Listing for Movie Masterpiece Brawl Found

2007 movie cast completion in sight!!!!

Getting Brawl in 2024 will be a great treat. Idk if I'd get any more MPMs after the 2007 cast thanks to Studio Series covering the other movies but we'll see

The concept art always looked amazing. But I have been almost universally disappointed by every figure made based on this bayverse design. They've been overly fiddly, a chore to transform, frustrating to handle, and they pose like a block of pig iron. The MP version would have to do a heckuvva lot to dispel the foul stench that all the other versions of Bayverse Brawl have left in the air.

Does that apply to the studio series release? I always thought that was a solid figure.

Besides the turret tail, the Studio Series one is pretty great! Not only fun but also very screen accurate.

And while it isn't as screen accurate, the 07 leader class figure is an absolute blast!

With the repaints they've done of Ratchet and Starscream, I wonder if we'll get a tan desert deco of this figure for the one that appears in DOTM. We need that in Studio Series too!

Funny thing is, Brawl is one of those characters where I'd say that, outside of his 07 deluxe arm connections in robot mode, he really hasn't had a bad toy. Nothing amazing (except maybe leader class), but he's always solid

I had SS Brawl for a while, and even reviewed it. But I grew weary of it and had the minions sell it off, for the reasons listed above. I dreaded transforming the thing because of the way you have to wrestle with the chest and the turret sections. And they make you stop transforming some areas mid-way through, so you can transform other areas, and shuffle back and forth between zones. It was just too much work. And in the end, you still couldn't pose it very well. The legs were especially frustrating. Not nearly as bad as the Leader 2007 figure, but close...

But those are my opinions - I'm sure other folks enjoy these figures and I won't take that away from them. I'm just saying that unless MP Brawl does something really amazing to step away from those past issues, I won't be tempted. And I have my doubts, because MP figures in general are really advanced and they often wind up magnifying the frustration rather than easing it.

MPM-15 gets revealed this Friday! Can’t wait to see how he looks!

I was literally looking at this thread last night wondering whatever happened to this.

MPM-15 Brawl has been revealed! He includes multiple blast effect accessories, an opening jaw, and a severed left arm stump!

Oh he's beautiful!

We thank EvasionModeBumblebee for letting us know that Transformers MPM-15 Brawl has been revealed! He includes multiple blast effect accessories, an opening jaw, and a severed left arm stump! Below are images along with an English translation of the Chinese description.

Transformers MPM15 Movie Masterpiece: Decepticon Brawl

The Decepticons gather as the noise mounts! The crushing obstacles of “Movie Masterpiece MPM-15 Brawl” have arrived!

Brawl, the unstoppable tank; Brawl, the offensive pioneer with a warlike nature; Brawl is the firepower on Cybertron!

Originally a member of the G1 fleet of animated battle tanks in the ’80s, Brawl made its debut in a new guise in the live-action Transformers movie over 20 years later!

Restore the shape of the film’s M1 main battle tank, with 76 steps to complete the transformation and a rich configuration of weapon accessories!

The weapons can even restore the image of the explosion and break-up in the film, with camouflage paint full of layered feel, and highly reproducible special effects replacement parts for intense exit scenes, perfectly reproducing the film’s classic look!

Note: some product instructions will be found in the packaging insert, please look carefully for players receiving the goods.

Set includes: shoulder-mounted missile launcher, arm-mounted machine gun, chest combat damage parts, flame special effects parts

Applicable age: 8 years and over

Product material: plastic

Model: F9655

Nice! I shall wait for a HUGE discount sale like I did with Blackout and Bonecrusher.

This is magnificent. Absolutely magnificent.

The figure looks excellent. But it lists 79 transformation steps. I've had several of the movie Brawl/Devastator tank figures over the course of years. The 2007 Deluxe figure. The 2008 Leader figure. The Studio Series Voyager. Because I like a good tank figure, and the movie figure looked pretty neat. However, as time went by, I let go of each one, either selling or giving them away.

And the transformations were the main reason. They were just too fussy, too fiddly, too complicated. The engineering necessary to get the tank figure to turn into the robot figure required too much effort IMO, and I felt it made it so the figures weren't any fun.

Secondly, the robot modes were too encumbered to get decent poses. In most cases, the articulation points were all there, so there was great potential for good posing. But there was so much parts crashing that the poses couldn't actually be achieved.

And while this MP Brawl does look amazing, it also looks as of both those issues would be front and center. So unless I saw it on deep discount, it's most likely a regretful pass.

Still waiting for this yet to happen Bonecrusher sale...


As for Brawl, how much will it cost? Same as Bony?

Are you me?

Because I did the same with the same reasons.

Even if that MPM Brawl look nice, I doubt I'll ever buy him.

And if Bonecrusher serves as an example, I doubt it will ever go on clearance because of the limited number produced.

The benefit of him being a Target exclusive here is we get to use their random toy and Transformers specific sales on him to get $25 or 30% off him even during pre-order. I paid $140 for my Bonecrusher, others were able to get better deals with earned gift cards.

He'll probably be at the $165 price point at Target like Bonecrusher and Blackout were despite being drastically different sized figures. Not sure how that translates for you.

As expected.

So that mean that translate to: "Wait for a sale to buy, and if he's never on sale and disappear, eh..."

Sam Smith has returned, looks like we have another post from him on the way! Can’t wait, these posts he does are awesome.

Kinda funny that he's addressing this before they've done a western announcement. I guess that means a Target listing is eminent.

Emerje

Ooooooohhh baby he looks awesome! Best one since the '07 leader class one!

Well this was a Hasbro announcement and not a Takara one, so I guess they consider it fair game.

That's why I said "western announcement". Back when they announced Tidal Wave in Singapore last year it took them at least a month to acknowledge it outside of the event.

I love that like Bonecrusher with his messed up face, Brawl includes the arm severing. I just love that detail so much

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Optimus Prime 2.0 please! I passed on him because I didn't feel it did anything than the Leader class retail figure did so MB-11 is my stand in MPM until Hasbro does something better. And I know they can do better. Heck, Takara Tomy did better with their MPM release. But with Brawl being so impressive that he barely looks like he transforms (from the front anyway) in either mode I'd love to see what kind of amazing engineering wizardry they could pull off on a second try.

Emerje

Sam Smith’s posts on MPM Brawl are up! We get lots of looks at the scale breakdown, development process, and 3D turnarounds!

We also get some insights on the color scheme, the tank in the film was painted with 3 different house paint colors, and Sam got the exact paint colors to use on the figure!

He is going to be a beautiful chunkster!

The original is much more thin.

Guess all that tank kibble must go somewhere, even for a MP.

Honestly think he looks better in toy form. Just filling out the arms really makes a difference.

Emerje

The CG model there is also missing the arm weapons, which bulk him up quite a bit.

I love that Sam does these posts. There’s so much passion that goes into making these figures and it’s really cool to get to see some of that!

We already got a full video review! In Chinese, but still.

Looks awesome and the transformation does not look much harder than the original 2007 leader.



This video is around 2 weeks old already. Thank God it randomly appeared in my recommendeds.

If you ever wonder how some reviewers can get toys early legitimately, well there are smaller online shops that get toys distributed to them but don't have to then go through their own internal warehouse to store distribution. Case in point with MPM Brawl, who is available right now at certain online shops, like CMD store for $180 USD.

At the same time, Amazon Japan has Brawl at a really good price, that being ¥19,394 at checkout, which comes out to $122 USD. Of course, both charge shipping on top of that. We just wanted to let you know of your current options whether you want the toy right now, or if you want it at the best price possible and don't care to wait.

Below are the two links along with a review of the toy.

Amazon Japan: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Transform ... cx_mr_hp_d?tag=seibertron00-22&

CMD store: https://cmdstore.com/collections/new-pr ... 0996165542

All in all, from Amazon.JP that Brawl will cost me between 250$CAN to 300$CAN depending of the exchange rate

I'll wait for the Canadian retailers price, but I expect that I'll just trade-in some old stuff at my local geek store to get him.

I still need Barricade to complete my 2007 .

Still nothing from Target, makes me wonder if they're done with MPMs. Typically they go live on the store shortly after reveal, but we've known about him since November and the Chinese reveal (via Hasbro) was back in April. $122 is a good price, but the hope was that Target would have one of their 25-30% off sales and bring the price to just over $100.

Emerje

Finally!

Pulse (sold out)
Target

They took so damn long to start taking pre-orders that it'll be out on the 21st of THIS MONTH! Just over two weeks from now. Hoping there's a sale for Circle Week next week.

Emerje

There are usually some summer circle sales, so I am going to try to wait, it has worked out for me for the other MPMs.

He also may rival Bonecrusher and Megatron as the best MPM Decepticon based on reviews I have already seen

Got my Brawl, and god is he great. They have definitely stepped up their game on the MPMs since VW Bee, and i would argue that Brawl is on Bonecrusher's level of being a great figure. Awesome grab, cannot wait to do more with him!

Absolutely agree. Between Blackout and Brawl, the latest MPMs have been phenomenal.

Not the biggest deal, but still annoying:

The quatuor missiles launcher's blast effect fall off overtime. So, the only way for me to fix the issue is to point that launcher straight up.

Been messing around with Brawl some more, man, the MPM crew have really found their rhythm. He is so good

Agreed. This guy is my favorite MPM. Hoping we continue to get this quality.

Back in September I was messing around with Brawl, Bonecrusher and Blackout and yeah, they really did out do themselves here. Makes me wish they would do an Optimus 2.0 all the more.

Is it just me, or the MPM are overall way better than their counterparts?

Maybe but they were done before the 'Cons were. Maybe they developed the techniques and improved as they went?

They're also much bigger giving them more space to work with. At the same time be got a good figure later on out of Ratchet, but we also got Bee movie Optimus Prime and his truck cat ears on an otherwise decent figure.

Maybe I'm less picky, but I never thought that the cat ears detracted from the figure. Could they have put a joint in them so they could lay flat in truck mode? I suppoe but how easily would they pop off and/or break? I think it's a necessary evil...well, not necessarily an "evil" but more a necessary annoyance.
