When you have an alt mode that's basically nothing, there's no excuse not to have a perfect robot mode.

I feel like we won't get any better then Optimus, Optimus was near perfect besides the hands on the back of the "truck"

9:37 - Anyone else got a craving for Reeses? I don't even like those candies but these thrusters are doing some damn good cross-marketing.

I thought I was going crazy with the fusion cannon, glad im not the only one who wanted to turn it around.

I like this Megatron cuz' he gives me 2007 vibes lol. If they make Core Class figures for the Gamer Edition? I hope they make Blue Rumble because when he says "Get ready to crumble before Rumble!", that's how he became my favorite ver. of Rumble lol.

The cannon isn't game accurate. In WFC the cannon was a bit bigger/longer and had some extra parts that this cannon doesn't have molded on. This cannon, despite it being *_War for Cybertron_* Megatron, is actually more accurate to the *_Fall of Cybertron_* Riot Cannon. Also the tank mode never had treads in the game. All tanks in War for and Fall of Cybertron were hover tanks at all times. Edit: I do like this figure, minus the knees and the fusion cannon I think its good. Though I do wish they put more effort into the mace. Prime can dual wield his axe, Megatron should be able to dual wield his mace. I also don't like how the mace's handle is too thick for him to be able to hold it anywhere other than the very bottom with one hand. It also needed the purple to go all the way down the spikey bits instead of just cutting off randomly.

Aside from needing to fix the knees, and the elbows being a bit loose, I love it. Having him and Barricade together gives me memories of playing that first level in WFC's Decepticon campaign. Can't wait for Brawl.

from what ive heard, the game model had the decepticon logo moulded on his back of the torso. as did the old deluxe. this figure doesn't seem to even have that. this figures a letdown...

The tank mode looks like they mounted a cannon onto a cybertronian hover car. I think the arm should be a parts or shell form.

I dont hate it but i can understand why some people are upset about it, and honestly i can find flaws in this figure that i hope DNA design will fix

The problem with the knees do nothing for alt mode. Remove them

3:04 Guess we can say Megatron's cannon looks *a-MACE-ing.* 5:10 I don't know if it's a good idea but I wonder if you can cut these parts off and would make his knees bend better without damaging them? 8:00 Aaaawwwwww~. Hungy cat. 14:20 You're not alone in this. But I do like the hover tank though, my mind goes wild whenever I have a Transformer that can hover, I'd pick it up and fly him around like he would in the game (or any advanced warfare games.)

Optimus has a shoe for an alt mode and this alt mode looks like nothing.

The front of tanks are breacher spades for flipping over adversaries or the "breach" walls On front of trains is the cattle catcher

The source material did not have treads. I just played the game today and I can say for sure he did not. Every single transformer in vehicle mode is hovering on thrusters coming from their wheels and megatron just used his thrusters at all times angled like this / \. While I agree it would be cool to roll it, but it never had treads. The only time any of the bots engaged their wheels was when boosting with the left trigger. And when Megatron boosts, he did not have treads either

Tanks for the review. Saved me some money.

3:11 looks like those weapon effects that you always see in the Transformers Generation 1 comicbook series.

Unfortunately all of these wfc figures have massive flaws

He kinda reminds me of a pre cursor to when Megatron became Galvatron because he resembles him with the reds and purples and the alt mode is like a cannon in ways

6:59 I just got Legacy Scourge yesterday, and after posing him for a bit I've come to question why Hasbro don't use ball jointed hands on all their figures now. At least figures that have the hands flip into the lower arm. It achieves the same thing this pin system does for it but it gives the hand more articulation.

The reason for the knees being that way is a miss assembly issue. They’re meant to be oriented the other way round to stop the knee from going forward

His thinner stature still makes him look strong. He looks like the kind of guy who at first looks like he hasn't been to the gym in a while, only for him to grab you, lift you up, and crush your skull without breaking a sweat. Plus, once Hasbro makes a Fall Of Cybertron Megatron, it'll be much more BEEFY!

Lol and OMG. Cool weapons and colors. Cool music. Megatron is one of my favorite transformers.

7:58 Kitty!

I like that figur to but my only problem with it is the knees

Options are great, both of these sculpts are great on the shelf with the other WFCs. I only wish they did a Soundwave!

Now I think about it, none of the gamer edition figures have an alt mode alt mode. It may have been hard to do, but it is like the main gameplay mechanic of all high moon games

as its own figure i like it but as compared to the original

BEAUTIFUL SPREAD!!

Already know im chopping those tabs off the back of his knees

So you could replace the arm with the head of the mace?

I got mine at my local Target, and it’s a-good toy to play with.

If i got this I would probably just saw off the knee things, I did something similar to skullgrin to allow the legs to move outward

He does look up. You just need to pull his head up, its a weird ball joint.

I feel like the Gamer Edition line is suffering from QC and in some cases flaws in design or engineering. That aside I got myself the Clifjumper figure which after cleaning up some excess plastic works pretty well.

Figure is pretty cool to me given i was a kid when the orginal game was released but my issue is i wish his riot canon had some more paint and maybe some more detail to be game accurate along with his old man knees😅😂

The cats made the review better, lol But on a serious note, I feel like Gamer Edition Studio Series is in a weird spot for me. Just feels half-assed and they made some head scratching decisions

Why is there no 90 degree knees

Nothing about this toy makes me want to buy it

I honestly _vastly_ prefer the original, it not only transforms much better IMO but it's also a more cohesive one. All of his parts become part of the alt-mode, unlike this guy, and the original's Fusion Canon is just way cooler and fills out the vehicle mode better. Plus with this guy you have to rearrange a bunch of things to try to fill in gaps, that wouldn't've been there on the original. So yeah, I kinda hate it.

It honestly feels like all the budget went to optimus aka prime was supposed to be just a one off until someone said hey, lets make an entire line based on the games it'll sell Right?!?

Something's off about this figure for me, but I cannot figure it out.

this line of gamer edition figures is a great example of how hasbros "model accuracy" priority is really hurting these figures. This megs is more "model accurate" but it makes it a much worse toy. There were no treads in game, but having the option to display him with treads and rolling wheels made the OG WFC megs a great figure with great playability. The cannon on this is much more accurate. but overall, looks much worse than the way they did it on the previous release. The vehicle mode is more cohesive and accurate, but overall, much worse as a toy.

Megatron

Obviously different price and different market but after seeing Planet X do their line this is kinda just pathetic.

have you ever thought about ordering thumbnails for your videos? I think you know that it will give more views and attract attention. If you're interested, I can do a test thumbnail for you and send you my portfolio.

the alt mode will keep me from buying this. im not the biggest megatron fan in the first place and that alt mode straight up sucks.

Dont like this megatron, too skinny, FEED HIM TO THE KITTIES!

i understand your reasons not to compare it to the previous versions, but still it is comparable. This is a voyager at a higher price point than a deluxe. Is a 2023 voyager worse than a 2010 deluxe? that shouldn't be the case, it should be better or at least equal to the 2010 deluxe toy. This even seems to be worse than 2023 voyagers at the same price, studio series cheetor is better than this. The knee articlation problem has no justification. The Gamer Edition subline it's in a weird place, it does some things good and others very bad.

I think the old toy is better in every way.

Someone really hates megatron on the hasbro team, earthrise was a joke compared to OP and both figures were retools of the Siege molds, but this is a bit of a f*ck you: No arm swivel, no wrist swivel, smaller size, and the absurd knee problem that can be fixed by just cutting those bits, it is like they dont even care. That said i still think its a much better figure than people pretend it to be, tho my hopes for a FoC Grimlock in all his glory are a bit dampered rn

Well Botmatrix, The reason his design is so weird is because they used a older design for the game that never got used, and incorperated the final design traights into it Giving us...this. Why would they use a design that wasn't game accurate? Sadly the given reason is that the game modle tank/robot design was to plain with smooth flat surfaces with very little deco. For a line that is supposed to give us figures that are high detailed characters accurate to their source material. This line has been failing to uphold their own moto by pulling this stunt. Their quality of design seems to be slipping too. Did they drop/lose/move people from the design/engineering team or something? These figures would have gotten better representations in the Legacy line since that's where all the better figures are coming from lately. 😢

maybe Megatron has been fasting over the years?

Honestly Balt, I can totally understand you not hating this guy.

You know what i loved that figure is amazing in opinion he has the flaws but we forget something as a figure is fun to mess (for some weirdly reason megatron was more slender in the game more than optimus soo is accurate but i hate it , the cannon is okay if you turn it around the knees you going to cut the thinks (if you cut it the knees goes to 90 AMAZING ) i dont hate the hover mode ) .I think in mine opinion is more accurate than the old one thenold one was more accurate in the back and in the spikes of the knees (the color is white not black like the gamer edition ) so in mine opinion is 50/50 i love them both.

In upgrade kits we trust

Fingers crossed, DNA designs are on the case

Great facesculpt. Man I wish I had the black Deluxe version in a way words cannot describe.

Skipping this. He’s too small and blah looking. If the line isn’t canceled and we eventually get FoC I’ll grab that Megatron. He should be bigger than Prime and this guy just doesn’t cut it. Hopefully the line is able to put a few more good figures out (shockwave/Soundwave/Onslaught are my main wants) to get us into FoC.. where the designs are better and we get the Dinobots. We will see.

*Megatron's vehicle mode is reminding me of the Zin hover-tank from Saints Row IV.*

I picked up mine yesterday and well other then the knees I think its good. plus I can take siege Six gun and give him weapons that are accurate enough to the game.

I dont know if I'm the only one, but my megatrons right arm is just slightly longer then his left and it bothers the hell out of me

The game designs cheated quite a lot with their in-game transformations and I feel the same way you do with these WFC guys. It's kind inevitable that we'll see that Voyager GE Ratchet and Decepticon unit with similar design oddities.

Kitty dinner time!!!!!! Funny!

Mine looks up and down, down to a great degree actually

Cows in Transformes...well, there's a male cow named TANTRUM. so, he had to be born from some cow-bot.

It look like a flash lihn😂😂😂

You forgot He have swivel in The Arms And Legs!!!

Sunstreaker is not Kingdom! Is Earthrise!!

Megaton really needed to be as bulky as Optimus. It just looks wrong with megaton looking noticeably skinnier.

Scourge is not Siege!! Is Studio Series!!!

They should have kept Megatron's g1 gun form. I understand his history but a lot of fans prefer the walter p130 instead of the tank

Worst looking megatron.
