It's Official - MP-36 is a new Megatron

[Magnus]

On one hand I'm not a huge fan of sound gimmicks as aside from adding to the overall cost of a toy it also adds an immovable block which can impede with a toy's design/engineering (as the toy is built around this sound block). But on the other hand, looking at photos of MP36 the engineering doesn't seem to have been adversely affected by this gimmick (so it appears to be rather unobtrusive). I suspect that it's been placed on a part of a toy that was always going to be a block, like maybe inside the scope/fusion cannon.

You were right; based on the translation posted earlier, the electronics are all in the cannon.

i'd be happy if they skipped sound gimmick for metallic silver paint. like mentioned earlier some of the more cartoon-accurate aesthetic is just too plain.

Is Megatron meant to be silver, grey, or white? I'm tempted to say light grey; then again, metallic colours don't have their metallic sheen in traditional cel-based animation, so he could have been intended to be silver.
