Thanks to stormrider of our Energon Pub forums for translating the three Masterpiece Megatron articles that appeared in the latest Japanese Hobby Magazines. Thw translation reveals the folloewing inforation about this much anticipated figure:

The first image:The Headline roughly translates: The true king has returned

As you know Megatron will be an oversized Walter-38 (no surprise there).
He will be due out at the end of March, 2007. His suggested retail price is Y1,0290.
His transformation will be explained in next month's issue of this magazine. (Unfortunately, I don't know the magazine's name, sorry :cry: ).
At the very top, "Takara Land" is referenced.

The second image:

He will contain die-cast and plastic.
He will stand 30 cm tall.
(The other information is pretty much the same as above.)

The third image:

Gives background information about Megatron. For instance: Who is he? What is his history?

Things that the articles do not discuss:
Color
Modification ideas
The designers
Accessories

Update from Dengeki Hobby magazine

In particular, Megatron will have a LED inside his fusion cannon. Also, Megatron's head is based on the Transformers "The Movie"
