The highly anticipated Transformers Studio Series SS-109 Leader Class Bumblebee Movie Concept Art Megatron was available for sale at Singapore Comic Con 2023, and it didn’t take long for us to get our first in-hand images of this figure.
Thanks to 2005 Boards member Jhund and Instagram user @joanne_ying79 we have clear shots of Studio Series Bumblebee movie Megatron. Robot mode has got presence and a wide articulation range which includes butterfly joints. We have comparison shots next to several Studio Series toys which let us see that Megatron is quiete a big Leader class figure as tall as Studio Series DOTM Shockwave. We also have some extra images in his Cybertronian tank and jet modes.
Update: Additional images of tank and space ship alt modes thanks to 2005 Boards member Jhund

To be honest, I'm not too fussed about the sword and back cannon. But aside from that, he's practically perfect in every way as Mary Poppins would say.

Fuck that's cool

He is definitely my favorite official Megatron. He's the only one that to me captures the proportions of the G1 Cartoon Megatron. He's not too bulky, but still looks imposing. He poses great, and to me at least the alt modes are both fun. I bought a sword and back cannon for him, but don't feel the need to change anything else about him. And I like his face sculpt, despite not being a popular opinion.

It seems to be purely aesthetic. I keep it flared out in bot mode, for a bit of extra "texture," but it's gotta be collapsed for alt mode. My best guess is that the mysterious concept art we still haven't seen has a flared panel on the cannon like that, and with the Leader budget, they were able to fit in a moving piece for that relatively minor detail

I don't know about you lot but I think I have a new personal favourite that'll replace dark master. To me at least, I feel like this guy is just a perfect culmination of all of the past elements of Megatron.

The live action esthetics

The flashbacks of the classics era toyline
And the G1 feel
Everything all in one wonderful package. It also reminds me of a time back when my granny and grandad were still alive, which has now convinced me that the Bumblebee movie Megatron is now my favourite incarnation for him as well as the movie being my favourite version of the bots and cons.View attachment 30534642 View attachment 30534643 View attachment 30534644 View attachment 30534645 View attachment 30534646 View attachment 30534647 View attachment 30534648 View attachment 30534649 View attachment 30534650 View attachment 30534651 View attachment 30534652

Maybe it's for reloading every time he fires?

Gonna pop into this thread rq: Has anyone figured out the purpose of that moveable piece on the butt end of the cannon. Ofc the instructions don't say jack about and clearly it's intended to move since there's a whole click and a groove for it to move into an outer position. Ig it was remnant of an earlier prototype of the fig?
Chase Smite
As someone who loves landscape photography with Transformers, this is pure perfection.

To quote James May: Oh cock.

*Jeremy Clarkson voice* Oh, fuck, I can’t believe you’ve done this.
I even tried filing down the peg on the blaster/back cannon to avoid this exact problem.

It's not a stable connection at all, just letting you know. But here's how to get him in there. You use his side skirts and make sure Optimus backpack is folded down.

How do you connect the back of optimus to megatron? I didn’t figure out any tab can work here?

I just got SS109 last week and ordered the Toyhax labels and I'm in love. I still have both custom heads coming in some time in the next few days, but until SS86 Megs comes out this is my Megs.

Am I the only one who thinks that the Bumblebee movie Megatron pleases both camps, with one camp for the jet mode and the other for the tank mode? Because that's been on my mind lately and to be honest, I believe it. View attachment 30446726

Got him a few days ago and I'm kinda saddened by the lack of an ab crunch since he'd benefit SO much from one. It'd bump him from A tier to S tier easily

The inevitable outcome of how many fan modes this thing has. Now we just need one done up as RID Megs.
