There's the stomach sections and the shape of the legs as well that homage G1 Megatron.

 

There's even more then that. I've circled a few that I've found.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing!

 

Paramount's call.

Also Paramount's call.

He already does.

 

Nice. Golden Lagoon Megatron.

 

That's true!  

 

Do you know what would make a nice change? A modern Armada Optimus. That would be great. In fact, a masterpiece with a fully articulated super mode trailer would be an instant buy. But no one will make it because it's not G1. We can get 100s of Devastators but not one Armada Optimus.

 

Back in 2013 Takara held a poll as to what their next Masterpiece figure should be. The top 3 results where Star Saber(which exists), Optimus Primal, and Armada Optimus. Two of those exist now. Although one took longer to make. It showed there was a demand. Personally, I'd rather have a new Generations leader figure of that design. They did it with Megatron(poorly), but theres still a chance. If one so designed, an extreme retool of Powermaster Optimus would actually work.

 

Oh, my.
My pants haven't felt this tight all day

 

I just threw up in my mouth, horrible

 

It's cool, but doesn't really do anything for me.

 

looking at the original statue it's more evident its a g1 megatron homage

 

I can\'t wrap my head around the fact that there might be 350 people willing to spend $1000 actual dollars on this. For a grand, I would expect an automated transformation. It should at least be able to dismount and walk around.

 

pocket change to some collectors

how about a life size bobba fett for $8.495?

Star Wars Boba Fett Life-Size Figure by Sideshow Collectible

there's some big spenders out there with a high disposable income

 

That's was because of Armada's anniversary though, right?

 

I like to think I'm doing alright financially, but I'm buying something more impressive than this thing for a grand. I'm buying a motorcycle or doing some remodeling for $9k. To each their own, I guess, but this thing seems like a massive stack of boring for a thousand bucks.

 

well as the quote in my sig says people like different things

 

If this is not a toy, what is it?

Is it a false idol for worshippers to offer human sacrifice in a Megatron shrine?

PEACE THROUGH TYRANNY!

Or is it a 3D version of a boy band poster you tape on the bedroom wall?

RELIGHT MY FIRE! YUR LUV IS MA ONLI DEESIRE!
