I love how his jet mode looks so much bigger and more intimidating compared to Optimus’ truck mode, but in robot mode they’re just about the same size. Really adds to his character
A great new-ish take on Megatron! I really love the fact that his jet mode only features similar colors to his G1 gun mode, but the robot mode is nearly identical to his G1 look! And the fusion cannon is properly big!
I like to think that the G1 Cybertronian jet modes have cockpits because those are actually eyes (or, at least, where their heads end up), so they can actually see where they’re going while flying around.
The jet mode looks absolutely perfect for megs! I also love how it looks like you could deploy the cockpit pieces on his arms to form arm-mounted blades reminiscent of his TFP design!
Two months ago I built a revising of Megatron, and yes he’s a gun. The transformation and robot mode have quite a few differences from the classic version, and he stands a minifig above my medium sized characters like Starscream and Optimus. If I ever make videos, he’ll be one of the builds I would happily showcase.
That's the coolest thing I've ever seen for G1. The robot form has some amazing details that would have been awesome to see in cartoon form. Well done 👍
Jet mode has hints of Cybertronian Animated Megatron and I love it. And of course keeping his extra barrel to keep the silhouette while radically changing his alt mode is amazing. I hope the Studio Series one does that. I know it'll have an accessory to be handleheld Megatron to recreate scenes where he's fired at the Autobots. And that's all we should need.
I've always preferred jet megatrons and a G1 version is one I've always hoped would be done! All the gun details make this even better than I'd imagined and i love it!
AWESOME This jet mode reminds me of the Bayverse jet mode but with G1 colors, and fusion cannon, and less spiky, but still seems something G1 would have done
The tank is used because it's a high power vehicle, something Megatron has grown to be focused on. Animated and Prime were my childhood so I do prefer the aerial Megatrons thanks to nostalgia.
I know the faux gun barrel on the shoulder is iconic, but you could probably attach it to the Fusion Cannon as some kind of focusing muzzle device. Reduce the FCs rate of fire, but the energy is more condensed leading to more powerful shots
The alt mode reminds me of the tfp one with the nose cone of the talk one, and if you make a starscream in this scale give him megatron gun mode, just because it’d kinda funny.
4:45 scene I'm not disappointed, I'm really loving the jet mode it really is a good design and then transform into robot mode, I really love your idea dude very awesome!
This looks a lot like the 2007 jet and the fact that he's almost a 1:1 for the classic G1 robot makes him look all the better. The gun placement reminds me of the TF: Animated design and also the A-10 "Warthog". Very cool design.
For some reason this kinda resembles bayverse megatron from the first movie, Good job mate! Also i just realized that the autobots are regular vehicles (well they can be military sometimes) and the decepticons are straight up jets, tanks, and army trucks.
It looks like a Klingon Bird of Prey! Also, G1 is great but in terms of toys actually making sense and playability I think Meg’s should totally gel without “mass shifting”. Amazing design!!
I was initially disappointed in your decision to not build the gun mode, but just to be sure I searched your videos and you did build a gun mode in #96.
I'd say the canon is reminiscent of a gun and the wings kind of have a similar silhouette of a gun handle split in two parts, so I say the gun DNA is still in there 😁👍
Personally, I do think making him an artillery cannon would be a more fitting replacement for the old gun mode, but this just looks sleek! Though maybe a bit lacking im fire power personally, as Energon is my favourite flying alt mode Megatron had.
I like to think g1 megs doesn't bother with earth modes. I know he gets revived into an earth vehicle by teletran but he also goes back to Cybertron in the episode space bridges appear. I like imagining he quickly switches back to a cybertronian vehicle.
Awesome build! If you like Megatron with Flying alt modes, have you ever considered building Megatron from TF Earthspart? I also love how He was handled as a character in the first season.
I've never particularly liked the idea of Megatron being a tank, and much prefer him having a flying alt mode. So if modern Megatron can't be a gun, this is the perfect alt mode for him imo!
I can’t wait to see what Hasbro will do for SS86 Megatron. Will they make him a gun for the first time since 2007 for accuracy? Or make him a tank for licensing?
The only thing I can say is, I am upset. I did not think of this myself when trying to make an overload type of transformation I will be using this for my own personal needs such as making a toy for my own personal transformational use and a super mode for my Optimus prime
Ah! He's been upgrade with tougher armor so he can go up against Optimus and nearly withstand the energy blasts from the fusion cannon that Optimus stole from him! How is that?!
I love how his jet mode looks so much bigger and more intimidating compared to Optimus’ truck mode, but in robot mode they’re just about the same size. Really adds to his character
Robot mode is awesome
Jet mode is cool too, but it had so many gun references that I thought you'd show a surprise gun mode in the end
Maybe you can slap together a pseudo gun mode
Yea it feels like 50% there already
I'm old fashioned. Megatron mode was a gun. Sorry.
@@russrandall4834 I mean, if you think about it a gun genuinely makes no sense. You're telling me he actually TRUSTS his army enough to use him well?
beautiful, jet mode looks perfect
But in G1, Megatron was a gun.
Fr
@@RogerMollet Are you deaf? He literally says in the video he didn't want to go through the process of making the gun again
@@RogerMollethe said at the beginning why he didn’t
A great new-ish take on Megatron! I really love the fact that his jet mode only features similar colors to his G1 gun mode, but the robot mode is nearly identical to his G1 look! And the fusion cannon is properly big!
I like to think that the G1 Cybertronian jet modes have cockpits because those are actually eyes (or, at least, where their heads end up), so they can actually see where they’re going while flying around.
I really hope we see more of your original takes on existing characters! They're easily my favourite videos of yours!
The jet mode looks absolutely perfect for megs! I also love how it looks like you could deploy the cockpit pieces on his arms to form arm-mounted blades reminiscent of his TFP design!
Finally. Non-gun G1 Megatron that isn't a tank.
Two months ago I built a revising of Megatron, and yes he’s a gun. The transformation and robot mode have quite a few differences from the classic version, and he stands a minifig above my medium sized characters like Starscream and Optimus. If I ever make videos, he’ll be one of the builds I would happily showcase.
Genuinely one of the best smaller scale transformers I’ve seen. Truly amazing.
A great take on megatron, taking away the mass shifting and making the original design work, great job
That's the coolest thing I've ever seen for G1. The robot form has some amazing details that would have been awesome to see in cartoon form. Well done 👍
I think I prefer your ''MOC MOC''s than your movie MOCs.
Do not forget what you can do so much more than movies❤
Reminds me of the various Bird of Prey ships from Star Trek. Pretty slick jet and robot.
Absolutely perfect! Love the jet design. I'm also partial to flying Megatrons
Jet mode has hints of Cybertronian Animated Megatron and I love it.
And of course keeping his extra barrel to keep the silhouette while radically changing his alt mode is amazing. I hope the Studio Series one does that. I know it'll have an accessory to be handleheld Megatron to recreate scenes where he's fired at the Autobots. And that's all we should need.
The cockpit kibble could also be like flip out melee weapons in robot mode.
I've always preferred jet megatrons and a G1 version is one I've always hoped would be done! All the gun details make this even better than I'd imagined and i love it!
Now you just need to make him for your custom universe.
For the moment we can act like this is his custom universe Megs.
AWESOME
This jet mode reminds me of the Bayverse jet mode but with G1 colors, and fusion cannon, and less spiky, but still seems something G1 would have done
He would never have been a handgun in Cybertron so this works as well as the tank alt mode - which imo has been done to death.
The tank is used because it's a high power vehicle, something Megatron has grown to be focused on. Animated and Prime were my childhood so I do prefer the aerial Megatrons thanks to nostalgia.
Tbf the tank fits him well-it’s big, bulky, and has a nice place for him to use his arm cannon.
I know the faux gun barrel on the shoulder is iconic, but you could probably attach it to the Fusion Cannon as some kind of focusing muzzle device. Reduce the FCs rate of fire, but the energy is more condensed leading to more powerful shots
G1 megatron looks awesome as a cybertronian jet
As for the cockpit, it's important to remember that there may be smaller Transformers who will need a ride, like Headmasters and Titan Masters
Another banger, beautifully done
" You can't stop me now Prime, I'm Bird of Prey CERTIFIED!"
For those who don't get the joke, his alt mode reminded me of a bird of prey from star trek and i took the eggman forklift meme and combined them.
Well now we just need to see how you'd do your own version of megs..... Here's hoping the vehicle mode is a helicopter like in Animated
I thought this was that version, anyway I hope so too!
you really knocked it out of the park dude
Gives off the vibe of TFP Megatron in G1 style. Great work!
The alt mode reminds me of the tfp one with the nose cone of the talk one, and if you make a starscream in this scale give him megatron gun mode, just because it’d kinda funny.
I was gonna complain that he isn’t a helicopter like in TFA, but after watching the video, I’m glad you made a jet. It’s perfect!
Plot twist: The real reason he didn’t make his gun mode was in an attempt to dodge demobilization xD
Hell yeah! Your builds never cease to amaze me bro
3:54, Arm blades?
That leg transformation would be perfect for a character like Brainstorm
4:45 scene I'm not disappointed, I'm really loving the jet mode it really is a good design and then transform into robot mode, I really love your idea dude very awesome!
This looks a lot like the 2007 jet and the fact that he's almost a 1:1 for the classic G1 robot makes him look all the better.
The gun placement reminds me of the TF: Animated design and also the A-10 "Warthog". Very cool design.
Your videos are such a wonderful moment of joy in my weeks. Thank you for these.
I love it when people take inspiration from both g1 and movie verse
To quote old Buckethead himself "I would've waited an eternity for this"
Love how you did the chest, head and legs. Looks dead on.
That’s a weird looking gun. /j
All jokes aside, thats actually a cool altmode for Megatron. Botmode, too. Great job, STSC!
For some reason this kinda resembles bayverse megatron from the first movie, Good job mate! Also i just realized that the autobots are regular vehicles (well they can be military sometimes) and the decepticons are straight up jets, tanks, and army trucks.
Ngl, I thought at first glance that you made him into that jet which was built around an already made gun. It's a perfect idea!
This is good I love that the cockpit becomes elbow spikes
It looks like a Klingon Bird of Prey! Also, G1 is great but in terms of toys actually making sense and playability I think Meg’s should totally gel without “mass shifting”. Amazing design!!
Now we just need a Megatron for your series of minifig-scale Transformers.
you could fold both wings down and maybe argue that he's a jet-gun-robot triple-changer
Absolutely great. Still super excited for reimagined Megatron to come with rest of the 'cons
jet mod is easily one of the best megarton alt mods ive seen!
0:24 "But to be Frank" the puns write themselves lol
I hope you do the same with more complex bots, like shockwave and such
the whole model looks great, but man those legs are especially nice to me
If you wanna stretch creativity, the nose cone kibble can be arm blades he can use.
for any Star Trek fan, the jet mode looks like a Klingon Bird Of Prey
This isjust as perfect as your Soundwave as a stage one
one thing i would LOVE to see one day is a lego triplechanger
the jet was cool but I was not expecting the robot to be that clean
This looks amazing! Hasbro/Takara should scrap their Studio Series tank Megatron, and use your moc as new inspiration.
Here's a couple of bots I'd love to see you attempt: g1 sky lynx, g1 sixshot, and combiner wars Victorion. Keep up the great work 👍
Seriously, Hasbro, please hire this man.
Wish HasTak went in this direction instead of the lame ass tank. This is one of the best builds you've made
that torso is fantastic!
already smashing the like button just from the legs
That's a darn beautiful robot mode
This looks like if Megatron's alt mode from 2007 was implemented onto G1 Megatron
I was initially disappointed in your decision to not build the gun mode, but just to be sure I searched your videos and you did build a gun mode in #96.
The robot mode looks epic!
I always thought cockpits on cybertronian alt modes was where the bot would see out of. They still need to see while driving don't they?
Honestly i always rationalized the cockpits in cybertronian alt modes as where the transformer sees from.
I'd say the canon is reminiscent of a gun and the wings kind of have a similar silhouette of a gun handle split in two parts, so I say the gun DNA is still in there 😁👍
the cockpit kibble on his arms could be blades of some kind
yooooooooooooo that is dope.
Especially the fusion cannon
Personally, I do think making him an artillery cannon would be a more fitting replacement for the old gun mode, but this just looks sleek!
Though maybe a bit lacking im fire power personally, as Energon is my favourite flying alt mode Megatron had.
I like to think g1 megs doesn't bother with earth modes. I know he gets revived into an earth vehicle by teletran but he also goes back to Cybertron in the episode space bridges appear. I like imagining he quickly switches back to a cybertronian vehicle.
Due to how the fusion Canon is built, you can put a blast effect inside of it
This moc looks so good that it could be official.
That is a good looking LEGO Megatron... Legotron?
The arm kibble could be used as sword blades in robot mode for CQC
Awesome build! If you like Megatron with Flying alt modes, have you ever considered building Megatron from TF Earthspart? I also love how He was handled as a character in the first season.
Personally, I like Megatron turning into a jet or tank better than turning into a random out of scale gun, so I'm down for it.
I've never particularly liked the idea of Megatron being a tank, and much prefer him having a flying alt mode.
So if modern Megatron can't be a gun, this is the perfect alt mode for him imo!
damn good
reminds me alot of his bayverse jetmode
Megatron as a jet/spaceship-thing is cool yeah but I kinda miss his gun mode...
I thought its your reimagined version
I'm so pumped for that
I can't wait for that one
Megatron: Finallyi have gotten what I wanted!
Every megatron toy has a secret gun transformation
I made Mine become a grey truck😂
Now that's a nice transformation
I definitely prefer the jet mode. To me, it makes more sense than a small gun.
I can’t wait to see what Hasbro will do for SS86 Megatron. Will they make him a gun for the first time since 2007 for accuracy? Or make him a tank for licensing?
The only thing I can say is, I am upset. I did not think of this myself when trying to make an overload type of transformation I will be using this for my own personal needs such as making a toy for my own personal transformational use and a super mode for my Optimus prime
G1 Megatron but he's secretly TF Prime Megatron.
I mean...it almost looks like you could just fold the wings down in jet mode to form the handle of a gun.
Why do I think this would be perfect for a reimagination? Like I saw that the legs come from the wings, I thought G1 with movie alt modes
Knocked it out of the park, you cooked
Ah! He's been upgrade with tougher armor so he can go up against Optimus and nearly withstand the energy blasts from the fusion cannon that Optimus stole from him! How is that?!
Cockpit/s on Cybertronian vehicle mode ✖️
Sensors on Cybertronian vehicle mode ✔️
But all you have to do is bend the wings down then you pretty much have his og form he could even be a triple changer
it looks like 2007 animated megatron's helicopter mode minus the propellers
The wings could fold down to become a gun
