I never had the old one, almost got the bludgeon version back during rid01

 

The green and black of the cannon and sword are made to homage his missiles more that his shoulder cannon.

I think Pulse still has him... Also they will "authorize" a charge witch you will see as a pending charge on your account.

 

It was never on pre-order at Pulse, so all orders were charged immediately.

For pre-orders there in general, they place a temporary authorization charge on your account then refund it. Then you're billed when your item is in stock and ready to ship out. Your orders will be listed as "authorized" and "unfulfilled" until then. It will change to "paid" and "fulfilled" afterward.

 

Thanks for the info

 

I got my shipment notification.

 

Got my shipment notice too and it’ll supposedly be delivered today as well. Not sure I believe that but we will see

 

Was Megatron meant to be a TRU exclusive?

TFU.INFO on Twitter

 

I doubt it.

A: toysrus is long dead as a retailer at this point, this likely wasn’t in the pipeline yet.
B: why would the glyphs work on the website? This figure isn’t siege proper, it’s a generations selects figure cobranded as siege, like red swoop and ricochet being cobranded selects and power of the primes. In addition to that the glyphs that work on the website are only revealed via black light, these glyphs are not hidden at all

 

Then why put the TRU name on the box in big letters?

 

That’s not necessarily the tru name, the second symbol looks like a 2 not an r. Also toysrus bit the dust back in October, more than enough time to revise the packaging considering how minimalist it is. And if it is supposed to say TRU then what are the other two small marks on either side of the t

 

Sylised Graphic, meant to make it look spray painted?

 

It doesn't say "TRU". It says "War" in Cybertronian.

 

It’s two extra distinct markings, not overspray. Personally I can see how someone could see TRU in that graphic, but that’s not necessarily what it is

 

Something I’ve noticed is that they actually seemed to make a decent amount of this guy. Has any website sold out yet?

Either that or only the collectors interested in the deep cuts are buying him. Also curious as to the planned schedule of release.

Is it release a new figure after the last has sold enough units, or a new figure every couple of months?

 

This exclusive feels less like a solid G2 Megatron and more like the fetish project of a massive Supreme/Sneakerhead at Hasbro  
The box, the inner print on the "shoe" box, the camo and gradient fades on his weapons lol  

 

I too am curious about this seeming plentiful quantity.

 

their word for war is our word for "a toy store reduced to shambles"... really makes you think.

 

That’s deep man. Really makes you think, ya’know.

 

It says "war".

 

I find this guy to be awesome.
