It is a massive sin that they took this long to release a normal, no nonsense, consumer priced Megatron figure from what most people generally agree is the one Bay movie that wasn't that bad. Hasbro in 07 was obsessed with putting gimmicks in these figures. The voyager had stupid ice wings, and the leader class was expensive, and painted blue for some reason (unless you got the premium version). We did get that MP version first, which I love. And now finally a normal, main-line figure of this design. It's about damn time.
Emgo, I hope you see this. I’ve had this toy for almost a year. Heck, I’ve had several Studio Series figures for a long time now, yet I keep coming back to your reviews of them even when I technically don’t need to. Why? Because you make it so fun. You’ve inspired me to collect figures and I don’t think I would have had as much fun if I didn’t encounter your videos, so... thank you. Be a geek! Be proud!!!
There's a screw that holds the whole chest together, so I think a 3rd Party company will create a replacement chest piece that you'll just have to unscrew/pop off the arms/head and reattach them to the new more screen accurate chest piece.
I'm not a fan of the movie aesthetic but I love The look of this guy. The way the tail fin becomes the inside leg is genius, ditto for the nose cone collapse. Some really neat engineering's tricks on display here. Deffo one to get.
Some things I'm surprised about with this figure: 1.) The spike things on his wings were probably removed for transformation purposes/maybe being too fragile to add for how the wings fold in. I think the wings look better without them, to be honest. 2.) Surprised you can't clap his hands together to make his arms form the cannon like the one he fired at Prime in the city fight. Or as an attachment possibly. 3.) His flail should've been rubber on the "chain" part, at least. Or make it actual links, like a real chain. All in all, it's a great figure from what I've seen. Hoping I can pick one up soon.
Too be fair they'll probably make an upgrade kit that gives you two possible hands, the arm canon exc what the should make also os a Mace that can bend to whatever position you desire It definitely would make MEGA-HYBRID more complete.
I just purchased this figure today. I am so amazed of the detail I don’t feel like opening the box for now. I have quite a few movie series figures and in my opinion this is the best one by far.

Thanks for your reviews 🙌 hands down the best Transformers reviewer. The biggest reason I watch your reviews are your size comparisons! You always pull out the perfect figures to compare! Thanks so much for your videos!
I think that had to do with the fact all existing material of Movie 1 Megs was a prototype and the head especially so so they seemed to have used the lower half of the CGI model while slapping on his ROTF head.
The RoTF design was always my favorite of the first 3 movies, TLF for the last 2. But the paint, the symmetry, the silhouette... I might get this over SS-13, which this is how I wish it was painted in the first place. Wish it had its Fusion canon tho.
My dad got me this one last Christmas. It’s sick. I finally got a real alien jet Megatron that transformed. I had the kid friendly version which was (Fast Action Battlers: Megatron (Fusion Blast). I was 5 when I got it and now I’m about to be 23 lmao
I’m sold on this one. Great look, great articulation, pretty cool accessory although I wish it was possible instead of an erect flail. And great transformation. Found one for less than 20 bucks so I might pull the trigger although I do want to spend less money on figures but I might still get this one. Very informative review Emgo! Probably the best reviewer on RUclips who gives every detail in such an amazing way! Keep doing what your doing brah!
And to think this would be sold as a $60 leader class this time around!.... he looks absolutely fantastic and I regret with my whole damn heart not picking this guy up when I had the chance in hand,. Never saw him again after that
I like the figure but I feel like the nosecone of the jet could have become the fusion cannon instead of looking a little weird on the shoulder area. I can already see an upgrade kit consisting on a new, poseable mace, a new chest, and a fusion cannon and maybe even new claws that can move idk.
Am I the only one bothered that the backdrop he comes with isn't the Hoover Dam interior, instead of that constantly overused "Mission Battle" backdrop? I'm just saying, that likely would've been perfect for this particular version of Megatron, given he was frozen in there. Despite that, this figure looks simply perfect! And I look forward to getting it for the collection one day. :)
Someone may have said this already and I know it’s pretty late but I recommend holding the mace in front of a hair dryer for a while and the heat will make it easy to bend the plastic then you can get it in some good posses
Well, all the is left is Bumblebee, Hot Rod, and Arcee and her sister. Doing the Decepticons first is always the best, since we love the villains more then the heroes. Well, I can't wait to get all eight figure in this wave. While Jeep Bumblebee, Jet Shatter, and Roadbuster all look great too. I hope we get both Scapper and Overload toys reveal soon.
It’s funny how the actual cgi render on the box is just the ROTF head slapped on the first movie body. I’ve seen the real pictures of both so many times as a kid It stuck out like a sore thumb
I just finished paying off and picking up my SS 44 Optimus and found this Megatron while browsing another shop and couldn’t resist. Love them both a lot. Kinda find it a bit weird how the head is bigger than SS 13? I was originally pushed away due to bulky legs but in person they really aren’t that bad. Definitely one of my favourite figures
I saw a pic of the alt mode online and wasn’t too keen since I already owned the Wei Jiang Shake Sky Wing (Upscaled MPM-08 Megatron) but then I watch this review and rethought my whole life
If you want to add a custom cannon attachment, if you have the Cybertron Megatron, I took his green gun, took a g.i. Joe knife, dremelled it down to fit in the groove on his right hand. If I can find the other gun, I plan on adding another custom cannon for his left arm. For now, I only have 1 custom cannon to go in either hand.
When I first saw Megs in the very first movie, I thought his flail is broken off from the rest of his arm. I mean, he transforms his hand into the flail if I recall.
I love how the box art is 2007 Megatron’s body with ROTF Megatron’s head hastily photoshopped on
I’m glad I wasn’t the only who noticed that lol
I knew something looked off
Surprised Emgo didn't point it out lmao
@Cyclonus Primus EmGo didn't care
I only went looking through the comments just to see if anyone noticed it.

Hello sonic
The problem is those chunky feet and his chest being the same as RotF Meggy's toy.

As a Movie Megatron fan, owning every previous toy of Movie Megs... this one looks like one of the best. I can't wait to get it!
Same.
You can buy a really good toy called mpm 8 megatron I have it and its really cool he did a review on it
Edit: i have this one now and i love it too
Honestly watching the reviews I'm still really happy with the studio series version.
I wish DNA design could give this megatron a new mace, and new arms where they can form the fusion cannon and his pistol as an extra accessory.

Hehehe ikr
Megatron‘s face looks like he is about to sneeze.
True
yo man what up
God and gas prices. :) hello J4
😂 can they sneeze?
Ace 257 we hear Ironhide say he smells them
I wish he came with his cannon instead of the mace, but he looks great
I'm pretty sure a third-party company like perfect effect will have that covered soon
Joseph Lytle ye but thats the issue, i wish we could get that all from the start without having to buy from a 3rd party
His cannon involved him combining both his arms. He would’ve been a leader class if they made that gimmick
I was able to stick AOE Optimus’ gun into his hand between his fingers
There's a screw that holds the whole chest together, so I think a 3rd Party company will create a replacement chest piece that you'll just have to unscrew/pop off the arms/head and reattach them to the new more screen accurate chest piece.
Good idea
DNA designs should do it, and give him his two-arm canon and a small frenzy, to boot
@@teamtrpt8216 That'll be perfect because DNA designs did the upgrades to both SS-13 RotF Megatron and SS-31 Battle Damaged RotF Megatron!!

the lack of visibility of his forehead in jet mode bothers me a lot.
@Astrobot 4028 it sill looks amazing
On the CGI Model of Megatron's headskull is basically the Revenge of the Fallen.
I think that had to do with the fact all existing material of Movie 1 Megs was a prototype and the head especially so so they seemed to have used the lower half of the CGI model while slapping on his ROTF head.
When Megatron is released with metallic paint:
Me: come here you reverse cretin
When I saw Megatron for the first time I thought his vehicle mode was a bird but no its a cybertronian jet. 👍
His transformation is quite similar to DOTM voyager megs
Voyager class ROTF megatron: IM THE BEST VOYAGER CLASS MEGATRON!
Voyager class first transformers movie megatron: Hold my energon cube.
Aw man, he doesn't have his Fusion Cannon. You can't have a Megatron without his fusion cannon, but I like the figure
A bit disappointing, but a small price to pay for this figure...
I smell a future 3rd party add on.
The moment you realize the head on studio series is more accurate than MPM....
Meh, MPM 8's head ain't that bad.
It's the paint that gets me
I'm pretty sure they've just stuck ROTF Megatron's head onto MV1 megatron's body on the packaging 😂🤣
This is what I call a foldformer, since there is a lot of folding in the transformation
This toy has a clean robot mode
Found it funny how the art has the rotf head while the body is from 07 while it’s the reverse on the figure(mainly the torso)
He needs his fusion canon
The RoTF design was always my favorite of the first 3 movies, TLF for the last 2. But the paint, the symmetry, the silhouette... I might get this over SS-13, which this is how I wish it was painted in the first place. Wish it had its Fusion canon tho.
My one biggest gripe with this figure is the reused chest. It doesn’t look terrible but it just stands out to me
well his chest in this design and rotf design didnt change that much
Megatron: nothing food related I have all the burritos
Me: megatron likes them Mexican food
There's probably gonna be an upgrade kit for him to give him his fusion cannon
@@magicdanger7833 he did, in the fight scene between him and prime, he brings his arms together and forms a cannon.

I think the hands could really use an upgrade kit, and a detachable fusion cannon on his right arm wouldn’t hurt either.

This and the last knight voyager megatron are the two definitive megatrons toys for me, just like the movie versions
Why does Megatron always get a better studio series than prime.
Because he's cooler looking than prime
Cuz Prime has had the better toys for years. It was Megatron's turn.
Well megatron in the movie was accurately bigger then prime
The head limbs and everthing are TF 1 movie Megatron, but the torso of the toy are ROTF Megatron torso.
This just looks really amusing
I'm just glad he didn't have junk on his back to make him top heavy
dumb cyber in this regard it beats the masterpiece figure, along with better articulation and paint
@@Earthdestroyers99 yeah, but the extremely thick lower legs honestly ruins it, so... Yeah.
I have that on the way to my house. It should be here thursday
He seems kind of small to me. In the 2007 film, he's a giant. Jazz is about the size of his foot
I like the figure but I feel like the nosecone of the jet could have become the fusion cannon instead of looking a little weird on the shoulder area.
I can already see an upgrade kit consisting on a new, poseable mace, a new chest, and a fusion cannon and maybe even new claws that can move idk.
Unpopular Opinion: I much prefer him with the flail rather then the fusion cannon.
finally, a figure that manages to fold the wings away somewhere.
When I got the notification for this video, I was in Walmart getting Megatron. What a coincidence.
That leg transformation was pretty neat
Edit: whole transformation was cool. Not generally a Megatron fan but this is actually pretty interesting
Him reusing the ROTF chest doesn't bother me considering his ROTF form was just a repaired and upgraded one from his NBE-1 form.
That head sculpt is reason enough to buy this.
You wanna piece of me
