For me, I guess I am burned out on Megatron and if I am looking for a good ol EVIL character, I get it more out of a Fallen release, or Bludgeon, or Thunderwing, or hell Unicron.

Imo, Leader Animated Megatron is the coolest recent version of the character. It looks like something.

Energon Megatron is pretty cool all around, but doesn't feel like Megatron. Armada, Cybertron, RID, are all cool designs but also don't really declare "Megatron" to me (Armada comes close).
What about WFC Megatron?

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.

Why waste time with Megatron when you have Starscream?

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.

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?).

Are you trying to make us all poor man?? You can never just have ONE seeker. I can't take another 7 in different size classes released a little here and there all over the world lol

You're KILLING me SMOG!

I like Prime Megatron. He is a healthy mix of Megatron and the Sleepy Hollow version of Christopher Walken. And let's be honest, there is no such thing as a bad Christopher Walken reference.

Ahhh customs. I need to send things to my friend in maryland (huge box of stuff. tons of candies and toys) and i wonder if i can label it as a gift and try not to get nailed by the border.

also im dissapointed in the US's BS law about Kinder Surprises because they'res a toy inside and American kids are dumbasses and think that the little plastic egg inside is not candy and choke.
