Prime 1 Beast Wars Megatron Statue

[craigcliff1]

that's so awesome

[jadekite22]

I wish I had more interest in Optimus Primal to pair with this. G1 Megatron is the s--t, but the Dinobot one is *my* Megatron.

[Bolo2002b]

He look nice and hopefully rattrap and dinobot would be made too.

[Ranz]

Super cool

[loricstone]

Mighty impressive sculpt...I just am not a fan of Beast Wars at all.

[KELPIE]

Without no evidence to support it, I thought that Optimus Primal didn't sell well enough.

This steals the show for me and will look great next to Primal. I can't wait.

The only problem I have is that both Primal and Megs are facing/pointing in the same direction.

[Smooth Criminal]

Day one order for me

[ambasah]

this looks killer ! thank god I have come to terms with there being no transformers in my collection.

[KELPIE]

Just popping these in here - Thanks Guilty (http://www.statueforum.com/showthread.php?p=5397980#post5397980) for all the hard work.

I had pretty much all of the Beast Wars toys as a kid. Never thought I would be buying 1/4 scale statues of these guys. I'm surprised Prime 1 is even giving Beast Wars attention honestly. I wonder how far they're going to take it.

Part of me wants them to stop at Megatron for my bank accounts sake, but I'd absolutely love them to tackle some transmetal bots.

Day one preorder easy. He'll be joining Optimus Primal. I can't not buy them. The nostalgia is too strong.

Crap detail and accuracy on Rex,the rest is good.

[SONICobra]

dinobots having a bad day...

[batman1180]

Crap detail and accuracy on Rex,the rest is good.

I think the Rex head is a reuse from the Guyver 0 base. They look almost identical in the majority of details on it.

[craigcliff1]

Picture shown on Sideshow section. Looks great.

Holy ----... that is a gorgeous statue... the colors, the lights, the pose, and the base. All 10/10.

I don't collect Transformers/Beast Wars, but a Blackarachnia from Prime 1 would be VERY tempting.

[majestic1]

Wow that's a stunner.

[Smooth Criminal]

amazing day 1 for me :D!!

[Jesse Custer]

This will be a freakin masterpiece! Still can´t believe they are making Beast Wars. This brings back a lot of childhood memories.

TOTALLY, awesome piece it came out better than I was expecting to be honest

this is what I always wanted the action figure to look like lol

[KELPIE]

It might be this particular picture however the purple looks a little... off?

Are we not going to argue that the cannon should be purple?

Anyway - day 1 for me.

OMG! Kid me is freaking out right now. That is incredible work. Ultimate companion piece to Primal. Day 1 no doubt. Take this line as far as you want Prime 1... or you can end it here to save my bank account.

[craigcliff1]

Transmetal would be cool
Dinobot
Waspnator

[Aphotic]

YESSSSSSS

[SONICobra]

poor dinobot lol

[Vendetta]

This is so cool. I'd get this for sure if I collected Transformers.

[Doctor Doom]

DAY ONE PRE-ORDER....LONG LIVE MEGATRON!

[Comicbookguy]

Bump for freaking bad a$$ statue that must be bought. Nuff said! Now go buy primal for the set.

[Smooth Criminal]

cant wait!!! wonder what ex is!

[T.MAC]

Saw the pics and vids from Comic Con. That statue is a thing of beauty! Really, really nice. Wow.

[VS1976]

This is a great looking statue. Pass though. Can't have everything.

[komodo112]

This statue is a 10 out of 10.

Everything about this one is perfect

- Pose
- Lights
- Base
- Detail

I can't find any cons to it whatsoever

[Comicbookguy]

This is a great looking statue. Pass though. Can't have everything.

This is better than some T&A. Or sell off a double and buy this Dino guy. He's a must own for a beast wars fan! Next we may get TM2 megatron! And blackarachnia TM2! But this better not be more than primal which is already insanely overpriced.

I could see this being more than Primal - I'm guessing $1100-1200, but I hope it is in fact $1000 for people planning on getting it.

Rubber Duckie?

[jasong888]

probably my favorite piece at SSC's booth. can't wait to see what the exclusive and how future, if any, projects look with megatron. looks so much better in person than what the pictures in the thread show.

[KELPIE]

I'm glad they fixed the LED in the cannon to purple.

Hurry up with the PO, Primal comes out next month.

[majestic1]

Pre-order is coming this week.

[NinNin]

Been waiting for this one. Good to know. Day one for me. Need to get going on those payments lol.

[Comicbookguy]

If I don't po this one I will quit collecting.

Finally!

Thanks for the heads up.

[SONICobra]

i think the smirking portrait is the way to go, the ex is nice but this version of megatron was more smug than menacing imo

Looking good.

[chavez553]

This is a grail you guys.

[chavez553]

And I didn’t realize the tyrannosaurus head was going to be so huge.

So this is bound to ship soon, right?

[Doctor Doom]

NASTY!!!! Can't wait!!

[Comicbookguy]

Can’t wait! This looks so much bigger than the p1 generation 1 statues.

[KELPIE]

Yeah, I was surprised at how big Primal was.

I'm really looking forward to this one.

[craigcliff1]

It's a masterpiece.

[DeadGhostKnight]

It looks soooo goood! Prime 1 really making it hard not collect so many different lines for me.

But the T Rex head does give me an idea of how big the Rex head on the Guyver 0 base should be lol.

[chavez553]

Got my processing notice today.

Sideshow starts charging next Thursday!

[DPmaster]

These Beast Wars statues look epic imo. Congratulations to those that are getting this!

[Comicbookguy]

Got my processing notice today.

Got my shipping soon notice too. hope it has no issues. My primal had some qc issues.

[KELPIE]

I'm sure they've used the same digital sculpt.

[Comicbookguy]

Shipped!!!! Can’t wait! This is going to be so cool!

[chavez553]

Mine shipped as well. Next Thursday!

[Comicbookguy]

Mine shipped as well. Next Thursday!

congrats this will be the best version of this guy ever made. We may never see another again in this quality and scale since sales seems to be lackluster at these prices. :wink2:

[chavez553]

These are sold out for the most part.

I can’t find the regular edition anywhere on Sideshows site

[chavez553]

congrats this will be the best version of this guy ever made. We may never see another again in this quality and scale since sales seems to be lackluster at these prices. :wink2:

Yeah, thanks man.


I highly doubt they’ll revisit this line. They may have done better if they did a smaller scale, not sure though. These threads are too empty for them to consider anything else.

Glad I picked up both though. I think having them is far better than owning any of the OG or newer Transformers.

[KELPIE]

I was happily surprised that they made Megatron. After the perceived reception/sales of Primal I felt this was no chance.

Grabbed both and they will look good with my other Transformer statues.

Kinda the same way people buy superheroes in different costumes.

[Comicbookguy]

Yeah, thanks man.

Yes, I'm glad they did the bigger scale though. At least we have the two main characters now. The scale in this size has much more presence than the smaller scales. They are going to look so good together. :D

[Comicbookguy]

The box came in today and whoa! The box is the biggest one I've ever seen! Bigger than those massive xm boxes. Even bigger than xm ghost rider. I can't even carry it myself. It's like a size of a medium cabinet. I never po any 1:3 yet but this box is the biggest I've ever owned. It wont even fit in my small car. And I can fit p1 guts in my car. That was huge, but this is much bigger than guts box.

[DPmaster]

Post pictures when you get a chance!

Can you explain in your own words who this purple dinosaur dude is supposed to be? Do you think I can flexpay him on a $4.25/hr wage?

[Comicbookguy]

Yes this purple metal metallic monster guy is huge! I will open it up this week. I actually bought this with my 13.90 hr wage working at a grocery store. I just had to save up. But the good news is wages might be going up soon by a dollar. Anything helps!

[majestic1]

CBG the most dedicated troll I've ever seen, this act has been going on years now, kudos.

[DPmaster]

He shares personalities with this guy.

[chavez553]

Going home now to open mine.

[chavez553]

Mine.

[chavez553]

Couple more shots.

[DPmaster]

Looks great with Optimus Primal!

[chavez553]

Thanks man.

This is a nice display, these two.

[MegatronG1]

Thanks for sharing, chavez! Phenomenal as a pair. Beast Wars had some suprisingly good writing for its time. Other than the masterpiece toys, I don't see anyone ever topping this. Going to hop on the wait list.

[chavez553]

Yeah, go for it man. It’s well worth the $1100

He’s really big.

[KELPIE]

Looks fantastic!!

My main original gripe still stands. With them both facing the same direction, we get the back of one of them if we wanted to pair them off.

I guess I'll have them both facing forward.

It's a small nitpick for something so cool.

Still no shipping notification though :(

[chavez553]

I faced Optimus forward and left Megs facing Optimus

You just don’t see enough of Optimus with them both facing each other. I tried facing Megs with his back to me but there’s not enough space in my display to have him that way, even though he did look decent with his back to me.

That T Rex head is amazing. I love this statue. I might be done with Transformers for a while. Looks like I’m running out of space anyway. Lol. I have enough room for 4 or 5 my more big prices and that’s it.

Zodd should be coming soon!

[Comicbookguy]

Errrr just opened the Megatron and it looks great! The T-REX head is not lighting up. It's very dim. Did anyone have the same problem? Was the light already in the t rex head? I fiddled with it with no luck. This situtaion sucks and that why I hate electronics in statues. Is there an other button, or do I need to tighten up something?

[Phoenixblazes]

Did you try new batteries?

[chavez553]

There is only one button.

Your batteries are low. Same happened to me

Ah, thanks so much will try that tonight. That's great if it works. Will update tonight.

Ah, thanks so much will try that tonight. That's great if it works. Will update tonight.

Hope it works out.

I have packets and packets of LR44's as those appear to be the most popular sized button cell batteries used in a lot of collectibles (outside of Hot a Toys).

So usually I have spares aplenty, for when something like that happens.

[Comicbookguy]

Thanks to all who help. It came on! Now I’m back to being excited again instead of feeling down. This piece is awesome! Love the memories it brings back. It’s does remind me of the toy. Only much better! The presence is really good! The light is on below. Not super bright but on. I can definitely tell it’s on. I will add a pic tonight.

Yeah it is.

Tha base is really cool. And Megatron is so much bigger than Optimus.

If you have both, you basically get a updated scene from show of them about to battle.

That Te Rex head is amazing. I can see it in all it’s glorious detail from my couch 10 feet away.

[Divinesorrow]

No pictures!? You guys are killing me

[chavez553]

I would but my pics come out sideways for some reason.

[chavez553]

I posted more at SS.

[KELPIE]

Still no shipping notice for me yet.


:tumblew:

Not that I'm complaining. Have nowhere to put it.

I'm still in the pack one away open one rotation until the new house is built.

Same here. Lol...
Ok just came home turned on the megatron and the light was fine. I took some pics of it and when I was done the light in the T. rex head faded to nothing again. I will buy another set of new batteries to try again. I sure hope this statue is not going to give me a heart attack trying to get it right. This is really hard work and stressful here. But we all know why we put up with it. :)

Unfortunately button cell batteries drain extremely fast.

On a lot of Iron Man Hot Toys, they run out almost immediately.

After the first week I almost never use light ups powered by button cell batteries, unless I utilise a batttery elimator of some sort to replace the button cells and or AA/AAA batteries.

Thanks! I think he's fine now. My batteries was not the good quality kind. The new batteries was weak but works. At these prices I was expecting batteries. This thing is so cool! Pics do it no justice. In person he reminds me of the toy so much! But much bigger, higher quality and cooler! This beast has sentimental value to many TF fans. :)

[KELPIE]

I don't know why statue companies don't have a port to plug these guys in.

It would be much better, you can then set them to timers with the rest of the lights.

[craigcliff1]

P1 wrote on Collectors Group that they have no plans for this line. What I had figured.

[Window Shopper]

I've been on the waitlist for this on Sideshow forever. It suddenly switched from 'in stock' to waitlist one day, after sitting there for some time, with no 'low stock' warning at all, so I missed it at the time.

Any idea where else I could hunt down an EX, or is it pretty much a lost cause at this point?

[craigcliff1]

SC had them a while ago.

[craigcliff1]

Sorry they are out of stock now
