    Prime looks awesome. I hope they do an Omega and Trypticon

    They look pretty good - Prime's definitely better!

    The problem with Megatron these days is the designers don't seem to know what exactly his alt mode should be. Should he look like his traditional self (Prime is much easier, since he's a truck who turns into a bot who has 'truck' parts on him)? Or something entirely different? Or maybe... just keep him as a Cybertron vehicle? Too many conflicting options, that are generally rolled in to one, sadly, leaving an obscure and disappointing figure/alt mode for such an iconic and popular character! Megs suffers from not being allowed to be a gun, yet having a bot mode that looks like it could turn in to one (at least, from a cartoon POV)!

    There are so many homages to G1 gun Megs... colours, massive cannon, bucket head, etc... but none of them make sense unless he's turning in to a gun. Even a tank doesn't work... generally speaking, how many silver and black tanks are there on earth? I realise this is Cybertron, but it still seems like a pretty odd design, even for an alien craft!

    Poor Megatron!

    Prime does look awesome

    Megs on the other hand looks mistransformed. The right hand kinda reminds me of Beast Wars Megs

    My verdict on Prime

    Now that is how you make a Cybertron mode Prime

    As for Megatron, will have to wait what he looks like properly transformed in robot mode. But at least this version looks like it has a fully transformable mode compared to Titanium Megs.

    But dispite the Titanium Prime's and Megatron's flaws, I still like those figures. But these two in particular look promising, along with Bumblebee.

    I think there's even an argument that Megatron would have worked better using Prime's alt mode...his smokestacks could convert into a fusion cannon!

    I like both of these designs. Prime, as everyone has said, looks fantastic... Megs kind of reminds me of Cybertron Galvatron (bot mode only), which coincidently was one of my fav toys from that line.

    Loving the lack of a "cab" in these Alternate modes.

    Megatron is giving me an "animated" feel in his design, its a very meh alt mode, but a decent robot mode. Prime on the otherhand looks fantastic in both modes!
