Dark of the Moon The Official Transformers 3 News And Speculation Thread

Kudos to the toy engineers who have to deal with the movie line. Megs looks pretty decent.

 

[Marvin]

If you think their current work is funky, you should take a look at their 90's work. At least people buy their crap now.

Surprised Megatron is being turned into a truck in this one, didnt think they would give him an earth mode, that toy looks very G1 but I have to say I liked Meg's look in ROTF and wish they would have kept that.

Interesting to see how this all pans out though, and curious to know why Meg's couldnt get his face fixed.

 

[Ipodman]

For continuity sake

 

[Dr Lee]

probably the same reason Hide has the damage around his right eye...but i don't know what it'll be...

 

[Spade]

When fans said Movie Megatron looked like he was hit by a truck, I don't think they were calling for him to merge with one.

That said, he looks much better than the last two attempts.

 

[SPIDER-MAN-ROX]

Megatron...

Phantom Of The Opera bot? Will Megatron be embarrassed by his scarred face in the movie & cover it up with a hood? As long as he isn't playing a pipe organ, but knowing Bay he would probably put a scene like that in the movie.

 

[Ipodman]

At least he is carrying a big gun on his right arm.... and thats all G1 fans are gonna get

Megatron...

t:

Besides from the scarf i like the alt- & robotmode!

 

[Compi716]

I heard pictures of the Megatron box art also leaked online today...anybody find/save them?

 

[Spade]

My super sleuthing knows no equal.

 

[Crockett]

Lame, Megs is a voyager, inot like I'm going to get it anyway but still lame that he's a voyager.

 

[PyroChamber]

I'm sure he'll have a Leader version also, he and Optimus always have a voyager and a leader.

 

[nogap87]

I'm sure there will be a leader version. I'm curious if his cape/tarp is hiding a bunch of kibble. He seems surprisingly slim given his alt mode.

Edit: What Pyro said.

 

[Spade]

I like the Voyagers a lot more than the Leaders. I haven't bought toys in a long while, so I got Leader Optimus when the second movie came out, but that turned out to be a waste of money. It's so unwieldy I can't transform him without frustrating myself for a half hour.

I hope they do Prestige versions down the line. Those usually turn out the best.

I got the ROTF LEader Prime also, I transformed it once and I never tried it again.

 

[Golgo-13]

I hope Meg's face isn't still damaged in DOTM, that would so lame. Prime's face was completely 'effed' up after both movies and that got repaired, so there's no reason Megatron's can't be.

 

[Avangarde]

My super sleuthing knows no equal.

I love it when the box art for all the toys starts leaking on the net, it's normally our only chance at finding out what the new characters are.

His face could probably be repaired but his scarred face just adds more character to his look or so the toy makers thought. Hopefully they don't have him wearing the tarp/hood over his head in movie because it would make him look ridiculous, while there at it they should give all the robots trench coats to wear around.

But it totally spoiled the Jetfire combination in the second movie...

 

[Mr. Earle]

@ Megatron:

WTF IS THIS ****? Seriously now, ROTF Megs was fantastic, why did they take a giant dump on him? You know what, **** Bay. That's it, me and him are done professionally.

 

[craigdbfan]

He looks like a freaking witch of sorts. A robotic ghoulish creature.

Hilarious but not Megatron.

 

[Jochimus]

The alt mode in and of itself doesn't bother me, but IMO it should have been reserved for a Decepticon other than Megatron. Having Megs turn into a truck is only about a step or two away from that Scourge/Nemesis Prime "give Optimus an identical evil twin" silliness I'd expect out of Hasbro whenever they want to pad out a toy line.

As for the "cloak"...it looks like he stepped out of a particularly uber-cheesy G1 cartoon episode; I can't see the actual screen depiction looking any less silly.

I'll stick with my ROTF Leader class figure, thank you very much.
