Hasbro is Gonna Make you Buy Another Siege Megatron with this New Shattered Glass Reveal

So, SG Megs link brings up a 404 page.
Tried ordering twice and was extracted from cart. either they sold out That fast or the page wasn't ready for the influx of traffic.
Either way, i am SOL until it comes back up.


EDIT: Link went live again and i got my order in.

Many are tired of the mold but Hasbro is banking on you letting this new release slide since the newly revealed Transformers Shattered Glass Megatron has new parts to give the old mold a new alt mode. And he costs the same as a regular voyager, which is a pretty sweet deal. Plus with this redeco, you get the nice presentation for MOSC collectors and a special comic. All for $29.99. He is coming out October first of this year.

He can be ordered here: https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... iant-cover

Includes: Megatron figure, Fusion Cannon, sword and shield accessories, and instructions.

Lolol definitely this one because they just shoehorned it in and Broadside's jet was part of the actual design

I love my Broadside but I never use his jet mode, and I mainly got him because I couldn't afford a fansproject assaulter at the time

...I can't believe they actually went the extra mile and made him a triple-changer for no reason other than some semblance of accuracy to the original, those absolute mad lads. I've already preordered this, and it looks like I did it just in time as the price has increased now, and after the similar situation with the ER Centurion Drone I feel like those who got orders in with the lower price will in fact only have to pay the lower price, so that's awesome. VERY curious to see how Starscream and Goldbug turn out now, hopefully the fact that they seem to be referencing the original molds more means that Starscream will 100% be a Tetrajet.

Also joke's on you, News Team, I've never bought this mold before!

The figure looks nice, I like the paint job. There's at least more work gone into this than Blurr who only has a headswap with his repaint. It's clear that this is inspired by Energon Megatron.

But my god, the asking price from Hasbro in the UK? £34.99 is a bit much. To put it in perspective for the American buyers, that's the equivalent of $48. I was kinda happy to see that Pulse was being spread to other countries but the fact that Hasbro are charging UK fans a premium beyond the added price this already has, just doesn't sit well with me.

If they'd added about £4 to the original £23.99 of the Voyager price, roughly equivalent to what they added to the price for Americans, it'd be more acceptable (that's despite the fact that £23.99 is already higher than the American retail cost). It's a shame because I do kinda like the look of the figure but I cannot justify the price hike for a Voyager quality figure.

If it were like SS86 Hot Rod, who is smaller but has a much higher quality than pretty much any other Voyager we've had in a long time, then maybe it'd be okay. But with this Megatron that looks good but as a figure is largely just acceptable with a lot of hollow cavities? Nah.

And that's why the alt mode was bugging me in the back of my head...

looks like they will. There's a 5mm peg on both the sides and the tops of the wings, the side ones are for the spaceship configuration and the tops for the way they're oriented in robot mode.

Americas price has gone up, hasbro makes sure fans in every country gets screwed these days XD


On a side note I didnt realise it's the Siege mold so I'm out on this one unless Hasbro some how throws a free figure in with him (it's not that far off what SG Prime and Ratchet cost me). Kapows saying prices off hasbro figures to receive price hikes (which for most cases they already have -especially charging the next size class up prices for the size below it for some)

Yeah, it wasn’t until a little while after I posted that I saw the wings require partsforming. Oh well, still going to keep my preorder. Also worth noting is they did seem to include the original sword, meaning that there is the option to retain the mold’s tank mode so that’s nice, unless there’s more extensive retooling that isn’t seen. Either way, I’ll be displaying him in robot mode like everything else I own. I hope they do some similar “close enough” efforts for the remainder of this subline, even if they don’t require it that badly (who’s left that was rumored; Goldbug, Starscream and Jetfire right?)

Overcracker wrote:Good attempt. Instead of a Tank accessory, he turns into an actual tank, but I don't see a sword. His Turret gun piece which doubled as a sword does not seem to be shown here even though it is stated to be there in the description.

For those wondering what this is trying to reference:

got this from Botcon's Facebook post. looks like he comes with all of Siege Megatron's accessories
