Transformers 2k7: Guess who got this Masterpiece Megatron in the mail today? - Page 4

Bumped because he told me to.

Also so I can link to the totally awesome image I made a few days ago:

Well, it was because I was sick & done w/ all the ninja edits that nobody was noticing.

Like these two movies that are part of this thing.

There was also a 3rd TV spot that was leaked, but both links are off the net now, so I can't tell you where to find it.

I'll make up for that, by linking this totally awesome footage that somebody nabbed from the actual filming. It is a spoiler, but a totally awesome one. It involves a truck for a toy that once was all the rage.

New Password for Sector 7:
BYEBYEPOWERS

And there's footage up there of Grimlock, Kickback & Reflector. Not sure if its fan produced, or anything. But its certainly not in the movie style, and its all G1.

And because I'm lazy, I'll just quote the last bit of news concerning the possilbe leak of Starscream's voice...

Quote:

Another ninja edit, not sure but this *MIGHT* be movie Starscream's voice. Can't say for certain, as in the Sector 7 Informants section, which I *THOUGHT* was only for ppl joining the ranks of S7. (Oh, & my e-mail is in there. Look for the message from Kevin April 9th.)

If you want to see the original message, look for the e-mail from COD3X, April 12th.

So fair warning to the rest of you ppl, in the future if I'm the last person in a thread, do NOT assume I'm done updating. That is a dire mistake to make. I don't like to bump, and so the ninja edits will continue...

Oh, and MM is in stock at Digital Toys, and so I should get him by next week. One problem, my own digital camera is on loan, and I'm not entirely sure where the family one is. But I think I should be able to find it.

Ninja Edit:
Almost forgot about this rumor, but apparently OCC Choppers (aka America Chopper, formerly of the Discovery Channel, now on TLC). Given that the actual movie episodes I've seen (I, Robot) broadcast well after the movies are released, I can see this happening. Who knows? Maybe I'll see it at Botcon.

And speaking of which, the first pics of the Botcon set have been released, and it starts with Dirge.

SWB, out.

Oh no...
I thought that truck was just a joke in the script and they weren't gonna actually DO IT.
This hurts me....

Sporticus · 04-22-2007, 03:50 PM

You thought that they put a joke line of action in the script?

I was more hoping and praying to god it wasn't gonna be in there....

Sporticus · 04-22-2007, 06:25 PM

I'm pretty sure that it was Bay or one of the higher ups that leaked the script.
Any publicity is good publicity.

Why? All those things ever were, were just electronic plastic bricks with fur on 'em.

I just don't see why they deserve the love they get. And in editing, I can see this carnage just being a quick throwaway easter egg.

And in actual news, I got a UPS notification e-mail, & Masterpiece Megatron should be here on the 24th. Yay! (And all this waiting for an orange plug that I didn't really want in the first place.)

Also, I very much doubt that Bay released the script, or if he did he's pretty foolish, as there were a number of doom & gloomers that came out of the woodwork thanks to its release.

Sporticus · 04-23-2007, 01:56 AM

Oh, he knows people will see it just to watch giant CGI robots fight on screen. Like I said, any publicity. Hell, the entire 'Whine Whine Bitch Complain' movement is only helping Bay.

The thread finally rings true, and I did manage to get the plug out. Did a tiny bit of damage (nothing you'd notice unless you knew what you were looking for), but if that's the price I must pay, so be it.

The legs don't look skinny at all in person. I wish there was a bit more articulation, especially in the arms. Some of the minor design choices baffle me. Fer instance, they have these little interlocking parts that turn out. However, I don't see why they just didn't mold them always out. They don't effect the overall look, and moving them out usually entails pulling off the panels (at least for me it does).

I also wish the scope could've been a tad smaller, and that it could've been mounted on the side, as well as up top.

My last complaint is that the ball & chain has WAY too many links. They could've done with a fair few less.

Other than that, the guy is pure love. Great paint job, awesome detailing, and precision work down to the wire. The transformation is insanely complex! Makes you feel pride to have TF'd him correctly, but I suppose some ppl might hate that.

He's also very light. Only his feet & spine appear to be die-cast. Making him easy to play with, and frankly makes me what to sing:

I can believe you can fly, I believe you can touch the sky...

Not perfect, but the closest to perfection that Megatron ever has gotten.

Here's a link to my Flick-R folder, which has an even bigger picture.

I'm hoping to get him for Christmas. God willing.
