Courtesy of 2005 Board member AllSpark Ferret we can share for you our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Kingdom Spoiler Pack Megatron & Fossilizer Skelivore.
This is the third War For Cybertron spoiler pack in the market (the first one with Ultra Magnus and the second one with Nemesis Prime). This pack contains a special redeco of the Siege Voyager Megatron and a clear purple Paleotrex. The instructions reveal the name of this redeco: Fossilizer Skelivore. Additionally, there’s a special Matrix accessory that can be attached to Megatron’s chest, the Allspark and some blast effects. Hasbro Pulse UK are shipping this pack right now for lucky UK fans. This pack is a Walmart exclusive in the US and it’s scheduled for release in in August.

SECRET MESSAGE – POSSIBLE SPOILERS, ALERT!
“With the Matrix in hand I can win the Allspark and use it to reshape Cybertron in my image.”
“Take the Matrix… Megatron then the Allspark may it have mercy on you.”

Recently acquired one myself (Minus Skelivore, which I didn’t want) and I have to agree with you. He looks pretty damn good all decked out in his matrix bandolier finery.
GAUGE
Welp! Since there doesn't seem to be a Feedback thread of any kind for this set. I guess I'll shove all my photos here of the one I got from pulse this morning.
Bottom line…
I FUCKING LOVE IT!!! I need more Purple Undead Dinos in my life.
Megs is even better somehow than the other Netflix megs that shares the same exact mold.

Did you go through with this? If so, still have the megatron + matrix bandolier?
For anyone else out there, I’d be happy to take a matrix bandolier off your hands! Hit me up and we can work something out. I’m not against taking Megatron and the Allspark as well, if it’ll grease the deal skids, but the bandolier is my main goal.
Treadshot 2.0
Yeah, that license is gettable, since Mattel has botched literally EVERY reboot so far…. and the supporting media has always been awesome, as have the toys. They just screw up the assortments so they end up with a BUNCH of pegwarmers
WreckAndRoam
if Hasbro isn’t making a tremendous pitch to do just in 2023 that and mattel isn’t making a tremendous pitch to retain the license, they’re both dropping the ball.

MOTU Legends figures would probably sell pretty well. Call it the "Eternia" collection or something.
80sforged
Not quite with MOTU. Right now Universal owns the TV rights, while Mattell has the toys. However, Universal gets the toy rights in 2023. So, Hasbro could technically pitch to do MOTU figures in 2023 if they wanted.
WreckAndRoam
this is true, though jurassic park is as much mattel’s as star wars is hasbro’s. A license for the duration of a contract.
He-Man and Barbie are mattel’s in the way transformers is hasbro’s. Wholly owned.
I think.
WolverineDragon
Too many corporations already have absorb other companies into their ranks, leaving them bloated and little room for competition. Looking at you Disney.
80sforged
I would say that Playmates and Jakks Pacific are bigger than NECA. NECA is probably the biggest of the specifically 'adult collectible' manufacturers.
Fenrys
Doesn't Mattel have the Jurassic Park/World license? Yet Hasbro is doing that crossover figure. Doing a crossover doesn't mean the companies are merging so antitrust laws aren't really at play here
WreckAndRoam
Mostly antitrust laws.
it’s why we’ll never get He Man X Transformers (or barbie’s corvette turning into some Nightbird Barbie).
if Mattel and Hasbro merged before Neca toys starts to outsell one of them, it will be too much of a monopoly to not find itself in antitrust litigation. Too much of the market share.
80sforged
If you really want to be on the nose.

Too bad the face wasn't removable with the 'eater egg' transformation face like MP-36
Cardion
Great…now I want them to make an official "Skelator vs Toy King" spoiler pack. Skelator can be a Skelivore wearing Skeletor's body parts for armor. Toy King can be the Comics Guy figure from the Simpsons in Starscream cosplay.
Think about it y'all. You know you'd buy it.
Radi0ActivSquid
I'm going to assume some have had this Megatron posed for a while. Is there a risk of the bandolier taking the paint on his chest off? I know the blast effects can take paint but I'm not sure about this piece.
Purple Heart
Anybody got a Skelivore for sale? Don’t need anything else from the pack.
TFXProtector
You. …I like you.

It was glorious!

When asked for further comments, theEmpressive only said “NYEEEH!” before ripping apart Skelivore to wear as body armor and charging towards Castle Grayskull at full speed.
theEmpressive
Wait, did I misspell the name of a character that is not part of the fandom I follow, and that I have zero affinity for…? How awful of me, I humbly beg your forgiveness oh proud King of toy knowledge.
Stune
I only want Skellivore, would anyone like just the Megatron and associated accessories from this set?
