Ya gotta respect balt, he's brutaly honest and a true toy reviewer, showing the goods but more importantly the issues affecting the figures to see if theyre worth it.
Alright, so that explains why you did DotM Megatron despite most people (including me) voted for Jetfire. Another thing that bothers me is the right side of the shotgun is hollow, but really digging the cloth being actual cloth and this DotM Megatron overall, so as always great review, Balt!
Very good video review. Love the look of this figure, and the transformation has some good ideas, but the execution is just a little too floppy for my taste. Would have preferred an upscaled and re-engineered Voyager DotM Megatron.
I wish there was a little chrome, maybe lightpiping? Oh! And maybe a *FULL* cab. It's like the trailer is just Megatton and the truck is like a drone of sorts.
Interesting how the front of the truck gets used as the legs for once. Now I want focused a figure where the trailer is the main piece and the truck is a weapon or something.
I would definitely give this figure an E for Effort. DotM Megatron was always going to be an engineering nightmare. Hopefully we'll get an MPM version of this character, but until this I think this one is definitely serviceable.
1996: TRUKK NOT MUNKY 2011: TANK NOT TRUKK EDIT: Guess I'll just stick to the old voyager. Until I change my mind, that is. This is not complete trash, but I prefer the predecessor's engineering. I also kinda like it's more streamlined, stylized proportion.
Found this figure in Target along with Jetfire yesterday, by the way the chest pieces do tab into the center sternum piece also the legs aren't oriented properly and you didn't tab in the gray part to the outer portion of the leg it gives it a more solid stance, also his gun can be held in the other hand just use the tab into one of the slots in the thumb, Jesus Christ man what did you do to your Revenge of the Fallen Megatron why are his legs backwards?
Yeah this reviewer is fucking awful. Holy shit, you mistransformed the RotF Megatron that bad? And he's the only negative review I've seen of DotM Megatron.
Well the head did heal around the eye socket in the movie, and that weapon is held that way in the movie. It’s some kind of two handed rifle. This looks good, but I prefer my Megatron to not have an Earth Mode other than a military vehicle. Those cubes for legs don’t look so pleasing through a screen though. I’m sure it’s better in hand.
The "Studio Series" tag kinda bothers me on this line... some of the figures counterparts become irrelevant, it's a double cash-grab with interest and honestly, the effort should have been there to begin with. They've been making bots long enough. That being said, I really like this version of Megatron. I think it looks badass and the wonky parts don't matter if you're just displaying like most ppl. Great look at the toy, thanks!
Designers back in 2007 to 2014 weren't as good as they are now. Different people, with new tricks, plus different size classes for more budget, in the case of Blackout and this Megatron.
@@notsoalex I mean yes thats very true overall but for these figures i dont see much that couldnt have been acheived back then. The misaligned parts here dont help the argument. Thats just me though. But in a broad sense you are correct.
@@danielgray2909 It's also worth mentioning that a lot of the previous figures were designed without finalized designs/renders available for them. A lot of them worked off early renders and concept art, so Studio Series has been an opportunity to redo some. Also there's the argument of trying to solidify a general scale, but that depends on how much you care about their screen accurate sizes (and honestly some still can't be since Grimlock and the Dinobots would probably need to be Titan class for that to be accurate).
@@notsoalex Yeah, and that's sometimes important to collectors. Just it also does cause issues with them doing the Dinobots, who are simply too large to accurate fit this scaling attempt.
Glad you didn't lose your patience with this guy like what you did with the first ever figure ever released on ss, i mean, this is a lot more fiddly, and has a lot more pieces that have a tendency to pop off than that ss bumblebee one.
When did they saw that sings that that was watching I see that actually Dragonball movie I just saw last night the action pack we're like Gina and Goku combined that was kind of cool the different kind of Vegeta and Goku so I forgot their names when they combine we can movie theaters and sleep so much a
Does the color look better in person because... It seems oddly shaded in the cab section. Plus, those legs are the biggest deterrent for me. DOTM Voyager is ok for my perposes. BUT I NEED THAT SIDESWIPE
That intro is a piece of art
1:02 That’s the new Studio Series Optimus Prime toy.
Lol yeah he switched them
Noah Juarez n

Megatron: what would you be without me prime.
Prime:time to find out .
Suddenly Megatron is number one on top10 transformers brutal deaths
Looks alright, just kinda hate how hollow the cab looks....

Ya gotta respect balt, he's brutaly honest and a true toy reviewer, showing the goods but more importantly the issues affecting the figures to see if theyre worth it.
IDK. I've never liked balts reviews. He always makes a lot of mistakes .
We still need a SS Nitro Zues with the Accurate Head And The Accurate JAS 39 Gripen Jet mode and more color added and the missiles need the Red tips
@@Genjunk84 yes!
Megatron: I have to be tabbed in 100% perfect!
Mpm optimus: hold my beer.
"An evil scourge"
*I was under the impression he was evil...*
As in Scourge from RiD01, the evil clone of Optimus.
@@A.MNeverP.M ya and Nemesis prime Optimus future self in the WFC Netflix trilogy
Hobo Megatron is the best description of this version of him
Yeah
Lmao yeah
Nah. I think of him more as "Mad Megs, Walker of the Wasteland". He don't need another hero.
AGREED! Yes, being a collector and having kids who also LOVE Trans-Formers is definitely hard!!!
Spare some change for the Decepticon empire?
Classic 😂
Now I can't stop imagining Megatron doing impressions of Chester E. Bum.😂😂😂
Will bring peace through tyranny for energon
12:58 Prideful Leader of the Decepticon
The decepticon is the best part of the studio series
The fusion sequence made me laugh. Definitely worth a thumbs up.
"Really need the rope gear" I immediately say "bondage gear" in my head...
Not the first time a character named Megatron has taken a near-identical form to his arch-nemesis.
I was watching a DBZ video before this XD
The two dislikes must have been Goten and Trunks for not sharing the toys XD
Intro is wilddddd 😂😂😂
0:53 That is old Studio Series Optimus Prime .
All hail Hobotron😂😂😂😆😆😆
Im glad i voted for this
That DBZ intro was AWESOME!!! Awesome video Mr. Balt!!!
I was surprised that takara made movie masterpiece megatron and jazz
the opening......lol.......Awesome.....
Alright, so that explains why you did DotM Megatron despite most people (including me) voted for Jetfire.

Also, world's most badass hobo.
Igor is Long Hauls Head

13:20~ Great thinking.
I would love to decapitate Megatron like how Optimus did in DoTM myself.
Ok that opening made me chuckle
Very good video review. Love the look of this figure, and the transformation has some good ideas, but the execution is just a little too floppy for my taste. Would have preferred an upscaled and re-engineered Voyager DotM Megatron.
Nice intro! XD
I don't get it
Dragon ball fusion reference
Just for that intro, I gave a thumbs up.
I wish there was a little chrome, maybe lightpiping? Oh! And maybe a *FULL* cab. It's like the trailer is just Megatton and the truck is like a drone of sorts.
Interesting how the front of the truck gets used as the legs for once. Now I want focused a figure where the trailer is the main piece and the truck is a weapon or something.
That would be neat
Looks like Hasbro released another project for Wei Jiang or Black Mamba to finish, lol.
I don't think anything could help this garbage.
I clicked off the music video I was watching when I saw the notification. Also I like the way the figure looks
agent gojira1954 what was the music?
@@RubenAssassinRose Godzilla vs mechagodzilla 2 gforce march
agent gojira1954 nice, i finished watching a music video for jacksepticeye before this one popped up
@@RubenAssassinRose cool
This is probably (in my opinion) the best bayformers Megatron
You gotta fix his legs. They're supposed to be bent like chicken legs.
8:55 Megatron; Make Us Whole!
During the intro megatrons legs were back words
I would definitely give this figure an E for Effort. DotM Megatron was always going to be an engineering nightmare. Hopefully we'll get an MPM version of this character, but until this I think this one is definitely serviceable.
I think he looks neat, but I think I’ll wait to see what 3rd Party Oversize makers will do to this sculpt first.
Yeah I was looking at my Black Mamba ROTF Megs thinking that. I expect they are all working on it.
1. Fusion lol
2. Daww mini Balt took big Balts figures! Best excuse ever 😂

Mini Balt future air pilot in the making
the leader of the Hobo-ticons!
“Crunchy looking.” 😂😂
Nice skit at the beginning. Not as good as Emgo316 but still good.
oh god i hate his opening skits with that black robot, to each their own though, world would be boring if we liked the same things
Loved the intro haha
Thanks for the review. I will save my money.
looks like DarkSide from the Twisted Metal games met it's match
0:10 Microphone commited dead
I love how the legs were the other way around in the beginning (did you forget it?)
Though some flaws on a figure I didn't necessarily want either, I have to say, it is pretty much a vast improvement over the original Voyager class.
I would be surprised if Balt is predicting a Retool of this into Scourge
Love the intro!!!
i like how you dont need to partsform unlike the original voyager megatron
Looks good. Might get this
I just wanna get this to get that Mad Max truck mode.
0:00 oh you've gotta be kidding me, i just clicked the video and this is what im already gonna see...
The word is "burlap" not burlack
M3TR01DFANBOY It’s weird. Earlier he said it correct
Probably combined "burlap sack" into one word by mistake.
Uhhh the Prime with dark color isn't new cause it released first before new one which is brighter.
yeah, he reversed lol but oh well they're pretty much the same so doesn't really matter
When a voyager mold is better than a leader class
Soon ill have that one.
Woah! Ok, i don't see this this video coming!
Glad you didn't lose your patience with this guy like what you did with the first ever figure ever released on ss, i mean, this is a lot more fiddly, and has a lot more pieces that have a tendency to pop off than that ss bumblebee one.
Is Studio Series Blackout review coming at some point? He's been a size comparison in a few videos, but nothing more than that.
0:01 it looks like megatron is dabing
i'll wait for them to make an upscaled KO version
There's quite a few missed opportunities for fine detail painting, and especially panel lines.
Hobotron's legs don't move past his buttflap...? DotM Megatron confirmed to be a Gundam!
Haha! Fusion!!. Nice intro...
He’s basically Motormaster
why does a cybertronian gun looks like a SPAS-12?
(Government Shutdown Megatron)
When did they saw that sings that that was watching I see that actually Dragonball movie I just saw last night the action pack we're like Gina and Goku combined that was kind of cool the different kind of Vegeta and Goku so I forgot their names when they combine we can movie theaters and sleep so much a
Lol. That's what happens when ya just give up on English.
Reading that was stressful
best comment ever
Maria Gutierrez i agree
*Brain cells have left the chat*
How would you feel if they made a post-apocalyptic transformers toyline?
I saw that beginning.
"Oh he's getting choked"
Me: don't kink shame him
The beginning.
Robo-Hobo with a Shotgun...
0:12 idk the "war rig" from mad Max fury road was a transformer
Awesome review as always, though I haven’t had any parts come off on my copy. Must be lucky 😂
Speaking of scourge , can we get a RID inspirted scourge for Siege or a laser prime
All Hail Scourge!!!
I like this megatron more than prime
Mass shifting leg's
Oh the humanity of you riping apart of Megatron lol I think it's best to keep in Mint condition in the box lol
Im just curious what it would be like if we had galavatron and megatron at the same time in a transformers series
This might sound like a dumb idea wlbut I'd love to see this reworked as a rid scourge.
Wei Jiang do your best!
Could someone help me to build Megatron from transformers two i need to build it to veichle mode
I think the original DotM Megs did the cloak better
Does the color look better in person because... It seems oddly shaded in the cab section. Plus, those legs are the biggest deterrent for me. DOTM Voyager is ok for my perposes. BUT I NEED THAT SIDESWIPE
EPPPPIIIIICCCC!!!!! IntrOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
love the vids keep it up
