He's looking a little blue in the face there. :lol:

I like it, but not enough for me to buy and replace my current Prime Megatron like I did ROTF Optimus.

Hey, is that the Predacon symbol I see on the right side of the vehicle? :shock:

Yeah, I like it. Is that a new decepticon symbol in it´s right wing? It looks different.

Doesn't look like it. The top is too narrow for it to be from what I can see. It's definitely -something- different though.

So, sculpted like Depth Charge, colored like Dinobot?

I honestly think the cool colors of the test shots suited the mold better, but this is a much more interesting deco than I was expecting.

Not bad. The gun/sword accessory looks pretty good, and the overall color scheme seems to work for Megs.

Re: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Megatron Final Colours (1481960)
Posted by CaptainMagic on April 25th, 2013 @ 2:16pm CDT

That's just so...HIDEOUS. I'm a little bit in love. Those colors bring so much out of this mold that really makes him look like the perfect sort villain to take on the all-new, all-heroic Optimus. It's a shame I won't be buying it, because it really pushes all the right buttons for me.

An early draft of the Predacon insignia. Could that be our mystery symbol? ...Interesting, but I think it might be a goof that crept through to the stock-photo phase. I expect it'll be replaced with a Decepticon insignia on the version that actually hits shelves. (Or if not shelves, at least online retailers.)

Anyway, it's new, different, and vibrant. I think I like it. And the fish gun/sword amuses me.

1. How are those Dinobot's colors Bumblevivisector? And don't tell me it's the blue face.

2. That's most likely not the prototype pred logo.

if you count the Arms Micron releases, Megs is up there with Bee this series in terms of reuses. Except, I like them. The retooling is great here, and the colours are really nice and Sharkticon-esque. Don't think I'll pre-order but if it is on shelves in front of me I can see myself giving in to temptation. The weapon is awesome.

I don't know about that, the figure is clearly moulded and painted to homage the G1 sharkticons

Plus im not sure where the "dinobot" coloring comes from, seeing as this figure is gray, blue, purple and green, and dinobot was various browns, blue and white for the bone details

I love absolutely all of this. Except the face....

I'm happy with it though! The Voyagers and Wheeljack are really hitting the spot for me.

He looks a bit short, like his lower half isn't folded all the way down. It would've been nice if they just made a bigger mold, like the way they used the plastic to make Prime's BH form. I doubt we're going to see all the additions of BH line in the show, due to the minimal amount of episodes remaining.

Re: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Megatron Final Colours (1482069)

I cannot help but think of Beast Wars Dinobot when I see that blue face.

Really liking this guy! I definitely wouldn't be opposed to him keeping his Predacon logo (actual one or the prototype one he's currently wearing).

Who says it won't be?

He was asking if one could take the current Voyager Megatron and try it with that.

I know, but just throwing out there the possibility that he may be canceled, similarly to Generation 2 figures.

Why would he be canceled so early in the game? It's not like he one of those final wave figures that barely make it to markets.

And, Generation 2 had toys. Lots of them. Three-to-four years' worth.

You can't logically compare two UTTERLY different things like that, my friend.

Probably should have been more specific about that. I meant figures such as the Protectobots and {most} of the Stunticons.

His point still stands, I think. G2 had YEARS worth of toys, and BH Megatron isn't going to be some late-wave rarity.

I can seem the sharkticon but I think he has a stronger resemblance to skalor of the seaicans. I doubt that is what they were going for though.

He was still Wheelie's amnesiac pet dog in the Dreamwave comics :lol:

Out of all the Sharkticons in fiction, Gnaw is the sole individual, and was sold as such believe it or not.

However, Sharkticon Megatron is logically the last voyager of Beast Hunters, as he's the 6th announced of the 6 voyagers to be announced. Unless they pull a surprise toy on us, I think Mindmaster's worry (or a more logical worry if not) is that he shares Skyquake's scarcity, who was also the last voyager of a Prime subline.

RAcast wrote:You're comparing Beast Hunters to G2? You can't logically compare two UTTERLY different things like that, my friend.

Longevity aside, Beast Hunters & G2 both took existing molds and characters from their preceding lines and gave them tweaked decos with new accessories or new molds entirely along with a handful of new characters/toys. While for G2 it was most common in the beginning of the line whereas for Beast Hunters it is the entirety of the line, you can still make the connection.

Okay, I figured out what I love so much about this figure paired with the new Optimus. It's what it says about Megs's whole philosophy.
See, it's like Optimus wanted more power so he went to the gym and bulked up and built a jetpack to punch Megs straight out of the sky.
Megatron's response is to seek out the Sharkticons, who he's heard are unstoppable killing machines. However, unlike previous Megatrons, who would have just captured a few and sent them after Prime, this one killed one, hollowed out its insides and made himself a big, sharky suit of armor because that's what you do when you're evil. Heck, he probably made that gun out of a baby Sharkticon just to really make Prime mad.

Yeah, that facttion emblem is not a Decepticon one nor a Predacon one. Perhaps this signals a fourth faction, or a Decepticon subfaction, or even a redesigned Decepticon emblem?

Whether or not it's meant to be anything else, who knows. Also though, it could just be a prototype. Lazerback also had this insignia in early pics of him.

Removed images for space, especially since info was off.
