I will never regret buying this in-store. Great proportions. Amazing looking modes. VERY game-accurate design. This is a must have for collectors and people who just like toys.
Damn....not bad TJ. I actually want this figure now. Especially love the detachable canon, too many Megatron figures with screwed/glued/bolted on canons. I think it helps with the transformation better....but it could just be me.
I love this toy, I bought it yesterday at a convention, and I'm super happy I have him now. I wanted this figure since his announcement back in 2010, and it feels so good to finally have him in my hands. I just wanted to share that with you, have a nice day.
TLDR; look at the side of his cannon near the barrel as you insert the missile. It wasn't mentioned out in the video and I haven't seen it in the comments either so I'll go ahead and point it out here. His cannon has an additional gimmick in that inserting his missile into his cannon causes a small section of the cannon's inside(visible through an opening on the cannon's side near the barrel) to shift revealing the same energon purple seen on his waist/groin. I like it, it's a simple color change gimmick that gives off the feel of the weapon being charged and ready to fire.
About molded missiles; plain ones seem to be the safer bet but I agree a good effect missile is wonderful. The tie breaker for me is that bog standard missiles are interchangeable, which is great when you want to use different colors for different characters than originally intended.
I really love this Megatron as well, but oh boy, did he make me wait! He flew off the shelves when I had the money to get it and while I got the other 3 WFC figures when they came out, I got a hold of this bad boy just last year, as I could never find a sealed one and all the second hand ones were missing the cannon.
This is a figure I regret not getting at the time, and wish I could manage to get one. I have Prime and Bumblebee at least but...I really dig this Megatron!!
While the figure is in tank mode, close the treads (with the hands inside), then move them down to a 45 degree angle (there should be a soft lock); surprise, he DOES have a "Galvatron Canon" mode. In robot mode, detatch the arm canon, then re-attatch in reverse (gun will be at an angle). Twist arm so gun is underslung, and he now has a grenade launcher/heavy machine gun.
+Nightburner 53 Not a problem as much as an editing gaff, sometimes when I put in the fade out it has both clips selected at once, so both fade out. Editing programs are goofy that way, you do the same thing 100 times just fine then one time it'll go and do something on it's own.
+Mecha82 not exactly, Q transformers were just a fun little thing takara did in referance to the Choro Q line, the mobile game of convoy no nazo was just for the fun
seems less like a tank and more like a non-turreted tank destroyer something along the lines of a Jagdtiger or an Object 704 or even in this case something like Sturmtiger (going on the size of the gun compared to the vehicle here)
Ooo one of those supriseingly awsom figures for me is generations skull grin MMMm wonderfull articulation cool transformation and Nice acsessorys plus one of the most METAL headsculpt I have ever seen
If we got toys of of Convoy No Nazo it would've just been a ultra magnus that you when touch it, it would fall apart in pieces. (just like in the game)
This isn't a tank, it's a gun mounted on treads
Look up tank destroyer.
That is pretty much what a tank is
it's always nice when we get a review of something I actually have.....idk though

This is one of those toys that I always wanted to get, but never managed to get my hands on. This thing would look so good next to the WFC Optimus.
HE FIRED THE MISSLE OMG THE UNDERWORLD HAS FROZEN OVER RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
+pixelman619 Yes he did! :O
XD

man i wanted this guy, never could find it in the stores
Same
I found one once but foolishly picked the Soundwave next to him instead.
I like how when the missile is loaded the cannon has a section that changes color to make it look like its loaded and ready to fire

hmhm, it's a great toy.
TJ, what's your definitive Megatron toy?

Cant wait for the FOC Megs from Planet X coming soon.
Yeah, this guy is on my top 5 favorite TFs. He's suuuuuper great!
Yeah, he's a nice little Megatron, tough as hell and just... cool.
I really like the Rage Over Cybertron repaint. It's pretty cool :3
I really love this Megatron as well, but oh boy, did he make me wait!

this is one of my truly loved Megatron figures a true great
I have this toy too, and I absolutely love him!

Just learned of your channel. I subbed and will be watching more. Very well done.

did anyone have a problem when part of the video faded out and come back in

+TJOmega ok thanks, thought youtube was just really glitchy
+TJOmega have u noticed the decepticon symbol on his back
+TJOmega all fall of cybertron toys had this which I thought was awesome
I love this thing, too. I got the Takara United Darkside version of him and it's amazing.
And I prefer the WfC designs over the FoC's.
Makes me wish this mold was Voyager sized because that would make this figure even better.
hey TJ, could you review an R.I.D. 2015 legends figure?
GO FOR THE OPTIMUS NOW
When they made that mobile game version of Convoy No Nazo they gave it toys that are basically just simple SD versions of classic G1 characters.
+Mecha82 not exactly, Q transformers were just a fun little thing takara did in referance to the Choro Q line, the mobile game of convoy no nazo was just for the fun
The Purple part of his head is supposed to be Dark Energon I think
I'm right there with you. I love this figure as well
You're so excited!!! I love this !!

+LanceTheAutobot The lord straxus figure from the same mold is better imo.
murray Lochrie granted the mold is brilliant
LanceTheAutobot Yup, could have been a voyager though
Had to settle for the "Rage Over Cybertron" version myself because holy fuck this guy got expensive post-retail.
Wish somebody would make a Masterpiece version of this guy!
I want an add on for this
I feel you man I wish this figure was a voyager scale. Then it would've easily dethroned Classics Megatron in my collection.
i was pissed when we dident get foc megatron
Hey tj have you ever thought of going to 60FPS? To really show off the paint and sculpted detail
how would 60FPS help with that
+Cole Frambes Pretty sure showing off the details better would involve increasing the resolution not frame rate.
What are your thoughts on Armada Megatron?
this is not a stream ask on streams not video
So the evolution of megatron goes like this:
Gun
Tank
T-Rex
Dinosaur
Cybertron Jet
Sports Car (Galaxy Force
Transformium Transformation
Huge Cannon
Logic, don't question it
Will you ever review cybertron Optimus?
that will be a tj review btw hes always been saying that.... probably the same as fire convoy from car robots
+Jetfire48 cool because he was my first transformer ever
Is he worth the ridiculously high prices he goes for on eBay right now?
+CrabCMDO yes. and if you liked the games its a mandatory buy.
its great figure, but if it had symmetrical arms then I would so buy one
Anyone else watching this in 2023 to compare it to the Studio Series Gamer Edition version of this design of Megatron, or is it just me?
AHHHH GOD, I HAD OPTIMUS PRIME AND BUMBLEBEE, I DIDN"T HAVE THIS GUY. *life shatters* NOOOOOOO!!!!!
If we got toys of of Convoy No Nazo it would've just been a ultra magnus that you when touch it, it would fall apart in pieces. (just like in the game)
+Ojunix And who could forget the most important Convoy No Nazo character, Giant Decepticon Sigil
That would be an accessory. XD
And a recolor to make him Rodimus, still falls apart upon touch
mine still is rotf jolt,XP
the War Within version is the best
i loved the Cybertron game designs for every character.
