"R.E.D. but good" is the perfect way to describe the Yolopark's AMK series and I am crossing my fingers that someday they do TF Prime Optimus and Megatron.
Imagine if a third party company made durable action figures of Bionicle and Hero Factory (based on the show/movie character models) but not buildable, solely made for posing and joints that won’t break.
Fantastic looking figure with all the accessories you could possibly want. Only drawbacks for me are the unpainted eyes for the sake of a light up function and he doesn't quite scale with most modern mainline releases. Other than that perfection.
Just FYI, there's a "Hasbro Edition" of this kit that replaces the die-cast parts with the same ABS plastic, and his additional faceplates, key, and chest panel are omitted. He can be bought individually or as a 2-pack with Prime that comes with a pin. Also, his eyes are painted.
Yolopark homerunning these AMK figures. And I've always thought that AMK meant ASSEMBLED Model Kit because it's a model kit that's assembled in the box (Minus assembling it) and I like to think the bubbling in the Energon Sword is the Energon flowing to make the sword
"Because he doesn't have to worry about transformation, he can be a lot more poseable." If only someone responsible for the R.E.D. line had received that memo - the look, feel and poseabiity of these Yolopark figures is precisely what R.E.D. should have been, dammit.
You’ve become one of favorite reviewers, and honestly? Part of it is the little asides (“I just kicked my light,” “The furnace just kicked on!”) that make your videos entertaining. Keep up the good work!
9:20 "He doesn't fit super well with mainline" People who like megs taller than optimus: it fits perfectly. No joke i'm getting this megatron solely because he's taller than mainline optimus.
Even though Hasbro is all plastic and lack good paint, it does get credit for being able to transform; it does take more work with the engineering. But Yolopark is doing quality stuff at a reasonable price with official licensing. Good for them!
As someone who collects mainline scale g1 and hates the seige mold this excited me to no end when it was announced. Cant wait to get my pre order in so my g1 cons shelf can have its leader
Hey, here is a way to get those button batteries cheap. For the larger flat batteries, like for key fobs, walmart sells a cheap little head lamp for around 2 bucks, and it comes with 2 brand new batteries. And for the smaller fat button batteries. Check the "gumball" machines because anything that lights up that is sold in those machines has the small fat button batteries. Those cheap little laser pointers are great for those button natteries as well. Pretty much everything that is really small and lights up will have those batteries inside. It will be hot or miss at first because there are several different sizes of those batteries, but in a pinch, if the batteries you have are a little to small, a piece of foil will work to bridge the gap.
Are we just not gonna talk about how on the Yolopark store page for this figure it automatically tries to bundle this with a pair of "frequently bought together items", which are 2x packs of fridge magnets that cost a thousand dollars each???
Honestly, if it were a little shorter, I would just consider this for my CHUG collection. I have the Siege Megatron if I want one that transforms, but we are never gonna get a 'perfect' G1 Megatron.
I was really hoping he'd fit in with the mainline. My Megs currently, is a modified siege one that can't transform anymore, and I was going to replace him with this guy, but doesn't look like that's an option, so I still wait for an ss86 one. Oh well.
I’ve been waiting for the Super7 Ultimates Megatron, but for the same price I can get a die cast figure? Let’s go! Will definitely be looking for this.
@@DragmaKerp I’ve heard Super7 is hit or miss with quality. Especially for the prices. I mainly want a G1 Megatron that will scale decent with my other transformers. The Red Megatron would of been fine, but just too small.
I'm getting the scale was part of the licensing deal with Hasbro.. even if it's not technically this is closer to the old pre w.f.c voyager size than w.f.c Megs
Dose anyone know that the Abs on megatron are connected to and can it be removed because on my copy it's very loss and leans on the one side with the fusion cannon just even.on the other side it leans and won't stay in a Straight pose ?
man, kinda wish i got this now instead of buying the IT-01 MP-36 megatron 3rd party 2 years ago, that one is GLORIOUS and feels like a trophy but it is so expensive and pristine that i am scared to do much posing let alone transforming him. With this one i can actually play around with the poses abit. Dang
If I put this next to a G1 prime, are they the same size, like, for display purposes.. is this huge? Way smaller.. you know I want to put them beside eachother and have it look right
You probably get asked this a lot and it can be considered disrespectful but at 6:57 I just can't help but look at your scab on your right hand. You've had it for sooo long now. Is your hand alright?
I think this could substitute for MP Megatron no? I mean personally atleast cause I dont really care for his gun mode so this could be a perfect solution for me
Awesome looking figure!! I do have one concern about him. I know you said the joints have loosened up. Do you think they will get too loose over time? My AMK Bumblebee Prime has a knee that is getting pretty loose.
I don’t get any Transformer toys or figures that don’t transform. However, this one I probably would because they stopped giving Megatron his true transforming form, which is a handgun in the United States a long time ago because it may look too realistic as a gun and a kid might get shot by someone thinking they’re up to no good. So since you don’t have his true transformation form . Megatron I would get this and I have been thinking about it after this review I will.
Code has changed to ToyGuy101 and should be working now for those who want the discount.
Not working for magatron.
Doesn't work for megz still :/
Still broken
Aye TOYGUY101 says it isn't valid for this item in my basket the Megatron
Code does not work
"R.E.D. but good" is the perfect way to describe the Yolopark's AMK series and I am crossing my fingers that someday they do TF Prime Optimus and Megatron.
Tf prime soundwave!
I love that they are doing TLK optimus. Really hope they go into the original bay trilogy
Prime gets sucked on so hard no matter what post I’m looking at for transformers theirs always someone bringing it up haha those designs went too hard
@@jeepdino7353 well they are
Imagine if a third party company made durable action figures of Bionicle and Hero Factory (based on the show/movie character models) but not buildable, solely made for posing and joints that won’t break.
I would absolutely buy those.
Honestly would be cool but also take away 90% of the fun of bionicle for me
@@grrrmlin That's what we have the original figures for.
@@grrrmlinit’s the same thing as non transformable transformers. It takes away 90% of the fun but makes it look 90% nicer
Seeing the mechs and monsters would be 🔥🔥
This is what the RED line should have been
The RED line was like the easiest way to make money but somehow they fucked it up
00:59 Tonight! Wheeljack creates life, Preceptor shrinks, and I say I needed that.
"for those who don't know what a bionicle is"
That hurt a little ngl
Fantastic looking figure with all the accessories you could possibly want. Only drawbacks for me are the unpainted eyes for the sake of a light up function and he doesn't quite scale with most modern mainline releases. Other than that perfection.
Im pretty sure both G1 Optimus Prime AND G1 Megatron have light up features
@CyzerR001 I'm pretty sure you misread OPs comment.

Finally a Megatron that does not transform that’s actually good

This is the quality that the RED series should be.
Honestly since we're not allowed to have a g1 megatron that transforms into what he's supposed to. It's not even a big deal
9:20 "He doesn't fit super well with mainline"
People who like megs taller than optimus: it fits perfectly.

A very nice stand-in for a G1 Megatron.. I dig it! 😎👍
Studio series 86 prime just twisted my arm into getting this... let's see if Hasbro can beat this if they ever announce a ss86 megs!
Optimus is incredible...waiting on Megatron. 100 bucks for both with diecast parts WOW!!!

I was sold when you said “it’s just a Bionicle”
I had forgotten how much I like Classics Prime, so thanks for that.
This figure's paint is almost exactly like the MDLX Megatron (yellowy dirt wash included). Kinda want to get it for comparison shots.
Yo this looks frickin’ awesome! I am so getting this when it drops!
Are we just not gonna talk about how on the Yolopark store page for this figure it automatically tries to bundle this with a pair of "frequently bought together items", which are 2x packs of fridge magnets that cost a thousand dollars each???

What kind of in human monster would put megatrones gun on his left arm
i still need this and i need to preorder the new optimus that was revealed recently
Having this with a frieza figure is badass
I wish he was a little bit smaller to scale with Earthrise Prime
"RED but good" should've been Yolopark AMK's tagline 😂🤣😂🤣
yess TOP GEAR REFERENCE im subbing
How does he compare in size to Power of the Primes Optimus and Rodimus?
Oh I really like him! I rarely keep my figures in alt-form, so this works out great for me!
I’ve been waiting for the Super7 Ultimates Megatron, but for the same price I can get a die cast figure? Let’s go!
Will definitely be looking for this.
I guess is better than the super7 one too
@@DragmaKerp I’ve heard Super7 is hit or miss with quality. Especially for the prices.
I mainly want a G1 Megatron that will scale decent with my other transformers. The Red Megatron would of been fine, but just too small.
AAHHHH!!! why would they make this 20cm?! Dropping this down to 16cm would've made it sell like hot cakes
I'm getting the scale was part of the licensing deal with Hasbro.. even if it's not technically this is closer to the old pre w.f.c voyager size than w.f.c Megs
This is also closer to G1 toy scale so if you like Megatron being noticably taller than Optimus, well, here it is.
"...I'm canadian I don't like to shoot things..." lol!
With actual painted red eyes, this figure would be perfect.
Looks really nice with the paint work.
He IS definately worth 50 bucks though.
I just got him and now I'm soooo excited for the new leader prime for the height!
You should have compared it with other non-Transformers line like the R.E.D., Super7, and ThreeZero.
Dose anyone know that the Abs on megatron are connected to and can it be removed because on my copy it's very loss and leans on the one side with the fusion cannon just even.on the other side it leans and won't stay in a Straight
pose ?
man, kinda wish i got this now instead of buying the IT-01 MP-36 megatron 3rd party 2 years ago, that one is GLORIOUS and feels like a trophy but it is so expensive and pristine that i am scared to do much posing let alone transforming him. With this one i can actually play around with the poses abit. Dang
This just makes me want a chug gun megatron even more now
Pre-ordered mine, can't wait!
Looks like it takes a lot of cues from MP-36. I love that figure so I’m all in
If I put this next to a G1 prime, are they the same size, like, for display purposes.. is this huge? Way smaller.. you know I want to put them beside eachother and have it look right
As someone who has the KO MP Soundwave with Megatron gun, this is perfect for obvious reasons
Damn near perfect Megs
Bought him today i cant wait
I just can't get past his knees. The rest of him looks great.
i am perfectly find without a transformation, but this Megatron is freaking dope, i know what im getting on payday.
If the studio series 86 one doesn’t transform into a gun im going to get this instead
Be cool if the Megatron model came with a small version of his gun form to put in the hand of Earhtrise Starscream etc
It looks really badass.
I hope Yolo does Bayverse Figures that would be amazing
Are the ports 5mm?
Nope.
You probably get asked this a lot and it can be considered disrespectful but at 6:57 I just can't help but look at your scab on your right hand. You've had it for sooo long now. Is your hand alright?
The real Studio Series 86 Megatron
If they could just release a Voyager sized version I'd never need a new Megatron ever again.
If this is what modern Action Masters could be, I'd be alright with that.
Good news theirs gonna be weapon pack for be and Optimus from yolopark
Mine arrived 3 weeks ago i love it
Do you still have a discount code for this on the Yolopark website?
The thing that keeps me off is that... $20 more and I get the MP ko Megs which is also fantastic and looks the part... and he actually transforms.
I actually really like how this guy scales with the modern Optimuses, (Optimi?) I personally believe Megs should be up to 2 heads taller.
I think this could substitute for MP Megatron no? I mean personally atleast cause I dont really care for his gun mode so this could be a perfect solution for me
I saw him at TFcon Orlando
Me too, he looked sick
I wish I could have gone
Awesome looking figure!! I do have one concern about him. I know you said the joints have loosened up. Do you think they will get too loose over time? My AMK Bumblebee Prime has a knee that is getting pretty loose.
Hopefully we will get g1 Optimus Prime with battle damaged parts from his fight with Megatron in the 86 movie
I want G1 shockwave like this.
so... it's basically a fancy Action Master?
I love that the "This video is made for adult collectors" is Megatron is over 40 years old now 😂
By that logic no Transformer is for kids 🤣
I mean let's be honest only adults can afford the decent molds
Hey is there a better model thats more $$ with same colors. Also does the 5% off code still work?
if yolopark did tfa that would be kinda good
It looks cool but I’m gonna wait for the blokees action edition cus accessories
The inclusion of the battle damaged chest from the final battle with Optimus feels so useless without at least one battle damaged head.
I need to get this asap and ROTB scourge
Like R.E.D … but good…. Yeah that’s about right haha
Do the eyes light up on their own or do you need batteries because mine won’t light up
Did you ever find out that lights need power?
I got the Optimus Primal one, and yeah, he was too big. He also had 2 identical knee pads, so one leg was off, and I refurned it.
I just kick my light famous words
I really hope they make a white prime
This is cool and all, but I think I'll save $50 and stick with my MP-36.
I can't get the coupon to work for Megatron for some reason. :/
Pain. I'll have a look
@@ThatToyGuysame problem for me
Heeey, I didn’t know that you are a Top gear fan.
Cant wait for the optimus
YoloPark transformers figure are the only non-transforming transformers I actually like
And this is no exception
I'm Australian and just as clueless about guns lol
My mp10v has almost no problems
Damn shame that they didn't give him his gun mode as an extra accessory.
No worries there, Prime will come with the gun mode.
try flame toys optimus prime g1 model kt
I don’t get any Transformer toys or figures that don’t transform. However, this one I probably would because they stopped giving Megatron his true transforming form, which is a handgun in the United States a long time ago because it may look too realistic as a gun and a kid might get shot by someone thinking they’re up to no good.

The hell happened to your hand?
Bout time we got something good
