Botcon Megatron ?

Not bad, but the design works better for Galvatron. Glad to see they at least do some slight modifications to the mold to make it more unique.

[Agent Zero]

Eh, not bad but not great.

 

I agree with Hobbes, the Cybertron Defence Scattorshot mold with a Megatron head would have been a better choice.

 

I'm a little disappointed that they went with a colour scheme so close to G1 Megatron's though. A G2 purple and camo scheme wouldn't have worked, he would have been too close to Shattered Glass Prime colour-wise. A red, blue, and silver G1 OP inspired colour scheme, however, would have done wonders.

 

Finally, I agree with everyone else. The Energon Megs mold says "Galvatron" to me. It just looks odd with a Megatron head.

So... lemme get this straight. Mirror universe Megatron is Galvatron... in Megatron colors.

 

... yeah, lame.

Good vs Evil switcheroos really don't do justice for Transformers. I mean really, even the Decepticon name is evil. Just look at it!

It's figures like these that make me think that the organizers of the BC exclusives need to have a fan poll with some of their top ideas. I'd much rather vote on something rather than being surprised with "meh" figures. I don't think it would be too hard to come up with three or four ideas for the next year's exclusives, then post the poll on the site and/or have the poll at botcon. And to keep things interesting and a secret they could hold on to the results until time to reveal them for their respective year. I know this is off topic, but it's something that's been rambling around in my head for a while.

 

Anyways, back on topic, I think this Megatron is okay. To me he could pass as good or evil considering he has most of his original "Megatron" paint apps. I do like that Hasbro is re-using this mold though. I wonder if this was something that was kicked around originally for Universe/Classics 2.0?

I got the Cybertron Galvatron vibes.

I like his head sculpt. It gives me the G1 Marvel Comic vibe.

[Haggisjin]

I don't know whether it's :awsum or :fail

 

 

Must see more pictures.

[count-zackula]

I dunno, I think he'e lookin' pretty nice...figuratively and literally (for the most part). True, doing "good" Decepticons isn't as effective as evil versions of Autobots, but still a decent result. I can totally picture Frank Welker talking for him in a good-guy voice.

[DarkNarcoleptic]

I like it.

 

I wouldn't buy it.
