great scale im dying.
awesome look
gun a bit small??
epic.
hopefully different decepticon isignas are avalable like with shockwave.
price estimate. better not be $200 or i will kill takara. hopefully $150 or $160, maybe cheaper.
preorders

i knew i should have waited beat that third parties

oh yes

Barring delays, there is about a three month gap between MP releases. I expect him by June 2017

"MP-36"... So close, guys. SO CLOSE to making the best pun ever with the ID number. Alas, they were but two numbers off from making this Walther P-38 into MP-38.

Well today just got even better! absolutely loving this

I wonder if he would have been MP-50 if not for the growing number of 3P Megatrons.


And hopefully Takara will reissue Starscream, I gotta have him now that MP-Megatron's is due.

He looks very nice! Like that he has the extra uff for gun mode. Nergy mace, check. Battle damaged chest, head and face is a very nice touch!

Still utterly happy with my Despotron from Maketoys. It's colour scheme of silver is superior, as is the minimal kibble on his back. However, MP Megatron seems to be able to get his arm into the perfect aiming position for his Fusion Cannon!

All in all, this has to be as close to a draw as I've ever seen between MP and 3P.

true but i wouldnt want to wait that long

Well, Apollyon, you're getting the boot! I still can't believe it took this long, but WOW am I excited for this!!

Well... that looks really awesome! The battle damage is a nice touch, and the actual figure itself looks amazing!

Watch the Asian market exclusive accessory being an extra head and chest covered in Cosmic Rust.

dont tell me that

I also noticed that the cartoon-accurate faction symbol is likely a sticker. In one image, you can faintly see the lines surrounding it.

I'm basing it on the release gap between MP Inferno and Grapple. The gap between MPs is about 3 months.

MP-33 Nov 2016
MP-34 Jan 2017 (2 months barring delays)Plus this is a retool might be delayed more
MP-35 Feb 2017 Cheetas (hopefully no delays too)
MP-36 ??? (My estimate worst case June 2017 barring delays, I think this might be the most delayed given how finicky the first MP-05 was released and was a rushed job, maybe Takara would be careful with him now )

Anyways, I hope the "Star of Cybertron" accessory can also be implemented and that dagger he used against Optimus from his heel.

Have you handled any of the ones in between, like Soundwave, Sideswipe and Wheeljack? Most are quite deserving of the title.

Compare the first "not" official and the official images........whoever got to scoop the protofigure deserves a feather on his cap!

And this time, the stock extensions from U.N.C.L.E. is included!

You forgot IaernHIDE!

It's nice, it really is. It is not, however, better looking than Despotron. I may still buy it, depending on price, but I don't see a spot for this on my shelf, other than maybe hanging it on my wall in alt mode.

I think you have the cause and effect reversed. Once third-parties got word an MP Megatron 2.0 was in the works, they cranked out their own as quickly as possible.

Yeah, that makes more sense. Takara designers do work on 3p products too so they would know.

I doubt that they have inside information though. It was kind of a given that there would be an MP Megatron eventually.

Huh? Since when?

Wait, what?

Great news!
Looking forward to this as more gets revealed in the upcoming months by .
Any mention of an ETA?
