SFC has just walked out of the Hasbro Panel at Day 3 of BotCon 2005. We have our first updates with news of an all new Transformers series to run between Cybertron and the Movie. This is major stuff! Think Alternators meets Cybertron. Read more here

Sounds like the modern version of G1 that the fanboys were trying to make the movie into.

sounds interesting, i hope there's a proto soon of that starscream he sounds great, it's just i've gotten so use to him having swords that the idea of guns sounds strange  :tftongue

That is possibly the coolest news so far. Gun Megatron... wow.

So essentially take this gun:

But a revolver bulge on it, and a short/fat scope on the top....add a big decepticon symbol on it(like on Shockblast), and you've got Megatron.

 

Edit: and I must say, they never had "Megatron" or actually said "This is Megatron, as a gun..." but Archer did say, "Yes, he's back..." when the slide was up. So take it as you will.

I'm wondering if he'll have a more G1 look to his head again. As opposed to the new "horns' that the past few Megatrons have had.

Seeing the way this line is headed, I would assume he's got the ol' bucket head. :clap

hmmm, once marketing ahve got hold of it, it will be much lamer, I blame them for anything bad ;)

i call bullBlot. more likely the next series will be just like the last few series: an american/japanese bastard child that is riddled with kiddie oriented gimmicks.

 

Edit: sorry if i came off as overtly cynical. don't get me wrong, i love C/GF, i'm just a bit shocked that Hasbro is actually willing to do this. although it would be a cool idea, i'm not getting my hopes up that Hasbro will go thru with it.

I do find it amusing that the first 2 figures they make concepts for are Megs and Starsccream...tells you something about the american fan base
