Takara Tomy Transformers MP-36 Masterpiece MEGATRON Video Review
That moment when someone robs a 7/11 with megatron
*accidentally hits scope* DECEPTICONS TRANSFORMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!! "shit"
people who rob 7/11's with megatron would be ironic
next thing you know people get shockwave and rob banks
in g1 did anyone get sick of star screems irritating voice?
@@stevemisiurka7654 All the voices were perfect. Yes Starscream has a high pitch voice :-)
And the clerk puts up a fight... SUCH HEROIC NONSENSE!
50th like
I successfully transformed it into gun mode, then back to robot mode, and I am never doing that again.
wuss
It was the same with MP 5. How many times do you transform him from gun to robot to gun and back again? Not alot. At the momment, he's in gun mode because the gun barrel joint snapped. And robot mode, his middle section keeps flopping away from his waist.
I've transformed MP05 well over 100 times now with only some tabs breaking and paint chips, its not that hard, especially if you use Optibotimus's video as a guide.
Well thank fully mine didn't break but there were times when I felt it was going to. Which is why he will be staying in robot mode from now on.
wuss
I've been watching optibotimus for about 6 years now ever since I was 10 years old(turning 16 years old). Optibotimus was my main inspiration for becoming a collector and learning more and more about the Franchise as the years go on. When I seen this review in my recommendations my face lit up with joy considering that G1 Megatron is one of my all time favorite characters although I'll never afford this figure it looks outstanding in robot mode. Haven't even gotten close to finishing the video. I really hope we get more Mp figures it'll be amazing if in the upcoming years Takara/Hasbro manages to put out the entire G1 cast in masterpiece form.
Autobot Brainstorm till all are one
Autobot Brainstorm same
Jazz, Hound and Mirage.
Autobot Brainstorm dude same :-)
Go MMC Ocular Max Sphinx and your MP Mirage is done
The transformation took me nearly 30 min, but thanks to you I had someone calmly explaining what to do. This was an extremely helpful video, I think I paused and rewinded too many times to count haha. Great work Paul, keep these reviews coming!
I finally was able to pick this guy up last week and he is amazing.!!Transformation was a bit of a pain, but that was expected for what he transforms into. I 100% agree that this is the best version out there. The engineering, in my opinion, t took for this figure is genius. He has now become my favorite of the Masterpiece line. Thanks for the review. It helped me get through some of the tough parts.
Great review for a highly-anticipated figure! By the way, the Long Life Design is the award given by Good Life to the Transformers Masterpiece line last year for high quality and design.
+Fan-AngryBirds I'm curious, how do you know this video is a "great review" when it's only been live for 9 minutes and it's over an hour long review?
optibotimus Guess I jumped the (Megatron) gun on that statement - but hey, all of your reviews are great, and I know that before I even finish! I knew this figure would completely excite you mainly due to the fact that you greatly value screen-accuracy, even as far as the toon-style faction symbol. And seeing you talk about this figure and transforming it really makes my day. The only thing that worries me (nothing too personal and not criticism) is when you can't get an edge because of the fingernail issue. I remember from your MP Soundwave review that you say you bite your nails, and that makes me worried because you could get paronychia as a result. You do not want to have that happen. It creates a painful pus-filled blister at the infection site, and it's not pleasant to have. Trust me, I've had it myself. I would recommend some nail-polish like product that coats your nails with a bitterant to prevent you from biting them. It will also making transforming your figures a lot easier. Anyways, love the review, love the figure, and have a happy Easter!
yeaah i been waiting for this because you are the only reviewer that appreciate the show accurate designs, all the other reviewers prefer the toy look c:
El_Jomuel true
uh, no. that turns into a tank, not a gun.
Detailed directions too!
Toolala The original megatron turned into a gun. This was like, the 80s one
I was responding to Twisted Knight saying people who like toy accuracy have Combiner Wars Megatron, who turns into a tank, not a gun.
35:58 *That* face! Quit teasing Takara.. When is MP Galvatron?
Probably never
21:30 for transformation
Greg Sweet you sir, are a hero
Relly do like this Megatron, one of the best masterpiece designs. I just transform him twice per day.
Time to wait for new Megatron: 6 years
Price of new Megatron: 230 US dollars
Feeling of elation and nostalgia when gleefully posing Megatron choking the life out of Starscream for the 237th time:
priceless
3 years down 3 more to go
optibotimus has broken the record for longest friken masterpiece review on youtube.
and i thought your review of robo jezus was long
After watching G1 again, I noticed some features that TAKARA TOMY could have added to his accessories. The spinning saw that he fired at Optimus Prime in the episode Transport to Oblivion. As well as the memory altering device he used on Bumble Bee.
Amazing review. Most comprehensive one I've seen on TH-cam so far. And such an awesome looking figure. Well worth the wait. He will be mine one day.
Awesome version of G1 Megatron. love takara's attention to detail and finding a way to maintain relative scale in robot form amongst all the line and variety of characters very well.
megatron never had all these moving parts on the show. just too much. if he did, he would lose every battle since it was take him like 10 minutes to transform.
To get the cap off you can heat the barrel with a hair drier
Just put one layer of masking tape around the tip when you want to use the silencer. It works, no damage, comes off clean. Looks dumb hanging off like that when you're afraid to push it all the way.
Excellent review as always, Botimus.
Great to hear you studying all those pics and totally with you and also said it on other pics comments sections, on FB, Insta and such: "If you break it, you´re doing it wrong."
This guy has it all in the instructions and even if you don´t understand japanese, the pictures, perspectives and directional arrows show you EXACTLY what to do.
You feel it flexing somewhere and not clicking, pegging, or moving?
Better look a second, or third time, even if it´s small...there IS something wrong.
Looking forward to next.
Take care.
Takara Tomy never ceases to impress me. who agrees?
I don't, sorry.
Don't get your point on Takara.
Need a dose of Vitamin A I guess.
LATOUR THIERRY Takara Tomy were the ones who made this figure. Not hasbro
I wasn't that impressed with the back of the figure
43:32 We need Frank Welker.
matthewakian2 SUCH HEROIC NONSENSE
I thought his fusion cannon was just a strong energy blaster, I learn something new everyday, if I was smart enough
paul.. I want to thank you for this review. just got mine yesterday and was scared to death to mess with it. you virtually held my hand step by step. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you. the engineering, quality and tightness is beyond Apollyon. it was worth every penny. I may transform it once more for my girlfriend but that's about it. that's what pictures are for.
I just saw your comment on Facebook and i wanted to thank you here as well. Among all the reviewers out there, i am extremely grateful that you watched mine and found it helpful. It really means a lot!
Excellent, in-depth review Optibotimus! I love the fact that you use the translation app to summarize the jpn text since I'm sure many of us can't read it. It seems the only bad thing about him is the price. I'm more of a Galvatron fanboy, but hopefully everyone who gets him can enjoy the definitive Megs. Happy Easter!
Thanks for the comprehensive review and translations of the manual. keep it up optibotimus!
Long Life Design is an award that the Masterpiece line won to represent how long it ran. Think of this as how long the X-Men or MCU franchises lasted long.
As for Megs, I'd like to have a variant with a shiny silver paint job, a remolded neutral head with lightpiped eyes, an alternate Marvel Comics head with yellow eyes, and a handle that goes on the fusion cannon so he can hold it on his hand.
Thank you optibotimus. Great review. I would be lost without your instructions on the transformation
I've heard that this version of Megatron transforms in 107 steps. Damn
use the hair blow dryer in high hot setting to remove the orange plug from the silencer. try to cover all areas around the tip. heating up a minute each area. then remove the plug.
Very good videoreview! For me is the best megatron I have seen, but some people complaint about the price and quality paint but I think its an awesome transformer!
I forgot if I've commented here before but thank you so much for your videos, especially this one! I appreciate the effort you put in your videos such as transforming the figure both ways. In addition, its wonderful that you keep making videos despite how busy your life has gotten. I've been watching ya since 2011 (when I returned to the franchise) and intend on continuing to do so! Thank you!
A toy is only as good as the channel it's on! Thanks Paul!
Also, for those outside the USA, all toy guns must have a blaze orange cap on the end of the barrel or silencer/suppressor.
before MP36 came out in heard the DX9 Mitron looked the best. but now this one rocks. I can't wait to get this Megatron.
I think the blast effect sound in the fusion canon is how it should be for Japan, in America, the sound was just a Hanna-Barbara sound effect that was tweaked around with. It’s likely the Japan import of the show didn’t have that sound because of copyright, so a new sound was put into place.
Been looking at what is the best Megatron figure, they normally have thin legs but this one looks impressive. It's a shame it's a little expensive for me at this time, but it will be mine one day! Thanks for the video!!
Wow Opti...your freaking me out with using that tool for the "Barrel section" transformation. Next time, rotate the barrel to the right and behold the magic, it just pops up and frees those side sections. So much easier, and safer!!
At 29:34, Don't use a flat knife or anything else. Just pull/rotate the gun barrel and the top halves will separate easily.
Megatron's smiling because he's glad That he gets to be a part of your collection.
Great review as always!!! I got mine, and I have to say this is a wonderful Masterpiece.
Fantastic review my friend! was wondering when you were going to review this bad boy! lol he looks absolutely amazing! I just may have to pick him up over at TFCon this year! I love how G1 accurate he looks! Job well done as always! 5 stars all the way! *****! :)
I've had him for over a week. But with my other job, i've only had 2 hours or so every night to do work on him. Which for a video that's over an hour long, you can imagine how long it took me to get it done. This weekend, i was able to do more work cause i was off. But it still took an ungodly amount of time to finish lol
Yeah I can imagine! lol
It's been 10 years, but the wait has been worth it. Now for G1, I don't mind Megatron's gun mode. Obviously, now a days, it's goofy. A lot of people agree he should be a tank. However, I feel as if Animated, got it right, with the Osprey, like helicopter. For example, for the Autobots, most of the team consists of cars. While the leader is a truck. So for the Decepticons, the team mostly consists of jets. So the leader would be, a military helicopter.
And I thought my Unique Toys Mania King was a complicated transformation. Holy crap. Really awesome engineering creates a dope looking Megatron. As much as I want it, I can't justify the price for it.
That is one amazing figure 😱😱 love the review 😃👍🏻 great work as always.
Appreciate the thorough video, sir. I will be using this to help with transformation when I get him this week.
I have this on the way from BBTS... I'm super excited but also terrified to mess with it.
That is some fantastic engineering.
Nice vid Optibotimus. I think it was worth the wait.
Great video. I have been looking forward to the review of this figure for a very long time. 😃
finally, optibotimus review MP36 Megatron
I do believe that the thickness of Despotron fits better with the thickness of the Optimus Prime, but overall this fits the cartoon aesthetic and scale more....
This was a very highly anticipated figure and it has finally been released!! I'm so excited to be picking this up online
That transformation is real complex.... I LOVE IT! It's a real masterpiece (wink wink) and such a contrast from the regular lines' oversimplified transformations. Regardless of how effective such transformations may be, I personally prefer my transformers to be a bit of a puzzle. Anyone agree?
is it my tablet or is it his camera when he shows that the hammer on the gun mode it lags at like 19:00
Camera
Same, also when he retracts the cannon/sight for robot mode.
Yea your right
Hey I am going to follow you
Not in a stalking way in google + way
Wow! simply... Wow!!! I mean, how can anyone do any better for a MP Megatron?! Very impressive! As for the "possible" breakage of some of the parts, I agree with Paul, you gotta be delicate with it, it's not a toy and you shouldn't force it or you will damage it. That was a looonngg video, but worth the wait, excellent review! (Cue Megatron's evil laugh!)
Thanks optibotimous. A part of mine broke off but this video helped me fix it.
One of the voice samples, "You will going to be my servant!", was used in Galvatron II (replacing Decepticons, transform! Transform!).
"Decepticons, transform! Transform!"
"Bwa ha ha ha! You despicable fools!"
"Grah, I'll destroy all of you!"
"Hrr, pulverize the Autobots!"
"You're all pathetic!"
(And yes, read these in Frank Welker's voice. In Galvatron's case, it's Leonard Nimoy (RIP).)
A near-2hr video review? Hottdamn, sir. I don't think you've something like this in a long while.
I get to pick mine up later this morning! Can't wait to see Megatron up close!
I am getting in this October and I cannot wait I feel like I’m gonna explode from it
Fucking finally, Optibotimus, I cannot begin to tell you how long I've waited for this.on a side note, wish Creeps McPasta well, his house was recently robbed, and he's having a very rough time...
i think this is the best megatron they ever did and i want to get it keep up the good work
What I would really love to see is G1 Seeker changing into Cybertronian Jet.
matthewakian2 yes I've really wanted that design please takara
Pretty please. I'll throw a prayer in their too.
matthewakian2 amen
Kingbotz did one: Sunstorm Tetrajet Rainmaker.
YES SUNSTORM IN HIS CYBERTRON SEEKER MODE 😫😫
What an epic, beautiful review of MP36 Megatron! Thx!!
Never understood why some people thought or would think Megatron was taller then Optimus Prime. Back in the old G1 days Prime and Megatron were parallel equal to each other (Height, Size, Strength) , with the only difference between the two were their personalities.
The moment I saw the orange tip, my heart kinda died. But hey, if that's what it takes to get an accurate representation of Megatron, it's not that bad of a sacrifice
"You could totally walk around with this and confuse people"😂😂 i lol so hard optibotimus!
The torso collapses into the waist a wee bit to fill in the gap between those grill/ab pieces (you can see at 41:33)and the waist.
I love hour long reviews from you
Awesome thanks again for the video review Optibotimus it is awesome and amazing I love that new toy thanks.
I remember MP-1 being about £80 / $100 back in the day. £170 / $230 seems way too much for this. I guess I've got to think of it as a one-off that I might not get the chance to buy after the pre-order..
awww, when you were demonstrating articulation by getting Megs to do the splits, it reminded me of Glen Webb when he did that with Marvel's action figures. RIP, dude
great review optibotimus you did the best review yet professional and well done thank you.
When you've grown up with the live-action Transformers movies and have no idea what Optibotimus is talking about.
EDIT: I've now seen the G1 movie, and have a much better understanding of the original Transformers cartoon.
Heat the tip of the silencer up with a hairdryer and then pull with pliers. It makes it easier from what I've heard.
LongLife Design is an award they won for the TF Art. It will be on all the boxes for the next year.
Best MP Megatron ever!
1 John 4:16 you get it yet?
Thank you brother! Your videos make it so easy! Your the man!
Thank you for the translation on the box! GREATLY apprecated
everyone has their own beautiful look
This is awesome. I only hope it's still available by the time I have the means to get it...otherwise I may have to settle for one of the third party options, or worse, hunt down the Hasbro Combiner Wars Leader class one.
Use a blow dryer for the orange plus it works trust me it might take you a couple times but it'll work
Great review Paul, the best one for this figure out there. Maybe a couple of hours a day is the way to go?
I was waiting this review! Great review :) Paul, what about your work? I thought you were going to do reviews less, but you still do them one by one )))
I'd like to think I'm a beautiful collector. I try to watch the fatty foods, drink less beer, ect. I even go to the gym every now and again. And I love you Paul.
finally a proper Masterpiece Megatron pity they didn't put Frank walkers voice in the gun instead that would have put this figure over the top for sure top review as Always
till all are one
I can't understand english. But thanks to you, I could understand
how to transform MEGATRON.
I suspect the fusion cannon sounds like that would be because it...might be too hard to have the more iconic THOOM sound come out of the sound box, either that or its a mistake
my jaw dropped over this figure
C'mon where's masterpiece galvatron at? we need him! takara, hasbro! get on it!
This mold is too complex for Takara to not double-dip with his OG toy colors (red legs, swirly pattern on chest) kinda like they're doing with Optimus Primal...at least I hope so
Thats the weirdest car I've seen
You gotta stop with the silencer when there’s resistance!
Also, how did Brawn survive this "nuclear fusion cannon", but got killed by Starscream? That's confusing.
I love it, it's probably one of the best Megatrons that we got in awhile however for the price it's a bit much then what I could afford, but I figured I would wait for an American release I just want the Frank Welker voice
You could wait forever, America doesn't do realistic gun toys anymore
"It's over, prime."
NEVER!
To all of you that have this figure. There is no reason you should have any scuff marks on the gun barrel. If you look at the stock there is apart we're the tip goes in that shifts 45 degrees. This allows the barrel to fully go in without any harm
Maybe reprolables will come out with a battle damage sticker set for this guy
Finally got this yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised to find that both orange plugs were just placed in the barrels with no glue whatsoever. Defect or feature? 😅
3:51 "it's over, prime."
maybe you could clear coat the tip of the muzzle to prevent scrapes
