Henkei Megatron comes packaged in robot mode.
When you transform him to gun mode you get a mainly silver gun. The white has gone silver or a similar grey. The purple on the handgrips is black. The safety peach is a dark grey. The clear green is now colourless clear plastic. The con symbol on the side of the scope is a more metallic purple. The clear plastic in the scope is now red. There's a whole load of new red markings on the gun. Although BW Dragon Megatron was red this isn't a colour I automatically associate with Megatron.
TFing back to robot mode and you gain chrome on the chest - apart from the con symbol which is purple - and the knee pads. Since the knee pads lock into other bits during TF and the chest has something close round it this possibly isn't the greatest idea in the world. More red markings in bot mode, and the lightpipe eyes are fuelled by the same clear red plastic as the scope.
Overall: In theory this should be a better toy, closer the G1 colours etc. In practice I think this toy look better in the purple and white which is in turn marred by the safety peach.
I suspect the real answer is to mold the toy in Purple/Blue with clear Orange Plastic and call it Galvatron !
