    I felt the same way until I actually got the figure in hand. The ER head really grew on me after that. In-person the sculpt just looks more alive like @Dachande said and when I compared the two figures side by side the helmet on the ER version definitely looked to be larger.

    My only issue with this headsculpt is that on G1 Megs the black above his eyes always looked more like thick black eyeshadow, making him look edgy and dramatic. But the way it's implemented here just looks like a solid, bushy unibrow. It might even be just a paint issue, the face sculpt itself looks great. Here's a quick and dirty edit that makes the black over the bridge of his nose a lot thinner and I think it already looks better even at just a glance

    Remember that time when Hoist and Grapple were gun toting badasses? Me neither. But here's the pair looking gangsta as fuck having negotiated a higher than expected fee for Ironhide's new toilet installation.

    earthrise megatron came in today and has much more solid than any variation of the siege one. Did do the head swap though, the er head wasn’t as bad as pictures made it look, I just prefer the look of the siege one

    Huh. His head does kinda look small. Is the earthrise head actually bigger than the siege head?

    They're pretty close to the same size really, ER might be a bit taller and Siege might be a bit thicker, but it's not by much
