Man, he looks beautiful! The alt mode looks so clean! Not sure why they gave him the flame effects, but I want to see more pictures of him in dynamic poses!

Day 1291 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Thanks to Seibertronian EvasionModeBumblebee for letting us know that Transformers MPM-14 Bonecrusher has been announced by Target as part of their Summer Geek-Out and pre-orders are live at both Target.com and Hasbro Pulse. He has a few interesting features like 50 points of articulation, over 180 deco operations, flame effects, alternate forks and, yes, the head is removable! In fact he comes with an alternate destroyed head with an eye hanging out. He's priced at $164.99 and is expected to be out in late November 2023.

OK, that looks pretty damn good. I'm in!

Awesome. I want it!

I got my copy preordered. Having seen the real vehicles in Afghanistan, this looks pretty darn close to the real Army Buffalo vehicle. Not that the Studio Series was that off in design but now having this in the MPM line, wonderful. I am loving it.

Gotta say, I think they nailed Bonecrusher! Gets his proportions down very well, and the versatility of the claw arm is super cool! Wasn’t initially planning on getting it since I’m more of an SS collector than MPM, but it looks so good I’m definitely leaning towards picking him up!

I’m just really glad Bonecrusher’s design has finally gotten justice! Past figures have been pretty good but this is on a whole new level.

I'm oddly impressed by the dirty windshield detail. Not enough to buy it, but impressed nonetheless.

I want it, but I won't be in a hurry. Like all the previous MPM 'cons, he'll be on sale sooner or later.

Just need Brawl and the MV1 cast is complete!

Agree!

My favorite Decepticon at last gets the MPM treatment!!!!

I am so happy with this, this appear to have done a superb job. He looks so good! all the dirt and weathering details are fantastic! His design looks just like it did in the movie! the alt mode rules! He has the flames from when he smashed through the bus on the highway chase! The alternate head!

It's all so great. This makes me so very happy.

They put a lot of love into him, I am so excited for my favorite movie Con to get this treatment!

Transformation video from Toy Base!

And it looks much simpler than I expected.

I don't know if I would call it simple so much as fairly straight forward and not the type of transformation where you're likely to break something if you don't get the order exactly right.

I really wish they'd do a 2.0 on Prime. It was released between Movie the Best Leaders MB-11 and MB-17 and didn't feel like much of an improvement over those two, especially the weird painted windows, at twice the price. I don't own one, I couldn't justify it and use MB-11 to fill the role.

Thanks to ToyBase on Youtube, we have our first transformation video for the upcoming Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-14 Bonecrusher! This video gives us some size comparisons in robot mode and in alt mode for Bonecrusher compared to MPM-4 Optimus, as well as a full vehicle to robot conversion sequence.

Bonecrusher appears to have a very intuitive yet straightforward transformation, with some awesome little details such as how his crotch wheels in the inner thighs are formed, and how much of his alt mode goes into his giant claw.

Also briefly shown off are the flame effects from when he smashes through the bus, his alternate claw pieces, and his alternate face from when Prime gives him a solid punch.

Check out the video below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

I am so excited for Bonecrusher. He is my favorite movie Con, and he looks so good!

I agree 100%.
But I've been burned twice by preordering MPM Starscream and Blackout from Amazon.JP.
I paid the high price and the high shipping, only for the damn things to pop up on clearance locally with free shipping.

I WILL get that Bonecrusher, but this time, I'll bid my time and wait for the local sale.

I already got his preorder down to $120 shipped, so I think I've got him good here

I dunno how you did it, but for me, preordering from Amazon.JP amount to a whopping 27K yen, shipped and taxed.
As for ordering from Canadian stores, the base price of the toy is more expensive, but the shipping is much cheaper. The total is still 265$CAN though.

And for some reasons, I can't find it in any American online stores.

So, yeah.
I have no choices but to wait.

MPMs are Target exclusives in the US.

Usually, these exclusives won't stop independent retailers to have them in stock.
Regardless, no wonder D-Max could order it for cheap. Target have some weird pricing policies and they throw coupons around like business cards.

Too bad Target died in Canada years ago.
