Transformers: Robots in Disguise Mega Optimus Prime Commercial

That's not the "mega" OP. That's the good old 3 steps... Or is it, like, the upscaled version of the 3 steps?

It sure don't look like the Amazing OP coming soon from Takara.

I want it.

"HAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAuhoh"

Yes it is.


This is the 3-Step:

I don't think he meant it that way. It is worth noting that Mega OP has a lot of articulation for a 3-Step Changer. Though it's still only in his arms.

Hollowmus Prime.

Arent you guys so glad that this is the big Optimus Hasbro gives us while Takara gets this lame one here (pictures below) with articulation, electronics, accessories and actually converts into a workable trailer where you can store your deluxes?

Nice one!

Yeah, see pictures above for what I meant. Lemme tell you, that Takara OP is so preordered!

That Takara Optimus with electronics and articulation looks waaaaayyyyyyyyy more show accurate and is much better than the Hasbro Warrior Optimus.

Totally agree with you. Any news on a price yet?

Oh yeah, its Takara leader price. Everyting is in the Takara TAV thread. Sadly, the toy is already sold out from the japanese importer.

Sadface. That's okay. I don't need another Optimus Prime. I could do with a modern update of God Ginrai, but as far as Optimus is concerned, my Robot Masters Convoy is my absolute favourite G1 Prime.

Wal-Marts in Canada have started stocking Wave 3 Transformers Robots In Disguise! We have some shots of Warrior Class Jazz & Sideswipe, and 1-Step Ninja Sideswipe & Night Ops Bumblebee sitting on pegs. Coincidentally, ToysRus is having a sale right now (20% off $29.99 and lower, June 19-25) so start hunting and take advantage of that and Wal-Mart's price matching policy. See the pics below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

I am such a grade A MORON! I was too busy concentrating on getting the rainchecks that I forgot to just do pricematch.

Naw. Price matching is great and all, but only works while the sale is active. You've no idea how many times I've found something I cold have price matched the day before

Going to walmart this week.

If you want overpriced Platinums that even on sale, are still overpriced, you're in luck.

TrU Canada have the insecticon pack at 90$ and the Butterscotch Optimus at "only" 180$.

Also, MP Bluestreak was found in Laval, Quebec! A MP IN QUEBEC!... At moddafokking 90$.

Now that MPs and Platinums are finally in Quebec, they are all overpiced as fok.

Plot twist! Courtesy of the Australian Toys'R'Us stores website, we have a reveal of an additional figure for Transformers: Robots in Disguise Megatronus - and it's apparently a five-step changer, under the monicker of Mega 5 Step, too, for AUS$59.99 and a TRU exclusive.

But the even bigger news, for those following the animated series, comes from the bio reported on the listing for the toy. You have been warned about the spoilers contained after the images below!

Autobots beware, because Megatron is back and he's a whole lot scarier as Megatronus! This upgraded Decepticon leader has a double-bladed axe in robot mode for hardcore hand-to-hand combat. He converts from robot mode to tank mode in just 5 steps. Your Transformers clashes will never be the same once your Megatronus figure is on the hunt! Ages 6 and up

Actually it said on the show that this isn't Megatron upgraded! but one of the Primes gone rogue(a bit like The Fallen did...in ROTF)

nice figure...but I'll wait for the Warrior Class version

wow this figure is magnificent. i may not of like him as villain but he makes an awesome figure

But the question remain...

DOE HE HAVE KNEES?!

I watched all the episodes on line, and there will be a surprise in the last 2 episodes.
The toy is not bad, I might get it.

Sheesh, they have gotten something terribly wrong here... We already saw Megatronus on the show, he is one of the 13 Primes (basically the Fallen), he is NOT Megatron. Someone at hasbro did not get the memo.

Dissapointed if this is the best toy he has. Looks rather terrible. We need a proper Leader not these 1/3/5-step changers.

but one of the Primes gone rogue(a bit like The Fallen did...in ROTF)

Technically it is The Fallen. Megatronus Prime is what the Fallen was called before he turned

Okay, other then that new Megatronus and some more of the tiny titan things, have we actually seen anything new for RID at botcon? I am really, really surprised Hasbro "revealed" about 90% of what we already have seen (G1 deco Grimlock? Didn't we first see that last month?). The minicons? Already debuted at toyfair I believe. This year's botcon reveals outside of the CW line has been way below par.

Pretty sjre in the series its not megatron because of when we last saw megatron he did what megatronus did and was never seen again

Someone leave me a link of the whole season in english for me to watch for free i would really apreciate if someone could do that for me

If you scroll way down this guy's Facebook page(if your on Facebook, that is) he has links to episodes....once after the link...you can scroll down and they should have most of the episodes on there!

The bio's a mess, but the figure itself doesn't look half bad.

Here's another thing I would love (maybe not a product as of yet! but definitely would love it to be) y'know that computer search thingy that Fixit does? The Pokedex style thing! where he searches for Transformers as it flickers through hundreds of silouetted figures until he finds the one the team have came across. Well pity this feature isn't an app for Android or iPhone, as it would be pretty neat, & it would come with all the sound fx & music(used during those computer search scenes). I know the Android videogame has something like it....when you scan those symbols on the toys, but I would still like to see a sort of Transformersdex(like the pokemon one) app on Google Market

Do we know how large that Megatronus is? He looks like he might make a nice opponent for that GINORMOUS Optimus Takara is making.

Maxine Prime wrote:Do we know how large that Megatronus is? He looks like he might make a nice opponent for that GINORMOUS Optimus Takara is making.

Dunno? All I know is that he's a large 5 step.

If I had to guess...probably Leader Class or maybe bigger.

knowing me...he may turn out to be Voyager sized

as cool as Megatronus looks...I'm still sold on the more detailed or at least better transformation Warrior Class(I'm sure they'll be one eventually) but that 5 Step just looks as if it kinda partly folds over on itself & lays down(tank mode)

Okay, I looked at those ports on him (which are most likely 5mm), resized the image appropriately and, yeah. Around 12 inches. PERFECT.

You can thank BotCon being so close to SDCC these days for that. When they hold Botcon in early spring (April) or later summer (September) we seem to get more out of it. The last three BotCon's have been just a couple weeks before SDCC (July 8-12) which means Hasbro has to spread stuff out more between the two cons. April is really the best time for BotCon since it's far enough from Toy Fair in February and SDCC to show some good stuff, though September is also nice since it fills the long void from SDCC to Toy Fair (since they don't show very much at NYCC).

I'm guessing that at SDCC we'll be seeing the Titan Wars stuff they teased us with at BotCon. Who knows, maybe they'll even have something to say about MP Optimus Primal since that's such an American Transformers character.

The bio is wrong. spoilers... Megatronus is one of the 13 primes not the megatron from prime tas. That megatron became peaceful at the end of it.

Maxine Prime wrote:Okay, I looked at those ports on him (which are most likely 5mm), resized the image appropriately and, yeah. Around 12 inches. PERFECT.

He's listed on the box as a Mega so he'll be 11 inches like Mega Optimus Prime most likely. Might be a little too short.

Hasbro owns the series, if they say he's Megatron upgraded, he's Megatron updated even if the fiction says otherwise. Consider it another Armada Thundercracker, where the toy is Thundercracker, complete with new bio, but on the show he's just Starscream upgraded. Obviously you're free to consider the toy whatever you want if/when you buy it.

IT SAID IT ON THE EFFING SHOW MATE! That he's not Megatron! you obviously haven't watched the final episodes, if you haven't....go check em out & see for yourself

Yeah, but they also own the fiction. Unless you're seriously going to say that a one-paragraph-bio that was most likely written in error takes priority in canon over their own media. That's backwards as hell.
Like, who do you think is more important? A copy-writer who barely knows what they're doing, or the writers and designers who created the character specifically to be a different character?

Listen...If he wants to believe that this version of Megatronus is Megatron........then who are we to discourage his inaccuracies, obviously we know he's wrong! in this instance + he may not have watched the final episodes yet, He'll....let's face it....even in Beast Wars he took the name Megatron(although god knows what his original name was then?).

The Transformers Prime show started out with solid story telling. But it ended disjointed and confused. A confusion that was only amplified by that 'beast hunters' DVD movie, and now prolonged by the RiD show.

In the BH movie, Megatron(us) was rebuilt by Unicron, and at the end of the show, he pretty much just gave up, saying he'd 'experienced being dominated and wanted nothing to do with it anymore'. Then he just flew off into space, effectively abandoning the Decepticons.

So what has he been doing all that time? Will these episodes answer that? Did he just fly around the galaxy, 'thinking about what he'd done', like a child being told by his parents to sit in the corner?

And now that he's had a good long think - what? He's come back to start dominating again? Thinking about how bad dominating people is made him realize that he just wasn't doing it right or something? They're going to need some pretty big plugs to stop up all those plot holes they left after ending the Prime series. They never really said what happened to Starscream, or Shockwave, or Predaking, or the Predacons. And now suddenly Megatron(us) has flip-flopped yet again on his feelings about whether or not it's good to be 'dominating' others?

Save us, not from Decepticons, but from sloppy writing.

Well at the least, I hope they throw in some scenes where the other Decepticons tell Megatron(us) to take a hike. After all, he abandoned them and ditched them in a time of great need and left them to be 'dominated' by the Autobots. Steeljaw should be given a bang-up speech where he lets Megatron(us) have it for abandoning them in their hour of greatest need. Some 'leader' he turned out to be in this mythos. That is, if he even IS the same Megatron(us) from those Prime episodes. The text blurb seemed to indicate that it is, but who knows....

I'm confused, Megatron became a good guy in the end of Transformers Prime, and now, where did Megatronus come from? Idk I haven't watched 2015 RiD yet.

Megatronus is the Fallen and is NOT Megatron at all.

In the Aligned continuity, The Fallen is one of the Thirteen, who turned against them for various reasons, akin to Lucifer of Christian religion. His original name was Megatronus Prime, which is where Megatron got his name from.

I know you mentioned the app, but have you played it? because its pretty much exactly that. With that app already existing with pretty much exactly what you are asking for, I think Hasbro feels they already have that and wont make more than that.

Maxine Prime wrote:Do we know how large that Megatronus is? He looks like he might make a nice opponent for that GINORMOUS Optimus Takara is making.

While the size seems appropriate, he looks really subpar in terms of articulation. That amazing Optimus is a fully articulated Leader toy. This one is much simpler (his legs dont even transform and he has nothing going on in his forearms for articulation). The app had said he was Ultra Class which is similar to Leader Class toys (though a little smaller).

I agree that the RID showings were very lackluster. We didnt even see the Warrior Thunderhoof (the main toy fans are looking forward to seeing).

And Emerje, is there a precedent for Hasbro covering a Takara release at a show before? Because I dont think there has ever been a year where both Hasbro and Taara released the same MP simultaneously though I may be wrong. Also, Optimus Primal is just as important in Japan as he is in the US. The Optimus Prime character himself was first introduced in the US and they are both as much American Transformer Characters, so I dont know why Primal is any different.

BB Shockwave wrote:Dissapointed if this is the best toy he has. Looks rather terrible. We need a proper Leader not these 1/3/5-step changers.

I agree but Takara showed us that if they dont have the appropriate Leader toy they want, they will make one themselves outside of Hasbro. They did it for Optimus, they can do it for Megatronus too.

I think the bio on Megatronus might be Hasbro trying to not leak plot out by saying Megatronus is the returned Megatron. The same thing happened with Grindor/Blackout in ROTF. Paramount told them they couldn't leak certain plot points through the toys and CN might be doing the same.
