    Well, I'm buying the Siege version because it comes with two new decos on Battlemasters, so the answer is "Yes, if it comes with something cool"

    No, because I already have the Siege Netflix Megatron. :p 

    If they did a lighter silver on Earthrise Megatron and kept the horsehead, I'd buy it.

    I'm not a fan of dull gray on Megatron anymore no matter how accurate people say it is.

    Once I saw that silver on Netflix Megatron (and movie 1 Studio Series Megatron) there is no turning back.

    Seems highly unlikely they’d do that. I do think there will be a metallic looking repaint similar to Netflix Megatron but the head will definitely not change

    Regular Siege is enough for me.

    No because nothing about that earthrise mold is a step up from siege. Too much rubbish especially the cannon spear

    I don't know. The head sculpt is a huge issue, but the backpack is also problematic. And having already purchased 3 of the 4 Siege Megatrons, including the Netflix figure,I think I would need something more to pull the trigger. Really, I'd like to see one in silver/chrome, but lighter than the NF version with no battle damage.

    Nope, it's a huge step backwards from the Siege mold for me.

    Same here. Not a fan of the weird cannon spear at all.

    I'm not a fan of the paint on Netflix Megatron. The half-burnt paint effects just stand out against other figures.
    If the ER Megatron just had silver instead of gray I'd be happier. The head sculpt doesn't bother me, as it may look better in hand. If it doesn't, then I'll just swap it with the Siege one.

    The silver would be a step up. But the one thing about ER Megatron that bugs me more than the head is the lazy way they designed his sword/chunk of tank. Siege Megatron's sword was better executed and didn't look so kibbly when in sword mode. No amount of silver paint or reused head could cover that up.

    on top of everything I don't like the new abs. I get that they are technically correct, but they look really goofy to me. Siege Megs "stair step" abs give him a more natural waist taper.

    I said in a different thread, I feel like this might be another case where aligning a 3D toy to a 2D drawing results in something that feels really "off"

    I answered yes, but I suppose the answer is no, as I've got Netflix Megatron now and don't feel any need for another variation on this mold; at least not unless they shocked us with a super nice Marvel Comic look.
