Now would be a perfect time for Pangu to pick a Megatron to upscale. My, soon to be three, 17 inch Primes need something to break up the shelf. A 17 inch Megatron on a giant throne would be perfect. I would get two just to have a comically oversized gun hanging on the wall, too.
Great show! Man, I was really disappointed to see how short that new NA Megatron is. A TH-camr that I trust repeatedly described this NA Megatron as a complement to the new commander class Prime. So, I preordered two of them, and I went back and ordered a second commander class Prime. Once I saw the comparison of the two, I canceled the NA Megatron and the second commander class Prime preorders.
Let’s put it this way. Newage Megatron looks great with other Hasbro Transformers. He’s perfect with Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave. It’s just that the SS86 Optimus Prime is made a little too big. Maybe Newage will make their own Optimus Prime then we can forget about the SS86 Optimus Prime
I'm getting a New Age Megatron, but he's about 0.4" too short, unfortunately, so for Stop Motion, I'd need the upcoming Hasbro one for robot mode, then, use this for the transformation, switch to Legends for the shrinking, then the toy accessory for the final stage. I just wish he were slightly closer to the original in the arms/chest transformation, but otherwise, they handle the legs quite well
I really want to know how much that Newage Megatron is going to be. I'm hoping a slightly upscaled ko of it comes out to be bigger then the SS86 Prime. A ko would probably be more of the price I'm wanting to pay and a gun alt mode that'd scale better.
I think the New Age S-01 ROMULUS looks good with the HASBRO stuff. We’re never going to get a gun MEGATRON from HASBRO, so this third party one will work just fine for me. I’m still getting the SS86 MEGATRON too. I’ll have a MEGATRON to fit in with Earthrise and SS86.
I think the mistake people are making is calling it SS86 Megatron. It seems obvious new age designed it to match Earthrise. If they had known a year ago that SS 86 Prime was going to be scaled this big they would have matched it. My guess is, and it’s only an opinion, if this duress well maybe they’ll upscale down the road. Or maybe a company like pangu will do that. Either way, I like this Megs, New Age is going what I’ve been wishing for for a long time.
I'm not sure they made it to scale with ER or SS. I think they may be venturing into a new scale for them to play in. I think it's also perfect timing as so many fans want a Megatron that turns into a gun. They will use it to fit wherever in their collection.
Maybe this NA Romulus Megtron is the first of many coming from NA, maybe they will do chug size now. I m a chug collector and will definetly get the clear purple just because that scene in the movie. Also Im certain they will do a chug size Shockwave because he is another one that hasbro will not make into a gun and he was in the movie, so for sure shockwave is coming, these two spots are open in the market and 3rd party companies will not miss out.
Wait! Ginrai is THAT small? I assume the yellow Hoist is on the MP scale, which makes Ginrai way too small for what I was looking for. Still, I need confirmation he's that small. I had hoped he would be somewhere around 24-26 cm tall. If not I will go with Fans-Hobby version of Super Ginrai.
Wait… what… it’s smaller than ss86 prime? I thought they were making a megs that scales with ss86. Anyway, I’ll get one if they add the toy deco and give us the scope and silencer.
I think they were working on this in advance and may not have known the scale of commander prime. It's not like the size of recent figures stock to traditional sizes anymore.
I'm still getting that new age optimus prime. I don't think Megatron should be taller than optimus prime. I still think the g1 episode didn't a better job with optimus primes origin than transformers one.
I don't think Megs should be taker either. I think they should be the same height actually. I liked the G1 story of Prime as well, though this one was decent
The Bot is still in vacation mode, evidenced by him trying to fit a phone wallpaper on his actual wall.....and Steeljaw ordering habits 😊 I completely understand, still laughing but understand. Leave it to Super7 (or more widely known as Stupid7) to go glitter bomb on Starscream and clearly mislabel Frenzy.....😊 Filch is popping up at Walmart. Found two today, along with Roadpig and saw it briefly on their app as available. The NA Studio Series Megatron looks awesome but it was clearly designed to scale with the Earthrise Optimus Prime. it is short compared to the Commander Prime. Just means NA will make their own Optimus, probably. Which is fine for me, I agree that this looks way too good for Studio Series. I'm getting it. It's still early but I've been saying MPG is masterpiece chug. Right there with you guys. It's very telling that NA's chug Megatron still looks better than MPG........ Agent Knight is a lock, done deal, 1000% getting it.... in other words, yes. I past on WaffleBlade, so SlipWaffle is also a pass. Looking forward to hear about some hands on opinion on the XTB Ironhide.
I am behind on everything. Need a vacation from my vacation. I need to get that Filch. It hasn't shown up yet here. Walmart canceled my preorder which is equally disappointing. In with you on the NA Megs and Agent Knight. I also think NA will make their own chug prime. I'm finding it interesting that NA and MS are venturing out of Legends scale. So far so good.
I like the XTB Ironhide better than Ratchet for sure and they've both grown on me a little, but there's something off with the proportions on them - the arms are really weird because the way they accomplish a greater than 90 degree elbow bend - it just doesn't look right Also, they were going for an animation model aesthetic, but alot of the gun accessories are chromed toy-like versions. Ultimately, this toy - whether form XTB or FT - has alot to live up to simply because of how awful the original G1 toys was as a representative of the on-screen character. I give it a solid 7 out of 10
Thanks for that and I watched your Ironhide review. Mine should be showing up sometime soon. I think I'm going to start doing some unboxing videos as well.
The Con is right about Ginrai...Super Ginrai should be the same size as MP Prime & Super God Ginrai should be bigger... although I love my Fanshobby version, he's huge... remember, Ginrai isn't meant to be Prime...
Okay, this question has nothing to do with today's episode... is Transformers One good enough to make you want to collect HQ transforming 3rd party versions of those characters?
Great question. It opened me up to thinking about it. I still don't really like the designs of the transformations but that doesn't hurt the quality of the movie. There are plenty of movies I've watched and enjoyed and didn't buy the action figures that supported the movie.
@@botvscon I am at the movie now waiting for the post credits scene... I want amazing toys. This movie was everything I ever wanted from a Transformers film. I WAS SO WRONG ABOUT THIS MOVIE.
NewAge megatron is shorter than ss86 prime actually. His size is good with Earthrise optimus prime. Not with ss86 optimus prime. Comparison pics is on my community post.
I think Megs looks too good to match with either of them. Size is closer to Earthrise but the quality and aesthetics is far superior with NA then both Hasbro offerings.
@@botvscon Yes but that's a different matter. Right now I'm talking about size. Because of the current size he can't be displayed standing next to ss86 prime. If he's the size as ss86 prime, at least he can still be displayed standing next to ER Prime and ss86 prime. Some people prefer megatron to be bigger. He can be displayed with both ss86 prime and ER Prime. But because he's smaller, he can only be display standing next to ER Prime. I don't mind the Aesthetics. But the size is a problem Small = display with only with 1 prime. Bigger = display with 2 option of primes. Maybe Magicsquare would like to join the generation scale territory. And do a proper size with ss86 prime. Because we need more G1 voyager megatron with a cartoon/1986 movie accurate alt mode options. We already have so many voyager size tank mode megatron already. including ss86 megatron. More options is good.
I know everyone is going nuts over this Megatron, but if it's not from Hasbro, it's not Studio Series. It's 3rd Party, and that's okay, but everyone needs to stop insinuating that it's SS because it isn't. 🤷♂️
Great point. The NA quality is still better than SS to me and why they will not look as accurate as possible together on the shelf. Each is a standalone until the company makes it's respective counterpart.
Honestly the New Age Megatron looks so good since he is about 6 inches , I say he worth a buy
Would the old ToyWorld Hegemon do the job?
I'm in for it. Just because we are getting what we want in a chug scale gun
I want that Megatron. Good that it goes with Earthrise.
I think it is only comparable in size. It looks too good to go with Earthrise in all other aspects
@@botvscon might have to put it with the Bee movie Optimus. I've seen some ko stuff based on hastak, but improved. Rotb ss Prime with chromed pipes.
Now would be a perfect time for Pangu to pick a Megatron to upscale. My, soon to be three, 17 inch Primes need something to break up the shelf. A 17 inch Megatron on a giant throne would be perfect. I would get two just to have a comically oversized gun hanging on the wall, too.

I think I would be in for both
No red in the cartoon on the inner leg/calf.
For Megatron.
They will do about 100000000000 recolors
@@christophersteen1873 I meant that in the G1 cartoon the was no red on Megatrons legs.
But you are also right
Thanks. I remembered it as we were talking about it.
Very happy to stick with my power baser over mpg
I may end up doing the same thing

Sounds like a good idea
I am picking up the G2 stunticons because the g2 combiners always go up in price.
They do.
I wonder if Romulus will get diecast feet extensions to fix the size compared to SS 96' Prime.
Who knows what aftermarket parts these 3d companies may put out
Megs (S-01) sat in the throne is giving Basic Instinct vibes. I cant look! 😮
As long as he doesn't uncross his legs. I don't want to get surprised by any shaft and gears lol
I was excited for the megatron until I saw it was too short for ss86 prime
I think the quality of the figure is above what we are getting with 86 Prime as well.

in the uk we havent seen it as it releases on the 10th of october
Has there been any explanation for it? That's not even half-term, is it?
I never realized there was as long of a delay in the release of movies in other countries.
@@botvscon there isn't, usually.

Didn't think about Shockwave. I like that they are venturing out from legends like Magic Square.
TFNation Mini-Con is in a place called Reading (pronounced Redding). It's not a reading.
Thanks for the clarification
great show thank you. that na megatron looks awesome but I think I'm going to wait for the toy deco version.
I'm curious about what they will do with repaints. Thanks for watching
Wait! Ginrai is THAT small? I assume the yellow Hoist is on the MP scale, which makes Ginrai way too small for what I was looking for. Still, I need confirmation he's that small. I had hoped he would be somewhere around 24-26 cm tall. If not I will go with Fans-Hobby version of Super Ginrai.
Yes the yellow Hoist is MP size. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep my order. I may wait for some type of sale or something
Great show as always guys
Glad you enjoyed it
Nothing for me this news cycle, but that's fine given all the newage slag and snarl variations that will be coming out soon.
I'm sure all of those repaints made your wallet overjoyed.
I looked on chosen prime, I'm a new member by the way on chosen prime but am I missing something do they not have a pre-order yet? For the Romulus
Chosen prime typically puts up there preorders closer to the release of figures so you aren't waiting years for it to come out.
Wait… what… it’s smaller than ss86 prime? I thought they were making a megs that scales with ss86. Anyway, I’ll get one if they add the toy deco and give us the scope and silencer.
