    Megs looks cool for a FAB, Jolt hmm, will wait to see his deluxe version.

    Like others I'll be waiting to see the larger version, but for now, I really like the head they gave Jolt. It will be interesting to see how that translates to a deluxe figure.

    Hm I thought the Volt would be a decepticon =/ it had the evil vibe for me when i first saw it. Either way, Jolt's design looks pretty good, but I wont be getting any FABs.

    Megatron looks interesting too, and is it just me..or does he have a little flip out sword under his cannon? o__O;

    Honestly, I much prefer the FABs to Activators. Activators while nice, are just too small for my taste. If they were Fab sized they could still be simple yet have some more detail/articulation while matching up better with other deluxes. My FAB Brawl can stand next to another deluxe Dcon and look great but my Activators BB stands next to a deluxe and looks tiny. :( 

    Still though, I'll wait for actual deluxe versions of these guys, Jolt's should look especially cool.

    And that's why he's the 'con in charge.

    He does

    Not bad, Megs tank mode looks really whack as a cheapo FAB toy, almost to the point of being in that awful Japanese squashed up style.

    We've seen the renders so we know what to expect from the full size jobby. Leader Brawl set the bar pretty high though, can a Leader Megs as a Cybertronian tank better it...

    Without a doubt! With Brawl's figure/design, they had to stick with the parameters of a true-to-life modern human-built tank. With this new Megarton design, there are no constraints to what it 'has' to look like.

    Bring on the toys!

    No if you look in that picture Zie linked, its a mechanical blade, more bits and pieces than Prime's it looks like, but still a sword. If you look closely on the end of his cannon, there's a + slot for a missile I believe.

    That Megatron really is all kinds of rubbish. Tank mode is horrible.

    I even think the old FAB Megatron might have been a little better.

    .....

    ....does anyone else notice the strange resemblence in the facial area between "JOLT" and the "SIDESWIPE?" concept art leaked a while back? Everyone thought that anime-style mech face released this summer went to the new vette we saw, but this Volt dude's face looks exactly like that art...totally ignoring the rest of the body, mind you. Also, just as in the concept art this past summer, JOLT has wheels on his fet...


    ...just a thought, found it kinda funny.

    I'm Impressed (When that Gorilla Pounds His Desk)

    Megatron is the best-looking young-version TF I've seen in my entire life, and whoever took these photographs has great talent of a photographer. The lights are wonderfully placed to make the figure shine without over saturating the image, and the poses manage to make even this chibified version look menacing.

    As for Jolt, I don't really care for him. His primary-blue color scheme seems rather bland, and his face is a bit too generic for my taste. The kibble-wheels, however, hint at a very enjoyable transformation for his deluxe-class toy. I look forward to seeing more of him. However, I wish the photographer had given us some wider shots of him. The ones here are too close and show off the figure's blank areas too much.
