Megatron Looks Vaguely Megatron-ish in Transformers 2
As per usual, the spoiler pic–concept art of Megatron in his new robo-duds, along with Ravage, as they will supposedly appear in Michael’s upcoming opus Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen–is after the jump. I’ve thrown the indeterminate mess of scrap metal that was Megatron in the first flick up here for comparison, and it’s not a spoiler to say if this is correct, Meg is looking much improved. We might be on a roll here.
They’re stlll a bit too pointy and over detailed for my tastes, but Ravage does indeed look like a feline, and Megatron has enough smooth bits where I can actually envision him transforming into a vehicle of some sort (a tank, if the previous rumors are correct). Now, if they can give Starscream some kind of distinguishing characteristic, I might finally be able to tell the goddamn Decepticons apart in the movie. (Via Transformers Live Action Movie Blog)
