He's glorious and i want him!

[BluePhirePB]

Definitely want this! I also now regret not pre-ordering Dinobot. Sold out everywhere.

[Octobotimus]

hey look, they even gave him a stand just to increase his price, how nice of them. seriously though, looking at him he should cost quite a bit less than dinobot just cause of engineering, but i bet takara is trying everything they can to increase its price to the max.

Yeah that figure everyone threw a fit over the price and said won’t sell because of said price

Gonna preorder from anime export as soon as I can. Looks amazing!

[Rodimus Knight]

I'm glad to see at least one of his arms has an actual hand on the end. I hope the other one does too.

You say that but did he ever have a right hand in the show? I don't recall ever seeing him without the T-Rex Head on the right

He did at one point in what was generally regarded as an animation error.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Ah I see. Like I've said, I didn't like this form of Megatron in Beast Wars but I didn't think he had two hands - officially - until the Transmetal body. It's only really Cheetor that lost out, via finger loss, when he went TM. Everyone else got an upgrade.

Several times. Anytime he would sit in his CR jacuzzi he’d have a left hand, most notably he was seen even brushing his t-Rex heads teeth. Can’t do that with a tail arm

You're thinking of Megs's left hand, which he had in the show a lot. What was asked about was a right hand.

I wonder if the masterpiece has articulated Dino eyes (From looking at that gif)

I wonder if any British suppliers will have preorders for this.

Looking at the prototype he might not have articulated T-Rex fingers, which is a shame.

I pre-ordered Dinobot and Shadow Panther through Kapow Toys, so I don't doubt they will have Megatron too. Although, at time of writing, not yet.

[Sabrblade]

Looks like the T-Rex head can turn to look left and right in beast mode.

How much were they charging for dinobot? Still unsure of shadow panther, would rather have it in proper cheetor colours

[AllNewSuperRobot]

A £1 pre-order was the only price point they gave at the time and since the pre-orders sold out, there is nothing. I'll update when I know more.

Back in the day, I wouldn't have bought Shadow Panther. Other than Optimal Optimus the only BW line I went out of my way to complete with the Transmetals. However, I made the decision with the MP Beast Wars line to support the whole thing. I'm not banking on MP Transmutate or MP BW Ravage (as much as I'd want him) but I'll keep buying MP Beast Wars as long as they keep making them. Repaints and all..

[blackeyedprime]

Oh Yes.

Fair enough looks like I've missed my chance with dinobot, but they could always do a re-issue later.

He looks so amazing! I also kind of like that the BW MPs are coming with stands, it's an added expense but a neat touch

[Nemesis Maximo]

Honestly, I’ve got a feeling the stands are being included with Dinobot and Megatron because they may not be all too stable in beast mode. Maybe I’m wrong, but especially with Megs, that T-Rex head looks big and heavy and is pretty forward of Center.

[SureShot18]

Megatron is looking absolutely fantastic so far. I’m on board with the headsculpt now and the beast mode looks great.

I’m right there with you. I do have some concerns about his weight distribution in beast mode. There’s a chance that Megatron’s potential balancing issue could be mitigated by having a larger footprint than Dinobot. Won’t know for sure until the figure is released though. I am, however, kind of glad these two are coming with stands regardless of potential balancing issues. I really love to pose my figures. Many of the Autobot MPs and all of the Decepticons MPs are much too heavy to be supported by the stands I use for smaller, lighter figures (various Bandai Tamashii Stage Act stands).

If these work well, I think it would kind of be nice to see Takara sell some display stands separately. Although my preference would be for clear plastic, as it’s less obtrusive.

[Actar]

According to the scan, MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron will not only have light-up robot eyes, but have a sound chip as well.
