Thanks all for your help. I am still not sure which way to go.

I can tell you for sure that megatron never looks like a sharkticon in any of the tv show. so that one's interesting looking but certainly not something you'd get for show accuracy.

There have now been several releases of the megatron voyager mold in japan that we will most likely never be seeing over here that have different variations of colour and chrome I have the darkness megatron (purchased second hand with some of the chrome chipped off) it's nice. downside of most of the japanese releases of this figure is the inclusion of an Arms Micron in the place of something that even remotely looks like a show accurate weapon.

if you can get a voyager Prid megs for $24, that's pretty good value.

I do like the more show like figures, but it is not the be all and end all. Especially when the Prid Megatron colouring etc is so bland. I know that he never looks like that in show, hence dilemma. But I like the nod to sharkticon. I love the flying shark of death mode but all that "skin" area in allspark blue is turning me off a little.
