    It's because they're all treating this line like Armada, Energon, or Cybertron with the ever present mindset of expecting a Galvatron repaint of Megatron. Probably gonna expect a Galvatron repaint of Movie Megatron too...

    I agree. The ONLY repaints I'd like to see in this line are Skywarp and Thundercracker.

    And BTW, Megs looks better and better with every new pic.

    Yes. Shockwave definitely needs some GEEWUN CWASSIK WUV

    I'm sorry, Am I the only one that thinks this new Megatron looks like a Marti Gras costume? I mean, come on!

    I haven't seen any comparisons to Mardi Gras costumes, so yes, you're the only one.

    I really like this mold. I'm thinking about repainting a bit, use some darker colors and maybe do a little bit with the helmet. Other than that I think he's cool. Nice to see that the 'wings' can fold in the back like that.

    The mold doesn't look bad. The wings have got to go, though. But I think the color scheme is ridiculous.

    Ditto. Best Megs yet, IMO. I even like the colors they picked.
    And I'm willing to bet that if it wasn't supposed to be an update of G1 (say, if this was introduced as the new form of Armada Megatron), the number of people whining about the colors would be cut by more than half.

    Love the mold. Absolutely love it, even the wings. It's just the colors that get to me. Hopefully we'll see a more sedate color scheme later on. Even so, I've already got mine preordered. If it drives me up the wall, I'll probably buy one to try repainting.

    The only thing that I really can't stand is the green underneath the wings, which'll mean I'll have to hide them behind him - but I don't want to do that, because the wings are cool! Argh!!

    Same here. Exactly what I thought.

    I'm also relieved to see the "wings" can be folded all the way back like that. Looks so, so, so much better.

    Looks good. Still don't like the fact that the eyes are green and that he still has a unibrow. Also I don't know if this has been pointed out but it looks like this figure will not have articulation at the waist. Still all in all the best Megatron in years in my opinion. I would love to see them soon but my wallet needs a rest so I can get the figures out now and coming out before November. Plus the Nintendo Wii will set me back. Damn I hate it when things come out so quick.

    Looks cool. I wish the wings could fold toward each other somehow to resemble the old gun barrel look. I don't dig the unibrow but I can cope, I just wish he was more along his show colors.

    I'm getting Galvatron depressed. I want a G1 Galvatron that looks like G1 Galvatron looked like in the movie and cartoon to replace the original ugly toy. I had hoped between Titanium and Classics that I'd get one, but alas...
    Though I agree with earlier posts that if they repainted Classics Megatron into Galvatron that that would be horrid.

    Classic Megatron should be remolded and painted to be Shockwave, Galvatron would be an easy and lame repaint. Funny how the prototype looks better than what seems to be the final product, no unibrow in sight. No I don't count jazzed up official photos of figures like Galaxy Force Vector Prime as a proto. The box doesn't have the unibrow either so what genius at Hasbro said lets take Megatron and make the forehead black, it will look so much better than a more G1 accurate Megatron. Worst move ever for one of the best toy lines ever.

    I'm just curious, but why won't Energon Galvatron work? He has about 80% of G1 Galvatron's details, has TWO orange cannons that look like G1s, and has a rich purple color to him. He may not be a cannon, but he doesn't need it to me. But if he isn't what you are looking for, that's fine. I was just curious.

    As for Megatron here, I think he looks great. Even with the orange added due to safety concerns. I can't wait for them to come out. I will display him right next to the tank Megs that is coming out.
