By then, a Deluxe will be $45, and Steeljaw will still be one per case at a random retailer.
Or Tarantulas, Inferno, Megalo Convoy, Jhiaxus...
Those guys weren't G1-ified because they weren't as stylized as the Prime, Animated, and RID'15 designs. According to this current Hasbro team, stylized designs like that get G1-ified, sadly.
I'm not overly happy with the drab colour scheme of the new one... but I'm still going to buy it.
Someone forgot to convert it?
The original is very weird. It seems like the tail might have been assembled upside down and this never got fixed.
It's just left in its configuration for robot mode.
The original looks like its got the nicer shade of red than the Legacy verison.
It's going for accuracy in that Dragon Megatron was slightly more darker colors in the cartoon:
I can't help but notice that the new figure does NOT include the classic Barrister's Wig as shown in the above cartoon clip. This is a mistake.
I'm waiting for a third party to just make the whole hot tub.
If they were going for a more muted show-accurate red, they’re way off. It’s kind of a weird middleground that doesn’t look very good or satisfy either the toy/show purists. Or it might be the right shade but the lack of the shiny texture throws it off IDK
Also the gold is probably gonna be mustard again. Eugh.
Of course, colors are easily fixed. the mold looks pretty good.

I think it's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. I like the increase in gold detailing on the new version, but the lack of chromed/metallic red and purple paint on it is not cool. I'll have to do some extra detailing on the dragon mode head, neck plates, etc to make it look more like the toy and possibly repaint the eyes on both modes green.
Holding out for the inevitable Cryotek deco on this mold.
I expect DNA Desgins will come out with an upgrade kit for him, I expect they are desgining it right now and then waiting for the figure to be released so they can decide what upgrades to make, I'm expecting a upgrade that covers up the robot mode hand in Dragon mode, when I was watching the Prime V Prime review of the figure, yesterday, I couldn't help but notice my eyes falling upon the base of the neck of the Dragon mode and seeing that part, it was so bloody obvious!
