Right on, Hasbro Megatron is of much lighter grey & it is more show accurate to me than the Darkness Megatron.

The Alt mode can be Transformed a bit better than the instructions imply.

I'd suggest flipping the belly plate around and having the wide bit facing forwards the trapping the chest plate sides over that then (different from the official way) put the wings a notch lower so they come from the side of the body and don't perch on top of them and then they can be slotted into the gaps in the back of his shoulder plates too which makes for a much cleaner look.
Lastly his feet should be pointed backwards as this replicates the trailing engine parts megatron has quite well (rather than fold them up).

I'd be tempted to either add a tone of silver paint to him to even the whole look out or buy a can of smoke spray laquer and spray that all over his chest and shoulders not sure I'd need another Dark Megatron though with the Shadow Blade coloured one coming out in America which is a much nice "Black Megatron" so I'd probably be more likely to lighten him up to match the chrome - and that would also make him look more like the smaller AM Megatron too.

He's worth buying for hims Microns alone though - I can't see me paying much more than £30.00-£40.00 for him though. As If I was paying a premium for him I might as well spend that money of FE Bulkhead or Breakdown instead and just hope that Hades comes out as a single packed toy.

For those of you who suggested chroming the face causes loss of detail, and didn't read the feedback thread.

Looking at it in hand, that doesn't appear to be the case. The head sculpt has some deep recesses anyway, so chroming it simply means that the light catches it in a certain way.

Oh wow; I love that chrome detail. It really adds such a shiny flair to Megs that you wouldn't really expect from the dark warlord. It's like he forged himself out of pure silver and went to the finest car-wash in existence!

That purple cannon is really cool; helps purple is my favourite colour. Got a nice dark colouring to it, and I find it utterly hilarious when Megs is wearing those wings on his back. He's like some kind of shiny robot angel of doom or something XD

Great pictures, Sol

I will prefer they the paint job which is similar to the FE Megatron than chrome.
