(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 the original version of Megatron Megabolt. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of the original Megatron Megabolt here.)

    This version of Megabolt is what I like to call the "technorganic" version. Namely because it kinda resembles what the big head looked like at the end of the last episode of Beast Machines. It's very jungle-y in its nature; forest green and watery blue, with some gold thrown in for good measure. The silver paint apps here and there and the black also help to add to the color scheme. None of his paint apps have changed from the previous version, though, which shows that not much thought was put into that area. In fact, not much thought seems to have been put into the color scheme in general, because although this scheme would have been GREAT for a technorganic Maximal- like, say, Optimus Primal- it just doesn't work on a big futuristic robotic head. I can think of at least a dozen schemes that would have worked well, and the original scheme was much better. (At least they finally stamped a Decepticon symbol over his Vehicon spark crystal this time, though.)
    No mold changes have been made to Megabolt. Yes, he still has those darn floppy knees...
    Megabolt is a very nice toy mold-wise, but the color scheme just doesn't fit the toy this time around. Only recommended if you can't find the original version.
