There's a lost botcon theme that was going to be based on action masters using Titans Return figures, can find the mockups if you search Botcon 2017. Megatron was going to be a Sixshot redeco that's mostly Megatron colors with some highlights from the Neutro Fusion tank and in theory that shouldn't read at all but it's actually pretty striking.
Action Masters could have been cool if they had better articulation. If only Hasbro had another toy line of figures with better articulation to use as a starting point. Perhaps a line that was military based. If only.....
Action Master vehicles I get the feeling was probably inspired by the one episode of the G1 cartoon Make Tracks where Hoist was in Huffer in his vehicle mode
buuuuuuuut Gaaavin! At 1:40 when you talk about "the Autobots" lining up to get shot by Megatron, you've clearly included Decepticon Axer among them!! Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder
Truly, Transformers One was a cautionary tale about how being forced to live as an Action Master surely leads to becoming either a violent revolutionary or a big red trukk.
I'm starting to get the assumption that Action Masters have their appeal heightened if they have some ridiculous accessory or vehicle to go along with them.
I really like the base mode just a rad place for small decepticons to hang out. Got a Neutro Fusion Tank for $20 last year, because it was a cheap bit of vintage g1 I had not experienced. I don't have the action master megatron. But the modern core class g2 megatron fits great. Like he was made to go with the tanks toxic green. Another excellent and cheeky review. Makes me smile.
I had most of the Action Masters, but I never got Megatron, Soundwave and a few of the other Decepticons. Action Masters were an Interesting idea, but it was almost like Hasbro was out of ideas and just wanted to sell stock in brands names and not toys. It was just odd. Still, I had fun using most of the toy bases and Transforming weapons with the Micro Transformers. That seemed to make them more useful. Again, great review!
They're remind me of the transformers I had when I was young. I had star screen, sandblast,, a drill machine I can't remember it's name, one that could turn into a tank, hoist and broadside. I remember seeing a pack with the constructicons, inside it formed into devastator I think it was, I wanted it so much but couldn't afford at. I left crying my eyes out,
I really liked a lot of the original Action Masters. Rad, Jackpot, BanzaiTron and Treadshot were some of my favourites, and finally getting a Shockwave (even if in action master form) was great.
I firmly believe that Actionmaster Megatron's tank was the inspiration for G2 Megatron's alt-mode and color scheme and nobody can convince me otherwise.
But the question on everyone's mind (at least, everyone important, like me) is whether these guys will work with M.A.S.K. vehicles. The world needs to know! ..... or at least have its curiosity sated a bit.
I used to disparage Action Masters, till things like Transformers ReAction figures came along, now I love that Action Masters have transforming vehicles and pets. :) Hey, is this the first time Megatron was _sort of_ a jet?
I’d love for Hasbro to reissue these. They won’t. It’s bad business. But I’d love it. Watching Gav review them that is as I sure as hell won’t buy them 😂
Man, seems you can walk into your local bakery these days and pick up a non transforming Transformer I have a bunch of these in different sizes and styles They tend to be super cheap and the Metalfigs are the current darlings… with absolutely no articulation Whatever feeds the need I suppose
"Sacrifice your ability to transform to become stronger, faster action masters!!" Yeah..... if your vehicle is broken atleast you can still transform and drive or fly away.😅 Edit. Transformers action masters and M.A.S.K. should do a crossover 😂
Anything Megatron sits on, he's gotta call a "throne"

I've never had any Action Masters but I always though they were based on the same o-ring style articulation as GI Joe?
Finally, Megatron has a vehicle of his own so he can go to Tesco without having to get Starscream anything for being his ride
If they’re gonna make Transformers that don’t transform then they absolutely should come with vehicles that do transform lol
the fusion tank is kinda awesome since devastator rides in it in the boxart lol
Great review! Don’t think I’ve found a tank that funny since Legacy Quake.
Action Master vehicles I get the feeling was probably inspired by the one episode of the G1 cartoon Make Tracks where Hoist was in Huffer in his vehicle mode
Megatron channeling Serpentor on his flying throne ‘THIS I COMMAND!’
Man, Axor is really living up to his idw counterpart as being a great undercover operative
This was my favorite toy as a kid. Found a used one on eBay a few years ago and picked it up. Absolutely hit me in the nostalgia feels.

You win a prize for being so observant.
One of these days, there need to be figures that transform into Action Master vehicles. They're pretty banger and should not be forgotten.
Truly, Transformers One was a cautionary tale about how being forced to live as an Action Master surely leads to becoming either a violent revolutionary or a big red trukk.
Come to think of it, this is actually the first time tanks being associated with Megatron was a thing, even the G2 toy didn't come along until 1992.
You crack me up every time 😂, thanks so much, you just made my day. 👍🏼

I want these to throw GI Joes in. :P
I actually had a few Action Masters, including Shockwave and his little pal. Loved them.

There’s an aftermarket cannon for this guy that looks pretty good. Absolutely love the headsculpt
Having a minor moment here while it sets in that phrase like "peg holes" has an entirely different context these days 😅
FOR SOME

Give us Blokees Skyfall/banzaitron you Cowards!
That Soundwave figure still looks decent!
I've always wanted to pick up an action master. They're just so goofy.
The M.A.S.K. split seconds of Transformers.
Man, now imagine if BLOKEES would recreate this playset with their modern figure mold since their toys are now VERY trending, at this point 😆

Ooh maybe
is it me or does Megatron's tank look like it could be the perfect alt-mode for Banzaitron?
I'm going to call non-transforming Transformers "Sansformers." Get it? Sans, meaning "without"? Think it'll catch on?
I’d love for Hasbro to reissue these. They won’t. It’s bad business. But I’d love it.

Whatever feeds the need I suppose
Hope you'll have a good day
You too!
RED would probably not be D-E-A-D right now if they were designed to be updated action masters
Gavin, do you really expect Megatron to be able to design a land based vehicle that isn't a tank?
Absolutely.

Hello Gavin
Hello Lex
"Sacrifice your ability to transform to become stronger, faster action masters!!"
Yeah..... if your vehicle is broken atleast you can still transform and drive or fly away.😅
Edit. Transformers action masters and M.A.S.K. should do a crossover 😂
Send me Soundwave and Wingthing, please.
I'll trade you three botbots and a crude drawing of the transformer of your choice.
Hey look, I would. It's just I can't be bothered AT ALL
@@TRDQ understandable, have a great day
Action masters are crap but still great
Eh, they can be repurposed as cogless miners
