Superlink, the Japanese version of energon, megatron is. Called galvatron, when he’s made purple he’s called super galvatron. The arm mounted tank is the remains of his armada body reformated into a weapon.
I mean... I doubt he's willing to actually give the Japanese series a fair chance in their intended languages. IDFK, let's let him weigh in? I know he can see this.@@genocyberia619
@@michelcoolguy1701 it actually does look like the Tasmanian devil but it's colours is wrong as real life ones are black but the one in the anime is brown
I absolutely LOVE core Energon Megs and I can't wait for the Galvatron (and hopefully SG) repaint to come out. This is one of those figures that feels like it was designed for me specifically. I've always wanted an new Energon Megatron figure in the small scale, specifically because I had the McDonald's toy of all things and it was one of my favourites before I very immediately lost it. And the fact this new one has basically all the features as the big one with the posable canons and the tank/sword accessory, this is truly a dream figure for me specifically.
Eyy, someone else who had the McDonald's toy. This is EXACTLY why this figure being in core class gives me a hit of nostalgia. I did watch the show, twice I think, and I did like the design, but the McDonald's toy is the main reason I want it.
Both Armada and Energon were made by Takara (and just translated by Hasbro), in Japan there is no "Armada Galvatron" he's Megatron in both color scheme. In Energon there is no "Energon Megatron" he's Galvatron in both color scheme. Hasbro changed it up for trademark purposes, but calling Energon "Megatron" Galvatron is actually correct.
They could easily retool the figure to have the arm cannon fit over the head, remove the wings and be a legit Galvatron. Then again, make a SG Megatron, Prime, Starscream, Soundwave, etc. Might as well since some of those core class guys are really great. Get your money’s worth from the mould.
That's asking Hasbro to have some sense and do logical stuff instead of their seemingly abundant Hasbruh moments. Besides, Core Starscream in SG colors wouldn't look right... just as the Siege Starscream in SG colors before it ain't look right.
@@DragoonMS i mean, ik it's SG Starscream but everytime I see red/white, it just looks like Jetfire so to me, it looks right, just a "what-if Jetfire was in the same bodytype as the Seekers" and not a freakishly-huge dude
The Tasmania Kid gives me hope that they'll do more Japanese show BW characters and release repaints of their mainline counterparts. We could easily get the RID preds that get recolored into Stinkbomb, Nightglider, Spittor, and Cybershark
@@PerspectiveEnd oh I absolutely would, too but I feel like for now at least, they're gonna be more inclined to make figures that were in some sort of media, so I feel like we're more likely to get the weird Japanese repaints in the mainline thanks to a lot of those figures being in BW 2 or RID
When Kid was first revealed, I knew he had to be my first core class and he didn't disappoint. I love how involved the transformation is for his size and the fact that his beast mode poses way better than Leo Prime is both baffling and hilarious to me. Speaking of posability, his beast mode can look up if you untransform the scalp, though it doesn't look great from the side.
Im hoping if core Energon Megatron is successful they go on to release other Energon characters, i'd love an updated CHUG of Energon Scorpanok and starscream.
I'm kind of hoping that interest in everything Unicron trilogy begins to fade away again, honestly. The Univron trilogy is horrid as a whole, with each series getting progressively worse in quality and sanity as you go. Armada: Terrible Energon: Somehow even worse. Cybertron: A fever dream that leaves you more confused and brain dead than the first two, but finally with the feeling of sadness, regret, and disgust with oneself you should have felt watching the first two, but only now have begun to feel inexplicably...
I find it funny how I’ve the corse of like three years or so we go from kingdom to being more g1 than beast wars, yet now with legacy we’re getting things like beast wars 2 and energon
I feel the face sculpt of snarl suffers just as much from zero color break up. If they'd have painted the teeth at least, then there'd be some geometry for the eye to read into.
1:48 kind of interesting cause that's the opposite for me. I discovered this character while watching the Beast Wars 2 series and I didn't know he's called Snarl until recently when I was watching Chris McFreely's The Basics on Snarl video. I call him Tasmania Kid cause Snarl didn't exactly appear in much media other than comics and Tasmania Kid being the Cheetor of that team is just my personal definition of the character
I mean the character’s colors are definitely that of a wolverine. But Snarl/Tasmania Kid’s beast mode is officially described as that of a Tasmanian devil (both in the show and on the original toy’s box). However the Legacy figure especially is basing itself more on the shape of a Tasmanian devil while the original toy was a bit more based on the shape of a wolverine.
I’m probably the only person in the world who doesn’t actually hate Energon, I kind of like it. Doesn’t mean it’s amazing though. So I’m here for this megatron
I hate to admit it but Energon was my introduction to Transformers. Had a DVD of four episodes including Megs' return and I'm sorry but when this one was up for pre-order i couldn't help myself.
I'm so mad about my Tasmanian kid. I was messing with him in the car when I got him, and his foot was very loose and then went flying off. Never found it
The best part about Energon Megs is that its an Energon rep, but in my opinion only G1 and few Beast Wars characters work in core class. Core class, while desk toys don't really work with certain characters, there are some deluxes and even voyagers that in my opinions are more desk toy that core class. Even Masterpiece Soundwave works better because once you get it down you can do that transformation blindfolded.
I love how for Snarl/TK you can peg the tip of the tail gun into his hand and use it like a cane or walking stick. I have a ton of fun posing that figure.
@@PerspectiveEnd To be fair, Tasmanian devils look like squirrels that have been fed a steady diet of meth and anabolic steroids and then left to survive in the Mad Max hellscape that is the general Australian continental shelf...
God I love both of these figures. Tasmania Kid/Snarl looks really fun and I’m so glad Energon is finally getting rep in Legcay. Yeah Energon may be the weakest bit of the UT, but it still had some pretty dope designs and I’m glad they’re finally getting new toys in Legacy. Though for Energon Megs a larger figure at say Leader class later down the line would also be nice, especially if it can let the shoulder guns actually hinge down instead of needing to be partsformed to do so.
@@PerspectiveEnd It's a combination of two incorrect things at once. Tazmania, a misspelling of Tasmania, and the added N which isn't part of his name (implying he's just a kid from Tasmania).
Anyway as everyone's already said, Tasmania Kid is a Tasmanian devil. Though he's a lot lighter of a brown than a real Tassie devil (since those are normally really dark blackish-brown), at least from what I've seen the few times I saw one on the side of the road.
I have a weird nostalgia for Energon Megatron, because while I hate Energon, I think the design is good (Even though its OBVIOUSLY Galvatron) and I had the Mc'Donalds toy of this guy, so having him in core class is weirdly nostalgic to that Mc'Donalds toy.
1:11 it’s 0.01% Superlink is my favorite show I love it so much. Even in the dub, I think this Megatron is peak. David Kaye is giving the performance of a century portraying Megatrons dwindling sanity.
I managed to find the leader class figures and some of the deluxe class guys in person so far. No luck with any of the core or voyager class blokes in terms of recent legacy stuff
Got Snarl off your recommendation. The transformation takes a few times to get used to the clashy bits. But as time goes on, I enjoy it more and more. He's a fantastic desk toy. Pick up, transform, put down, repeat later. Even if the visible faux jaw in beast mode bothers me a bit.
Upon reveal I was actually most hyped for the Megatron, and I was pretty easily able to find him in early January. Tasmania Kid, on the other hand, took until YESTERDAY to find! Upon getting both in hand, I fully agree with all PE's points
Yeah the Blue Galvatron just is really disappointing. I didn't even realize how disappoint it was until I made the video. I basically handled it once, and put it down for like a month in boredom.
@PerspectiveEnd He was my go to pocket figure for about a month, because I didn't want to mess with my G1 cores display, and he was just kind of the outlier, but Tasmania Kid has soundly taken his place as my first pick walk-around pocket figure
Energon megs is a pretty accurate small sized version of himself alt mode is right cannons are right so they did a good job making what he was. I really liked the tazmanian kid as well they did a good job with these two cores.
When I first watched Energon, I literally thought that Megatron was Galvatron, so I was confused as to why they called him Megatron. I also thought the series was connected to the G1 continuity, despite knowing even as a kid that Energon was a continuation of Armada. That’s how confusing this Megatron design was back then.
I'm not getting core class Energon Universe Megatron, not a fan of the second installment of the Unicron Trilogy. But I'll get Beast Wars 2nd Universe Tasmanian Kid. He looks neato, name's kind of weird. Sound like a name of a sickkick for a superhero or supervillain. Depends on how you spin it. -Looking forward to more of your Transformers Legacy United figures reviews.
Prices of core figures in my neck of the woods kinda suck, but I would like a mini Galvatron figure. I think I'll wait for the purple one to come out instead of double-dipping on the mould. Galvy as a jet is much better than the G1 cannon he turned into. I always thought the cannon mode looked daft, even when I was a kid.
I have ordered the Tasmanian kid to go alongside my Lazer optimums prime, since I started collecting Transformers last year it’s is my first Beast War figure, also my collection have not theming and I imagine a story of some sort with the random characters as the cast of a TF show with the most random
So begins march, the month of tf fanstreams let's see how it pans out. I'm also having delaite in knowing how many comments will be about snarl being a Tasmanian devil (yes the i know the colours aren't accurate to a real one but neither are tarantulas')
Energon megatron isn’t bad it’s enjoyable for what it is and might look good next to tidal wave but it’s the wrong colour of tidal wave. Snarl is a very pleasing figure to fiddle with and has a scalping feature
I mean the posing is really bad, and the Transformation is really boring, which is pretty much all I ask of Legends figures. Have a fun Transformation.
I understand that Tasmania Kid is a legends figure, but I wish that Hasbro could’ve found a workaround to his open hands, because they limit the poses you can display him in
I wonder if hasbro release a "gen prime" leader class energon megatron via by using the wfc kingdom galvatron mold and give him a minicon that is his arm mounted sword tank.
I love the Energon Megatron mostly due to the original figure, that is a fun and big figure (sucks in the show like almost everyone though). The wing thing works a lot better on the original for the silhouette. The way the shoulders are done is bad admittedly, but he does enough right for me to enjoy it. My personal gripe is the the sword wasn't stuck into the tank with a 3 mil peg like the guns have so you could pull it out and give him the tank on one arm and the sword in the other.
@@PerspectiveEndEverything this figure does is straight from the showz the only thing it's missing is "Hyper Mode", that's where the shoulder guns would point down and the wings would extend as flaps and guns folded out. Sounds cooler than it is.
We got beast machines cheetor in Colombia instead. It's not out of this world, but it's decent for what it is trying to represent. And looks incredible next to thrilling 30 tankor
It’s my opinion that if proportions would have been better, energon would have some of the best designs in transformers. I am looking forward to getting my hands on both of these, hopefully I find them soon
I have both of these. Snarl is on my Beast Wars Shelf, Galvatron I'm not sure. he's not in the candy bowl with the other core class so he's either lost un the either or he's already in deep storage
@@PerspectiveEnd I keep all my core class in an old Halloween candy bowl that is next to my desk. And whenever I'm bored I just pull out a random transformers to fiddle with.
I just got the Energon core class megatron and I really enjoy it Although A small complaint The knees are loose And the transformation with the legs are a little bit fiddly
The best part about the legacy Energon Megatron is having the Original Energon Prime and Wing Saber tower over him. I feel like the design itself didn’t hold them back, they just didn’t want to put that much into him. The arms constantly getting caught on those pegs are what give me that impression. I mean even without them his poseablility still wouldn’t be amazing, but it wouldn’t be gutted like it is now. Hell even though Optimus isn’t exceptional, he still has far better poseability. It doesn’t help that I paid $17 for this figure since Amazon changed its minimum free shipping price from 25 to 35. I still went through Amazon though because Hasbro has been absolutely killing its distribution. This thing could have been so much better, but they seemingly dropped the ball in every way.
I have the Megatron just because I had the original, I paid more for the core one bought the Original for $7 at flea market. My core Megatron's knees keep falling off whenever I transform it. Don't regret my purchase but might not get the repaint unless they fix the leg tolerances.
As someone who likes Energon Megatron. Megatron is Galvatron and Galvatron is Megtron. They are the same person. Why he chooses to change his name back and forth in the unicron trilogy, I will never know. but honestly give me a Legacy Galvatron retooled and repainted to Engergon Megatron/Galvatron.
These look interesting, I’m most likely gonna pick them up( oh yeah btw Tasmanian kid is supposed to be a Tasmanian devil it’s basically the Australian version of a coyote)
I have never understood why they decided to make Energon the core class. if they had made the Armada Megatron the core class, they could have later made a leader class Megatron/Galvatron who used the core class as the cannon, saving resources to focus on the figure itself. Speaking of this galvatron/Megatron, he's such a mixed bag. As a toy, he was way better than an Energon toy had any right to be. he had pretty good articulation for the time, some really cool auto-morph features, and was canonically still Galvatron, as calling him Megatron was a dubbing mistake/decision in the english dub. As a character, he sort of ruins Energon. He literally brainwashed the interesting plot points out of the characters. Demolisher was still abiding by the truce from the end of Armada, and hesitantly defected back to Megatron. When he is mortally wounded saving Megatron's life, Megatron thanks him by reformatting him, while brainwashing him to remove any of that interesting character conflict. Starscream was the same starscream from Armada, resurrected by Alpha Q(uintesson) but lacking the resources to do it properly, so he was amnesiac and sort of a ghost, able to phase through stuff at times, but other times corporeal. He had a sort of Dinobot II thing going where he clearly acted in a way that his former self would be appalled by, but any interesting ideas for that was wiped, because Megatron mind raped him into being a blindly loyal stooge as well, to the point that when Galvatron falls into the Unicron Singularity, Starscream flies after him. Energon Skorpinok was a spy sent by Alpha Q to infiltrate the Decepticons, and was apparently the rebuilt form of his home planet's most Noble warrior. Lol, can't have that! Immediately brainwashed into being Megatron's footstool.
don’t really care about energon megatron but definitely want to get Tasmania Kid when I have the time to, as well with animated optimus and rb chase. 7:48 also he’s a tasmania devil
I have to question whose idea it was to make a Tasmanian Devil bright brown and not black like…a Tasmanian devil. Like I know they had a thing about not having toys share colours for shelf sake but I don’t think anyone would be mixing up a Black Tasmania Kid/Snarl/Growler(the Quebecois name and something I think is much better than either) with Optimus Primal. I’m not sure how you can say that Tasmania kid has a great transformation aside from the arms since that and the backpack make up like half the transformation.
the tasmanian kid can hold the tail gun in his hand heads up and also a question to you, What are you going to be hunting for in TFCon? also bludgeon goooooodddddddddddddddddddd
Is it weird that the color scheme for blue Galvatron makes me mad? I don’t know if it’s the combination of colors or that it looks unfinished but when I look at him I feel upset for some reason. (No offense to people who like his colors)
Superlink, the Japanese version of energon, megatron is. Called galvatron, when he’s made purple he’s called super galvatron. The arm mounted tank is the remains of his armada body reformated into a weapon.

I watched a few episodes of Beast Wars 2, and Tasmanian Kid will forever be for me the Transformer that pees. How? Why? What? I don’t know.
7:50 that’s just a Tasmanian devil it’s in the name the screeching devils of Tasmania
Prices of core figures in my neck of the woods kinda suck, but I would like a mini Galvatron figure. I think I'll wait for the purple one to come out instead of double-dipping on the mould. Galvy as a jet is much better than the G1 cannon he turned into. I always thought the cannon mode looked daft, even when I was a kid.
Obviously this megatron is gonna be done as energon galvatron and maybe g1 galvatron. But imagine they made the original shattered glass megatron
I have ordered the Tasmanian kid to go alongside my Lazer optimums prime, since I started collecting Transformers last year it’s is my first Beast War figure, also my collection have not theming and I imagine a story of some sort with the random characters as the cast of a TF show with the most random
Hey that's fine, you don't need a theme if you are just buying what looks fun to you.
Now all we need is a rabies spit blast effect for Snarl and it will be complete!
So begins march, the month of tf fanstreams let's see how it pans out.
I'm also having delaite in knowing how many comments will be about snarl being a Tasmanian devil (yes the i know the colours aren't accurate to a real one but neither are tarantulas')
Energon megatron isn’t bad it’s enjoyable for what it is and might look good next to tidal wave but it’s the wrong colour of tidal wave. Snarl is a very pleasing figure to fiddle with and has a scalping feature
I mean the posing is really bad, and the Transformation is really boring, which is pretty much all I ask of Legends figures. Have a fun Transformation.
I finally got the beast wars snarl and it’s honestly basically the same as the legacy United figure
They are very similar yes.
I have a feeling the next core class combiner is gonna be energon prime
I understand that Tasmania Kid is a legends figure, but I wish that Hasbro could’ve found a workaround to his open hands, because they limit the poses you can display him in
Unfortunately for mostly you, your wishes and Hasbro's budgets/profit margins per figure do not align in any meaningful way...
Sick, I'm going to both days of tfcon la, it'll be my first transformers convention
I'm only going Saturday, though I think it's starting on Friday. Anyways it will be my first as well. Hope to see you there.
The colour's wrong, but I'm fairly certain Tasmanian Kid is supposed to be a Tasmanian devil - a carnivorous marsupial from Australia.
That's the only assumption to make, though he looks more like a Squirrel.
I wonder if hasbro release a "gen prime" leader class energon megatron via by using the wfc kingdom galvatron mold and give him a minicon that is his arm mounted sword tank.
I love the Energon Megatron mostly due to the original figure, that is a fun and big figure (sucks in the show like almost everyone though). The wing thing works a lot better on the original for the silhouette. The way the shoulders are done is bad admittedly, but he does enough right for me to enjoy it. My personal gripe is the the sword wasn't stuck into the tank with a 3 mil peg like the guns have so you could pull it out and give him the tank on one arm and the sword in the other.
Someone just pointed out to me the Sword Tank thing was something from the actual show, which blows my mind.
@@PerspectiveEndEverything this figure does is straight from the showz the only thing it's missing is "Hyper Mode", that's where the shoulder guns would point down and the wings would extend as flaps and guns folded out. Sounds cooler than it is.
Blue Galvatron is giving Blue Popo vibes lol
How so?
My blue galvatron also is built like s*** and falls apart at the knees If you look at it wrong.
We got beast machines cheetor in Colombia instead. It's not out of this world, but it's decent for what it is trying to represent. And looks incredible next to thrilling 30 tankor
It’s my opinion that if proportions would have been better, energon would have some of the best designs in transformers. I am looking forward to getting my hands on both of these, hopefully I find them soon
I just hate the fact I didn't call him that in my video. My name will be Energon Galvs
Blue galvatron lookin like a tiny energon toy
I have both of these. Snarl is on my Beast Wars Shelf, Galvatron I'm not sure. he's not in the candy bowl with the other core class so he's either lost un the either or he's already in deep storage
What is this about a Candy Bowl?
@@PerspectiveEnd I keep all my core class in an old Halloween candy bowl that is next to my desk. And whenever I'm bored I just pull out a random transformers to fiddle with.
Snarl uses his Japanese name
Turns into a Tasmanian devil
And and has the jaws of an Allosaurus
He is Mr worldwide
2:38 that and “Big Daddy” 💀
I just got the Energon core class megatron and I really enjoy it Although A small complaint The knees are loose And the transformation with the legs are a little bit fiddly
I'm glad you like it more than me.
The best part about the legacy Energon Megatron is having the Original Energon Prime and Wing Saber tower over him. I feel like the design itself didn’t hold them back, they just didn’t want to put that much into him. The arms constantly getting caught on those pegs are what give me that impression. I mean even without them his poseablility still wouldn’t be amazing, but it wouldn’t be gutted like it is now. Hell even though Optimus isn’t exceptional, he still has far better poseability. It doesn’t help that I paid $17 for this figure since Amazon changed its minimum free shipping price from 25 to 35. I still went through Amazon though because Hasbro has been absolutely killing its distribution. This thing could have been so much better, but they seemingly dropped the ball in every way.
Silly but I have gotten a spare TK figure which I plan to paint black with tan accents (and white markings) to resemble a real-world Tasmanian devil
I have the Megatron just because I had the original, I paid more for the core one bought the Original for $7 at flea market. My core Megatron's knees keep falling off whenever I transform it. Don't regret my purchase but might not get the repaint unless they fix the leg tolerances.
That's weird, like the leg from the knee down falls off?
@@PerspectiveEnd yup, Everytime I transform it, they fall off.
As someone who likes Energon Megatron. Megatron is Galvatron and Galvatron is Megtron. They are the same person. Why he chooses to change his name back and forth in the unicron trilogy, I will never know. but honestly give me a Legacy Galvatron retooled and repainted to Engergon Megatron/Galvatron.
It is one of the most silly things about that Continuity, and the fact that it keeps happening is baffling.
Good morning robot people
Tasmanian kid is a Tazmanian devil which taz from looney tunes also is despite looking nothing like a tazmanian devil to me
I have Tasmania kid/snarl and he’s pretty good. Only real problem I have is his toupee failing to stay tabbed in
These look interesting, I’m most likely gonna pick them up( oh yeah btw Tasmanian kid is supposed to be a Tasmanian devil it’s basically the Australian version of a coyote)
I have never understood why they decided to make Energon the core class. if they had made the Armada Megatron the core class, they could have later made a leader class Megatron/Galvatron who used the core class as the cannon, saving resources to focus on the figure itself.
Speaking of this galvatron/Megatron, he's such a mixed bag.
As a toy, he was way better than an Energon toy had any right to be. he had pretty good articulation for the time, some really cool auto-morph features, and was canonically still Galvatron, as calling him Megatron was a dubbing mistake/decision in the english dub.
As a character, he sort of ruins Energon. He literally brainwashed the interesting plot points out of the characters.
Demolisher was still abiding by the truce from the end of Armada, and hesitantly defected back to Megatron. When he is mortally wounded saving Megatron's life, Megatron thanks him by reformatting him, while brainwashing him to remove any of that interesting character conflict.
Starscream was the same starscream from Armada, resurrected by Alpha Q(uintesson) but lacking the resources to do it properly, so he was amnesiac and sort of a ghost, able to phase through stuff at times, but other times corporeal. He had a sort of Dinobot II thing going where he clearly acted in a way that his former self would be appalled by, but any interesting ideas for that was wiped, because Megatron mind raped him into being a blindly loyal stooge as well, to the point that when Galvatron falls into the Unicron Singularity, Starscream flies after him.
Energon Skorpinok was a spy sent by Alpha Q to infiltrate the Decepticons, and was apparently the rebuilt form of his home planet's most Noble warrior. Lol, can't have that! Immediately brainwashed into being Megatron's footstool.
Am I the only one who likes the weapons that form parts of the alt mode? (not counting kibble shields)
Perspectiveend: Gnashteeth is Megatron (BW)
Also Perspectiveend: Blue Galvatron and Snarl (BW)
*dies in the inside*
Why do you die so?
And I don't like Megatron being called Gnashteeth. It's a bad name.
My favorite of these two is Tasmania kid it in my opinion is really cool
Dang, I'm going to the TFcon Toronto
Yeah that's a Country away for me. But I hope you have fun.
@@PerspectiveEndI'm down in texas, but have fun
don’t really care about energon megatron but definitely want to get Tasmania Kid when I have the time to, as well with animated optimus and rb chase. 7:48 also he’s a tasmania devil
I have to question whose idea it was to make a Tasmanian Devil bright brown and not black like…a Tasmanian devil. Like I know they had a thing about not having toys share colours for shelf sake but I don’t think anyone would be mixing up a Black Tasmania Kid/Snarl/Growler(the Quebecois name and something I think is much better than either) with Optimus Primal.
I’m not sure how you can say that Tasmania kid has a great transformation aside from the arms since that and the backpack make up like half the transformation.
I haven’t bought a legends class figure in years.
the tasmanian kid can hold the tail gun in his hand heads up
and also a question to you, What are you going to be hunting for in TFCon?
also bludgeon goooooodddddddddddddddddddd
Is it weird that the color scheme for blue Galvatron makes me mad? I don’t know if it’s the combination of colors or that it looks unfinished but when I look at him I feel upset for some reason. (No offense to people who like his colors)
