Well it’s about time! Justitoys has new pictures on their website featuring the stock and silencer (in package) for MP Megatron. The great news is that it’s “Ready to ship”

The packaged set called - MP5 Upgrade Package, features replica extensions, which transform into Megatron’s Particle Beam Cannon. The upgrade package also includes two new black leg plates, which will replace MP Megatron’s present leg plates. The leg plates are rumored to be made of die-cast metal to give the figure a more weighted feel. The leg plates also feature a tweaked mold which allows the stock extension to attach in gun mode.

*Note the new molded leg plates.

Sounds like a cool add on extension set.

Too bad it cant get rid of the rusty feet.

Very cool none-the-less... I'd just like to see more pictures of the final project!


if you scroll over the back of the box pic it shows the gun mode,

but if the leg plates are dye cast im dreading how much this might be

I'm so tempted to buy this, but I'd kick myself if Takara then announces- their "Perfect Edition" with bonus features.

My thoughts exactly. It'd be nice if they not only made the figure cooler and more complete but fixed that rust problem too.

What I'd love to see is a "Perfect Edition" Ultra Magnus with a transformable trailer that becomes his body armor.

The only other thing I would have hoped with this kit is that they would have included the Japanese Megatron's original silver sword and rifle. Becuase that seems to be the only thing missing now, and Boy those would be cool.

For soem reason I really like Megs with a true sword, and not just the beam dagger. :)

I don't think I'd want to deal with the hassle of importing Megatron again. :?

You know, I bought the MP-01 trailer upgrade that JustiToys released like a year or so before the official Takara version came out, and at first I was pissed when MP-04 was released... but then I was like, you know what... These guys did almost as good a job as the real company... a YEAR in advance... plus it displays on the shelf and for me, the trailer alone is good enough. Sure, it doesn't unfold into the command deck, but Takara couldn't figure out a way to include Roller... so it still wasn't "right" in my opinion. The only trailer I've seen so far that WAS right is the upscaled G1 Prime trailer WITH Roller, but those puppies sold out fast, and they're much longer too.

I commend JustiToys for taking it upon themselves to make Megatron right when Takara dropped the ball the first time. It looks amazing. And if it's anything close to the quality of the Prime trailer, they've got my money. I may wait to get it to see a review or 2 first, since the biggest thing I'm hoping for is the metal leg additions. Anything to keep Megs posed WITH his cannon without him stooping sideways or doing a split would be well worth it to me.

Although I will probably only attach them in gunmode once or twice just to say I did it, I still really want it just so Megs feels "complete". And I'd sleep in my dorkbed a lot happier at night. :D

Can Megatron's weapon separate from his hand? Because in all of the pictures he is seen with weapon attached.

Yes it can detach. But keep in mind (this goes for anyone else new here) this is just an add-on kit for Takara's MP-05 Megatron figure. It only comes with gunstock, silencer, and replacement leg parts for Megatron. Megatron only came with the scope part of the accessories shown here.

I'm interested in this kit, especially hearing about the replacement leg pieces. Not sure if I'll be able to afford it, but I'm interested.

The set looks awesome. The only problem i have with these pictures is that it appears that even Justitoys has neglected to clean off the rust from Megs. I need to soon. It just looks sad. Luckily his feet are well hidden behind Prime's lifeless corpse on my shelf >=)

Posted by HighPrime on September 18th, 2007 @ 4:10pm CDT
blah... not excited about this at all. This falls under the "accessories you'll never use" category for me... it's already a chore to transform him into a gun.. then to add on these components... look at them for a few minutes, then change megatron back... no thanks..

The Prime trailer was barely justified as a purchase for me, as it is.

Posted by darockk on September 18th, 2007 @ 9:05pm CDT
This is really cool. I only wish that they had included a smaller scaled down version of the scope so that we can actually pose Megatron in robot mode without him falling over. The official Mp-05 scope is ridiculously large. This smaller scope could also employ a laser sight into it rather than just a red light.

but none of this really affects me - i can't even get my hands on mp-05 because im in australia and it's banned. :-x

Does this include a seat like the original Gun Robo Walther man and early Megatron had that allows a Diaclone or GI Joe figure to sit and target the cannon?

I've waited to see this pics since the first day the existance of this upgrade was anounced.

:-?

I've already pre-ordered it, and so far it's looking great :)

We should see pictures of Megatron with the upgrade accessories attached. Also, Megatron using the scope as his arm cannon.

Justitoys doesn't sell to consumers; only wholesalers and retailers. If you want the MP Upgrade you'll need to go through an online retailer like BBTS or TFsource.com

Mmm, I'm on the fence here. I really don't see the point unless you have a second Megs that you want to keep in gun form. As someone else pointed out, if it came with a lighter, more in scale scope, I would have gone for it.

I'm also partial to the red on Megs legs. HOwever, if the additional weight on the legs makes him a lot more poseable, I'd probably in. I do doubt it though.

The replacement leg parts are the outer black pieces, which attatch by ball joint. So the red parts will stay intact. :)
