Via his blog, Transformers artist and designer Emiliano Santalucia has given us a look at another of his Aligned continuity designs – this time, it’s Megatron himself, originally created for Hasbro’s Binder of Revelations and then subsequently featured in the Covenant of Primus book. This design was also used in The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe.
Emiliano shows off the full design in all its glory, as well as a bonus pencil sketch.
You can check it out and read the full details after the jump!

They really should have went with this design. I never really cared for the Prime Megatron design…It just doesn't look natural to me. The axe wing would have made a great toy accessory.

Barring the ridiculous axe wings its a pretty solid design.

As pointed out in my blog, you can see the alt mode on Ken Christiansen blog

I adore this design. I really hope to see more of the Binder designs, I love emiliano's work that he's shared with us.
Such a cool form for Megs.

At the Hasbro Q&A (Botcon 2011 I think) when they first started fleshing out the Aligned continuity, they said that the Thirteen of the Aligned continuity occupy a different dimensional cluster than the ones we've dealt with previously.

The face is not my taste, but he is cool overall!

Why did this not make it into the final book?

I like this a lot. would buy a toy!

Well, then that'd make Megatron "The Fallen," and Aligned would have to make yet another exception to the whole "Thirteen Primes" being a singularity across all Universes. Course… Aligned isn't the first to defy this rule… but would be the first to make a couple of exceptions.

Man that's cool.

other than the axes, this is so perfect, coming from someone who is strictly G1.

Neato design, though the treads running completely through the legs gets me going "How is a (hypothetical) toy supposed to make THAT work?"
(But then, real working tracks is a rare thing on TF toys, so I shouldn't be concerned with it. )

It's like ROTF Megatron with G1 flare and I LOVE it.

The face is a tad 'simian' for my taste, but otherwise I love everything else (including the gigantic axes) about this look!

Not sure about the face, I think Prime will have to take that away ;/

axes makes more sense than wings. with such a bulky build wouldn't get much mileage outta wings of that size.
I like it, it's like Megatron meets War from Darksiders, two things that I love the look of. Giant robots with techno mideival armor? yeah!

Let me guess – Megatron is reincarnated Megatronus too?
