    Because, believe it or not, this is iconic. This is the second design Megatron took in the series as a whole (not counting Galvatron of course or Super Megatron which was unknown to the West for a long time) given it was his new form in Generation 2. Its like Powermaster Optimus Prime.

    I need this. I don’t care if it’s worse than the Siege one. It’s painted so well <3

    Before Earthrise Megatron was revealed, I was hoping he'd be a straight up G2 tank Megatron. The sting of getting a slightly different Siege Megatron all over again in Earthrise is amplified by seeing the new mold colored like G2 Megatron.

    Nobody\'s talking about how the photographer put his fusion cannon on backwards?

    Absolutely agreed. I don’t see any benefit to the G1 chest after the recent Siege version. I would have loved a more G2 style chest, especially with this deco on the table.

    If you look at the side by side comparison it definitely has. The panels line up more and the tank turret is different, plus the housing/ armor has been smoothed

    I could easily pass on this iteration WFC Megs but won't.

    Were you a Transformers fan in 1992?

    The answer to that question really determines the appeal.

    The side-by-side is with Siege Megatron, not Earthrise Megatron.

    Yeah, or some third party company can 3D-print some plastic adapter that plugs from his back and applies a peg hole onto his shoulder?

    I don’t know. Someone will come up with something.

    I will never stop kicking myself in the pants for not buying this guy. I can only hope BBTS magically manifests some new stock like they’re doing with Legends Chromedome and Mindwipe, but I'm not holding my breath.

    I now wish Reprolabels will get to doing stickers to repurpose this into BW II Megastorm.

    I think they missed their best opportunity for that with Titan Returns...having Megs and Prime titanmasters would have fit his gimmick perfectly.

    As for G2 Megatron...I'm not surprised, but I was hoping for at least a shoulder mounted cannon since it is such a big part of his look.
