    Prime does look nicer... but the colours look doctored to me... here's hoping Hasbro doesn't cheap out with any of the paints (like their notorious flat grey).

    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!
    They should go galvatron route and make him an artillery piece.

    But I'd actually like to see megatron not transform. Yea, hear me out, I'd like to see a totally bad-arse megatron that for-goes his ability to transform by being an armoured, armed to the teeth kill-bot. He has so many modifications that he just can't transform anymore. Give him a jetpack too.

    NEVER! It sounds like someone trying to rationalise Action Masters!

    That prime is great. probably the most excited ive been for a TF since city commander. I suppose its way to early to estimate when these will hit shelves/ probably a bit after the game release. I'd love an ultra mags repaint =P

    Prime looks ok, Megatron looks about what I excpected after seeing the game art. Still they look ok for deluxes, any bigger though and I think they would be a definite pass.
