Transformation Video for Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-14 Bonecrusher Released

Posted by D-Maximal_Primal Nov 4, 2023 at 9:02pm CDT 111,171 views
Thanks to ToyBase on Youtube, we have our first transformation video for the upcoming Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-14 Bonecrusher! This video gives us some size comparisons in robot mode and in alt mode for Bonecrusher compared to MPM-4 Optimus, as well as a full vehicle to robot conversion sequence.

Bonecrusher appears to have a very intuitive yet straightforward transformation, with some awesome little details such as how his crotch wheels in the inner thighs are formed, and how much of his alt mode goes into his giant claw.

Also briefly shown off are the flame effects from when he smashes through the bus, his alternate claw pieces, and his alternate face from when Prime gives him a solid punch.

Check out the video below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

I am so excited for Bonecrusher. He is my favorite movie Con, and he looks so good!

I agree 100%.
But I've been burned twice by preordering MPM Starscream and Blackout from Amazon.JP.
I paid the high price and the high shipping, only for the damn things to pop up on clearance locally with free shipping.

I WILL get that Bonecrusher, but this time, I'll bid my time and wait for the local sale.

I already got his preorder down to $120 shipped, so I think I've got him good here

I dunno how you did it, but for me, preordering from Amazon.JP amount to a whopping 27K yen, shipped and taxed.
As for ordering from Canadian stores, the base price of the toy is more expensive, but the shipping is much cheaper. The total is still 265$CAN though.

And for some reasons, I can't find it in any American online stores.

So, yeah.
I have no choices but to wait.

MPMs are Target exclusives in the US.

Usually, these exclusives won't stop independent retailers to have them in stock.
Regardless, no wonder D-Max could order it for cheap. Target have some weird pricing policies and they throw coupons around like business cards.

Too bad Target died in Canada years ago.

True, but they would be importing from Japan (or perhaps Asia) plus a markup which doesn't really make for much of a savings, if any.

That's how it usually goes.

I hope Bonny will be like MPM Starscream and Blackout and be available everywhere for a long time like a locust plague in Canada. Then the inevitable sale will come and I'll be willing to get one.

How many of you watched the early review for MPM Bonecrusher from PrimevsPrime? There's a moment where he is a bit puzzled by how the ratchets sound and feel when moving the leg back. He wasn't the only person to sense that and a fan who purchased Bonecrusher recently (now that he's being found at retail) wanted to get to the bottom of it so they disassembled that section. And low and behold: they found the joint was broken. You can see the image below. Its unknown if the Ratchet joint comes broken in these examples or if it broke after handling, nor do we know how widespread the issue is. We just wanted to give you a heads up an explain why this area of your toy may not seem right when you handle it.

Oooof....

At 240$CAN plus taxes, that's one more reason to wait for a sale.

These mounting QC issues are concerning on a number of releases.

Looks like there is one already, albeit this isn't known to be a widespread issue.

Unscrewing the four screws in the back of the crotch piece, a user was able to supply this picture, where the image on the left is the problem, and the picture on the right is the correct position.

That IS a QC issue. This is a missassembled part. Something that should have been built and inspected correctly.

This is one of the main reasons why I'm not buying anymore MP figures from HasTak.

Fortunately this part doesn't look too difficult to reproduce in CAD and 3D print with ABS plastic.

Change "not buy anymore" to "not pre-order anymore." Why limit yourself? Just wait and see how the general quality will be. Furthermore, MPM toys are expensive but are widely available everywhere and WILL go on sale sooner or later. So, no rush.

My copy's ok. Pretty good figure, transformation isn't necessarily complicated but there are a ton of steps. Steps that I will likely never memorize :michaelbay:
