Does anyone know if that Megs' mold in those colours has been released stand-alone? I'm a little behind the times these days.

Not QUITE in those colours. It looks to be the same colourscheme as the best buy exclusive Megatron, but in Non-Mettallic paints.

So technically (and I use that term loosely), that version of Megs' is exclusive to that giftset? You'll have to excuse my ignorance, I only got the "Frozen" Megs' from the 2007 line and glossed over the others.

Cheers for the info tho' my friend, looks like I'll be picking this one up.....

Wel to be the only one who will be against the repaint of Soundwave. Blegh! too dark blue and too white.

I'm sure I'll get it. I just wish The Fallen was repainted, even slightly.

LOL! i was expecting a translucent orange fallen!

But it still looks good.

"Jaymz" at TFormers.com has found some info about this in TRU Uk computers

As the title says, a Gathering At The Nemesis Set is planned and will be a TRU Exclusive. The price tag is £59.99 so who or what is included is up in the air.

UPC # is 5010999444568

TRU SKN is 076732

Looks like it will see a Euro release, the £59.99 is about right for what the figs' would be separately. I would assume that means $59.99 for you folks across the pond.

Love gift sets but not sure about this one especially with the minor role played by Soundwave in the movie. He should have come down to Earth and kicked some A-butt!

I bought the Best Buy Megatron and as you can see, the re-paint in the 3 pack is probally not the same. Notice how the Best Buy version has a shiny chrome finish while the one in the box appears to be dull grey like the first voyager Megatron. It appears that they colored the "ice" clear instead of blue like the first Megatron. I like the Fallen on Fire that was posted in the comments. It will look good next to the Fire Voyager Megatron from Target. I actually like repaints and am digging the Soundwave, but Im not purchacing a 4th Megatron and a double of Fallen to get him.

$59.99? That's not all that great of a deal even if they had ROTF Megs in it. With 2007 Megs, they're straight up bending you over at that price...

WOW!!!

That's a severe rip off!

I actually like movie 1 voyager megs if they could just ditch that stupid "ice" effect.

First off, that's 59 Euros or Pounds, or whatever currency that is, not $59 US or Canadian, so it's not a 'ripoff'. It's not SEVERE either, even it if was $59 US, seeing as it's $44 American for Two Voyagers, and $12-13 or whatever for the Deluxe.

Anywho, I'm wondering if that's just a Europe TRU exclusive. If that hits North America.. it should totally be a Costco Exclusive. But my gawd... I want that Soundwave repaint badly.

So right you are, but I already repainted my movie SW metallic blue and silver weeks ago

And I'm not a big fan of movie 1 Megs or movie Fallen

So TRU can keep their "exclusive" ROTF 3 pack - pass for me
I'm sure ALOT will end up on e-bay - b/c of the SW repaint I guess?

Yeah, pretty ,uch, it looks to be an "exclusive" in the technical sense. But, all in all, I think the Best Buy one looks better.

Also, I am a proud proponent of the 1st movie Voyager Megatron. His transformation is simple, but the playability is great and his bot mode looks fantastic, IMO. His Vehicle mode is no better or worse than the 1st movie Leader Megs either.

I'd actually say that 2007 Movie Voyager Megatron is the best Megatron movie mold out of the 4 we have so far, of course under Best Buy Voyager Megatron's colours. The only thing that is a severance is it's scale, so I'm always drawn to a Leader Megatron mold to go with Leader Prime.

If it ends up being $60, it is a SEVERE ripoff since sets are usually discounted, it would come out more that the original MSRPs, and 2007 Megs S U C K S ! ! !

I care very little for scale. But, yes, you are right.

@Kibble: Okay... if that's the case then it's almost as bad as the Whirl/Bludgeon twopack we have here in Canada that goes for $50. If this 3 pack ever hits up Canada, then it's going for more than $60. Sigh.

@NuclearConvoy:

The old Meg? Why???

Nightwalker wrote:The old Meg? Why???

Well my reason is that the mold hasn't gotten used up all too much.

The first release is the obvious 2007 Movie Voyager Megatron;


and it never hit mainstream stores, with the release of Best Buy Megatron;


or the Target Exclusive 'Flame Megatron' in a two pack with Final Battle Jazz



So thus... that is at least my reasoning as to why this is the case.

Dammit, I thought that it was going to be the '09 Voyager. Ah well, at least I haven't bought the Fallen yet, and I can sell that Megatron off cheap. I will get this set for the Soundwave, which looks fantastic.

So......when will it be in stores?

its a good buy..need enough money

Nothing! They could have at least given the Fallen a movie accurate paint job, and given the ROTF Voyager Megatron a decent paint job, and put that in there instead of movie 1 Megatron. Then I'd buy it!

You're wrong. The Megatron is a new paintjob, very simillar to an older one, but not entirely unoriginal.

To all those people who say "should have included the ROTF Voyager Megatron" I agree.

Well, maybe Hasbro thought there's still some demand for a Premium Voyager Megatron. For me, this is a great way to get:

1) A Premium Megatron look-a-like
2) A G1-colored figure, Soundwave
3) A bonus figure, The Fallen.

It works out Now I need that Screen Battles one...
