Canadian Customs allow MP Megatron imports

TFWorld2005 have picked up on a story from The Globe and Mail (a Canadian newspaper), that Canadian Customs have performed a u-turn on the rules which banned the import of Transformers Masterpiece Megatron due to it's realistic look. The Customs report states that due to the oversized nature of the figure it could not be misinterpreted as a replica gun and therefore can be imported into the country.

Japanese Movie Megatron to feature different colours?

We've updated out Talk Transformers July 2007 Mirror with an image of Transformers Movie Megatron, Leader Class, which appears to have different colour applications to the western version. The most obvious of which are the feet.

In addition to this we've updated our AcToys July 2007 mirror with some images of a custom G1 Convoy statue, standing over six feet tall, as well as several images of a custom Decepticon throne for Masterpiece Megatron. Both items are pretty neat, and worth a look.

Kremzeek figure included (different mold from the one that comes with Kiss Players Autorooper x Atari)
Working Trigger action when in Gun mode
Same size as MP-01 G1 Convoy!!

Die-cast parts
Memorable accessories include energy mace, laser-cutter and gun from Transformers: The Movie (used by Megatron in the fight with Optimus Prime).
New transformation designs and concepts, for example moving the trigger part to the legs, improving overall Robot proportion.
Due to toy gun regulation in the US, Walter P-38 Megatron was never in the plans when the Japan team worked with the US team. MP-05 Megatron is designed and developed solely by the Japan team, solely for the Japan market.

There are also new images of the toy in gun mode at Fan to Fan and Amiami
