I bought ER Megs under this line of thinking and was disappointedThere's a lot of places they could improve over the Siege Megatron mold (like, not making it a H tank for one)
I don't expect SS 86 Megatron to be a retool or remould of either Siege or ER Megs.I would be *very* shocked if an SS86 Megatron is a warmed over remold.
SS86 Prime isn’t and I’d expect nothing less for Megatron.
I passed on RED the first timeI 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.
That would be pretty epic! Although, I would be concerned about how they could pull off both characters in one and do it well. Maybe at the Commander level?
Creative ideas in Studio Series are FORBIDDEN!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.
