These new images, courtesy of Twitter users トランスフォーマー情報局 and 超偏見超変形/リベンジ, show us 2 different types of images. The first shows a promotional shot of Megatron in full color firing a blast from his Dino head in robot mode. This shows us that we will be getting blast effects, much like we are with Masterpiece Dinobot, and that his T-Rex head will be equipped with lights.
The 2nd set of images shows us Masterpiece Megatron on full display at the show, and included in his group shot are copies of Masterpiece Dinobot and Optimus Primal! No Pussycat though, boo! He is a glorious mirror image of his on-screen appearance.
Check out all the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

That's how I felt the second I saw those pictures. It looked incredible without colors, but now, it looks downright amazing! Has to be one of the top things to be excited for.

Also a quick thing for people to note. Given Megatron's overall size. In terms of scale, if HasTak do move onto Season 2 aka Transmetals, this would be about what you'd be looking at...

True. But I don't think they would turn down reusing a mold. Beast Wars doesn't really have as extensive a back catalogue of palette swaps as Generation One. Some of them will only be a one to two use mold, so I doubt the opportunity would be passed up. Likewise I foresee Laserbeak and possibly Fractyl being releases after Terrorsaur.
Airazor is probably the only character I can think of, that didn't have any redecos at all

And RE: the backpack conversation.
His backpack is the sides of the dino AND the sternum. The original toy had three flaps: two sides and the chest, which hung down on the back kind of out of sight. They ditched that for the show and significantly shrank the wings, so they've had to do a lot of folding and compressing to match that here. Why is this a surprise?

I'm a bit confused as to why we even talked about given the difference between the toy and the animation model...

If they do an MP Waspinator, they have to have his limbs be ball-jointed. That way, we can replicate his usual state in the show.

Based on the precident set with G1 and BW, you only need to wait another 8 years.

Indeed. Perhaps his extras should include a couple miniatures of his more choice "junk pile" moments ala...

Speaking of which: how big are they in relation to fellow T-Rex Grimlock's?

They should be around the same size, right? Grimlock has pretty normal sized T-rex arms, maybe slightly longer. Both Masterpiece figures should be about the same size, just a tiny bit shorter than MP-10.

Of course. Thanks. There are several episodes of Season One I don't seem to retain in the old memory banks, That was one of them.
Yet I also notice:
(A) No Toothbrush
(B) No Rubber Ducky... Hope remains for MP Transmetals

This scene also shows why he has removable kibble in robot mode.

Part of me expected a bit more of silver in his head,like the Botcon toy:

If you look in the second photo at his tail arm you can see that he seems to have two way elbow joints so he doesn't have the ****** curler arms

Ah that makes sense. At first I thought they were trying to give us the look he had when we see him in the first episode, which obviously doesnt work with that giant T-Rex head. But now I see what the point was. I hope those removeable pieces still latch on well and we dont have another Raideen from SOC scenario.

What was the problem with Raideen?

Think of it this way, When it comes to MP, HasTak has yet to significantly deviate from release dates. Therefore:
G1 - 1984 to 1990 - They haven't even finished 1984 yet
G2 - 1993 to 1995 - A G2 MP figure does exist, so more are not impossible.
Beast Wars - 1996 to 1999 - They will shortly be Four characters into Season One. 4 of 14. Plus one redeco.
Beast Wars II - 1998 to 1999
Beast Wars Neo - 1999
Beast Machines - 1999 to 2000
Car Robots - 2000 to 2001
Armada - 2002 to 2003
