Not saying that's a bad thing, if you want a nongestaltic alien-looking tank-moded Piranacon for your collection.

Can't blame Bay - he didn't write the script, he just runs around shouting "more explosions!"
The tank is either mistransformed or just wrong. The back and front treads don't line up like on the others. It's also missing mini rocket launchers or something from the back. And the robot mode - apart from the shell on his back and the lack of hands is not bad.

-SIGH-
You know, I understand that Transformers is nothing more than a marketing blitz for a better children's rubic's cube, but WTF?
Has Has/tak/tom given up on the audience that actually has an income it is willing to devote to a hobby?
Do i have to rely on that bad-ass HOS prime to get my fix?
Gee, thanks for the repaints from your craptacular unicron block for the 25th anniversary of the franchise...
To the readers, I'm sorry, I had to vent. It's not good to keep these things bottled up... and here, at least, 1 or 2 would agree.
[edit- the worse thing is, I'm more interested in the set that the pic's were taken against than the actual figure.]

A Megatron/Fallen combiner, now that seems a bit weird. Is there such a thing as having too many combiners mashing together in the next movie?

Just... breath.
It's all good. These movies will bring in new fans, who will buy more toys, which will prompt Hasbro/Takara/Tomy to produce MORE toys, and give them enogh cash to feel confident enough to produce something the Old Skool (G1, RID, BEASTWARS, UNICRON TRILAGY fans will dig. Just think of the money you're saving for the next series of CLASSICS, or try to get ewxited about the prospect of what we'll be getting next year. And every now and then Just... Breath.

The first movie's one looked nice and I really liked him more than the leader version. But once I touched it, it completely sucked.

It's a shame but very cost effective that the new legends figure is the best.

Then i realised what his colours were ,the same as the fallen.
So obviously this is something to do with megatron and the fallen .Maybe the fallen gives his powere to megatron or maybe i'm wrong and something else happens.
OR have they kept this quiet and they are introducing unicron which means he could reformat megatron.
Posted by BahnStormer on April 3rd, 2009 @ 8:22am CDT
I am sure we will get 3 repaints.
1) Messed up the the Abyss megatron with blue frost!
2) Reformatted by the all-spark fragment Megatron
3) Premium "we'll just re-paint it so these suckers can buy it" Megatron
My wallet cant wait!!!
Posted by typh0id on April 3rd, 2009 @ 8:25am CDT
I don't know what all the fuss over him being blue is though...I mean yeah, it's ugly but the FIRST Voyager Megatron was the same awful blue colour as well...I guess it's just a rule of thumb that the Voyager Megatrons caren't allowed to be a reasonable colour...

Indeed. If Prime and Jetfire combine, why WOULDN'T Megatron and the Fallen? You've got a good eye for detail Figured out something most people will argue about till after they see the movie.

love the colours too, its nice to see megs something other then silver all the time
looks like a tripelchanger too, unless i missed something and now tanks can fly
but by far my favourite part is the new HEAD, that is awesome

Very good point. I suppose we'll have to wait until the packaging comes out to see if he does or not. The interesting thing here would seem to be that, if they do combine that would indicate we are going to get a leader-class Fallen to combine with the Leader Megs...but i don't remember any mention on the packing of that or of them combining. It would make sense though, especially if Jetfire is indeed one of the ancients.

Treads in the CG are not lined up
Tank turret is flush with the "jet like" top plates of the tank.
Just thought I'd clear that up.

Why is it so hard for them to make a properly-colored Megatron?
Posted by Firebird on April 3rd, 2009 @ 1:18pm CDT
Better than the Leader class version at least.

One question, what are the different size scales in the TF toys fom smallest to largest? Isn't Leader class bigger than Voyager? I always get confused on this point...

-Small-
World Smallest Transformers (Japan only)
Micromaster (G1)
Minicon (AEC)
Legends Class
Scout (Basic) Class (~$6 US)
Deluxe Class (~$10 US)
Mega Class (~$15 US) (Not since Robots in Disguise)
Voyager Class (~$20 US)
Ultra Class (~$25-30 US)
Leader Class (~$40 US)
Supreme Class (~$50 US)
-Big-
Of course, you have to add a few dollars to those amounts owing to the February price hike (which I still haven't gotten used to) and to store exclusives, and there have obviously been toys bigger than Supreme Class. Disregarding G1's Fortress Maximus, there's Ultimate Bumblebee who is, what? $60? And a few Masterpiece figures have been released in the US around that price.
