I'm so happy to see this guy. IMHO a tank is the perfect alt mode for Megatron - he's not gonna turn into a gun for his subordinates to wield, he's not gonna turn into a jet like a dozen other Decepticons. No, he's gonna turn into the huge honkin' armored vehicle with the big cannon mounted on the front so he can blast apart any Autobot in his way and he can roll over their remains. But I don't think any previous Megatron really did the idea justice, either the vehicle or robot mode compromised in some way. This, this feels like the complete package.
I agree tank mode is the best modern alternate mode for Megatron. I know people prefer the gun mode due to nostalgia, but a tank fits Megatron in so many ways. It's a military vehicle, fitting Megatron's nature as a tyrannical military leader of the Decepticons, tanks are pretty much giant guns on treads, and offer mobility.
I would say i personally love the rotf tank megs had since he just casually had his face in the front, giving no care about disguise and having the alt mode purely for destruction
Agreed. I feel tank is the best mode for Megs, but I'm not against jet. Better than gun tho. Not that it was hated as a child, but tank is just better. I feel the same for Galvatron, as I always hated cannon mode.
As someone who didnt grow up with G1, Tank Megatron always made so much sense to me, and i remember thinking Megatron turning into a gun was kinda goofy when i learned about it. Even more so since he then has to let others use him, which imo doesnt fit Megatron
That Megatron head with the faceplate, if you want you could repaint the bucket head in blue, keep the faceplate that gunmetal silver, and Behold you have a Megatron Cobra Commander! XD
This thing totally gives me Metal Slug vibes. I love it! A tank like this is totally the best alt mode for Megatron: a massive cannon strapped to tracks. Gorgeous!
That alt mode is friggin perfect. It's not quite a tank really, and it's not a gun, it's like a Howitzer on treads. It's exactly what Megatron would choose as his alt mode, a great thundering metal slug of destruction, and it doesn't just look like a robot doing uncomfortable yoga. Similarly, the robot mode is utterly devoid of kibble. At first, I thought this was one of those figures that DIDN'T transform because the treads are hidden for that G1 completeness. Utter witchcraft.
WOW!!!! No joke!! That would be such a fun watch! From concept and prototype to creation and final product. Why has no one done this! 😮 Your a genius! 😂😂
Just too beautiful. Too bad Travis Knight didn't bring a Megatron to the Bumblebee movie. Then we have to imagine what Megatron would look like and this one seems perfect for the movie. Mine is coming very soon, yeah, collector's life is like that, you can't miss a gem like that under any circumstances. Congratulations on the excellent video.
Now (THIS) is a truly complex yet exciting figure of "Megatron" that's really eye-popping !!!! 👀 It looks "quite nice" in both modes & it's huge size & sophistication tells Me that this is NOT a cheap transformer!!!! 🤭
Speaking if which, I honestly kinda worried about the upcoming Transformers Rise of the Beast (which technically is the sequel to Bumblebee) because it suddenly jumps into a Maximals vs Predacons (and Terrorcons is also there for some reason) kind of situation instead of bringing on Megatron and his Decepticons like they originally wanted to...
@@arslan7108 I KNOW RIGHT?!! i get it that they most likely took inspiration from that comic book series where the Maximals and Predacons were sent to the future and meet their Autobots and Decepticons counterpart, but i seriously felt like we skipped 3-4 movies over here
@@arslan7108 that's cool but sadly very unlikely, considering they already caster Ron Perlman as Optimus Primal, they would more than likely cast another big name hollywood actors to potray beast wars Megatron for pr purposes (kind of like how they casted Hugo Weaving as Megatron in the first three Bayformers instead of Frank Welker) but fingers crossed
When I first started collecting TFs a couple years ago I loved the looks of this one, but I never thought I'd get it. It was just too expensive, but then they released a budget version without the sword, the 3rd head, and the battle damaged paintjob, and I finally got it. Wow, what an amazing figure to behold, in either mode. It instantly catches the eye, and thanks to emgo, as always, for help with the transformation. Even with the videos, there's usually a few points that are difficult which you have to kind of finagle and feel your way thru, backing it up a few dozen times till you get it right.
I can't help but chuckle at the fact of Emgo doing his best to not go into Megatron voice while holding this thing. XD Also gotta give a big like for that extra smooth roll, like, whoa.
Thanks for this awesome video. I just recieved my Monocrat/Megatron last night. I ordered it because of your video. it is an awesome figure. and was unexpectedly bigger than my 25th anniversary Masterpiece Optimus prime (MP01) by about an inch or so. love this thing.
Megatron has always been my favourite Transformers character. I wanted to see the G1 style version of him in Bumblebee so bad. We didn't get that, but I'm so happy to see what could have been with this figure. I really like it.
Screw covers yay: (toy companies take note) more toys in general need to do this especially for the large collectibles nobody wants to see holes and it's not that difficult for the screws this is a toy I want to get just because it has screw covers great for modeling just add instructions
One of the only 3P videos where the transformation didn't actively stop me from wanting to buy it! It's long, but the steps seem to genuinely be mostly about *reconfiguring the bot into a vehicle* rather than a gajillion dumb fiddly panels being rearranged.
Hey Emgo. Your skits are always hilarious and amazing. But sometimes I remember a skit you did and can't recall which toy it was attached to. Is there a chance you could make a playlist or something of just the skits alone?
oh so now they have a Bumblebee movie toy version, granted he never showed up in the movie, but he looks like the spitting image of his G1 counterpart.
Not that I'm complaining,but I didn't see Megatron in the bumblebee movie. However, that's a great looking Megatron. I would like to know if it sizes perfectly with MP-01 masterpiece Optimus Prime though.
Holy god dam that is super detailed and super cool and probably so complex to trnasform and your fingers would be soring alot because of the sharp edge i mean that always happen to me when i get a new transformer but DDDAAAMMMM
For those who have the Threezero DLX figures from the movie Bumblebee, this Megatron along with the Star Storm CF-01 and the Shockwave BT-01 are perfect together in the Decepticons team together with the Soundwave DLX and the Blitzwing DLX. I would like other Autobots from the Bumblebee movie to be created of this high quality level to balance things out a little, because so far we only have Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. And welcome to Shatter and Dropkicki who had a good role in the film.

Love the side by side comparison with the Bayverse Megs. Really shows how shitty that Megatron is. Looks like a dang scrawny insect next to the Bee Megs.
Hey Emgo, what did you do to get rid of the cat ears on your masterpiece bumblebee movie optimus? Also, for a figure like this, how many times do you transform it back and forth before a video typically? You do an amazing job and you're transformations are always well memorized.
@@emgo316 thank you, the skit at the end is by far the funniest one I've seen with buckethead and cyclops......... I mean ......... Megatron and Shockwave.
BIG NEWS! The self transforming Optimus Prime from Robonsen is about to get his trailer also Self Transforming, and it does include Rolled which is also remote controlled!
He reminds me of the tin woodsman from the Wizard of Oz. Is Megatron I mean mega tank compensating for something with that cannon? I remember as a kid knock off transformers were crap. But they have come a long way.
I never liked Megatron as a tank because I've seen the original G1 cartoon and I thought his gun alt mode was very original so was his Canon alt mode when he was Galvatron and although I do understand why they switched him from a tank to a gun they could make him a little bit more original transformers animated with Megatron as a battle chopper was probably the best. And although I understand why they don't want Megatron to be a gun anymore you can't beat the classics I mean you can always turn Megatron into a gigantic shoulder Cannon so you don't have to explain Mass shifting or one of those gigantic Gatling guns you see an Old world War I and Old world War II films and documentaries. They did a similar bit with soundwave turning him from a tape recorder to a surveillance spite truck
Honestly instead of that alternate head they should have made the non-face bit a "battle mask" to cover his face. At least then you could just pop the mask on over his face to transform him so you don't see his face in vehicle mode without needing to replace the head every time, should you want to do that of course.
@@sunstormprimesm9450 Also doesn't make any sense anymore. Mass-shifting doesn't really seem to be a thing anymore, and there's a growing base of Transformers fans who've never known Megatron as a gun.

I think it's more of a fencing helmet. Don't really see many broadsword in fencing but then again you don't see giant metal robots fencing.
Was anyone else thinking he would transform into his gun form
They made him look like he was made from real metal with that paint work. Very Cool 👍
You took the words right out of my mouth. That was my first thought too. It does come across as threatening, but in a positive way.
Simply perfect!

I have to give you major props for transforming figures and keeping your arms and hands out of the way. Really appreciate your videos.

Great review Emgo316! I was waiting for the ending scene skit. Very funny!
This guy really gives me War For Cybertron Trilogy vibes. I don’t know why but it really does and that’s why I love this!
wow I love that new cobra commander head , also this is the only mold that isn't that much bay verse inspired like the rest on this line
Shockwave: No budget?
Megatron: *SLAP*
Shockwave: WOW! Megs just slapped the slag outta me!
Yay the old megs and wave sketch. I’ve missed those 😊

10:15 - The last thing Ironhide ever saw.
lol
The alt head looks like Vampire Megatron. The head that come preinstalled could be substituted in alt tank mode to hide his head.
I discussed that alternative in the video.
Love the design and engineering, but can't get into the hugeness of it all. If there's any 1/2-scale version of this, I'll be all over it!
A 4th party may do a scale down version but I'm getting all 13 inches of this bad boy.
The front end in tank mode has a futuristic sports car vibe
Beautiful piece you got over there
That masked head makes me think of Cobra Commander and Shredder lol
Yay! The couch is back!
This is my favorite megatron ever
Part of me is like, "why isn't anyone watching MY review?!" and then the other part of me says "well, I'm here, may as well watch" ;)
In the Philippines, we have saying that goes, "laos na", meaning "outdated, obsolete, out-of-touch, irrelevant".
Emgo is not that and never will be.
Megatron, who's that? We don't know, what are you talking about? Copyright, what's that? Who knows?
Hahaha 😆 Love it! Gotta get me one of those!!
Now that is some badass figure. looks true evil and vast!
MB-17 Meg-Tyranno is phenomenal btw
Bumblebee 2018 Megatron
Why am I just now seeing this!? He is beautiful!!!! I must have!!!!!
8:12 If you can get a Decepticon Brand big enough he can be Movie Tarn.
I haven't watch this guy for years
Hey emgo been watchin for about 5 years and I just wanna say that you are really cool
“Power flows to the ones that knows how.”

The faceless head is Cobra Commander taking over Megatron's body!

I really hope megs is in the upcoming movie 🎥 🙏
the tank mode reminds me of another cool tank .. The tank in Metal Slug :D
Oh my Jesus Megatron is back Hasbro take notes
The weathering looks it was done by hand.
Beautiful ver of him! 🦾
Not that I'm complaining,but I didn't see Megatron in the bumblebee movie. However, that's a great looking Megatron. I would like to know if it sizes perfectly with MP-01 masterpiece Optimus Prime though.
