Are we going to see the pattern completed with an MP Grimlock early 2018?

shouldnt have told me this right now

Aside from scale, I thought there were issues with the original Megatron and Rodimus that made the refresh necessary, for lack of a better word. I don't have either, but I got that sense from following the forums. I do have MP Grimlock and again, aside from scale, it's wonderful, which I believe is an opinion shared by many. Wouldn't that make it less likely that it'll get refreshed?

I considered all of this thennnnn just decided to get the Scoria boots for him to even out the height discrepancy for 20 bucks.
I have always been happy with dino mode but bot mode was lacking in height.
Especially on the same shelf as U.Magnus, D.Magnus and S.Saber, he seemed too small;
Grimlock should never be short sold in a lineup, to me
So unless the new speculative version is off the wall in comparison, good luck to all but I can't justify the pony up.....yet, lol

amazing

I want it but I'm worried about U.S. regulations (unless we get lucky and they sell it here) and how expensive it might be.

Let's see, the gun and sword from the movie are included, on top of the mace. The mind control helmet, as well as the Key to Vector Sigma, are thrown in for laughs. Oh yeah, the stock and extension can do all the Gun Robo/Microman stuff. This is already a contender for figure of the year in 2017.

Thank you, Loopaza.

Takara seems a little confused..

All the characters up to MP-28 had tamographed classic symbols.

#29 had no tampos, just stickers of both "cartoon" insignias and classic symbols.

#30 once again tampo of the classic symbol.

#33 & #35 tampos of the classic symbols on the chromed bumpers, and cartoon insignias on the simpler bumpers.

And now #36 has tamographed cartoon symbols.

What's up with that?

I hope the final product will have the traditional symbols.

Thanks, Cyberpath, updated news story.

So I guess the fun begins on how to smuggle him into Australia ...

[Bumblebee21]

the best accessory is the gun stock thingy that also becomes a flight stand.

so im gonna try to get it at bbts when the preorders go up. how are they with preorders.

[fenrir72]

I wonder if the dagger can be hidden in his foot like in the movie.

[Powermaster Swag]

I don't know why everyone is complaining about the gray. It's cartoon accurate!
Not to mention, has anyone seen him going all Lockdown with his fusion cannon?

[Cyberpath]

With all the talk of the various 3P MP Megatrons in comparison to this one, could someone create a comparison chart (like the kind that Cyberpath and Logan often make) of all the 3P MP Megatrons with both this new official one and MP-5, and maybe with the cartoon model? Cuz that would be awesome to see them all together and how they all compare to each other.

From faithfulTF:











Wow, Takara!

[Bumblebee21]

is this the first masterpiece thats been leaked before the official reveal.

whats the estimated price for him, maybe $160.

I'll grant you, I maybe biased as I have him, but I'm gonna say Despotron is the clear winner here. Mp36 and Apollyon are a tie for second place, with maybe a slight edge going to Mp36.

I'd checkout HLJ first. I import all my MP's from them, and even when adding shippong, I still save an average of 20 bucks from the BBTS and ToySource sticker prices.

I can't figure out how to make the third pic as big as the first two.

Takara is the biggest winner here... and also the biggest loser! Sure, the Original MP-05 was an amazing experiment, but that's it. And man, so MANY 3p Megs! (I'll be stuck with my Hegemon forever at this point).

And then, Takara come with the REAL update to Megatron and show everyone who is the real master.

[Cobotron]

HOLY SCHMOLY! Newsed a day ago and already 6 pages in!

Late to the party to say...

IT'S ON!
Like Donkey Kong!
Til the ever lovin' monkey scratchin' BREAK O' DAWN!

Put it on my tab.

[BumbleDouche]

Oh, God! Mere months before I finally gave up hope & bought Apollyon!

[Kurona]

Pre-order bonus: A flesh and blood human hand!

Not to be a negative nancy, but is anyone else not liking the feet? Rest of the figure looks perfect, but his feet look a bit too thin.

But holy heck seeing him and the Leader figure and all those 3P guys next to MP-05 REALLY puts things in perspective. The old one's so thin and gangly and pathetic

Stop giving away my secret place bee!!

In all seriousness, Matt and the Transformer Land team have been awesome. I've had at least one order per month with them over the last year and I couldn't be more happy. He's getting my pre-order once they go up!

Goes to shows how much more can be accomplished when a designer is given more than 12 days to make a toy.
