And following our first report and images of the unexpected Studio Series SS-31 Battle Damaged Megatron, now we have our first in-hand images courtesy of Stanley Cheung from the Hobbymizer Hong Kong Discuss Group on Facebook.

We are sure most fans would be pleased with the new deco an extra details of this release. The new dark gray plastic looks very movie accurate, plus some smart new paint applications on the rest of the body. Gold traces, weathering effect over the body and tank parts. The big long claw of the right hand is now painted gold. Of course, we don’t have to forget the new battle damaged head as seen in the Revenge Of The Fallen Film after the battle with Optimus Prime. We can also confirm this is the only change of this mold, the rest of the body is exactly the same as the original Studio Series SS-03 Megatron.
