FantoFan posted new pictures from Hyper Hobby magazine of MP Megatron. One of the pictures includes a rear shot.

Also included are photos of Sports Label Convoy & Megatron.

it looks like megatron has some kind of head gimmick

Here's a closer headshot of Megatron from e-Hobby's website:

Oh, so MP Megs does still have the P-38 sign. I had always thought it was on his chest in robot mode & Takara decided to take it off. So his robot arms are the gun chest in gun mode.....interesting..........I'm still thinking about these transforming shoes though..........

I ordered a pair of the shoes. The robot modes are not that appealing. They are however, two of the oddest objectformers ever created.

It would be incredible if the shoes were the start of a tremendously large, prohibitively expensive combiner, with legs, torso, feet, hands, and head to follow.

no. someone far more evil... can someone say kobe?

I finally figured out what is wrong with MP Meg's face (Besides the over sized helmet)-no black unibrow. In the cartoon, underneath the "arrow" on his forehead, he has one big black unibrow.

I simply can't wait for MP Megatron to ship. Bring it on already.

He still has the unibrow or widow's peak, but you're right it's a bit hidden by his helmet. Some of the other photos show it better.

The area outlined in red in this pic is what I was talking about when I said Megatron's unibrow.

Now I see. You are correct.

nope sry, the p-38 symbols is exactly were it has always been on megs. it was always on his bot of his forearms, though the scope mount blocks the one on his right arm

for the most part, this guy transformes like g1, with lots of extra mods to make him more bulky and articulate.

in other words, were as g1 megs was sex in plastic (and lead) as a gun onry (sexy chrome~)

this megs is sex in robot mode too~

agreed, he needs his eye shadows, which i will do myself, (did it on classics too, since they put the black on the wrong part) and his upper legs are still a little skinny, but he still makes me drool, and im a beleiver that Starscream should rule over megs, so thats saying a lot.

only a couple more weeks, oh please get here soon~

I've been counting down the days. 24 to go and then it's Christmas time again.

I don't know, in the eyes of Detroiters, you can't get much more evil than Michael Jordan (I happen to like the fellow myself).

I want a transforming basketball, football, hockey stick, baseball, and glove!!!

EDIT: Somebody take the pic, and edit it with an orange cap on the end of the gun barrel on Meg's back...

Also, at first glance the head gimmick looks like you can make it similar to his G1 toy head or cartoon head, but on second thought, I think it is just how it transforms.

Where's the News Crew?

Apparently, from what I've seen, you can swap it between cartoon accurate and G1 toy accurate.

By the way, if any of you are worried about customs, Spencer from AgesThreeAndUp.com is shipping UNMODDED MP-05's in the U.S.

The way he does this is enter the US with the packages and ship them from a U.S. Location via UPS. To quote Spencer from the forums:

The Megatron figures we will be shipping into the states also will not have the orange cap on them. I bring over all mail personally and ship from a US address so these don't leave my hands until they are shipped by UPS. I don't think there is anything to fear with these.

Hope that helps.

Spencer.

So, if you're worried about customs, I think this is the way to go.

Front Paged and Credited Stormrider, thanks for the heads up. This has done nothing more then wet my appetite for MP Megs even more.

I also can't wait for the Sport Lable TFs as well. So much appeal to them, I just don't know what to do with myself

Actually, that's a "Srorts Label Transformer", if one looks at the label closely.

Is that a typo?

I would guess it is, It could just be a poor translation me thinks.

Your wish is my command.

There's no URL in the news story.

Sweet thanks, now please give me $1,000,000.

Oh BTW, that was not so good looking with the orange cap....
