    Slightly more clearer front.
    I'm disappointed, only because he doesn't look like this in the show. Where is space-pixie Dreadwing's animation model? Missed opportunity there.

    Hmm... no. I'll be quite happy for this one to remain MISB.

    I'm having trouble trying to work out what Tartarex is meant to mean.
    The only thing to come up on a google search for that exact word is the name of a Swedish song from about 50 years ago... which I doubt is the reason behind someone at Hasbro choosing this name.

    So, perhaps it is a derivative of Tartarus from Greek mythology, which is like hell or the underworld. It's a bit of a stretch, but it could be a "weapon from hell" a bit like how the various other artefacts and weapons on the cartoon are "from the gods".

    Rex is Latin for King, and Tarta means pie or tart... so KING OF TARTS!

    A photo gallery has been posted up, showing off the toy in both modes and its bio/story.

    The story chapter calls it "Sharkticon Megatron" but is just Megatron on the box. And the weapon is called a "Sharktooth Spear" on the bio, but a "Tartarex Sword" on the box. Either some late changes, or two divisions of Hasbro aren't communicating with each other.
    (It also mentions that the Bumblebee redeco is called "Night Shadow Bumblebee")

    So much remoulding on this figure. It even has a cover for the head in jet mode now.

    The shark motif kinda looks dorky, but at least now the jet mode front has a purpose.
    I'm one who likes the colours too. Not because it is supposed to be like Gen1 Gnaw/Sharkticon (which is actually more light-grey and purple than this), but because it reminds me more of the entire 1988 Decepticon theme, in which almost every toy had either grey, purple or blue on it.

    Big and dumb-looking. Great for a Sharkticon.
