At least unti Ultramagnus and Galvatron showed up, who's alt modes will obviously be a Playstation and an X-box.

You know, that actually kinda works.

If you follow the history of the console wars and the emergence of Sony and Microsoft - you can see that Nintendo trying to make a CD upgrade for the SNES with Sony helped to develop and even funded much of the tech that eventually became the Sony Playstation. A similar story can be seen from Sega's dealings with Microsoft in developing the Dreamcast (which ran Windows CE).

That's what makes the Nintendo vs Sega wars so epic. They both in an attempt to create their own 'Super weapon' to defeat the other ended up creating monsters neither could control that ended up taking one out completely and heavily damaging the other.

All this, but the Nintendo part at the end....

You cannot deny history. Sega lost, Nintendo won and Sonic now serves Nintendo

Sega lost, but not to Nintendo. They lost because of their own mess ups.

They messed up trying to get the upper hand on Nintendo

Just remember, much as we love Nintendo they are now slowly dying at the hands of Apple, Google in the handheld space and Microsoft and Sony in the console space. They might be reduced to 3rd party status like Sega in a couple of years.

All this has happened before. All this will happen again.

Yep, fully aware of that hence my 'They created their own monsters' comment.

The Megadrive is freaking awesome! I really hope they make a SNES Optimus! The great console Wars - Transformers style!

Mega Drive: "Prime! Your feeble Mode 7 Graphics will never be able to defeat the power of my Blast Processing! Maga Drive does what SNES Prime don't.

SNES Prime: "Rise FX chip! Light or darkest hour!"

Bought! But I want a SNES Prime because I was on the Nintendo side during the Nintendo/Sega wars and we won

Boooooo! - SNES?, who wanted a console named after a nasal/respiratory discharge?

I was a Megadrive fanboy in the day but have come to appreciate the rival, hell you had the better looking MKII actually , so when I awoke to my twitter feed going ballistic with Winter Wonderfest reveals and "Megadrive Megatron" appeared? - I very nearly flipped my s***!

This is such a Japanese thing to do and I love them for it, I just hope that we get a Megadrive II Galvatron!


...oh, that Unicron head & A3 look pretty badass also.

Another Japanese convention had the Megadrive Megatron prototype on display, so nothing new, but maybe some new angles.

A shame they went with "Megatron" because of Megadrive... as the robot mode has the cartridge slot in the chest, which would make more sense (to Fans) to be done as Soundwave.
I guess if a redeco comes along, you'd think Soundwave should be it.

10,000Y(!) in September. Guess some licensing costs or just plain old greediness are responsible for that!
