Megatron is one of the most feared names in the Transformers franchise, with the leader of the Decepticons (and sometimes Predacons) having many different forms. Still, easily his most iconic design is the one from Generation 1, with many subsequent continuities basing their depictions of Megatron on that take. Such is the case with the Transformers: Studio Series toyline, which also homages multiple versions of the Cybertronian menace.Based on concept art for the 2018 movie Bumblebee, this new Megatron toy is also something of a double homage. With its two alternate modes, it’s also a callback to an unmade Megatron figure from an equally unrealized season of a cartoon. This concept matches the general premise of Transformers: Studio Series, which highlights the best and most obscure parts of the franchise’s films.One character was notably missing from Bumblebee, however, was Decepticon leader Megatron. Given that everyone else had looks inspired by the classic cartoon, it was certainly a disappointment that Megatron didn’t show up. There was concept art created for the villainous Transformer, but nothing came of it. The first true manifestation of that concept art was a figure for the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts toyline. Megatron wasn’t in that movie, either, but the design (an updated G1 look) seen on the box impressed fans. Now, it’s being used again for the Transformers: Studio Series toyline.
