With just less than 2 weeks remaining for the Transformers: Prime debut, Hasbro has updated their Hub website’s Transformers: Prime section’s background with a pic of Optimus Prime and Megatron at the opposite ends of the image.
The image looks a lot like the War For Cybertron game cover and would certainly make a good Wallpaper for your PC.
Take a look at the Image by visiting the “Additional Images” section of this News Article.

Excuse me, I was clearly out of line.

there is a flaw with your statement, there is no characterization in the movie I kid I kid.
well, I guess they could find a new line for him to scream RETREAT!!
I dunno.

You just can't see any comment I make as a light-hearted jab, can you?
Lighten up, man. Shroob gets it.

Clearly you havne't heard Welkers new take on his Megatron voice. It's a lot better then what he was doing for the movie games.
Plus G1 Meg always sounded a little hoarse, anyway.
And Cullen's Prime does sound a tad "gruffer" then it use to, but freakly it works for this version of Prime, whose seen a lot of war. Also, the man's aged since 84, of course it's going to sound a little different.

Nah it would only be the movie games if we couldn't understand what Soundwave and Starscream were saying.
Sprocket
I'd say it'll be more like watching the movie games again, 'cause I don't remember Prime sounding that gruff and world weary back in '1984. Or Frank Welker that hoarse
Karhukjnsi
Not I, grandpa.

That's a good point. Armada Meg didn't quite have the same charisma as BW Meg. I'd say the same goes for Garry Chalk with Prinal vs any of the Unicron trilogy Primes.
Although I would hope that doesn't turn out to be the case for Cullen and Welker on TFP.

Voice doesn't mean much characterization wise tho, I mean, just look at all the Megatron's Kaye voiced that weren't the Beast Wars one.
Kickback
Just a quick thought regarding some earlier posts about Megatron and Prime and hoping "that they are their own version"…
How?
You have iconic Peter Cullen voicing Optimus Prime (G1, Movie) and the iconic Frank Welker voicing Megatron (G1).
No matter HOW you look at it, we'll all think we're watching G1 again

This is very nicely done! I really have high hopes for this series, and I think it'll be a fun ride

Oh wow, I love that render, it's my new desktop background now.
Paxtin
Slightly.
I see a little bit of almost everything. G1, TFA, movie, all kind of combined into one design.
bignick1693
is it me or do you see beast wars megatron in him.

Still waiting for a breakdown and KnockOut Render.

That appears to be what they did for most characters. If the character didn't have a crest, they just got eyebrows.
I love them myself. They add so much personality to the characters.
shroobmaster
Oh that would certainly be a continuity nod! What with WFC Megatron moving like a stunted body builder.
But I doubt his movement will be as bad as WFC actualy, he got the usual ACTION HERO body build so he'll probably be much more dynamic.
Sprocket
And I can't wait to watch him awkwardly jerk about on camera!
On a more legitimate note, I'm glad Prime's colors look nice and primary there, but I do wish Megatron had a little more purple or something to break up those wide swaths of grey.

/facepalm I read that as "Finally the real Gender of Megatron!"
shroobmaster
Nothing, they're in the exact position that his hands would be when curled into a fist considering the deisgn of his open palm.
