An improvement on both still I think. I love how TT Anime Astrotrain looks (a big improvement over the Classics/G1 toy deco) and I really really love TT Megs. Out of the entire line, Megs is the best update w/o a doubt, but Astrotrain is a close second I think.

 

EDIT: Oh no, I wasn't ragging on you. I was simply saying that Astrotrain IMO is a vast improvement as well. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but I think we all agree that Megs is the most improved.

Honestly, I think Prime is the most improved... Classics Megatron's alt mode is a friggin Nerf gun, lest we forget... I think the colors fit.

They definitely do fit the nerf gun, but you know you love the G1 homage. The G1 colors work very very well with that mold, and this way I have the best of both worlds, a convincing Nerf gun Megs (actually in disguise) and a G1 homage Megs which is more in line w/ the principles of the Classics line. Win-win, which is how I can justify spending $45 on a figure I already have.

There's no doubt that the G1 colors are a better homage, but so far the Henkei Megs' color placement isn't really doing it for me. I thought the same with Henkei Prime (sorry, "CONVOY"... phaggs) until I realized that they were actually using mold lines as guiding lines for the silver paint apps. Which is cool to me. With Henkei Megs there just seems to be a certain randomness to the color layout.

 

Although (disclaimer) I only have about $5 worth of love for G1 Megatron anyway.

But, if you could buy the Classics mold redeco'd in a green and purple camo scheme...

Yep, the colors on Megatron sure don't make those wings go away.

I already kitbashed my megs anyway with colors I enjoy more than either version.

They are a little less noticable now though. The silver is a tad better I think, but yeah, the wings are still there unfortunately.

 

Madhammer, you are making me rethink Prime. The deco is so similar, but it is noticably improved, plus the chrome (which I personally love in the Henkei line). Dammit... maybe... Madhammer, you are an eeeeeevil man, making me think.

chrome >>>>>>> grey paint. JMO

I still like the Classics version much better, can't stand the tacky chrome and the red on Henkei Megatron, it looks KO-ish. Classics Megatron looks more like Galvatron with all the purple and the orange. I'm displaying it with G1 Gavl reissue, G2 Galv and Energon Galv and he looks right at home.

You know what does it for me? YELLOW.

 

Yellow on Prime should be used sparingly. The yellow crest on Classics Prime... the yellow on his arms... his golden spatula crotch... it's just too garish. The Henkei version is much more tastefully done IMO.

The wings give him kind of an evil cap kind of look. Besides, it's a very minor complaint (IMO) considering we got a Megatron who actually turns into a gun in a main line.

While I agree the Hasbro versions PWN the TT versions when it comes to every other Classic, I have to say, TT Megs >>>>>>> Hasbro Megs.

And I admit it, I actually like the gay-glow scheme* we got with Hasbro's version. The TT homage, however, is just to sweat.

 

I know the random chrome chest looks off, but compared to the overall figure, I'd say it's a minor issue.

I don't get your hate of red though. It was part of G1 Megatron's colour scheme, plus it's the colour used most often for the eyes of the Decepticons.
