Just a note, I forgot when I was transforming him in the video, but Megatrons shins shift upward as well.

Enjoy!

There is a much rumored, not confirmed, and not denied new series in the works for Transformers that has been referred to as Transformers: Heroes. A number of other sites have reported on it, but thats about all they reported because nothing else was known really. Voicecasting is happening in LA. TFW2005 brings us news the David Kaye has confirmed he has been cast as Optimus Prime.

For those who don’t know who David Kaye is, he voiced Megatron in Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron. It seems like a curious choice as Optimus Prime, considering his past with Megatron.

By way of TFormers, Digital-Toys has come out and said that the next Masterpiece figure from TakaraTomy will be Megatron.

We’ve just received official word from Takara that the next entry in the Masterpiece line will be MP-05 Masterpiece Megatron to be released March 2007 for only $99.95 Pre-order yours today….

Also, Takara has officially DENIED the rumors that TFC 06 Megatron will be re-released in December.

It should be interesting to see how this turns out if this is true. Having only seen 2 Masterpiece figures so far and those two figures being so very different, Megatron is really going to be a crap shoot. The real question is, what will the alternate mode be?

Thanks to Blanktoe for the heads up!

[Update – Crazy: TFW2005 is reporting he will be released in March 2007. Their source was a different vendor than Digital-Toys so its looking like this is more legit than just a rumor.]
