    Guess even near-omnipotent time traveling Transformers with the power to shoot you when you're born, die, and in the present at the same time aren't immune to repainting.

    That black convoy is really plane compared to the others. Blue Megs looks good.

    A-02 Megatron has been delayed till mid June according to this month's Figure King magazine. The blue version will also now be called "Premium Le Mans Blue", as the color option is known in Japan instead of "Monterey Blue".

    cant wait for my blue megs.

    I'm guessing that Black Convoy is missing some paint apps judging by the box art still having silver paint apps on the robot mode

    Paint the logo purple, and you have Shattered Glass Optimus Primal!


    That blue Megs would really make a great Predacon Megatron, too. Yessss...

    Inverting the insignia would be good enough for me, I can't look at the pic clearly but if that's what they'll do I'll be extra impressed!

    Megatron is a mess. Especially his legs.

    I agree with whoever said those legs are terrible on Megs, then again I didn't like Alternity Convoy when I first saw him, either.

    I love my Alternity Red Convoy, but I won't be getting the Nemesis repaint. I am torn between the blue and silver Megatron, though...
