Thanks to 2005 Boards member anthamic for sharing in our boars a photographic proof of a new Transformers: Authentics figure: Authentics Alpha 7″ Megatron.
This is a very unexpected finding. So far, Megatron was available in the Authentics 5-inch figures “Bravo” assortment, and now we have a new bigger mold which was found at Toy Kingdom in SM Megamall in Philippines for 599.75 Phillipine Pesos or $11.31 approximately.
The Authentics 7-inch figures “Alpha” was supposed to include only Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Grimlock, and now we finally have our first Decepticon on this size.
Update: Courtesy of 2005 Boards member TaskManager, we can confirm that this figure is out at US retail too! Megatron was found at a Family Dollar store in Frackville, Pennsylvania a few weeks ago. Time to check your local stores to try to find Megatron.
Authentics Alpha Megatron surfaced out of nowhere, in a similar way when we knew the existence of the Authentics 5-inch “Bravo” Grimlock. Check the images after the jump and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

There are small ones that look exactly the same as this. That's probably what you saw because this Megatron hasn't been out for months.
My review here:

I saw this months ago at family dollar. They also sell the Optimus, Grimlock, and Bee molds.

I saw 2 yesterday at a Family Dollar in Greensboro, NC. $10.50 He's surprisingly pretty big. Taller than the Grimlock.

Could you share the store and State you found it? Thanks!

Are you in the US?

At this size is just a transforming Megatron-shaped shampoo bootle. Still, it's a toy for a kid to bash around, so…

Ooooh, that shows promise.

So it's a beefed up version of the smaller mold. Remind me again, is it in Deluxe Scale?

I reviewed this weeks ago, found it at family dollar. Was amused.
