    And that's what makes me want to (MAYBE) watch the BB movie.

    The other 4-(5?)...No.

    Fanmade Travis-style Megatron? Count me in :D 
    And 33cm height should scale nicely with TW Freedom Leader :)

    Wow! I kind of love that he's the size of a CW combiner. Bad-ass.

    Huh, Pretty cool someone is taking a fan made design and doing a figure out of it. I really want to buy it, tho I also am thinking what if they reveal the real design for him in the next year or two..... eh I’ll probably still buy this. My patience sucks.

    Actually, I just realized, how is his legs going to move? He's so fat in terms of legs, I'm not sure how theyll even move. I mean, look! They are bumping into his crotch at all angles. Wanna see the enginnering in this. Also, I can't help but notice his alt mode kind of looks like seige megs

    Might be one of those mechanics where parts of the inner legs fold in on themselves to allow for movement, although they don't show any photo's from the back so it's anyone's guess, as I'd be surprised if we got a transformable Bumblebee style Megatron figure in scale with Freedom leader with no leg movement. Although you can tell they can move out a bit since his legs are at slightly different angles between pictures 5 and 7.
    Megatron as a gun as always been dumb to me. At least as a tank he isn't Starscream's target master.

    Could also just be an offset hip joint like how Bandai does with most Gundam models nowadays, where the axis of rotation is near the front of the thigh, instead of in the middle. Or maybe a drop-down hip joint, like they typically employ with the SHFiguarts line, or some larger scale Gundams.

    We had so many realistic toy guns when I was a kid. My grandmother got me Megatron and Soundwave and she was irritated because Soundwave wouldn't actually play cassettes

    I've always thought he should've been a turret. That way, if he wants to be handled, he can be, but also operate independently. And turning into a walking weapon sounds like megatron. Also that idea may work. Letts hope so, cause otherwise that's one static megatron

    Looks pretty cool to me! Much like Wei Jiang’s Optimus was inspired by the MP-10 transformation, this Megatron looks inspired by Siege Megatron’s transformation. I’m a big fan of non-traditional designs, like some of MMC or MakeToys’ stuff, which has a lot of artistic interpretation instead of slavish loyalty to a particular existing look.

    $116? For a figure the size of Freedom Leader?
    If that price is correct, and it isn't just a static figure, this will be good.

    Yeah quite unsure about that one. What I got from google translate was "pre-sale price is 790 yuan" (roughly 116$). This could be just a factory price that doesn't include abroad shipping.
    But still, even if it turns out to be 150$ for a 33cm figure and the quality is good I think it's reasonable. At least it's not another BB Optimus for Christ's sake
