Thanks to @Smokingray7775 on Twitter, we now have a small gallery of in-hand images of the Transformers Generations Shattered Glass Collection Megatron figure.
These photos display the heroic Decepticon leader in both his robot and vehicle modes, as well as showing that he can still turn into the Siege Megatron mold’s original tank form.
You can check out the pics for yourself and let us know what you think on the TFW boards.

Kevin Liu's review is up for anyone interested.

Out of all the SG, I think I'm getting Starscream.

That I would have bought and expected it as well. Sigh.

Frankly speaking, this is the best colored version of Megatron…

Wow. Super lazy remold / repaint. Borderline joke mode / figure. I\'m super happy w orginal Tank mode deco…

I love this for the sheer ingenuity of creating a whole new alt-mode with a couple new parts. It’s like an official fan-mode

OR, I'm thinking (they've still got a ton of other potential SG figures left), they may wait a while, release a new version of UT Evac in one of the forthcoming CHUG toylines, and go with that.

Thanks for the info, my friend! Looks great! Kind of makes Netflix Megs look a little stumpy. Poor guy. He's my second favorite CHUG Megatron, so I feel bad saying this, but your pics look like he's on the wrong side of the "guy she said not to worry about" meme.

Ouch. I could pretend I'm not annoyed at the awfully self righteous and passive aggressive comment at the end there, but I would be lying. I've thought this out thoroughly. I plan to start designing and creating figures once I can afford a computer and 3d printer. I have quite a few transformers designs taking up space in my head. I won't pretend like I have first hand experience with creating physical figures, but my nightly routine to fall asleep consists of trying to think up new and interesting ideas for transforming figures and ways to improve figures that exist. I know a thing or two about engineering, considering I'm in school for aerospace engineering. And I did no color replacement on this edit so even that part of your claim is baseless
As for the cannons "floating behind the robot mode," they're attached to what was the treads before, along with the wings. The head in my edit is neither wider nor taller than Galvatron's head so shouldn't have much of a problem fitting for transformation. I don't have the figure with me currently so I can't look inside the chest cavity and no for sure, so I may be missing something. Simple solution: scale the head down 10%. For alt mode, turn Galvatron upside down and backwards

Yellow square is the legs. New feet fold together into a point to create nosecone and cockpit. Green square is the collapsed arms, already in this position due to Galvatron's alt mode. Red square is the new wing piece and purple square is the blue shoulder cannons, both attached to the end of the arms, the same way the treads attach to Galvatron. The port where the orange cannon barrel connects on Galvatron's alt mode is now a thruster on the rear of SG Megatron's jet mode. Obviously not an exact replica but much closer than this figure
I'm not at home otherwise I would flip Galvatron upside down, take a pic, and throw together another edit to get my idea across better

You don't have to retool it. It already has enough Galvatronish shapes, you just need a new head and gun or plural guns.

Paint the wingtips bright blue, it's easier than forcing a tank to transform into a Jet.
Rakzo
What's is both funny and sad is that, despite of how half-assed the spaceship mode is, is not any worse than Siege Apeface's "jet" mode.
GizmoTron
Good old Hegemon. He looks so dated now, but for a long time there he was the go to CHUG Megatron.
SG Unicron
Ngl, I would buy that! Would love a curveball like that. It isn't outta place since Timelines would use movie molds for SGs too, and it keeps the alt mode. Would need a looootta retooling to capture the feel of the original, but if not just give me a new head, hands, and maybe a particle cannon and you have my preorder.
TFXProtector
Scales very well. About Galvatron's height. Turns into a gun, even.
He's not perfect and you can either keep him intact or make him a partsformer to clean up the robot mode, either way… He wasn't a good fit back in 2012/2013 when ToyWorld released him originally, but he works a lot better with today's stuff (visually) as Zeta's metallic repaint. They also replaced the original's translucent plastic with solid opaque.
He goes for about $60, shipped, which is in line with current Leader pricing. (About the same parts count, too.)

Somehow even the alt mode parts are looking better to me; the arm mounted sword looks way cooler than it should too with the cockput there. Glad I've been POing all of the SG figures; heck I pulled Prime out of the box recently and was surprised at how nice he actually looked (I was so certain I'd dislike him after how they did the MP but somehow they picked a better purple and actually painted him). Hope they do Sideswipe from the Siege mold soon as that feels like the one repaint that mold should have had but didn't (instead of all the other cool repaints we got that would have been better still with Kingdam retool anyway).
My one real complaint here still stands though; there's 0 reason for them not to have gone with the Hero Megatron head that was a dead ringer for SG Megatron.

I'm not expecting it, but I really hope it's less cream colored in person.
marvel b
I can't wait to get this guy! the fact that he's basically a triple changer now still makes me so happy!
Chaos Muffin
Was all that really necessary?
shamanking282
I've said this in other threads, but if anyone's gonna buy a third party replacement head for this guy, I'll happily buy the original head from you.
SonicConvoy05
ooh, the tank mode looks great, love the colors. Not sure if id get another megs tho, and that ship mode is not cutting it.
cool that Energon Megs is getting a third-tier nod at least.
