    Holy fuck, it's gorgeous. Though he's not the right shade of blue.

    This image, and one other, seem to originate with this weibo user. I don't know the relation, but comments indicate that this is an unfinalized paint sample.

    Cool! So it likely means it's gonna be more colored properly in the finalized version.

    That's what their comments suggest. A couple people zeroed in on the blue right away. It definitely should be more navy than royal. Looks like final products will have a weathered effect to them too, which would be great.

    Can't wait to see Megatron.

    I don't know if it's been reported, but the eyes will also light up via a magnet-operated switch in the head:

    I prefer just pressing a button rather than having to worry about magnet switches that don’t work half the time or needing a magnet on me at all times.

    Would be less of a problem if the Magnets are incorporated into the weapons. Then you'd not need to worry about it! You're way less likely to lose weapons for a figure.
