    If they'd just fix the damn chicken feet then this mold would have so little issue. I hope this hits stateside. Want more G2 goodness.

    Not really a good update, Legends G2 Megs looked more like it.

    whats going on with the poorly placed messy looking faction symbol in alt mode? think it would have been better sticking that on the side of the gun turret

    I can't explain why, but I really want this. Part of me thinks it's absolutely atrocious... BUT, this mold is one of my absolutely favorite molds (moveiverse or otherwise) AND I've always dug G2 Megatron. But again, the choice of this mold isn't a very good, nor accurate one for a G2 Megatron homage... BUT, I love the look... Damn, I guess it will come down to (hopefully) seeing it in-store for me to be able to officially decide!

    i like the bright colours, heads a bit odd on that body but overall i like the sculpt, the transformation is interesting which is my favourite aspect of this mould.

    I had my doubts, but after seeing the close-ups, this is a 100% buy. Hell, I'll trade my ROTF Bludgeon for it.

    Are we seeing these stateside or is this one staying overseas?

    LMAO! I love the way ur arguing with yerself!! Reminds me of the old cereal comercial where the grownup likes this but the kid in me likes this... AWESOME SAUCE! Anyhoo, on the correct subject here, megs'll be an easy pass for me. Blugeon works best for this mold I think, but hey, at least its not another optimus or bb...

    The G2 fanboy in me is conflicted. The homage, tank mode, colors and head look awesome but the body just looks strange for Tank Megatron. Tank Megatron is a big dude who blows stuff up, he ain't no samurai! MEGATRON ATTACK!!!

    Facial expression is a bit overboard IMO, more fitting for post-movie Galvatron after he went CRAZY.
    Also never liked the fleshy human face (like the comic books) as oppossed to the cartoon's style of having flat polygon face angles with cheekbones and such defined by crisp robotic edges. Would have been better had given him a Megatron-style samurai helmet to go with the rest of the samurai look.

    That headsculpt just looks so goofy and amateurish. It's more like the kind of thing I would expect from a third-party add-on.

    That head... it is like a British judge =P
    Well, maybe is Megatron being the judge, the jury and the executioner :ev: 
    And he is soooo badass that he even let the Autobots seeing him in the dark! :cool:

    Not really my cup of tea. Alternity Megatron does the samurai thing a lot better. Geewun head sculpt on a Bayverse body is just odd, like geewun Cliffjumper head on a TFP/FE body.

    It doesn't look so good to me. I especially hate that head.

    This one is a definite "maybe", becoming a "probably" if it hits ROSS stores next year. I do like the image with the long sword sheathed on the hip, reminds me of G1 Megatron having the gun barrel on his hip in (normal) bot mode.
