I hope this is a subtle hint at what an upcoming masterpiece figure would be. Cause there really needs to be a new Reflector toy, and the one that comes with Skrapnel just ain't cutting it.

while im confident i can find the camera seperately, im just looking for a reason to buy this MP05. reflector might be the clincher.

OMG, everyone, you are willing to pay for this old terrible transformer to get a diecast camera? That's a special kind of stupid. All this is is a way to tempt people to buy official, not third party. TakaraTomy, if you want me to buy Masterpiece Megatron, get the v2 Megatron out. A simple concept pic would stop your customers leaving you for the X-Transbots product.

The figure alone is worth the price, the added bonus figure just sweetens the pot! Very nice... My plan is to display my original MP5 in gun mode and this gold pimp taking taking a picture of king grimlock sitting on his throne... Playa!

Oh man, that sounds so BOSS!

Oh and does anyone know what MP 05 was selling originally when it first came out (including import premium at US retail) ?

Just curious, as an MP completionist, do you get both the Hasbro and Takara versions. Like Soundwave for instance, with his different coloured visors.

Also, I didnt realize the camera was Die Cast, thats great!

I still wish they'd done him with a gold torso and arms like the appearence he had in some of the Marvel comics (which I REALLY need to read, especially the UK ones- Target: 2006 I know is widely considered one of the best Transformers comics ever) but I do like this deco. Sadly I can't justify buying this mold- not because I dislike the look, which I actually kinda dig, but because he's fragile and scary to transform (or so I'm told). A shame as the gold looks surprisingly good.

Also the die-cast Reflector is an awesome pack-in bonus and if it ever came out separately I'd buy it. For some reason I always loved Reflector even though I though "applianceformers" were daft. The guy needs more love.

i dont really buy the hasbro MP's unless theyre different (enough) from the takara version, or completely different/new like acid storm. and theres still a handful of MP's im missing. like the dead MP01 and ghost MP03.

I have MP 03 Ghost and he is so very fragile with that plastic that I ended up breaking his arm soon after I got him. He still rocks in Jet mode and looks phenominal with that plastic so it's not a total loss. But fair warning, this fagil figure becomes even more fragile.

I'm a 'post-MP08 completionist'.

I pick up absolutely everything MP-related that Hasbro and Takara put out, and if it's an MP10 mold or later, I do so in doubles.

Right now that only thing I'm missing is that Bathing Ape MP10... I want it so bad...

The only thing MP-05 is good for is alt mode display and even that is crap without the stock and silencer. Maybe you can still find that third party accessory kit for it somewhere. It really does make all the difference. You are right, me not liking it is my opinion, however the reason I don't like it is all based in fact. Fact 1. It is fragile and can barely hold itself up. Fact 2. The fusion canon is massively over-sized in gun and robot mode. Fact 3. He is vastly over balanced with the gun arm that he is so hard to get into any kind of pose. Fact 4. The head sculpt is terrible. It looks nothing like Megatron, though the character had very little inconsistency with his head design in the show. It still never looked like that. Fact 5. The legs are so thin that it looks like this is the skeleton of Megatron. Fact 6. It takes so long to transform him due to so much kibble. Getting the arms out of the chest is so scary. Fact 7. He is prone to "cosmic rust" damage to his feet.

You really can tell that the MP-05 mold was rushed out of the door. Why they didn't allow more time for the design? I'm an MP collector too but I only buy repaints that are different characters. Special colours or transparent plastic versions aren't worth the cash that can be spent on other, new characters.

That green MP-10 is indeed great looking. However, that 1000$ price thag gave me a heart attack!

Also, Will, about MP-03G being fragile, you were either unlucky or clumsy. I transformed mine at least 10 times back and forth and he never broke. No stress marks either. Because you paid yours for so cheap because he was pre-owned, maybe the previous owner IS the clumsy one and he "pre-broke" that arm for you.

I am not that clumsy. I am sure it was loosened by the previous owner. Case in point, my MP Megatron was new and I transformed him a bunch of times, without the instructions and he is still standing strong, as the picture below will show.

Oh, and to the guy who pointed out all the factual flaws (though some are opinions, like the point of view on the legs for instance), can you really tell me this doesn't look awesome?

I too, find MP-05's legs to be way too thin. It's his only fault actually. The rest don't look too bad.

The fact that I still don't have a MP-05 is not really a price issue. It's mainly that for the ammount it cost, there is way too much expensive TFs that I want instead.

Posted by Trikeboy on October 31st, 2014 @ 11:21pm CDT
Here's the thing, MP-05 is a reminder that TakaraTomy didn't take the Masterpiece line seriously until MP-10 came out. I have all of the Masterpiece toys from 1 through 20. Hisashi Yuki has even stated MP Megatron was at prototype stage in just 12 days. Looking back, I really don't like the dircetionless "lets do that" direction of the pre MP-10 figures.

Optimus Prime is ok but the sheer number of them is ridiculous. As someone that is not a fan of white Optimus as Ultra Magnus, you can probably guess my feelings about MP-02. Starscream, and by extension Skywarp and Thundercracker were looking so good until they added those waist pieces to look like scabbards. They themselves know that because the MP-11 mold is pretty much what we would have got had they not done. MP-04 Optimus Prime "With New HAT!!!!" for those that wanted to buy the toy again to get a trailer and who didn't buy the third party trailer. Megatron is the worst of them. Maybe if they spent more time on him we would have gotten a better toy. Grimlock, oh how they got that one so close. The mold is great, the transformation is fun but why oh why was he so damn short. I know this came in during a financial crisis in Japan but he just didn't fit in. He is passable in the new line. Rodimus Prime is a bad mold that came in two versions, and a Hasbro version before they got it right with the evil one. Bad connectors, not able to hold his gun, paint scraping, the hands. Oh what a shame. He does still look the part next to MP-10 though.

MP-10 is when Masterpiece got good and worth collecting. Rereleasing MP-05 is a step back in time and since the designers are changing back, this also isn't surprising. If you like MP-05, great. I just want an evolution and consistency to Masterpiece and this gold version has no place in my collection.

I dunno, the MP Grimlock toy seemed like it had a lot of care that went into it. The designer (can't recall which it was, I'll have to look that up later :oops: ) even said he went as far as to seek inspiration for its T-Rex neck/tail gimmick from the Beast Machines Rattrap toy, which sounds like he cared a lot about the project if he went as far as to seek out a gimmick from a completely unrelated and nearly irrelevant (by today's point in time) toy.

And for MP Rodimus, the developers were inspired by the engineering from Animated Rodimus Minor. Also, I woulf din it very hard not to notice any love that went into MP 01

I already said MP-01 and MP08 are decent, did I not? I believe I said the mold for Grimlock was great, the problem is the size when standing next to MP-01 and MP-05.

Edit, also, if TakaraTomy had released the pic below, would you honestly pick a gold MP-05 over a new v2 Megatron? I'm not going to turn this into a 3rd party discussion. This is all I'll say on that figure. If this was from TT, people would be jumping through the roof in excitement.

I never really liked the MP Megatron. Seeing it in gold really doesn't help, especially with the face still grey. I only have the first Masterpiece Optimus (the toys r us 25th anniversary edition I believe). I REALLY want more of the MP line, but I can't afford figures like that. Though one I REALLY want is MP Grimlock (any version) so I can stick him on the shelf where I put all my Classics/Generations/Universe/Reveal The Shield Autobots

That was partially in jest. I say "partially" because my sleep-deprived brain somehow completely skipped over that eBay listing.
Has anyone else bought one of those test shots? If so, does it have the same die cast pieces as the original? Thanks!

It just seemed like not too long ago we received news of a gold reissue of Masterpiece Megatron. Now, Seibertron.com member and renown reviewer optibotimus has his hands on this reissue and gives us his thoughts! The review has been mirrored below:



Is this figure worthy of your collection? Or are you passing in the hopes of a second go at the Decepticon leader! Tell us your thoughts in the Energon Pub forum!

Definitely a pass for me! I don't see a reason to go for the same out of scale,fragile mishap in ugly gold color!
Instead I will pick and give a chance to the MX-I Apollyon
