Japanese casting manufacturer Castem have announced a new Transformers 40 Anniversary G1 Megatron Stainless Steel Helmet for the Japanese market as part of the Transformers 40 Anniversary.
This an impressive handmade human-size Megatron helmet made of stainless steel (main structure) and plastic (color parts like the eyes). Although it is sized to be worn over the body, it weighs 14 kilos, so you have to use it as an ornamental object.
It will be up for pre-order on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at the Castem Rakuten Market store and at the 40th Anniversary Transformers Exhibition currently being held in Osaka for 165,000 Yen which about $1056.53. This is a made-to-order item.
Update: A production sample of the helmet was on exhibit at the 40th Anniversary Transformers Exhibitionin Japan. Image thanks to @TF_40TH_EXPO on Twitter/X.

"OR?"
You showoff! For me, it'll break BOTH my wallet and my neck. But it'll make something else in me rock hard though. Worth it!

My biggest dog weighs close to 30 pounds.
I can tell you from having her pounce on me it would not be fun to walk around with that on my head

The face and the helmet being the same color looks weird to me.

Looks like a a Beast Wars-era CG render of a Megatron head that would float next to Ghost Starscream to haunt him forever.

Listen, if I want to wear a hat that weighs as much as a dog that’s my choice. You’re not the boss of me.

Not an improvement if it means you can’t wear it

That looks just… creepy. The nose is too wide. And his expression is way too calm, almost like he has brain damage.

Anything more expensive than Robosen Prime has got to have an explanation. This doesn’t.

The full-sized Mega Man helmet for $120 seems like a steal now.
