Third Party company DNA Design, via their Facebook account, have posted up images of a new upgrade kit: DK-34 Upgrade Kit for DK-35P Premium Finish SS-03 Voyager Megatron.
This new kit is a redeco of DNA’s DK-34 upgrade kit for Studio Series SS-54 Megatron to match the new Takara Tomy Premium finish release. It consists of the following new parts:
- New chest piece.
- New extendable arm cannon.
Easy to install and the new parts don’t interfere with the transformation. This kit is expected for release by October 2022.
Check all the mirrored images on this news post and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

I'm glad you got one! Too bad it's not still available on RK. I guess I'll be waiting for a reissue, if one happens.
Thanks for the info anyway, I'll be keeping an eye out.

Yes, eventually. They used to only re-issue once but now have had sets with 2 re-issues.
Edit: Oops, nevermind. Link had 0 stock.

So I ended up getting it from Robot Kingdom which was the ONLY place I could find it back in July maybe a week or two after I posted this. Unfortunately it's OOS there now and I don't see it in stock anywhere else… except a $900 listing on AliExpress. Very sorry… DNA could definitely re-run this in the future but it's still probably too close in time to the original release for that yet. Probably need to give it another year or two…

Bumping to echo this request – regular version's still available most places, but PF has unfortunately disappeared. Does DNA ever restock their kits?
Shadow25
Hey all, does anyone know where I can get the PF version of this kit still? It seems to be sold out everywhere (and one place I found where it said it wasn't sold out was a mistake).

I’ve seen the single arm cannon in another way too in the 2007 video game by TellTale. It looked like his fingers folded up and then a barrel came out of his hands. It was like a mini fusion cannon.

I think the MPM one and the kit are both valid including the Shockwave lab kit.

Simply place the rubber band over the screw head and push your drill or screwdriver into the rubber band while you remove the screw. That's all there is to it. The rubber band fills the gaps in the screw's head and grips the drill bit or screwdriver blade.

Can you elaborate? I don't understand.

Got mine in the mail from BBTS last week, and I just began to install it about an hour ago.
The last screw I need to take out, one in his left shoulder, is partially stripped. What can I do to get it out? Did anyone else have this problem?

Agreed on the shoulder connection tab, although I don’t really feel that the chest is “flat”. BTW this works on the KO as well, although to get a perfect fit you’d need to mod it:

So I got this kit in over the weekend! Overall it is great, it is nice to finally have the correct chest for this guy and it matches the Premium Finish version very well! I do have a few issues though.
In person I feel like the chest has a very broad and kinda flat look to it, something that I feel like pics didn't really show. Its hard for me to put my finger on it, but it looks kinda off to me. Not enough to ruin the set or anything, and maybe its just from me being used to the ROTF chest, but still.
Then the shoulders are annoying. They don't really lock in well and can be annoying to pose, I wish the old connection was used or that it was replicated better because the shoulders locking in for robot mode isn't as secure here.
Otherwise, I'd say this kit is essential for the figure. It fixes the biggest thing, aside from the extremely chunky legs, holding this figure back and it also provides the Fusion Cannon!

Like half the things that come with MP figures were one-off things that were from one episode or scene, and yet they get included. When I had MP Megatron I didn't even take half the accessories out of the box the entire time I owned it, and yet with MPMs you're lucky if you get three things included!

Hope BBTS gets my premium finish chest in soon
VVa
Yep. But I don't mind. It's a one time thing, just like how G1 Megatron's one-time thing was his Energon Flail. And that was included with his Masterpiece.
Shmoptimus Prime
Oh yeah, guess I misremembered. So it really was only that one shot then, huh.
VVa
Just checked. The hand he used for his cannon was in normal hand mode to toss Jazz on the tower.

I think he might have had it deployed when he flew to the top of that building with Jazz under his feet as well. Right before he took two pieces.

Here it is, if you're in need of memory jogging.

Would have looked more crisp if this dumbass site didn't have a limit on file size uploading.

Oh damn, been so many years since I've last seen that movie that I completely forgot he used anything other than the 2-hand version! Thanks for reminding me, that makes me appreciate the single arm version even more
