    G2 Megatron in G1 Megatron colors is what I'm hoping for. (Either of them.)

    If the box is still G1 toy art, I might pick up Megatron.

    I bought g1 Megatron loose last year...needs a box.

    G1 redeco makes sense from Siege/ER milds. Cooler would be, like, Hate Plague versions

    You might be onto something. The guy posting sees a red transforming cassette player. He just knows Soundwave. Blaster was rumored for the reissue line.

    It's weird nomenclature to call them G1 and be WFC molds, but it's certainly not impossible.

    I was thinking something almost like this - Hasbro is all but retconning reality to make Megatron a tank always and forever more. The G2 mold as the base for G1 Megatron re-issues (in G1 coloring, red hate plague, whatever) seems consistent with what Hasbro wants Megatron to have always been

    Please, Hasbro, don't make me buy another redeco of the Megatron Siege mold. I mean... I'll do it, but I won't like doing it.

    G1 Soundblaster reissue and G1 Megatron completely in red transparent plastic to match the Megatron gun that came with MP Soundblaster.

    Which I would buy both of despite my joking. :)

    I want it to be a wacky repaint of G1 gun Megatron. I really do.

    Will this finally be the G1 gun mode re-released in the US? I think this handy pie chart has the answer:

    I guess we really won\'t know until they put a retail price on these.  I don\'t really think it will be a G1 reissue bot with these, because I believe the next G1 reissue is supposed to be Blaster.  More than likely these are redeco of the siege figures without the \"battle damage\" on them.  But it would be cool it they did them in the Red Hate Plague colors.

    "Red" I think refers to "Redux" or "Redo" so it may be a new line altogether or it is the new listing for G1 reissues....though I would think Megatron is a non-starter for Hasbro. I mean....unless it is a massive bright G2 fluorescent paint scheme or some parts are remolded which I HIGHLY doubt. Could be repaints of Earthrise or siege too as others have mentioned. Curious.

    What I'm hoping for is a clean Siege Soundwave and a Siege (but I'd accept the Earthrise) G2 Green Megatron.

    But I doubt the latter is here since it's specifically listed as G1. Maybe just a chrome-plated Siege or Earthrise Megatron?

    I'd like either the unreleased "Safety" version or Classics colors (I legitimately love that deco. It feels very G2 in a way).

    I'm far from a G2 expert, but isn't that this?

    Do we know what the previous releases were named before their official names were attached? I just want to see if anything like "red" has appeared before.

    That is a repaint into one of the G2 Megatrons, but they were talking about the main green and purple tank Megatron
