Man, am I ever glad they didn't just sculpt the orange caps on there and leave the end sealed! Would've totally ruined the look! I just love how well this guy complimented the MP10 in your photo at the end! It was like looking at a still from a rerun(not really, but the sentiment counts lol).
I love my apollyon, its the perfect Megatron! It looks sick and it makes an amazing display with the other masterpieces! I dont think MP will be able to top this one with their megatron V2....i just love it, the head sculpt is also amazing, i have absolutely nothing negative to say about it And great review as always shartimus prime!
Addtionally, you can take the Fusion Cannon apart and using some tweezers bend the contact points so that turning the knob leaves the cannon lit. I did that and now Megatron's cannon remains lit until I turn the knob again.
You made some mistakes there: -The orange plug at the black barrel/silencer CAN come off. -The light on the cannon CAN stay lit. Maybe you broke the button when you open it up.
Cool review dude,1 of the reviewers I've been looking forward to on this. As much as I would like to own Apollyon I know I will be frustrated and break him then be pissed off lol. He is pretty good but I just wish it was another 3rd party company that did Megs. I salute u for transforming him and totally awesome seeing all 3 Megatrons in 1 shot.
Wow will there ever be a G1 Megatron figure that isn't a huge, HUGE pain in the ass to transform? I'm glad Megs has been a jet or tank or whatever recently and NOT a gun.
Happy with it, however the left hand does not rotate all the way in. And I'm sure I'm putting all fingers and hand on the appropriate position before rotating. Therefore, it does not connect properly with the other arm and the gun body in gun mode. As a result, no 'seamless' effect, which is a bit disappointing. Have you any thoughts on that?
Man. Your Apollyon has a lot of weird things with it. Like the neck turning on it's own. If you rotate the head backward, it's easier to grab when transforming it back to robot
Hey dude, I got the plug for the silencer off by using a hair drier on it. I held it to the silencer for about 10-15 min about 8-10 inches from it. After that you can use some plyers on it and pull it out with little effort.
This is in my PoL and I am just waiting to click ship! I had to pick up the 3rd party accessory kit for MP-05 just so he could have something to lean on and not fall over on the top of my MP Decepticon Detolf...
This is pretty gnarly man, except he has to many "gripes" but I am not much of a TF collector myself. I would probably be more into it if the awesome figures didn't cost me over 50 bucks on just one figure. I like collecting the little minicons though, so neat and affordable and usually found every where.
I don't know if its only on mine but on the left arm that holds the Canon the red part with the elbow is twisted toward the left side while the red part on the right arm is straight .
Great review, SP. What's your recommendation for removing the right shoulder ball socket? I put mine on as well and it works pretty well, but like you said, when turning the arm that slot comes unhooked very easily. Problem is, getting that replacement socket on the joint was really tough, I'm afraid to break that entire socket just trying to get it off.
I think he orange cap is there because of us laws right? It's so people can know it's a fake gun and not the real thing (But it does ruin the look ...)
I've never like transformers and a real level but giant robots are badass.But the toys do look cool but I don't think I can get into them I worry about braking figures enough as is.I can't imagine getting figures that have little pieces like these.
If you painted the ball in his shoulder with clear nail varnish would that stiffen up the joint enough to be useable? The replacement ball sockets; do they come in the box or do you need to contact the company to request them? Great review as always man!
i`m really interested in this figure but at the same time, i am very worried about it, their are so many tiny and thin armatures on this that it looks very easy to break the whole figure.
I just saw this today at Wal-Mart but it was just the figure and the scope for $40! Man, Like I said before I am not majorly into TF but I am going to get this guy. Help me in on some TF info Shart!
Obviously, this megatron is much cooler than takara's. His appearance is very stout looks like a strong leader. I don't really accept takara's thin megatron. So I wonder the 3rd party making things better than 1st party this time?
Yo dog, I just started watching your review so I'm not sure if you ended up taking off the orange plug from the end of the flash suppressor. But I just put a screwdriver inside and slammed the protruding end on the concrete forcing the cap off. It popped right off since there was only a tiny bit of glue. I know a few people who've done it that way, I did it and mine came off easy and clean. You might wanna give it a try. - Peace
Dude , just grab a rag , an set of plumbers pliers . Wrap the rag around that shitty orange cap , then grab the pliers , an wrap them around the rag ( so you don't scratch nothing ) an twist that thing off. Easy as hell bud .
He looks so good in robot mode but I am on the fence due to the little issues and transformation - MP05 IS the worst transformation in the history of transformers!
One thing that bothers me about the 3rd Party Masterpiece-style Megatron figures is their faces. They look too realistic and not really cartoonish. Especially the lippage. Why do they have lips?
Not having a good experience with this toy. Missing the end muzzle; didn't come in the box, the on/ off on the plasma cannon is fused, and the tap will not click together properly to have a complete transformation. Beautiful in robot mode; and that's how it will stay.
I just bought the same toy and it's a pain in the ass to turn it into gun mode I too am going to keep it in robot form but I rather get punched in the face did the turn this thing back into gun mode just made my ass hurt
They're a lot cheaper than MP-36 Megatron and look a lot better in gun mode. MP-36 looks incredibly broken in gun mode...the robot mode is the only reason to own him. The 3rd party masterpiece figures are generally a 1/3 of the price you pay for MP-36 and much more worth it.
$15 for batteries? where are you shopping, lol... i get Panasonic brand batteries for only a few dollars for a pack.. never seen batteries that small cost $15.. you got ripped off big time
+Geovanni Dileo Because the company that makes these don't have the copy right to use Megatron as the name of the toy, so all the youtubers call apollyon not megatron because that is what the is based on
Starscream91 Loads of people do since the official MP sucks. They can't name it Megatron because of copyright and if they do they'll get sued, but customers can just call him Megatron.
I'm glad this Megatron didn't skip leg day like his MP-05 counterpart. Great video!
Put some floor polish on that shoulder ball joint. That should hold it.
and you transformed him on screen without trouble! i am impressed and its a very impressive figure. awesome review
Looked like when Bee came in, Megs was like "I hate that guy!" Lol
A beautiful figure... a tragically long and complex transformation. Great review.

And great review as always shartimus prime!
Hey Shartimus, I couldn't laughing when you showed not Megatron without his Decepticon logo! LOL
Gregory Petrola ^stop laughing

I got mine today. It's like cartoon came to life.

-The orange plug at the black barrel/silencer CAN come off.

Shin Shun
Wow! Looks deadly in gun mode!
I am tempted to get this!!
Kudos to you for transforming that! I have this I'm never transforming him. He looks so badass as robot mode tho! Keep up the great work!
Cool review dude,1 of the reviewers I've been looking forward to on this. As much as I would like to own Apollyon I know I will be frustrated and break him then be pissed off lol.

Great review buddy , almost as good as mine :P honestly love this guy and seeing your video just reminds me I really need a starscream on my MP shelf
OMG I’m such a fan of you!
Wow will there ever be a G1 Megatron figure that isn't a huge, HUGE pain in the ass to transform? I'm glad Megs has been a jet or tank or whatever recently and NOT a gun.
Amazing looking Transformer! I liked the Offspring reference.=)
"Nifty with the fingering" Lmao
Now we just need a good IDW War Within Megs.

Some figures are just impossible to make as master pieces without some flaws
Barrel extension. the "Silencer" is completely different.
Awesome review man. He will definitely replace my MP-05 on my shelf.
Hey dude, I got the plug for the silencer off by using a hair drier on it. I held it to the silencer for about 10-15 min about 8-10 inches from it. After that you can use some plyers on it and pull it out with little effort.

takara should be coming out with their masterpiece Megatron soon!!
congratulations, you know have one video long enough to qualify as an optibotimus quickie review
i can see how hard this was to review and film,so great work. i can appreciate the effort and love for transformers.
This is pretty gnarly man, except he has to many "gripes" but I am not much of a TF collector myself. I would probably be more into it if the awesome figures didn't cost me over 50 bucks on just one figure. I like collecting the little minicons though, so neat and affordable and usually found every where.
This Megatron is so sick, i love mine. Shoulder ball joints were a bitch to replace. Great review as always!
I don't know if its only on mine but on the left arm that holds the Canon the red part with the elbow is twisted toward the left side while the red part on the right arm is straight .
Is this worth getting while waiting for the Takara MP-36 Megatron?
Great review, SP. What's your recommendation for removing the right shoulder ball socket?

I think he orange cap is there because of us laws right?
It's so people can know it's a fake gun and not the real thing
(But it does ruin the look ...)
awesome review man! you realy work hard on that
Oh my god who knew grandma's could have babies

Great review as always man!
Damn man this shit is dope. I like MP 05 too but not in Robot mode. Def want this one and Transistor. Keep em coming meng.
Awesome review shartimus
great review, just got mine today and I prob wont transform it..... transforming my now sold mp5 was a nightmare I don't want again lol
That thin plastic bar on his back is ridiculous.
I love the original
I just learned of your channel and I'm on board. Fantastic review.
is the figure has good quality becouse I that piece is broken or was that by force
looks EXACTLY like the combiner wars one
Starman Not really.
+Jarmo Verriet robot mode I mean
i`m really interested in this figure but at the same time,
i am very worried about it, their are so many tiny and thin armatures on this
that it looks very easy to break the whole figure.
Great job dude.
LOVE IT , I MUST HAVE
I just saw this today at Wal-Mart but it was just the figure and the scope for $40! Man, Like I said before I am not majorly into TF but I am going to get this guy. Help me in on some TF info Shart!
Ummmmmmmmmmmm what?
Wal mart? Are you sure you talking about the same toy?
honeyhotsauce Haha no. I think it was the Combiner Wars or something. Sorry man I'm not that used to Transformers or they're toylines.
Dam I was like Wal Mart? Show me!! Lol I'm in Canada and only combiner wars are the stunticon cars and that jet and Optimus prime.
It's the "Transformers Generations Leader Class Megatron" and on the packaging it says "Combiner Wars" and they had them on sale for $20 a piece.
Obviously, this megatron is much cooler than takara's. His appearance is very stout looks like a strong leader. I don't really accept takara's thin megatron. So I wonder the 3rd party making things better than 1st party this time?
manciniryan The new MP-36 will be better than this guy.
That piece on his right arm broke off on mine as well. Is there any way to fix it?
does this have the same problems with the waist pin coming out as in the masterpiece version
andy fraser No, because it doesn't transform in the same way.
Mine will not collaps. The last step of transformation... still looks badass in robot mode tho
looks great, too bad there are so many thin panels around.
Great review!

Donprezi WARNING: Mine had too much glue to use this method, and it started to stress the silencer. Your mileage may vary.
Dude , just grab a rag , an set of plumbers pliers . Wrap the rag around that shitty orange cap , then grab the pliers , an wrap them around the rag ( so you don't scratch nothing ) an twist that thing off. Easy as hell bud .
The silver combiner wars Megatron is almost enough to not get apollyon... almost. Despite the fragile nature... I'd never transform him.
Shartimus Prime will you be reviewing the son of batman figures?
I regret passing by this figure sometime ago, huge regret.
It's 💲till available on ebay for a fairly good price.
Nice review but I just cannot enjoy this Megatron. I tried hard but no go.
reat review bro, I love that silver finish!
He looks so good in robot mode but I am on the fence due to the little issues and transformation - MP05 IS the worst transformation in the history of transformers!
Are u going to get the dc collectibles batman arkham knight figures
One thing that bothers me about the 3rd Party Masterpiece-style Megatron figures is their faces. They look too realistic and not really cartoonish. Especially the lippage. Why do they have lips?
Muy Bueno!
Very good Review! Just curious, do you have the Transformers Classics Megatron that was based off of a Nerf gun?
Seeing the bad quality of this guy I might be passing on scourge and cyclonus (andras and eligos) after all.
NICE REVIEW
Why where you at the gun shop?
I order two cause I don't wanna transform him. Second one will be transform into gun mode and stay as gun mode
We know witch one he's going to use if some one robs his house. And I don't me rob like the name rob and no it isn't Opposite Day
cool
Got to work on your trigger discipline sir!!! Great vid man!! Always entertaining keep doing your thing!!
How much and where can I get one
Not having a good experience with this toy. Missing the end muzzle; didn't come in the box, the on/ off on the plasma cannon is fused, and the tap will not click together properly to have a complete transformation. Beautiful in robot mode; and that's how it will stay.
damn i want this guy
HELP ! Appolyon or Mightron????
I have the fig love it sooo much wife is jealous
Why not just paint the orange tip black on apollyon?
I think it's for people to know it's a fake gun and not the real thing, Us laws
On the extended barrel you can but on actual Megatron barrel its silver and would look of of place.
I just bought the same toy and it's a pain in the ass to turn it into gun mode I too am going to keep it in robot form but I rather get punched in the face did the turn this thing back into gun mode just made my ass hurt
Best shit ever
3erd nice video
Ppl are saying is crap breaks in the middle and bad QC bad sanding job
@ 19:36 thats what she said lol
first on everything
Is it "Appoyon"? Or Apollyon is correct jk the Latino in me
I love the details but I'm still iffy about third party transformers. For the price you pay I'd be incredibly angry if a part of it broke.
They're a lot cheaper than MP-36 Megatron and look a lot better in gun mode. MP-36 looks incredibly broken in gun mode...the robot mode is the only reason to own him. The 3rd party masterpiece figures are generally a 1/3 of the price you pay for MP-36 and much more worth it.
Repro labels my man
YOU REALLY DONT LIKE GUNS HUH
Wait. Why is he Apollyon
William Tomasini Third Party can't name him Megatron because then they'll get sued.
$15 for batteries? where are you shopping, lol... i get Panasonic brand batteries for only a few dollars for a pack.. never seen batteries that small cost $15.. you got ripped off big time
Don't judge me I thought megatron transformed into a plane😦😦😦
are you indian or italian, or way off?
Why do you call them like not Megatron when it is
+Geovanni Dileo Because the company that makes these don't have the copy right to use Megatron as the name of the toy, so all the youtubers call apollyon not megatron because that is what the is based on
LordWellington35 What do you mean it lost all of its appeal?
Starscream91 Loads of people do since the official MP sucks. They can't name it Megatron because of copyright and if they do they'll get sued, but customers can just call him Megatron.
Lol
Should of made him out of metal and hard color plastic instead. Looks too delicate.
Sounds super flimsy.
