Fellow (and new!) Seibertronian MachineHeart88 has shared with us a video review / look at the new and upcoming Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece Megatron, in its second incarnation in the line! Check it out below, along with some images from TFW2005's user tco's in hand images of the Decepticon leader in his many faces.

That.. actually looks a lot kibblier than I was expecting?

Don't get me wrong I'm still totally in love with the way this guy looks, but with such a super-clean front side I was surprised to see the number of panels and various pieces hanging out on his back. Gun mode looks a right treat, though I'm still unsure as to what the situation will be in Australia with all those replica gun laws and things, and I still adore the whole battle-damaged thing he can have going on!

Bottom line I'm still almost certainly going to spring for this guy if I can - and seeing that he's not perfect weirdly makes him more appealing to me I think. Either way, it'd be great to have the two definitive faction leaders finally facing off in my collection!

"Give me your face!"

No no no, uhm....

*deep menacing Orson Wells voice* "Behold, Megatron's face"

NO! :BANG_HEAD: Ugh, being witty yet keeping the reference is harder than it looks...

(Recorded conversation between Takara and Megatron, circa 2016)

"You will lend your likeness to a Masterpiece 2.0 figure. It is the one thing, the only thing, that can get us more money."
"Why should I? I've already got an MP! What's in it for me?"
"Your previous figure was highly dubious. ...But very well. We will give you multiple faces, and battle-damaged parts to swap out."
"And?"
"AND NOTHING! ...Well, maybe an energy pistol with optional beam accessory, that energy saber that's totally not a lightsaber, an energy mace with swappable articulated chain and actual chain, the Key to Vector Sigma, and that silly helmet you wore that one time."
"..."
"You belong to me, now."

...I spent way too much time on that. :lol:

He's a kibbly mess that only looks good from the front, his transformation looks like an absolute ballache, and he's boring, flat grey. If I ever get an MP Megatron, this will not be it. Sorry, Takara, but your "100% G1 accuracy to the exclusion of good design and aesthetics" philosophy just isn't for me. Maketoys will get my money (again, assuming I ever get an MP scaled Megatron).

Not gonna lie, I hate that I want this figure. I'd bet I have a ton of fun with it. I'm sad I cancelled my pre-order!! :-(

He's got flaws, but as mentioned above, the flaws make me like him. If he was perfect in both modes something wouldn't be right with the transformation..or something.....somewhere..!!

He actually looks pretty "clean" to me.

To me, Megatron's transformation must be fun, and not a nightmare. That is the true engineering challenge. This is the prime reason why leader class combiner wars Megatron got my money more than twice. He looks like the G1 megatron I know, and his transformation is quicker than my short fuse. And I can actually see how they can engineer a simple gun megatron from the CW megatron (so please don't tell me it can't be done).

I would say that MP01 Optimus' transformation, while takes abit of time, is really fun. I can't say the same for many gun G1 Megatron (the previous MP megs and Apollyon for eg). This piece looks like another transformative-nightmare however good the figure looks, which is probably the reason why the Youtube vid person did not proceed to transform him.

I wanna see how Megatron is transformed this time. Pun intended.

I did :( TFL asked for payment a few weeks ago (typically I just pre-buy things with them) and I said I wasn't sure if I had the funds. He said he'd hold it for me, I said "nah, give someone else a chance".

REGRETS!!!!!!!!

Darkside MP Megatron? What is this?

MP Megatron doesn't have a darkside, haven't you seen all his happy faces?! :-D

His poseability looks good but he also looks like a kibbly nightmare to transform. Still utterly happy with Despotron. I hope those who get this Megatron as equally as happy.

Or, in other eyes, (like mine), he looks solid and strong, with great poseability and a damned fine transformation. He's a really good quality product who is perfect for Megatron for me. He fits in with Prime nicely. Less of the excessive cartoon accuracy that the line has veered towards in recent offerings.

As with most things, this is all subjective. My opinions may not line up with yours and that's just fine.

I love just about everything about Masterpiece Megatron, except for his robo vagina.
