My first exposure to Magmatron was just a random image used in a Transformers history softcover, and as someone who had absolutely NO idea what a "beast wars" was, nevermind the Japanese side of things, I was like "who the heck is that guy? What does he turn into? Is he a triple-changer? I see a t-rex head, a brontosaurus and a pterodactyl thing here and there, what IS this guy?"

Magmatron. Now we need a Magnaboss.

I regret selling my original, So ready for this guy to arrive tomorrow. If Amazon is to be believed. Another great video sir.

I’ve had him for a week now and I have to say Mags does not disappoint.

Just got him yesterday and absolutely in love with him.

Bro I was waiting for a review for this figure for so long. :D

Great Review, I can't wait for mine to show up. I had the original back in the day, but he fell victim to my great Bot Purge of 2012.

The actual real-life names of Magmatron's components: ● The Landsaurus is a Giganotosaurus, which is one of the largest predatory dinosaurs to have ever existed (larger than Tyrannosaurus rex but smaller than Spinosaurus), and was the main dinosaur antagonist of Jurassic World: Dominion in 2022; ● The Skysaurus is a Quetzalcoatlus, which is not a dinosaur but a pterosaur and the largest creature that ever flew due to it possessing a wingspan of 36 feet, but the head design on this figure for me gives off major Jurassic World: Dominion Quetzalcoatlus vibes due to its head being similar to the Quetzalcoatlus from the movie; and ● The Seasaurus is an Elasmosaurus, which is a member of a group of marine reptiles called plesiosaurs that are known for having two pairs of paddle-like limbs and, in some species like Elasmosaurus, tiny heads perched on the end of long necks, but this particular animal went to extremes by having a neck that was half its body length and consisted of 72 vertebrae.

Just ordered him to celebrate something the other day. Funny little coincidence

Had massive FOMO last Sunday when I saw him on that Zing shelf for 209$. Glad the wife talked me out of it. He’s on sale now on Amazon for 140$

Just got mine. And "cohesively over-designed" is a perfect description.

10:19 That Toy Guy suggests leaving the soft blade stored in the landsaurus tail for a while. Said that straightened it up nicely for him.

Commander Class hits another home run!

2:24 I loved the Centurions. They were so cool. The play pattern was phenomenally fun. Like Legos and Star Wars combined, before there was Lego Star Wars.

This is the second review that you've done that I end up purchasing the figure. Keep up the great work man.

I have to wait for pay day Friday to get him but definitely worth the wait .

You have a slight mistransformation on the landsaurus legs - it's easy to miss, but on the back, the hydrolic pipes plug into the back of the leg so that the knee moves as one angled unit in beast mode while retaining the actual articulation point.

Now we need Big Convoy and Galvatron II to finish J BW leaders.

Was not expecting an FMA reference. Between Magmatron awesomeness and FMA sadness, my Monday has way too many feels.

I can’t wait to get my copy in 2 days! I used to own him as a kid, sadly lost to time. But this new version looks excellent!

I'm expecting him tomorrow hopefully

I just got mine in yesterday and I love it easily one of my favorite Figures I have gotten.

Mine’s is coming tomorrow! So pumped!

For a figure I have no interest in, I've now seen quite a few reviews on him, and I have to say, this was definitely the most entertaining. The love for the character really comes through. Well done, my dude.

Got mine yesterday!

Awesome review!!!! Such an amazing figure, I also have the OG and love him but this is just a stunning update! Bot of the year for me so far!

Mine is hopefully coming in this week, way too excited for this beast(s)! The Neo cast was fun, but this guy was probably the most interesting member, especially towards the end. I wonder which actor could do a good English edition of his voice. I can only assume this guy exists because of the Victory Haslabs raking in massive numbers, which might have been taken as a sign of serious demand for more Japanese show characters. Maybe his IDW role and BM release helped pitch him? Neo still (to my understanding) isn't really legally available in any language other than Japanese, so people might be missing most of the stories that use this character. Makes his presence as a big cornerstone for this year kind of funny. I never would have counted on a hype train for Magmatron of all characters.

8:30 I hear there’s a transformation joint at the robot’s waist that can be used as a faux ab crunch.

I'm loving the look of the figure, your review has done him a great justice... I'm still weighing the wallet on whether I get this dude or Tidalwave whose due out soon haha

sludge terrorsaur megatron went into a bar came out as a fused being hehe anyways i love magmatron amazing figure so happy i got mine

We have clearance, Clarence.

0:13 not sure why you made Magmatron into Superman for your opening bit, but I am only 13 seconds in, so there may be some context provided.

The Leader Commander pun should be considered Fandom Abuse.

i actually bought two of him lol.
