Enter the dragon! Thanks to 2005 Boards member Actar we can share for you new in-hand images of the upcoming Transformers Legacy Leader Class Transmetal II Megatron for your viewing pleasure.
We have a closer look at this completely new Leader class mold of the powerful Transmetal II Megatron in both robot and dragon mode. A very nice deco and a detailed sculpt for the Predacon leader.
See the new images after the jump and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Admittedly that was almost certainly the intent of the original source material, but I took some creative license given most screen shots have a purple reflection on the face. It matches what Prime1 did with their statue.
The gunmetal or silver didn’t hide the annoying little cheek guards nearly so well as the version with the purple tint. The face looks much more cohesive with this shade.

Looks better but his face is supposed to be dark gray isn't it? Looks purple here.

That ridge around the mouth is the main thing that makes it look weird. Where did they even get the idea for that from?
General Tekno
Huh; that's an impressive difference. I imagine Toyhax will do a new mouth as a label, too.
I don't think the actual silver face is wrong considering that after his lava bath Megatron has a gunmetal face instead of a purple one, as if all the color was roasted off by the lava.

The more pics I see the more I feel like I'm going to display this guy in dragon mode because it's so bad ass.
Beast_Megatron
Wow! This is a vast improvement!
Megatron_X
Holy crap does that make a difference. I plan to disassemble him and spray him with a darker, shinier cost of red. But the rest looks great. What a world of difference paint makes on this one. Especially the face. I'll be repainting the details and face too.
Megascream
I agree but that's not what I asked to see. Thanks anyway.
Oniconvoy
No idea. That dude is in storage. He’s a comparison with Sky Lynx, who’s better anyway:

was interesting to see someone actually bust out a scale to weigh figures.
Megascream
Does anyone have beast wars 2 Galvatron to compare this figure next to or is there anyone with the original transmetal 2 megatron next to beast wars 2 Galvatron in their dragon modes?
Oniconvoy
A little paint helps:

I really hope they make an upgrade kit for that left arm. I think a dragon head fusion cannon type thing would look killer on this guy
DrawinStuff
Ahh yes! Now I remember, ty. Yeah not the greatest mode
TF Hot Rod
I doubt it, it's probably all attached to the front half of the head like all the TF toys are. 3P companies are for sure gonna have to create a whole nead head, regardless of if the head is held together by a screw or if it's glued together.
Megatron_X
I hope it's separate to be taken out and replaced by 3rd Party or painted.
SPLIT LIP
It's probably a single sculpted piece with the rest of the head, or at least the front half.
AndreyOfDoom
Wonder if the face can be removed or if it’s glued in etc.
Pixelmaster
The commerical has it mistransformed; but its not like the correct transformation was that good anyway
