How i would fix the hype:
- Decrease locking range further
- Change mid slot to low slot
- Decrease signature
- Reduce mass
- Change Rep bonus into mwd cap size bonus like on the vindi OR cap booster size reduction while in cargo bonus OR just a cargo size bonus.
- Add 25m3 drone bay
- Add 1000 to 1500 pg
Considering this thing is supposed to cost 170 mill-ish isk, it should be better then a tier 2 tbh... Looks alone arent worth the extra 60 mill 
Now Hype is better then mega, but cant go long range forcing it to be a short/med range ship while the mega can can go both, but less efficient though with a cheaper price tag.

how about % 5 damage %5 rof ? too much cap?
Rof would be bad, blaster ships are going to be running out of cap boosters more often, higher rof means more cap usage means your fight ends even earlier.

Honestly, Joshua, all that would accomplish is relegate the Megathron to strict fleet use, where it will be lacking with the new Rokh. You can't refit in-flight, have to refit in station, which means people will have the Hyperion as a blaster boat, and train Rokh as fleet ship. Megathron won't be used.
As it is right now, you've got two ships stamping on each other's feet. They're good at the same thing, but slightly differently good at it. Not big enough different to merit deeper thought on the subject (just chose one of the bloody things and fit it like a blaster boat and you'll do fine).
In the end, the problem is that both ships are blaster boats and that the Hyperion fails miserably at being inventive. It's a Megathron Mk.II, which is the problem (everyone knows that with Gallente designs it won't be good until Mk.V at which point it'll be seriously overpowered)
-1 low slot, +1 mid slot, -2 turrets, +2 to 4 launchers
+150 CPU, -1,000 PG
remove tanking bonus
add dampener bonus
And there you have it, a new shiny exciting Gallente ship that doesn't stomp anyone on the foot, is decidedly dangerous, but doesn't outdamage the Megathron. An alternative is to remove the turret bonus and do nothing with the hardpoints and powergrid.
180 mill for something an Arazu can do while its being an uber scout? Sure it would be the logical thing to do but boring too. Sure Gallente could use a sensor damp bs but it should cost the same as a scorp.
Plus id rather see such an awesome looking ship become a blastership.

75 m3 drone bay (-) , more speed 10 m/sec more total 145 m/sec (+)
Being a solo ship drones are VERY important. Theyre the diffrence between getting killed by 3 cruisers and a battleship because of that a blackbird and killing them all because getting jammed didnt stop 5 t2 berserkers from molesting it.

but being a blaster ship must have disadvantages like that dont you think so?
i say devs should thinking increase pg so neutrons or ions could fit easily then hype could pawn ships easily while other dangers remains still.like they say: No pain no gain
Tbh 10m/s extra isnt worth the drone, hell, 50 ms extra isnt worth the drone. I've never problems getting my bthron into range, its like a train, it takes a bit to get going but once its on a roll the only thing stopping it will be another train.
Id be more then happy to have its base speed set to 125 if it means 5 heavy drones.

2x Heavy injectors
And where are the cap boosters gonna be coming from? You cant even carry enough to last a single booster an entire fight... let alone two of em...
