Also in Movie toy related news, we have a look at the soon-to-be-released Takara-Tomy Mall exclusive Nightmare Megatron. This limited edition recolor of Revenge of the Fallen’s Leader class Megatron is coming in a Dark of the Moon box, with the window nicely showing off the toy in all his glory. He’s expected for a December release, but as this image from Action Robo’s Facebook demonstrates, some retailers in Asia are already getting their stocks in.

I suppose that ROTF Prime has had many, many different versions. There's the vanilla, HftD, Buster, Buster-from-the-two-pack, Jetwing, Amazon Jetwing, Striker and Ultimate. With Megatron the original or the black Shadow Command redeco.

I sold my MISB Leader Megatron from ROTF for..well, let's just say the auction winner paid me triple of what I paid. I was floored.
The fandom might hate it (at least what you read here) but there is an obvious demand for ones in great shape. Not surprising…what's surprising is my ROTF Prime barely broke even on its auction. I couldn't believe it.

Obviously you don't know how much the ROTF Leader goes for nowadays on the Japanese market.
GizmoTron
Yes. It would be nice to have a leader Megatron with a premium paint job.

People care about this?

I.have the premium version (silver paint on grey plastic instead of blue) of movie one leader Megatron + ROTF leader in grey as well but I find the chrome here oddly Appealing. The lavender however is apauling

Hrm and DOTM boxes to boot. This release just gets stranger…

lol, action robo. What a joke. They don't honor their sales.

I'm amazed that this is still happening.
MightyMegs
I can't believe they're still giving him that little baby arm
Starscream Gaga
He looks awesome! It's a shame about the price.
…Odd that he's in Dark of the Moon packaging instead of Movie Advanced, Lost Age or even Darkside Moon…

In package

I have no idea why this exists. Granted, it looks way better than any previous version of the mold, but it's still a mess and not accurate to anything.

I was waiting for APS to do another release of leader class megatron but was hoping they would improve on the mold. Quite frankly i agree with so many others who say the mold is a disappointment (especially that stubby arm).
It would be nice if they did like APS01U and released an Ultimate Megatron with some upgrades.

This seems EXTREMELY late to the party…

He was selling on the cheap back in 10 for 25 dollars and I passed.
Not a great mold at all and it still isnt imo.

Maybe it's nothing more than the colors but I see Skullgrin now, not Megatron.

Isn't this figure much like the MP moviebots? I don't get it…a bit of extra paint, and all the sudden the hate for the ROTF Megatron leaves the building. I own him but can't say he's my fave, but it wasn't until I read the horrible reviews here that I found out just how unpopular this mold was.
So it surprises me to see actual GOOD stuff about this guy…even though he looks like a repaint of sorts. The price is too high but there you have it. In a way, I don't think Megatron was ever developed into the bad guy he should have been. But then, if I were to start picking apart the Baymovies, all I'd have are a piles of scabs. Grosssssss!

The reason i need a LC Megatron is his the only one im missing from my Movie Leader class and human alliance display. I was actually waiting for the APS series to do it, voyager is to small if im gonna add it.
