketch, had it gone further, I'm sure they would have refined it

    That would look horrible as a toy. Glad it was never used.

    Looks horrible. Probably would have been garbage.
