    I already have a masterpiece Jazz. It is called Human Alliance Jazz. One of the best transformers ever made IMO.

    Honestly, though mpm jazz looks amazing, and I'm happy for all those who got what they wanted.

    Mpm Megatron on the other hand.... Well let's just say there's something wrong, but I can't pinpoint what. I don't mind the backpack, but the angles and sharp bits on the figure aren't as sharp as I would like. That's not the only problem, just the only one I can pinpoint

    Not a fan of movie one megs design, but a new jazz is welcome in my collection.

    That said, I ain’t touching any of these until reviews are out and things about the final products can be confirmed.
    This line is a mess

    Megatron looks to be about twice Nazi's height, accounting for his shorter platform. If he is about 30 cm, Jazz will be about 15, which is smaller than BB. I think that's a good size.

    which is historically accurate, since the nazis were notoriously around 15 feet tall.

    So are people upset about Jazz's splitter (bumper piece below the grill) sticking out and not tucking in more in bot mode?

    I wish they had made Megs face silver instead of gold but he still looks cool, that gold face is going to take some getting used to though... The red on the chest kinda reminds me of his appearance in the IDW comics, Don Figueroa has always made Transformers look so badass. I adore that man's art style.

    He was basically saying "what you said is wrong and you must be being sarcastic". Personally i agree with you, these are definitely NOT junk figures. But i like MPM-4 so the mainstay will tell you thats crazy talk (since there is a small gap on most/all Primes truck hoods in alt mode)

    Although this is probably obvious to you, she(?) @SunSwipe5 is probably worried the figure is gonna be like they have been making figures in the last few years, kinda weak sauce where it would completely effect the figure. And in some ways i can understand. For instance, im not a 'huge' fan of replaceable/extra faces, i was SUPER glad TE-01 OptimusvPrime came with no removable face parts (other then a flap that opens to fit his mug in truck mode). But Its just a solid toy with INCREDIBLY STRONG JOINTS and strong charisma too! ;)  Still this does not mean I don't like them, i do in many cases like MP36 its great and i like ALL toys i just think my toughest favorite bot i wouldnt want it. I guess.

    To be clear i was pretty sure you were aware of her point Im not trying to school/teach you i just wanted to join in with my thoughts. :D  Also my thoughts are this "gimmick" is bad ass and strategic for TakaraTomyHasbro as it helps sell the pair!

    Ehh, I don't mind it, even the shoulders.

    I for one in waiting for a picture of him standing straight, because the post that they have him in aren't really great in my opinion

    I'm usually the type who waits for KO's of MP's in case there's any improvements that could be made but I'm so impatient and have been waiting for a good movie 1 Megatron figure for so long that I'm just going to bite the bullet and get him. I haven't gotten an official MP since MP Soundwave but it looks like Megatron's going to break that streak.

    I understand that some gimmicks can compromise some figures. Like for example, MPM Ironhide's mouth opening gimmick causes his jaw to be larger than it should be. With Jazz on the other hand, his gimmick seems to have no effect on the figure. The waist looks perfectly fine and the video posted earlier shows it's quite secure. At the end of the day, you will still get the figure you ask for. It transforms and manages to look great in both bot and alt mode. If you don't want to recreate the death scene, you don't have to. Just to clarify, when I say "you", I just mean the people who are doubting this gimmick.

    Hmm maybe just a tiny bit bigger, so far though I'm not disappointed with the scale. Megatron still dwarfs Jazz as he should.

    Something something I W A N T T W O you get the idea.

    Jokes aside these look amazing. If Megatron weren't so far out of my usual budget I'd be completely sold on this.
