Transformers Masterpiece MP-05 - Megatron Prototype First Image Revealed

[1987olds442]

I didn't think Takara had it in them to do a gun mode of Megatron and I am really grateful that they are. Let's hope for the shoulder attachment and silencer.

New MP-05 Masterpiece Megatron Info - Accessories, Features

Information provided at Autobase Aichi has given us a few more details about the upcoming MP-05 release.

We are told that the trigger moves and there is a working safety lever. The fusion cannon is to have a working LED light, and Megatron comes packed with an energy mace. There is no mention of barrel extensions, scope, or stock.

I pre-ordered mine from a Canadian store "Ages Three and Up" yesterday for $94. That way I don't have to worry about having a US seller having to open the box and modify him with a orange plastic cap or sticker.

I also pre-ordered a Revoltech Convoy "Prime"

That looks like the best robot form of prime that I've seen. How big is it and does it transform?

Looks good except for the skinny thighs and awkward feet.

Masterpiece Megatron Confirmed To Be Diecast

From our friends at Fan To Fan:
- Kremzeek figure included (different mold from the one that comes with Kiss Players Autorooper x Atari)
- Working Trigger action when in Gun mode
- Same size as MP-01 G1 Convoy!!
- LED gimmick in scope
- Die-cast parts
- Memorable accessories include energy mace, laser-cutter and gun from Transformers: The Movie (used by Megatron in the fight with Optimus Prime).
- New transformation designs and concepts, for example moving the trigger part to the legs, improving overall Robot proportion.
- Due to toy gun regulation in the US, Walter P-38 Megatron was never in the plans when the Japan team worked with the US team. MP-05 Megatron is designed and developed solely by the Japan team, solely for the Japan market.

Thanks to 2005 Boards Member Cyclone_X for the news.

I'm pissed that this won't be available in the US or for imports. I need some Canadian friends to sneak this into the country for me.

 

[nosebleed.]

He won't be avail for import into US? Howso? I think I'll hit up that Canadian website, thanks Olds.

Man...I can't get over how awesome this looks. I can't wait to figure out how to transform him. This is GREAT!

 

[Erzengel]

US laws prohibit the sale or transfer of replica guns unless they make it some funky colors.

But I don't need my megatron to have a hot orange barrel.

 

[nosebleed.]

My only regret with this is that there is not going to be a silencer or shoulder attachment. But I'm sure kitbashers will solve that.

Here's a nice big clear pic...good find Olds. Non-transformable though.

Good news...

Masterpiece MP-05 Megatron Will Be Packaged In Robot Mode

According to Lost and Found Toys Masterpiece MP-05 Megatron will come packaged in Robot Mode. If accurate all the debate about the orange barrel modification was possibly for nothing and the online retailers that currently are offering it won't have to go that route.

 

[Erzengel]

I hope it works out. I really want that Megatron.

 

[nosebleed.]
