    Why did Bludgeon steal Megatron's head?

    That is certainly an interesting look. Have no interest personally, but have to admit to a very intriguing style.

    I need this thing so freaking badly.

    On another note, while I can definitely see the G2 homage, am I the only one who thinks the head on this also looks weirdly like the CG version of G1 Megatron's face from Beast Wars?

    I agree, the head is very nice, but I also agree in that this body just doesn't quite work, my biggest complaint being the giant G1 Decepticon symbols on this G2 toy.

    I'll go with the general "nice head sculpt poorly matched with the body" sentiment. Kinda looks like if someone tried to make an Andrew Wildman art-inspired toy. :)

    Someday, there WILL a worthy modern G2 Megatron remake.

    That day is not this day.

    Well, the idea was in the right place (I don't think we have that many voyager tanks to work with), but I really don't like the reuse of bludgeon's toy. So much was deliberately shooting for skeleton warrior in his design that all the reuses that come off weird to me. And even then, Headrobots had to unsuck the head sculpt and weapons. Maybe if they bothered to retool the chestplate I'd find it more palitable

    I'm loving the smirk. It really invokes the psychotic grinning Megatron of Generation Two from the comics.

    eh, glad I'm not inclined to picking up more GDO figs, and this Megs is a total pass as well. IMHO Takara/ Hasbro should've gone with the G2 Purple camo scheme instead. so no sale for me I'm afraid.

    Easy pass for me, but when I cover up the brow it reminds me of Overlord.
