More news from TFSource! They have also posted an update on the Japanese Transformers Prime Arms Micron toy Darkest Megatron. The new picture they have posted from a solicit indicates that the core Megatron figure will be another reuse of the Voyager class Megatron from the mainline Prime toys. The solicit also shows that Megatron will come with three Arms Microns, (we assume) redecos of AMW-01 through 03 who combine to form the huge Dark Matter Calibre Sword.
Right now what is shown are placeholders for each toy in the set using previously released toys. What this tells us though is which Megatron toy is being repurposed by Takara-Tomy for their Darkest Megatron and which Arms Microns he comes with.

There better not be any random chrome on this guy.
That's what killed Darkness Megatron for me.
It's gonna be something like:
"Cybertron's Fate! Earth's Darkest Hour!"
Gryph
The Japanese version probably won't even be called that. You know how they like their long ass episode titles.

It's kind of interesting…I guess. Though I'm more curious to see what Hasbro will do with their inevitable Beast Hunters Megatron, tbh.

I know right?

Wait a minute.

Darkest Megatron
Clever Takara.

Please make this a Takara Dark Energon Megatron. Now that would be cool.

I was hoping for a new mold (yeah, I can hope). No new mold = utter dissapointment. Canceled pre-order.

Where is this 3rd party kit?
Nordh
Hmm.. thinking the same. If Megs has black on him I'll be into it for sure.

I was a bit curious about darkest megs as well originally, but then came down with a grand master plan to get darkness AM 15, buy the third party arm kit with dark star saber and put it on that. There was actually a prototype picture around of the kit on a darkness megs. Looked really nice.
Now if we can just get some info on jet vehicon general

I'll wait for pictures of the near-final figure before I decide to preorder it.

takara or hasbro can't deliver the real thing I bet this is the same shitty mold.
Kaijumaster
hmm, I'll wait for more pictures….but yes! bring on General Vehicon!
General Tekno
I strongly suspect that he's gonna have a red and gold right arm, given he isn't coming with a Gora micron.

I used to think the TF Prime Voyager Megatron was awesome until I got TF Prime AM-05 Arms Micron Deluxe Megatron.
Now I think the Voyager mold is an overhyped piece of shit. Seriously the deluxe mold should've been upscaled as a voyager instead.
The only version of Voyager Megatron worth getting IMO is AM-15 Arms Micron Darkness Megatron which comes in all of it's chromey goodness. The upscaled Gora II and Scythe microns are the icing on an already awesome cake.
RiD Voyager Megatron–Floppy paintless POS.
Dark Energon Megatron–A black version of the above.
Darkest Megatron–Will no doubt be more of the same with a shitty looking sword to boot.
Dah Padre
Yeah, I get that. That's why I'm waiting for a more definitive picture before making a move on my preorder. I'm actually more interested in pics of General Vehicon.

They're just prototypes. Not real toys.
