Thanks to Seibertronian EvasionModeBumblebee for letting us know that Transformers MPM-14 Bonecrusher has been announced by Target as part of their Summer Geek-Out and pre-orders are live at both Target.com and Hasbro Pulse. He has a few interesting features like 50 points of articulation, over 180 deco operations, flame effects, alternate forks and, yes, the head is removable! In fact he comes with an alternate destroyed head with an eye hanging out. He's priced at $164.99 and is expected to be out in late November 2023.

I got my copy preordered. Having seen the real vehicles in Afghanistan, this looks pretty darn close to the real Army Buffalo vehicle. Not that the Studio Series was that off in design but now having this in the MPM line, wonderful. I am loving it.

Gotta say, I think they nailed Bonecrusher! Gets his proportions down very well, and the versatility of the claw arm is super cool! Wasn’t initially planning on getting it since I’m more of an SS collector than MPM, but it looks so good I’m definitely leaning towards picking him up!

I’m just really glad Bonecrusher’s design has finally gotten justice! Past figures have been pretty good but this is on a whole new level.

My favorite Decepticon at last gets the MPM treatment!!!!

I am so happy with this, this appear to have done a superb job. He looks so good! all the dirt and weathering details are fantastic! His design looks just like it did in the movie! the alt mode rules! He has the flames from when he smashed through the bus on the highway chase! The alternate head!

It's all so great. This makes me so very happy.

I don't know if I would call it simple so much as fairly straight forward and not the type of transformation where you're likely to break something if you don't get the order exactly right.

I really wish they'd do a 2.0 on Prime. It was released between Movie the Best Leaders MB-11 and MB-17 and didn't feel like much of an improvement over those two, especially the weird painted windows, at twice the price. I don't own one, I couldn't justify it and use MB-11 to fill the role.

Thanks to ToyBase on Youtube, we have our first transformation video for the upcoming Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-14 Bonecrusher! This video gives us some size comparisons in robot mode and in alt mode for Bonecrusher compared to MPM-4 Optimus, as well as a full vehicle to robot conversion sequence.

Bonecrusher appears to have a very intuitive yet straightforward transformation, with some awesome little details such as how his crotch wheels in the inner thighs are formed, and how much of his alt mode goes into his giant claw.

Also briefly shown off are the flame effects from when he smashes through the bus, his alternate claw pieces, and his alternate face from when Prime gives him a solid punch.

Check out the video below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

I agree 100%.
But I've been burned twice by preordering MPM Starscream and Blackout from Amazon.JP.
I paid the high price and the high shipping, only for the damn things to pop up on clearance locally with free shipping.

I WILL get that Bonecrusher, but this time, I'll bid my time and wait for the local sale.

I already got his preorder down to $120 shipped, so I think I've got him good here

I dunno how you did it, but for me, preordering from Amazon.JP amount to a whopping 27K yen, shipped and taxed.
As for ordering from Canadian stores, the base price of the toy is more expensive, but the shipping is much cheaper. The total is still 265$CAN though.

And for some reasons, I can't find it in any American online stores.

So, yeah.
I have no choices but to wait.

True, but they would be importing from Japan (or perhaps Asia) plus a markup which doesn't really make for much of a savings, if any.

That's how it usually goes.

I hope Bonny will be like MPM Starscream and Blackout and be available everywhere for a long time like a locust plague in Canada. Then the inevitable sale will come and I'll be willing to get one.

How many of you watched the early review for MPM Bonecrusher from PrimevsPrime? There's a moment where he is a bit puzzled by how the ratchets sound and feel when moving the leg back. He wasn't the only person to sense that and a fan who purchased Bonecrusher recently (now that he's being found at retail) wanted to get to the bottom of it so they disassembled that section. And low and behold: they found the joint was broken. You can see the image below. Its unknown if the Ratchet joint comes broken in these examples or if it broke after handling, nor do we know how widespread the issue is. We just wanted to give you a heads up an explain why this area of your toy may not seem right when you handle it.

At 240$CAN plus taxes, that's one more reason to wait for a sale.

Looks like there is one already, albeit this isn't known to be a widespread issue.

Unscrewing the four screws in the back of the crotch piece, a user was able to supply this picture, where the image on the left is the problem, and the picture on the right is the correct position.

That IS a QC issue. This is a missassembled part. Something that should have been built and inspected correctly.

Change "not buy anymore" to "not pre-order anymore." Why limit yourself? Just wait and see how the general quality will be. Furthermore, MPM toys are expensive but are widely available everywhere and WILL go on sale sooner or later. So, no rush.

My copy's ok. Pretty good figure, transformation isn't necessarily complicated but there are a ton of steps. Steps that I will likely never memorize :michaelbay:

I got my Bonecrusher in hand, and I am beyond happy. Bonecrusher's scenes in the 2007 movie really struck me, and is the reason I am here. He is my all time favorite Decepticon. And this MPM lives up to that. This is a very good figure, I really like him! The fact they built in the bus-smashing flame effects and the fork options is great, plus the face sculpts. I adore him. Transformation is solid, involved, but not hugely difficult. And he is just beyond good. I am so happy.

You were lucky.

Still, the problematic part seems to be standard so anyone like me who have a big box-O-scraps on hand can find a replacement inner ratchet 0 part easily.
