I'm wondering if this is a finished work?...doesn't stand out as flashy as the usual Megatron alt modes....maybe there's more to come.
Tank modes are okay, but I think I prefer Megs jet modes.

 

While I'd prefer an Earth based mode for Megs, a tank just doesn't feel right; it's too slow and lacks majesty or grace as well as being smaller than most jets, which is fine for a character like Brawl, for example, but not a leader. The Cybertronian jet mode is equally weak though so perhaps a stealth bomber or, as others have said, an Osprey type vehicle would've been better.

 

Seems too complicated and boring.

 

I agree with this a whole bunch.

 

As far as tank alternate modes go that's actually pretty snazzy. It reminds me a lot of the light tanks from TRON especially the hatches and the over-sized, boxy flash suppressor. It's certainly better than aping the silly Cybertronian-whatever mode from the first film and better than another H-tank. If I had to choose, I would still go for the dual rotor chopper from Animated, but this is a close second. Down the pike I hope we'll either get a "Generationized" Animated Megatron in the style of Lugnut and Blitzwing or a Voyager tank that looks something like this.

 

I prefer Megatron's jet mode. Aerial vehicles, in my opinion, fit him well. Plus Shockwave has the tank alt mode already covered.

 

For plot reasons the alternate mode he's got now is best.

But I like the tank better....Perhaps if he was a triple changer.....

However TF:animated nailed it.....a Gunship was perfect.

 

I prefer the jet. I get enough tank from Shockwave.

 

I'd actually rather Megatron went Tank, and Shockwave stuck to Cybertronian fantasy vehicles. After all, even in G1, Shockwave was a 30-foot long flying space-gun.

Somehow, G1 Megatron as a fast-moving flying vehicle always felt wrong to me...

I'd love it if somehow they worked Megatron into a triple changer with realistic tank and cybertronian helicopter modes.

 

Want a damn good Tank Megatron design?

Check out this custom by xaviercal:

 

Count me in on the "I'd rather have a tank than a Cybertronian jet-plane-crumple-thing"-boat.

Though I'd be way more interested in seeing the 'bot mode.

My bro. Agreed on all accounts.

Also, is this "Osprey Megatron" that everyone keeps referring to the Animated alt mode? I know he's a twin-rotored VTOL vehicle thing that does resemble an Osprey (sort of), but I can honestly say that I've never heard anyone call TFA Megatron an Osprey.  

 

I'm assuming that's the case. If we're limiting Megatron to one alt mode, then I agree with others that an Osprey or VTOL type vehicle is best. I really think a triple changer is most suitable, with a tank and some sort of flight mode, but all triple changers require sacrifices in toy form.

 

So they would have needed to have agent fowler driving a tank...
