The fact that Megatron -- who, as you might recall, died after receiving the Allspark that he had been trying to get for the whole fucking first movie -- is going to be in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen has been the worst-kept secret about the whole shebang. So I don't even consider it a spoiler to tell you that yes, it's clearly happening, here's his new toy, and here's his goofy new alien tank mode.
Clearly, someone does not get the phrase "robots in disguise." That person is either Megatron or Michael Bay. (Via Seibertron)

Thats just ironic.
Ok maybe thats not his final tank form. And well I don't think Megatron gives a crap about fitting in.
Just be glad that Bay didn't turn htem all in to robots that turn into high school students to get revenge on The Beef by banging his out of his league girlfriend.
I would actually watch that movie

I bet it is the Humanoid or Dweller, you don't seem to dwell

The only sections of CHUD I've ever read are my buddy Jon Abrams' awesome columns, and the long-gone reviews of ToyFare magazine that used to infuriate me every month. The guy would give us a bad grade because he didn't like the new releases that month.

you cant really say this is a bad disguise, considering his original one was a giant freaking gun

I so wanted to love the first movie but Bay makes it so damn incredibly difficult to do so. Don't get me wrong, I like the move. I own the DVD and have bought the toys... for my son of course. I am a long time transformers fan and am still very split on Bay's treatment of this franchise. I mean he had 25 years of folklore, characters, and back story from which to choose and he scraps 98% of it in favor of new characters who either A. look nothing like their cartoon/toy counterparts form the 1980s (the Autobots) or B. look almost identical to each other with different unrecognizable names (the Decepticons).
I just don't know anymore. Giant Robots beating the crap out of each other for like a total of 13 minutes of screen time just does not a great movie make.
Though there are over 600 million reasons that just might prove me wrong.

I'm sorry, but I just cannot deal with Shia thebeef. He's not charming or interesting. He's annoying. He's like a film-gnat.
But hey, this is Michael Bay. His movies generally suck, and he takes himself so seriously that it's rather funny to see what kind of cliche crap he spits out. Really, when it gets down to it, he's just Uwe Boll with a bigger budget.

The "tank" kinda looks like a puppy. Nice, shiny robo-puppy.
Heeeere puppy puppy puppy...
TR, man, if you consider that the opposite of getting over something is "dwelling" on it.... just sayin'.

It's not really that much worse than his various toy incarnations is it? I mean, granted he had a regular tank form but he also had a bunch of goofy ones!

goofy-looking? Isn't that a Metal Slug tank?
"It's not really that much worse than his various toy incarnations is it?"
No. But then, RiD Megatron is a tough act to beat in the "wierd-ass alt mode(s)" category (since he has like 10 of them). And this is at least his 3rd time being a tank, too.

Say,I'm starting to think the TR staff DISLIKE the Transformers films and their director!
I think Metal Slugs look pretty badass,actually. All he needs is a rocket lawnchair and he's all set.
"Giant Robots beating the crap out of each other for like a total of 13 minutes of screen time just does not a great movie make."
Uh,Japan would like a word with you.

ScaryJerry> Different Megatron.
Devonian> That's what I thought.
More interesting is that in the first movie, the TFs would scan Earthen vehicles in order to disguise themselves. Megatron never really had a chance/inclination to do that, so he retained his Cybertronian space jet form. Fine.
But since he seems to have revived and has a new form, one has to wonder where it came from-- I doubt very much he scanned that here on Earth.
Wait, the bio tells it. Looks like he's made from "cannibalized" parts of Decepticons from the first movie.
Guess that would explain the strange look.
