Megatron truly appears to be the star of the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline with a toy in nearly every class, and the vast majority of them being new molds with his new cybertronian jet mode. This is a stark contrast compared to the rest of the line where most other characters are keeping their previous forms making them have several recycled molds representing them. So, we thought of breaking down the different options you will have for Megatron in The Last Knight toyline along with a description and price point for each when available.
ONE STEP FIGURE
Note how the wings are not deployed in jet mode and his feet are not lowered in robot mode. Meaning that, as is often the case, there is more than just one step to o with this one step:
KNIGHT ARMOR TURBO CHANGER FIGURE
(Ages 6 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Spring 2017)
It turns out we saw this figure at toyfair from the very begining but since he didnt have his big mask gimmick on, it was not obvious.
LEGION CLASS FIGURE
(Ages 6 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $6.99/Available: Spring 2017)
DELUXE FIGURE
There is still very little info on this figure. The shared gimmick of decodable glyphs with the cross sell figures, package leaks, unaccounted for in any list of mainline products and not listed in the official deluxe assortment listing from hasbro leads us to believe that it is part of a store exclusive subline.
PREMIER EDITION VOYAGER CLASS FIGURE
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $29.99/Available: Spring 2017)
PREMIER EDITION LEADER CLASS FIGURE
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $49.99/Available: Fall 2017)

The leader is for fall only?
Well, make the voyager so much worth getting. Those sneaky basterds.
TBH, I'll get the voyager regardless for my Movie Megs voyager display. It's the perfect display for Movie Megatron because it's the only class where there is constantly a toy in each Movie lines. My display will be a modes Hasbro only display.
-- '07 "Ice" Megatron (Better than the leader IMO)
-- ROTF "Green Burger"
-- DOTM Survivor Megs
-- AoE Megatr...Galvatron
-- TLK "I'll tear your throat out in a single bite" Megs
What I like about the voyagers is that they are all great toys. Despite the often innacurate deco.

Hmmm. The more I look at the design the more I'm not so sure on it.
The jet mode is friggin' badass; that's not even up for debate. It's the robot mode I'm having trouble with, especially the bits of skirt armour in front. Kinda puts off the silhouette since they don't seem capable of moving.
... and it still to some extent seems a bit like Ultron-but-he-has-devil-horns.

His bison horns are more the Liege, but the arms and overall feel (not to mention name) makes him a better Megatronus. And he's going on my generations shelf instead of the movie shelf, so hmm

I'm buying Voyager cos size/cost and he looks pretty bloody awesome anyways.
Actually I'm gonna get the Legion one as well cos it looks actually really cool for the size. Can put that in my pocket and play with it during my scenes at rehearsals to keep me from getting bored. Had a RotF Optimus Prime fulfill same role. Same role as this tiny Megatron would as a plaything I mean, not MY role in the show.

Looking again at Leader Megatron, he's better than I thought. The hollow forearms are still kinda irksome but they aren't as bad as I'd thought. I'm not sure if I'll get that version or the Voyager, or if he'll represent The Fallen/Megatronus Prime or Liege Maximo.

I'd get the Voyager as a complement to previous Movie Voyagers - but the leader looks like it might be fun to play with - though the lower classes look like good fiddle-formers too.
I fish I had a better Idea of what that Dragon was like and what it does.

These images, featured on the sites pages in timed intervals, show characters Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Barricade, Sqweeks, Crosshairs, and Dragontron. Check out the various images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

It's in a bad pose and it's not the actual movie render which is more detailed but the cgi model has plenty of truck parts for example his chest is the truck doors.
Their a bit tougher to find but there is kibble there I've spent time looking at all the movie models both renders and actual blue ray paused scenes and I see a lot of things for example Jolt is actually in ROTF a little more like him in the background shooting with his electric hands no seriously that's a thing.

We were talking about Leader Megatron looking like Megatronus but I really think the ROTF one works best. I am pretty sure the Megatronus design is based on movie megatron from the first two films, no?

Okay, for some reason, I haven't gotten an email notification about this thread in days, so I just caught up reading about six pages' worth of posts.
I won't respond to every point people have raised, but will point out the following:
First, Nitro shares the same body-type as the KSI Boss from AOE, with a new head and some minor accessory changes:
I also recall hearing somewhere (I don't know where, though) that the figures with the "decodable glyphs" (i.e. - Nitro, Deluxe Megatron, Skullitron, etc.) are to be Toys'R'Us exclusives.
As for Skullitron's name sounding hokey, maybe Hasbro originally wanted it to be "Skeletron" but couldn't get that name, and so went for the next best thing that still evokes the connotation of a skeleton.

True, true...forgive me though, I am but a humble News Crew member and no where near as cool as the Forum guys.

Permission to be cheeky?
*doesn't wait*
If we look at the Japanese versions of the cartoons, the Car Robots original called him Gigatron and Devil Gigatron, not Galvatron. He gets brownie points for the permanent power-up though
No, the only other series to do that was Energon, or rather the Japanese Superlink. In Micron Legends, counterpart to Armada, both forms were called Megatron, but the new body in Superlink was given the name Galvatron, both standard and powered up. Funnily enough, he shared G1 Galvatron's fate in being reformatted back into a Megatron again in a later series

All the pics we've had of Barricade and I'm just now realizing the ring of guns around his left arm are all shotguns. 
Looking at Megatron and the position of his legs in jet mode on most figures I wonder if any of them can do a proper GERWALK mode? Probably not because of the arms, but it would be fun.
Then again, Whirl's GERWALK mode doesn't use his arms...
Hey, Hasbro, if you want to repaint another Generations figure for the movie, even as an exclusive, I'd love to own another Whirl in black!

I'm still just wondering how Galvatron became Megatron again, what happened to the gaping hole in his chest; and why he decided to go from a truck to a jet.
