E-Hobby have posted clear, official images of the next Takara-Tomy Generations release, TG-25 Orion Pax VS Megatronus. Yes, Megatronus not Megatron! This will be the first time that Megatron has officially had a toy bearing the name of his “pre-Megatron” name that he took from the fallen member of the original 13 Transformers.
As for the toys themselves, as is par for the course with Takara-Tomy Transformers Generations releases, each one sports a metallic finish. Orion Pax looks very bold in the metallic red and the deep, primary blue, while Megatronus seems to have a metallic effect on the black, and also features lots of nice purple panel line detailing.
Check out the images at the link above, or attached to this story.

True, but I would deffinetly get them because it me it looks like quality rather than quanity. The paints brighter in color and well put together. But thats just me, but I understand what you said.

Pax looks nice enough to me to justify the set, but it's Megatronus I really want.
theestampede
really wish I could get that Megatron by itself. It looks really fantastic.
I want the Orion as well, but I'm not willing to pay premium for it.

Well I just paid for the two above for $48 for the pair. I don't think they will be coming with the comics, so regular United price point.

Wow Megs's Paint looks way better that the hasbro version and the Hasbro version had great Paint Aps

I wonder how much the Takara Figures of the Thrilling 30 will be? Anyone have any ideas or info on that?

Ok, now that there are real pics my brain is betraying me…those panel lines and whatever benighted synapse says "new name is new character OBVIOUSLY so even though you have Galvatron, Megatron(s), and Megastorm (G2!Generations!Megatron) you should get Megatronus toooooo"
At least a late-night BBTS preorder is easy to reverse.

Well I was only going to get the Hasbro versions of these, butafter seeing these pics…yeah, definitely getting this 2 pack.
Pravus Prime
I pre-ordered before these better pics came up, but now I'm wowed over and then some.
That Megatronus is gorgeous.

All this Megatronus talk makes me want a pre-war Megatron figure with a removable helmet and, what I have dubbed, his "party hat"
Stepper
For this Generations TG-25,we do not get to choose which figure to get as it is a VS pack though i only want the Megatronus.

Oh I think people will buy megs (more would have bought him with Takara's treatment)…. he won't shelf warm. Now Bee on the other hand, is a professional peg warmer… no shame in his game

It's his second most recent body in IDW, so yeahs, calling it Megatronus is really, really dumb. (y'know, aside from the fact that "Megatronus" is a stupid name)

…..convinced me. Preordered. Dat MegatronUS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Megatron get this body way after his gladiator days? Making it weird to call him Megatronus?
Edit: just read a post above here with the whole "Orion before Optimus and Megatronus before Megatron". Does make sense, this Megatron does sport a much different look.

This design is based on his IDW self, which was a cop.

Niiiiice… but isn't there something kind of off about Orion Pax? Like… him having weapons?

Pax looks nice. Why is Megatron's cannon red?
[Wing_Saber-X]
