Courtesy of 2005 Boards member Phamduc we can share our first in-hand images of the new Masterpiece Movie MPM-08 Megatron for your viewing pleasure.
This new incarnation of Megatron (from the Transformers 2007 movie) is one of the most detailed Masterpiece figures to date. A real improvement in engineering and movie-accuracy compared to the first Leader Class Megatron toy from 2007. Phamduc shared some comments about the figure, here you are some highlights:
- Impressive sculpt of Megatron’s complex design and details.
- The All Spark cube included can fit into Megatron’s chest in order to recreate his final moments in the movie.
- The backpack of the figure compress the wings better than the old Leader class toy.
- Excellent articulation. The feet has both ankle tilt and also forward/ backward movement which makes easy to recreate poses from the movie and the promotional material.
- The “chain” of the battle maze is made of soft plastic. Not bendable, sorry.
- MPM-08 Megatron is even taller than MP-36 G1 Megatron, opening the gates for more really big characters in the Masterpiece movie line.
- Alien jet mode is huge. The legs are now placed in the rear part of the alt mode and not under the wings like the first Leader class toy.
The new Masterpiece Movie Megatron is sure a tempting piece for any live-action movie collector. Click on the bar now to see all the mirrored images on this news post and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

MPM Megatron is shelf warming in my local TRU with all the other MPMs. Not saying they’re bad figures but maybe TRU are ordering too many or the demand in my area is low. There are something like 19 Jazz figures which I think is high!
Anyway I’ve been waiting for Megs to go on clearance because I find $230+tax CAD to be high. I noticed last night that Amazon Japan had the Takara version for $130 CAD shipped to my door which is less than $100 USD. And it would have been even cheaper for U.S. citizens because you lucky people don’t pay import taxes. I decided to sleep on it. Today I checked and the price went up to $174 CAD. Apparently Amazon Japan had a Cyber Monday sale on yesterday. I had no idea that AJ had Cyber Monday sales and that Takara figures would be included in the sale.
So I recommend checking AJ next year on Cyber Monday!

Wow, that was quite a while ago. I grabbed it from The Chosen Prime right before the mass retail release (TRU).

It was warped after an extended time tucked in robot mode, if you need any more details.
crazee928

There's this time the nosecone plastic on my copy got bended but after a while it just automatically warp back to its natural position.
crazee928
ugh, bendy plastics got my tip all warped. got it from aj, this seems too small to send back but the ocd in me is hating this crooked tip.

and whoever designed those side ankle tilts should be ashamed, either you have the feet flat, or unclipping the ankle rocker makes it tilt too much, with nothing in between. mine also leans back, and the forward ankle tilt is not ratcheted, so standing him upright isn’t as stable. i don’t know, despite the mp/mpm line becoming more and more advanced, little nuances like this is starting to turn me off.

Sayan Rahman
Not gonna lie, a bit disappointed no one did a role reversal for StarScream’s and Megatron’s abusive relationship

Ugh, the paint texture on prime and bee looks so bad. I prey Ratchet won't look anything like that. Speaking of which, I hope he's as good as these screenshots:
