Remember that Emgo went through THREE different third party dotm megatron transformations. One of them being ALIEN ATTACK. If he doesn’t deserve our kudos for that, he doesn’t deserve anything.👏👏
33:13 When it cuts to all three of them transformed and lined up like that, my jaw literally dropped. I can't imagine transforming all of them just for a scene that didn't even last for a minute, this guy's effort is insane.
Everytime I watch you seamlessly transform these figures, looking like you just knew how to going in, I get reminded and amazed at the level of patience it probably took to do this the first few times to get the steps down. If that were me I'd be cussing around after awhile, lol. It always amazes me the work you put into these for us. Thank you! (Especially these 3rd party ones when you said often times they dont even come w transforming instructions!)
I mentioned this on Ben’s review. You can actually store the gun holster quite snugly inside the back of the truck cab between the seats. You want to point the diagonal tip vertically downwards with the single eyelet side to the back. It also helps to fill out the hollowness of the cab from below. It’s one of those situations where it clearly wasn’t intended, but works so well it feels almost like it was. Then that’s everything stored in alt-mode. 😁
Personally I love the look of this guy. I think TLK is peak Megatron design and I have a great figure for that version and I’m still tempted by this guy. Honestly Emgo I think you’re the reason A LOT of transformers fans hold hobo megs near and dear to their heart so who better to judge a figure.
This guy seems to be a prime example of how to do a long and complex transformation without it becoming one of 'those' transformations. Been holding out on getting a 3p dotm megs for awhile now. The AA one is one of 'those' so it was out, the UT one seems decent overall, and a good pick if this one is a tad too expensive for you, but I always thought it felt a bit 'off'. Looks like this one may end up being this year's Xmas present to myself. Thanks for the review EmGo! Tho I'm sorry it meant you had to go thru transforming the AA one again...
I've always kind of hated all the Bayverse Transformer designs, especially Megatron and Strascream, but this guy is awesome. I can definitely see myself getting him.
This guy looks absolutely amazing. Love the paint and details on the figure. Really feels like DOTM Megs. He's very tempting. But the transformation looks like a chore. I get why it's needed, but it just looks like it takes up a tone of time. Still, amazing figure and really good video. Love your stuff Emgo!
We have only got the basic dinos and battle worn green Devi from New Age. Selective in what we buy. This one, though. Just wow! Great review as always. Thank you ... ❤️🙏❤️
I have this figure on its way from the show z store. I'm excited to get it! Looks like a better transformation than the alien attack figure for sure, though alien attack does let the truck pivot in vehicle mode, so there is that advantage
I'm a big Newage collector..Have their DOTM Sound wave and a couple dozen of their other bots.Man I want this sooo bad.Might be my bday gift to myself.And figures like this really make me appreciate the Bayverse designs.Say what you will about the media.There are some great figures.
I've spent a lot of time looking at the DOTM model from the movie. Alien Attack's truck mode and transformation (for better or for worse) are the closest to how it's depicted in the film, along with the robot mode's overall appearance. However Newage's robot mode proportions are the closest of the three. Your mileage may vary.
Bruh why is he so pricey? I guess thats the trade off for better quality. Ill have to invest for this guy. So far I like what im seeing and I never thought Unique Toys would get bested!
I absolutely can’t wait until I get this next year ever since I have seen the reviews for it it’s a definite yes for me the only thing is the holster for the shotgun it’s a little problem but manageable with the chain I’ll just have to be careful 😎
So am I going crazy or is this like the 11th Masterpiece-style third party DOTM Megatron figure? Don't get me wrong, they're all stellar pieces, but at this point I'm really starting to question my own sanity, because last I checked there were five Micheal Bay Transformers movies, and yet all other versions of movie megatron have gotten two non-mainline figures each.
Probably a unpopular opinion but still can’t stand the “bay-verse” designs of all the movie Transformers, although they did make them better looking in Bumblebee and Rise of the beasts, but still not a fan. Cool toy though.
Sucks I already have the UT version... If I didn't have it I'd pick this up, but at 300 bucks I can't justify double dipping rn. Might pick up the inevitable KO, but then I lose the quality of the original release.

I wonder if the figure was named DUEL based on the truck from a horror movie called Duel
It's definitely that. That movie was directed by Spielberg
Yes it is, as I mentioned above. It wasn't a horror movie. It's was a chase/suspenseful movie from the 70's.
Good point... 🤔😁
@@syafiqjabarit was the very first movie directed by Spielberg, right?
For sure it is I reckon

3:38 It looked like Megatron said that squirrel took my burrito!
You could say that the box is
DUEL SIDED
ba dum tss
OG DOTM megs will be always be part of ours hearts and souls that’s how long I’ve been watching you over the years

emgo transformed alien heart attack on this review for us, my god emgo.
"Hobo robo with a shotgun" is something I never expected to hear
Ironic that the NewAge has the largest figure out of all 3rd party SotM Megs.
Seems like they don't miss on both Legends and MP scale. Impressive.
Honestly, if I didn’t see the JTI get posted, would have assumed this didn’t transform
I've always kind of hated all the Bayverse Transformer designs, especially Megatron and Strascream, but this guy is awesome. I can definitely see myself getting him.
Now that is an impressive figure. Newage knows what they’re doing!
Would love you to show us your entire collections from day1
Why does the UT version look like it was hauled out of a lake? 😂😂 It's so, so green.
Sony from TMReviews has a pretty tutorial in his review on how to attach the chain.
Watching this transformation, my mouth just kept dropping at the engineering
This guy looks absolutely amazing. Love the paint and details on the figure. Really feels like DOTM Megs. He's very tempting. But the transformation looks like a chore. I get why it's needed, but it just looks like it takes up a tone of time. Still, amazing figure and really good video. Love your stuff Emgo!
Yeah it took me about 2 hours to transform the first time, and still about an hour now that i know it
That is an awesome looking Mega....er Duel. Looks like a heavy figure.
Man that transformation looks real smooth despite being real long. I legit want this thing. It is black MAGIC. Can't wait
I find it intersting this might be the first time a 3rd party company uses the japans name for the decpticons
I just found out that apparently Igor is actually Long Haul's decapitated head
We have only got the basic dinos and battle worn green Devi from New Age. Selective in what we buy. This one, though. Just wow! Great review as always. Thank you ... ❤️🙏❤️

I was hoping Megs would whip out the shotgun and aim it Starscream's face.
The dreaded DreamStar toys is making a Devastator that doesn't look like a nightmare. Hope you'll review the scrapper release.
Been watching your channel since your rid2015 reviews. Always makes my day when you drop a new video. Here’s to the next 10 years
Thanks! I appreciate it.

Awesome review buddy as allways cart wait for your unique toys review of skids aka Dumb. Also this megatron wow he's freaking amazing 😊
didn't expect you to review this figure, always enjoyed when you uploaded❤keep it up and do more third parties please!
This is surprisingly easier than I was expecting to transform. I might get this.
Hey emgo.. been watching you for a while now. Greetings from Nicaragua!
Edit: amazing transformation
Awesome! Thank you!
Bruh why is he so pricey? I guess thats the trade off for better quality. Ill have to invest for this guy. So far I like what im seeing and I never thought Unique Toys would get bested!
cant wait mine to arrive soon. hope the panel joints are sturdy enough
I absolutely can’t wait until I get this next year ever since I have seen the reviews for it it’s a definite yes for me the only thing is the holster for the shotgun it’s a little problem but manageable with the chain I’ll just have to be careful 😎
"SPARE ME you gaseous sycophant!"
I just got this figure a few days ago and that chain is a complete nightmare to get on him properly
Nobody’s giving emgo credit for putting himself through the alien attack transformation for the review
A true hero 😅
"All Hail Megatron"
How do you feel about those tiny spring leg joints that control practically the whole leg? Do you feel like they'll resist stress and breakages? 20:52
I see no issues with them
This is nearest comparison to a prime1 display!! ❤️
... the fact that my only criticism is the lack of a swivel in the truck mode says volumes
god i wish i had money
Hey emgo the transformation it's Very easy. James Moses Jr
I didn't think it transformed until you started doing it. The robot mode was just that good.
That looks amazing. I mean it really does look fantastic.
Looks amazing but that price is a little spicy.
I think this is my favorite bayformer megs. Is there any version of this megs where the truck can pivot at the trailer?
jeez hes a beefy boy in both modes
Looks like I gotta find a way to sell my UT megs now
Me: he is the bad guy, why you like it so much
Also me: its SO COOL
So am I going crazy or is this like the 11th Masterpiece-style third party DOTM Megatron figure? Don't get me wrong, they're all stellar pieces, but at this point I'm really starting to question my own sanity, because last I checked there were five Micheal Bay Transformers movies, and yet all other versions of movie megatron have gotten two non-mainline figures each.
You're going crazy. There's effectively just the 3, barring a few repaints from Unique Toys.
This is an expensive boi, but he does look better than others
Fr..Show Z has it for $289.00 USD.I can only imagine what it's going for through BBTS,Chosen,or TF Source.Show Z is the way to go IMO .
@jaysonlee4394 TFSafari has it for the same price and you can use my discount code 😁
Since I already have the UT, sadly I can't really justify the price of this one, if I manage to sell the UT, I'll probably get it
Just got my hands on this guy so this video was just in time😁
All hail the Beefy Burrito Lord!!!
3:33
He didn't say "Squirrel" 😢
Fr😂
I still find it funny that 3rd party companies are making better transformers than hasbro and takara
These are getting too expensive for me
Once they started to cost over 150 I was done
Whats your favorite megatron design from transformers 2007 to transformers one
Man, I feel tired after that transformation
dotm megatron: THIS IS MINE PLANET!!!!
(megatron beat the shit sentinel prime)
No contest, no contest...
I was waiting for this video
All hail megatron! 🤟🏻
Why didn't Newage make mpm megaton from the first transformers movie
The trailer tanker cant rotate from the truck in vehicle mode, right?
no, it can't rotate.
Damn it i though he's Huel
Probably a unpopular opinion but still can’t stand the
“bay-verse” designs of all the movie Transformers, although they did make them better looking in Bumblebee and Rise of the beasts, but still not a fan. Cool toy though.
This is witchcraft!!
You see the new Unique Toys Optimus? Any thoughts?
Looks amazing
G1 Grimlock:"Studio Series Superior! Newage Inferior!"
Newage DUEL:"I'll rip Your head-off!"
Hey whats crackin emgo
There was really no need for an Alien Attack comparison imo, but that’s why yr awesome haha
Dude!!! How Many Megatron do you need??? You have like tons of Megatron 😅
Amazing ❤
Amazing
Sucks I already have the UT version... If I didn't have it I'd pick this up, but at 300 bucks I can't justify double dipping rn. Might pick up the inevitable KO, but then I lose the quality of the original release.
What is the obsession with making his head too big?
Hiiiii!
Does anyone here know a shop or a company who can manufacture or make a custom made transformer model/toy
Guys any one who has a 3d file of Unicron grom Haslab?
$290.
Huh. Somehow I feel it’s better than Unique Toys?? Interesting 🤔
🎉✨🎉✨🎉✨🎉✨
Sweet lord the size of him >.>
Origami.
13:19 the middle one will always look like puke green to me
Keep up the good content! :)
