Via actionfigureinsider.com, we have our first proper look at the new officially licensed Super 7 San Diego Comic-Con 2019 Exclusive Super Cyborg Megatron.

This is a 12″ poseable Megatron figure featuring his iconic Fusion cannon and removable chest plate and casted in crystal clear plastic with painted inner torso, and packaged in a deluxe window box. The perfect match for the previously released Super Cyborg Optimus Prime which was a San Diego Comic-Con 2018 exclusive.

Super Cyborg Megatron will be available at San Diego Comic-Con 2019 at booth #2543 for $75.00. We also expect this item to be made available for purchase at other future conventions in 2019 as well as the Super7 online store.

under San Diego Comic Con, Transformers Masterpiece

Autobots, Transform and Bust Ghosts!  The MP-10G Masterpiece Optimus Prime Ecto-35 Edition is in the house and we have a rapid fire gallery for him today.  Hasbro sent through an early copy of the Ghostbusters themed MP Optimus set to drop at SDCC next month and we ran him through a round of base shots to show off his new look.  Key points include a new Ghostbusters themed red and white deco on the figure and trailer, proton pack accessory which attaches to the trailer and the figure’s back, new molding on the gun to take the wires from the proton pack, a green colored Matrix of Leadership, ghost trap topper for Roller, and a fully painted Slimer accessory.

The proton pack is very similar to the one that comes with Ectotron, but has slight molding changes to include the blue light bar.  Slimer is the same mold as the Ectotron version, but has full multi-color paint rather than being translucent.  The capper for Roller is a single piece and snaps into place over the existing roller mold.  Aside from all this, it’s the MP-10 figure we all know and love in new colors.  Which are sharp, the red/white/green/gray/black combo really looks good on Prime.

All in all, it’s an epic piece, and when coupled with Ectotron is a cool little display area that homages the 80s something fierce.  Perfect for a convention exclusive.  He’ll be up for sale at SDCC at the Hasbro booth, with copies going to Canada Fan Expo after that, and then online at Hasbro Pulse in limited quantities later in the summer.

Read on to check out our first round of pics, we’ll try and get some additional shots done over the course of the weekend!
