    It's the red eyes and the gray metal—uh yeah, I don't see it either.

    Also, you guys can save $2,000 in a year, this definitely is not a 2017- early 2018 release. We're talking mid 2018- early 2019 for this beast to ship.

    They cost more than $4500 here. People go to college with that money.

    This comparison makes me laugh, no offence or anything. You just highlighted all the corresponding body parts regardless of if they actually match the shape of G1 Megs. You could literally do that with anyone except for the arm cannon.

    Hell, you highlighted the ankle guards on TLK Megs and then just put a green blob over G1 Megatron's ankles like that means anything. :lol  I'm not saying I dislike the design at all, but the comparisons to G1 Megs are pretty loose. Hell, it only resembles Prime Megs because both he and this one are just more simplified versions of Movie Megatron with an arm cannon, I wouldn't even call that a deliberate homage. The only thing TLK Megs really has in common with G1 Megs are the shapes that compose the face. The similar triangular cheeks and straight nose, etc. But even that could just be coincidence of just being a robot face.

    Anyone else find it sad that this studio seems to give us a better visual understanding of these characters than the films do?

    Their statue of Galvatron had me examining every picture, trying to figure out how they had \'constructed\' him.

    With that I meant that this is the closest we've got to a G1 foot for Megatron, and the smartest way to make it work in a realistic style.

    Kinda? I mean a static statue is always going to be easier to read than a moving version. Just look at superhero costumes.

    Though I understood Megatron's design the firts time we saw it. The statue just reaffirms my love for it.

    It's not really. If anything ROTF is the closest because it lacks toes, but none of the movie Megatron feet are even close to G1 Megatron's.

    We used to get these nice high-resolution CGI renders of everyone. I'm not sure why they stopped.

    To me is the one that resemble a foot under armor/ankle guards like it was in the G1 version the most, anyway I don't want to start an useless discussion and I see that both of us love this design, I just thought that was a cool touch. ;)

    The gold accents really make this statue pop.

    I must see one of these things in person one day. Until then, I can only be 99% convinced that these aren't just official bits of CGI photoshopped into various settings. Incredible.
