I would absolutely buy the original Breakaway mold, I missed him the first time - and I do like these colors better than the brown; unfortunately, this one has the same head all the repaints have had, so it's a maybe.

Chromia is UGH, Air Raid is cool, but he probably isn't in the movie, so...

To each his own.
You can still find Breakaway on eBay for a reasonable price; even the (much preferable, IMO) darker variant.

Remember, they'll be in US packaging if I'm not mistaking. Hasbro's the real culprit here as all TakaraTomy does for their main movie lines is import.

Will they? The text by both of these figures says "TakaraTomy Original".
I'll grant that may not actually be meaningful; but I was taking it at face value.

That image really works for Megatron's character. If they completely re-create him, I would want him to be a rouge 'con, fighting on his own now that Shockwave is in charge, and a mysterious- yet very dangerous foe for the Autobots to fight against.
