Clearer Official Image of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Class Megatron

Im sorry... the combo the Piranacon gun/sword and the sharkticon paint apps... pending the final product this will be an instant buy for me. No its not Megs but its so freakin cool

Yeah, that facttion emblem is not a Decepticon one nor a Predacon one. Perhaps this signals a fourth faction, or a Decepticon subfaction, or even a redesigned Decepticon emblem?

Well, here's what it is.

Nemesis Primal wrote:An early draft of the Predacon insignia. Could that be our mystery symbol? ...Interesting, but I think it might be a goof that crept through to the stock-photo phase. I expect it'll be replaced with a Decepticon insignia on the version that actually hits shelves. (Or if not shelves, at least online retailers.)

Anyway, it's new, different, and vibrant. I think I like it. And the fish gun/sword amuses me.

Whether or not it's meant to be anything else, who knows. Also though, it could just be a prototype. Lazerback also had this insignia in early pics of him.

Removed images for space, especially since info was off.

But here's the problem: it looks nothing like that emblem, except maybe the lower part.



Is it a prototype? Maybe, but something about this emblem just doesn't seem right.

Mindmaster beat me on correcting Megazarak.

Sorry.

Ah, I see. Didn't give these clearer pics a good look before posting that and just assumed that the previous general consensus was correct. That is quite interesting then. It doesn't seem to make much sense to introduce a new faction insignia so late in the line (unless this is another prototype design or something) but I guess anything is possible.

If I manage to get this guy, I'd rather just think of him as Beast Hunters Piranacon. Maybe even "Piranatron" would be more fitting!

As long as you pose him with the sword instead of going for the fusion cannon look, the figure works out just fine, in my opinion. The length of the post to make up for the new arm fins ruins that option for me.

This figure looked good in the first place and i can't wait to get it , i hope someone makes a new head for it so it can be a sharkticon it looks very cool for megatron but to me it looks like a total different monster.

Lovin the alt. mode, waaaay better than that lame ass cybertronian jet... the robot mode? Eh, the light blue is killin me

Still don't like it.

Not gonna buy it.

But that's less because of the design itself and more because I don't care for how bulky his chest is, nor do I like the fish flaps on his arms.

I'd get it. Its to absurd not to get.
Also, Dark Star Shark Saber.

I do love quirky molds, so I'll pick this up if I see it hanging around discount stores, but I don't love it enough to pay full retail.

its cool but it has no place in my collection.

Well, that Megs sure look great and I'll buy it full price when it will come out.

I just wish it would have been something completely different instead of just a remold/repaint. That's just a slight "change of clothes" that Megatron did. Optimus Prime knew how to change his form for real, and for the better.

I guess that's what one could really call a.....swordfish.



That was terrible, even for me. This does look pretty darned cool though, but I doubt I'll pick it up-I'm determined to not let myself get into the full size Prime/BH figs, sticking with cyberverse and holding out for generations...

Agreed. Where's the moderators? That should warrant at least a warning...

So, blueface Megatron...what color does he turn when you try to strangle him?

Purple.

I like it...I like it alot. (if you get the reference +2 forum points to you)


I dig the beast face on his chest and the giant teath on the front of the alt mode.

Well this is still hot garbage and another persons garbage is another's treasure. The only thing that could have saved this was a different head sculpt and a much better weapon than this crap.

Still he would go good with a few Botcon Sharkticons around him as they all hail to....Lord Megalodon...'nuff said!

"Mer-gatron is that you?"

That is seriously cool. Something tells me he'd make an excellent base for the leader of a set of custom Seacons.

Apparently he's been shopping at The Shark-er Image...

Man, so many repurposable options for this remold. Shokaract, Snaptrap, Turtler, Piranacon, King Poseidon, Rampage, Depth Charge, Sky-Byte, Halfshell, God Neptune, Gnaw, Skalor, Gulf, Coelagon...

He could be the next Classics Seeker mold.

If they decide to make that a reality, please to a better weapon.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned yet that his face isn't poking out anymore.
He's broken the trend of poking out faces for non Earth mode Megatrons that started with movie 1 Megs

*looks at the pic again*



Huzzah! The head has been covered!

But he still has half a Sharkticon head.

Manterax Prime wrote:But he still has half a Sharkticon head.

Big deal. It's a beast-like vehicle. It can have a beast-like head for aesthetic purposes.

Besides, who says that it actually "is" a head? It could instead just be the front of his ship mode designed to "look like" a head for, again, aesthetic purposes.

I meant it as in Megs took the upper half of a Sharkticon head and welded it to his upper torso/fore section.

Manterax Prime wrote:I meant it as in Megs took the upper half of a Sharkticon head and welded it to his upper torso/fore section.

And again, it's meant to just "look cool" and look "beastly". Nothing to fret over.

I'm not fretting over it.

Shame he looks more like Seawing than Nautilator, it would've fit the joke better.

EDIT: What's particularly amusing is the pure epic fanwankery this remold presents me with. To explain: in my collection/fanfic, the initial blue 2007 Bayformer Megs serves as Cryotek, mutated by near-fatal injury from Megs and millions of years soaking in angolmois/Nucleon (undecided yet) into a sparkeater (originally a sparkDRINKer, after the name to Cybertron Metroplex's weapon, but MTMTE compelled me to rename it), with PRID Megs representing him pre-mutation.

And now, we have a blue-faced, carnivorous version of the PRID mould.

It's...it's almost beautiful in its symmetry.

Very interesting indeed. Not as bland as the original version.

I like some of the ideas here to use this as a sort of Sharkticon commander. I like the head there but I would really like to see someone do a better resemblance to a Sharkticon head for this. I think I'd actually throw that into my Classics display with the Botcon Sharkticons.

I'll take it!

Also from the Transformers facebook page we have our biggest and clearest images yet of the upcoming Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Class Megatron. This version of Megatron is heavy retool of his existing Transformers Prime Robots in Disguise Voyager Class figure. Images mirrored below.

Oh lol! What kind of face is this?

It look like a modern take on Skybite and this bot is just standing there, wondering what's goin on!

Anyway, he look awesome enough to be a sure purchase. I wonder if a 3rd party company already have a few alternate heads in devlopment for that mold.

Yep, that badge is neither Predacon nor Decepticon.

And we're sure this is Megatron and not Sharkticon? That logo... Is just too odd. It is both Decepticon and Shark mixed into each other. Definitely something fishy (pun intended) going on.

Speaking of odd smells, that face makes me think he was in the furthest back seat of a car where there are no adjustable windows and someone just cut the cheese. I make that face every time.

If that doesn't get a repaint with a new head as Depth Charge I'll be incredibly surprised.

Even has his funky little fish gun to go along with it.

That's enough internet for me today.

Lol at the lady parts on top of the jet mode.

watch em repaint this into depth charge. cause that how hasbro likes to roll.... a repaint of a retool

Venoose1 wrote:Lol at the lady parts on top of the jet mode.

Oh dear....

The new 'Con symbol sucks. I get it's meant to be the basic symbol with some beastly mandibles, but it just looks like a 'Bot's punched it so hard it's cracked and dangling at the hinges.

Although I suppose it does match the new slack-jawed Megatron head. They really screwed up the Photoshopping on this one. The base figure is still pretty cool though.

griftimus prime wrote:watch em repaint this into depth charge. cause that how hasbro likes to roll.... a repaint of a retool

at least i would buy it if they did that.

OKay. So the first thing I think of for some reason is Skybite from RiD creating a haiku about this Megatron...

Purple, blue, and grey
With lady parts in jet mode
He is now a Smurf

THank you (bows)
