Megatron's backpack isn't supposed to be his jetpack, it's just his tank kibble that's supposed to be part of his design. His jet pack was destroyed in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene during the Iacon race. Also, the tank treads are indeed separated into two different sections in the movie tank design.
My g, I don’t mean to be rude but WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN, I just watched one of your old digimon videos last night wondering if you had any new reviews, imagine my luck finding you in the damn comments this morning 😭 I hope you’ve been great these past months
Indeed I did allude to the fact that I knew it was just supposed to be his regular backpack a bit later in the video, but I didn't make that clear. That was mostly just an excuse to do my little rant on the movie jet packs, which I had been meaning to do for a while. And in the movie they start running long before the loss of the jetpacks in the tunnel. Hell Pax looses his jetpack because he's riding on a guy who doesn't want to be ridden. RE-EDIT- I didn't forget to record the part I thought I did, I just forgot where I included it in the video. It's while I'm talking about the head.
I think the triple barrel was a trade off: faster fire rate for less damage. Also you gotta consider that Orion got a huge buff, I doubt that cannon would have done much either.
plus, i bet the Matrix would protect its user from even the most powerful of weapons. i headcanon that Sentinel killed Nexus Prime first, and used Nexus' laser rifle to kill Zeta because he knew his regular sword wouldn't quite cut it against the Prime. he had to use the weapon of a true Prime. the rifle had the strength to launch Solus into the air and impale her on a dead Quintesson's limb. from what i remember the fusion cannon didn't hit Optimus quite as hard
Two things about the back kibble: 1: it's not the jetpack, since it's there on him in the film. 2: I think they ended up losing the jetpacks in the race, though I'm unsure on that. Edit: just remembered that the backpack detaches to recreate the scene where where Optimus rips it off and hits Megatron with it before he reattaches it. Still annoying, but makes sense.
That was just an excuse to do the rant on how the jetpacks stopped working in the movie. I allude to the fact that I know they are different during the discussion of the head.
Also, about the Fusion Cannon thing. The reason why the triple barrel one didn't scratch Optimus Prime, is because Prime was stronger, not that the gun was weaker.
It's not his jetpack. it's literally just his backpack. You can see it when Prime tells Megs that he's banished. His jetpack was knocked off his back when he got knocked off the track during the race.
Ngl I loved his design, also his alt mode looks awesome whether it's weak or not ALSO This fusion cannon with 3 barrels, TOOK DOWN A GIANT SENTINEL STATUE IN ONE GO, while this one barely destroyes a pillar, also ig they just wanted to show how "protected by the matrix" prime was in the film and that his upgrade was worth it
I’m pretty sure the only reason D-16’s fusion cannon was able to pull off a shot strong enough to rip through Orion was because he was charging up his fusion cannon without any interruptions. It’s something that you sometimes see with sci-fi energy weapons; charging up the weapon yields a more powerful shot as opposed to firing without charging up. Plus whenever Megatron got a shot off with his triple-barrel fusion cannon against Optimus, Optimus either transformed his head away or was blocking the shots with his Energon axe. The only time the triple barrel fully connected against Optimus was when Megatron was trying to stop Optimus from using his flamethrowers, at which case Megatron was too preoccupied in stopping the flame attack to try and charge up the cannon for a more powerful blast. Any other time Megatron fired at Optimus was when he was using his tank turret or using the gun on his left arm. So we never got to see the full damage the triple barrel could do against a Transformer. But the damage the triple barrel was doing against the statues of Sentinel, of which were also metal, should definitely still be taken into account. Though If we do end up getting sequels to TFOne I’m certain they’d show characters getting killed by the triple barrel (unless there’s a design change), thus ending the argument of which fusion cannon is stronger; at which point the argument would only be about fusion cannon design preference.
Perspective, I finally watched TFOne the other day. I agree with your criticisms on the pacing, but dear god after Bayformers its god tier. Favorite part was when Megatron said "Its time to mine" and threw Sentinel into the nether
Their jet packs get blown up in the Iacon 5000. They realize their jet packs arnt fast enough so they start hoping on the racers. When Orion is kicked off his pack falls off and explodes. Then d-16 gets hit and his pack falls off the edge before he is caught by Orion
Am I the only one who can't help but see Thanos in his face? I just can't unsee it. This Megatron looks like he's trying to collect colorful stones for his gauntlet.
I just realized, there are quite a few bots from TF0 who are totally and truly cooked. By this I mean that they will not be welcomed by either Autobots or Decepticons: -Arachnid was loyal to Sentinel Prime, who both Optimus and Megatron fought to defeat and cannot be trusted because of how she knew everything and looked the other way. -Darkwing bullied both Optimus and Megatron when they were miners, while you could make a case for Optimus being forgiving, Darkwing beat up on smaller bots.
Oh for sure. There's also going to be this weird thing with all the Cogged bots where it will be like "Did they know, and how complicit were they?" Cause like... Some of them have to be older than the end of the war right? How do they square how people suddenly stopped having cogs?
@PerspectiveEnd I would imagine that you could call the miners the "working class" of cybertron, and Sentinel and the Elite Gaurd as the ruling class. Like, I can imagine anything other than enforcers would be woefully ignorant of it all, because it was a mixed bag. There were alot of autobots in the icacon 5000 and a lot of Decepticons.
His backpack is not a jet pack. It’s just his backpack from the movie. You can see it in the final fight. Also d-16 with a cog also has the same backpack.
I still love both Optimus and Megatron, but I agree that they should've been voyagers. There were definitely compromises made on both to fit them into the deluxe pricepoint while also making them big.
This is one of the best Megatrons in a deluxe scale, for once a tank in this scale doesn’t feel compromised. Also Perspective, are you scared at they let Que “GrampsJack” out as an SS figure?!
The triple barreled one took down an entire giant ass statue. The reason it didn’t really affect Prime was because he was Matrix Powered. Also, the jetpacks were destroyed. Thats Megatrons regular backpack from that scene where Prime tears it off to hit him with it.
The Jetpacks were not destroyed by the time they started running. And sure it destroyed the statue, but there's no proof that the normal one wouldn't have done that. There is proof that the normal one will instantly blow apart a cogged bot.
@ Yeah, but that was when he was still D-16 in his cogless body. This figure is based off his cogged/Megatron body, where he had the backpack. There’s no proof that the triple barreled version CAN’T oneshot a cogless bot. We only saw it used against Optimus Prime, who was powered by the matrix.
For some reason, the one time Megatron transforms after his upgrade, his vehicle mode doesn’t change from what it was prior, and that’s likely why they went with this particular fusion cannon for the accessory.
WHY do they keep doing hot rod shoulders anyway? Those like barely worked for hotrod. Did they forget they engineered the cyclonus shoulders and they can still use engineering like that?
this figure's head reminds me of earthsparks Meg. also, bout to "erm ackchually ☝️🤓" but, Napoleon wasn't short, he was actually kinda tall for his era, it's just that british propaganda used the fact he liked having tall bodyguards around him as a way to slander him (he had a thing for tall people in general, where he'd often give them preferential treatment, situation got so out of hand the average height of the french actually decreased for a short while, cause all the tall the tall people kept being enrolled in the military and ended up dying)
I'd say right now there's not a Great Option for that. The 86 figure may wind up being what you are looking for but it's not out yet. Your best choice right now is probably the siege version.
Long after they started running. In fact it's precisely because they are running, that happens. Optimus is riding on a dude who is annoyed at him for doing so, and hit's him causing the backpack to come off.
There's a really cool pretender megatron custom by id.armed using this mold, and having the knees painted a different color than the shins really makes the legs look more proportional
@@PerspectiveEnd I watched the scene again, the two instances they were on foot despite having their jetpack on were; 1. When they needed to make a jump and freefall downward. (When Dee says "I can't believe we're not in last place") The other bots who had alt modes behind them (including dark wing who does have a jet mode) decided to run to the road's edge on foot because the race's guide arrows told them to go down rather than just keep flying forward, and jumping off into flying downwards is more controllable and follows the race arrows (you could argue Dee and Orion could have used their jetpacks to go down faster but they needed to land on their feet to land and slide with speed anyway) 2. When they were in the small tunnel that had the closing holes. D said "we're not fast enough" which was accurate even with them flying with the jetpacks at the start of the race, nearly all the transformers were out speeding them while they were flying. Combine this with the tunnel being small (and therefore cramped with both flyers and rollers that could crash into their *slower selves*) it was faster for them to taxi off of other transformers, after which Orion lost his jetpack, then they both ran on foot to time their jump through the closing doors, and then d16 lost his from the green dude diving into him
The jetpacks got knocked off during the Iacon 5000. Orion's literally exploded in the tunnel during the race and that's why D-16 had to catch him. D-16's got knocked off right after that and that's why they didn't use them anymore until Orion joins the fight with the Miners at the end of the film. D-16/Megatron has that backback in the film the whole time but it is not the same part as his jetback which Orion attaches to him before the race.
I keep wanting to buy a copy of this just so I can paint the hips/crotch black and abs silver with red sides to show off how much less awful that would make it look, then have to remind myself of now many actually interesting toys are due to release in the next year to spend my money on, instead of a custom project next to no one will see, no one at all will care ab out, and that I literally already have ten other toys sitting in the packages waiting to get started on customs that I actually want on my shrlf as more than a "take that!" like a BB Movie Arcee to TF:Animated Lickety-Split and Siege seekers in the conehead trio's colors.
I mean the question is would that make YOU enjoy the figure more than one of those other figures you can buy, regardless if anyone else appreciates it?
@@PerspectiveEnd Probably not? It can be hard to say... the question I usually ask is "will I kick myself a year from now for not picking one up?" For the Newage not-Voyager not-Megatron "Regulus" now on preorder, that was a solid yes, for 86 Magnus I thought it was a no between CW and Siege but it turned out to be yes. For ths guy... I do really like the movie, and I know the all-legs look that fuels my first-glance "mah" on this guy would be considerably mitigated by pulling the waist down visually with the black at the hips instead of the abdomen, and maybe some silver on the feet too, but... it becomes a "maybe" but in a year of "must have" that's a weak position, you know?
You don't remember what god tells all at birth? "Make sure Perspectives news video's are all outdated the moment they release, and you won't burn in hell."
Cut his shins in half and you'll have a guy with slightly longer than average legs. Also as an update on the spinister comment, I found that highbrow's guns are a closer gray and provide some landing gear with enough finnegling.
I think they should have made his torso longer, not made his legs shorter. Do you know who those guns go with better though? Triggerhappy. Why deprive Triggerboi of his dakka?
I know why his face looks familiar, it looks very much like the puffy Earthrise head that was down right awful, this can sort of pass thanks to better shaping of the helmet.
No... No... Do you not know what Rochambeau is? Rochambeau is trading kicks to the dick until someone falls down. Rock Paper Scissors has nothing to do with it.
His fusion cannon 100% got stronger and to argue it didn't is really weird. His first cannon shot a pillar and blew a bit of when his larger gun blasted entire statues apart easily. The reason it didn't explode Optimus was to show how strong a Prime is. I feel like that's pretty obvious.
Honeslty. I am holding out hope there will be a Takara commander Megatron figure made to go with that commander 'Optimus prime the brave one' figure they made.
I think the reason his new canon comes off as weaker is because when he had the singular cannon, he shot Orion, a regular bot, and when he had his triple gun, his was shooting at Optimus Prime, who would have had undoubtedly stronger armour.
2:35 its not the jetpack he has that back design when he gets his cog and when he becomes Megatron. It’s very obvious in that scene where he puts his tank cannon on his back to shoot Optimus.
I am aware. Later in the video when I'm talking about the head, I allude to the fact that I know that. It's just that gave me an excuse to talk about the Jetpack rant I forgot to put in the movie reviews.
I think the 3 barrel cannon is cool And it kind of makes sense that it’s weaker He gave up some power to make it able to fire rapidly And it is still pretty powerful from what we see when he destroys the statues (I’m pretty sure he only used the tank cannon and little gun during the fight with Optimus from what I remember)
I really don't know why they didn't do Prime and Megs as Voyagers, and cogged Orion and D-16 as Deluxes. Like, Sentinel's going to be a Voyager, and both Prime and Megs are _huge_ in the movie.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah, makes sense I guess, I only ever got Deluxes at most as a kid due to terrible impulse control with my money (I still have that, but now I have more money). Shame we don't have mainline for that... wait.
Just did, nope. They start running they jump off the precipice, dark wing hits them, they complain they aren't fast enough, and start jumping on the other bots in the race, all while still wearing the jetpacks.
@@PerspectiveEnd Okay if you go to this video "Transformers One (2024) | IACON 5000 Race 4K" and then go to the time stamp 2:43, you will see that Orion gets kicked, falls down, and his jetpack falls off and explodes. At around 3:00, someone jumps on D16, and his jetpack flies off and down off the track. After that, their jetpacks are gone.
1:55 . To quote to Gene Wilder. "WRONG SIR! WRONG:" The three barrels fusion Cannon was just as powerful as the original, it took down statues and buildings with no problem, the reason why I didn't affect optimist very much because it's a call back to the G1 cartoon when Optimus first rose in the episode "War dawn" where Megatron shoots Orian pax, just like in the movie, and Orion is resurrected as Optimus prime, in which in the episode Optimus gains temporary immunity to Megatron's fusion Cannon. Turn off three-barrel Cannon could shoot the same concussive blasts that his original, but faster.
Hey, if your still recording for your 86 prime video. Do you think that you can mention using the butterfly joints to bracket his arms out. If it's not a pain for you. It's just kinda funny and reminds me of the tfone prime with the tough guy pose
He looks like stilt man from Spiderman comics. Also heavily agree the 3 barrel wasn't doing it for me. I thought he was gonna have the 3 barrel then switch to fusion cannon
Damn, I should have made that reference. And yes the 3 Barreled version just doesn't belong on Megs's Arm. And same, I thought for sure that was going to be the version he started with then upgraded away from.
The face on this toy kinda reminds me of idw Megatron's earlier design. (The one in the Infiltration/Escalation Era) Edit: Not the helmet tho just the face itself.
4:48 No, those are not supposed to be his little arm cannon. Those oblong guns are meant to come off the backpack and peg into the sides of the tank mode to make it more accurate. Funny that's twice now I've seen a reviewer forget where they're supposed to go and just leave it on the backpack. No offense
Sorry that is incorrect. Here is a picture PROVING that it is in fact the long skinny pipe gun that comes out of his arm. media.discordapp.net/attachments/1018938854062968844/1303888305984901200/image.png?ex=672d641d&is=672c129d&hm=8da8a76e5fe037fdecb81f87f1dbd6420c23f0b145b84b192821a09a50b35fb6&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1202&height=676
3:47 this design of Megatron works more like a D-16 for the Concept Art Bumblebee movie Megatron the same way TFOne Optimus Prime works as an Orion Pax for the Optimus Prime in either the Bumblebee movie or Rise of the Beasts
The tank mode in my opinion looks pretty good. The lack of wheels, the visible head, and the several inaccuracies (such as the tank turret only being filled out HALF of what it should be) are a bit disappointing but it’s still a satisfying alt mode that feels great to hold because it’s so SOLID. He’s definitely the better figure compared to Optimus, it’s no contest.
No they do lose the jet packs at one point in the race. Also holy crap, no the barrel is the mini gun like all the product shots show. The other guns are side guns megs has as D-16. You can see them clear when he rolls up for the first time where they are on the treads.
They lose the Jetpacks a Significant time after they've already started running, and Pax looses his specifically because he was riding on a guy who didn't want to be ridden. Except we get clear shots of it in the movie and it's very clearly the other pipes.
So I actually think the “partsforming piece for this tank cannon” is actually also supposed to be in part a reference to the triple barreled cannon as the design is similar just missing the barrels inside. It makes the Fusion Cannon super long though so even if that’s their intention, eh. I rather just keep it as the normal Fusion Cannon.
I am very confused with how the legs came out to be way too fucking long. In the promotional pictures, but even worse in real life…… how does this figure do that?
@ I mean, I think the Earthrise figure (I assume that’s what you meant) looks slightly worse, since that is voyager sized, and I feel it’s a little bit more noticeable
Thank you, and if we are talking on Story and Voice Acting, probably like an 8 and a half, would make for a great audio show, based on style and animation, I gotta drag it down to a low seven.

During the scene where sentinel has captured Megatron when he’s getting back up after he was punched you can see his jet pack on his back
You can always see it after he gets his cog, and it's not a jetpack its just tank kibble
SCOURGE HI BUDDY 👋
@ hi dude
Everyone thinks that it is his jet pack but it is actually his tank turret compressed in his robot mode, glad to see it on the toy!
the jetpacks are shown to blow up or get knocked over the edge of the road i believe during and after the tunnel i believe
its very much a blink and you'll miss it, i only know this happened because i've watched it like 7+ times already, but even then i barely remember
Yeah I watched both jetpacks come off
Two things about the back kibble:
1: it's not the jetpack, since it's there on him in the film.
2: I think they ended up losing the jetpacks in the race, though I'm unsure on that.
Edit: just remembered that the backpack detaches to recreate the scene where where Optimus rips it off and hits Megatron with it before he reattaches it. Still annoying, but makes sense.
Yeah the jetpack gets destroyed in the race
The jetpacks broke in the scuffle.
Its not a jetpack
Its just a backpack that he gains after his first cog upgrade
That was just an excuse to do the rant on how the jetpacks stopped working in the movie.
I allude to the fact that I know they are different during the discussion of the head.
I! Am! LEGATRON!!!!
Also, about the Fusion Cannon thing. The reason why the triple barrel one didn't scratch Optimus Prime, is because Prime was stronger, not that the gun was weaker.
That line was almost perfection, if only Brian T. Henry hadn't have said Megatron so fast. That's the only issue I have with the delivery of the line.
It's not his jetpack. it's literally just his backpack. You can see it when Prime tells Megs that he's banished. His jetpack was knocked off his back when he got knocked off the track during the race.
I am aware, it was just an excuse to do my rant about the Jetpacks stopping working in the movie that I forgot to put in my two reivews.
I would adore a voyager of this design
Tfo has my absolute favourite version of a regular megatron
Ngl I loved his design, also his alt mode looks awesome whether it's weak or not
ALSO
This fusion cannon with 3 barrels, TOOK DOWN A GIANT SENTINEL STATUE IN ONE GO, while this one barely destroyes a pillar, also ig they just wanted to show how "protected by the matrix" prime was in the film and that his upgrade was worth it

It was perfect
I'm so happy to hear that. And Yeah I totally get it. Like in spite of it's problems it puts the Bay movies in the ground.
Their jet packs get blown up in the Iacon 5000. They realize their jet packs arnt fast enough so they start hoping on the racers. When Orion is kicked off his pack falls off and explodes. Then d-16 gets hit and his pack falls off the edge before he is caught by Orion
Perspective's age is getting to him
@@Zane_Is_Insane this is the most I’ve seen him get wrong so far. Like I don’t know how he missed it? Just google the scene or look up pictures.
Am I the only one who can't help but see Thanos in his face? I just can't unsee it. This Megatron looks like he's trying to collect colorful stones for his gauntlet.
I just realized, there are quite a few bots from TF0 who are totally and truly cooked. By this I mean that they will not be welcomed by either Autobots or Decepticons:

Nah, I think triple cannon looks even more cooler and awesome. And something new in him at least.
They might’ve had to bump Megs up to a voyager if they’re able to include it with this toy?
His backpack is not a jet pack. It’s just his backpack from the movie. You can see it in the final fight. Also d-16 with a cog also has the same backpack.
the long leg
the leg long
long the leg
for some reason it reminds me of that stealth bomber Megatron if they replaced the bucket with the new version
I can kind of see that yeah.
When Megatron never Skipping Leg day
“My, my, Megatron! Such long legs you have!” “The better to kick you with.”
Here let me just get my tread out so I can do it right.
The more I look closely at the face the more my brain just morphs it into Michael Jackson with the skinny nose and large enough eyes

*MINERS*
I still love both Optimus and Megatron, but I agree that they should've been voyagers. There were definitely compromises made on both to fit them into the deluxe pricepoint while also making them big.
But I don't even think these are big. They both feel pretty damn small.
@PerspectiveEnd I meant big by modern deluxe standards, like the Siege van mold or the Decepticon double targetmasters.
I don't think Megatron's cannon got weaker. Optimus just got stronger.
So much stronger, that Megatron getting stronger can't even hurt him?
If that's the case then how did Vector Prime the previous Matrix holder die?
@@PerspectiveEnd it was zeta prime, and he got shot with a gun bestowed to another prime by primus.
This is one of the best Megatrons in a deluxe scale, for once a tank in this scale doesn’t feel compromised. Also Perspective, are you scared at they let Que “GrampsJack” out as an SS figure?!
The triple barreled one took down an entire giant ass statue. The reason it didn’t really affect Prime was because he was Matrix Powered.
Also, the jetpacks were destroyed. Thats Megatrons regular backpack from that scene where Prime tears it off to hit him with it.
The Jetpacks were not destroyed by the time they started running.
And sure it destroyed the statue, but there's no proof that the normal one wouldn't have done that. There is proof that the normal one will instantly blow apart a cogged bot.
@ Yeah, but that was when he was still D-16 in his cogless body. This figure is based off his cogged/Megatron body, where he had the backpack.
There’s no proof that the triple barreled version CAN’T oneshot a cogless bot. We only saw it used against Optimus Prime, who was powered by the matrix.
For some reason, the one time Megatron transforms after his upgrade, his vehicle mode doesn’t change from what it was prior, and that’s likely why they went with this particular fusion cannon for the accessory.
WHY do they keep doing hot rod shoulders anyway? Those like barely worked for hotrod. Did they forget they engineered the cyclonus shoulders and they can still use engineering like that?
The problem is that they keep wanting to have the rotation in the shoulder and the hinge in the torso because they keep forgetting to design it right.
@ Hasbro forgets to design almost everything right 😭
I think the 3 barrel blaster isn't hurting Optimus to show that he's Optimus Prime and not Orion Pax. He's stronger and has the power of the Matrix.
But Megatron is also Supposedly more powerful now. And if the Matrix makes Optimus that Powerful how did Zeta Prime die to a regular cogged bot?
@@PerspectiveEndbecause sentinel was using nexus primes gun to kill zeta not his own gun
Orion's jetpack was blown up and D dropped his off the track after getting hit by a racer.
That's LONG after they started running for no reason.
Oh my bad, it's been a while since I saw the movie. Great review as always btw.
I don’t know why they made these figures so tiny when they are technically taller than the bayverse which got much larger figures before.
I'm not sure that's true. I think that the Scale chart we are seeing go around isn't official.
Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends is for the real ones
Only for the oldest and lamest of us CN Fans.
We need a leader class of this megatron. I dont want to wait 5+ years for a third party version
Or at the very least a Voyager Class one.
this figure's head reminds me of earthsparks Meg.
also, bout to "erm ackchually ☝️🤓" but, Napoleon wasn't short, he was actually kinda tall for his era, it's just that british propaganda used the fact he liked having tall bodyguards around him as a way to slander him
(he had a thing for tall people in general, where he'd often give them preferential treatment, situation got so out of hand the average height of the french actually decreased for a short while, cause all the tall the tall people kept being enrolled in the military and ended up dying)

If I had to choose to get a Megatron figure which one should it be?
I want something that can really interact with deluxes and some voyagers.
I'd say right now there's not a Great Option for that. The 86 figure may wind up being what you are looking for but it's not out yet.
Your best choice right now is probably the siege version.
1:11, I loved watching Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. Also, I have this figure and I love it!!!
Me too! Although i dont have this figure yet :/
3:21 Better ingredients, better pizza. Papa Jon’s
I almost made that joke in the video.
NOOOOOOOOO
In the race both of their jetpacks get knocked off their backs. Its kind of like, an integral part of the scene.
Long after they started running. In fact it's precisely because they are running, that happens.
Optimus is riding on a dude who is annoyed at him for doing so, and hit's him causing the backpack to come off.
The backpack is removable to replicate the scene where Optimus rips it off in the final fight.
the legs on this figure could rival Takara’s Adventure Optimus Prime
Damn you right!
I love the tripple barrel cannon, but Sarcasticly: Thanks for making me notice it's weaker
The thin cannons don’t go on the sides of the turret, but the pegs on the sides of the treads. Thats how he looked in the movie
2:39 Orion and the miners use jetpacks in the final fight to help the seekers
There's a really cool pretender megatron custom by id.armed using this mold, and having the knees painted a different color than the shins really makes the legs look more proportional
What do you mean by a Pretender Megatron? Did Megatron have a Pretendor shell? I've never seen that.
Remember....if it took more than one shot, you weren't using a Jacobs!!
2:55 Orion's jet pack was knocked off and exploded when they were in that tunnel, then D's jetpack was also knocked off.....
But they were already long since running at that point.
@@PerspectiveEnd I watched the scene again, the two instances they were on foot despite having their jetpack on were;
1. When they needed to make a jump and freefall downward. (When Dee says "I can't believe we're not in last place")
The other bots who had alt modes behind them (including dark wing who does have a jet mode) decided to run to the road's edge on foot because the race's guide arrows told them to go down rather than just keep flying forward, and jumping off into flying downwards is more controllable and follows the race arrows (you could argue Dee and Orion could have used their jetpacks to go down faster but they needed to land on their feet to land and slide with speed anyway)
2. When they were in the small tunnel that had the closing holes. D said "we're not fast enough" which was accurate even with them flying with the jetpacks at the start of the race, nearly all the transformers were out speeding them while they were flying. Combine this with the tunnel being small (and therefore cramped with both flyers and rollers that could crash into their *slower selves*) it was faster for them to taxi off of other transformers, after which Orion lost his jetpack, then they both ran on foot to time their jump through the closing doors, and then d16 lost his from the green dude diving into him
The jetpacks got knocked off during the Iacon 5000. Orion's literally exploded in the tunnel during the race and that's why D-16 had to catch him. D-16's got knocked off right after that and that's why they didn't use them anymore until Orion joins the fight with the Miners at the end of the film. D-16/Megatron has that backback in the film the whole time but it is not the same part as his jetback which Orion attaches to him before the race.
I personally like the tank design - it reminds me of early WWI tanks - but I get why people don't like it.
I mean I can kind of see it, save for the fact that it actually has a rotating turret, which only the FT17 really did back in the day.
He looks like Legs-go-all-the-way-up Griffin
I keep wanting to buy a copy of this just so I can paint the hips/crotch black and abs silver with red sides to show off how much less awful that would make it look, then have to remind myself of now many actually interesting toys are due to release in the next year to spend my money on, instead of a custom project next to no one will see, no one at all will care ab out, and that I literally already have ten other toys sitting in the packages waiting to get started on customs that I actually want on my shrlf as more than a "take that!" like a BB Movie Arcee to TF:Animated Lickety-Split and Siege seekers in the conehead trio's colors.
I mean the question is would that make YOU enjoy the figure more than one of those other figures you can buy, regardless if anyone else appreciates it?
@@PerspectiveEnd Probably not? It can be hard to say... the question I usually ask is "will I kick myself a year from now for not picking one up?" For the Newage not-Voyager not-Megatron "Regulus" now on preorder, that was a solid yes, for 86 Magnus I thought it was a no between CW and Siege but it turned out to be yes. For ths guy... I do really like the movie, and I know the all-legs look that fuels my first-glance "mah" on this guy would be considerably mitigated by pulling the waist down visually with the black at the hips instead of the abdomen, and maybe some silver on the feet too, but... it becomes a "maybe" but in a year of "must have" that's a weak position, you know?
You don't remember what god tells all at birth? "Make sure Perspectives news video's are all outdated the moment they release, and you won't burn in hell."
I don't know why that became a part of every major religion.
The borderlands gun references tickled my brain. Thank you
Cut his shins in half and you'll have a guy with slightly longer than average legs.
Also as an update on the spinister comment, I found that highbrow's guns are a closer gray and provide some landing gear with enough finnegling.
I think they should have made his torso longer, not made his legs shorter.
Do you know who those guns go with better though? Triggerhappy. Why deprive Triggerboi of his dakka?
I know why his face looks familiar, it looks very much like the puffy Earthrise head that was down right awful, this can sort of pass thanks to better shaping of the helmet.
I never picked that figure up so I feel like that can't be it, because I wouldn't be familiar enough with it.
This MF really called in Rochambeau instead of Rock, Paper, Scissors
No... No... Do you not know what Rochambeau is?
Rochambeau is trading kicks to the dick until someone falls down. Rock Paper Scissors has nothing to do with it.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah, that makes a bit more sense. I don't think I have heard it used in that context before. The more you know, I guess lol
The two words I'd use to describe the alt-mode are 'glass cannon'.
It's a thin-looking canon on two massive long threads.
The Jetpack got hit and messed up so they couldn’t fly anymore
Think the tank mode is based on tfp shockwave’s.
It wouldn't surprise me if that was the inspiration.
The tank cannon tip stores inside the backpack to clean up the look a bit
His fusion cannon 100% got stronger and to argue it didn't is really weird. His first cannon shot a pillar and blew a bit of when his larger gun blasted entire statues apart easily. The reason it didn't explode Optimus was to show how strong a Prime is. I feel like that's pretty obvious.
I _would_ save my money if I wasn’t an absolute completionist.
Understandable.
Honeslty. I am holding out hope there will be a Takara commander Megatron figure made to go with that commander 'Optimus prime the brave one' figure they made.
You know what would be funny is if they made a commander of the previous version of him, the one for whom this cannon would have been appropriate.
I think the reason why he looks skinny is because of the legs and the body being to small
Who has the better handled arc. Orian pax or d 16
D16 without question, even if it's a bit rushed.
Tbf, Armada Megatron lacked a traditional fusion canon and was still a force to be reckoned with
Here me out. What if Megatron had legs for days?
You mean like Earthrise Optimus?
Yeah...
You Mad Genius!!!!
I call him Super model Megs.
Makes sense, though his cannon in that mode isn't very super.
I enjoyed that borderlands reference
I'm glad to hear it. How'd you feel about the Foster's Home one?
I think the reason his new canon comes off as weaker is because when he had the singular cannon, he shot Orion, a regular bot, and when he had his triple gun, his was shooting at Optimus Prime, who would have had undoubtedly stronger armour.
2:35 its not the jetpack he has that back design when he gets his cog and when he becomes Megatron.
It’s very obvious in that scene where he puts his tank cannon on his back to shoot Optimus.
I am aware. Later in the video when I'm talking about the head, I allude to the fact that I know that. It's just that gave me an excuse to talk about the Jetpack rant I forgot to put in the movie reviews.
I think the 3 barrel cannon is cool
And it kind of makes sense that it’s weaker
He gave up some power to make it able to fire rapidly
And it is still pretty powerful from what we see when he destroys the statues (I’m pretty sure he only used the tank cannon and little gun during the fight with Optimus from what I remember)
I really don't know why they didn't do Prime and Megs as Voyagers, and cogged Orion and D-16 as Deluxes. Like, Sentinel's going to be a Voyager, and both Prime and Megs are _huge_ in the movie.
That would have made so much more sense, but yeah they stuck with them like this, cause I guess they wanted them to be more affordable for kids.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah, makes sense I guess, I only ever got Deluxes at most as a kid due to terrible impulse control with my money (I still have that, but now I have more money).
Shame we don't have mainline for that... wait.
2:34 rewatch the race scene because, Orion's jet pack explodes, and D16's falls off the track down to the lower levels of cybertron.
Just did, nope. They start running they jump off the precipice, dark wing hits them, they complain they aren't fast enough, and start jumping on the other bots in the race, all while still wearing the jetpacks.
@@PerspectiveEnd yea, they said they arnt fast enough even with the packs.
@@PerspectiveEnd Okay if you go to this video "Transformers One (2024) | IACON 5000 Race 4K" and then go to the time stamp 2:43, you will see that Orion gets kicked, falls down, and his jetpack falls off and explodes. At around 3:00, someone jumps on D16, and his jetpack flies off and down off the track. After that, their jetpacks are gone.
Thanks for the review I'll save my money then
There are better figures to get right now.
Unrelated advice for the inevitable 86 Optimus review: his 90 degree elbow bend will look more natural if you bend the arm backwards
1:55
. To quote to Gene Wilder.
"WRONG SIR! WRONG:"
The three barrels fusion Cannon was just as powerful as the original, it took down statues and buildings with no problem, the reason why I didn't affect optimist very much because it's a call back to the G1 cartoon when Optimus first rose in the episode "War dawn" where Megatron shoots Orian pax, just like in the movie, and Orion is resurrected as Optimus prime, in which in the episode Optimus gains temporary immunity to Megatron's fusion Cannon. Turn off three-barrel Cannon could shoot the same concussive blasts that his original, but faster.
Hey, if your still recording for your 86 prime video. Do you think that you can mention using the butterfly joints to bracket his arms out. If it's not a pain for you. It's just kinda funny and reminds me of the tfone prime with the tough guy pose
This whole "transformers one food memes" is what's really baffling.
Barely anything to do with the video, but that's just because I don't have anything to say about it.
He looks like stilt man from Spiderman comics.
Also heavily agree the 3 barrel wasn't doing it for me. I thought he was gonna have the 3 barrel then switch to fusion cannon
Damn, I should have made that reference.
And yes the 3 Barreled version just doesn't belong on Megs's Arm. And same, I thought for sure that was going to be the version he started with then upgraded away from.
The face on this toy kinda reminds me of idw Megatron's earlier design. (The one in the Infiltration/Escalation Era)
Edit: Not the helmet tho just the face itself.
Well, every character in tfone has long legs.
Not quite this long.
@@PerspectiveEnd yea
4:48 No, those are not supposed to be his little arm cannon. Those oblong guns are meant to come off the backpack and peg into the sides of the tank mode to make it more accurate. Funny that's twice now I've seen a reviewer forget where they're supposed to go and just leave it on the backpack. No offense
Sorry that is incorrect. Here is a picture PROVING that it is in fact the long skinny pipe gun that comes out of his arm.

3:47 this design of Megatron works more like a D-16 for the Concept Art Bumblebee movie Megatron the same way TFOne Optimus Prime works as an Orion Pax for the Optimus Prime in either the Bumblebee movie or Rise of the Beasts
The tank mode in my opinion looks pretty good. The lack of wheels, the visible head, and the several inaccuracies (such as the tank turret only being filled out HALF of what it should be) are a bit disappointing but it’s still a satisfying alt mode that feels great to hold because it’s so SOLID. He’s definitely the better figure compared to Optimus, it’s no contest.
For once my wild anxiety waking me up earlier than I have to has rewarded me. I get to see a PE upload right at the start!
No they do lose the jet packs at one point in the race. Also holy crap, no the barrel is the mini gun like all the product shots show. The other guns are side guns megs has as D-16. You can see them clear when he rolls up for the first time where they are on the treads.
They lose the Jetpacks a Significant time after they've already started running, and Pax looses his specifically because he was riding on a guy who didn't want to be ridden.
Except we get clear shots of it in the movie and it's very clearly the other pipes.
He has Swamp Thing face!
A bit yeah.
I don’t think I will get ANY of the Transformers One SS figures if they keep putting in the minimum effort into these figures like they are right now.
Yeah, to be fair I dont think people are buying them also because so few have actually seen the movie.
7:19 i have high expectations for sentinal tru- i mean prime's figure, having a super mode nowadays is very rare unless you're a leader class
I dont thing that super mode looks all that super though.
@@PerspectiveEndno but at least it’s THERE. And it still looks good
Megatons face looks like the beast wars one but by an ai
I don't quite see that, I think this is more like the face off the Cyberverse guy.
@ it must be the eyes that are making me feel like it looks like beast wars megs
I feel like if the tf one line had them be voyagers instead of deluxes the figures would be proportioned better
For sure I think that's one of the main thing holding these figures back.
So I actually think the “partsforming piece for this tank cannon” is actually also supposed to be in part a reference to the triple barreled cannon as the design is similar just missing the barrels inside. It makes the Fusion Cannon super long though so even if that’s their intention, eh. I rather just keep it as the normal Fusion Cannon.
This is the same inaccuracy as Earthrise Optimus. There needed to be a clear demarcation between the crotch and the rest of the legs.
I mean that's one instance of it.
thumbnail and tile made me cries laughing, nah.
I am very confused with how the legs came out to be way too fucking long. In the promotional pictures, but even worse in real life…… how does this figure do that?
I don't know, but it's like witchcraft. I think it looks less terrible than siege prime though.
@ I mean, I think the Earthrise figure (I assume that’s what you meant) looks slightly worse, since that is voyager sized, and I feel it’s a little bit more noticeable
Perspective this isn't related to the video which is pretty good BTW but what would you rate tf animated out of 10
Thank you, and if we are talking on Story and Voice Acting, probably like an 8 and a half, would make for a great audio show, based on style and animation, I gotta drag it down to a low seven.
Okay but you gotta respect the weapons forming the tank turret
Yoooo I adore the Borderlands reference you threw in when talkin bout Megatron’s Cannon
