    You think the hate is over the top? Have you actually looked at it?

    On second thought, I've changed my mind. Loot Crate's Optimus Prime looked stylized. Badly stylized, but stylized nonetheless. Megatron just looks like they took a child's badly-proportioned drawing of Megatron and based their figure off of that.

    Please for the love of god tell me these are for humor purposes if not i’m begging you to fire the guy designing these it’s a slight improvement from the last one but that’s not saying much.

    Looks like something inferno would make out of scrap in a blind panic to create a makeshift altar for his queen... and then immediately burn it to the ground out of sheer frustration.

    Yeah, and I don't see a need for repetitive, expletive-laden, and now redundant insults, let alone hatred. And wishing for someone to lose their job over this? Really?
    It's a stylized take on the character, and while I personally don't like it, I also don't see a need to actively hate it. I know it's not something I want, so that's it. No need for the "I can insult it more than the last guy" contest that is somewhat common nowadays.

    I don't hate it. In fact, the thing is so ridiculous I kind of like it. I wouldn't buy it, but it is so bad it is entertaining.

    First time I hear about Loot Crate, what is it about? Can I get it too? or is it like the case of the TF Kingdom commemorative box which only gave away to the pages that sponsored Hasbro and other virtual stores only for the USA?

    As Bad as Megs looks - what are the odds it even ships on time in this environment?

    Or people are taking the piss on a genuinely ugly product and having a laugh because what other value does this have?

    I definitely don't hate it, I just find it really funny looking.

    Gives me Titanium Megatron vibes, you all know the one.

    “The unique Megatron” :lol  :lol  :lol 

    So polite! :p  Yeah, “unique”... do they expect humans to exchange money for this? Like, this isn’t a joke, someone at Lootcrate intended for this to be an actual product??? Just... wow. WOW.
