"If megatron isnt a ten though, then who in beast wars is?" Personally, i think Tarantulas is a 10 in intelligence. He's a mad scientist, who invented several weapons, was the one who reprogrammed a protoform into blackarachnia, hid the fact that he worked for the tripredacus council from the predacons for a long period of time, had installed safeguards in blackarachnia's programming that killed her when the maximals attempted to reprogram her, made a suit that allowed quickstrike to control optimal optimus, and managed to capture the extremely powerful tigerhawk. If that doesnt say intelligence and cunning, i dont know what will.
Yes but still Megatron outsmarted him up at almost every turn. Megatron basically always knew what he was scheming, and used him to his advantage every single time.
@@PerspectiveEnd Still, those few times where Tarantulas actually tricked Megatron, such as him working for the tripredacus council, put Tarantulas at a ten in my book. You can still think whatever though. Im not going to force you to adapt to my opinion.
@@finalbossgamer5481 Yeah I think Tarantulas was more intelligent that Megatron. I feel that, like many highly intelligent people, Tarantuals's arrogance got the better of him in many instances
This brought back fond memories when I had the 10th anniversary version of Megs and Primal, but yea, I also wondered about Megatron's lack of hands. Like, how does he do anything that doesn't relate to terminating Maximals?
@@PerspectiveEnd How would he use a keyboard, besides having it go very slowly? I mean they might have something like voice commands, for bots like Whirl ? That kind of existence must be torture.
I've been watching at least 10 videos of yours a day now for about a week and a half and this is the first time I've seen a video of yours that was posted less than 2 months ago. I really enjoy your work and love watching your rants, keep it up
Well thank you very much. Glad to hear that I get the opportunity to entertain you. If you've been watching my stuff for a week an a half, Ill have posted like 5 videos in that time. Any reason you aren't touching those?
@@PerspectiveEnd i only subscribed recently and have been mostly watching your older wfc and kingdom figures videos because those are what get recommended to me on my home page
I’ve had my experience with this figure and the original Optimus Primal, but I had the 10th anniversary pack of these figures (not telemocha) so they were in their original molds, but with a few updated and major paint changes to make them look closer to the cartoon. Part of the changes was that they didn’t have their mutant masks.
@@PerspectiveEnd They were both excellent for their time. Primal even had his show accurate mask-mouth that was opened and had the darker blue and grey colors. Though sadly I lost the Megatron, along with a lot of my old collection, to a box somewhere in a storage unit when I was younger and we moved quite a bit-which made me frustrated because that same box had my animated Grimlock figure and my Magna boss set, even though I never knew it was a combiner set back then. As for Primal, I still have most of the figure, but the springs are now recked, and one of the back pieces that flip out to reveal the shoulder cannons someone ended up on a driveway and got ran over.
I do have the 10th Anniversary collection of Beast Wars figures, including the Optimus Primal vs. Megatron set, so I've been generally passing on the reissues. Still, a pretty great figure.
Don’t forget had a laser and armour piercing rounds capable of blowing a hole through the maximal ship. He also had shoulder canons and was able to fire missiles from his tail weapon. like most beast wars characters megaton was packing heat
I respect your shameless hustle for engagement since you tell it very straightforward on how certain interactions such as likes and comments do you a favor.
This is the second videos I've seen today that mentions behind the scenes youtube analytics and videos over/underperforming. The world works in mysterious ways. Thanks for the review!
I've experienced this mold (along with Primal too) through Takara's Telemocha series back in 2008. Yeah, it's definitely a dated figure. I would always find Primal to be the most fun out of the two. But hey, at least the Telemocha version have a more show-accurate paint scheme than this reissue haha.
@@PerspectiveEnd no the I mean the beast war pilot two part episode. I should’ve worded that better. Idk. Maybe you could get Thew and Freddie in on it to perhaps. (Freddie is the guy who made Geewun Redone btw)
I'm glad you feel that way. I always wanted to be transparent with you all, that's why all my videos have the preamble at the start. So I can let you into my life a little.
To answer the question, I'm not too surprised by how much comments affect videos. Like, I feel that comments can be really useful to discuss stuff brought up in the videos as well as give feedback or point out possible errors the video uploader made.

Did you know the legs are misassembled? The kneecaps are so not aligned with the shins. But's it's a simple unscrew-and-swap fix on the inherently offset thigh swivels as their way of making the T-rex legs wider it seems.
Love your work man, keep it up and i wouldnt be surprised if you became one of the bigger reviewers in the tf community. Your upload rate paired with the quality is practically unmatched.
I am a huge 80s G1 fanatic - and only passingly saw Beast Wars when i was current on TV - and I was not getting any toys around this time- and I STILL love this stuff! Great video!
I appreciate that you make sure to reply or heart as many comments as you can I always like it when content creators interact with their community as much as they can. It shows a level of care.
I'm probably going to get Megatron and primal but I really hope we see a Depth Charge reissue or hopefully maybe a legacy figure? Probably won't ever happen but it would be nice.
Not surprised by the comments results. If it didn't matter no one would ask. I think pissing a question is a great way to engage with the community especially those that may have limited things to say about a particular figure. Growing up I transitioned away from the toy line, but still watched Beast wars. I had been on an Exosquad kick prior to that. Money I was gifted or I made from picking up cans or doing neighborhood lawn work went to Lego. Having said that, I really appreciate the look back at these figures. Seeing them in stores now definitely tickles the nostalgia of cardboard backing of that era's toys. Thanks for the video and see you in the next one. Woke up sick, but the video of definitely a step in the right direction, confident we can keep that momentum going.
Yeah but I wouldn't think it could just about double a video of performance if not more. And that sounds a lot like my youth except all my money went towards transformers.
Dang wish I could relate to the intro. And you thinking megatron had a hand hidden in him reminds me of when I thought my buzz light years wrist panel was openable when it wasn’t
The sad thing about these reissues is that in Australia, the only store that stocks them basically scalps them. Deluxes are normally $29 but rattrap and cheetor are $65.
Jeeeeeze... Also I didn't know you were Australian... Why do I have Soooo many Australian viewers? I feel like there are a disproportionate number of you.
@@PerspectiveEnd hasbro loves to screw Australia over with stock so us aussies are more likely to complain, hence we are more vocal and you’re more likely to see more of us. I mean the golden disk collections and kingdom tigatron are yet to even hit Amazon in Australia, and general retail doesn’t even have WAVE 3 yet, it’s actually ridiculous
Ayo Perspective! In Australia, Megatron is $105 AU on Big W. (Big W is basically Walmart.) And get this, Primal? He’s on clearance for $19 AU. YEAH. BRUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I had an idea of how the comments affected the videos, but didn't know how starkly different the results can end up from a lack of. Sometimes all of my questions get answered, or i can't think of anything to say that'll engage with the video but i try to as often as possible. And while i didn't grow up with this figure, i was born in 98 so i missed out on all of these. But over the years I've built a decently sized collection thanks to a few local shops in town, and this Megatron ain't perfect but its something i love. Though, i can see how its flaws can turn people off from wanting it in modern day.
Yenno I saw this several times at the local Walmarts and debated on buying but ultimately decided not to.

This was the first transformers I've ever play with, it was at some daycare my parents dropped me at. I didn't get get my own till about a decade later, then I sold him five years ago for a good profit. Now the new one sits on my shelf. Not sure where this is going but the to brings up some memories.
Im surpressed the anchors weren’t included in the show. They could have been on ropes allowing megatron to bring targets closer to him, or be redone as bomb canons.
@@PerspectiveEnd thank you so much man I've been hospitalized for almost 7 months an I jus watch your videos on repeat, you are really frinking funny man, also the G1 reviews with your brother is comedy gold. Keep going strong man your the best.
Great review PerspectiveEnd!!!!!! I was going to get this figure, but your review has convinced me to save my money for greater Transformers figures. :P :D Keep on being amazing.
To be fair that's kind of sad. I do like this figure, but that's because I grew up with it. It's not bad, but it's dated. I do agree that you should save your money, but it does still make me feel a little guilty.
Wallmart is surprisingly stocked up on these the shelf is full of beast wars reissues, so I had a chance to get both this and primal when I only had a thin hope of finding one of them sitting lonely on the shelf like usual
The hip guns are only on the toy, and the rile is only in one episode when he gives up the tail arm... Which did at one point fire a missile. Also you listed off four weapons and counted seven?
@@PerspectiveEnd He actually did use his hip guns in the show. Given that each was reimagined as two miniguns per hip, plus the laser, plus the tail missile, plus the rifle makes seven. But actually I was reffering to his firebladt rank being that of a seven. It relates to the amount of weapons, yes, but also the damage done by said weapons. For instance G1 Megatron, with his arm canon only, would be a 9 due to the amount of damage it can do. And in the show Beast Megatron's Laser is a pretty effective weapon.
You don't need to answer the question if you've already said something you wanted to your self. And yeah I'm pretty sure it's the most important aspect of a video.
Ya know, looking at that mutant head on Megatron and seeing how distinct it is, it makes me wonder why Hasbro hasn't made more mutant headed figures in the Kingdom line. It seems like an easy avenue to get more repaints from existing figures, like what they done with Shadow Panther from the Cheetor mold and Golden Disc Tigatron from the uh Tigatron mold.
I didn’t think the comments mattered that much honestly. It’s sort of in that zone of the mind where you never think about it but when you *do* think about its all like “of course! That makes perfect sense”
5:32 "The only thing to be found in this arm is a ruined toy!" - Man I felt that, pulled the whole thing off to make him a cardboard hand as a kid, even now I can't get it back on, considering buying the rerelease since mine is in such bad shape, even though it just sits in a box with 30 beast wars lol
Think one of the reasons why we don’t see gimmicks anymore is they take more time and effort plus money and more kids have been wanting more accurate versions of characters instead of fun gimmicks, but it seems like there’s been a small resurgence with transformers earth spark, which hopefully might be able to make more gimmicks common
Beast wars has three types of figures 1. This figure surprisingly holds up. 2. Well this figure is clearly showing it’s age but still somewhat fun 3. GOLD PLASTIC SYNDROME!
I just think that if they were going to do that, then they should have painted its more. Like either give us the figure we had as children, or give us the figure we wish we had as children.
First of all, showing us the change was cool. I usually don't comment because I feel I don't have anything interesting to say lol Your Megatron reissue looks more purple than the ones I've seen, they look more pale. Also, you're Megatron voice is WAY better than whatever the hell we got in Kingdom

Fr and it was actually informative and made me more active to comment lol
If you ask me yeeeeeees
Hey it's you!
Yeah
I think the main reason we don’t see missiles in modern figures is either
A. Safety issues
B. Added costs of adding a spring mechanism
I mean you're obviously right, but that's still lame.
Let's be real, "safety issues" means lawsuit avoidance
@@DiggitySlice which I think is a safety issue?
@@Soundwaveproductions8419 sometimes it's legit, other times it's parents who don't properly supervise their kids and jump on the chance for easy $$$ when something goes wrong.
Hasbro: *gets rid of springed missiles, plastic windows on boxes, and makes their figures smaller*
Also Hasbro: *price increase by $20*

When Megatron says yes there's an A in it.
I love how every Beast Wars fan does their own Megatron impression.
This was the first transformers I've ever play with, it was at some daycare my parents dropped me at. I didn't get get my own till about a decade later, then I sold him five years ago for a good profit. Now the new one sits on my shelf. Not sure where this is going but the to brings up some memories.
I always regret selling my old figure's.
@@PerspectiveEnd I did keep the much cooler dragon Megatron
It sort of surprised me how much it helped.
I think comments are the number one thing youtube looks at to decide if it's going to show your stuff more, more than even views.
My uncle gave me his megatron toy. I don't have it anymore since i lost it at my old house. I am definitely getting the reissue, i can't resist xd
That sucks. I know the pain of loss toy. Hope the reissue is as satisfying as you wanted to be.
Im surpressed the anchors weren’t included in the show. They could have been on ropes allowing megatron to bring targets closer to him, or be redone as bomb canons.
Yeah, its weird that he never even used the hip things as guns in any way.
Yes I'm very surprised, an a awesome video man keep it up, you are really helping me make it through the day. Thank you man thank you.
If my stuff can make your day even a little brighter then I'm proud beyond belief.
@@PerspectiveEnd thank you so much man I've been hospitalized for almost 7 months an I jus watch your videos on repeat, you are really frinking funny man, also the G1 reviews with your brother is comedy gold. Keep going strong man your the best.
I love your megatron impression
Ah yes, spring-loaded missiles. I remember firing those things once and they would disappear OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
I swear you fire them and they get beamed up by aliens.
I do like how Car Robots Gigatron had the head wings to throwback to this toys original though.
Great review PerspectiveEnd!!!!!! I was going to get this figure, but your review has convinced me to save my money for greater Transformers figures. :P :D Keep on being amazing.
To be fair that's kind of sad. I do like this figure, but that's because I grew up with it. It's not bad, but it's dated. I do agree that you should save your money, but it does still make me feel a little guilty.
@@PerspectiveEnd I'm reconsidering, since I really want to compare this figure with the Kingdom version. lol :D
Wallmart is surprisingly stocked up on these the shelf is full of beast wars reissues, so I had a chance to get both this and primal when I only had a thin hope of finding one of them sitting lonely on the shelf like usual
Yeah they seem to be a really good at stocking these are reissue figure's.
This og beast wars megatron reissue is really cool and i dont mind at all that they made the colors more show accurate.
I just think that if they were going to do that, then they needed to paint the whole thing.
I laughed out loud during some of your beast mode articulations 😂
Yuour perfectly cut scream doesn't get old. 😆
Well Megatron has a laser, the hip guns, and the hunting rifle. That's at least a 7
The hip guns are only on the toy, and the rile is only in one episode when he gives up the tail arm... Which did at one point fire a missile.
Also you listed off four weapons and counted seven?
@@PerspectiveEnd He actually did use his hip guns in the show. Given that each was reimagined as two miniguns per hip, plus the laser, plus the tail missile, plus the rifle makes seven. But actually I was reffering to his firebladt rank being that of a seven. It relates to the amount of weapons, yes, but also the damage done by said weapons. For instance G1 Megatron, with his arm canon only, would be a 9 due to the amount of damage it can do. And in the show Beast Megatron's Laser is a pretty effective weapon.
S-tear figure
I don't know about that. I do love this thing, but against modern figure is this doesn't hold up.
Yesss...
oh you asked a question. uhh. absolutely. I'm very suprised
You don't need to answer the question if you've already said something you wanted to your self.
And yeah I'm pretty sure it's the most important aspect of a video.
Ya know, looking at that mutant head on Megatron and seeing how distinct it is, it makes me wonder why Hasbro hasn't made more mutant headed figures in the Kingdom line.
It seems like an easy avenue to get more repaints from existing figures, like what they done with Shadow Panther from the Cheetor mold and Golden Disc Tigatron from the uh Tigatron mold.
Hmm. I don't like how right you are.
it's extremely impressive that you reply to every comment
Thank you I try.
I'm not surprised that comments help this much. I always knew that they helped, but I didn't know that it helped this much.
Yeah, I honestly think it's the number 1 factor in deciding a videos success to youtube.
I didn’t think the comments mattered that much honestly.
It’s sort of in that zone of the mind where you never think about it but when you *do* think about its all like “of course! That makes perfect sense”
Yeah, I think TH-cam values it the most it because it's the most efforts type of engagement.
I used to love this toy and I still do for the same reason
SQIRT, MY DINO HEAD, WE WILL DROWN THE MAXIMALS
Honestly it does
I knew they helped, but not that much! I’m happy for you man!
Yeah. It's really powerful. I think more than anything else it's the number one decider of how popular your videos get.
hey those look like Wolfang's missiles. Wonder if they are compatible.
I should probably test taht.
Barney the dinosaur is a predacon, he's certainly ain't a yesssssss
There was always something wrong with Barney... You could see it in his eyes.
So now all you need is the monke man. For an old figure I think this isn’t bad and I enjoy the new more show accurate colors.
I just think that if they were going to make into more show accurate, then they should have gone all the way.
5:32 "The only thing to be found in this arm is a ruined toy!" - Man I felt that, pulled the whole thing off to make him a cardboard hand as a kid, even now I can't get it back on, considering buying the rerelease since mine is in such bad shape, even though it just sits in a box with 30 beast wars lol
Gotta be honest I actually am surprised comments can affect a video that much
Yeah I'm pretty sure were comments are the most important factor in determining of videos a success.
Think one of the reasons why we don’t see gimmicks anymore is they take more time and effort plus money and more kids have been wanting more accurate versions of characters instead of fun gimmicks, but it seems like there’s been a small resurgence with transformers earth spark, which hopefully might be able to make more gimmicks common
This is all true, though I don't know that it's a Fair Statement that it's the kids who are looking for the most accurate figures.
Beast wars has three types of figures 1. This figure surprisingly holds up. 2. Well this figure is clearly showing it’s age but still somewhat fun 3. GOLD PLASTIC SYNDROME!
I really like the new colors on Megatron
I just think that if they were going to do that, then they should have painted its more.
Like either give us the figure we had as children, or give us the figure we wish we had as children.
I'm glad comments actually work!
I'm actually not surprised. I've seen it first hand on a friends channel.
And I think I would probably like this figure.
I think you might be the first person who actually understands the power of comments then.
First of all, showing us the change was cool. I usually don't comment because I feel I don't have anything interesting to say lol
Your Megatron reissue looks more purple than the ones I've seen, they look more pale.
Also, you're Megatron voice is WAY better than whatever the hell we got in Kingdom
I couldn't get him or primal as a kid. Will definitely get them both now.
I think Primal will blow you away.
I think you're the first person to show the view and subscribe stat in how it correlates with comments.
I've always tried to be as transparent as possible.
