A lot do, they just tend to all look like the g1 box art. One fun example is Newage legends barricade that styled the box art after the 2007 bayverse toy line.
I like that while every other Third Party Company seems to be trying to one up at least one other company with early G1 designs (choices are good) FansHobby is just doing their own thing with Masterforce and Unicron Trilogy stuff. Like even G1 is more than 3 or 4 years worth of stuff, there is plenty to go around guys. Great review!
I love this Megatron design. Really glad that you got your hands on him. The mail slow speed is killing me. Figure looks solid and the transformation is not crazy.
Hopefully megatron joints are strong enough to get some posing in combo mode. The original toy combination looked cool but tidalwave arm ships were to heavy
@@awesomeguy9513 It wasn't that the arm pieces were too heavy. Mine manages to lift them just fine. However the back peace makes the shoulders so they can't move while combined. He loses all his articulation, which he barly had in the first place, because Tidal Wave adds so much extra bulk that the few joints he has have no where to go. His tank turret also moves to the front in combined mode which also doesn't help with his limited articulation. The combined mode only has one pose it can do because every joint on the figure is essentially locked in place turning them into a statue. Prime at least has arms in combined mode.
What I enjoyed so much about the Unicron trilogy is how they felt no need to just be a gen-1 rehash like everything else these days. And how beautifully garish this version of Megatron looked, with that tank cannon paying homage to his gen 1 cannon without being exactly that. So good.
Honestly, what I appreciate about this is the understanding of what the original toy was going for. Megatron's tank mode wasn't really a tank so much as a playset shaped like a tank, and this toy really gets that. Once you have it all folded out, it's more of a base mode than anything.
If I can go back in time where the idea of a Transformer toy is still on the process of being invented, I would work as one of its creators and make Megatron as a battle tank transforming-robot. Not a robot that shrinks like Ant-Man and turn into a handgun.
My copy is supposed to be delivered today. I remember watching the armada series when it was live on TV. This is such a nostalgia trip. We need more third party companies making these figures
To me, Armada was awesome. Loved the fact the Armada voice actors for Prime and Megatron were Gary Chalk and David Kaye, it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one, as I'd been watching Beast Wars religiously back then 😁😊
Thoroughly enjoyed this review and yes, Armada Megatron was my first Megatron too outside of Beast Wars. Only real gripe I have is that in the animation his left hand was a claw and has his hands don't fold in or need much room for tank-mode storage that was entirely possible. Psyched to get this figure, just hope it gets out of China before CNY starts.
Very cool looking figure! I hope they do a repaint as well. It reminded me I actually own and have on display (my collections are a bit bonkers lol) the full purple one (Galvatron version?) and the full purple Tidal Wave (Shock/Seawave version?) of these guys that of course can combine, so cheers for the reminder too! LOL
a masterpiece quality armada megatron, with WAY better articulation than the original, COMPLETE with independently articulated fingers so you can do what most people have done with their armada unicron figures, and pose him like he's flipping you off, oh, if only i could afford it
while I hated armada overall, the one aspect I really liked were the decepticon toys. I felt they were awesome and fun. as such, I am super looking forward to this guy
Many of the toys were awful (Grapple/Smokescreen, Lazerbeak, Hotshot, Optimus Prime, Cyclonus etc) but some weren't bad (Unicron, Megatron, etc). I hope this line gives us the interesting designs with better engineering; basically what Armada should have been!
@@muisverriet Thanks dude. There was also a Botcon vesion that never got released also. it was on the transformers toy wiki or whatever. I'm down for them all :)
Please don't do Shorts. I bloody hate them. From what I've read they're deeply unpopular. You might as well open a Tiktok channel. For me, they look awful on my TV. I wish there was a way to block them for those that hate them.
@@primalconvoy I will say the shorts are different. Perhaps Ben can do a video on the updated lighting feature that can be short but long enough to present its lighting effects. If there is a YT Short, it might be an attention grabber in a positive way telling all video is on its way in a Benscollectables fashion. ✌🏼
What they should do with mega Tron is yes the Armada sequence were he fell into Unicron but primus retrieves his spark and reincarnate him into mega star saber and primus revils what he did in the past and show's what Star screem did witch was heroic and tells mega that you have a second chance to prove yourself to be an atobot don't waist it as you did wen you were Megatron
I have the Prime and 100% want Jetfire and Overload. Still unsure about getting this Megs. I still have my original Galvatron repaint. I remember buying my 1st Armada toys post RID and being terribly disappointed. Hot Shot was my 1st figure and the entire rear axel flew off mine when I activated the missle gimmick. The lack of articulation on a bunch of these always made me scratch my head. The concept for this line was there but poorly executed. These Fans Hobby versions are what I wanted all those years ago. Armada is not that high on my list of favorite Transformers series but I love some of these designs so I'm glad they are getting their due.
I have a shelf for Megatron and Prime versions and this Megatron would look great there but I don't like the Armada Prime and I'm not whiling to pay around $200 for a TF action figure I don't like all that much. Thanks for the review Ben.
I want this but something about the face sculpt seems a bit off to me. Could just be on camera thing but the prime looks perfect. However my dream after seeing armadas designs getting theses amazing redos is armada jet fire. One of my fav characters and designs from the show. A shame the original toy was kind of flimsy but this is the perfect time to make my dream come true.
Armada and energon are my favorite transformers series I really hope that we can get masterpiece figures of all those really awesome designs my favorite character out of all of that was scorponok from energon but this version of Megatron is still my favorite version of him I really hope the energon designs get masterpiece figures by third parties or otherwise at some point energon starscream was my favorite design of him although Armada did starscream Justice story-wise energon star screams design was just cooler in my opinion I liked the idea of them all being able to power link in energon it was just really cool I hope we get masterpiece figures of them someday
Sure sounded like the waist ratchet broke 12:30 during transformation from tank to bot. Seems like you intentionally didn't demo waist swivel very much during articulation demo. Can you confirm please?
Is this a pre-production copy or final release? 12:30 started with very pronounced heavy clicks and then one last harsh click then nothing as you bring the waist around. Would really like to see an update showing the waist swivel again. Wondering why they put a ratchet there anyway.
Sounded worse that it was as it was recorded on the camera mic so it picks up all the echo in the room instead of the usual mic that had become unplugged
No point commenting. Just asking even though ill get ghosted. was a fan of this growing up a little schoolgirl ordered this and Naval commander optimus . any idea on ship time? I'm kind of moving next month
Oh ok, well it doesn’t really bother me, like I said hadn’t noticed anything wrong , I could probably pop a pin flip it around and switch the Legs around
@@Benscollectables I just mean that you sound very out of it, I didn’t know if something was wrong. You normally sound much happier and expressive especially white a figure this good. I watch all your reviews so hearing this one just sounded very odd
I'm not a fan of the screen transitions. They are a bit jarring. I couldn't see the 4 Minicons on the screen near the start of the video. Could you use a different way please? I think this figure could have: - A way to shorten the barrel in bot mode. - A "Black Megatron" or cartoon recolour.
No one literally no one is telling you how to out the lr44 batteries in the back. This has been a complete waste of time. My instruction booklet is in storage. I'm super annoyed.
honestly i really am annoyed with these figures i hate they are trying to get that masterpiece vibe it just doesnt feel right with armada wish they had the leaned more into the amrada look
So you want them to be bad figures? Lol the armada designs are over a decade old. All they did was update the articulation and quality honestly. Looks straight out of the cartoon. What did you want them to do just curious?
@@PSYCHOWORLD It really doesn't look straight out of the cartoon go look at the original designs from the cartoon this figure is stylized to fit in with masterpiece the articulation and features are not the issue is the overall style of the figure hell one thing I would take away /change is remove the waist armor and bring the hips.up a bit with perhaps bigger thighs they didn't even get the colors right I just want something that looks like it hop right off the screen and this aight it
@@pixelman6193 Could you add some punctuation to your posts please? My brain is out of breath using my inner monologue to read that solid wall of text you just typed there...
@@pixelman6193 interesting well it’s all subjective and I prefer my figures to look premium not like an old dated cartoon. I find the best choice is a mix of a premium realism mixed with a toon inspired design. Fans toys is the best at this. To each their own though
@@primalconvoy that's how I type it's how I think sorry others can't understand and to me that makes complete sense and I don't even see a place for punctuation
Not a fan of the scene/screen transitions in this video. They are too fast/jarring and in some instances, I couldn't see stuff (like your 4 different Minicons standing next to each other). Please go back to your regular way of doing videos.
Energon/Superlink is unwatchable garbage. Armada, or more precisely, it's Japanese version: Transformers Micron Legend, is an incredible watch. and so is Transformers Galaxy Force (Dubbed into Cybertron), but Galaxy Force acts more like a Braves show than a traditional Transformers series, so it may not be exactly to the traditional TF Fan's taste.
For the show scale it's actually spot on, although for the original toys Megatron was even smaller compared to Armada Prime since NC is the same height in combined mode.
I wish fanshobby pulled their finger out their ass and made their armada designs more fathful to the show. Their extra details hurt the designs. The face on this megatron looks bad..... the Prime super mode looks off. They could have easily just made masteroiece versions of those characters and got my money. But so far I hate both their figures and its because of them tryibg to change the designs for the worse instead of better.
Fans Hobby is known for their stylizations. They've been doing this for ages, not just with their Armada figures. Personally i love it as it makes the figures look more unique instead of just being a better version of the originals.
@@muisverriet i know but with scourge they kept what made him look like his animation counterpart with slight details. So he looked amazing. These dont have the character ib their designs or faces esepcially.
@@muisverriet but not compared to the animation.... its very "animation" accurate(since he has to look like scourge in RID) with little stylized pieces that add to the character instead of taking away from it. Their armada optimus looks like shit. Hasbros teased armada optimus looks 10x better. Their super mode is proportionally wrong and off. Thata the onky reason O didnt get it. They are my most loved versions of the characters. Ive wanted masterpiece versions of them for 2 decades. I would have bought something remotely good. These however dont display the characters and are therefore useless as a purchase to me. Their g2 optimus and scourge are updated versions that look like the characters 100%. Their armada optimus and megatron however.... are ass
That box is the most perfect thing! I wish more TP toys tried to emulate the look of the original boxes!
I know right !!!
A lot do, they just tend to all look like the g1 box art. One fun example is Newage legends barricade that styled the box art after the 2007 bayverse toy line.
I think some of the legends scaled 3P figures sometimes came in "Diaclone" styled boxes, right?
I like that while every other Third Party Company seems to be trying to one up at least one other company with early G1 designs (choices are good) FansHobby is just doing their own thing with Masterforce and Unicron Trilogy stuff. Like even G1 is more than 3 or 4 years worth of stuff, there is plenty to go around guys. Great review!
I love this Megatron design. Really glad that you got your hands on him. The mail slow speed is killing me. Figure looks solid and the transformation is not crazy.
Bei lucky,he isn't even released in Europe 😥
I can imagine how Fans Hobby can make Tidal Wave so that he’ll combine with Megatron! It’ll be fantastic!!!😃👍🏼
Going to be amazing
lets not forget a jetfire and over load to go with prime
Hopefully megatron joints are strong enough to get some posing in combo mode. The original toy combination looked cool but tidalwave arm ships were to heavy
Omg yes.
Honestly I'd love masterpiece versions of all the main cast of autobots and decepticons from armada
@@awesomeguy9513 It wasn't that the arm pieces were too heavy. Mine manages to lift them just fine. However the back peace makes the shoulders so they can't move while combined.

Creators: "So, how much Gimmicks you want to install to Armada Megatron?"
Designers: "YES."
If I can go back in time where the idea of a Transformer toy is still on the process of being invented, I would work as one of its creators and make Megatron as a battle tank transforming-robot. Not a robot that shrinks like Ant-Man and turn into a handgun.
Agreed, just bcuz thats the original version, doesnt mean thats how it supposed to be. Never liked it
@@aimanhaqeem1362 At least Hasbro finally settled on making G1 Megatron a tank.
My copy is supposed to be delivered today. I remember watching the armada series when it was live on TV. This is such a nostalgia trip. We need more third party companies making these figures
so excited for mine to arrive, eventually XD
I grew up with the Unicron Trilogy and it’s still great and so does the Beast Saga!
Agreed :)
I cannot wait to get my hands on this! Been waiting forever for this thing to release.
i've been waiting an *eternity* for this
I've got this preordered. What I would buy, without a second of hesitation, is a Megazarak repaint.
To me, Armada was awesome. Loved the fact the Armada voice actors for Prime and Megatron were Gary Chalk and David Kaye, it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one, as I'd been watching Beast Wars religiously back then 😁😊
My personal favorite was Paul Dobson as Sideways just straight-up using his Naraku voice
Now this will fit in nicely with my chonky Decepticon tanks collections, consisting of G2 Megs, Armada Megs, Movie 1 leader class Brawl.
I loved Armada Megs, so seeing this brought me back
I can’t wait to get this , it’ll also be the 20th Anniversary of when I got the original toy for my 12th birthday 🥳
Childhood memories revisited!! Love this figure of Armada Megatron. Too bad I can't afford him. Nice review BTW, Ben. 😉😉
I’m excited. Mine is on route. Hopefully this avoids some of the QC issues of naval commander.
Fingers crossed

That looks fantastic
Thanks Ben I can’t for him to arrive.
If this is what they've done for Optimus and Megatron I might well get Tidal Wave, though preferably in his purple colour scheme from the series.
I need this, but in Armada Galvatron colors.
Cannot wait for mine to come

Ha ha yes !!! Completely
Wonderful review as always...great figure!!!
I would love for Fans Hobby to release an MP style Energon Scorponok, I would be all down for that.
I'm glade it's a simple transformation. A masterpiece dose not need to be so difficult
Probably the benefit of Armada/UT toys over almost every other line. Their animation models were based directly off every simply toys.
@@grand_max66 It's also something Fans Hobby is good at. They don't try to overcomplicate the transformations.
I cant wait for fans hobby's take on tidal wave.
i suppose the front treads don't lock in with the hinges anywhere. signed, thomas
Wow nice!!
I would love to have a new Tidal Wave to go with me originally I have. Been on the fence with Megs but after seeing this I got to have it now.
while I hated armada overall, the one aspect I really liked were the decepticon toys. I felt they were awesome and fun. as such, I am super looking forward to this guy

These guys will give us everything. I hope they get back to doing the G2 Megatron also. What else was this mold used for?
galvatron my friend and some other repaint, I think zarak or something like that...
Galvatron, Black Megatron and Megazarak
@@muisverriet Thanks dude. There was also a Botcon vesion that never got released also. it was on the transformers toy wiki or whatever. I'm down for them all :)
They have to do tidal wave now, cant wait.
this toy is so amazing it makes me want to get their armada optimus as an accessory 😂
I really hope they make an Air Defense mini con team, he needs a star-saber!
Damn. hope Tidal Wave would be made as well. he would be one big Titan
sooo I'm kinda waiting on the reapints, because that final battle is so iconic.
This tank mode reminds me of the different UNSC tanks from halo.
In this vid you mention combining armada megs with g2 dreadwind do you have a link to that video? I cant find it :(
God this Figure is Amazing looking👀
Great Review man! Gonna snack one when i can!^^
Hope that they do an Armada Starscream as well
Let's hope more Armada figures like Tidal wave, Armada Jetfire,Armada Overload,etc.
100%
Fans Hobby confirmed Tidelwave and Overload.
Awesome review Ben! Easy transformation. Perhaps a RUclips short with the light update, if possible. 👍

For the treads on the shoulders how do i get them to come out again? I dont want to force anything.
