Something about him is freaking me out a bit lol. I think it's the fact that's how I remember the old toy from when I played with him as a kid in my head, but when I look at pictures of it it doesn't look nearly as good as the MP.

Articulation aside it looks pretty much exactly like the old toy. They really nailed that look the first time.

Doesn't seem to be announced yet but if those are leaking now I'd expect more info soon. Seems to be official Takara.

And I'm saying at least $300.

holy gently caress official?

I have only bought 4 official masterpiece transformers: G1 Megatron(the good one), Bumblebee, Shockwave, and Beast Wars Megatron, which I wound up having to sell.

but Transmetal 1 Megatron is the literal #1 most-wanted masterpiece transformer I have wanted, and that's definitely going to be one I buy at any price

That TM Megs is a 3rd party release from Transart - they've already made a handful of Transmetal figures in the MP scale. It's up now at ShowZStore (which I discovered thanks to this thread) for a surprisingly reasonable $130.

And yes, I need it.

Ordered. I've bought from ShowZ before, they're legit.

Speaking of 3rd party, I ordered the Jazz "Jive" from FansToys a while back, has anyone heard when this is going to come out? It has passed its intial release window I believe.

I got that KO Devastator from Aliexpress and it came loose in a (crushed) box with all the bots and parts just bouncing around, and the arm on not-Mixmaster was sheared off and can't be fixed. Needless to say I'm not thrilled.

The more I look at this KO Devastator the less satisfied I am with it, the pictures were in no way representative of the actual robot. It doesn�t help that I had a poo poo day but I�m feeling some hefty buyer�s remorse here.

As a big JP toy nerd, that�s amazing.

Also Aliexpress got back to me on my damaged Devastator: $10 partial refund (on a $50 total order). I can accept it or I can push back I guess. Thoughts?

I�m an ideal world I�d want a replacement for the damaged bot (or hell, even just the damaged arm, it�s a friction peg, I can pop it in myself) but I don�t know if that�s possible.

ive never not gotten a full refund from ali with even the slightest pushback on my part, definitely worth pursuing.

got jhiaxus yesterday!! i have next to no familiarity with the character but its an incredibly imposing & expressive figure, capable of a lot of subtle emotion through articulation. also probably the least gappy transformer i own. good toy

While undoubtedly an improvement over the G1 (no trigger crotch, yay) and still probably the best pistol Megs to that point, the v1.0 still had some janky poo poo going on, particularly below the waist. When you compare the legs on it to the 2.0 of a few years back, it's night and day. Plus the feet were super prone to rust I think?

MFT's Flame Commander is back up at ShowZ: https://showzstore.com/pre-order-mechfanstoys-ms-19-flame-commander-rodimus-prime_p1260.html

I can't remember if I've gone on about this toy in this'ere thread before, but it is brilliant. It can transform into either Hot Rod or Rodimus' vehicle modes, the trailer has the battle platform, there's the saw accessory, a matrix, Firebolt, and leg covers so you can either have the black lower legs of the animation model or the red chevrons of the original G1 toy. The transformation's just complex enough without being too much so, and at the standard oversized-legends scale it's not too big at all.

I know Commander Rodimus was a fairly recent release, as was SS Hot Rod, but I still love this wee fella.
