Some people argue this is a bad Megatron for its poor alt-modes. I can see their point but in-hand I don't quite agree. It still IS kind of the worse tank mode since CW, I don't like that triangular hollowness in the tank turret and its obvious "folded bot arms" look, but the tabbing is solid and that made it a fun tank to play with. I also like the jet's odd look that feels like it belong to the modern Diaclone universe, and it's a fan-mode dream. People have come up with the requisite Gun mode, alt-tank modes that's closer to the sleeker concept art look. It can also do a Gerwalk and I've come up with a Robocop's ED-209-like attack drone mode out of it. It's a legit Six-changer.
And this Megatron's hands... OMG I think that's the most articulated pair of hand for a mass retail figure. I always hated how Hasbro ignored the engineering of their figures' hands. They always looks bad & lazy unless a figure comes with 2 weapons accessories. An open 5mm hole for a hand is just ugly (one of the worse is SS86 Blurr/Kup mold due to the thinness of the fingers). I just wish Hasbro will do this for all Leader & higher class figures.
The price of a Titan/Commander/Leader here in Canada is such that I rarely do pre-orders anymore for these classes (unless they're Dinobots and this Megatron). It's such a big jump in price difference from a Voyager to Leader, and Leader to Commander. I feel in general Hasbro would put more effort into a Voyager than a Leader. Tarn & Jhiaxus got fingers and superb articulation while most Leader don't. Every Dinobots got a missing weapon. Why? How!?
Commanders are so much more expensive (without deep discounts like we saw from Skyfire, Skylinx to Rodimus, prices I haven't seen drop below $100CAD since) now but at least in-hand, I feel Hasbro designers have put near maximum effort into making the best version of the characters as possible (the lack of hand engineering is still a constant issue) and I'm happy I got every single one of them.
SS Leader Fallen is a joke. Next to no improvement on articulation and transformation from the old Voyager. Only good for its size. Not worth it at all.

I'll do the jet soon and after that, I'll improvise some fan modes.
Yeah, he's small, but he's meaty and I like it.
Worth the full price? I guess it is.

I called it a Six-changer Plus, the "Plus" being him having 2.5 tank variants.
So far, he's a:
Bot
Tanks (1. official, 2. Emiliano's concept (legs twisted sideways), 2.5 Emiliano's concept but the front of legs facing up so the treads are on the ground. I'm not spoiling the fun for you to experiment)
Jet
Gun
Gerwalk
MEG-209 Attack Mech (think Robocop's ED-209)... I like this mode the best.
Extra Bonus tank modes: Have the jet's cockpit half-folded out like Blitzwing. Another is have Megs' head pop out to pay homage to his ROTF Tank mode. Both are worth a chuckle.
As for the price, I look at it this way: he doesn't look out of place next to Yolopark's AMK or next to ThreeZero MDLX, in both looks & articulation. Dude's a gymnast! Only thing really missing is an ab crunch and cost less than half of an MDLX. He's solid. No hollowness. He's a steal looking at it from that perspective. Take half an hour to do a weathering and little detailing touch up and he'll look like a $100~$150 dollar 3P figure.
I hope his hands' articulation is the next standard for Leader & up, while Tarn/Jhiaxus for Voyager.

Seems it’s just hard to make a tank turn into a jet.
G1 Blitzwing is still surprisingly the best at it.

The unproduced Animated Megatron figure that everyone wants to see appear in Legacy or whatever replaces it and the design team didn't say no to.

You know, with a few minor tweaks, that could be a FOC/WFC type of Blitzwing.

In this case G1-ification would be an improvement. That old concept looks terrible in the 2 vehicle modes. The robot mode looks halfway decent.Sabrblade wrote:You guys do know that if they ever actually do do that Animated Marauder Megatron that it's just going to get G1-ified and won't actually look as good that old test shot, right?

I know G1 nostalgia is a powerful thing, but is this a widely held belief?
As someone who only got into Transformers around the Beast Wars era, I always thought G1 Blitzwing was pretty bad. The jet looked good from the top down but mass of junk under the wings was visible from any other angle (which IMO is the same for pretty much every jet mode we've seen in a jet-tank triple changer since) and the jet cockpit just brazenly sticking out in tank killed the whole look for that mode too. And of course the robot mode suffered heavily to accommodate the other two.
Totally subjective of course, I'm just curious as to which one is generally considered the best mass-produced attempt at a jet-tank transformer.

I agree. Having once had G1 Blitzwing in my collection, I was quite familiar with its strengths and weaknesses. The jet cockpit sticking out of the front of the tank is the most infamous. But for me, the weakest point was the jet tail fins serving as the robot's only 'feet'. They wouldn't hold in place, they were thin, loose and wobbly, and completely unsuitable for holding up and balancing the figure's weight. For all the flaws of the new Legacy version, they at least fixed that issue.
Though that only raises the question in my mind that many bring up when Legacy Blitzwing's flaws are challenged. When the issue of the jet cockpit at the front of the tank is raised, defenders often point to the G1 figure and say 'G1 accuracy' was paramount to the designers. But if that's the case, why didn't they also have the jet fins as his only feet for the same reasons? Why was the flaw of Blitzwing's dinky, dainty feet worth fixing for the Legacy version, but not the horrible jet cockpit sticking out from the front of the tank....?

I think you are mixing up toy and toon. G1 Blitzwing had actual feet in the cartoon along with the cockpit in tank mode, the cockpit's appearance in the toon tank mode is what gives it a pass for some. I would have been fine without it if it meant a better jet mode.

Widowmaker is from AOE Concept art (like BB Megatron), and was an initial concept for who would eventually become Stinger. Same alt mode, even! A very left field pick, but I'm down for it! She'll look really cool with Stinger and the other KSI bots.
We actually have a LOT of concept art for the character, but this is one of the main ones:

This is the kind of debate that I think people should have in front of the giant robot after it transforms while everyone else is screaming and running away.

Gamer Edition is continuing with the expected Starscream repaints and Ironhide. Studio Series 86 looks to be giving us the first four members of the Constructicons in a mix of Voyagers and Deluxes (the rest will surely be coming in 2026), and package refreshes of Grimlock, Perceptor and Jazz. We've also got a few listings for TF:One, Rise of the Beasts and another A Level Optimus Prime.
Full list can be seen below and be sure to discuss it in the Energon Pub forums!

Interesting. I watch the films, but dont know enough about the Behind the scenes to differentiate. I just figure they wanted to use the mold as many times as possible .
For instance, I have no idea if Novakane from Freezer was planned (like the above Scorponoks) or if Hasbro just wanted to recolor the tiny Terrorcon.

I'd wager more parts. Let's face it. Of all the Prime versions we've seen, that was the most organic and streamlined. I think having the extra parts may help with accuracy. I'm not expecting a Leader "sized" figure, just an accurate one.

I am hoping and expecting that he will be the same size in robot mode as the others but would have extra engineering to make the transformation work without a lot of kibble.

And Hatchet will return! Too bad we'll have to wait another year, but at least they're coming! It's also a weird coincidence that there was a seven year gap between Crankcase (in 2011) and Crowbar (in 2018), and now there will seemingly be another seven year gap until the last Dread, with Hatchet in 2025.

The MV 6 Bumblebee is curious, I suspect either it is a redo of the Beetle to be more accurate to the film, or a take on the Camaro design (since it has a distinct robot mode to the 07 version).

DEV for Devastation, as in the game. All cell-shaded and very G1 would be my bet.

If they're doing anything resembling scale then Hook will probably be a pretty long alt mode with proper crane arm and simply too much to fit in a Deluxe package. Long Haul will probably be pretty similar to the Titan version and be extra sturdy to support Devastator and maybe include his forearms and fists. I doubt we'll see full integration of parts this time aside from maybe Devy's head and crotch cover.

Definitely interested in seeing what he'll look like.
I completely missed that legs are also Voyager pricing but I can't believe the torso pieces could be anything bigger like leader class but with the recent triple change anything goes I guess

Assuming they really go for Scale with these Constructicons, I could see them being Deluxe sized, with some combiner kibble.
Maybe Hook will be a Leader or Commander Price Point and include the Head, Forearms, Waist & Thighs, and Chestplate. Sort of similar to how they handled Motormaster recently. If there is a solid piece made just for Devastator's waist and it doesn't need to worry about transforming to form it, Long Haul could just form the Stomach and be his smaller G1 Design and in scale with the others!.

Que at last! We can finally complete the DotM Autobot cast! (we just need Ironhide with new guns to be fully accurate)
Apelinq, thank goodness they are doing him too.
Hatchet finds retail! Thank you! Dreads can finally be complete!
Doublepunch will be nice, I will take repaints of the scorponoks for army building purposes.
AOE Prime will probably be a lot like Shockwave or DotM Megatron, pretty dense to give priority to engineering. Here is hoping they find a way to make that work, I have always loved Knight Prime!
