Toysrus Canada will be getting Movie Masterpiece MPM-08 Megatron but for a high price. That preorder price is $229.99 CAD, which is over $175 USD. It is limited to three per person and is said to be released august first, 2019. Below is the full product description, and there are a few noteworthy aspects:

- There is no mention of exclusivity, which means that this could also be available on Amazon or any other retailer willing to carry this.
- The toy is said to be bilingual so Quebec fans will be able to get it more easily than the other MPMs since Barricade.
- There is an interesting mention in the description clarifying that this is not a 3rd party product. It is the first time I have ever seen such product acknowledged in an official listing.

No matter what one buy, it always depend on one's interest.
Beside, it's a pretty lazy argument to dismiss something we don't like when we run down the thing to it's base elements:
--Why buy a toy? It's just plastics.
--Why buy fancy clothes? It's just fabrics.
--Why buy good tasting food? It's just sugar, vitamins, minerals, and glucids.
--Why getting exited on sexy girls? It's just flesh.
--Why live at all? We are just ephemerial cosmic dust.

I really hate it when people do that.

The price is ouch and fairly solidly puts Megs into the "Only if I win the lottery or have another such windfall" category for me, but on the other hand Megatron was quite possibly the absolute most complex design in the movie (someone in the animation department called him a "walking chandelier"), thus necessitating (And I mean actually necessitating, as opposed to MP-44 and its reinventing the wheel to obsessively duplicate the cartoon's artistic license and inking limits to an obscene level) a lot of complex engineering to produce a Masterpiece toy of him, so...

It's good to see movieverse Megatron's original body getting a toy that's not hampered by clumsy gimmicking and the designers having to learn the aesthetic's ropes, and a Masterpiece at that. It's a pity he doesn't include the spear from the flashback sequence, particularly at that price. Who knows, maybe that'll end up being his Retailer Exclusive Accessory.

See, I find it funny that people are saying "ouch" over either Jazz or Meg's prices. Jazz is the same as both Bumblebees and Barricade, and those guys are fairly complex compared to G1 MPs around that price or who were released around that price. Prime and Ironhide were $100 and they both had far more engineering put into them (levels of success not withstanding) than MPs around that price.

Megs is really complex and really big. And that $160 is a lot less ouch when one considers the Inferno mold went for $140 and also where the new MPs his size are standing price wise

Also consider that so far we have found all of the MPM figures on massive discounts on Amazon.

The gallery goes into great detail regarding the figures, as well as images of the fronts and backs of each Masterpiece’s packaging. The gallery can be found here, so be sure to take a peek if you’re so inclined.

In addition, we have a complimentary video straight from the official Seibertron YouTube channel showing off the aforementioned figures. Be sure to take a watch and let us know what you think in the forums below!

They've mistransformed Jazz especially his backpack. :HEADHURTS:

Love the pic of him standing on one hand on the box. I know it says requires additional support but maybe that's just there to cover their based and maybe he can actually balance like that (just not worth keeping him that way in case he does fall over at some point).

My Studio Jazz balances really well on one foot even without using those black support bits on the back of his feet (I never use those).

He's 2 inches tall. You'll never see those details in real life with the naked eye. This is just the camera's Macro lense doing its thing.

At most you would have gotten two shapeless blobs of black paint for eyes. There's no point to that.

Seems like it's a common thing for Spike/Sam in the Masterpiece line. It's those Witwicky genes.

Well, if the MPM line holds to form so far, Jazz will be an amazing figure, and Megatron will be riddled with QC issues.

They both look great though. I won't even consider picking up Megatron until he gets the significant price drop all large MPM's have gotten so far. Even though Jazz will most likely drop in price as well, I'll probably pre-order him first chance.

For what it's worth... some of the Amazon.co.jp pre-orders or other Japanese e-tailers going for 30% off.... might be some of the best ways to pick up these MPs.

Transformers Movie Masterpiece Megatron is the most expensive MPM release so far and it seems we now know why. This bad boy is massive. Several Seibertronians sent us word of a picture surfacing on Instagram, coming from phamduc, showing his size comparison to other recent Megatron toys. He turns out to be more than a head taller than Takara's MP 36 Megatron, who himself was a leader class toy. And he isn't only taller, he is beefier too, just a much bigger toy overall, with the Siege voyager not even reaching his crotch.

This also gives us a good look at his finalized deco, which is covered in silver paint, or so it seems. Let us know what you think of this toy and if this picture has changed your mind in getting him.

Alas, no change in my opinion. What an eyesore - still looks like a pile of used Brillo and making it bigger doesn't help any. But don't let that stop anyone else. If you like the look, go for it. Me passing this one by only means more for the rest of you!

The reaction to the previous image posted regarding MPM Megatron got mixed results. Some thought it was the perfect example to all that was wrong with the Bay aesthetic, and inserting Jurassic Park gifs of Dr Malcolm looking at a big pile, while others had the following response:

Well, Kanrabat, the gods heard your prayers and delivered. A few users sent these images in and since the source would rather remain anonymous we will simply post the images below. They include images of the robot mode compared to the CG model, shots of the accessories being wielded, and images of the space jet mode. The person who received the toy said that it was very well articulated and felt very hefty. There is indeed die cast in select areas, such as the feet. As always, feel free to let us know what you think!

Man oh man is Movie Masterpiece Megatron getting some love tonight!

After getting several rounds of in hand images and size comparison, we have a new advertisement for the figure licensed by Hasbro. This advertisement is a stop motion video, and over the course of this short video, we get some awesome stop motion shots of Megatron breaking free from the cryogenic ice and transforming to escape the Hoover Dam, as seen in the original Transformers 2007 Live Action Movie.

This video came to us from the 變形金剛同樂會 Facebook page, and you can view the video in all its glory below! Let us know what you think of the next Movie Masterpiece figure, which will be due out in August of this year, below!

I probably said this before,but this Masterpiece reaffirms what I tought for a long time.
Movie Megatron design is one of most imposing out there.When its said he controls the Decepticon faction through tyranny,you can feel it.

The eyes of the toy look better in thee pics than the the stock photos.

An excellent by HasTak! :APPLAUSE:

The Transformers game intro shows thiis design in a brief,but in a menacing way.

I'm hoping the eventual Studio Series version of this Megatron will be a sufficently acceptable scaled down copy as much possible.

And I love Jazz more everytime I see him (transformed correctly).

Man, the size to price ratio on Megatron is pretty outstanding. To see them say how tall he is is one thing, but seeing how tall and bulky he is compared to other MPs really is impressive. For $160 I feel like we're getting our money's worth. What I really want to see is him next to Beast Megatron because I think they're probably very close in size. Who'd have thought we'd get a group of MP Megatrons and MP-36 is the little one?

Okay, now I think I'm sold. Not only this Megs is ridiculously detailed and painted, the backpack is amazingly compact for what it will become in spaceship mode.

And for once, the 2007 Megs is getting love, not the redundant ROTF one.

Good grief, he's HUGE!

He looks awesome- the robot mode is more or less spot on and the vehicle mode is as good as a physical transforming Knifejet is ever going to look. I wish he had a nice "grimy steel" paintjob like his movie model but at the same time it would probably scratch to hell and back if they did that. He looks a phenomenal toy at any rate.

One thing that would have been nice is some clip-on ice pieces so you could display him in "stasis".

I'm pretty sure some 3P guy is already on it.

Is he shorter than the first G1 Masterpiece Megatron though? The tall skinny one before they revised the MP scale to a more consistent size?

Damn I love this one. The figure looks better than the old promo pic it's recreating the pose of.

I have both MP Megs on display together and based on the picture posted previously, I guess this MPM '07 Megatron is a smidge taller than the top of the gun barrel on the bot mode's back of the original MP Megs. Plus he's way more massive.

That is a hell of a backpack though.....

Also, the pricing on this guy really calls out the complete bullshit on mainline MP pricing.

Other than that, yeah, he looks good for those who like this design. Hopefully he doesn't follow in the footsteps of the other two large MPM figures and be a qc nightmare.
