They could have just taken the voyager, made it bigger with some improvements, filled the gaps and it would be MILES better

Having this figure for a while, I can say that I very much enjoy it. The sheer shelf presence it has, the face swap feature and the jet mode just make this figure for me

Fun fact: TLK Megatron's initial concept had a dragon mode, with his sword/axe as the tail! His alt-mode concept was changed to a cybertronian jet design late in production, yet all dragon mode elements still exist in robot mode!

People saying Dark of the Moon was the true ending to the Bayverse

3:56 That was so ridiculously funny that it's commendable.

the movie was bad, the toys were (half) bad, EVEN THE QC WAS BAD (which isn’t a surprise tbh)

While the Voyager is admittedly better, the Leader definitely has shelf presence. Never got either but I imagine it's only a matter of time before we get a very much improved SS release. Hopefully a Leader Class.

I know this figure isn’t the best, far from it, but it’s one of my favorites. As someone who doesn’t own Unique Toys’s take, I love this design and, in turn, this figure. Haven’t finished the video but I do bet everything you say is valid! Great review so far!

Hope this guy gets a studio series figure at some point

This was my first megatron so I’m really sentimental towards him but he broke which was pretty sad

That kind of sword seems to work like a warhammer would: armor piercing. Except that a warhammer uses it's weight and it's spike to do so. I have no clue if a sword like this ever existed, but it seems like something impractical because 1: the edge is univen because of those ribs, 2: as a thrusting weapon it wouldn't work well since the tip is too wide and 3, ideally you'd use it as a worse war hammer but even then, if you want a heavy slashing weapon you could use an axe

I think it would be a great figure if they fixed up the arms. Fill in the gaps and give him proper arm articulation then it I think it would actually be an amazing figure. He just needs better posing at least. Edit: yeah, the QC on the copy you reviewed was awful. I own this figure and his QC is perfectly fine. Guess I was lucky.

Perhaps when Hasbro finally makes a studio series figure of tlk megs, they could make it so the fusion cannon can be pegged on and off the robot, and vehicle modes like unique toys dragoon. And they could probably have the wings be removable, so they could combine and probably transform a little bit to make the shield!

7 years later and I still regret buying that figure, I should have trusted Jobby and the voyager class

Fun story about this figure I got this guy for Christmas in 2017 and when I first tried to transform him into jet me and my dad couldn’t figure out the instructions so we had to watch reviews of him on KZfaq to figure out how to transform him.

Definitely not the worst leader class we have the age of extinction toyline to thank for that

Could you redo the pin? I feel like that could be an easy fix. Or it's the most complicated thing possible, little things like that seem to go either way

as far as the nose cone is concerned, if you want to display him in jet mode you can wedge an object in the gap underneath it to prevent it from randomly popping open.

This guy’s effect part is more appreciated than the actual figure.

I remember wanting this figure so damn bad when i was younger. The hype for the last knight was real, only to be dissapointing as hell

Hey my first leader class ever! Got him on clearance for $35 at Walmart in 2016 and had fun flipping him around. He tumbled off the shelf and broke his ankle since then, very fragile.

Funny how you uploaded this on the same day my BS-02 Skybreaker was delivered. I was just thinking about how every mold of TLK Megatron looks pretty good overall. Very informative video about how the leader class one holds up.

If I remember correctly the original plan was for megatron to end up becoming unicrons weapon in the proposed 6th film after being reformatted in an homage to the original megatron and galvatrons toys.

8:16 He looks like hes about to hit you with the DORIYAH (Ganondorf side smash)

bro the opening shots are always sick

Just bought my first little haul from Buyee using your link, thanks for saving me some money. The shipping defo cost more than all the stuff I bought, and will probably need to pay VAT on it too 🥶

8:05 that weapon is actually referred to as (and I am 100% serious) Ikakalaka. I don't know much about it, just that it exist lmao

2:43 OH MY GOD !!! I thought i was the only one who had that problem !!!

Jet Mode looks sick! Robot mode really does look cool but I see the issues, a lot being QC issues! However an SS version could actually make him look incredible, just waiting for the day we get the leader SS TLK Megs now! Do really enjoy my Voyager version of him still.

I would love a Studio Series Last Knight Megatron.

I got that red battle master for returning a phone to the store owner who accidentally put it in my bags of purchases.

Pain All toy guy knows is pain When TF figs have problems and paint look so plain Pain All toy guy knows is pain When TF figs have been struck by the QC troll

I remember people worshiping this figure when it came out. How times have changed!

I hate bad QC. Mine is mostly fine-just loose hips and a similarly bad battlemask. I'm sorry that both of your copies have been broken. I'll just stay with my Unique Toys one. Do you have that?

I had no idea there was a leader class version of The Last Knight Megatron!

The voyager is a mini MASTERPIECE. The leader is garbage. I remember my leader had QC issues so I returned it. Both the voyager and leader came at the same time. It's amazing when you think about it.

I really like this guy's jet mode. My copy's robot mode doesn't have nearly as many problems, but I do have the annoying battle mask problem with the tusks not retracting. I tried disassembling the head to fix it, and I sadly can't find a way.

I actually have the figures itself and one time. Half of the rubber fuselage/nosecone just *SNAPPED* off completely. On the right facing a person's left

watching this video is weird because I still remember your review of the voyager. That, along with your old kibble removal videos from a few years ago were so helpful

In my opinion This is the beast leader figure and I, happy to have him

I think it's kind of a miracle the alt mode and robot mode for TLK Megatron look so cohesive despite having at least two separate last minute design changes done to it, one of which literally turned it ass backwards and the other being _a fucking dragon_ that didn't look anything like either jet mode.

And THIS is one of the reasons why I got a voyager and not a leader. If only it could flip out his battle mask

Around 7:20 megaton kinda has a Motörhead snaggletooth look to him and I kinda like it….

It's insane to me that we went from the total lack of quality control of the """Premier Edition""" Last Knight toyline in 2017, and the "clearly they lost their whole budget and had to reuse an old gimmick"-ness of Power of the Primes in 2018, to Siege in 2019, which is actually... good? And might have saved the toyline? Like the total lack of quality during 17-18 was absolutely dire, I would love to know what on Earth happened in the Hasbro offices in those years (especially when toys take about 2 years to go from design to retail, and 2015 was Combiner Wars, which seemed to do pretty well at retail and reinvigorated a lot of interest in Transformers toys!)

that's too bad, i loved the cockpit being the fusion cannon

TLK; The movie with the best concept, amazing animation, great GCI and ehm... Markie Mark being taken too seriously

I can't help but love it. One of the last figures I fought at a toysrus.

Megatron's "sword axe thing" is an ikakalaka.

I love this specific toy mostly because it was the first leader class I bought with my own money

I found this guy for 5 dollars at a value village and I personally love him. It’s missing a few pieces though so I can’t turn him into a complete jet unfortunately.

There's trick to keeping the front end closed. If you push the cannon in all the way after you close the two halves together it'll lock them in.

Bad Batch ship was called the Marauder.

After one of the springs on my DOTM Meg's Mechtech Weapon popped, and after AOE Galvatron underwhelmed me (though looking at the SS variant, perhaps I judged him too harshly for what he had to achieve), I ended up picking this guy up when I saw him in a Walmart (no voyager Megatrons to be seen). And you know what? I actually really liked the dude. I loved how massive and imposing he was over all my other Decepticons, I adored his sword-hilt-jet, and I admired how he looked like a gladiator that survived the pits of Kaon. It also helped that I knew of his gorilla-arms and trigger happy cannon so I had my expectations tempered. Overall, I found that I loved more things about this guy than minor nitpicks, and he's still in my collection as my definitive Megatron, even after all the SS releases.

i love megatron from tf5 and i got a figure a lil expensive but so coool the face is so much better than the other figures, it's just like in the film

the concept art looks extremely like that one Depth Charge Cyclonus toy

He’s one of the few Transformers who I still have from the earlier times of NTReviews. I carried him and Voyager Megatron all the way to the new house. I will review him at some point. The voyager is definitely better.

1:38 i'm sorry, i was far to distracted by the tab that says 'if chat GPT was Asian' lool tthat genuinely caught me off guard lol

Hey @ThatToyGuy if you do end up switching the parts with that spare junker Megatron with the messed up battle mask I'd buy those parts off you if you're interested in offering.

Man, if they ever made a ss if tlk megatron, it would be on my list in a heartbeat.

I like this Leader class more than most Studio series leaders post 2019.

I remember I got this for Christmas one year and I thought it was so cool, but over time I've just grown to hate actually playing with it

it just occured to me alot of old movie leaders have gorilla arms, and the only good version we got of that is studio series The Fallen

the sword is actually based off of a real weapon, the Ikakalaka or Konda sword, its from east/central Africa

Nice video😊

The transformations seems very similar to the legion class one which is... Interesting

I wish we got more figures with gimmick battle masks

Reminds me to Animated Megatron with that big goofy arm cannon.

the jet looks like the sword from doom, and his actual sword inspired the sword from doom

It's crazy how much better the voyager class version is.

One of my friends had this and then he let me hold it for I kid you not like 5 minutes then I broke it somehow so I kind of just awkwardly gave it back like “my bad dude.” And then I walked away.

I love how amazing he looks, but man the QC is similar to how easy it was for Prime to cut his arm off

I don't understand the part about the boosters being backwards? The long part is the nose so how are they backwards? It's the same with the voyager

What is that F16 looking figure (I believe its Skywarp judging by color scheme) in group shot at 2:00? It looks very good

Interesting thing, his sword is actually based on an African sword called the Konda

It’s so weird, Revenge of the Fallen was the high point of movie toys (mostly) and the toys (and movies) only got worse from there!

I still think TLK was only as terrible as it was because of the critics. The movie was meant to be a long movie but the critics screamed at Bay to make it shorter so he ended up having to cut out like half the movie, which caused it to come out as it did which was the jumbled terrible not cohesive mess that it was.

I actually like the mainline figures I have Prime Crosshairs Drift Hound And Barricade As well as Berserker Can’t forget Megatron

Am I the only one who actually loved the Last knight?

Ur almost at a 100k subs congrats!!!!

I remember this guy having a good rep when it came out

What's better than a plane robot? A plane standy-uppy pointy thing

I have this figure, however it's not the best. The thing I really like about it is the mask. Mine actually stays. The transformation sucks though. The part that falls apart on yours, falls apart on mine all the time.

Thought it looked okay. But it seems... bland? If it gets bigger, it should also get more details. And I get it, the smaller ones are easier to ship out with more details and such, if you were to design one by hand. But, this big one looks like it's currently in the prototype phase of being finished, before it's to get the minor fixes to the joints and such, along with the paintjob extra details.

This guy has been sitting in my local toy store's shelves ever since 2017. Well, it dosent help that the price is 75 dollars.

Literally the only thing that this version does better than the Voyager is that it has the battle mask. If the Voyager had that, it would be perfect.

I like this figure tbh. More detail n shit. Bulky as fuck too PS: To keep the cannon locked into place and not be annoying as fuck, you push the barrel INWARDS while the cockpit panels are pegged together. This helps create a more secure nosecone that doesnt deploy when you breathe on it wrong.

I have both the voyager and leader megatron and I LOVED the leader one I get why a lot of people prefer the voyager but the leader one is my favorite one But my holy grail is KO Dragoon aka Skybreaker

I think you got a raw deal for $40. With all it’s QC issues I wouldn’t have paid that much. Were the issues in the description?

tlk megatrons normal face looks like g2 makuta mask

Not a bad review, I have the figure and I love it. My only question was why you fought with the cockpit/fusion cannon at all. Like, you KNEW it was going to fight you through out the transformation, so you should have shown it off in jet mode to start off with, given that the revealing cannon is the jet mode's main gimmick besides being freaking HUGE.

I remember wanting the Voyager, but I didn't get him. I actually LOVE this Megs design, he actually looks like Megs, unlike the other Bay designs, even tho I hate quite a bit of Bayverse designs (theres some I like), & I'd LOVE for Hasbro to make a Studio Series TLK Megs, plz Hasbro, plz!!! Oh, & I think my brother actually has this Megs!

I skipped all of Hasbro's products for Transformers 4 and 5. Went 3rd party and I did not get disappointed.

as an owner of this figure i have to defend it and say its not that bad. sure, it couldeve been better, but this is pretty much the only TF5 megatron figure that has that mask thing and was for normal price, so i couldnt be happier. but of course, there are the problems you pointed out

Could he hypothetically Frankenstein together a working figure or did he get rid of the other two?

I actually like it why i bought it. Awesome jet mode. Not so bad looking robot mode that has appropriate size for Studio Series. And ofcourse the face transforming gimmick was cool. Btw yours had lot of issues my copy doesnt have. I even painted some parts of the head red. Its perfect.

i saw a voyager tlk megatron going for 1$ used but complete

I had this toy, it broke and I never bothered to fix or replace it. Bought it cause it was my first leader and I thought it'd be cool, oh how wrong I was.

I just keep him in his alt mode. Makes a nice Nemesis

I have that Megatron except super incomplete probably because I got it from value village💀

I wish I could swap the heads the head on the leader where you can from the face shield to his actual face that's only thing I like about this megatron if I did swap the heads would that interfere with the transformation in the voyager?
