We have some new prototype images of the Takara Tomy ARTS Mega Drive Megagron courtesy of the Ameba Hobby Shop Blog. The figure is a new mold of the Decepticon leader Megatron that transformers into a Sega Genesis (Sega Mega Drive) console and controller. Check out the new prototype images mirrored below:

The MegaDrive\Megatron name joke is cool - but I feel the toy was a wasted opportunity for a Soundwave with Lazerbeak gamepad and Rumble\Frenzy cartridges.

Totally want this. I really hope BBTS has him for a good price. Anyone have any idea of the size? I'm assuming about the height of the New Era Cap bots.

Is this for real?! I could see myself buying one of these. I also think it would be brilliant as a soundwave though. Who knows maybe down the road we'll get a sound wave NES.

Soundwave can be a Gameboy.

Megatron really should've been a light shooter.

Do we get Starscream as a Master System? Or Galvatron as a version 2 Mega Drive? If anything, Soundwave would make sense as a Nomad.

i would like to see a soundwave as some kind of portable gaming system I.E. a game boy, where the cartridges would turn into his minions.

Courtesy of Japanese site Game Watch, we get a nice look at some further images of the exclusive figure prototype Mega Drive Megatron, and a video showing off the transformation! Also from the site, via Google Translate and some tweaking, is a report of the sessions that have taken place so far, with a somewhat detailed description of the various launches, including Mega Drive Megatron itself. Check them all out below!



Takara Tomy Arts business meeting, a possible variant "Mega Drive Megatron" appeared! And items that can make pudding without breaking the shell, unique products jostling and "motivation button".

(2014/4/16 16:38)

Held April 16, 17

Venue: Sumidasangyoukaikan

April 16, Takara Tomy Arts held a "Takara Tomy Arts, summer business meetings" in Tokyo and Sumidasangyoukaikan. Session lasting until the 17th. This event is intended for the media and distributors, and will exhibit and introduce products Takara Tomy Arts being released between June and September.

It's Takara Tomy Arts deploying a large number of unique items such as "funny series" eat fun food, but greatly push the "purine whole Turn Turn funny egg" that can make a pudding without breaking the shell of the egg this time was doing. We would like to introduce that attempts to challenge that this is a variety in the high spirits of 3 year old children and "motivation button", also a unique feature of the show.

And attention of the biggest business meeting of this time, was introduced before the exhibition of the possible sample variation that variations in Megatron Transformers from mega drive of "Mega Drive Megatron". Since I was allowed to take in a movie where to variations specifically, I'd like a look.

Variant system is finally revealed as "Mega Drive Megatron"

The simple design is reminiscent of the first generation Megatron "Mega Drive Megatron". Toward the launch, that was brush up on modeling of the face part.

"Mega Drive Megatron" is an item that is first exhibited in the 2014 Winter Wonder Festival, has been a great deal of attention. Very cool concept, such as puns early type of Mega Drive was released in 1988, that variations in "Megatron" is the villain of the Transformers, and of realizing in retro somewhere "dark". It's work. At present, price and release date are unconfirmed.

During the business meetings, a possible variant model of mega drive Megatron is exhibited, it was possible to make variations in practice. I seen that the compact body of early type mega drive to expand, continue to transform into robotic waist is drawn. For the prototype, and it will select the material thinking and durability future of this Exhibit.

You have to check the details of the mega drive Megatron again this time, cartridge or are stuck neatly into the chest, three button controller of early type are also included, initial type mega and become wing is 2 Tsuniwaka the deformity at the time It is full of feelings that smile would float unintentionally to anyone who is in contemplation drive. A colored soon, I want to see the mega drive Megatron characters of gold "16-BIT" is shining.

Looks pretty cool, but very floppy. Hopefully the final version will be much tighter.

And that guy didn't transform the feet.

Yah looks cool, but that figure was going to be tough to stand up. #-o

It's a prototype, the final version will probably be much tighter. It might even use different joints.

I kinda wish it was actually the same size as a real Mega Drive, but then it would probably cost a fortune. If they do make a full-sized version (especially if it's actually capable of playing Mega Drive games, which given how simple the Mega Drive is, could be possible) then I'll buy it immediately.

Have we seen the controller turn into anything besides two halves of a controller yet? I was hoping it'd be Laserbeak, but that doesn't seem too likely from the vid.

gotta admit the controller transformation really confuses me. It's kind of like it's there just to justify the controller's existence.
