You still fight for the weak, that is why you LOSE! Mighty Megatron is in the building today with a look at Masterpiece Movie MPM8 Megatron. This is the latest in the Movie Masterpiece series, repping Megatron in his Movie 1 form. He comes packed with arm extension, extending fusion cannon, and Allspark cube. His head features light piping for the eyes and a moveable monster mouth. He’s surprisingly accurate to the movie, you have a hard time telling what you are looking at without a lot of concentration. For accuracy’s sake though, that’s what should have been done and it was. He’s a big piece, standing 12 inches tall with some heft, lengths over MPM4 Prime. Articulation is thorough, allowing for most poses you can think of. Jet mode is solid, accurate to the movie. All in all, if you are a fan of the movies, this is a really good rendition to represent on the shelves with.
We’ve run him through a set of pics, check out over 50 HD shots in the gallery below. We’ve also attached some key shots to this story.
He’s in stock now and shipping from TFSource!

Anyone have image of MEGATRON next to barricade?

Is Megatron bigger than Prime or did they make him bigger?

Man.. looking back, I absolutely hated this design. Seeing it realized in toy form like this has made me take a second look at the design compared to what came after it, and I have to say it may not be my top movie Megatron design but it’s easily a second. They really got the head right with this one, even though it’s not super recognizable like Prime’s is. He is the epitome of the “knives” look the bay films were made fun of for, but dammit something in me has changed since then. Maybe it’s 10 years of designs that were worse than this one that elevates it. Maybe it’s because it’s from the first and arguably the best TF film (of 1-5). Hell I don’t know. But he’s a scary and imposing looking thing. And this figure looks great.
Only question I have is, what’s up with all the gold detailing, and the red bits on the chest? I’ve looked at a ton of those models and I don’t see gold, not that vibrant anyways. And if the red in the chest was meant to evoke the whole “death scene”, they shoulda made it a light up feature so it isn’t blatantly red ALL the time.
Beautiful figure.

You just might get your wish. If we see MPM Starscream at NYCC, then Brawl will be part of a diorama reveal with another mpm next year.

Well if its what you want then I’m happy for you! We’ve all spent money on things other people don’t understand!
I could get behind a Brawl MP if that ever came out!

I'm sure that I won't. I'm incredibly excited for this figure and Jazz as well. I've wanted a good representation of this form for years.

That picture of them standing side-by-side alone makes it a sin the movies never gave them an opportunity for a team-up (or failed to follow through, in DOTM's case).

Insanely good pics as always. Nice job!
SammySaturn
It looks cool and the photos are super top notch, but after watching a video of this guy I\'m not that impressed. He looks so fidgety and looks like he hardly holds together. Plus never been a big fan of MP\'s. But he looks nice to say the less.

Like @jru42287, I also want this. I plan on getting this around the end of September. It’s my least favorite Megatron design, but this Masterpiece figure looks absolutely amazing.

Me.

Lightyears beyond the automorphing original leader class figure. And some great photos.
Livingdeaddan
My thoughts.
Lovely pics, lovely craftmanship!
Terrible design, what a horrible waste of time and talent and what maniac will send MP level money on this!
