Pretty nice... and it's hard for Hasbro to ask people not to look at something which is on a very public place like eBay...

Very 'anime', isn't it?

Yeah, I agree that it looks nice. I'm wondering about the tank part though.

I also wonder how long it will remain on ebay. As soon as Hasbro notices it, ebay will probably take it down.....

Yep, very stylised.

I like it more now than I did when I saw the unpainted one. Seeing the whole thing in shot really puts more perspective on things. Still looks too bulky in the body (shoulders too far away from the body) and his head looks too small. Nice that the wings can fold away.

I've a feeling those green bits will end up orange, though, which is a shame.

What is it with Hasbro and that God aweful orange? I think the Green will work much better, esp if that preview comic pic is accurate.

Damn he looks alot like G1 Galvatron through. Even the "6pack" and crown. Not a complaint though.

So that tank thing - it looks alot like his Armada form. I wonder if it's a acedental add to the Auction or a minicon or something.

It'll probably be the same green as Battle Ravage's weapons because the baddies' enegon is supposed to be green, or some such nonsense.

as far as Megs go, I'm going to wait for the colors to see if I like him . . .

Well, I'm fully expecting the comic to generate Energon Megs by having the Armada guy merged somehow with the Worlds Collide Galvy, hence the new appearance.

But I've been known to be wrong. Occasionally.

I've been waiting a while for pics of this guy.

That tank looks like his Armada form. Can anyone say Sinister Megatron?

Mmm. It's a bit big for a Minicon. Perhaps since Megs is working with the Autobots, he gets to be a combiner?

working with the autobots? Heheheh... you guys aren't aware of just where this megs ends up comming from, huh?

*spoiler*

Unicron himself forged him.. just as he did to Galvatron originally. You can find that out in the first mini-comic for energon.. and As for color schemes... according to said comic... it's gonna be a bluish tint, somewhat comparable to G1 galvy's purple... but with a slight deeper coloration... not quite as "pale" I guess you could say

RID Scourge · Post by **RID Scourge** » Fri Oct 24, 2003 3:13 pm

Yeah, he's working with Prime. His main goal is to regain control of the Decepticons, and take control of Unicron. This comes from the Dreamwave message boards.

And we shall call him "Mini-Me"!

But according to God Jinrai - Brends idea might not be to far off. Maybe it's just that Old Uni has an afinity for that style of trasformer (Please dear God, do not make a G1 Scourge look a like, all we need is another flying surfboard

)

I wonder if they'll ever do a transformabe Alpha Trion

Oh and as we all know Comics and cartoons varrie dramatically. I don't think we'd be complaining so much if the Armada Cartoon was like the Comic. So I don't have too much faith in the up coming cartoon

Too Gundam-ish.

Brave Maximus · Post by **Brave Maximus** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 6:11 am

QUE?

Gundam-ish? In what way? I just don't see it. I see G1 Galvs but not a gundam

is it me or does that tank piece look like it came off Overlord???

:rolleyes:

RBison · Post by **RBison** » Sun Oct 26, 2003 12:32 am

I think it's a cool toy, but I have no idea what the use is for the tank. To me, it's a pretty pointless accesory (sp?), but I'll buy it anyway when it comes out

Freak_Dudley · Post by **Freak_Dudley** » Sun Oct 26, 2003 8:07 am

Lets pray for me that I get this toy in Singapore.*Sigh* It looks pretty cool.

The head and torso remind me of them.

Everythings Gundam/DBZ these days. I wouldnt be suprised if the new shows kids were able to go SOOPER SAYAN.
