Except he looks nothing like the one in the cartoon.

In fact, I was going to suggest it was G1 Medix, but I don't see a mention of what universe he's supposed to be from.
Most G1 characters don't get universe labels in Legacy.

It's basically a new toy of BotCon 2016 Custom class Combiner Wars Medix, whose deco was based on Rescue Bots Medix's second pre-Academy toy pictured in the post above mine.

I think it's possible to have a fairly decent compromise between Inferno's beast mode and his traditional weapon storage.

And, it might be that TM2 Megatron's mouth has a black zig-zag painted over pre-molded "regular" teeth. Here's a faux "before/after" gif I quickly made to illustrate this idea.

Right. Like I said, G1, right?

Unless there's another G1 Medix that my intent could be mistaken for?

(I seriously don't know if there is.)

When is Dragon Megatron supposed to hit retail? I may have to paint over his teeth, if I can ever get my hands on him.

Hasbro UK continues to be weirdly terrible about what does and doesn’t come out over here.

EDIT: T,2 Megs is out at some Smyths stores here. I think.

Wow, I'm so glad I left the UK to live in Japan (partly for this very reason/situation). We get TFs much later than the US but it still seems that Hasblo UK is the same, sh*tty excuse for a company as ever...

Sorry to anyone who is a TF collector and has the misfortune of being stuck there...

Also, either the silver paint over the possibly molded teeth is too thick, or the details themselves aren't that well-defined, so painting over the black lines might not help? If anyone (especially someone who might be getting the upcoming upgrade kit with alternate faces) would like to remove the paint from the mouth/face and have a look below?

• Has bonus weapon
• Deco after animated appearence

From the wiki:
None of Black Lio Convoy's toys are accurate to Copy Convoy in the Beast Wars II cartoon. The character model for the show has a black mane with a gray body (albeit with gray mane parts on the robot mode arms), whereas the toys have these colors reversed. This color scheme would later be used for the separate character Dark Amber Leo Prime.

Nemesis looks really good, which is nice because otherwise that was pretty much a bust of a show. Beachcomber is fine but I literally do not think you can screw that up, and Devcon is surprisingly bad for such a simple toy - the proportions are really wonky. I do not care about Armada's awful designs.

Pretty nice reveals, overall.

I am happy with Devcon (never thought I'd see the day!). Beachcomber looks good but I still feel like we had a relatively recent modern update on him. Oh well.

I like how Armada Megs turned out so I will probably pick him up.

Nemesis was inevitable but looks to be shaping up pretty well. Again, I don't care at all about the character or robot mode, so that is completely lost on me. Kind of weird that she didn't (or doesn't appear to) come with some Deluxe-ish / small Voyager-ish figure like Mainframe with the Ark. I'll probably get it but it will remain in ship mode.

We knew SS86 Brawn was coming but it's too bad that there wasn't a prototype or something to show how the actual figure will look.

Overall, a pretty decent showing.
