Images of Takara Tomy Transformers Movie The Best Megatron, Jazz, Lockdown, Bonecrusher

The paintjobs look gorgeous but they are, at the end of the day, still mostly mediocre molds. Though I do kinda want that Bonecrusher.

I really like the new head sculpt on Lockdown, makes the figure look way better. Still looking forwards to seeing the war hammer Bumblebee.

Goddammit Megatron. We've told you a thousand times; use your table manners! You've gone and gotten tomato sauce all over your face!

This in a weird way gives me high hopes that we'll get a 2018 Movie toyline after the leaks back in July(?), but these figures look good (need a 2007 Jazz amd Bonecrusher, Lockdown's tempting me, and Megs is alright). I hope the Movie the Best line still continues after this second wave.

Oooooooh, the Final Battle toy's weapon for Jazz!

And Lockdown now has a hook... even though it was more of a two-pronged claw in the movie.

Buggers. Showing me the only ones I was on the fence about. And now I begrudgingly want them all. Though Lockdown is just BARELY squeeking by because of that new hook. I might even just give it to my OS KO.

These dissapoint me for the most part. Not that I ever wanted that Jazz mold again but the Leader Megatron doesnt have that much new to offer. The hasbro/Takara leader already has all that battle damage deco this one has so the only new part is the red face paint and that feels quite minimal.

Lockdown does indeed have the most novelty to him, but I dont need him as a deluxe now that i have the OK KO.

He had both. The hook was to nab Prime, and the claw tore out Ratchet's spark. I'd say his new gun is based off the claw.

Wow, these are tempting me, especially lockdown, he looks so good with that hook.

Well damn, Lockdown looks like he should have on his original toy. I would be tempted by this new Lockdown if it weren't for the mediocre mold, the fact I will soon have 4 different versions of the skeleton, and the fact that he doesn't appear to have his head cannon.

Once again via TFND on Facebook, we have the second row of Takara Tomy Transformers Movie the Best figures recently revealed - the first can be found here! Check out below official images of Jetfire, Optimus Prime (and their combination, as seen in Revenge of the Fallen), Hammer Bumblebee, Hound, and Nemesis Prime!

Goddamnit I just want the Voyager TLK Prime in actual Nemesis Prime colours..

Wowzer! I'm loving them all! Still wonder if Leader Prime and Jetfire will have new sounds like MB-11 Prime did.

They did really good with Hound there. The extra stuff really helps him out. I actually gave the TLK one all my AoE Hound weapons and am keeping the AoE one in alt mode. Jetfire looks pretty good too. Revenge Prime is a nope.

I am really tempted by Bee. Every TLK version of him needed that hammer. Shame this is the only one.

Strongly tempted by Nemesis too. I have yet to get any Nemesis version of Prime, and that version is killer.

wait so does revenge Prime come with jetfire as a double pack? Because if not, then his price makes no damn sense.

Also, the deco on Hound is very lackluster.

Him coming in a 2-pack with Jetfire would make even less sense, considering he has a standalone release as well.

No, the high price must partially stem from his electronics, plus the extra accessories he comes with, like the knuckles, hand-held Battle Blades, and him being a hybrid of the standard RotF Leader (chest), Jetwing/Striker (forearms) and Ulitmate Edition (hands).

That's what I was thinking.... that "Revenge Prime" looks exactly the same, has the same items (minus the face ripping hooks) and costs MORE. He has to be paired up with Jetfire....

But its the same stuff MB11 has more or less and his price was 2/3 the price. Once again, why buy this?

I some of them - but I would have liked an alternative head on Jazz (for example).

I think if you want the Nicest deco it might be worth checking out some of the other lines 1st.

I likely have 10 of Jazz's Mould already - I'm really struggling to look for a reason to buy another one.

The one I use the most is the G1 colour version - that one is really spiffy - Final battle Jazz is nice too. I also like Smokescreen.

Perhaps a more creative way to have progressed would have been to make the Human Alliance one in a Battle damaged deco.

Heck just make some more Human Alliance in general - Landmine for a start and Attack Mode Topspin then Jolt, and a 1960's Bumblebee.

Thank you now I'm hungry for jello megatron figure looks better to hasbro Figure with better paint job to make Figure

Jazz, Bonecrusher, Megatron, Bee, ROTF Optimus and Jetfire are all "WHY". Those figures are NOT rare and have nothing really new to offer.

Lockdown with new head? Yeah, that one is indeed nice.

New part to "complete" Hound's vehicle mode? BRILLIANT! Too bad his paint job is so... plain...

And finally, dat Nemesis Prime... DAMN he's so tempting. Having gotten rid of all of my AoE Leader Optimuses, including AD-31, I am really tempted by this one. The ugly-ass backpack is no more, plus he have SOMETHING NEW to offer with that swell and unique deco. Let's hope the price will be somewhat reasonable.

The same reason they keep releasing MP-10 and jacking up his price every time. Because if you didn't buy it last time, then you'll pay whatever they demand to get it this time.

Not sure I want to pay over 100$CAN for that. Sure, the yen did drop, making importing from Japan more affordable, but there will be shipping and as you know so well, customs are random and can be nasty.

Will wait for either a sale or some video review.

Yep. I will be getting that Bumblebee.

Still annoyed calling him Nemesis Prime.
Nemesis Prime should be black and teal, not Blue and Red.
Who the hell makes these decisions. Yes he needed to be on the poster
and look like Optimus Prime for false advertising since 95% of the movie is
stupid humans with retarted dialobue.
And people wouldn't recognize Optimus is he was black and teal and not go see
the movie because people are equally intelligent like the dialogue in this movie.

Prices are through the roof. Hammer looks good on Bumblebee.
Did we ever get that claw-grappling hook Bumblebee had in TF4?

noctorro wrote: Did we ever get that claw-grappling hook Bumblebee had in TF4?

Nope, although I did hodgepodge one together on my AOE Bumblebee with the plasma cannon he came with and some mechanical pencil clips. Actually looks pretty good!

He's screen accurate. Why's that so hard to understand? I'm glad it's like that and not the other way around. If it's not to your liking, go but AOE Black Knight Prime. He ain't expensive either.

With all this MB talk, I decided to go back to my MB 11 and noticed something odd. His left elbow has a ratcheted joint while his right does not. is that the same with anyone else?

I have three wishes if we ever get another wave of MB figures.
1:Voyager HFTD The Fallen. Would be cool to have a screen accurate version of this guy who isn't a weird blue color

2:Voyager AOE Galvatron. Would look great in silver, and a pretty good figure considering how he 'transformed' in the film

3:Deluxe TLK Barricade. I want him to be closer shade of blue to the one he was in the film, a new headsculpt would also be appreciated.

Probably an unpopular opinion with the first two choices, but if bloody Bonecrusher can get an MB figure then by Primus I want my shiny Galvatron!

Is this toy below a different sculpt?

The most notable differences are in the hands, and a newly sculpted head which improves articulation and better represents his appearance in the film...you can also violently rip off his face. He also has a command staff that previous versions of the figure lacked.

Totally on board with your Barricade idea. If he had the same cool head design as he did in the movie I'd have picked up the deluxe a long time ago.

So I pre-ordered Nemesis. He looks so sick, and I wanted to make sure that I had a pre-order. I can always cancel, but he looks so goooooooooooooooood

Judging by the hinges and lines on the hammer for Bumblebee, I'd say it stores in his vehicle mode, which is awesome!

That would Bee pretty cool


All awful puns aside, I think I'm still going to buy this one. I'll paint the Hasbro one I'm getting this week and keep the hammer one in perfect shape.

Mistakes can happen but made things right on improving this guy swapping heads. I will add him to the few Bayformers that I own. I can care less for the back scratcher they gave him. I suppose I could find other use and if not into the trash it will be tossed like most movie TF should.

Calling it now, I bet we're going to get a Nitro Zeus from this line with his proper Shockwave head.

Eh, but why though when we have a pretty great Shockwave toy from DotM?

Because in TLK, Nitro Zeus' head is taken exactly from DotM Shockwave's model. Bee's not saying they want Nitro Zeus as a Shockwave, but that they want a Nitro Zeus more accurate to his in-fiction appearance

Eh, I think the TLK one is pretty awesome anyway.

And who knows, maybe there was a TR Shockwave titan master planned that was the DotM Shockwave so you could swap heads, just like Thunderwing

Guys! I just got a look at the MB-09 Dinoride Grimlock with mini Optimus Prime figure! Holy crap that's awesome!! I must have it!! Takara!!! You guys sucked me in!!!

In spite of having 32 Voyager Grimlocks already.... I do still want this one. He looks perfect, so whats his problem? He's got no backup. There isn't a perfect deco'd Slag, Sludge, Swoop, or Scorn. However there are full(ish) teams, which look great, but aren't perfectly deco'd. Ugh... the struggles...

The final page from Figure King 236, via Loopaza Megastore, features the Takara Tomy Transformers Movie The Best figures, from MB-17 Optimus Prime/MB-16 Jetfire to MB-15 Lockdown, MB-12 Jazz plus the The Last Knight figures of Hound and Megatron! Check them all out in all two images below.

looks awesome, but will never afford this

I'm really torn... I don't want to wait and spend $40 on a deluxe Bee, but this one has the hammer, and that is awesome and necessary to go with Nemesis Prime

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:I'm really torn... I don't want to wait and spend $40 on a deluxe Bee, but this one has the hammer, and that is awesome and necessary to go with Nemesis Prime

It's kind of a tough call, but I think I am going to get this MB version instead of the Hasbro one. The paint apps still aren't perfect, but they're certainly better than the Hasbro version. I'm really glad they added black paint to the vents on the sides of the Camaro, because there's no way I would've been able to paint them myself without messing up. The shade of yellow plastic appears to be more movie accurate, and there seems to be a slight angle to his arm with the plasma cannon in the one picture, so they might have fixed the problem the original had and make his plasma cannon work on his right arm. Of course, the hammer really does it for me, since I was planning on picking up a third party one anyways. I'm really not fond of paying that much for a deluxe, but I'm OK with buying just this figure.

Although that also means I won't be getting a deluxe Bumblebee for TLK until around 10 months after the figures first got released in the US

Another thing I have thought about a lot. Waiting that long.. for Nemesis it is alright, but for my Bumblebee? Eh. Though I did get the MP hammer, but are they planning to make one for the deluxe? can they? (I forget what kind of hands it has)

Yep! Although it shows it with the wave 1 Bee, it should work with the new one.
