Hasbro is Gonna Make you Buy Another Siege Megatron with this New Shattered Glass Reveal

So, SG Megs link brings up a 404 page.
Tried ordering twice and was extracted from cart. either they sold out That fast or the page wasn't ready for the influx of traffic.
Either way, i am SOL until it comes back up.


EDIT: Link went live again and i got my order in.

What's better, this alt mode or braodside's jet mode?

william-james88 wrote:Good old Siege Megatron. Many are tired of the mold but Hasbro is banking on you letting this new release slide since the newly revealed Transformers Shattered Glass Megatron has new parts to give the old mold a new alt mode. And he costs the same as a regular voyager, which is a pretty sweet deal. Plus with this redeco, you get the nice presentation for MOSC collectors and a special comic. All for $29.99. He is coming out October first of this year.

He can be ordered here: https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... iant-cover

MANY fans have reached out to us about this, we thank you all.

Includes: Megatron figure, Fusion Cannon, sword and shield accessories, and instructions.

Part of the Shattered Glass Collection
Voyager Class figure
Figure depicts the righteous Decepticon commander, Megatron, with deco and details inspired by the Shattered Glass universe
Converts from robot to Cybertronian spaceship mode in 18 steps
Features red Decepticon logo and detachable Energon wings in robot mode
Comes with the second of a 5-issue IDW Shattered Glass miniseries with a Hasbro Pulse exclusive variant cover you can only get with figure, featuring spot UV
Figure scale: 7 inches

Looks like they bumped the price to $37, might want to change the article

I have to say, I'm impressed. They really went the extra mile with this one.

Lolol definitely this one because they just shoehorned it in and Broadside's jet was part of the actual design

I love my Broadside but I never use his jet mode, and I mainly got him because I couldn't afford a fansproject assaulter at the time

I'll give them props for trying to make a jet mode Not quite sold on it but I'll keep an open mind, now let's see SG Jetfire

...I can't believe they actually went the extra mile and made him a triple-changer for no reason other than some semblance of accuracy to the original, those absolute mad lads. I've already preordered this, and it looks like I did it just in time as the price has increased now, and after the similar situation with the ER Centurion Drone I feel like those who got orders in with the lower price will in fact only have to pay the lower price, so that's awesome. VERY curious to see how Starscream and Goldbug turn out now, hopefully the fact that they seem to be referencing the original molds more means that Starscream will 100% be a Tetrajet.

Also joke's on you, News Team, I've never bought this mold before!

I've said this on twitter, but his alternate mode is VERY similar to TF:P Megatrons' alt mode.

The figure looks nice, I like the paint job. There's at least more work gone into this than Blurr who only has a headswap with his repaint. It's clear that this is inspired by Energon Megatron.

But my god, the asking price from Hasbro in the UK? £34.99 is a bit much. To put it in perspective for the American buyers, that's the equivalent of $48. I was kinda happy to see that Pulse was being spread to other countries but the fact that Hasbro are charging UK fans a premium beyond the added price this already has, just doesn't sit well with me.

If they'd added about £4 to the original £23.99 of the Voyager price, roughly equivalent to what they added to the price for Americans, it'd be more acceptable (that's despite the fact that £23.99 is already higher than the American retail cost). It's a shame because I do kinda like the look of the figure but I cannot justify the price hike for a Voyager quality figure.

If it were like SS86 Hot Rod, who is smaller but has a much higher quality than pretty much any other Voyager we've had in a long time, then maybe it'd be okay. But with this Megatron that looks good but as a figure is largely just acceptable with a lot of hollow cavities? Nah.

Also, I updated the article on the front page with the new price.

And that's why the alt mode was bugging me in the back of my head...

Managed to get mine in for $30. Definitely digging this fellas and glad there was some effort put into making him close to the original version., though I’m hoping the wings don’t require partsforming.

looks like they will. There's a 5mm peg on both the sides and the tops of the wings, the side ones are for the spaceship configuration and the tops for the way they're oriented in robot mode.

Good attempt. Instead of a Tank accessory, he turns into an actual tank, but I don't see a sword. His Turret gun piece which doubled as a sword does not seem to be shown here even though it is stated to be there in the description.

Americas price has gone up, hasbro makes sure fans in every country gets screwed these days XD


On a side note I didnt realise it's the Siege mold so I'm out on this one unless Hasbro some how throws a free figure in with him (it's not that far off what SG Prime and Ratchet cost me). Kapows saying prices off hasbro figures to receive price hikes (which for most cases they already have -especially charging the next size class up prices for the size below it for some)

Another Siege Megatron? NOOOOOOOOOOO! How many of these figures must remain unsold before Hasbro gets the message that we want something better?

Anyhoo, thoughts: The colors look OK, and the new wings/canopy look clever in helping to conceal the old H-treads. But - they're STILL there. It doesn't help that the robot thighs are completely exposed. This makes me think that the entire front section of the alt mode is going to flop around a lot, unless they engineered some way to keep the robot hip joints from moving. Otherwise - that cockpit will suffer from severe drooping (don't snicker, Crow).

The robot mode looks a little encumbered by all the extra accessories, but otherwise, Siege Megatron was always OK in robot mode. The lack of feet that tilt forward on WFC figures always bugged me though, especially with this mold. Ditto for the hands which just won't fold out all the way.

Passing on this one - unless it winds up on discount.

Yeah, it wasn’t until a little while after I posted that I saw the wings require partsforming. Oh well, still going to keep my preorder. Also worth noting is they did seem to include the original sword, meaning that there is the option to retain the mold’s tank mode so that’s nice, unless there’s more extensive retooling that isn’t seen. Either way, I’ll be displaying him in robot mode like everything else I own. I hope they do some similar “close enough” efforts for the remainder of this subline, even if they don’t require it that badly (who’s left that was rumored; Goldbug, Starscream and Jetfire right?)

Literally siege megs with add ons. Looks good. You can tell the cockpit is parts forming and is probably a shield in bot mode. Just wish they did something to hide the thighs even if it was a parts forming piece

got this from Botcon's Facebook post. looks like he comes with all of Siege Megatron's accessories

....very tempting.

Yup.

Seibertron.com is getting pretty bias and snippy with their article titles. Giving tformers a run for their money cause he used to throw their opinions in theirs

Nice try on the alt. mode. Doesn't do a thing for me.

Hi Mega McDuckFace! That shield/cockpit addon just gives me that vibe!

Not getting it, especially with its shipping cost to Canada and higher price. I've got my junked TF:P Arachnid to repurpose for the wings and use the original Siege's Meg sword to convert into the cockpit (by adding a few pieces of Lego) to make my own SG Meg whenever I feel like repainting my Siege Meg. That'll also give me reason to get the more G1-looking Earthrise Meg.

And this is more of a TF:P Megatron alt-mode wannabe than an re-imagined original figure, albeit a good looking one.

So it looks like that cockpit piece that forms a shield is what will be holding the legs together. Lose the piece and the legs will just flap in the breeze. I still ordered it.

I think this Megatron is ok. It's different enough.

Pfft...who needs the new parts?

A lazy repaint with a few extra accessories to fan-mode Siege Megatron in SG Megatron? Pre-ordered!

Keep in mind in regards to pricing that there is a pack in comic driving the price up. The markup on megs is also less than the one on blurr, at least in america. +$7 instead of +$10.

In regards to the altmode, I'm disappointed by the visible leg syndrome, but not enough to cancel out the hype. Probably going to try and fanmode it into a G1-ification of the rotf tankjet, depending on alternate attachment points for the canopy.

Thanks for the pic. Sad the sword is not translucent. It would gave looked cool with translucent blue blades like the wings.

This is like the wish.com version of Shattered Glass Megatron. Would have gladly paid double and had them use the Super Megatron tooling with a new head and maybe the new wing pieces. I get what they did and some parts of this are really clever, but it screams "keep the cost down" very loudly.

Full disclosure, I preordered one, which is my reminder to take my negative opinions with grains of salt.

Say, any chance someone who has this mold already could post what it looks like if you peg the fusion cannon and tank turret into those ports on the top of his back kibble, since those weapons are painted on this release to match the original SG Megatron's shoulder cannons?

I think it's technically the same markup, since Hasbro seems to be trying a second time to push Deluxes up to being $23 between their Pulse listings for Kingdom Wave 3 and Netflix Wave 3. People are just choosing to ignore it and purchase/pre-order their Deluxes from Amazon and other retailers that are also ignoring/resisting that change.

here you go

Sabrblade wrote:Aha, so the Energon Megatron parts exist after all! Either the leakers got the base figure wrong, or these were switched out from the Kingdom Galvatron mold. I wonder if there's any leftover compatibility.

I sure hope so, I really want to believe that "Galvatron Unicron" from the Amazon AU listing is Energon (Unicron Trilogy) Galvatron since it's sold at a higher price than other Leaders on there. Can't really see how it would work since he hides a lot of his peg holes between modes.

I've bought every use of the mold and I don't even like it, I'm just a glutton for punishment.

DeathReviews wrote:Another Siege Megatron? NOOOOOOOOOOO! How many of these figures must remain unsold before Hasbro gets the message that we want something better?

I've honestly never seen this mold shelf warm, but he's never been well stocked in my area. The 35th version and ER version weren't sold in my area, had to get those online. The Siege and Netflix versions always sold well. I honestly can't say I've seen any Transformer from any brand shelf warm since the first two Deluxe waves of Titans Return.

Back to the figure, I really wish they had used the alternate miner head, would have been more accurate and a little less evil looking.




At least with this figure I have a reason to stick the sword in the canon.

I preordered mine before I even posted about it, so I'm getting it for 30 bucks.

Yep, they got me to buy that. You onow whats worse though? I would totally buy this AGAIN as Prime Megatron.

This Megatron is completely STUPID and completely GENIUS at the same time.

Fan0transform the thing. Add/replace some accessories. BOOM! New altmode!
I did it many time with my customs. I didn't knew Hasbro would do the same. This give me some ideas. If I find a Siege Megatron for cheap, I'll customise it into his IDW driller form.

I think it's really weird that I can actually order this. With Pulse, I'm used to it being sold out within minutes. I'm rarely ever able to get a pre-order in. I hope Starscream & Jetfire are as easy.

Are they revealing these every Tuesday? I forgot when they revealed Blurr. Was it last Tuesday? Are they following a schedule? I can't wait to see Jetfire.

Hey! Look at ME! I can be "Shattered Glass" Megatron too! Huh? HUH????

That's not bad actually. I've been looking to use Shockwave's useless extra parts somehow.

Easy peazy.

Now do the bot mode!

They go great on the Titans Return Alpha Trion/Lio Convoy space ship.

I don't have those. I've been trying to attach them to CW Cyclonus since the purples almost match.

I saw this when it was $30 and forgot to checkout until just now. (Didn’t have my credit card on me).

But totally bought! I’m just going to take my megatron shelf and make a new shelf using just variations of this mold!

I like it but not for the homage to the original shattered glass megs. The reconfigured transformation reminds me of the end of the American/Japanese run of g1 where pretty much all the toys where just a sci-if bricks with very little articulation. Hits an odd nostalgia note from when I was a kid checking out the bootlegs of those toys at the Chinese importers stand at the farmers market. Feels custom tailored to me really.

This looks great but I can't help but feel like the selects combat hero megs headsculpt should have been used instead of the standard one. It more closely resembles the original botcon headsculpt imo.

I mean the community was able to bully Hasbro into changing the colors of Gigawatt’s alt mode windshield, maybe we can do it again by petitioning to use CH Megatron’s head sculpt?

Was able to order him after waiting an hour so the pulse premium members got theirs'. Glad I got him before a few of you did, when he was still $29.99, but after $7 for shipping and $2 for state taxes, he's $39. But had to have him. Not buying the Spoiler pack of him though, already have original siege mold and the Walmart exclusive repaint of siege.

This color scheme looks so good,that makes me want to see regular continuity Megatron use it.
I like how alternate mode calls back to his Energon/Movie/Prime versions.

Day 484 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Are these being revealed on a schedule? I missed this one at $30 because I have no clue when they will be revealed.
