It's this figure and naval commander that got me back into armada. They've made me want to rewatch it. Thanks for the awesome reviews, as they always lighten up my day!
FYI, on leader one, his fenders move separately from the wheel. To properly line them up push in on the fender only and they will slide over with a click. Absolutely love this figure and fanshobby has really impressed me with them. Also, they have teased prototypes of a Tidal Wave as well as jetfire and overload. Cant wait to have a armada mp collection.
Armada was my introduction to Transformers. So seeing both this and Navel Commander (Armada Optimus Prime) being undated (in 3rd party form) fills me with joy
Armada is what got me back into transformers I know it wasn't a great transformers but I thought it was fun enough and I have a bunch of the toys I will say though fans toys did a good job Checks all of the marks for an Armada Megatron and the fact it has actual mini-con ports is a nice little touch. Lastly I have been rewatching Armada on Tubi TV and I still like it
The only version of Megs where the underarm cannon wasn't just a one time thing in the cartoon. I'm surprised they don't give him an underarm cannon anymore, yes the arm cannon is iconic and already really over compensating but that doesn't mean they can't bring it back? Yes, G1 Megatron did use his back barrel like his toy in the cartoon, it was in part 3 of the pilot.
This iteration of Megs, especially with the horns in robot mode, makes him look like a beetle of some kind, maybe a tiger beetle. Those horns are like pincers of a beetle.
It was an ongoing thing with UT to have characters resemble others, this megatron was like a cross between his bw counterpart+scorponok+bludgeon while in energon he looked like something in between galvatron and thunderwing, cybertron straight up looked like banzaitron
The fact that they made an Armada Prime and Megatron makes me hopeful that they will make Hot Shot and Starscream. They were my favorite characters as a kid. Also wouldn't mind if they made the entire starting Transformers cast from when the show started. Not sure if they would go so far as to make the entire Armada cast, maybe the Armada combiner mini-con teams?
I was about to mention if this means Fans Hobby will give us an Armada Tidal Wave to combine with this, but you already mentioned that in the video. LOL!
It’ll take me a while to find the photos I snagged but there working on a tidal wave and overload figures. They put out sneak peaks and test figures a few months back.
I think my favorite aspect of these figures is the designers threw in WFC Trilogy Micromaster ports on top of the standard Minicon ones (which they've demonstrated in videos) so these figures can hold ALL THE SMALL BOYS and act as bridges for literally two entire trilogies of play patterns. That is so awesome to me.
Such a cruel joke to take the leader of the Guardians (the good guys from Go-Bots) and not only make him the pawn of Megatron, but also take away his wings. 🤣🤣
After the comparison of the two leader ones. I just noticed that Cybertron Metroplexes mini con is a heavy remold of Armada leader 1. And it only took me until I was 22
Armada Megs was, and still is, the incarnation of the Lord of Death and Murdering! Is the most menacing looking Megatron of the entire story of Transformers! I love it!
I really appreciate figures whose light up eyes work with painted eyes to avoid the dead eye look when turned off. So far I know of this one, FT Omega Supreme and FT Fort Max.
I didn't love the Armada designs for most characters, but it delights me to see them made so well. I note that they're also doing a version of Energon Prime, and presumably an Energon Megatron to go with it, and I hope they get to a Cybertron Prime at a time when I can afford it, because it's by far my favorite Optimus Prime design.
@@robertdelgadocapetillo8684 Actually it's in a month. I just figured it order it early so they're not out of stock when the date rolls around. It's happened before. XD
This looks awesome I just wish it came with some of the mini cons in the way they looked in their green tablet form w the mini con emblem when they crashed onto earth like in the show
This has me excited for Galvatron as that purple color scheme he waa rocking was just perfect. My definite must gets are Jetfire to combine with Optimus, Galvatron, Starscream and I'm praying for a Sideways.
fun fact for anyone who doesn't know this but the minicon drill bit for Cybertron Metroplex is a remold from Megatron's minicon in transformers Armada Leader-1
While I am so desperately waiting for the anniversary Armada Optimus I am gonna get both of these guys and any other Armada figure they make. These two looks so glorious that having them is a must for me especially since Armada was my introduction to the world of transformers. And they are supposedly working on both a tidal wave and jetfire
I've been debating on this and Navel Commander for a good while. I think after this review, my decision is made ha ha. I love the Armada versions and have Tidal Wave plus Jetfire and Rollout. I hope Fan Toys makes those as well.
I heard somewhere(I don't remember where exactly) that they are in fact working on an armada tidalwave but also an armada Jetfire(I dont know if they're gonna make an overload)
I love the Armada line. That was my introduction to Transformers. Im so glad some of them are being redone. My biggest complaint though, is that every toy had to have a gimmick of some sort. Most of the time the gimmick was kinda stupid, and it usually made the robot form suffer. Scavengers possibly the worst. Great character. Toy looks good, I have it, but he has no actual possible legs.
Ultra Magnus isn't going to like this version of American song not just because he's a evil Tyrant but because someone has more shoulder than Magnus Magnus doesn't like it when someone else has more shoulder than the magnets himself

THANK YOU, had no idea what I was doing wrong
Yes! I had to figure this out on my own as well. I struggled for a whole day with that little s***! Lol
26:46 They're already working on an Armada Tidal Wave. The prototype was revealed earlier this year.
You're right!!
I feel so damn nostalgic
Good god think of the size of him o.0
Armada was my introduction to Transformers. So seeing both this and Navel Commander (Armada Optimus Prime) being undated (in 3rd party form) fills me with joy
Armada Megatron was always my favorite design of the character.
There's just so much play value with this toy. I love all the little things he can do while in tank mode.
I love the back and forth between Megs and Wave! Even before "Dude, Where's My Couch".
Armada is what got me back into transformers I know it wasn't a great transformers but I thought it was fun enough and I have a bunch of the toys
I will say though fans toys did a good job Checks all of the marks for an Armada Megatron and the fact it has actual mini-con ports is a nice little touch.
Lastly I have been rewatching Armada on Tubi TV and I still like it
I just started rewatching Armada on there too! I first watched it when I was younger but don’t remember much now, I’m enjoying it a lot though.
Not really my favorite design for Megatron, but it seems to be a nice figure and I'm glad that Armada is getting toys.
At least its better than the monstrosity that is rid megatron

Yes, G1 Megatron did use his back barrel like his toy in the cartoon, it was in part 3 of the pilot.
It was also used in the episode "Heavy Metal War" when Optimus fought Megatron in gladiator-style combat.
19:46 He probably had this expression on his face when he said " Now where could my comrade Sideway be....? Come out where ever you are...."
Shockwaves reaction was priceless. I laughed really hard on this one.
This makes me way more happy than it should I physically gasped when I saw the thumbnail
Hi Emgo, there is an Armada Tidalwave in the works by Fans Hobby
This iteration of Megs, especially with the horns in robot mode, makes him look like a beetle of some kind, maybe a tiger beetle. Those horns are like pincers of a beetle.
lampshaded in Micron Legend I believe where Thrust makes a backhanded comment about him looking like some form of beetle... wanna say Stag
It makes him a big, bad, beetleborg
It was an ongoing thing with UT to have characters resemble others, this megatron was like a cross between his bw counterpart+scorponok+bludgeon while in energon he looked like something in between galvatron and thunderwing, cybertron straight up looked like banzaitron
@@DESTRAKON in Super Link he was called Galvatron
a Stag Beetle

I was originally on the fence about this one and decided to get this after your review. The play features and cannon lights rock.
It’ll take me a while to find the photos I snagged but there working on a tidal wave and overload figures. They put out sneak peaks and test figures a few months back.
Man this brings back memories of watching armada, hope we get a hot shot was one of my favourite figures when I was a kid

It only took 20 something years to give Armada Megatron knee joints...I'm stoked to get one of these!!
I greatly and gratefully appreciate your introductions

I need this in my life!!! I can display him with the OG one I had as a child!

I actually have an Armada Megatron just like this. This is the first time in years, that you review a figure I have
crazy i was laterally just checking out this figure looking for a good review. Great timing!
Just ordered one of these for myself as a birthday present!
Happy Birthday.... whenever it was.😐

Transformers
Just got my fans hobby Armada Megatron this month and he's truly amazing really loving him
This looks awesome I just wish it came with some of the mini cons in the way they looked in their green tablet form w the mini con emblem when they crashed onto earth like in the show
I really wish Fans Hobby would one day make an Energon Megs...
Maybe they will since they are making an energon optimus
he's amazing I love Armada Megatron he constantly slapped Optimus up lol
This has me excited for Galvatron as that purple color scheme he waa rocking was just perfect. My definite must gets are Jetfire to combine with Optimus, Galvatron, Starscream and I'm praying for a Sideways.
“Over compensating for something.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think the painted eyes are just an extra clear set that they painted over. That's why it still works
Yeah
fun fact for anyone who doesn't know this but the minicon drill bit for Cybertron Metroplex is a remold from Megatron's minicon in transformers Armada Leader-1
Pretty sure those decals on the inside are there because they are part of the base mode garage at the back.
Obviously
I like how the Minicon ports are the same size as the original figures.
I don't remember the turret being able to be in the front lol. I need to pull my armada figure out and see it lol.
2:48 THANK GOD 🙏 ! MOVING TREADS ! ALLELUIA ! 🎉
I'd love them to have a go at Armada Jetfire with Cometor and Over-load with Roll out. They would be so impressive with combining with Optimus.
If they do that. They gotta add tidal wave for Megatron. But then again how would he work in terms of transforming?
Hey emgo on studio series soundwave (space mode) the ball jointed things on his torso fit into his hands, and they make great weapons.
"Because it's Precious!!! Oh so Precious!!!"
While I am so desperately waiting for the anniversary Armada Optimus I am gonna get both of these guys and any other Armada figure they make. These two looks so glorious that having them is a must for me especially since Armada was my introduction to the world of transformers. And they are supposedly working on both a tidal wave and jetfire
I pre-ordered the galvatron version. Can't wait. I'll probably do the same as you and after messing with him put him back in the box.
Easily the best representation of Armada Megatron until now! Wow just wow. I can hear David Kay’s iconic voice when I look at it.
Fans Hobby Tidal Wave next, perhaps?
Fanshobby really did their thing with this figure! 💪🏾💯💯💯
You're not the only one with that long arm shoulder on Leader-1. Same with mine except with the left.
Not sure if anyone told Emgo, bit Tidal Wave is apparently happening.
It would be cool if they made an Armada Starscream
I've been debating on this and Navel Commander for a good while. I think after this review, my decision is made ha ha. I love the Armada versions and have Tidal Wave plus Jetfire and Rollout. I hope Fan Toys makes those as well.
And now, we need a Tidal Wave figure that can combine with this figure!
to me, the best megatron design ever
Tidal wave and overload are currently in works..
I never was a big fan of this particular incarnation of Megatron, but the voice was cool
Just got him yesterday. I love it. Looks great next to Naval Commander.
Can we please get more mascot reviews?
It is amazing i love armada and i Love this and navel commander can't wait for more armada!
I can't wait until Fans Hobby releases their Tidal Wave.
I adore this figure. I really hope fans hobby does a galvatron repaint.
They're already working on a Powerlinx Optimus Prime repaint so I'm positive they'll do Galvatron next. Probably next year even.
@@ChaoticDarkness1 I am stoked for that!
I heard somewhere(I don't remember where exactly) that they are in fact working on an armada tidalwave but also an armada Jetfire(I dont know if they're gonna make an overload)
think i seen an overload and tidal wave on tfnews
both megatrons being side by side look like big and little brother
The coolest Armada Megatron I've ever seen😍expecting for Tidalwave
The only part missing is fans hobby tidal wave that powerlinks
Finally we get an Armada precious :3
I bet they'll repaint this mould for Galvatron.
I was looking into it a few weeks ago and I think I found prototypes for tidal wave
Lol I think that's the frist time I have seen megatron faint on camera
One figure I'd love to see a masterpiece/3rd party figure of is Transformers Prime Shockwave...
I love the Armada line. That was my introduction to Transformers. Im so glad some of them are being redone. My biggest complaint though, is that every toy had to have a gimmick of some sort. Most of the time the gimmick was kinda stupid, and it usually made the robot form suffer. Scavengers possibly the worst. Great character. Toy looks good, I have it, but he has no actual possible legs.
I never liked the look of Armada Megatron (in either mode) but, the transformation for this Fans Hobby model does look enjoyable.
I wonder if they’ll do a galvatron repaint
This is so amazing
Why is this version of Megatron having a weird super high tank tread shoulder piece? Making the entire figure unstable?
Ultra Magnus isn't going to like this version of American song not just because he's a evil Tyrant but because someone has more shoulder than Magnus Magnus doesn't like it when someone else has more shoulder than the magnets himself
Emgo you should review more transformers from the Unicron Trilogy
Mejor tarde que nunca artista toma like 😎👍
They do a tidal wave and I'm in. For a tank this is an awesome one.
They're already working on one. The prototype was revealed earlier this year.
The cannon can do "Squirrel!"
wonder if they'll repaint this into galvatron for season 3 of armada
Emgo there will be a Tidal Wave expected release date is late 2022 early 2023
Yes, Megatron, you do look good, no wait, you look terrifying, as you should be!
Is it because the horns of his robot mode resembles pincers of a (tiger) beetle?
Who knows? Maybe they'll give us a massive version of Tidal Wave for the tank turret in the front of Armada Megs.
God let’s hope that they make a Tidal Wave.
Hope tidal wave gets made soon.
hey emgo have you seen that fans hobby is making a energon optimus prime?
well would ya look at that, the vehicle mode can do the SQUIRREL thing.
Just ordered galvatyranno after watching this, love his paintjob but would've preferred megs
If they’re slick they can make a tfa shockwave or idw fortmax out of this
God it's been forever sence I last saw one of your videos I was 14 when I last saw you
He has Arrived
Apparently theyre already working on an overload, jetfire and tidal wave. And theres also an energon prime coming. Would you be getting any of those?
He looks more like Megaholmes.😂 John Holmes Robotic Brother.🦴🦿👀 😂😂
@emgo316 where do you get your factions stickers? I noticed the one on super mode Optimus and megs is gonna need some when mine arrives.
toyhax
@@emgo316 thanks!
Leader 1 makes me laugh cause hasbro bought out the go bots.
