I'm a fairly new subscriber, and I'd like to say that I love how unforgiving you are. People seem to forget how much this shit costs. I really appreciate that you don't take that for granted
thank you and welcome
You prolly dont care but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost the login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Luis Orlando instablaster ;)
@Carter Ignacio Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Carter Ignacio It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
When your wife and dad are having lunch but you're to busy transforming Megatron...
Some say he’s still transforming megs today
This Megatron is way better than I expected. I've been waiting to see what Takara brought to the table before I trade up Apollyon. I still prefer the aesthetics of Despotron so I will go with him, however I can appreciate how purists can love this figure as the definitive cartoon Megatron. Solid unit, great review as always.
thank you
Its always a sacrifice. If we want a Megatron that is even a little cartoon accurate, we gotta deal with a bullcrap transformation.
Pepsi agreed
Takara should have released this as MP- *38* rather than as MP-36, because the original alt mode was supposed to be a Walther *P.38* pistol.
Now that you’ve mentioned it (or rather I’ve read your comment) I imagine that they thought of this, how could they miss it? I would think it was a great idea, ‘Megatron P 38. Maybe they felt it would be confusing or infringing on something like copyright or rules of using a real name of a gun. No idea why, but I would bet they spotted that and could’ve easily rejigged the releases but chose not to. It would’ve been worth doing for fans if it was possible.
Interesting watching this 3 years later. The genius engineering and presence for MP Megatron, is what got me into collecring MPs last year. I expected a much more overwhelmingly positive review. I think he is as perfect as possible for a transforming figure. In 2020 all other MP megs are pretty much forgotten.
As a robot, he looks incredible.
pretty good for sure
@@MythsAndHeroes but as a gun???
loved the collector voice mimic around 43:00, hit that one on the mark!
:)
The skit alone was worth the price of admission, so true, haha!
Amazing review for an amazing figure.
many thanks
That skit should be a public service announcement. Love it.
lol many thanks
I love this thing, can't wait to get him in hand. I know the paint chipping is an issue however I'm pleased that they went this route, they could have easy made him entirely from grey plastic (Like Shockwave) and that would have been a huge mistake IMO. I think Takara nailed it with this guy.
enjoy!
Great review as always. It's a nice bookend to your recent Masterpiece videos, which I also enjoyed. It's kind of funny that no one ever mentions the original Masterpiece Megatron anymore, especially since we've seen so many iterations of the figure. Takara has come a long way. :)
that's a fact!
What sells me on MP36 is the accessories. What turns me off is the easy paint chipping, the visible head in gun mode and the insane amount of visible folds/hinges. I can deal with the Chigurh style arms, but not at a +$200 price point on a figure that some claim to be the holy grail of Megatrons. To me, they tried to reinvent the wheel. If it was prices at $140, I'd probably buy it. And as for price, try buying it anything in $CDN. Just add 30% and triple the shipping costs.
Anyways, great review. Keep up the great work.
fair points all around
Sorry for sounding like an angry nerd. :p
+Nick, the head showing in the gun mode is cool IMO.
At the risk of sounding cliché, if you like it, then you win. :)
I love the look and feel of this guy not a mp guy this figure is amazing.
Great, balanced review as always Mr S. I think you're spot on with your comparisons to the 3P offerings, I think there's now a Megatron to suit everyone's tastes, but no one figure to suit all tastes.
Personally Apollyon still commands my MP Decepticons as he has the best look for the other figures on the shelf, for the same reason Quakewave still stands next to him over the official figure.
That said, this effort from TT is solid, and a million miles away from the nightmare vision that was MP5.
many thanks
Uhg man I really REALLY want him, I got the money for him, I’ve had the money for a long while but just the price is a big sting. Especially with that nightmare of a transformation. Most if not all reviews always boil down to a “yeah no there’s no way I’m going to bother transforming him and just have him at a robot mode”
Cause well...heck I’d do the same.
Not much of a fan of the orange safety tips, can’t seem to find many online that don’t have them. So that’s kinda of a downer for me.
Came across your reviews after looking into the BW Megatron MP I pre ordered. I gotta say I love how honest you are, you don’t sugar coat it, especially when it comes to the prices.
Great review!!! Golf claps for transforming him while under the influence.
thank you thank you
Its a complicated one but you have to admit man. The engineering of Master Piece Megs makes it possibly the greatest Transformer ever made.
Excellent review!! Some very solid points you made. 👍👍
Brant Lisk thank you
YAS! The review I've been waiting for.
wait no further
Fantastic review as always SKULL BROTHER!!! I was waiting for your review before I pulled the trigger on this piece. To me he is the best looking most toon accurate Bucket Head on the market which is what I want. As for your doing the transformations I think you do a phenomenal job and I love it. I suck at complex transformations and have actually not purchased a figure I wanted because I knew I wouldn't be able to do it. So watching you do it in your review allows me to buy the figure and then follow you step by step. Personally because of the risk of damage and the so so gun mode I think I'll buy this and leave it in bot mode simply for display. I love that I can give him the damaged look and can take some awesome pics of him fighting Prime. As always thanks for all the hard work and dedication you put into your reviews and don't ever change bro. BTW there should definitely be outward ratchets A stance be damed LOL...
lol thank you
Thanks for the continued shout outs my friend.
truth is the truth
Great review as always dude and despite one comment I read we appreciate the style you review these figures in and it's the reason we subscribe! To be honest I thought you might have slaughtered this guy because of the backpack but I'm glad you've seen all the positives about him as even I was concerned till I got him in hand! I genuinely think this could be a big turning point in the masterpiece line, takara obviously put a lot of effort and love into megatron and in my opinion had blown away the third party efforts! Keep up the good work good sir!
many thanks
Even if this channel wasn't about transformers I would probably still watch it just because bobby is so good at communicating his honest opinion.
Finally got this guy; I love him. Biggest issue for me is how the larger pieces are on decently-weighted joints, but the smaller pieces are tight asf! When I finally get them moved,I've shaken the thing and other pieces have come undone 😂
There's a lot to talk about here, and I believe you touched on most everything. Nicely done, Sir!
Joe Britt many thanks
Bobby Skullface L Did you notice on the box it says "Long Life Design"? Curious what that might mean.
Joe Britt it's some award they won
Nice shout out to T2RX6! Great review, glad I found this channel😃
hes a good dude and a very analytical reviewer
Skullface, I think I speak for everyone when I say, there's NOTHING like a Skullface review! Well done and shoutout to all the people (like me) who pay crazy attention to the smallest things like paint scuff marks.
thank you!
I think loosey-goosey Tipsy skull face is my new favorite thing. Great review man, I hope that you do the toy and cartoon comparison thing from now on because it's awesome.
hahaha thanks man, and I plan to with at least the tak releases
the review I've been waiting for
RexBot wait no further!
Face is painted too. Not just gloss on plastic.
GOOOOOOOOOD.
your face is painted *Robert D voice*
I've recently gotten back into transformers and I just wanted to say thanks for all these reviews to guide where stuff has developed and grown in the last decade.
Also, my wife loves the skits with your family and especially wants to let your wife that she "feels her pain," on tolerating a collecting/nerd/nonsense-speaking spouse.
hahaha thanks man, and welcome back
Another brilliant review that can be relied on, thanks! Rarely add Transformers to my personal toy collection these days, but I was hoping this Megs would be a must buy as I've yet to own a G1 Megatron. Looks like a nice overall package, but I'm finding it harder and harder to justify the price on these high-end Transformers when there's so much other cool stuff out there XD
I hear you man, and thank you
Excellent work, man!! I had to look at this after not noticing that in other reviews about the flight stand. (I wasn't aware of that feature)
Admittedly, I got one of the many KOs of this ("Emperor of Destruction" by Infinite Transformation). And given how insane the prices have gotten, I may be in the hunt for the G1 toy deco decadence that is MP36+; 212 and change at BBTS seems legit normal compared to the likes of 250 for the MP44 cab mold (as in MP49 Black Convoy), 300+ for MP43 Beast Wars Megatron, or even 450 for the full MP44.
Besides...there were add-on kits that had the G1 toy style face & chest that I missed the bus on, and while that'd probably still be cheaper than a whole MP36+, good luck finding that stuff nowadays...
I have to wonder *WHY* the engineering has to be so overly complex for the sake of show accuracy; Starsaber was quite show accurate to Transformers Victory - so much so that the folks at Reprolabels/Toyhax did a set to make MP24 look like the G1 toy - yet his design & transformation are _VERY_ simplistic, like CHUG simplistic, maybe even simpler than that. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
i vote to keep the transformations in. i'm heavy handed to, and if i see you do it it helps my decision to buy. the frustration is also entertaining :) great video
hahaha copy that
Thank for the review, Mr.Bobby. This is the best review for MP Megatron I've ever seen. I can feel a lot of effort in to this review, very great job.
I'll get this one but honestly, I think I may never transform him. I'm too lazy, lol
thanks and enjoy
Looks fantastic. Comes in the mail tomorrow. It will be the longest day lol.
enjoy
Great review as always and thanks for transformation steps helped me on a part I was stuck on.
my pleasure glad it helped
More Drunk Skullface Reviews.
Orin Thomas yes yes
Orin Thomas lol
Finally, great job Skully. I never buy any figures before i consult his videos
mareNzy thank you
I'm thrilled with my purchase. The price tag is high, but in hand that sticker shock is gone. Satisfying that Uncle Skullface gives his approval on him as well.
Chad Webb thanks for watching
It's been awhile since I opened an MP figure and was blown away. In hand it looks and feels amazing. Very solid figure. It is the best G1 cartoon accurate Meg to date. The articulation is outstanding and the poses you can pull off are very satisfying. I would recommend removing the face for transformation. I heard only the standard face that came on the figure should be used for transfermation not the others anyway. They could have included a similar piece to the chest plate to cover and smooth out the back but I'm sure a 3rd party will come up with something. We have been paying around 200 for mutiple MP-11 seeker molds for a long time now so I don't see why this wouldn't be around the same price point with all these accessaries. My only gripe is mine did come with minor paint chipping out of the box on some of the corner sections inside the chest area after further inspection. That said I couldn't be happier with this guy. Appolyon can finally be replaced. Solid review Sir !
thanks for watching
I think It would have been perfect if Takara instead of painted the whole figure, they should've used different shades of gray plastic with a sparkle flake finish, so they'll be no paint scuffing & rubbing!!!
Mattimal Optimus then they would have cried about that. if its there to cry about the tissues come out.
I do think they were in a bit of a paradox, but I also have seen megatron decos work without issues.
Bobby Skullface L third party apologist.
I really think the thing that would have made this figure better is a better price, and a paint-chip resistant coat on the paint.
Can't "knock" the hustle. Helluva review.
love me some reasonable doubt
Best review of 2017, great job as always! A must buy for me, probably wont transform him. I for one enjoy watching you do the transformations, and it comforts me in a strange way that I am not the only one who has trouble opening those fucking plastic sealed packages!
lol copy that
Great review as always would love to see a comparison with all 4 megs the damaged effect is thing of beauty. Won't be getting it (happy with Apollyon/mightron combo) but these companies should hire you in a consultant role to take them to the next level
dare2727 id love to see a four way comparison as well
Good Review. Thanks. I was on the bench about getting this. Its pricey, so I will wait a bit because Skyfire FT is on the way.
many thanks
sjit dude. good review. relevant points. figuring out whether I should get this next to my apollyon. I like the bulkiness and chestproportions of apollyon, but this guy looks sooo dynamic, even in a passive pose. steep price though. thanks once again.
Anthony Chojin thanks for watching.
Very nice review. I got mine last week and he's a definite step up in quality from the last several Masterpiece releases. The $230 price point is high but he's Megatron, not some third tier character like Seaspray so I bit the bullet.
glad you enjoy him
To enjoy the silencer, just wrap a single layer of masking tape around the back of the barrel tip. Comes off easy, doesn't strip paint, and protects it just fine. And the gun looks WAY better all gussied up. Also in alt mode - the hammer in the back isn't just for looks, when pushed up is secures the parts a bit better.
Anyway for a $200 + toy there should be zero scuffs when handled right. Minor or otherwise. At this price and with that trouble, they're really inviting guilt-free KO embrace.
good point
YOU AND YOUR WITTY RETORTS
excellent review as always. I got my copy and do see some minor paint scuffs from it. I handle my toys a lot and I'm sure it'll only get worse, but honestly that's a price worth paying for me and I'm hoping that takara doesn't shy away from painting the whole damn thing like they've been doing with this and the inferno mold, I'm accustomed to it now and expect it be the norm :)
hahaha I hear you
I was debating about transforming mine or not but after your review i think ill keep mine as bot mode permanently. Good thing my soundwave came with a gun mode megs.
good point
I'm not a Masterpiece guy, but I do have a Prime for my collection. This guy...THIS GUY makes me want to buy a Megatron for the first time out of all the past 3P releases. That bot mode, dead on the money!
kalron27 do it!
Another fine review of your hands ;)
lol
Awesome review as always. I really like the look of this guy I think Takara nailed him and I rarely have any issues about his flaws. The only issue I have is with the retailer shipping this guy to me at the end of the month... also about the color I totally agree grey looks better than the chrome. I've seen somebody custom theirs and I just thought to myself that he looks like he's getting glammed up for a night on the town.. (but each to their own I guess) looking forward to seeing your next video
Baxter Stockman thanks!
I know Soundwave is probably your favorite official Masterpiece would you say Megatron is in your top 5?
Maybe an alternate intoxicated review for some select pieces? Holy crap, I love it!
that may end up being a thing
Great review and I agree with others below intoxicated reviews could be the new thing for the more mature you tube audience. I really want this guy for sure and I missed out with kapow in England, hopefully they can get hold of a few more and I can order one in. I do need this figure "no matter the cost"
enjoy!
Impressive figure, impressive !!!
agreed
I watched the transformation with 24k Magic playing in the background. Seemed fitting. :)
hahahahaha
"That's no blender...." Great review!
hahahahah
on mine when i transformed it i just removed the chest and face to prevent damage.
i am glad i bought it though the color works better then i was expecting
nice, enjoy
If people are worried about scratching the face they can just remove it for the transformation. I do like the idea of using the battle damage chest for transformation. If the hip/butt is tough to pull down on the first transformation you can loosen the butt screws.
Great review as always Bobby! Looks like TT agreed with you on not giving logo choices, but it's too bad they went with the super hardcore toon style (small eyes, almost flat bottom).
thank you
Finally did gun mode, thanks for the assist.
You a madman!
another amazing review Mr Skullface. I think you sold me on him, just not sure when I'll get him. I knew this was going to be a long video due to your way of reviewing, if it would've been a short video than I knew their would've been a lot left out. As far as the electronics go, have you ever thought about doing a one & done shoot? As in just showing off the electronic feature ONLY during the review than permanently removing the batteries.
I have, im just not sure I want to dump money into all those expensive little battery types lol
i think this is the best megatron if you don't transform it. one thing i love about this piece is the mace i love the hinges so you can pose it but i miss the silver paint. awesome review
many thanks
Apollyon will stay. Till a Hasbrow release or Fanstoys comes out with one. Great review.
nothing wrong with that
Another great video Mr. Skullface. I have Apollon displayed with my other masterpiece. My question is,Megs is sitting in my "Pile of Loot" should I pull the trigger or just wait?
gregory pecht only you can make that decision (wise Jedi voice)
Thanks for your response yesterday. Thought I'de return the favour & Recommend something for you for your Star Saber.. I know you replaced some parts BUT... KFC,s Swordsman Add on set is AWESOME.. You do have to take the Arms, Legs, & Shoulders completely apart, BUT its worth it..IT replaces Everything Takara should have done to begin with. Can't recommend it enough!!!. Thanks Again for ALL your great video's.. Fan For Life
Bob Hillen awesome man thanks for the tip
That skit is me every single time I get one of those packages.
Erik Wolfe hahahaha
Nice video. Love the honesty. I will probably end up waiting (hoping) for a Hasbro version that uses the English version of Megatron on the sound tab. I really like my Apollyon. I think his gun mode is far superior. I'll probably just display him as such.
Blair Preston it will be interesting to see if hasbro puts it out with the gun and all
Yeah. For some reason Tanks and drones are cool but guns aren't...
I live in Michigan and they didn't put the orange tips on mine very happy about that!
how about that
Hope I can find it at a decent price in Japan. I agree on all points, I don't think I'll transform it more than once. It's a very expressive figure...can't wait for my favorite version of Megatron, the Beast Wars version. I wouldn't mind a G1-esque repaint though! I like the red legs and the swirly chest pattern.
fingers crossed for you
finally decided to get this. I d say, if action figure poseability or cartoonaccurate is what you want, this guy is IMHO the best takara has ever done, and easy top 3 of all mp scaled bots.
glad you enjoy it!
For what it's worth, Bobby, the plug on the suppressor does come off. With a nice firm grip on the suppressor, I used a pair of vice grips to carefully clamp down on the orange plug and, with a careful amount of tugging, it popped right out just like the plug in the barrel.
copy that, thanks for the info
Not a problem, man! I was really dismayed when I got him and saw just how well glued in they appeared to be. Nothing a judicious amount of force couldn't correct!
I like that 6 years ago $200 for an MP seemed a lot. Now, that’s pretty much the norm and you also got $400 V3 MPs
His transformation is by far the most complex but luckily the material and clearance is solid to allow for a smoother transformation
Liege Lord fair point
Good review Bobby S,I think my wife order him for my B-day,enjoy your day mack.
SUNDAYHEAT COLLECTION you do the same
Haha. Great video. Nice spin with the tipsy Skullface. Which Megatron would you personally display if you had Apollyon and MP-36? Cheers!
depends on how you display them. for me, apollyon with optimus, 36 with the other deceps
Thanks for the review! Overall I'm happy with mine; it's a very expressive figure and I'm blown away by all the dynamic poses he can do, especially with the flight stand. But one thing that is a huge bummer to me is that they did not engineer in a tab on his arm to fit MP Laserbeak. Am I the only one bummed by this oversight?
ive heard other voice concerns about that
Always enjoyed your reviews even if I disagree with some of them. Great job again. I still think the proportion is off for a transformer (the cartoon was never consistent in terms of proportion), especially comparing to MP10, but it's definitely the best looking Megatron aside from Apollyon. The gun mode sucks though. Hasbro can probably produce this guy in $100 range like they did MP10, but in a country that you can have real guns, but not toy guns, that may not happen. Keep up the good work.
many thanks
Great review Skullface. Ballz to the wall transforming on screen yo. Love MP-36 I pussed out and ordered two so one stays mint. The presence displayed behind glass is well nothing short of amazing. I think the build is sound and the paint is insane. BWahahahah I love the outward ratchets for legs just not the DX9 ratchets for attention to or the splits. Was that Mogley's voice imitation LOL! THE ONLY way I buy another MP Megatron is if Fans Toys Releases. Good Wednesday to you fellow collector. Agreed MakeToys Megatron will remain and still has its place Cybertron's Gladiator representation. The price of admission is worth it. The distributors know ToysRus will not be able to push therefore it is what it is.
thanks for watching
Thank you sir. The producers producer strikes again.
I haven't transformed him yet, but I will. good advice about using the damaged chest and face, even if that is how you wanna display, it almost makes sense to have some chips there. maybe they will blend or be camaflauged. I had a paint scuff right out the box close to the first one you showed, on the shoulder.
sorry to hear that
This was possibly the most entertaining review I've seen in quite some time. Thanks for the yucks bro. XD
my pleasure
worth the wait.
trence5 :)
I like the Maketoys Despotron.
I'm not slavishly devoted to this toon accuracy stuff as the toon was obnoxious. Despotron is beefy and menacing. Not necessarily better, but my preference.
Great job man.
Its funny, 12 months ago this would have been a day 1 pre-order for me, but I think I'm going to be passing on him. MT's works nicely for me and I don't think I can justify the price of admission when I don't have a full roster yet. #NoDoubleDipping!
astartespete nothing wrong with that :)
The most anticipated review from Bobby in 2017, I like the figure very much, but it is not worth 230 dollars, no chance in hell, I would rather hold on to my Apollyon and see if a KO version of this figure will be released eventually, or maybe who knows a re release will be cheaper in the near future, but I am not holding my breath.
230 is a bit steep
yes sir, I would go as high as 180 but thats it.
also hope you don't stop doing transformations. please don't take offense to this since it's definitely not my intention, but your coverage of transformation and articulation gives good insight on how durable the toy is.
hahahah I wont be stopping
12:38 "They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that what they were."
(kids from the 80's should get this one)
eyescovered neverending story!
Everyone thought that, however " The Nothing " made us see differently.
Another suggestion for the super duper careful people is that they just completely remove the face and remove the chest before transforming it into a gun.
I'm 80 comments late so I'm pretty sure somebody said that but if I got to go through it, you got to go through it.
Congrats on not breaking it. This is the best toy in the world to me right now.
glad you enjoy him
dunno why, but i just lost it at "Bob...I am a private person" lol
hahahaha
Excellent review, Bobby!
Have you tried transforming him without the face/chest plate? Wondering if this would remove any of the scuff issues
i have not
Good job as usual~! Agree on all your point except the price. $180 price was on sale/pre-order and it was gone. And, it was not including shipping from Japan as far as I know ($30+ for shipping). Currently, Japan retails is around $200. The two recent 3rd party Meg (around $140) do not come with the gun stock and silencer which can be used for different purposes. Those will cost $70 for 3rd party add-on easily. So, the real different will be around $20 compare to $230 price. If people are going to wait for the hasbro version, it may be cheaper, but may also at lower quality as we have seen before (or no paint).
Personally, I will have this one stay at bot mode and wait for a hasbro version for the gun mode/transformation...may be.
p.s. somehow this MP Meg looks better in your review than the others? Weird~~
if there is a Hasbro release...
"When your only tool is a hammer every job looks like a nail" Bobby Skullface for president 2018
lol
Ratchet A-stance impersonation best moment in a review ever. LOL Only missing a mic drop!
lol
the perfect masterpiece
its good
I enjoyed your look at MP-36. The paint chipping wasn't too bad but I think mines just going to stay in robot mode. Good idea to show the before and after. I like drunken Bobby too. #BobbyShitfaced
lol!!!
i ended up liking this more than i thought i would. The weight/complexity/design etc just work for me. Now i just need to see prime, starscream, sideswipe and soundwave remade to be like this lol
here we go lol ;)
hell just remake the whole line!
I couldn't help but wonder if those back panels could flip and mistransform in some way that could cover up the grand canyon on his back
good question but at this point id think we would have heard about it if they could
