I am so hoping they do Soundwave next. Megatron proved how complex Robosen can get with the transformations on these things and a Soundwave that transforms into a working speaker is just too good of an opportunity to pass up.
I have to admit I am slightly disappointed that he doesn’t transform into a gun but to be honest this is infinitely better. Just incredible. I cannot wait to see what they create next!
True, but a tank fits Megatron since it is the alternate mode for most incarnations of the character. Besides, we all knew a Megatron that turns into a gun is never going to happen again due to controversy (as kids would end up getting shot by police if they were stupid enough to have one in public).
Well done getting it done ready for today. Your videos are always a massive help in me deciding what to purchase and it’s great Robosen choose you as an outlet cause it’s pretty clear how honest & genuine you are
In this economy the fact it is the same size and the same price as the first Optimus Prime is not lost on me. Actually Megatron is bigger than Optimus. Already pre-ordered! Simply AMAZING! BTW for me as a G1 fan that extended interaction between Megatron and Optimus was beyond cool. The fact we are at this point with technology where these robots can interact with each other like that while still being able to transform and drive around is beyond mind blowing. Wow!
That block-based action creator reminds me of two things; my brief dip into game development during a college IT course and the game Autonauts, where you program robots to automate a whole crafting industry.
This is a fantastic review, Sixo.🙌 It really feels like Robosen have taken another big step forward with this release, which I didn’t think was going to happen again so soon after Grimlock. Crazy how fast their engineering is evolving.
Great video mate. Really appreciate being able to see all the Robosen characters together in one video. The robotic design on these guys is phenomenal and to see the advancements in technology between Prime and Megatron is quite staggering. Be interesting to see where Robosen are in 10/15 years and the level of robotics they are producing. Boston Dynamics level robotics!
This looks amazing. And I've definitely no problem with the backpack; if anything it nods to the Armada era a bit. It's actually the fusion cannon rear I had to get used to on the vids, but seeing it here in your video really clarifies the built-in design from tank mode and so cements it as genius in my eyes. If I had the budget this is probably the one I'd most likely plump for at this point. Great vid!
I on principle of the thing been hating on robosen releases, but this one is like,,,, genuinely impressive! they have definitely been stepping up their game!
i have pre-ordered this, i have two things that i am not entirely satisfied about: 1) he transforms and faces backwards, just like optimus prime. grimlock is better during transformation because grimlock faces forward. 2) it seems like megatron’s waist cannot turn / move / rotate like optimus prime. that will make him has a lot of limitations during coding certain actions!!!
Visually, this is leagues above Optimus. Optimus looked VERY much like the original mechanical concept we saw for all those years, but Megatron here looks like the designers learned how to Gunpla. It would be awesome if a software patch allowed different Robosen products unique cross interactions, like special lines and actions and responses.
Looks great. Robosen Optimus has taken up pretty much the last bit of display space in my flat though, so don't think I'll be making a purchase, no matter how much I'd like one. One thing jumped out at me though - I wonder why they haven't used the iconic original G1 cartoon fusion cannon sound, despite being able to use all the cartoon music? (I also wondered this with Optimus, they didn't use the very distinctive sounding original Ion blaster sound effect)
We need Robosen Insecticon Bombshell now Not only he would transform into a bug but he would also transform to a helicopter Because every time we get megatron, that he becomes galvatron.We need bombshell now that he would become Cyclonus
Great review. The programming options are mind blowing. Looking forward to seeing how people utilise this. Look forward to seeing it in person at TF Nation hopefully.
I never have the sort of money Robosen toys cost but this is my favourite I've seen and I actually would like a more typical Transformer with the aesthetics. The thing that impressed me right off the bat was the robot fit not being as obvious as most tank-former megs. I don't mind the backpack and like the cannon except it'd be nice if it could shrink more in robot mode, but I fully understand why not with working parts and lights. The only bit I am not in love with silhouette wise is the slightly pointy shoulders but then it does reflect the backpack in a pleasant way so I also don't hate it.
I've said this before but I feel like these guys are going to be amazing in about 10-15 years time. The transformations of Prime etc aren't very dynamic. Megatron is obviously an improvement in that department but once they work out how to properly utilise friction on the feet and how to take advantage of weight, balance and momentum to make a really dynamic transformation these things are going to be mind blowing.
I admit for a “hot second” seeing it was not a fun I was disappointed but glad I finished seeing all your video because you sold me on it, especially the end when you got into the software and the “coding” portion of programming Megatron. I’d get it just for that since I’m a software engineer.
Impressive stuff from Robosen as ever...wonder who they'll do next...? Soundwave (preferably with a working interactive cassette deck of sorts) would be cool, as would Starscream (especially if they can figure out how to make one of these things fly safely...!). Personally speaking, though, I think I'd be most excited to see their take on that turbo-revvin' young punk Hot Rod myself, yes...?
Ok first off, HOLY SHIT THATS AWESOME!!!! Everything about that megatron is amazing, but what really sold me and took it above and beyond is the ability to play out the movie scene. That is mind blowing that that is a feature. Great review, keep up the great work.
Love ya work as always Sixo! Great detailed review. Love this and.i need to acquire this......"Let's Rock" tho should not be there, he would never say that, so cringey. Hope they change it out. Everything else otherwise is great
Excellent review! I can't decide if I want to invest in this thing or not. Yes it's neat and has lots of cool features. But over 900 smackers? How well do these things hold up over time?
Is it weird that, for a split second, I thought it was going to be a G1 Megs? I just had a brief moment of "...now how the hell are they going to pull _that_ off?" Then I saw the image on BlueSky and was like "...Ah! Yeah, of course. Never mind."
Not my preferred alt mode for Megs but I have to say that tank mode does look pretty badass.Great review and a very very impressive release from Robosen 🔥
Amazing is the word. That I've been trying to figure out how I can buy one ever since I just watched your Video. That I might even sell a Kid or a Kidney. Never the less, I want one asap. But convincing my Wife towards a $1000 Toy is the most Complicated.
My one huge concern with these robosen bots is that someday the app will no longer be supported and these guys will become significantly less functional...
I am so hoping they do Soundwave next. Megatron proved how complex Robosen can get with the transformations on these things and a Soundwave that transforms into a working speaker is just too good of an opportunity to pass up.
I'd love to see it too!
What about cassette bots?
If nothing else it's great to see Frank Welker's actual voice in a Megatron piece.
For sure!
Incredible, I can’t even imagine what this would of been like if we’d seen this in 1984, fantastic look at him, thanks Sixo
If you showed this to someone in '84 their heart would explode from pumping that much blood.
Haha agreed
@@SixoTFmegatron robosen is going to kill the humans.
We wouldn’t have all the ‘GUN, NO TANKS’ dialogues and repetitions about why and how Hasbro can never reissue the original toy.
If it were shown in 1984, the advert would say ballistics and missiles sold separately 😂
I have to admit I am slightly disappointed that he doesn’t transform into a gun but to be honest this is infinitely better. Just incredible. I cannot wait to see what they create next!
True, but a tank fits Megatron since it is the alternate mode for most incarnations of the character. Besides, we all knew a Megatron that turns into a gun is never going to happen again due to controversy (as kids would end up getting shot by police if they were stupid enough to have one in public).
Same!
for me it's the perfect marriage of G1 and Bayverse (specifically, the tank mode from the second film). truly a figure for everyone.
Gun won't move around.😀 It would have to be held by user. This is better alternative.
WE NEED A BLUETOOTH SOUNDWAVE THAT CAN PLAY TUNES
That transformation is genuinely satisfying to watch
Right?
Well done getting it done ready for today. Your videos are always a massive help in me deciding what to purchase and it’s great Robosen choose you as an outlet cause it’s pretty clear how honest & genuine you are
That's so great to read, thank you!
Fantastic overview. Especially love the duel between Prime and Megatron.
Thank you!

Pretty great, eh??
It is not the same price though. Flagship Optimus at pre order was $699. This one is 899 at pre order.
@@demonslayer9772 Actually you are right. I guess I was thinking about the re-issue of the Flagship Optimus.
@@SixoTF Definitely. It is a good time to be a Transformers fan if not just a little expensive.
Preorder it now if you must because after the 30-day window closes, it will be $1199.
I see there’s finally some justice for Combiner Wars Megatron.
Great video! It’s a small touch, but I LOVE the glowing purple accents. Very Cyberverse/War/Fall of Cybertron.
Thanks! And yeah, agreed
Agreed! Chefs kiss!
Would love to see how Megatron interacts with the other releases. The teaser showed Optimus but give us Grimlock vs Megs!
There's a bit of that in this...
That block-based action creator reminds me of two things; my brief dip into game development during a college IT course and the game Autonauts, where you program robots to automate a whole crafting industry.
This is a fantastic review, Sixo.🙌
It really feels like Robosen have taken another big step forward with this release, which I didn’t think was going to happen again so soon after Grimlock. Crazy how fast their engineering is evolving.
Thank you! And yes, it surprised me too
Will be interesting to see what they've done for Megatron, Grimlock was outstanding
Hope you enjoy it...
The more I see the transformation, the more it seems to be modeled off the Combiner Wars version.
For sure
Great video mate. Really appreciate being able to see all the Robosen characters together in one video.

Be interesting to see where Robosen are in 10/15 years and the level of robotics they are producing. Boston Dynamics level robotics!

Is there anything ready to buy? I want to buy it now without having to pre-order, please give me the link to the purchasing shop that sells this toy
When Robsen released PRIME, I said: AWESOME! Now all we need is MEGS_
WHOOP! THERE IT IS!!🥳
…Now, give us STARSCREAM!!!
I on principle of the thing been hating on robosen releases, but this one is like,,,, genuinely impressive! they have definitely been stepping up their game!
They have!

Great video! Can you do a dedicated tutorial on how to program megatron and optimus flagship. I never really understood how to program the optimus.
I wasn’t able to fully appreciate the scale of him until I saw him chilling next to The Ark. Good gravy, he’s a biggun!
Haha yeah, I had to put that shot in bc I knew people wouldn't realise without context
Definitely the best looking tank Megatron in both modes. The purple lights are a nice touch.
Basically Combiner Wars Megs on super-steroids!
AMAZING!
Hahaha right
You STILL have the best Transformers content!!! Thank you so much and have a great day

Thanks! And fingers crossed
I think he's delightful, I love him ! I might have to get one for my collection ❤

Some good comments! It defo looks more "Transformery" than previous releases
Fun fact: Grimlock towers over both Optimus Prime and Megatron in their Alt modes. 😊
I've said this before but I feel like these guys are going to be amazing in about 10-15 years time. The transformations of Prime etc aren't very dynamic. Megatron is obviously an improvement in that department but once they work out how to properly utilise friction on the feet and how to take advantage of weight, balance and momentum to make a really dynamic transformation these things are going to be mind blowing.
Tbf I think they already are pretty mindblowing - at least that was my reaction to Megatron - but I agree they will continue to improve
Then they will take over the world hahaha death too the flesh slugs😂
These Robosen fig's don't fit my collection, but I still think they're awesome. The head sculpt on Megs is nigh on 💯 perfect
I admit for a “hot second” seeing it was not a fun I was disappointed but glad I finished seeing all your video because you sold me on it, especially the end when you got into the software and the “coding” portion of programming Megatron. I’d get it just for that since I’m a software engineer.
Oh nice! I think that bit is really important bc otherwise it's potentially a very expensive gimmick
@@SixoTF gimmick or not it’s expensive, LOL.
Having the G1 fusion cannon sound is a nice touch.
For sure
Excellent review, as always!
Thank you so much
Amazing review of megatron, he looks amazing
Thanks!
Impressive stuff from Robosen as ever...wonder who they'll do next...?

amazing review video ... why does Megatron have so many different forms?
Very nice. I was not prepared for how big he is.
Haha right?
I hope he interviews Rob from Robosen!
hahaha OH NO
It feels so good to see Frank Welker voice Megatron after all this time.
Defo
I was hoping to see what it does with the voice command "galvatron"....😅
I have optimus from robosen, and I've pre ordered megatron from game digital in UK.
I wonder if this came out in the 80's how much would it have cost back then
The turret lacking rotation in tank mode is a very disappointing compromise for the transformation.
Excellent work mate, I can't believe he's the size of the Ark! but he looks more Masterpiece than Masterpiece!
Thanks! And yeah, the size is a surprise eh?
“You are either lying or your stupid “
I wished they added that lol
Hmm maybe they did - I'd need to check tbh
I probably would have sold a liver to get one of those in the mid 80s 😂
would have lost my shit if we had this back then 😂
7:40 The Roomba... OF DEATH!!!!!
Haha so true
Great review but not sure if you cover him walking in robot mode
Thanks! And I did: th-cam.com/video/HqZdCoe8Do4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JV2z32CpBzfOpW7K&t=1005
Mini theater is awesome
It is indeed
You need to start your shorts for TH-cam so you can upload your video of prime and Megatron interaction
I was thinking the same!
Will these appreciate in value?
Jobby the hong would happy to hear Frank welkers voice for this model
No doubt
I must have this figure by any means. At any cost! Even if that means eliminating you Sixo.
Oh dear!
The motions are beautiful
Agreed!
Hey look, combiner wars megatron plays with himself!
Haha right
G2 repaint when?
I have no clue how I hadn't even considered this until now
@@SixoTF First thing I thought of as well. I would love to see a green and purple one
Ok first off, HOLY SHIT THATS AWESOME!!!! Everything about that megatron is amazing, but what really sold me and took it above and beyond is the ability to play out the movie scene. That is mind blowing that that is a feature. Great review, keep up the great work.
Thank you, I shall try!
Favorites vehicles for both Optimus prime and Megatron?
Well, truck for OP I guess...
I can't access the EU or US Robosen website. Fail! Hope I'm not being blocked from buying chinese goods?
Looking forward to it mate!
Thanks bud!
@@SixoTF You'll smash it, I have no doubt!
@@CarnageCreations awwww cheers!
I dont even like transformers but im buying this.
Hail Megatron.
I was half expecting the mouth to start moving on this guy 😂
I reckon we'll get to that stage with these!
Hate the arm cannon and backpack..apart from those he looks really good. Not within my price range though.
Fair enough
Grimlock was the standout figure of all these..he is a true G1 Masterpiece.
He's pretty amazing
How do you charge Megatron in tank mode?
I have one and the charge port on in his tank form is underneath the tank in the middle.
Love ya work as always Sixo! Great detailed review. Love this and.i need to acquire this......"Let's Rock" tho should not be there, he would never say that, so cringey. Hope they change it out. Everything else otherwise is great
Haha thanks! Appreciate it
Oh and he’s saying “what’s wrong?”
"what is your malfunction?" would be more like Megs
I misss the gun mode.. hopefully a company out of the united states will create the gun version and we can order it from them instead.
How much where can i get my copy
I thought that the fight was going to be a fist fight.
@MedyRenaldy beli lah bang.. katanya kolektor transformer.. tanggung kali dukit lagi lengkap koleksinya
Excellent review! I can't decide if I want to invest in this thing or not. Yes it's neat and has lots of cool features. But over 900 smackers? How well do these things hold up over time?
Thanks! Hard to say I guess - I certainly get a fair bit of use out of them but everyone's mileage will vary
@@SixoTF I can only imagine the frustration if a servo should wear out or something. What provisions do they make in case a repair is needed?
i like it nice megatron tank....the best
I think Robosen found a better transformation scheme than Combiner Wars OR the WFC Trilogy, Hasbro, Takara, take notes.
Tbf Takara were involved I think
how does the charging look?
Good question - I didn’t cover that! It’s dead easy. The socket is in his backside and he just plugs in and charges pretty quick.
Not me being jealous🥺 I just want one in my hands already
Hope you can get one!
Is it weird that, for a split second, I thought it was going to be a G1 Megs? I just had a brief moment of "...now how the hell are they going to pull _that_ off?" Then I saw the image on BlueSky and was like "...Ah! Yeah, of course. Never mind."
They pulled it off v well imo
Hey mate, absolutely love it!
Thanks!
I think prime might need a rework in robot mode. Megs got more going on.😂
He's defo a step up
Bro, check it's rate 🙊😮
Back then I used to say "one day they'll make Transfomers that transform themselves" ..... Long Live Megatron..
Cmon guys, share the shit out of this review and get Sixo's subs up!
Ha thanks!
Fantastic video
Thank you!
If they do a starscream game over.
If only the logo lights up
This is so cool!
Agreed!
Not my preferred alt mode for Megs but I have to say that tank mode does look pretty badass.Great review and a very very impressive release from Robosen 🔥
Thanks!
I like your channel, I subbed.
Thanks!
@@SixoTF no problem
I wish he'd respond if you called him "Lord Megatron".
I wonder if he can...
@@SixoTF lemme know!
This is the greatest Transformer I've ever seen. The Details, Color his Eyes. And his Transformation tips it over the Top. Ive Gotta get one now.
It’s pretty amazing
