    That is what it looks like, but it looks like it may have lost the articulation that the original UFO arm had, at least in the fingers.

    Something about these new in hand photos makes it seem too big for Megatron. His cannon was never that large. I dunno. The gray model stages on Facebook looked good. Maybe more in hand pictures will change my mind.

    Having it in hand and attached to Megatron I am very pleased with this upgrade! The detail in the mold is incredible and the blue LED in the cannon is a sweet little bonus!

    Now to paint it to match the rest of my Megatron!

    I was just on BBTS and saw this with the Alien Attack Megatron Cannon upgrade kit. (Pretty sure DreamFactory and Alien Attack are the same compay.)

    APX-02 & 03 Upgrade Set - Third Party Transforming Toys & Accessories Alien Attack Co.

    It appears to be an upgrade gun and saw blade for Voyager Ratchet. Pretty cool but I know I won't be buying it any time soon.

    (I wanted to upload pictures but it wasn't working for me so just check out the link)

    Found a video review for it. Looks SOLID! Can't wait for BBTS to get their preorders in. ROTF leader Megs is the only movie Megatron figure I own. I want a figure that stands head-to-head with ROTF Prime, and this is the only option so far. This arm looks like a worthy upgrade (I already have the UFO arm upgrade)

    This upgrade is awesome! Finaly got around to getting and it got here a few days ago. Definitely helps ROTF Leader Megatron a lot, especially partnered with the UFO Arm!

    Why has no one just KO'ed the UFO arm in proper colors, like this KO Leader? That arm looks great!

    Does anyone know if this is the case? Are these the same arm?

    I watched a review that BensCollectibles did, and DreamFactory and Alien Attack are different companies.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6OkT_n21Vw

    Just for comparisons to the video review, I do enjoy how the DreamFactory arm looks compared to the Alien Attack version. Especially in regard to the fingers on the regular hand. Just my opinion though.

    I'm actually kind of digging the scale of the Alien Attack one more, I think. The Dream Factory one seems slightly oversized to me.

    Thanks for the link, by the way!

    Too bad he didn't compare the arms side by side.

    Yeah, things happen to have a habit of just showing up a lil bit after I reach my 180 day hold limit with them, very annoying. I even emailed them to see if they could hold it a day or two but somehow it was already at the warehouse. Normally shit takes a while to enter the warehouse. My loot got shipped last week, Monday this week, guess what comes in? Alien Attack upgrade.

    I to have jumped onboard the rotf megatron train,
    I need a movie megs and the rotf version speaks to me more then the other 2 incarnations (3 if you include tlk)
    I went with alien attack for the cannon and also brought the ufo left arm,
    I dont own the mold yet (on its way to me) but im toying with the idea of getting the ko dark energon version to part swap bits colour wise,
    Anyways - my megs needs to stand well with weijiang evasion prime and this megs is 5cms to short.
    But i noticed on benscollectables review that he mentions a possible leg upgrade and new head, and that hes seen pics.
    I have looked and cannot find any info,
    Hope its all true as this could be the definitive movie megs.
