Thanks to Manuel (@RodimusPrime87) we finally have pictures of the leader Class G1 Megatron decorated as an Autobot. The figure having long been advertised as including stickers to allow you to reflect Megatron's current status in IDW's comics has so far only been seen in its stock appearance. Now finally we can see the Autobot emblems and the swirls inspired by the original gun form detailing. The logo stickers are backed in white to cover the Decepticon logos, but so are the swirl lines, causing them to unfortunately stand out badly. Click through to check out the pictures!

I'm still deciding if I'll want to make mine Autobot. I like the character arc in the comics, but this toy doesn't especially remind me of that otherwise. The other chest stickers are a definite no, however.
I know some aren't thrilled with the soft push of stickers in select toys recently, but my preference in general would have been to leave this without tampographed insignia altogether and let the stickers be used from the start. Then they could have clear backing and the swirls wouldn't be so sore-thumbish with the white backing.
Yeah no stickers for my Megs.
