Fellow Seibertronians, TonTon Review is at it again, this time bringing us a review of the upcoming Masterpiece Movie MPM-09 Jazz figure! Thanks to forum members Nathaniel Prime and Riley Hoffman for sending us this scoop! If you're not already familiar with TonTon Review on YouTube, know that these reviews are narrated by a computer generated voice translating into English from another language. TonTon gives us a nice look at both modes of MPM-09 Jazz, his Pontiac Solstice and robot forms, both looking incredibly screen accurate. He also offers some size and detail comparisons with other versions of Movie Jazz, including the Human Alliance release from several years ago and the more contemporary Studio Series Deluxe Class figure from 2018. The transformation is VERY intricate, as would be expected for a Masterpiece release, to get every detail from the Pontiac Solstice mode into just the right place in robot mode for the most screen accurate version of Movie Jazz we've seen to date in toy form. TonTon shows off the transformation both ways, from car, to robot, and back again, taking some time in robot mode to show off some of the accessories that come with this Masterpiece release, including a Sam Witwicky figure holding the Allspark, Jazz's signature cannon-shield, and a robotic spine piece to help replicate Jazz's battle with Megatron in the first movie. Have a look at the video yourselves below!



What do you think of this latest in the line of Masterpiece Movie figures from Hasbro and Takara Tomy? Will you be adding Movie Jazz to your collections? Let us know in the forums and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

:lol:

I really like the figure, and I think he's well worth the price. I do wonder, did Barricade sell at a similar price? Because I dont see why they could exclude a minifigure of frenzy.

I was also surprised to see that his backpack isn't made with faux parts (not 100% at least)

I HATE transforming RiD (2001) Hot Shot, but I would go Sisyphus on that toy forever if only to avoid transforming this Jazz toy once.

Looks beautiful, though. But the Kim Kardashian kind, where there's so much crazy coming off it that the Hate Plague cries in jealousy.

Jazz genuinely looks fantastic. I think he's out of scale though like bee and barricade which is a bit annoying.

The nails don't bother me, but the bug at 24:43 ooks me out.

Jazz look really good and the articulated figures are cool. I dig the movie Jazz design.

He seems to have mistransformed the legs, there's a die cast part that looks like a toe on the outside of the legs when he's taking him from vehicle mode to robot mode that he doesn't swing down. Understandable though, as he probably doesn't have any instructions. He's probably an employee at the factory that keeps the test shots and reviews them.

You don't get it at all. There's a big difference between wants levels and just downright hating the thing. Like hit-n-running in bayformer thread just to say you hate bayformers (like a certain poster always do) for example.

Please stop being an extremist. There's more than black and white in this world.


Nah it's just being cheap. Nothing more, nothing less. >:oP

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. Waiting for sales is not, never has been, and never will be “cheap”. It’s intelligent. I can easily afford these figures as well, but I don’t pay full price if I can at all avoid it.


Every single MPM figure, every single one, has hit massive discounts on Amazon. At this point, paying full price is a bit stupid.


You need some life experience, son.

It makes little difference to Takara of these are on sale or not as they already got their money when suppliers bought stock, what they want is not to be hit by unsold stock. Waiting for sales is a viable tactic to getting the best for your cash. Especially if you can put down the FOMO monster (Fear Of Missing Out).

Items sitting on shelves for a long period of time decreases the chances of stores ordering the same or similar items which then leads manufacturers to not make items in the future or cut corners. It's a sad and stupid way of thinking of a brand new figure to wait for a discount. Improve ones situation with some ambition and all is well.

That FOMOnster is a real asshole and a hard one to slay :-(

Absolutely nothing wrong with waiting on a sale, I do it all the time for my maybe list. Even though I really like the look of MPM Jazz, that's where it sits.

If it goes on sale cool, but too bad for me if I miss out.

I have a strong feeling that isn't the scenario here, and I think you're being a tad dramatic. These will sell well, the first shipment and when the sales hit. Nothing to do with ambition. If you want to get this on release then all power to you :) there'll be more shipment for you to grab ;)

Trolling by who-know-who aside, that Jazz is DA BOMB!
Truly, the good old Human Alliance is now officially outdated. At first, I feared the MPM Jazz's backpack would be one lazy "same-old, same-old" bullcrap that we see on every single figures. But now I see that even though the backpack is still there, it's cleverly camouflaged with details! Even the back of the legs have not been neglected.

Let's hope by the time I finally clear my card off my latest binge purchases, it will go on sale. That would be one hell of a happy coincidence!

Just wait for mpm Fallen, and they do an even better removable face effect ;) :lol:

Though I do feel they missed a trick with mpm Optimus not including a different torso so you can recreate his death from rotf..

While I mostly despise the movies themselves (except for the eternally awesome Bumblebee), I actually like most of the movie designs. Megatron is a huge exception to that. I loathe that design.


That said, from a certified hater, that figure does look gorgeous. I don't know how the quality holds up on it (the larger MPMs have a shit track record), in the looks department, they knocked it straight out of the park.

The MPM is great quality too. I plan to talk more about him tomorrow, but so far I have very little to complain about. He's really good quality. And heavy too. Lots of die cast in him.

And yep, 12 when the movie came out. That was my door in

I was a G1 kid and my first was Optimus Prime. That was one awesome way to start! Then I got Defensor and Apeface. However, this dumb brat destroyed/donated/sold them all.... Those were the only transformers I ever got as a kid.

But then, the 2007 movie sparked the flames and the ROTF one sealed the deal. Got all of those G1s back too... at great Ebay price, of course.

Honestly, this guy’s pretty solid. He’s way less fiddly than Optimus; everything tabs together in both modes pretty well, and I’m not worried about breaking any fragile bits off of him.

In Robot Mode, I wish he had more ankle tiltage, more poseable fingers, and a more accurate flail accessory. But aside from those minor quibbles, I’m pretty stoked to have him.

“Jet-thing” mode is relatively simple to get him into, but I feel as though his “arm nacelles” are pointing more upward than the “nosecone”. And then of course there’s that massive case of VHS (Visible Head Syndrome), but whatever.

Bayverse (and Prime's) Megatron simply doesn't give a single fok about disguising and hiding. I like that because it just show that Megatron is one powerful (and overconfident) MOFO.

Well, why does the alien vehicle mode need to be a disguise? Or have a cockpit?

The alien vehicles (at least in the Bayverse) are NOT disguises. They serve a function that the bot mode cannot do meaning flying or burly ground combat. As for the "cockpits" they are merely decorative. I don't remember any Bayverse alien vehicles have cockpits appart from non-transforming vehicles meant to be piloted.

Only on Earth where disguising themselves in altmode is important... unless you are a powerful :CON: who just don't care.

As for the "cockpits" they are merely decorative. I don't remember any Bayverse alien vehicles have cockpits appart from non-transforming vehicles meant to be piloted.

Only on Earth where disguising themselves in altmode is important... unless you are a powerful :CON: who just don't care.

Pretty much this ^ I'd also add that the disguises are mandatory through the Transformers all powerful god...Hasbro ;)

"Is it Fear or Courage that compels you fleshling?"

The time has come, and MPM-08 Movie Masterpiece Megatron is arriving in-hand for all the movie fans (and hopefully more fans elsewhere) to enjoy. As a huge movie fan myself, I could not wait for this figure. I was more excited for this figure than I was for any other figure this year, including MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron, Ectotron, and even MPM-09 Jazz. This specific Megatron has a very special place in my heart, and I really wanted it to be good.

So is it?

In the famous words of another Megatron: Yessssss

Let's start just by looking at this robot mode head on. The figure is faultless. The design is dead on to the original Movie Megatron design. It's also both cool and important because this is the first mainline figure to utilize that Movie 1 design since the first movie itself.

Let's take a look.

Image

The robot mode is tall, hefty, and imposing. He looks like he walked right off the 2007 theatre.

Now take a look at that headsculpt! That is a mean Megatron face right there, captured in gorgeous detail and with some well placed paint to help it stand out. The mouth is posable, and it looks great open or closed. They nailed it.

And take a look at how tall he is! This Masterpiece figure is as tall as a Prime Wars Combiner, which is really impressive.

Image

Image

Looking around the figure some more, there is a backpack on him, but honestly considering the design, I think this is as close as they could get to minimizing it. The good thing is that backpack is only really noticeable once you start moving around to view him from behind, and it blends in fairly well from a back view.

Image

Image

Also, while we are around back, take a look at the weapon storage. The gun tabs in down behind his waist, and the flail piece pegs into the gun and the back stabilizer wing.

Image

And here we have my favorite of his accessories: the Allspark. I have wanted one of these since the movie came out, and it is awesome to see it here. The cube is very intricately detailed, and is painted a beautiful silver.

The cube itself can fit into Megatron's chest, so you can recreate his famous 2007 Death Scene, or maybe just pretend he is powered up on it. either way, that translucent red plastic in his chest is fantastic looking.

Image

Image

Image

Since we are now on accessories, take a look at that flail. Now, this is one of the few down points about this figure that I have. The flail is made of soft plastic, so while he can swing it around and pose it, it is subject to the laws of gravity, so you can't get all the poses you want out of it, such as a mid-air flying flail. But it is still a nice piece, and I appreciate that they recreated the movie where he literally pulls his hand out of his arm into a flail.

Image

Image

His final accessory is his cannon. Now the cannon has 2 forms. The first is a blaster mode, where it replaces one of his hands and forms a pretty wicked looking gun hand. It makes a nice companion piece to his other hand has a flail.

The other form is that of his dual-handed fusion cannon, as seen in the first movie when he blasts Optimus. I really like the way they have it wielded and how it perfectly recreates his pose from the movie. I appreciate the effort they put into making it a single hand gun as well as a dual-handed cannon.

Image

Image

Image

Posing Megatron is also really fun. His fingers are all articulated, the head has multiple hinges to move around wherever you need it to go, and the arms and legs are very posable. The ankle tilts are a bit of an issue. He has some good ankle tilts with a lot of movement, but they have a soft tab area where they are either right upright or they are free to move and tilt, which limit his shallower ankle tiltage.

Before we get to comparisons, one last thing: he has spectacular light piping.

Image

So for some comparisons, here we have him beside his original voyager toy from 2007, his recent Revenge of the Fallen Studio Series toy, and the other Movie Masterpiece figures that have been released since the 2nd Bumblebee figure of the line.

Image

Image

Image

Breaking the mold of the larger Movie Masterpiece figures, Megatron's transformation is really fun! It takes less time to transform him than any of the other Movie Masterpiece figures, and he is far less finicky than any of the others too. It is fun to transform him, and it's not much of a chore.

The jet mode is a really nice looking alien jet mode too. Unlike a large portion of the fandom, I really like his 2007 jet mode, visible head and all. This is a lean and mean Megatron ready to batter you into submission. And the visible head makes his jet mode pretty darn scary when you see it flying at you.

It's also a very heavy robot, and the jet mode is not only huge in size, but you can feel the weight when you pick it up. The die cast is included in his midsection and his feet, so the weight is faily nicely distributed throughout, and the die cast in the middle of the jet mode fits in great with the plastic surrounding it, really giving Megatron a metal jet heart.

Image

Image

Image

Image

He also does a fairly good job of blending his robot parts in with the jet parts. While the robot parts are not fully hidden away, they add to his mean jet aesthetic, with the fingers giving the nose a pointy feel, and his feet looking like massive jet boosters.

Image

He also has some good weapon storage in this mode. The blaster tucks away between his robot mode feet, and blends in flawlessly with the back of the jet. The flail is a little less subtle, pegging in beside the jet. But at least it has somewhere to go.

Image

Image

And here we have his jet mode beside his 2007 self and some recent Studio Series Constructicons. His jet mode is absolutely massive.

Image

Image

So the final verdict on Megatron: He is spectacular. He was such an anticipated figure, and he lived up to expectations. He is massive, accurate, posable, and fun to play with. Robot mode can move and is beautiful, the transformation is fun, and the jet mode is absolutely gigantic. He's heavy, and he's tight.

He has a few weak spots. The ankle tilts could use a little bit better and smoother movement, the fingers could be made of a little bit more sturdy plastic, and the flail could have been made stiffer and segmented for posing. But those are minor points considering how much is excellent about this figure.

As the 2007 Megatron voyager was my first ever Transformer, I have been waiting a long time for this update. And I could not be happier with it. They nailed this Megatron, finally giving proper justice for the first Megatron many of us got to see and love.

Well done.

Really, that's what you got out of all that? :lol:

Although we can both agree those pillows are very comfy
