7Direct from Toy Fair 2019, we have images of the new Transformers Movie Masterpiece figures. On display are:
- MPM-8 Megatron (Transformers 2007) Showing figures in both modes, accessories and packaging.
- MPM-9 Jazz (Transformers 2007) We have comparison shots next to Megatron, all the accessories (including Sam’s figurine) and a look at the front and back of the box.

He looks good but I'm going to ask the question many ask but never seem to get a straight answer on: why the heck is he posed/transformed all goofy-like?
I get that marketing dudes don't know what they're doing, but surely Hasbro would ensure their products are displayed in an eye pleasing fashion..
Right? I mean, obviously not but why not? Someone please help me understand xD

I'm assuming all big online retailers like EE and also Diamond Distribution, so comic and collectable shops. EE used to have a partnership with TRU. Likely they are getting these, guaranteed.
Amazon is also a candidate.
I bought MPM Bumblebee (Camaro) at Toys R Us a few weeks after they filed for bankruptcy.

I\'m super hyped for Jazz he looks like they took elements from the ha and ss figures and stuck them together and megatron looks beautiful as well
Unicron the Chaos Bringer
That's honestly a really long list, and I doubt takara will get to most of it except Mikaela, the blaster, and his buzzsaw. Since we saw that Takara only includes accessories integral to a character's role in the movies, I doubt much else is gonna be included.

Megatron doesn't seem to look big enough next to Jazz, I was really hoping he would be though.

My accessory wishlist for MPM Ratchet:
Takara Tomy, if you're reading this (probably not); please make this happen. This'll greatly benefit/justify your price range and this is the last 2007 Autobot, make him your best one.
From your friendly overseas buyer;

Amen

At some point, OS KOs can only get us so far. We definitely need MPMs of the entire 07 cast. Takara went in, now they should finish what they started. Might take time, but we are taking refuge among the boards. We are here. We are waiting.

Than i pass on him i’m only going for the MPM line. Or you mean it in a good way? I only had the real wauw with the mpms the other transformers are a bit to much toyish for me.

I also have Bonecrusher and I feel hes more like a Leader class figure than an MPM.
Transvin
I know what you mean i have the same feeling… im also affraid the Bonecrusher by TFDF will be a bit like that or is he really at the MPM like looks and feeling?
tonysandlin
Same for Blackout. The improvements made on it were nice, but it does just look like an OS toy. I expect an MPM to look much nicer and I think it will. I went back and forth on getting that Starscream before finally coming to the conclusion that it doesn't match the MPM in terms of detail and quality. Plus, Starscream should be next if the rumors are true.
I also considered the DF ROTF Megatron, but seeing this MPM Megatron really turned me off from that one. Every shot of MPM Megatron makes me like the design more. Plus the level of detail on it is appropriate for the size of the figure. I never thought I would like this design until the reveal of the MPM.
Transvin
You are right! Forgot about Blackout. Yes we need him also as an MPM. I have for example BMB LS-04 Starscream but the OS figures aren’t as smooth as the mpm figures to me. Not sure the OS black-out is kind of the same?
tonysandlin
Well, he's officially about 6 inches, but I don't know how reliable that information is. That puts him at a couple of centimeters shorter than MPM Bee.
There's also Blackout (and Scorponok) as well. I know we have a pretty decent stand in with WJ OS SS Blackout, but I still want one that's Masterpiece level.
Anyway, Jazz is going to be special for me because the second Transformer I owned in the collection that started it all was HA Jazz. He looks to be such a massive improvement over the HA. In fact, once him and Starscream come out, I will have replaced my 5 original Transformers with MPM's. I'm so excited!
Transvin
Than we only need a Bonecrusher and we’re done
Edit: looking at the photos the tires of Jazz seems to have a strange colour….
fleshling
Disregard. I found the picture that compares him with Deluxe Jazz. Awesome
tonysandlin
I'm hopeful that Starscream is next and that Ratchet and Brawl are 11 and 12. I want nothing more than the complete 2007 movie cast at this point.
Transvin
I am really looking forward to have Jazz in hand! Megatron i will get also and really hoping that they will continue the line for a full movie 1 mpm line!
tonysandlin
Absolutely. It's not even close. The paint, quality, proportions, sculpting detail, cgi accuracy, and articulation are much better than the HA figures.
