After a sneak peek at the new Infernocus combiner, we have more Transformers 5 toy leaks to share! This time we've got a Deluxe Class Megatron, (which is a redeco of the 2013 Thrilling 30 Deluxe) and a new Decepticon we hadn't heard of before, Nitro! Take a look at the photos below!

WHAAAAAAAAT!? A REDECO OF IDW MEGATRON?!

I never got the original, so sign me up!

I have all versions of the mould so far, so I guess I have to get this one too

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Nitro looks neat. I am loving the cons right now for some reason so he will be picked up. Need some good movie cons on the shelf, and this movie is doing them justice! I am finally majorly collecting when we get some good cons!

That Megatron: well, I can now say I will be buying 3 different size classes of him. I don't have that mold yet, so maybe this is the man upstairs telling me it's time

[griftimus prime]

so many repaints in this line. a lot of money will be saved.

Not just by Hasbro, amiright?

[Burn]

What I find interesting ... so much Megatron. Where's the Optimus Prime figures?

[Bronzewolf]

-prays silently to Primus that Nitro is the Aston Martin we saw on set, and we are actually getting a toy of him-

I mean, C'mon. With a name like Nitro, it has to be a car.

Plus he's silver.

And has a little bit of shell-forming right under his waist, ala Crosshairs...

[ScottyP]

Oh, that Megatron looks nice. I quite enjoy the stealth bomber mold so this is pretty cool to me!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I don't know, but I am loving the Megatron figures. I gots me lots of Prime (and I'm still not sure if I really want to get the voyager) so some Megatron love is in order.

Plus, that new head is awesome looking and I want that mold

[Dagon]

so many repaints in this line. a lot of money will be saved.

Yeah. I know that development and production time for figures is probably much longer than it takes to slap together another of this junk movies, but maybe they should slow down and let at least one of the two things develop some quality.

[Sigma Magnus]

Ffhhhhhhh...while I really want that bomber Megs mold...I want the original version. This looks cool too, but the leader Megs is top priority. Hopefully we get some more home run figures like him in this line.

[Deadput]

The shockwave looking con is Nitro the details match up 100% such as the human missiles on his shoulders and the turbines.



It's not the Cogman because Cogman is the Aston Martin character's actual name said so by Bay himself who also confirms Cogman is a headmaster.

Plus Nitro has no car parts like at all.

Nitro Superior, Megatron Inferior

[Burn]

Nitro Superior, Megatron Inferior

Which Megatron though? Because honestly, the TLK Megatron that was revealed at NY Toy Fair is one of the most superior TF's out there!

That Leader Megatron looks amazing. I was worried about the head sculpt looking a bit daft, but then I saw it had a faceplate feature.

Instant buy.

Nitro's inferior.

[Emerje]

I'm starting to wonder if has-tak have lost the Hungrr mould now - as when you look at those limbs - most of them have had repeated repaints and yet they are rather ungenerous about repainting the left arm and Torso.

Sounds unlikely, Hun-Gurrr has only been used three times (original, translucent, and TFGo! Dorara) while the Rippersnaper mold has been used a shocking eight times with TLK. If any mold should be worn out it's that one.

[Black Bumblebee]

Now that they're using that mold for movie line figures... I wonder if they're finally give some money to Don for designing it....

[Dr Lockdown]

I think the new torso actually improves the proportions significantly. They're taking cues from Combiner Wars with different sized parts.

[Deadput]

Does Don even care anymore?

Deluxe

[Kurona]

I'm actually liking all these other-line-repaints because it reminds me of how they done that in the first couple of movie lines. A back-to-form to a line that expansive and full of awesome new takes on old molds (and as a way to get those molds again if you missed out the first time) would be AMAZING, especially since these all seem supplementary rather than the only option for the character like with AOE Voyager Drift.

[Hydrargyrus]

I figured that although combiner wars ended, a new way of making combiners had emerged. Once the Prime trilogy ends (not that I do or don't want it to), I figure we'll see the occasional combiner pop up here and there. Hopefully they can get the hands and feet better, though. Packing specialized ones with Voyager class toys would be just as unrestrictive (although it would throw prices around).

Anyway, enough of that.

The shockwave looking con is Nitro the details match up 100% such as the human missiles on his shoulders and the turbines.

I think you could be right. The toy's face is rather blurred.

[Bronzewolf]

It's not the Cogman because Cogman is the Aston Martin character's actual name said so by Bay himself who also confirms Cogman is a headmaster.

Plus Nitro has no car parts like at all.

I didn't actually know that. Good to know that that would be his name on any product. Huh.

Also, yeah, I know, but a guy can dream.

[william-james88]

Nitro: Looks neat.

Megatron: ...okay, but why though?

Money

so I think it's safe to say at least 4 waves confirmed

Not if these are exclusives.

And Hasbro has reached a new low.

Is this really lower than rereleasing that AOE deluxe Bee with less paint at a higher price due to fancier packaging? I actually find this megatron at least has more effort put into him with the attention to detail and the new head (its new right?). Plus, I like what they did with the accessory, looks way better than how it was done for Dreadwing.

That Megatron: well, I can now say I will be buying 3 different size classes of him. I don't have that mold yet, so maybe this is the man upstairs telling me it's time

Your not gonna get the other megatrons? That legion looks pretty cool too.

I mean, C'mon. With a name like Nitro, it has to be a car.

But he has air vehicle parts.

[Mechastrike]

that's Galvatron accurate...

[SureShot18]

Huh. That Megatron's an odd choice, looks pretty good but odd. Nitro is a little to blurry but he doesn't look bad at all.
