Thanks to 2005 Boards member DevastatorPredaking for sharing our first image of the XM Studios Premium Collectibles Megatron Statue in our forums.
The image surfaced via XM Studios Facebook. This render shows a very detailed battle-damaged Megatron. While being easily recognizable as G1 Megatron, the design and proportions are very stylized, bringing a fresh modern look to the ruthless Decepticon leader. The Facebook post shares this caption: “The Autobots robbed me of my victory, but they have not seen the last of Megatron. I shall be …… such sweet sorrow”.
This is not the first full licensed statue that XM Studios has brought to the market. We had informed about their Generation 1 Optimus Prime And Starscream Statues before. You can check out the videos of these items here.
No price or release date for this statue yet. Be sure to come back to our forums when information is available. Youca can click on the bar to check out the mirrored images on this news post, and then share your impressions at the 2005 Boards.
The Mad Demobot
Slight oddball bump, but it seems like word of the new head just vanished. Even if you were to look at the page where he's listed, the new head's not there.
Music
They must have heard the complaints since that is much better. It's a little terrifying even.
Retroheavy
looks like they updated the portrait for this guy.

You are right. XM does not have the license to sell in the US or Europe, for that matter. One can only resort to 'intermediary' stores like Speculative Fiction. Collectors need to do what needs to be done to get our fav pieces…
The Mad Demobot
US – Not Available. Fudge, but that is a legit head for Megatron.
Now if someone can make a toy out of that statue that will be grrreat.

Hot, damn. That new head is incredible!
I liked the older one, but that one is even better. It's really nice to see XM studios was listining to feedback and took it into account.
Haywired
Yup. The second head is purdy.
SPLIT LIP
That new head is awesome!
StellarJet
Many of us agreed that the original face of this statue did not actually look like the 'Megatron' we know and love…
So it looks like XM has listened to TF fans …

'Bucket Head' they said… 'Sinister Smile' they said… 'Higher Cheek Bones' they said… 'I'd buy it if it comes with a second head!' they said…
So THANK YOU, here's the PO link https://www.xm-studios.com/products/megatron.aspx Tee Hee!
Every purchase from this post onwards contributes a cookie and coffee to Marthin Agusta Simny who rushed this extra head out for us despite his busy schedule. Thanks Bro!

Great design but the face absolutely breaks it. Should be slimmer and with more pronounced cheek bones. Much sharper features. This one looks somewhere between the movie Hulks or Apocalypse.
The rest of the sculpt easily could be a Travisformer Megatron…

…this is a cool-looking interpretation, but i wish his actual face was shaped more like megatron rather than some random lunk in really good cosplay…

XM said that Soundwave and Glock are in the works. Was in Bryan Tan video. He's the owner of XM.
