We’ve gotten a pretty good look at what to expect from Optimus Prime’s appearance in Transformers, but till now all we’ve seen of Megatron is his extremely ugly head.

Well now TFW2005 has posted a full-frontal, full-body picture of Megatron and let me tell you… his body looks even worse than his head. Seriously, he looks like some artist nightmare. It’s an extremely accurate depiction of the Shrike, from Dan Simmons’ brilliant, but completely unrelated science fiction novel “Hyperion”. What were they thinking?

I’ve posted a smaller version of the Megatron pic below, along with a second image of a different robot, the Decepticon Barricade. The one on the left is Megatron, the one on the right is Barricade. For high-res versions of both images, click over to TFW2005.
