Eh, my opinion on Megatron is still fluctuating. And these pics aren't helping much. Jazz looks phenomenal, would get him in a heartbeat, but I don't have the cash to spare. Also, it's kinda funny that HasTak made a bee movie mpm bumblebee, but not shatter or dropkick to go along with him. Then again, I'm probably saying this cause I want a triple changing dropkick or shatter
I've never seen any Hasbro US Movie MPs in a store. I suppose you can just buy them online if you can do that. I think I'm going to stick with my HA Jazz. It just looks better and is bigger. As for that MPM Megatron, is he just lying down for his transformation with the wings out? LOL
Oke, I like this new movie Megatron, This one looks a LOT better than the leader class of the first movie. Jazz and also Barricade are very nice but are they really that much better than the Human Alliance versions Don´t get me wrong, I see some improvements, but they cost much more money (HA Barricade 40 Euro´s, MPM Barricade about a 100 ). Same for MPM Optimus and Ironhide who also suffer with issues. I have the WASP ko MPM3 Bumblebee (50Euro´s) and the Human Alliance version (20 Euro´s) and yes, I like the MPM version more but not enough to pay 100 Euro´s for an original version. So I did not buy another MPM version anymore cause I don´t see that much improvement over the older versions that justify those much higher price tags. Shortly said, I´m a bit dissapointed in this line...
Absolutely. It's not even close. The paint, quality, proportions, sculpting detail, cgi accuracy, and articulation are much better than the HA figures.
I am really looking forward to have Jazz in hand! Megatron i will get also and really hoping that they will continue the line for a full movie 1 mpm line!
I'm hopeful that Starscream is next and that Ratchet and Brawl are 11 and 12. I want nothing more than the complete 2007 movie cast at this point.
Than we only need a Bonecrusher and we’re done Edit: looking at the photos the tires of Jazz seems to have a strange colour....
Well, he's officially about 6 inches, but I don't know how reliable that information is. That puts him at a couple of centimeters shorter than MPM Bee. There's also Blackout (and Scorponok) as well. I know we have a pretty decent stand in with WJ OS SS Blackout, but I still want one that's Masterpiece level. Anyway, Jazz is going to be special for me because the second Transformer I owned in the collection that started it all was HA Jazz. He looks to be such a massive improvement over the HA. In fact, once him and Starscream come out, I will have replaced my 5 original Transformers with MPM's. I'm so excited!
You are right! Forgot about Blackout. Yes we need him also as an MPM. I have for example BMB LS-04 Starscream but the OS figures aren’t as smooth as the mpm figures to me. Not sure the OS black-out is kind of the same?
Same for Blackout. The improvements made on it were nice, but it does just look like an OS toy. I expect an MPM to look much nicer and I think it will. I went back and forth on getting that Starscream before finally coming to the conclusion that it doesn't match the MPM in terms of detail and quality. Plus, Starscream should be next if the rumors are true. I also considered the DF ROTF Megatron, but seeing this MPM Megatron really turned me off from that one. Every shot of MPM Megatron makes me like the design more. Plus the level of detail on it is appropriate for the size of the figure. I never thought I would like this design until the reveal of the MPM.
I know what you mean i have the same feeling... im also affraid the Bonecrusher by TFDF will be a bit like that or is he really at the MPM like looks and feeling?
Than i pass on him i’m only going for the MPM line. Or you mean it in a good way? I only had the real wauw with the mpms the other transformers are a bit to much toyish for me.
At some point, OS KOs can only get us so far. We definitely need MPMs of the entire 07 cast. Takara went in, now they should finish what they started. Might take time, but we are taking refuge among the boards. We are here. We are waiting.
My accessory wishlist for MPM Ratchet: Tyrrenium Buzzsaw Machine Blaster MPM Mikaela Banes (fully articulated to hold his small equipments) Wrist Missile Launcher Removable Shovel, Axe, and Chain Cutter on both sides of his Hummer Alt-mode Laser check equipment (what he used on BBBs neck) Control Pillar from DOTM Takara Tomy, if you're reading this (probably not); please make this happen. This'll greatly benefit/justify your price range and this is the last 2007 Autobot, make him your best one. From your friendly overseas buyer; Caminus Prime
That's honestly a really long list, and I doubt takara will get to most of it except Mikaela, the blaster, and his buzzsaw. Since we saw that Takara only includes accessories integral to a character's role in the movies, I doubt much else is gonna be included.
I\'m super hyped for Jazz he looks like they took elements from the ha and ss figures and stuck them together and megatron looks beautiful as well
