Takara-Tomy have updated their website with details of a redeco of their Sega Megadrive Megatron. The Megadrive you may recall was re branded the Sega Genesis for its US release – and this Megadrive Megatron redeco seems to commemorate that part of the console’s history.
Genesis Megatron near as we can tell is a Takara-Tomy Arts E-store exclusive.

There's no listing for the Genesis version on AmiAmi or HLJ, so the usual Japanese online retailers aren't offering it.
I would assume you'd need a middleman for the TT Arts shop, but I don't know that for sure.
You could wait and see what prices places like Mandarake/Jungle offer it for.

This is available on BBTS and TFSource for $120. Anyone know if it is available anywhere else? Can US people buy from the TT arts online shop?

While I am a fan of the transformers and the old school sega genesis (my first gaming system that I owned) I just don't see the point behind Segatron. If somebody already called him that, I apologize for not being as clever as I thought.

Anyone know if bbts or TFsource well have pre-orders on the Genesis version

The whole mechanism for the feet is pretty week, I don't know how much they can really fix them as is with a real remold.

I hope the feet and ankles are a little bit more stiff on this version. The Megadrive version's feet are a bit too free form.
I just love this mold by the way. The engineering and attention to detail is sick.

No, the alt mode of the system is a little bigger than a cartridge for the system.
So does anyone know how to purchase one of these? Do any of the import shops get any of these web exclusives?
Triggerhappy
the cartridges could have been the cassettes!!

a Megatron which turns into a Sega console with pre installed Sonic games would be awesome
DesertDog
Yes, exactly. A Genesis Galvatron to go with Megadrive Megatron and I'd hit preorder like lightening.
Sponge
Lol no, no it does not

If TFsource is going to carry this SEGA Genesis Megatron, I might wanna preorder it when they list it on the website!

I just got the Mega Drive version in so I won't bother double-dipping (and I like this a lot, just not enough to buy a marginally different version)…
…BUT, if they'd stuck a new Galvatron head on there, with the purple bits already thrown in and maybe tweaked the "cannon" piece a bit, I probably would buy it then.

I know this is a stupid question but does it play the video games? I need a new sega

Now if only this were an American online exclusive. Still looks awesome.

This looks a little nicer looking.

It's good American fans can have a genesis version, bad Takara didn't anounce it earlier.

Controller cable on the arm makes me think of shockwave not megatron… Interesting mold, but as pointless to me as a megatron that turns into a shoe or a prime that turns into a hat…

Counting myself very fortunate that I couldn't swing Mega Drive Megatron financially this month, because I'd much rather have this version.
Cheebs
Yeah, bummer that my Megadrive Megatron is just shipping now. I would have preferred the Genesis version.
