    Do people seriously not realize that's Voyager Starscream next to Megatron in a RiD Galvatron-esk bird fan-mode?

    boy that Megatron is Sexy and his Minicons are even sexier, but the fact he costs more than 2 Jet Vehicons....I can't justify the cost.

    Wait, so that chrome isn't stickers?

    Also, loving the Starscream fan-mode.

    I wonder if the chrome is supposed to be indicative of the buff work Breakdown was performing when Megatron was still comatose?

    *runs off to transform Starscream*

    I should probably say something about Megatron, but LaserScreamer is far more interesting.

    Well sir, that's turkey Starscream of course!

    I was highly anticipating this Megatron, but turns out I just don't like him that much. There's TOO much chrome... And yes I am aware that you do not need to apply the stickers, but even without them it's still too glaring. I like chrome when it's justified and muted (kinda like on Buster Prime) and mixed with metallic paint. Had the chest being chromed and the rest flat painted or metallic I would've loved it, there's no reason for the head and shoulders to be chromed too IMHO.

    Dat fan mode.

    The chrome looks stupid. It always looks stupid if chrome is one random place that makes no sense and nowhere else.

    Random chrome splattered on the chest/shoulders isn't much better than really bland looking plastic everywhere.

    I'd like it a lot more of the head wasn't chromed, but I still love it. Best looking Megatron release across 4 lines [FE, AM, US Prime and Cyberverse].

    Love the fact that the arms\legs stickers harken back to G1 Megatron's regal chest tribal stickers. The bat minicon looks SICK.

    Finding it very hard to NOT buy this one right now.

    Wow, that looks really bad. Talk about random application of chrome.
    Looks like the US version is still by far the best, bland colors > this mishmash rubbish.

    About the only thing this mess has going for it is the micron.

    Ok.. 1st off, that Voyager Starscream thing is disturbing. Ok, now on to the subject of Megs. I like the figure mould, and even the choice of black plastics, but the chrome accents seem crappy, since they really accent the mould streaks and scuffs.

    With out the chrome, and just using silver paint, it would look better to me.

    Too chromey for my tastes. A little would be nice, but they went kinda overboard.

    I think you'll be waiting quite a while.

    As for Megs, I think they should have just painted him the same silver as the FE deluxe. That toy is still gorgeous, if you ask me. But the dull plastic on the Hasbro RiD Megs still beats the random chrome.

    All I want is Gora.....
