(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to Fusion Blast Megatron. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of Fusion Blast Megatron here.)

    Megatron certainly lives up to his name, now with an almost entirely all-black color scheme. Luckily, it's not quite THAT boring-- Megatron's main colors are actually two shades of black, a bluish shade and than a more "faded black" shade. They don't exactly contrast, but it's more interesting than a straight black scheme. The light gray and silver provide excellent contrast to the black, though he admittedly is still pretty monochromatic. He does have a few metallic silvery blue paint apps, though, both to give him at least a little color and to hearken to his "icy" nature from the movie. His paint apps on his face are very... odd, though-- it looks like he has black lipstick and mascara on, the way they're arranged.
    No mold changes have been made to Night Attack Megatron.
    Night Attack Megatron is still one of the weakest Fast Action Battler molds, but at least this time he has a good color scheme that isn't so dull. I think another color besides black could've been used as a main color, just to break up things a bit more, but black/silver/gray looks better than just the gray of the original version of this mold.
