New Images of Takara Tomy Transformers Movie The Best Lockdown, Megatron, Bonecrusher, and Jazz

These look pretty cool, it's just weird because Jazz and Lockdown are both getting new molds soon, and I'd be shocked if Bonecrusher didn't get a new mold in studio series. Hopefully we get more pics of war hammer Bee soon, I have him ordered

DAMN, you SAVAGE!

Man I really want a new bonecrusher mold.

Even the most common movie figure now command some relatively high after-market prices. And there's always shipping. So for the latecomer to the hobby or those who regret missing out on some, might as well buy the premium Takara repaints. As long that "Premium Takara Repaints" remain a thing.

Do we have any updates on when these newer MB figures are releasing? TFSource is saying February while other sites are saying March.

The latest releases of Takara's Transformers Movie The Best line is out and while we have seen images of them in their packaging, we now have in hand images too. Several Twitter and Faceook users (all listed below) have uploaded images of the next wave of figures which include MB-12 Jazz, MB-13 Bonecrusher, MB-14 Megatron and MB-15 Lockdown. Below you will see the best images yet of these figures all in spiffy new paint jobs different from their original releases. We also get to finally know just how different this leader Megatron is from the previous release. He ends up being an entire shade lighter, along with the striking red paint on his face. Check out the new images below, and let us know in the Energon Pub Forums if you'll be picking these figures up or will be waiting for Hasbro's upcoming Studio Series!

Oh, come on! Jazz looks exactly like his original release but with a new weapon! The Premium series did a better paintjob TEN YEARS AGO.

The weapon isn't new: it originally came with Final Battle Jazz, the one with the battle damage:

The MB one is the first to bundle both, so no need to double dip this time around... though the price may render that point moot.

Lockdown has weapons and his visor! YAY!

Megatron has his Quintessa bitch-slap!

It isn't ironic, Takara Tomy is also releasing the Studio Series line and would have known about them before they announced the 2018 Movie the Best run.

So, getting a better look at Megatron it does seem he did retain the silver paint wash, it just doesn't show up well in pictures. I'm fine with this, what I'm not fine with is AmiAmi wanting $35 to ship it... Good thing I have some other stuff ready to ship so I'm just waiting for them to recalculate and hopefully I can offset the cost.

Be sure your stuff is scheduled to come out the same month or you are screwed. I learned my lesson with them and Hobby Search. Now I think I'm done with preorders for stores that don't have a "pile-of-loot" system.
