Packaging Pics Hint At Megatron

More pictures via The Arker are online for the various Voyager Transformers that show off the packaging and character descriptons in greater detail then the previous pictures. Also apparently a new game will be released.

Voyager class Optimus Prime Gallery
From the moment Optimus Prime took Earth as a new home for himself and his people, he was rededicated to its protection. Since that day, he has focused all of his considerable will and power on rooting out the last few Decepticons and destroying them. To that end, he has upgraded and refined his sensor suite, and trained with Ironhide in tracking the evil robots.
Voyager class Starscream Gallery
The moment his sensor net registered Megatron going offline, Starscream knew that battle was over and the Allspark lost. He converted to vehicle mode and boosted for outer space, hoping to buy enough time to rally the Decepticon survivors. Returning from Cybertron bearing the marks won during his reign over the Decepticon army, he is cocused on conquest. With a new army behind him, he has the strength to pursue his own goals, and perhaps, when the time is right, bring Megatron back.
Bumblebee with Sam Gallery
Bumblebee and Sam were best friends almost from the moment they first met face to face. As they learned more about one another, that connection grew deeper and deeper. Now, whether Sam is behind the wheel, or standing side by side with his friend, they work together as a team. Against Bumblebee and his human friend, no Decepticon stands a chance.
Transformers: RoTF Missile Mania Gallery
From Milton-Bradley, a two player game that involves knocking opponents players with toy missiles.

I think the most significant piece of information, is the image of Megatron that is on all the packaging either in the background behind the toy, on the Missile Mania box and the side of the packaging as multiple readers pointed out from the previous set.

Now the question is how you know that is Megatron? It is a case of following the pictures. Earlier in the year, CGI pictures of a tank with a head image appeared online. Later an action pose of a robot with claw hands and a face nearly identical to the previous pictures appeared online. A post that is almost identical to the toy packaging. Last we have images of Fast Action Megatron in his packaging (therefore official), that has a tank mode and a face mold nearly identical to the previous images. End conclusion is thanks to the toy, we have official confirmation that all are images of Megatron. Now does this mean he returns in the movie? Michael Bay said no to Empire Magazine but who knows at this point.

  1. Optimus's robot mode is looking more G1-ish is'nt it?

  2. I do hope that Megatron returns. It would be great if came back as Galvatron and was voiced by Leonard Nimoy.

    Now please don't get mad at me becasue I am talking about a third film, but IF they were to do a third film, then I think it would be plausible to have Megatron come back in the last 20 minutes of the second film, only to be more prominent in the third film. That way, Starscream would be the main villain (along with the Fallen?) of ROTF. Then, Galvatron could kill Starscream in the classic line: "Here's a hint."

    Just my thoughts. Five more days for the teaser and five months for the film itself!

  3. I don't know, I think this pretty much gives it away right here:

    "With a new army behind him, he has the strength to pursue his own goals, and perhaps, when the time is right, bring Megatron back"

    I have an outstanding argument with my wife; she thinks it would be lame to bring him back so soon, and should save his resurrection for the third movie. I see her point, but that would mean Megatron is awake/alive for a total of about 20 minutes over the course of 2 movies. And you can't have Transformers without Megatron. You just CAN'T.

  4. Starscream: It was the Twins, they tricked me!
    Megatron: You're either lying or stupid.
    Starscream: I'm stupid! I'm stupid!

    C'mon Superbowl teaser! Woohooo!

  6. Michael Bay is just playing a Bungie. "There is no Megatron!"... Yeah because he is really Galvatron.

    Well, maybe anyway.

    What I find odd is why on the back of Starscream's box does it say "Bring Megatron back"?

    All throughout the Prequal book Starscream didn't want to find Megatron and kept trying to convince everyone he was gone and to give it up. I hate how Transformers has so many inconsistencies.

  7. well to be fair, "when the time is right", could mean anything - like when he's getting his ass handed to him and has no other choice. Or soundwave makes him do it.

  8. To go along with Snortpocket's idea, "when the time is right" could also refer to an extreme plot twist. My thought was (as crazy as it might be) maybe Starscream rebuilds Megatron himself, in an attempt to make Megatron his slave/subordinate minion and unleash Megatron on Starscream's enemies.

  9. None of this "new" info. is inconsistent with Megatron only appearing in flashbacks. e.g. Doing a deal with The Devil (i.e. The Fallen).

    ReplyDelete
  10. Maybe Megatron is part of a bigger piece of the puzzle that is Autobot/Decepticon lore, possibly involving the Fallen. Perhaps he must be alive for something to happen

  11. I dont see any reason Starscream would want Megatron back to life.....BUT it's like snortpocket said you can't have Megatron alive for only 20 minutes in 2 movies It's Megatron... So therefore I think Soundwave def has something to do with Megatron coming back... I dont think Starscream will have anything to do with that... I just can't wait to see Ravage and Sideswipe!!!!!

    I have no clue how a third TF's movie would go without knowing how this one will go but I'm all for everyone else's opinion....

    Can yall rank yall's top 5 transformers of all time....

    5. Ravage
    4. Bumblebee
    3. Starscream
    2. Optimus Prime
    1. Megatron

  14. Megatron will return in the movie but only towards the end of it. If not that way we could see the fallen leader in a flash-back scene of cybertron's past.

    On how long the trailer will be on the Super Bowl this Sunday. 30sec, 60sec or 90sec which is highly doubtful on that one.

    What will be in the trailer mostly it will consist of various battle scenes and close-up shots of the Autobot & Decepticon fleets and then a short glimpse maybe of the Fallen or Megatron near the ending of the trailer.

    This in my guess not official.

    1. Optimus
    2. Jefire
    3. Devestator
    4. Superion
    5. Soundwave
    6. Starscream
    7. Megatron/Galvatron
    8. Arcee
    9. Sideswipe
    10. Iron Hide

  15. Megatron is awesome, I think he will look great on the big screen and so will Optimus. I'm seeing they are looking more G1 as far as body styles then the previous movie. I'm wondering if you'll some tweaks with their faces once it hits the big screen.

  16. I told you that the "Fallen" was not a single character. Knew it from the start!

  17. "I told you that the "Fallen" was not a single character. Knew it from the start!"

    Good! Now, get the hell out of here, we're closed.

    ReplyDelete
  19. DAMN!!! look at Prime's stats he would kick the shit out of Starscream!!! It's a good thing his punk ass can fly!

    ReplyDelete
  20. "You dont know jack shit! I'll believe Megatron is in the movie when I see him in the trailer...."

    I'll fix you... you're gonna wish you were never f**king born!

  21. Megatron is back from hell. Look's like Fallen, Starscream, and Megatron are going to bring hell to the autobots when they face each other. Hopefully, Megatron defeats Fallen then Starscream.

    ReplyDelete
  22. All this is making me real excited! =D

    ReplyDelete
  23. Optimus will kick everyones ASS!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. "Optimus will kick everyones ASS!!!"

    Megatron: No more, Optimus Prime! Grant me mercy, I beg of you!

    Optimus Prime: You, who are without mercy, now plead for it? I thought you were made of sterner stuff!

  25. ^ haha that'd be cool... more fan-tribute line :D

    ReplyDelete
  26. not 2 be mean, but starscream needs to grow some bolts. STOP BEING A KISS ASS! stand up to megatron for once. GOD!!! OK that's out of my system.lol
    anyhow, M.Bay said he was coming back and was like some type of transportation vehicle.idk

    also, optimus prime will probably die in this one, thus causing the third movie "rise of the dino bots"
    Bay also sed that megatron was going to be narrating the very beginning and was gonna talk about the matrix of leadership.

    this movies gonna kick ass...lol
