Other people getting their orders filled before mine means I get to hear about any problems or issues with the toy before I pay for it. Thanks, beta testers!
I'm right there with you. Although, if I would have done that with the early people that received Tidal Wave, I might have been scared off from getting one of the best titans to date.
So the Nonnef kit arrived for Windsheer. Looks good, makes him different from Needlenose.
Tidal Wave is here too. Sure is big. Don't really have much else to say. Here he is with Nemesis. 2 ships, no waiting.
Eh, they're all okay. I don't really have much to say.

I bought ER Megs under this line of thinking and was disappointed
I don't expect SS 86 Megatron to be a retool or remould of either Siege or ER Megs.
Of course that begs the question of what he could be, and the obvious line of "he can't be THAT thing he was in the movie... can he?"
I'm quite content with my Siege Megs as my definitive Megatron but I gotta see what they do for SS 86, if only out of curiosity.

I feel like the current team is capable of producing an '86 movie Megatron that is faithful to his robot mode. Personally though, I would welcome a non-transforming version. He could still be at the regular Leader pricepoint, but they could really focus on paint apps, articulation, and accessories. Of course he would have his fusion cannon, but he could also come packed with his laser pistol, a "mini-me" style P38 gun that others could wield, energy sword/knife, that shard of rock or whatever that he threw at (and impaled) Optimus with, his energy flail, and maybe some interchangeable battle damaged parts a la Masterpiece.
I realize that this may be highly unlikely, because you know, Transformers; it's kind of in the name. But I am not interested in yet another tank Megatron, and if we are going to have him released in a line that prioritizes on-screen appearance, it would make sense to have him be a solid, cool-looking, non-transforming robot.

I think that we might be missing the obvious solution to our SS86 Megatron problem. SS86 Megatron doesn't turn into a gun. He turns into Galvatron.
In my book it's not definitive until they do something with the front of the treads instead of just lazily dumping them on Megatron's back.
I passed on RED the first time
No, there doesn't need to be an alt mode. Just two robot modes.
Watch out, I hear Galvatron is nearby. Real nearby.
I still think they should just turn Megatron into a weaponizer. They can't make him turn into a gun for people, but they can make him turn into a arsenal for his troops.
Creative ideas in Studio Series are FORBIDDEN!
MeGalvatron, a commander class weaponizer with a goblin glider attachment and two particle cannons to make Energon Galvatron.
He's neither Studio Series nor whatever comes after Legacy.
Naaah, next commander will probably be an Autobot, maybe Broadside.

"Well, Me Grimlock!"
Yep, seen that art before. But the crucial part of my sentence was whether it could be done well. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course. And while that art is certainly Megatron and Galvatron in one, I would not want a toy that looked like that.
Cool. But I'm not talking about a cheap, flimsy mess of a figure. I'm suggesting throwing the weight, budget, and engineering of the SS86 line behind a Leader (or Commander) quality figure.
He's a submarine, it's cool.
