    Just noticed the foot tilt.....and the amount of poseability this guy has

    He looks like a brick but i see wrist swivels, a torso rotation, and the standard leg and arm joints!

    Looks so boring, is this a one step changer? Im sorry I expect more from a leader figure that will cost over $40. Looking like more money for third party figures so far.

    Um, yes, that's what I've been expecting from Hasbro actually.

    They look okay, but I probably will wait until video reviews show up and than I'll make a decision and besides the 3rd party Megatron looks a little bit better, too.

    Both look awesome, g1 works better than Armada but that one works enough for me to want it.

    I love it when Hasbro brings back some of the Well known characters from the Armada series. But I think Hasbro can try harder. I'll be nice and wait to see the Armada Megatron in hand video or in imaging.

    I hope this guy is not too tall as to fit in with the rest of his line mates. Other than that I would prob get him.

    Tank mode looks amazing. Robot mode....I got my hopes too high.

    Help me Toyworld bomber Megatron, you're my only hope.

    I like the G1 one a lot. The legs looks too busy to be Megatron though...eh.

    But I'll pick this up for sure over Jetfire.

    It looks like you can Transform the G1 Megatron like the Armada one, giving the G1 version the IDW Stormbringer design's backpack treads!

    Still not a fan of the long, skinny Fusion Cannon, but hell, looking at that Stormbringer Design, his cannon wasn't exactly huge either!

    For a leader this is beyond disappointing.

    Jetfire looks fantastic, but this Megatron are not at all what I expected.

    I dig the G1 Megatron (I wish the head was less 1984), but the Armada version looks a little awkward. The head is perfect, but it looks like they just splashed some green on the tank and called it a day. Why not remold the chest? Or at least have it not a block of solid grey? Armada Megs had a ton of cool detail on his chest. The legs look too skinny, too. Armada Megs had a lot of chunk, and this toy is very much anti-chunk.

    Still looks good, though. Nowhere near as distressingly disappointing as Voyager Optimus.

    While this is a monumentally better fig than Optimus, it's still not very good for a Leader class figure.

    They need to make him bigger now. They will get a bunch of customers if he wasn't so small of a figure. He is barely taller then a voyager. But if they did that I would so get it.

    I like the G1 version, but the Armada version is a HUGE letdown.

    Jet fire is ZOMG amazing thats why we expected the same for Megs. IDK what they were thinking. This is not the Megatron we were looking for.
