I'm not normally one to like it when Beast Wars and G1 characters of the same name get smooshed together, but I actually find that G1 Dinosaur Megatron extremely cool. May prefer if the black portions faded more organically into the silver to look more like a realistic animal color pattern, but I do like it a lot.

The TM2 color scheme also looks really great on the mold.

A fade for the head going into the neck; I also think that the dino legs should be all black; and maybe give the dino mode an alusion to the loops of the G1 toy for markings. All these would help, imo to make the Dino mode be less bland while not affecting the robot mode's look much if at all since those parts end up hidden or on back.

You mean Megatron's chest hair?

I have a digibash request based on speculation from 11 years ago.

Back in the lead-up to BotCon 2014, the fifth and final figure of the box set was hinted at by Fun Pub to be a Japanese-original character made from a Voyager class mold from the Classics toyline, which narrowed things down to the only three Voyager molds from that line being Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Jetfire.

While the revealed figure turned out to be Fire Guts Ginrai from the Voyager Optimus mold, there was speculation that it would instead be Star Saber as a straight redeco of Voyager Jetfire (using his battle helmet to emulate Star Saber's head and the inner head being colored to resemble Saber's head).

With this idea in mind, would anyone attempt to digibash the Classics Jetfire mold into G1 Star Saber, as a BotCon-style straight redeco with no new tooling, just to give an idea if what this speculated figure could have looked like?
