They are around if you know where to look. And his identity is confirmed.
It's Megatron. He's got a big tarp that's like a cloak that goes over his head and one arm--which is *actually* kind of a really cool idea. Like Megs is ashamed at his loss. Presumably, Shockwave will arrive on Earth and either kill him or rebuild him.

Aw shit, we finally saw the robot mode? There was this big thread last night with only the vehicle mode pictures, and people spent most of the time debating what scale it was (I think it's a Voyager). Still
Megatron, that's pretty cool. A lot of people were suspecting that. I'll keep an eye out for it.
EDIT: Okay, saw the pics. This actually looks kind of badass. I especially like the removable hood he's got going on in robot mode, and frankly I think that
Megatron having a truck mode to match up with Optimus is pretty awesome.
I really hope the tarp parts are actual fabric on the inevitable Leader version. That would be tits.

I'm not in love with it, but there's some neat things going on. I do like how the tarp gets used in robot mode, that's kind of clever. And it does look miles and miles better than the other Movie Megatrons, but still, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna pass on this one.
But to be honest, I'll probably pass on most of the movie toys again this round.

The way Megatron's face looks on the figure, I think he's still damaged from when Optimus shot half of it off at the end of RotF. I think that's the purpose of the tarp, to cover the damaged section of his face. Personally, I'm liking this version of Megatron. Although I'm hoping they'll be making a Leader Class version.

Yeah, I'd bet he's still all goofed up from Optimus kicking his ass earlier. Though, you'd think that changing forms would fix him up some. Worked for Bumblebee. As far as a Leader-Class toy goes, I'd almost say that's certain.

What do you mean it worked for Bumblebee? His robot form wasn't fixed up when he changed alt modes...

But his altmode had all kinds of paint scratches and damage to it.

True, but so did the original car that he had scanned.

Exactly. 'Bee had scanned an old broken down camaro, so that's what he was. When he scanned a new camaro, that's what he became.
Changing his alt mode had nothing to do with his own condition though.

Er, we don't *know* that. The TFs have been on Earth as early as the 1900s or so with Megatron--maybe Bumblebee arrived on Earth in 1978 and has been hiding on Earth the entire time?
I mean, you could point to some comic that says otherwise but we all know those aren't Movie Canon.
