The lack of paint on the treads really detracts from Megatron's tank mode. The lack of contrast makes it look like a solid brick of silver/gray.
Been charged for the Legacy Wave 2 preorders that I placed on Hasbro Pulse. Hopefully, the BBTS preorders will follow soon.
My local TRU, which never has anything and is seemingly used as a dump for overstock from other TRUs... had origins wheeljack in. Pricy, but acquired.
Right after Buzzsaw.
I hope that Soundwave multipack pans out. But more than that I hope we also get his latter cassettes (not likely in this supposed set which is apparently SS86). Overkill maybe even as a pretool for Dairu, and Slugfest as a pretool for Zaur/u. Core class should allow a little bit of room for the extra engineering, idk.
Hell, just give me a big pack of minicassette bots and cons already...

He has to come with a Cyberverse universe Soundblaster retooled from Blaster. sounds naff until it doesn't.
What I'm interested in. A chance to fill out some of my Thirteen, some RiD 2001 and Armada love, some TFOne stuff that I'm super curious about, and 86 Megatron because that's just...curious....
Yeah, SS86 Megatron is definitely the most "just curious to see what they do here" upcoming figure. I'm guessing it's just going to be the most cartoon-accurate robot mode they can do that transforms into a tank that looks like it's made out of gun parts.
I'm just hoping they get the head right. They seem to bat around .500 on Megatron faces. Siege looks great, but Earthrise looks a little goofy.
Yeah, I honestly never cared much for either Siege or Earthrise Megs. I will concede though that Siege is the better head sculpt, IMO. I just want something that is at least on par with what Earthrise Prime did. I honestly don't care much about Megs' alt mode; just give me a super-convincing G1 robot mode that is as proportionally well-done as Prime, and I'm good.
It's time for a curiously shaped submarine with seductive thighs.
Hoping there's a good blast effect-compatible gun-mode Megs accessory to really complete those Shuttle Massacre dioramas.
Yeah, that would 100% be my preference. It seems like an obvious solution that has somehow never been attempted. And being a new, never-before-used alt mode for Megatron, it would be a pretty interesting new development that may spur some people to buy that otherwise might be fine with the Megatrons they already have in their collections.
I like the idea because if they engineer it right, there might be a built-in undocumented way to fanmode up a pistol. The main barrel and body of the Howitzer can be evocative of the Walther body shape, the robot legs can split up into the struts (and fold back up into the grip), have some wheels or treads for howitzer mode that tuck away.
There's still a fair bit they can do with the robot mode to get less Stege and more G1, from proportions to little bits like the gunbarrel pipe on the back. Wouldn't mind two heads (or one with two faceplate panels) as well with different expressions. And if anyone should come with blast effects...

Seeing as how they were able to make a Browning accessory for the new Squeezeplay toy, they ought to be able to do the same for Megatron.
There's already been the one that came with the Centurion pack and the one that was part of Core Class Megs. They could use either of those.
If they insist on sticking with tanks, I'd like to see them return to the old Quake transformation instead of dumping half the tank on Megatron's back.
The problem typically is they want him to look like cartoon Megatron and that requires finding places for tank kibble so his legs and chest look sufficiently G1.
I really feel like some characters, such as Megatron and Arcee, just need new designs instead of trying to fit the square pegs of G1 designs into the round holes of "Trying to make them turn into vehicles those designs have no business turning into."
