    Man got demonitized faster than my dad left. (Jk)
    While I understand the gun laws (even though they are stupid. Dont be an idiot and you wont get shot)
    I stand by the fact that studio series, being "as accurate as possible" is a gun. He should be a gun, and anyone trying to make g1 megatron a tank is trying to revise history.
    I understand hasbro can't, and I dont think it's hasbro's fault. I'm complaining more about american politics and agendas.
    But to have a true legacy g1 studio series megatron, a gun is the only accurate decision.

      Them making him a tank is not revising history. It’s them doing the best they can to give us an accurate Megatron while not breaking laws.
      If Hasbro actually made a gun Megatron he’d be even more innacurate to keep it within the law.

    Definitely getting this AND SS86 when it comes out. I've always LOVED the gun mode Megatron and it drives me up the wall when people say "oh but that's really stupid." As for why Hasbro cannot, I get it. I accept they are doing what they have to for a compromise because states like NJ and California got even stricter than just the orange cap. But boy am I so glad 3rd party stepped up. My only gripe, and I can live with it is that he's just slightly shorter than SS86 Prime.

    • @superroboted
      @superroboted  3 місяці тому +4

      Yeah I told people it's not so much that Hasbro is making a tank it's the fact they are calling him SS'86 that irks me. Now we went from screen accuracy to the limitations of Hasbro due to laws. So I guess all the budget went to SS:86. They could have put him in Age Of The Primes or put him in the very last wave of Legacy United. Sticking SS'86 on him when he is not accurate is well ..very inaccurate. I know it won't change and it is what it is, but now I'm glad we have options.
      BTW congrats on the TFONE gift box Hasbro sent you!!! That's awesome 😎

    at 6:50 ish - we kinda agree on this. Megatron was a gun in the movie. So his SS86 figure should be a gun. That's all there is to it. Orange plug if you want, but it should be a gun with the stock and silencer. I'll buy this and put on my Reprolabels Decepticon logo and be satisfied with it. If the official Hasbro release next year looks clean in robot mode with no tank parts (Earthrise), then I'll use that in stop motion as my first frame, then switch to S01 for the transformation, then to H9 for the shrinking, then to the little accessory that Starscream can hold for final gun mode. No worries on my part.

      So Hasbro making a gun Megatron would be even more innacurate than just having him turn into a tank instead.

Because every transformable counterpart to R.E.D has way better articulation.

It also doesn't come with the barrel extension or stock so it's not even an accurate gun mode.

      Well, besides the offering we have from Hasbro...if we want a G1 Megatron this is it for now. My theory is if this NewAge Megatron starts selling even though it's still inaccurate other 3P companies will follow. It reminds me back in 2014 when every 3P company was making their own G1 Dinobots because the only Dinobots we had from Hasbro were from AoE.
      As far as the actual SS'86 Megatron I do believe the robot mode will shine and it will definitely match the scale of SS'86 Optimus. I'm aware of the limitations Hasbro has but I'm glad to see a 3P company try at this scale as despite what Hasbro does, since 2018 they have not had 3P challenge mainline like they used to because Legends scale is hot right now. So I think more companies will step up. I'm just glad we have options again.

    I wasn't keen having G1 Megatron as a tank either. I don't mind people's preferences too I mean that's theirs but the way they push it is kinda annoying. To us, G1 Megatron has always been a gun. It also made sense for a baddie to become a tool of war which made sense why Bob Budiansky chose the Gun Robo as Megs. Also I'm a little surprised how quick they made an alternative for us.

    Too bad that S-01 ROMULUS is just a tad bit shorter than SS86 Optimus. But what concerns me more will be the price. If this cost around $100 more or less, I'll have to think about it since Megatron isn't one of my favorite characters in Transformers.
    Regardless, I do hate it when other people "rationalize" Hasbro for making a statement that SS86 Megatron will be a tank. I am also tired of people pointing to public safety concerning the current laws about toy guns in America. It's bullsh*t because the real issue when it comes to the problem of guns in America is the lack of regulation of ACTUAL GUNS, not toy guns!!!

    I do agree on Soundwave. The arms are too detailed (since it's a Siege reuse), and those folding things should be removed, and there are gaps in cassette player mode that can be fixed. If SS86 Soundwave fixes that and also adds in the Cybertronian lamppost mode from the first episode, that would be awesome.
    Starscream's mold does need a little work, and despite how much I love details on my figures, his figure is too detailed, unlike his diaclone counterpart. He does need to be smoothed out and given diaclone details as paint apps or details where we once had stickers.

I don't have the nostalgia for the gun mode, but I like G1 Megatron as a character. I like tank mode since it makes sense for Decepticons. According to G1 lore they were the Military drones of Cybertron. For me personally, a tank would be more useful to me in my toy battles rather than a gun, since I would have to hold it. I was going to get New Age Romulus, but the scale is way off for SS86, and I already have the DCS Nemesis Bridge Megatron, which will pair nicely with the DCS Ark bridge Optimus Prime.
