lol they could just go back to hating megatron toys be it nerf colours, stupid movie design or the orange caps on masterpeace toys but I'm sure people will find something

so do people just look at pictures and never read the articles? we were told about Side Swipes new head at botcon and that the Sunstreaker head was just used for mock ups.

Fixed for ya.

Anyway, yeah, it was announced at BotCon back in April that Sideswipe would have a new head, but if the fandom actually listened to that info then what would they have to be irrationally pissy about?

Agreed, but it still doesn't change the fact that Universe is based on reissue figures, which is great if you missed a figure the first time around. Still, I like the rare occasion when Hasbro goes the extra mile. Seeing that Classics SideSwipe is not getting a retooled head is very dissapointing.

Where in the world are you getting that Sideswipe isn't getting a retooled head? He's been shown at several events with a NEW head sculpt.

The Classics 2.0 DataBase. It's front paged right now.

Picturs like this have been showing up far to often. It makes me think the new head may get side stepped.

That was confirmed to be a rough mock-up using Sunstreaker's figure. Sideswipe will indeed get a new head.

ALSO from the Universe database....

(severely mistransformed, I know)

I'ma get annoyed if they repaint Leobreaker instead of just making more of Takara's Lio Convoy and repackage it Hasbro style :<

The Lio Convoy mould sucks, IMO. To shellformer-y for my taste.

Now the Leobreaker mould is pure win. Robotic beastformers rule.

That said, I would prefer they repaint the mould as Razorclaw before Leo Prime.

We've seen too many images of the new head to be getting a straight repaint.

Also, if we do get a repaint I'm going to be right pissed. I'd much rather have a Sideswipe head over a Sunstreaker. Much more... classic. And better looking.

I've yet to buy a single Galvatron that was just a repaint of Megatron, and aint looking to start now. I like the figure, I like the colors, but thats not Galvatron. I also make it a point to rename figures if I don't find the given one fitting, ie, movie Megs being called Fury.

Ah, like my Alternator I've named, and has matching plates, Dragstrip. Who the #$*& is this Decepticharge guy they were talking about on the box?

Man you guys look too much into "fitting" a repaint of an already had figure into your collection. :eek

I just buy the figure or not. If i have the mold, so what he still is the character he portrays/is. Also, I think if they print Leo Convoy on the box, it should NOT be Leo Breaker. I have a feeling it will be someone else, or have a proper "convoy" head or so. Dont give Hasbro the OK to give us plain re-releases or repains KTHX

i'm just the reverse, i usually skip the megatron in favor of the repainted galvatron. i usually prefer the colors the choose. RID and cyberton especially. i've got energon megatron but that's because i never saw galvatron version.

Yeah, but I'm impulsive when I see a new figure, and tend to snatch it up right away. And as a amens to my statement, I do have RID Galvatron, I got him and Megatron together in a lot.

Fury :tfhuh Interesting... How did you come by it?

But I do indeed rename figures myself if the name doesn't fit. I renamed Energon Tow-Line into Broadcast cause he's a news van.

I came up with the name Fury because from the start movie leader Megs struck me as a cool figure(I like him) but very much not as a Megatron.

With that in mind, I have something in my collective(which has it's own ongoing story) called "Spark Share". It's simply an older figure passing on part of his spark when a new body is built for him. They share a link, but with a new body and the essence of the old, a new personality developes, while the older form continues to carry on.

In short it's my way of explaining how I can have like 30 Optimus Primes.

So now we're up to Fury, there's some more back story here, you may wanna get a fresh drink now.

During the Beast Era, Megatron tampered with time, that flux is in my collective(I also use it to explain the lack of continuity in the different shows). When the AutoBots started to reapear, Gigatron(an upgraded Magmatron) took comand of the Predacon forces, and was eventualy overwhelmed.

It wasn't by the Autobots and Maximals, but by Scourge who took over the Deceptapreds, and for a long time had an amazing run over the AutoBots and Maximals.

This enraged G1 Megatron, seeing his decended forces being led to constant victory by a Convoy! Even if it was a Convoy he comishioned Megatron2 to build. The intent was to have a strong warrior, not a userper. Using the Convoy image was just a way to add insult to the AutoBots injuries.

Megatron comishioned a new warrior be made, one that he could spark share dirrectly with himself. This gives us Armada Megatron. He held his own for a while, but never realy suceeded as Megtron wished(due to intently palced flaws in his design). Animated Megatron was drained of his own spark for a while when he decided to face Unicron one on one.

Although he suffered, the fragment of Megatron's spark kept him going, even if, he was barely a drone.

Armada Megatron's esence though slowly but surely gathered shrapnel and broken parts left behind in battles and rebuilt himself into Energon Megatron. Energon Megatron, sought out the body of Armada Megtron and took the fragment of G1 Megatron's spark to complete himself(he also restored the spark chamber of Armada Megatron too).

This guy did awesome for a real long time, and still is, even though he tends to watch current events from the outskirts of the battles. He was again defeated though by Scourge who was looking for redemption after Energon Megatron beat him.

This led to the planned building of Cybertron Megatron who was to be the ultimate!!!

Sadly he wasn't.

The three Megatrons became a farce in the eyes of G1 Megatron who constructed yet another new body for himself who was to retake the fragments of his spark from the AEC3. Classics Megatron was born.

Classics Megarton didn't take the fragments for himself, but instead placed it in yet another new body who was to work descretly among the various legions and learn their ways before dominating them. You may know him as Movie Wreckage.

Well, during all this time Cybertron Megatron infuriated with his consistand defeats went on a rampage and attacked anything and everything he could to prove himself. Once again he failed, this time miserably. While lying broken, Dark Scorponok who is quite mindless, thrashed him even further.

Broken and abandoned, his spark began to pulse with fury. This rage created a monster born out of distain of all things, including itself. As Cybertron Megatron laid lifeless, a hatred knowing nothing of alegence, and only hate and conquest began to form.

Hence from fury he was born, fury is he made, Fury he will be called. :07evil

Fury was beaten first by Tigertron after running a spree of distruction. Tigertron took his head. His body spawned a number of smaller versions to tend to him, and a Voyager version to act for him(Voyager reclaimed his head for him). His smaller self seems to have a touch of rash and sense, but is still a basket of hate.

Fury was defeated a second time when he encountered Cybertron Megatron(restored by TerraGattor) attacking Scorponok and his Terrorcons, while mistaking him for Dark Scorponok.

Fury enraged with the mere sight of his former self was winning, but a recently rebuilt Optimal Optimus defeated them both.

Currently both Cybertron Megatron and Fury are being held captive by Energon Megatron who wants to study the occurance.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah, thats how I came up with the name Fury, another thing going for the progression of Cyberton Megatron into Fury is the kibble. The parts may be misplaced, but they are very similar.
