If the rumored green tank megatron is just this in green w/purple camo, I will throw an absolute tantrum.
The grey combat hero out of siege was bad, but preferable to the green because it's just a lazy repaint on a mold that the only things it has in common with G2 Megatron is that it's a tank, and has a megatron head. The purple hero megatron out of TR was frustrating because being able to put the canon on his shoulder, the mold was made with G2 in mind, even if it was G1.
But after all that, if this one is exactly the same with green paint slapped on it, that is a copout.
If they were going to all the trouble of redesigning how the siege mold works, only to make it identical to how it was before... I just... It makes me angry. I'm not even making sense anymore.
Oh well. Warden is gone now, so maybe post Kingdom they'll allow more variety. Maybe the next new mold tank Megatron WILL be a proper G2 Megatron, or even Armada Megatron.
...but it will probably be another silver and black tank, only two treads become legs, two treads fold into the chest so they mimic his stomach shapes, while the turret halves become arms, and the barrel stows on the back making the perfect tank to gun style robot.

The back of the van. Oh dear.
Huge missed opportunity with the roof not becoming a MARB but it's just a giant shield. Oh well!

While I love it for the most part, I genuinely don't understand why they stopped at the feet. All the changes they put in, they stopped at the feet. At least, why not design them for this form, from the start? There are worse insults in Siege than if Ironhide inexplicably had an earth van rear end. You know, when you compair a $20 mainline toy with a $150 "masterpiece," the MP shouldn't be completely destroyed by the deluxe.

Hmmmm me no like. He looks like they took Siege Ironhide and tried to make it look like G1 Ironhide.
No MARB.... no MARB....

Oh ta. I scrubbed through that several times and didn't see that. I think on the whole I prefer the Earthrise one. The robot is just more Ironhide. I expect 3P will do some plugs for the back end of the van.

They reshelled it to make him look more like his earth self. And except for the rear end, I think they were more successful. Only seige should have been more alien.

It's a bit of a mess and falls between two stools. Looks better than the MP though!
Only one remake of Ironhide has been amazing. I of course speak of...UNIVERSE IRONHIDE.

Renders are new poses, so it's not a fake photoshopped from Prowl or Smokescreen

Yes..... Rotorstorm render blunder to be fixed in production or I'm told Prowl has Bluestreak's head to make up for Siege Bluestreak having Prowls..... I can't really tell the difference, something in the horns?

Bluestrrak's horns were always smaller than Prowls on the animation model. Almost like little bull horns or something.

They look fine on the Siege toys from what I can see on the Wiki.

Of course they chose the worst of his three colorschemes. Give me the toy accurate and pretty silver, or the mythical and gorgeous blue any day.

Surely they have to fix that. Bluestreak with Smokescreen's animation head is just plain wrong. It's not like it's an optional choice, Smokescreen could be either or, but Bluestreak doesn't look like that.
