    I'm assuming this is about how it's the ROTF model and not the 07 one but without context this post is really fucking funny.

    What are they advertising anyway? This is a rather old movie by most standards now.

    Aww, the kid's got an Autobot pin on his backpack strap. This is really sweet, and its nice to see an old Megatron design get brought back.

    According to Wikipedia: "Sky Q is a subscription-based television and entertainment service operated by British satellite television provider Sky, as a part of its operations in the UK and Ireland, Germany and Austria, and Italy. The name also refers to the Sky Q set-top box."

    Im really happy that they still use these designs from time to time. I was thinking that after the Bumblebee movie that theyd be swept under the rug, but seeing ROTF Megs like that brings back memories

    mans realistic looking non cartoon that is version that what made new transformer fans begin with is bay realistic designs Cartoon comics cartoons toys could not turn people into transformer fans but did with his designs that don’t look cartoony to them

    How is that different from Megatron animated , car robots, energon cybertron , beast wars, prime nothing generation one about those Megatrons

    So is end game came out last year rise of Skywalker there advertising q thing it’s streaming service crap like Disney plus Netflix hbo

    1. Bays designs alone are not what turned people into Transformers fans, they're divisive enough amongst Transformers fans and non-Transformers fans as they are, and I became a Transformers fan from the UT and they're designs were still blocky.

    Learn your punctuation.
    Car Robots wasn't meant to be Megatron until he was dubbed as Megatron and Beast Wars Megatron isn't the same character. The rest have their fans and detractors like this Megatron and all other Megatron designs do, but they have the added advantage not not seeming like a bunch of scrap metal slammed together with some tank treads and being actual characters after their first introduction.

    Bayverse Megatron isn't the same character as G1 Megatron either. Just as Bayverse Optimus isn't the same as G1 Optimus despite being played by the same actor.

    Same character meaning "Megatron, big bad leader of the Decepticons" not a character who is meant to be someone else in-universe even though they share the same name.

    Same character, different incarnation
    Beast Wars Megatron is a completely different character

    Definitely unexpected and nice to see an actually pretty damn good looking appearance of ROTF Megatron. I feel like all of Movieverse Megs’ designs have been great, but ROTF just might be the best.

    Evergreen is an intentional push by Hasbro to line everything in the brand up behind generic G1ish designs to have brand unity, at the cost of trying new things or trying to be unique. Cyberverse, Siege, IDW2 all have the same looking Megatron. You can’t say that about BW, UT, Bay, Animated, High Moon, or Prime.

    I am thinking it is probably the most iconic look for movie-verse Megatron

    So are all the other Megatrons that are not G1 Megatron. UC Megatron is not the same as BW Megatron, despite being played by the same actor. Besides, that's not the point I was making when responding to Nova Maximus.

    Megatron is the big bad leader of the Decepticons, just as also a Megatron is the big bad leader of the Predacons.

    They are all different incarnations of the same character, but they arent the same version we see

    Its like how the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man is a version of Peter Parker/Spider-Man and we also have Tom Holland Spider-Man who is also a version of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, but they arent the same version.

    No, because they're reboots. BW Megatron actually exists in the same continuity as G1 Megatron. It's like how Optimus Primal isn't a new version of Optimus Prime in the cartoon, and is thus not a "version" of TFA Optimus, or Movie Optimus, etc.
