30th Anniversary MP-05G Megatron Gold version

[Trent]

EDIT: turns out its gold.

According to BBTS (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11976&mode=retail&utm_source=Marketing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Marketing&utm_content=), everyone's favourite masterpiece figure, MP-05 will be re-released in December for $199US. I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent flooding of eBay?

Anyway:


This exclusive MP-05 Megatron will feature:
1. Metallic Gold Chrome Finish
2. Limited edition
3. Destron Leader Redeco
4. Modified retail packaging (image of package is not final)

Please Note: The images used above were supplied in black & white, final product color will vary.

WARNING: The MP-05 Megatron is an adult collectible toy and should not be used by children. Caution should be exercised when using this toy, and Megatron should never be used in a situation where it could be confused for a real weapon. Do not remove the blaze orange safety plug affixed to Megatron's barrel.

Megatron will include his pistol, energy sabre, energy mace, and the Kremzeek mini figure!

Please read all the important information about Megatron listed below!

Please note this item may be “double-taped” by the Takara factory due to additional quality control inspections performed before shipping to BBTS. This item is considered sealed/new (MISB).

Due to United States Toy / Imitation Gun Laws, it is illegal for any business or individual to import the MP-05 Megatron because it does not have a blaze orange safety tip on the end of barrel. A copy of this law is listed at the end of this description. In order for BBTS to legally import this item, Megatron must be modified. A blaze orange safety tip will be added to the end of barrel. This orange tip will be a custom made plastic plug that is attached to the end of the barrel. The tip will add between 1/4 and 1/2 inch in length to the end of the barrel and will not hinder the transformation between gun and robot.

Without this orange tip modification, US Customs may seize any incoming shipments for this item that they discover because it does not comply with US Laws, so we are providing a legal and risk-free solution to that problem.

This modification requires that all boxes will be opened, and the contents removed for modification. The factory tape seal will be cut, and some internal plastic packaging may be modified or cut. Collector's Grade packaging will not be available due to these modifications, and the normal Standard Grade description will not apply because the tape seals have been broken. We realize these modifications will slightly change the appearance of the toy, but we also realize that giving you a legal way to own this toy is much better than not owning it at all, or running the risk of US Customs seizing the item.

This is an aftermarket modification that does not involve Takara whatsoever; we initiated this modification to bring you an importable collectible. We will work to provide the highest quality plug addition that we can, but because this is not part of the original manufacturing process, it will not be perfect. This modification is done at no expense to you, we are paying all costs associated with this and passing nothing on to you other than the ultimate legal Megatron collectible.

Now the fun stuff: Megatron should stand at around 12" tall - equal in size to his nemesis, Masterpiece Optimus Prime. In order to get such a hefty robot, this is going to be one huge gun! Megatron will be a Walther P-38, as he should be, and will be the defining action figure version of Megatron that we've always wanted.

Please Note: The Australian Government & Australian Customs may seize this item, please order with caution if you live in Australia.

Below is the actual law in regards to imitation toys, please remember that the BBTS solution to this problem is the only legal way in the USA for you to obtain this amazing item.

§ 1150.2 Prohibitions. No person shall manufacture, enter into commerce, ship, transport, or receive any toy, look-alike, or imitation firearm (‘‘device’’) covered by this part as set forth in § 1150.1 of this part unless such device contains, or has affixed to it, one of the markings set forth in § 1150.3 of this part.

§ 1150.3 Approved markings. The following markings are approved by the Secretary of Commerce: (a) A blaze orange (Federal Standard 595a, February, 1987, color number 12199, issued by the General Services Administration) or orange color brighter than that specified by the federal standard color number, solid plug permanently affixed to the muzzle end of the barrel as an integral part of the entire device and recessed no more than 6 millimeters from the muzzle end of the barrel.

(b) A blaze orange (Federal Standard 595a, February, 1987, color number 12199, issued by the General Services Administration) or orange color brighter than that specified by the Federal Standard color number, marking permanently affixed to the exterior surface of the barrel, covering the circumference of the barrel from the muzzle end for a depth of at least 6 millimeters.

What a shame

[CoRDS]

really wish they would either re-do him or just bring out MP galvatron.
to mp mp05 isnt worth the money, let alone the work involved in trying to get one.

[CoRDS]

i guess here is a good place to put http://www.megatron.net.au/Index.htm


if anyone wnats to know what hoops they need to jump through where available.

according to that site. i CANT have one no matter what :(

I haven't really noticed a huge influx of people selling MP-05, only one chinese seller.

Also on the topic of MP-05, back in 2009 I was coming back from a round the world trip and in Hong Kong I picked up an MP-05 at ToysRus but didn't open it til I got back home in Australia and found it was missing Kremzeek, all weapons besides the big scope and his feet.

ToysRus gave me a full refund and let me keep the incomplete MP-05 and I've been trying to hunt down feet especially ever since to no luck. Anybody know where I could pick up his weapons and feet on the cheap?

[Jinto]

Right, after the re-release of MP-01 right before MP-10, you'd have to be crazy to buy this piece of junk and not expect a better Masterpiece Megatron right around the corner.

The 3P groups have already made a bunch of superior versions. Surely someone at Hasbro has taken some inspiration and prepared an update.

Yeah - you beat me to it. I think it was labeled MP-01L - the last run ever of the mould. Then MP10 was announced. I'm hoping this re-run leads to a new Megatron or Galvatron mould.

[drifand]

Most of you can't own one anyway so there is nothing you really need to see unfortunately till federal and state laws change.
The piece can be very well be $50 and you still can't buy it.

Who else out of the 3p groups have made a g1 megatron? If im not mistaken, I can only think of one... hegemon is good but not mp scaled let's hope for a oversized version with shiny non swirly plastic from takara.

The guy who runs that site is a member here. He has helped many a member with owning MP-05 :)

That's what I mean. The guy might work in the factory or have a friend that does and they lifted a heap to sell on eBay.

Hegemon is the only 3rd Party release and it belongs in a Classics collection, not MP. I personally don't even think Hegemon is that good.

[drifand]

If someone wants to dip you, you possibly could still get in trouble for it.
I could have brought in 5 pieces into WA a while back but I thought about it and decided it wasn't worth the trouble even though it is legal in WA.

There were a few more announced around the time of Hegemon's release -Bold Toys, iGear Toys Mini MP05 & another i can't think of right now. I'd have to double check how many of them went past the prototype stage. But, yes, as Trent said, they're not Masterpiece scale toys.

[Trent]

It's not about the orange tip. MP Megs in Australia is classed as a replica firearm and in states like NSW, you actually need a permit to own it.

All except Hegemon crashed and burned. And it's something that 3rd Party companies are reluctant to tackle because of both the difficulty and the belief that Takara will announce a V2 at any time.

[Sky Shadow]

I'm still pissed off that customs destroyed one of my e-Hobby Megaplexes. :(

[VGMStudios]

I bought this when we was first released and he really is great. Transformation is a bit tough but the end result is a really good looking figure and gun.

Sucks for you guys..there is no way around it huh. Even if he was shipped in robot mode?

You can smuggle it in, like anything is your own risk and answer if you get caught.

I transformed mine and transport it with Optimus mp1 to avoid suspicions, I thought it was illegal in wa

[Barrel05]

I transformed mine for first time last week and he broke!

[z3r03d]

so is there no way to order this toy into WA because it "Looks" like a firearm?

Is legal here but it may be stopped at customs in vic or nsw and you might need to explain.

"Please feel free to contact your local firearms registry, police ministry or member of the legislative assembly using the letters and information provided on the NSW page to try and change this."
As Trent said, the person who created and maintains that page is a member here. He contacted the NSW police ministry and worked hard to obtain a legal avenue for ownership here. If other people want to do it for their respective states/territories, then you're welcome to follow his example and do likewise.

Sucks for you guys..there is no way around it huh. Even if he was shipped in robot mode?
Australian Customs has learnt how to detect Megatrons in robot mode since 2007. Before then I used to have them shipped in robot mode. Since then, I've acquired a permit. :)

so is there no way to order this toy into WA because it "Looks" like a firearm?
It's easy for you because Gunformers are perfectly legal without restriction in WA. But as Customs is a Federal and not State body, they may still confiscate the toy and issue you with a notice. If that happens, you simply need to contact Customs and inform them that you live in a state where the toy is not illegal or prohibited, then organise a time to collect it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that these toys are legal in Victoria, however they're prohibited like in NSW, meaning that you'll need to conform to safe storage requirements and acquire a permit as we do here.

[yoshi594]

metallic chrome finish? that's like his whole body...hate chrome soo much. Already own this guy and he doesn't suit the new mps.

I'll only get if he goes out at a bargain price.

Ha ha ha! Well he IS the leader of the Evil Decepticons, one would think that customs doesn't let in any old riff-raff!

[drifand]

I very much doubt all of them know, for example if magatron was packed with my Optimus along with couple of binaltech cars in a gundam pg box, they wouldn't have a clue through the x-Ray.

I wouldn't attach his scope with him to make it obvious.

[nexusnixx]

I wonder what they mean when one of the selling point is "limited edition"

my MP5 is stuck overseas and i dont think Im able to bring it over...

is it possible for someone who is approved to bring it in for me without going through the hoops of getting registered/approved etc?

[koolkollectibleskhai]

What the hell!?!?! So it looks like the new Masterpiece Megatron re-issue is actually some gold repaint version as MP-5G?!? LOL!!!

Here's the link for more pics and order details!

I really hope this is a sign that Takara are ready to announce the new Megatron in scale with MP-10!!

[1AZRAEL1]

I kinda want it. Hope they do a new MP10 scaled version soon.

[Sinnertwin]

i don't remember there being a Last Shot for MP02 Ultra Magnus & MP03 Starscream before their updated versions were announced.

Wished this was year of the horse and they place the horse on the handle. I would so buy it.

[griffin]

It should be noted that since this is a Hasbro HK release, if you want one that doesn't have an orange plug glued to the front, look for Asian sources instead of BBTS... and make sure you have a permit to own or import it in your state. (Customs are likely to seize it, and require you to prove that you are allowed to own one if you are in a legalised state)

[drifand]

I thought the plug could be removed anyway?

[Sinnertwin]

I thought the plug could be removed anyway?

it depends. Ive seen one that has been glued in and another that was just an orange plug that pops straight out

[millhouse]

Much as my MP collection needs a Megatron, this isn't going to be it.

I've sold off my Takara MP-4, and my Hasbro 20th Anniversary (MP-1 mould) Optimus will be displayed with Citizen Stack for the time being (although I need to either remove the rest of the white paint from Stack's waist, or repaint it). DAI Stack (w/head upgrade) will end up with my MP collection unless a MP Diaclone/early animation Magnus comes out.

It's a shame, but that MP-5/MP-5G just doesn't appeal to me, much as I want it to - I'll continue to make do with Hegemons (or is that Hegemen?).

[Megatran]

The 'gold' looks as if the chrome has oxidised and discoloured somewhat. If you're gonna make it gold then do it like a Lucky Draw item.

Going by that gif they should also do the coneheads in gold as well :p

[Bidoofdude]

The gold is pretty meh for me. MP-05 is pretty old. I'm surprised he's getting a letter added to his number.

I also noticed they put him with MP-10 (well, a bit of him) in one of the pictures on the back. Interesting, for two figures with a large size difference, unless they scaled him down.

[Sinnertwin]

i think that may be the only new image on the new Megatron box? At first glance they seem photoshopped. I'll have to double check when i get home, but i doubt that they would've scaled it down to MP 10 Convoy size,

[Deonasis]

It moreso reminds me of the Decepticon statues in Starscream's coronation scene.

I think it looks pretty interesting as a display gun and would look nice beside Sleep Convoy in bot mode. Hmm..

[griffin]

The new image of the toy itself has me liking i (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/mp-05-masterpiece-megatron-30th-anniversary-exclusive-in-hand-image-181398/)t. The face looks weird, but the colouring is a nice type of Gold that isn't reflectively shiny like Lucky Draw toys, so you still get all the detail/sculpting showing through.
If it shows up on the usual HK dealer sites, I'll be getting one.

[VERT]

Don't think it is chrome at all. Just good gold paint

Normally that would go in the Unauthorised section, but it looks to be making a comparative point, not promoting it.

Still, just be careful with looking for opportunities to post up 3rd party items in the Transformers section, in case someone new thinks Hasbro or TakaraTomy are the ones about to release the item.

As with other HK releases of JP Masterpiece toys, this one has a freebie and it has just been revealed - a non-transforming die-cast camera (Reflector) (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/masterpiece-megatron-gold-version-bonus-reflector-accessory-181449/).

I can't tell how big it is, so not sure if it is tiny to be held by Megatron, or a larger scale to display on a shelf.
It's not in cartoon colours though, so not as exciting as if we were finally getting a cartoon accurate Reflector toy.
Pretty neat though.

Die cast is pretty cool for an accessory. Kind of useless for Megatron though. If it can be held my MP-11 (it's probably too big) then it's worth considering.

Some may not like the odd colouring, but there is something that I find very appealing with that type of gold colouring.

[drifand]

I reported yahobby are selling them loose at $124.00 US

[griffin]

Loose ones aren't through official sources (they are usually from factory workers, who seem to be allowed to take home the excess or damaged stock), so can't be used as a guide for their official release date.

I just got a shipping notice from the person I pre-ordered it from on ebay (who is in HK)... so maybe it was released by Hasbro HK this week.
