Takara Tomy Nightmare Megatron Re-issue

For the love of Prinus kill that thing with FIREPOWER BLAST
But in all seriousness it looks great. Shame TR has so many great figures coming soon. Also isn't helping the Switch is going to be burning a hole through my wallet not too long from now

Not even the awesome DOTM Voyager?

Is there really a need for this release? I keep watching the second hand price drop on these on Mandarake (11,000 JPY / US$98 unopened), they're really going to plummet when this batch comes out.

Isn't it Leader class, not Voyager?

Hello? This is the LEADER mold.

In fairness...

There was an error in the article.

I will say that those colours are pretty sexy. A shame that in order to be an even remotely good toy you need to yank his arms off and replace them with 3P offerings (though the new arms do increase his awesomeness a thousandfold).

There is a Knock off of the purple accented version it's usually way under $60.00 these days - but there is a tweaked KO as well that has some new pieces like the new arms and and really really nice new head and some forward wingletts to improve the tank mode look - it's still taller than it should be in vehicle mode - but it's also a huge improvement over the official one. and I'd buy that in preference to the Takara one myself.

The slightly tweaked KO Leader Brawl is also a slight improvement too or at least as good as the legit Asian Exlusive 0 though it does have some odd gaps in the front upper portion of the tank body - they are pretty slight - and the other changes make him more Movie accurate and he's way cheaper and just as nicely painted as the Asian exclusive which costs the blood of your first born these days.

This mold was crappy in 2009, and it's crappy now...
