Megs looks pretty similar to a recolored Real Gear Longview, at least in the sense of the general outline and shape…

The design style isn't for me, just rubs me the wrong was I guess, could be because I've seen the movie a few times and am just spoiled now.
The toys on the other hand look like a hundred different flavours of fun.
The show I'll watch a few eps and see if its for me.
Ktulu
That's a pretty cool design for Megs imo
Fort Max
They haven't said anywhere what his altmode will or won't be, all they said was that by the end of the first series Megatron would change design from the Cybertronian hover tank thing with movie styling into an earth form and that fans would love it.
And clearly, we do.

Now imagine that the design for Megatron gets animated for 24 frames a second
(or twelve for tv quality animation).
They are walking, jumping, doing stuff energetically on the screen as these designs aren't gonna be carboard cutouts like tghe majority of A/E/C.
yeah, obviously kindergarten quality…
dare
Ah, so that's what ME=0@EP1 means.

looks great. finally a series that LOOKS fun, rather than "lets just stick any crap on the TV, we got 22 minutes to waste."
Love Teen Titans, Legion of Superheroes, and The Batman… best 'toons on tv in YEARS.

You know I was thinking of that the other night. Hopefully it comes out for the Wii. I could have sworn I read somewhere that Megs would get a gun mode when it comes to Earth.

Watch it now, You'll stir up supporters!

Hmm…I wonder if we'll get a TF Animated game? Even Teen Titans got a game and this is done by the same people. Plus, these designs would make great game characters and it seems like the kind of show that'd get made into a game.

for the record, what exactly IS megs cybertronian mode? is it some sorta jet or a hover tank, i get a "hover feel" but other than that i don't know.
as for the new image of "earth megs" – ME LIKEY!
i don't know what he transforms into. from his lower legs he definitely looks like he could become a gun (with little jet ports on the side)
Grimwing
blagh. 100% agree with you on that. cinemangas are the junkiest filler in terms of kids comics. Just yesterday at the comic shop I opened the tokyopop energon book hopeful for a dreamwave compilation of their energon comics. but itstead it was a cinemanga of the tv series. What tripe.
Jarodimus
I'm hoping he was playing along, considering I laid it on with a trowel.
Anywho, I continue to be as excited as I've ever been for a TF show. (Which, of course, may lead to great sorrow. I'm looking at YOU, Energon.) These books, however, sound like they could be the equivalent of "CineMangas". I've never quite seen the point of those.
Dark Magnus
You there! Your sarcasm detector is broken. Please fix it immediately.

His right arm is kinda positioned like he has one. They probably did photoshop it out of the picture. I think the thing in behind his head is most likely an aesthetic choice b/c it looks like a hammer (the kind that are on revolvers and the G1 Megs).
As far as his alt mode, it sure looks like he'll turn into a gun or cannon b/c his feet look like they slide back against his legs. His lower arms also look like they'll slide up to make a smooth connection with the upper arm/shoulder. I almost wonder if his arms won't swing up over him like how G1 Shockwave's did. Either way, as long as he has a canon on his arm, it's a great design.
Fort Max
Dude, this is only one picture, what you see now isn't necessarily what you'll see next year.
Dirge121
I think he does actually have a Fusion Cannon, its huge.
(The toy has it, and given the toy-accurate-ness they were going for, I'm guessing Animated Megs has it too)
Fury
I still don`t know about this animated series. Megatron with a sword and not a fusion cannon. To me it just seems wrong.
swarlock
Riiiiight!!!!
swarlock
That's good to know.
