Just out on the SNS is our first full color look at the Transformers Leader Class Studio Series 86 Megatron figure.
UPDATE - PREORDERS AVAILABLE NOW!
Order while they last from Walmart for shipping on Monday, September 1, 2025 at a price of $54.97 USD.
The much talked about figure is revealed to be pretty much what was promised with a new mold that has a G1 robot mode, and not so G1 tank mode. What is most impressive is the robot is nearly kibble free, you can hardly see the tank folded up inside.
As we can see, there are some compromises made in the tank mode. Shown below are the 86 Megatron alone and compared with other new releases including 86 Optimus Prime, 86 Construticons, AOTP Megatronus, and more.
We also get a shot compared with Masterpiece MP-36 Megatron. It is not hard to see the similarities in the robot modes. The 86 is very close to the proportions of the 36.
This is figure will be officially revealed by Takara TOMY soon, is expected to be released in Japan before Hasbro brings it over to the USA. Read on to see the images thanks to @icon_of_iacon
He looks great! Nitpick: the lower legs are two-tone and should be one color. The pictures next to the seeker show that we need a studio series starscream ASAP. That mold was not that great when it came out and is not aging well, in my opinion.
