All these amazing molds have me thinking... a Prime Cyclonus would be just amazing. I'm still sad that Animated Cyclonus couldn't be made because of the then recent classics incarnation being too similar, but maybe the overall sword-wielding design would be worth another shot in TFP.
Megs chest looks like the predicons symbol. Wonder if it was on purpose like starscreams chest being the movie ss head.
how in the hell do you not like this megatron design? this is one of the best cartoon designs we've seen in a while. the shapes, the colors, the lines.. he's sleek but bulky, he just looks super bad ass. i'm sorry that you don't like him. but i believe your in the small minority when it comes to this. plus, why would we want something that looks more like dotm megatron.. we already have a dotm megatron. plus, other than war for cybertron megatron.. i was never really a fan of his cybertronian modes.. but this one i really like. it definitely doesn't look like an afterthought, and it's pretty close to being show accurate. anyways. i love his head sculpt with the teeth and the kick ass eyebrows and helmet. his chest is bad ass, i love the silver with the dark grey behind it with the decepticon symbol in the middle, his arms look great, and his cannon is perfect. but like everyone else.. we need a voyager. i'm starting to get really really sick of the way megatron and the decepticons are treated. it's bullshit. we are getting three deluxe cliffjumpers.. and they haven't even hinted at a voyager megatron.
My theory is that Hasbro knows the deluxe Prime is a POS, so in order to sell it they are packing it with a deluxe Megatron(which is 50,000x better then the OP toy) and not saying anything about a possible Voyager just to get a few more sales from people who won't wait without the voyager being announced. Kind of like you had to buy that crappy Rodimus to get the RTS Cyclonus and Nightstick. I'd be very surprised if very many people bought that set for Rodimus. And there is your baseless conspiracy theory for the day.
If you guys notice 1 of the pic in the gallery which is showing the front part of Meg in plane mode,the plane mode sure spot a look a like of an animal's face,LOL
Probably so ~ Aside from Soundwave (and i hate his arms) I really don't like any of the Decpticon designs from TFP (but i think most of the Autobot are great ~ especially Ratchet and Prime.) The G1-meets-Movie-filtered through Animated aesthetic is a total turn off. It's very, very rare that "Cybertronian Jets" can win me over, they always seem so lame ~ I really didn't like TFTM07's Megatron which this is obviously heavily based off of (and liked ROTF Megatron even less). But DOTM's evil Truck Megs, now that I could get behind. And since Prime is so heavily rooted in Movie vibe, seems like it'd have made sense to go that route. (since you brought him up, i thought WFC Megs was that absolute height of lazy design, i mean, he turns into a diamond with a cannon on top.) I think, again, it's that weird combo of Movie + G1/Animated look. It just doesn't work for me on Megatron.
The DOTM Megs in truck mode sure is refreshing to many of us as we never thought Meg will be in vehicle mode. For this Prime series Meg,sure spot a look which is of TFTM07's plane mode,great job on their designer
I hate that his head is so prominent in his alt mode, but nonetheless, a great toy. I may still hold out for the voyager because I like the bigger toys.
