Bludgeon and Thunderwing are cool, and it's nice we've gotten few Shockwaves in recent years... however deluxe-class leaders always feel like partial fails to me, sadly.
As for Megatron... how burned out can you be? He looks totally different in 90% of the fictions anyway. :)

Yes, this... absolutely. So tired of bullshit Cybertron modes that don't look like anything.

Prime Megatron's Robot Mode is pretty sensational though, I find it has a lot of character. The head design screams Megatron to me. Just a shame the alt-mode is a bit too abstract.

WFC Megs is a great design, within the WFC pre-Earth context. I think the robot mode really evokes a nice fusion of essential Megatron traits. The alt-mode... well... I guess it's sort of a tank. Almost. Now make WFC Prime and Megatron VOYAGERS, and we'll be talking.
I'm not sure about Prime Megatron. I mean, the helmet is right. The manner fits. He's all steel grey, which is nice... but I think that's it. He's a bit too monsterface for me. I realize they're trying to create a co-mingling of traditional and Movie-style elements, but all those rounded forms and hook shaped motifs feel off to me.

I do think Starscream needs more respect. At least he usually gets a voyager figure every now and again (where's my Voyager Classics Seekers, dammit?).
