Courtesy of our very own 2005 Boards member whitewolfe313 we can share for you some in-hand images of the new Transformers G1 Megatron Modern Icons replica helmet.
Orinally scheduled for release in August 2021, this helmet is finally shipping for all of those patient fans who pre-order it. We have a closer look at the helmet showing off his LED eyes, the impressive finishing and painting and the detailed interior.

I want to do a HumanFormers cosplay for Megatron and am feeling a bit lazy for the helmet. Is it possible to disassemble the helmet and remove the face part? Does anyone have any decent pics of the inside? If I have to 3d print or make it out of foam I can do that. I'd just rather not reinvent the wheel if I can help it.

I'm templating whether or not I should just buy this and then build the rest of the character myself. Molding a shape for a helmet, especially for a full head, is not very easy. I can probably do the limbs, but no idea what material to use.

Never mind. Found a GameStop with one in stock. Traded mine and new one is fine.

can you (or anyone that bought megatron helmet) confirm if yours has the same issue mine has. been bugging me more and more now (probably due to shelf its on makes it show up real badly) if megatrons outer helmet fits nice and flush or has quite a gap in fitting. maybe gap is wrong word but it won't fit together on mine how I think its supposed to. I tried pinching it really hard but it just won't snap in. see picture for what I am talking about.

Mine seem fine. But then, I preordered mine and picked them up in store.

so all of you that bought the megatron helmet did yours arrive in good shape? I bought the soundwave and megatron helmets and mine were either store display models or returns as they were both already opened and both damaged. Megatron looks good on outside but looks like freddy kruger got in a fight on the inside on one side. not even sure how that could of happened, deep gouges.
the soundwave had cracked lenses and shoddy paint. I am sending that one back for replacement.

Had done the same. wanted to get everyone else the opportunity on here before they disappear or go off sale too. Hopefully they make more cool ones but don’t know how well they are selling.
also anyone that uses discover card, you can use your points to buy game stop gift cards and get an extra 10% added to them. (Note: you can’t just buy the cards and get that deal, has to be bought with the earned points).

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered Megs and SW. Already have OP.

Prime, Megatron, and soundwave helmets are 15% off right now and all are in stock. Soundwaves pre order disappeared and then came back already in stock.
Megs
Wow. I didn't order this due to how limited my space is and the hefty price but seeing more pictures makes me really want it. Tempting.
MnemonicSyntax
LMAO. Niiiiiice.

Still might happen if it is and IDW commercial.

It's subtle (and a PITA to mask, so I know why they didn't do it). But I gave Megatron his black eyebrows and forehead detail. I opted not to go full uni-brow though.
MnemonicSyntax
Dang, I was hoping he and Snuggles could do a team-up commercial together.
cj37a
Its doing its job then. Megatron is not supposed to be a Teddy Bear.
