Hasbro has sent us official renders of a new Studio Series Leader Class Dark Of The Moon Megatron which will be a Universal Studios Exclusive.
This is basically a gray redeco of Studio Series SS-34 Dark Of The Moon Megatron. The figure sure looks different and we are sure it will be a nice addition to the Studio Series line. It’s good to notice that these renders don’t show Megatron’s cloak or his small partner Igor which were included in the original Studio Series release.
We still have no concrete information on when this figure will be available at Universal Studios, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates! Click on the bar to see the official renders and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Thanks!

Was he ever available at Universal Studios? My understanding was that he was intended as a Universal Studios exclusive, but due to that thing with a C and everything that happened because of it, Hasbro instead made it available via online retailers.

Same thing that happened with N.E.S.T. Bumblebee, except he was never announced as a Universal exclusive because "As Seen In Parks Megatron" was further ahead in development by the time C hit.

I got mine from Robotkingdom a long time ago and has the Universal Studios sticker on it.

This—^ I like this color scheme better and not because it has anything to do with Universal Studios. It's still this character to me and I'd buy it simply because it looks better.

Yes! 100% correct!
I love the youtube videos (there are 3 of them) with Megatron and Jeannine. Google them – they are awesome!

As far as I understand, despite the original intention, this figure was never actually available at Universal Studios because of some obscure event that totally didn't happen in 2020.

I'm in SC and I saw this just the other day at Gamestop. Funny thing is, they were at Target over a year ago then quickly disappeared and now they're reappearing. Must be overstock from the Universal Theme Parks making it's way to standard retail I'm thinking.

I saw one at my local Gamestop the other day and had no idea it was the the Universal version until I double checked lol

On the one hand, it's DotM Megs in basically 2007/RotF/AoE silver, which while totally inaccurate to DotM, it IS accurate to the attraction at Universal Studios, and looks pretty cool. On the other hand, they nixed the tarp, AND upped the price (from $50 to $53, though that's in line with the price hikes on Deluxes & Voyagers), AND the SS34 DotM Megs mold wasn't great to begin with. That's a no from me. If my wife would've had any interest at all in Decepticons, maybe she could get it (she's an ardent Bumblebee & fembot fan), but otherwise, nope…I'm good with SS44.

I would have gone for this if it had the cloak.

Bruh, I can own a toy of the guy who literally wants to kill me at the park? Sweet.

Hhmm I probably in the minority of people that like this color more than the original.
