Don't think so, Megatron should be a completely new mold, transforming into a made up space gun is just too different from transforming into a real life gun.

@Topic: Official pics start to hit the net (I won't link all of them, just go to TFW) and we get a first look at the accessory count:

Hot Rod includes his Buzzsaw hand, a Matrix compartment where you can store the Matrix that came with MP-10, a visor, a fishing rod and 2 guns.

Shockwave features a light-up gimmick which lights up his gun arm in robot mode and the gun barrel in gun mode, his hands are interchangeable, he comes with an alternate articulated left hand, clear plastic versions of his right hand and the gun hand, two saluting hands, a stand for his gun mode which slides over his backpack in robot mode and last but not least: A tiny version of himself in gun mode to be held by himself or your other Decepticons.

Shockwave also has the possibility of having a Decepticon logo on his chest, but that might just be an optional sticker.

I’m loving the accessory counts for these two, especially Shockwave!

Bring on the pre-orders HLJ, I need my Shockwave!

Want to make sure they reworked/removed all the major QC issues from the last release.

They reworked quite a bit on the new release.

Fishing rod is what sold me on hot rod now they just need to do a new rodimus as well

I don't quite like the proportions on the new Hot Rod TBH, the rectangular chest and the long arms look kinda weird to me. It's more accurate than MP-09's giant shoulders, but still.

But they absolutely nailed Shockwave, can’t wait for this one.

Yeah, the chest definitely could've been better. But hey, as long as it doesn't crumble in your hands...

I am absolutely getting Shockwave. All of those accessories is just oodles of icing on the cake.

C'mon AmiAmi! I'm sure I'll have other things coming in that month to make it worth it anyway lol.

The thing is hot rod chest is accurate to show model as season 4 show model where it looks like that so I am fine but this is first time I want just cause it cones with a fishing rod.

I'm fine with the chest

[ZeoRangerV]

Oh man, both are really tempting. Shockwave's cooler, but should they ever get around to doing a Galvatron (which is an instant buy for me) I'll want to Hot Rod for him to pound.

I have to stay strong.

I feel you. I made my cut and already set enough money aside to pay Shockwave when he comes up, but yeah... I have to stay strong too, because now I feel like I could pick Hot Rod up too

/Sign. The figure looks miles better than MP-09 and the accessories are fantastic, that fishing rod is golden. I would buy him, but I don't really care about Hot Rod or Rodimus.
