TFW2005 boards member daimchoc, via 低像素测评公司 on Weibo, has brought us a good look at 3rd party company Megasteel’s upcoming Granville figure, an unofficial take on the Stormbringer Megatron design as originally drawn by fan-favorite Transformers artist Don Figueroa. Granville is roughly Voyager-sized, and should be releasing shortly. These images show off both his robot mode and tank mode.
Check it out after the break!

Did anyone ever make a 3d printed replacement lower torso? Both my copies crumbled with the diecast and what i glued together was lost in the post when i sent it to be measured and 3d printed

They don't have storage that I can recall.
The hands are still finicky on mine. The back treads still fall out. But yeah he still looks great.
He's perfect opposite my Perfect Effect Prime.

A little bit of thread necromancy…
I just took my Tronus/Granville out of the box. All the hinges have become incredibly stiff over the past couple of years, and I really dreaded transforming him. The metal piece which holds the head broke off the last time, and now the disintegration continued when the clip that holds the black piece broke off. Everything flops around in robot mode, and the front treads which sit on his back in robot mode just fall out completely. Hands were an even bigger bitch to swivel out than before. Feet have become incredibly floppy.
Overall, the bastard still has presence in robot mode, but man… it's not to be touched.
I can't locate the 2 smaller guns, do they have some interior storage which I may have used? I rarely lose parts, and they are not in my parts boxes…

assuming you mean combiner wars, and that megatron towers over rid01 unarmored prime

Perhaps the Leader class Megatron from the Power of the Primes line would be the right size?

I have two of them and neither of them have decent feet.
The gun is super loose too – but he's an ok display piece if you get one cheaply
Fenrys
Gotcha, it’s admittedly been awhile since I had rid prime in hand.

Gravile seems abit taller than 7 inches while rid01 prime is 8 inches. I wouldnt mind megs being a bit taller than prime but not the other way around.
Fenrys
Shouldn’t the prime be shorter if you’re not using the armored mode? Granville is roughly old ultra size whereas rid01 prime should be more comparable to mega
PrimeDaddy16112723
thanks this really helps alot. seems granville is an inch too short to stand with my prime. the search continues.
LondoFoollari
Incidentally, can anyone suggest how to stop his foot being so floppy?
Already put nail polish on the pegs to the back treads to stop them falling out.
LondoFoollari
Does this help?
He’s roughly the same height as RID Megatron or Voyager Movie One Megatron View attachment 28102659View attachment 28102660

Tossing up between him and the KBB black version of titans leader Megatron, but I love the stormbringer look, so can’t decide

While not worth full price, I've had him a while now. I managed to get him for around the 50 mark. Always wanted that design, love the look. And I like how he has a younger looking face. This is pre Earth megatron. The Megatron who started the war. He has some nice posing, a couple of nice accessories. His chest needed a locking mechanism as it slides forward every time I pick him up, and his front tank treads could do with a bit of a firmer lock in his back. Also I nearly snapped some small tabs off when transforming him due to the horrible way the front treads click in. But he's also been the front and centre of my classic cons shelf for a few years. Do I reccomend him? Only if you can get him for below 50 quid, and only if you want the Stormbringer design. There are better voyager megatrons out there, but there is only one stormbringer megatron.
And now I want to go transform him into tank mode.

I've literally had 0 problems with my copy in terms of q.c.

does anyone have him cheap?
i feel he would make a good idw bludgeon
Max Tower
He's very fragile he won't stand up to rough handling. best to treat him as an Actionmaster or buy 2 and keep one in vehicle mode.
He's nice to look at though.
