    Looks like he's too short if anything, going by that. Would need to be about a head taller, or Prime a head shorter. That silhouette has it looking like the top of Prime's head is about level with the bottom of Megs' chest panel, rather than being in the middle of it.

    I've always liked the disproportionate size idea. Megatron was historically a gladiator, after all, so it makes sense he'd be more of a hulking brute.

    I wonder if the transformation would be simple like the Bumblebee Soundwave was since there's no reference for this figure to follow. All it is is just a tank. It looks solid enough from the pictures. The ThreeZero WFC Megatron is making me want this figure. Don't ask me why.

    Looks really simple actually. Arms go back, hips expand and legs go along the side, and the cannon makes the turret.

    They're matching American retail now, lol. Oh well! No rush to buy if the price is already maxed out

    Something tells me that the price will only go higher closer to the release

    Megatron towered over Prime in the 2007 movie. Was slightly bigger in ROTF, and the same size in DOFM. Slightly shorter in AOE, then same size again in TLK.

    I’m good with him being a monster compared to Prime. It’s like Kareem Abdul Jabbar vs Mugsy Bogues.

    I'm probably the only; but I was thinking of pairing him off with MPM-12, judging from the above image and how tall MPM-12 is compared to TW prime, MPM-12 might actually be the most accurate in terms of height.

    this thing looks badass and "Scales" well enough with TW prime/3A etc. my problem is not wanting to collect that scale. freedom leader was a one off for me and i don't even know if i'll keep it. also call me old fashioned but i like prime and megs to be roughly the same. haha. i'd prefer this to be the same height (not scale) as MPM-12 but we can't all have our way. enjoy folks

    I was pretty interested in this guy until I saw his size. He is just going to take up a lot of my limited space being so big. I'll have to think hard about him. Will probably come down to the reviews honestly.

    This is so cool, I just wish it was Studio Series scale so Bee Prime has someone to stand next to.
