ROTF: Leader Class Megatron Revealed!

This thing is awesome.

it is awesome but im worried about the designers obsession for robots with one normal arm and one and one tiny one

The original Megatron pales in comparison, dare I say it.

Im still not sure about the alt mode. It seems very out of proportion to itself. Might partly be the angle of the photo too.

Give me this guy in "Premium" with the metallic colors, and I'm sold.

Why has Arlin covered the head of the toy in all pics but not the one on the front of the box? It even states Megatron many times. Why go to the trouble of putting the watermark right over the head? Oh, this also destroys the Galvatron rumor that has been going round too.

I was wondering about that too.

Yea that almost kind of sucks cause it would make sense since he was "killed" in the first movie that if he came back, he might not be completely the same. There still seems to be a lot of name issues though, I dont see how they can call the Audi Sideways when it has WAY too much similarity in design as Barricade. There has to be some story plot that has to go with that. Calling Megatron Galvatron wouldn't be a far stretch though [maybe to non-fans though]

It's a good idea for a toy. Lets hope he gets a little more air time this time around.

HOLY SHIT........... i really am speechless with megatron coming bak... THat....... I HAVE TO WATCH IT IN IMAX

Wow that is awesome, I still prefer Prime but damn thats a nice toy.

Can anyone read the bio?.

That thing is just epic. I still got to pick up Premium Megatron from last year but I don't think I will now.....maybe. I hope Jetfire looks half as good as Prime and Megatron

It looks really nice and solid, it's just that right arm that bugs me because it looks so gimped.

Despite how much I like how this looks however, I sadly won't be buying it.

So instead of giving us a blurry picture they put their site logo over his head?

Is that an improvement?

Heres what I can read about the bio of the box:

Hes cannibalized from other decepticons, he has some power from the allspark, ya'know, in his chest? It allso reads that he now has the power to destroy optimus prime and begin the conquest of the universe.

Is this the last march of Optimus Prime? I certainly hope not.

They did good on the wheel/leg things. Wonder why the head was bloched out though. Could be a spoiler perhaps?

Only time will tell my fellow Seibertronians.

I know this may not be strictly related or even the reply you were expecting for such a topic, but...Am I the only one getting a weird sense of deja vu from Megatron's new alt-mode? Hmmmm....You know what it looks like? The Rhino tank from Grand Theft Auto Vice City! Okay, so it's not big, green and it doesn't have wheels, but the body shape's very much similar, at least to me...

I probably won't be getting the leader class version, I've only got a few movie figures and to be honest, I'd rather collect Universe (except maybe movie sideswipe)...If I see the legends version of this, I'll definitely get it though...would be fun to have it crushing Micro Machines on my desk like a GTA rampage.

rebuilt with parts cannabalized from other decepticons. megatron rises once again to lead his army. though the allspark destroyed him once, he can now feel it's power coursing through his circuitry. it calls him to seize his rightful place as ruler over the puny planet on which he was imprisoned and destroyed, and from which he will launch his conquest of the universe. optimus prime is all that stands between him and victory, and the autobot leader has done a poor job of hiding himself. at long last, megatron knows exactly where his enemy is, and he has power enough to destroy him.

sorry i'm so slow i just got up.

Actually if you bulked up his arms, attach a BFG to his right arm, you would get the very awesome Megatron concept from Transtech!

OK so would have to do a lot more then just that.

That knocks the first movie Megatron into a cocked hat (whatever that is). Very tempted to buy this.

The whole wheel feet concept is getting a bit tiresome though.

I don't think I like it. The gangly left arm is too weird for me. I can't the character seriously. Plus the tank mode looks like he just balls up.

If I like the head/face design, then this is one of four ROTF figs. that I'll most likely pick up...
From the package photo, I'm not really a fan of the alt mode,
but the bot mode looks more than good enough so far.

That right arm reminds me of something.

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.

Damnit I was going to pass on Leader Prime...But now I'll have to get him because I'm DEFINATELY getting this guy!

i dont see what the problem is with that dumb watermark on his face yeah it bugs me and it makes no sense but if want to see his face loko at the concept art unless they kept his face the same which is the only thing i can come up with or his face is differnt from the concept art that we saw in the first place.

i like him arm is werid better than the first one he looks smalle from his first counterpart leaderclass image maybe its the image.

FINALLY I can say it

ALL HAIL MEGATRON!!

felt good to get that out of my system

I think actually the Autobots retrieved Jazz's torn body parts at the end of the movie remember? I remember Ratchet holding his body and telling Prime that it is not reparable.

gingermoney wrote:it is awesome but im worried about the designers obsession for robots with one normal arm and one and one tiny one

Those designers have to go. That really gets on my nerves too.

looks alright the regular arm is kinda dinky lookin but I'll prolly pick him up. He looks way better than the first release. I guess he really is in rotf afterall.

the Bio reminds me of when Megs was stuck in Unicron in the Energon show

They just can't get Megatron right. Both in this movie and the last, his alt modes were athletic and muscular. Both toys look dumpy.

And I really liked the new tank design too.

He looks AWESOME! This time we don't have to worry about crap colors like on the first leader megatron. This one already looks premium-worthy, but a metallic finish would be the best ever.

Everything about this figure looks amazing to me, except for the crippled lookin' left arm...

I think Megatron should be happy to have been destroyed, he looks better now . I agree with those that said that it would look even better on a metallic finish.

Maybe on his comeback his voice is altered and more metallic and angrier, you know? I wish it would be Frank Welker doing his original voice this time, he is mighty Megatron.

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.

Yes! At least we get some details!

Actually, I thought it was more like Galvatron's alt mode...

They've mis-transformed his feet on the box art. If you look at the pics on the forum there's pic of his actual FOOT. I'm much happier about that. I'm not happy that he only has one articulated finger though... I hope his head can turn.

Niiiice... looks pretty dangerous lol..

I only hope Megatron has stable feet, a turning head and decent joints/poseability..

Cant wait to see more of this guy out of the box

I wonder if the LEDs in his chest and head are gunna be red though?...

100x better than the first movie. Great alt mode. Will pick up this, Sideswipe, Skywarp and Ramjet so far.

Looks like I'll personally be providing the bailout to Hasbro this year...

That right arm reminds me of something. lol failbots

Finally, a proper cannon for Megatron, none of this stupid combining arms crap. I don't feel so bad about not having gotten the first movie's version now. Not that I felt bad before because I really didn't like that one's design.

I don't understand how people seem to like this. I can't believe how bad the tank mode is. The legends version might even have a better looking tank.

Compared to the awesome job they did on Optimus, it's like they didn't even try.

lol, I was about to post the same thing, "Grab my strong hand". I appreciate that someone has the same dumb humor as me.

This figure is significantly better than the last Megatron. It's got a proper fusion cannon and looks a lot bulkier. I don't understand the fuss about the small arm. He's still not completely repaired, but obviously doesn't want to wait around to get a bigger arm, because he doesn't need it.

The autobts are going down the fallen,Megatron returning,and devasator that just adds to the problem.I think times on the decepticons side now.

Cooming soon from some secondary manufacturer company...ROTF Megatron: Arm Bulk.

LOVE IT! INSTANT BUY!

I was really hoping they would nail the Leader-class Megatron mold, and make something really wicked looking - this certainly does not disappoint! Shame I can't see the head sculpt though... if they ruin that, it could easily ruin an otherwise brilliant looking figure.

Bumblethumper wrote: The legends version might even have a better looking tank.

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.
