I find it a complete joke when someone actually buys an 800$ statue, but that doesn't mean I should disrespect them for it.

No matter what one buy, it always depend on one's interest.
Beside, it's a pretty lazy argument to dismiss something we don't like when we run down the thing to it's base elements:
--Why buy a toy? It's just plastics.
--Why buy fancy clothes? It's just fabrics.
--Why buy good tasting food? It's just sugar, vitamins, minerals, and glucids.
--Why getting exited on sexy girls? It's just flesh.
--Why live at all? We are just ephemerial cosmic dust.
I really hate it when people do that.

Naked photos huh?. Good thing that bad is covering her goodies, although you know the other region is in full view.

You jest but "doll nudity warning" is a thing in the doll circle.

It's good to see movieverse Megatron's original body getting a toy that's not hampered by clumsy gimmicking and the designers having to learn the aesthetic's ropes, and a Masterpiece at that. It's a pity he doesn't include the spear from the flashback sequence, particularly at that price. Who knows, maybe that'll end up being his Retailer Exclusive Accessory.

Megs is really complex and really big. And that $160 is a lot less ouch when one considers the Inferno mold went for $140 and also where the new MPs his size are standing price wise

Jazz is the same as both Bumblebees and Barricade, and those guys are fairly complex compared to G1 MPs around that price or who were released around that price. Prime and Ironhide were $100 and they both had far more engineering put into them (levels of success not withstanding) than MPs around that price.

Also consider that so far we have found all of the MPM figures on massive discounts on Amazon.

Love the pic of him standing on one hand on the box. I know it says requires additional support but maybe that's just there to cover their based and maybe he can actually balance like that (just not worth keeping him that way in case he does fall over at some point).
My Studio Jazz balances really well on one foot even without using those black support bits on the back of his feet (I never use those).

He's 2 inches tall. You'll never see those details in real life with the naked eye. This is just the camera's Macro lense doing its thing.
At most you would have gotten two shapeless blobs of black paint for eyes. There's no point to that.

Seems like it's a common thing for Spike/Sam in the Masterpiece line. It's those Witwicky genes.

They both look great though. I won't even consider picking up Megatron until he gets the significant price drop all large MPM's have gotten so far. Even though Jazz will most likely drop in price as well, I'll probably pre-order him first chance.

For what it's worth... some of the Amazon.co.jp pre-orders or other Japanese e-tailers going for 30% off.... might be some of the best ways to pick up these MPs.

This also gives us a good look at his finalized deco, which is covered in silver paint, or so it seems. Let us know what you think of this toy and if this picture has changed your mind in getting him.

Well, Kanrabat, the gods heard your prayers and delivered. A few users sent these images in and since the source would rather remain anonymous we will simply post the images below. They include images of the robot mode compared to the CG model, shots of the accessories being wielded, and images of the space jet mode. The person who received the toy said that it was very well articulated and felt very hefty. There is indeed die cast in select areas, such as the feet. As always, feel free to let us know what you think!

And i really don't think they could have got him any more perfect. I love him. That right there is exactly what i wanted in an update to my first ever Transformer
I am very happy for you. They updated my first ever Transformer a few years ago and it is such a poor update that I wouldnt call it an update at all and more of an homage.

After getting several rounds of in hand images and size comparison, we have a new advertisement for the figure licensed by Hasbro. This advertisement is a stop motion video, and over the course of this short video, we get some awesome stop motion shots of Megatron breaking free from the cryogenic ice and transforming to escape the Hoover Dam, as seen in the original Transformers 2007 Live Action Movie.
This video came to us from the 變形金剛同樂會 Facebook page, and you can view the video in all its glory below! Let us know what you think of the next Movie Masterpiece figure, which will be due out in August of this year, below!

Movie Megatron design is one of most imposing out there.When its said he controls the Decepticon faction through tyranny,you can feel it.
The eyes of the toy look better in thee pics than the the stock photos.
An excellent by HasTak!


The Transformers game intro shows thiis design in a brief,but in a menacing way.

Posted by Carnivius_Prime on March 9th, 2019 @ 2:53am CST
If I had the money to collect MPM's I would so be doing it right now.
I'm hoping the eventual Studio Series version of this Megatron will be a sufficently acceptable scaled down copy as much possible.

And I love Jazz more everytime I see him (transformed correctly).

And for once, the 2007 Megs is getting love, not the redundant ROTF one.
Posted by Evil Eye on March 9th, 2019 @ 11:47am CST
He looks awesome- the robot mode is more or less spot on and the vehicle mode is as good as a physical transforming Knifejet is ever going to look. I wish he had a nice "grimy steel" paintjob like his movie model but at the same time it would probably scratch to hell and back if they did that. He looks a phenomenal toy at any rate.
One thing that would have been nice is some clip-on ice pieces so you could display him in "stasis".

Carnivius_Prime wrote:Is he shorter than the first G1 Masterpiece Megatron though? The tall skinny one before they revised the MP scale to a more consistent size?
I have both MP Megs on display together and based on the picture posted previously, I guess this MPM '07 Megatron is a smidge taller than the top of the gun barrel on the bot mode's back of the original MP Megs. Plus he's way more massive.
Posted by Ironhidensh on March 9th, 2019 @ 1:50pm CST
Also, the pricing on this guy really calls out the complete bullshit on mainline MP pricing.
Other than that, yeah, he looks good for those who like this design. Hopefully he doesn't follow in the footsteps of the other two large MPM figures and be a qc nightmare.
