It also needs the green, though I couldn't figure out where to put it.

maybe the sides of the visible tank treads? The nerf gun only really had green on the cylinder which would translate to the cannon or the shoulder but those are visible in robot mode…
The way it is now, it’d pass for a Funpub exclusive of a half-way Megatron to Galvatron

It's snuck up on me until now, but between that angular element on the chest and something about the way the helmet flares out but is rounded off, it definitely has those vibes.

Makes sense. Classics was the most recent major G1 Megatron design at the time of the WFC game development, not counting the deluxe tank.

It probably goes without saying, but I have the Classics Deluxe set, and I like it. I don't have the Voyagers.
I'm very high on the Voyagers and meh on the Deluxes, except for the United release of G2 Hero Megatron. I also liked the G1 colors one from Universe 2.0 Special Edition, shame I had to sell that.
Deluxe megatron is neat. Deluxe Optimus’s spinning gimmick breaks and gets loose really easily.
I wish he had a better defined right hand. The rest of him is neat. The Optimus is nice and lithe, but the headsculpt, gimmick, and altmode all leave something to be desired.
Deluxe Optimus I thought was ok, not great, but I love Deluxe Megatron, though I use him as Megastorm
Deluxe Optimus felt like it was trying to compete with RobotMasters G1 Convoy over who could be the more awkward G1 Optimus at the Deluxe scale.
Years later, Studio Series Gamer Edition Devastation Optimus came along to really show them both how it's done.

Devastation Op seems fine?
I think they mean that he shows them how to do a good Dlx Optimus rather then "shows them to do peak bad dlx optimus"
The phrasing seems to suggest Devastation Op came along to show them how "[being an awkward G1 Optimus at the deluxe scale]" is done.
He's perfectly cromulent. His original reveal pictures did him no favours, as they showed off the figure in the worst light possible.
But it's actually a pretty solid Optimus Prime at the Deluxe scale. Devastation drew heavily from the Sunbow show for its aesthetics, and so he makes a nice companion prince with Legacy United G1 Optimus. Two Deluxe Primes, one who's incredibly G1 toy accurate, one who's incredibly G1 cartoon accurate.
I want to see a Deluxe Devastation Megatron.
Come on, Hasbro. Why don't you do Battle in a Box type sets anymore?

Now I want to see THIS Deluxe Op in Magnus cab colors ...
Something about the Devastation OP mold has never quite jived with me - I think it's the wheelbase in vehicle mode, the truck's just too long with the legs not meaningfully collapsing.
That said, I'll echo my previous statement about Toy Universe Prime: Hasbro, I'll buy more Optimii if you do more varied redecos! Nightwatch, Naked Magnus, Powered Convoy, Hero, anything!
I just wish the mold could hold its guns in-hand.
