    Default JP LG-13 Legends Megatron

    The next known figure in the Japanese Legends line (after Windblade in February) is Leader class G1 Megatron from Generations... in May.
    Just a place-holder image floating around for now, but it is likely that the Japanese version should be more "Gen1 coloured".
    And it is being promoted in the preliminary product image as a pairing to the MP-10 Optimus toy, which is more evidence that TakaraTomy is not likely to have a new MP Megatron toy on the horizon.

    The pairing of the Megatron with the MP-10 Optimus toy, I believe is there for scale purposes. What is it also telling us, that a future masterpiece megatron is still way off. In the meantime please buy this toy
    Its also a test for fans reactions, and maximizing potential sales for the leader mold.
    With the MP line having a G2 sub-theme, with already g2 sideswipe released and now bumblebee has been announced, I say we will still see a new MP Megatron.

    It's not that different to the Hasbro. I'd say the Hasbro version has a better metallic silver. If the legs were black, I'd have switched to Takara.

    I think MP-10 is on there as a cross sell for it's upcoming Takara re-release.

    (And I'll keep believing a new Takara MP-Gun will be made ..someday)

    Note that the direction of the fusion cannon is swapped between the Hasbro photography and the Takara photography. One way appears to provide a (red) projectile, while the other end appears to be a more G1 accurate styled cannon.
