BotShots Dragon Track 2-pack Set

[griffin]

A new BotShots item has surfaced (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/bot-shots-dragon-track-set-image/26499/), which means the second series isn't too far away.
The new series of BotShots have an added gimmick that affects the way the figure "attacks", and this 2-pack of Optimus Vs Megatron have limbs on them to do just that.
This 2-pack also comes with a pair of launchers, similar to the ones released in the first series... but don't transform into trailers.

The packaging artwork suggests that the next BotShots series will be piggy-backing on the Beast Hunters (mainline) series... but the packaging doesn't have the words though, so could just be a coincidence that this 2-pack is Dragon themed.

This 2-pack is listed as being released at the end of this month.

So botshots are trying to muscle in on bakugan/bye blade territory?

Makes theses second waves. Massive pass, especially at the prices they have been trying to flog them off for.

Has it been confirmed that the purple figure is actually Megatron? It looks like it's still unconfirmed at this point.

Maybe it's Galvatron...

The colouring may suggest Galvatron, but if this is taking cues from TFPrime (Beast Hunters), that Megatron is grey and purple (more purple on the cartoon than on the toy).
The alt-mode doesn't help, nor does the yellow colouring.
Since the classic pairing of Optimus is with Megatron, and there is no current fiction featuring a Galvatron, it would be unlikely for Hasbro to use that character for a toy. Not impossible, but unlikely, considering their preference at releasing toys of marketable characters like Optimus, Bumblebee and Megatron.

I agree that it's highly unlikely it's Galvatron. I wasn't being too serious when I suggested it, but I do find it a bit odd that Megatron is so... purple.

I still want a Galvatron. I wouldn't mind seeing Galvatron as a regular single pack botshot figure. I think he would look quite good. :)
Though I think it's Megs (unfortunately:p), as we Prime is mostly with Megatron, as Griffin pointed out. I'm gonna skip this.
Beyblade is actually pretty good, but isn't exactly in its prime anymore. (no pun intended)
I actually found it good until Beywheelz and metal fury just looks like more of the same. I left beyblade after an obsession.

That better be Cybertron Megatron.
