Um...no...

It definately doesn't...

Dear god what is that? Think ill wait till its $17 on clearance like i did with the last one. Thank you walmart. Also why is the head censored? The pic from the movie is right there. Kinda redundant dont ya think?

Poor Brawl - Megatron obviously ripped the treads from his carcass... but which parts are from Blackout I wonder?

Going against the crowd here - I like the asymmetrical form. Megatron was originally asymmetrical (with his gun barrel on his back to one side) and I am a huge fan of Beast Wars, where symmetry is the exception.

Really adds to the zombie factor.

Someone posted this on TFW. It demonstrates the problems I have with Leader Megatron's tank mode.

Just look how much lower and sleeker the concept is. How much bigger the tank treads are.

Here's the legends version. I assume the turret is the wrong way around and can rotate, and if it does, I think I like it better.

The head is blacked out so they can sell this to someone so that they can be the first to do a full reveal of the figure. I don't understand the glory in buying a stolen item for 10 times what it will sell in retail so that you can be the first to do a review of it.

Exactly what I was thinking

I have noticed the same, the left arm is realy similar to Leader Class Brawl's hand:



I am sure that Brawl's and Blackout's bodies were on the ship. Were there any others?

If I remember correctly, Frank Welker is voicing in this movie this time around and when i heard that and the fact that Megatron might comeback i immediatly thought Frank would do Meg's damaged voice. It makes sense..

I really hope it will be him! I really want to hear Frank Welker in the movie. Even if it wasn't Megatron or Soundwave but another character, he is really excelent and I want to hear him doing some character! But of course, especially Megatron and Soundwave . His absence was my big disapointment on the 1st movie... I'm not saying I didn't like the movie or Hugo's performance though, I liked, but was disapointed that it wasn't our dear Frank Welker, the mighty Megatron, Soundwave, Skywarp, Rumble, etc.

more than likely,he'll probably do wheelie

so that why his left arm is giving off a frenzy vibe, and if he is made up of the fallen cons there could be a bit of Jazz in there too.

Yeah, Jazz HANDS!!

I don't have anything nice to say, so I won't say anything nice at all.

I think it's ugly; I think it's a middle-step figure (we'll see a fully restored Megatron later), the story is weak (if armor piercing rounds can damage Transformers, then 'the Trench' should have crushed him to a shoebox), and for all their talk of 'Brand Recognition', Transformers sure is showing off some desgin concepts that are 'out-there'.

I'll be passing on this, because beyond the newness and "imrovements" over the last version, I can already see that if I were to buy this toy, it would eventually surrender its shelf space to a future superior Leader Class figure.

Nice...Ill be getting this one mane !!! Not exactaly sure if im feeling him as a tank. I gotta question why they didnt leave Megatron dead and bring this guy out as Galvatron. But ill wait for the storyline before I make futher judgements.

P.S. to the dude who covered up the face, no disrespect, but that move was kinda corny. These are Transformers toys, not top secret classified Roswell images.

He looks sweet, gonna buy him for sure.

I hope that all of these talking Leader figures have the voices from the apporpriate actors and not some Hasbro employee pretending to be them. That really doesn't work and makes the feature pure and utter crap.

looks pretty good, for a movie toy

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! I absolutely have to get him! I don't really like the vehicle mode though.

It seems to me that this design was influenced by the Transtech Megatron design a bit. As well a a bit of the Armada version. And yeah..that arm does look weak. I might get it..might not. Hell..I got the LEader class Megs from the first movie at a yardsale for 5 bucks. Still complete no less.

This.... is.. godly. The Leader Class for the first movie was fantastic, hopefully it reciprocated in the second movie figures.

Holy cow... that looks cool.
finally we're getting to see his face, now give us more pics.
all hail megatron.

^ Yeah, the head disappointed me a little. And he looks stout as well, don't know about articulation. Is that cannon arm one huge piece?

Mykltron wrote: Actually, I thought it looked more like Galvatron's alt mode

Hmm, you may be right there, at least with how the turret's positioned, having taken another look at the rhino...But it's still very big and boxy, at least the leader version seems to. The legends version does look like a futuristic Merkava, and since I love that tank, woohoo!

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I kinda...skipped over this thread a few times, hehehe.

not sure this has been said but there is a video review of him on youtube by mike.

Are you sure it's not the FAB Megatron?
