    For a G1 Megatron, I want them to take BBM Soundwave Approach, basically absolutely master the bot mode and then chose an alt mode based on the limitations of the bot mode. I don't care if it's a Tank, Jet, Helicopter, or artillery just absolutely rock the bot mode and then let the pieces fall where they may with the alt-mode.

    Now he does have two advantages, he doesn't have to fit Ravage in his chest and he has a lot of boxy proportions that lend themselves to vehicle alt modes.

    I wouldn't be apposed to a hover tank mode either.

    Gosh, a cartoon-accurate G1 Megs with a tank alt mode would be my dream. I always thought the mass-shifting gun mode was silly. Would be thrilled if they made such a figure for SS86.

    To me at least, Earthrise really isn't that far off. Paint his sides red and get rid of the dirt on his legs and he's pretty much there.

    I hope future Megatron toys include nods to Armada, Energon, Cybertron, and Animated so we can get more variety out of his alt modes and designs.

    So does it really need to transform. Because there is RED.

    Yes that's why they're called Transformers, that's the fun part otherwise they're just action figures. While many people have derided bumblebee movie Soundwave, they actually did a superb job considering they made a perfect robot mode and the tape gimmick is conserved.

    I mean, a tank is basically this but with more play value since it can move under its own power.

    True, but there are a lot of tank transformers. I'd like Megatron to be somewhat unique. You have Warpath, Brawl, Omega Supreme, Blitzwing, and depending on how they're portrayed, Shockwave and a few others as tanks. The idea of a gun placement would mean lack of mobility, but full range of motion. Besides, he'd have the robot mode for mobility..

    To be fair nthough, Meg's mass shifting made far more sense than Astrotrain's. Dude goes from average sized robot to transporting a platoon of average sized robot. And while not mass shifting, Omega Supreme, who could leave earth as a rocket, and then reassemble as a full robot upon landing on Cybertron.. You n st have to believe they have access to dimensional technology.

    I don't like non-mobile alt modes unless it really makes sense for their character (like Perceptor for instance, who would absolutely sacrifice mobility for the ability to turn into a scientific instrument). And I don't want Megatron to just be a generic tank like Blitzwing or Warpath, I still want to be something with more character. My favorite alt mode for him (and probably robot mode too) is definitely the War Within design, with multiple turrets (both his fusion cannon and G1 shoulder gunbarrel) and a bulldozer plow on the front that feels like a carryover from his past as a miner:

    Transformers Studio Series 86 Voyager G1 Prowl moet ook gewoon binnenkomen, maar met het juiste hoofd zoals het moet zien uit The Siege

    According to Google he's saying that if there was a Voyager G1 Prowl in SS86 it should have the correct Prowl head like Siege, rather than the Earth mode's Bluestreak head (or at least that's what I inferred).

    I think he should be deluxe though. Apart from the head and the fact he’s impossible to find, the ER one is pretty good
