This is probably the best G1 tank Megatron HasTak has ever made (Robot mode wise), the only thing it's missing is the Conbiner Wars silver paintjob. The G1 toy sword is a nice touch.
Strangely the vehicle modes are making me think of if WFC (the games), Transformers Armada, and Transformers Energon had a hybrid universe mashup or something. I actually loved Megatron's alt mode, it takes me back to the first time I played "War For Cybertron". That is some pretty cool weapon storage as well. While many are going to have mixed opinions on the "battle damage" for the figures, I for one like it. For Megatron, it makes me think he hasn't bothered cleaning himself since he's spent a great portion of his time at "The Pits of Kaon".
Man I almost forgive the low quality cyberverse figures for the sheer quality that this line has been showing off. Truly, this is what the collectors have been waiting for.
Since the sword pieces were on inches I liked too display the sword on the arm and have the canon flipped out just like it did in tank form and all I could say is that he is an awesome figure (with the problems on the side) and I liked too put the canon on the left. Arm
I don't think it's suppose to "dirt" so much as I think the idea was to look like scuff marks, like the metal itself is warn and scratched from battle. It looks better on the darker bits then it does on the light gray plastic imo.
I thought of the meme “AND THIS IS BAD COMEDY” so I thought the same meme was gonna happen here but overall the transformation looks great the mud- eh just smudge it off with a paper towel or something- megaton was also originally known as megatronus before his vengeance corrupted him and then he started the war the war continued for centuries- no pun intended- but he was focused on killing the autobots that he was knocked out by omega supreme therefore starscream supposedly took over the deceptions until the dark energon reawokened megatron from his coma. Meanwhile optimus and the rest of the autobots were stopping the decepticons from destroying the cannons that could take out the station where the dark energon was being made, stopping the machine making the dark energon, optimus smashed the legs of the machine destroying the dark energon machine, the station transformed into another transformer, trying to take down jetfire, the decepticon tries to kill jetfire and his comrades, but inevitably fails to do so. And so on and so forth
Damn this line looking *good* so far My only problem is that gap at the back of the tank mode and silver paint would be nice but I'm still going to buy it
Same thing I said too. They are at war. They should be dirty. I’m wondering what’s next in the trilogy.. is it going to be Fall of Cybertron, then Earth Wars?
I didn’t fully feel him at first because I feel the chest needed more silver and red to seperate it from the upper chest. Outside of that I love this guy. I’ve noticed that he cleverly homages the proportions and design of the cartoon, yet also homages the design and proportions of the micro change toy and original figure. The wide chest actually reminds me of the original toy and I’m really, really digging that. The front cannon is painted very well, and I love that they homaged the original toys sword weapon. I really would love a black and brown recolor to homage mc-12 the original microchange figure.
I think Megatron has got 2 Battlemaster Tabs on the edge of his blade. Pteraxadon and I think that blade guy both have edge effects that don't attach via a peg, instead using a tab that slots into the effect part. You could put one of these onto Meg's blade, like you could put a blast effect part on the end of a gun.
The tank vehicle mode has always been my fav version of Megatron. I'm not planning to get any of the Siege figures when it first announced but I ended up getting Hound, Optimus and Megatron already. They all look much better than I expected.
It is a fantastic figure. So G1ish in robot mode and by far the best Megatron we've got in awhile. I'm anxious to get this and Optimus Prime in my collection :)
This reminds me a ton of Megatron's appearance in Transformers Devastation, especially with how the treads fold up on his back. I always really liked that version of him in that game - it's cool to see a figure that mimics it closely.
I was really looking forward to this Megatron, but upon closer inspection, the tread kibble backpack turned out to be a bigger eyesore that preliminary shots led me to believe, I hoped the treads would be more compact but oh well I'll still have to think about getting this one
Easily the best Megs We've ever gotten. The TR Voyager had it's merits but we knew from the day it was announced it was a pretool for Blitzwing. This is Megatron. Pure tons of Silver Badassery that blows the TR one out of the water. Proper Fusion cannon, Real Heavy duty and threatening looking tank mode, So much better looking shoulders, Megatron's Buckethead and a waist swivel as the cherry on top
Not when it's in places it doesn't make sense. Why would he have damage on top of the tread covers but not the sides, wich is way more likely to get damaged? On Optimus it just looks like he pooped his pants.
I just brought a repaint. G2 2nd ver colors, the one air missile gimmick i think. Different head, future miner megs head. The gun sword looks cool but i wish the blades were removable. That way it could be a long-range rifle. I got so annoyed with the blades i took the screw out painter's taped that screw to the box. The blades are connected by a long peg on the non-screw end so with a little wiggling makes a halo sword ( the screw end doesn't fall off so far ). I found without the blades in the way the turret rotates better and you get elevation on the gun. Of course i haven't figured out where to put the sword now in vehicle mode . . . 😅
I was just looking at my CHUG shelves and trying to make a decision about what Megatron would represent G1 Megs for me, and I think this one will do nicely! That frees up TR Megs for a reprolabel into IDW Autobot Megatron!
I know, but I'm saying the over all gimmick is similar, excessive weapon ports, mini figures turning into weapons (kinda like MechTech, but Battle masters came out way before they did.), it's just similar in nature.
I thought I've seen similiarly shaped boxes somewhere. So i looked it up. And I've found that WJ oversized KOs of Titans Return deluxes have similiarly angled one side of their boxes :D.
Oh, yeah, about figure - I'm little disappointed. Optimus Prime is kind of voyager with Masterpiece quality (all these panels that flip around to cover things that shouldn't be visible in both modes, no hollow spaces) while Megatron leans toward Prime Wars voygers (though I'm glad he's not hollow anywhere), the biggest pain is that crotch visible in tank mode (one foldable panel would fix this...). Neverthless, grade "A" figure and instawishlist, despite I'm not big fan of unconventional tank designs (still, Prime is "A+" :D).
I’m always psyched when there’s a new Baltmatrix review of a fresh figure. This guy has been one of the very best reviewers for so long now! I’ve come to trust his assessments completely...but I think I’m still a little more excited about this Megatron than Balt seems to be. Smudges aside, I think it looks amazing and fun.
I see because of the Battle Masters and Weaponizer gimmicks. They are ensure that there isn’t any kibble. Hasbro really stepped it up this time. I’m shook...
im getting tank-a-tron-ed out, megatron is the guy who can be anything he wants to be in transformers: gun, jet, space car, truck, helicopter, stealth bomber, hand/dragon/elephant/bat/griffon/racecar/jet/boat/otherdragon, and that doesn't even include beastwars megs being a trex, vtol trex with rollerskates, dragon, dragon/wolfman, giant head...
Now unlike Siege Opti because I already had an Opti figure, this one I'm definitely getting as I have no Megatron, and I feel that this is a good one to start off with judging from the pics I've seen.
even though were going to be getting a ss86 megatron(god i hope its not this mold, weve used it enough already, hoping its a retool of the announced megatronus), i think id still wanna find this one. im pretty sure that since nobody wants another version upon the many, many others weve had so far id think he'd be easy to find for a decent price
Finally, our prayers have been answered. It's an awesome tank Megatron in the form of a Voyager Class; and it could probably be considered the most G1-esque Voyager Megatron to date. He's going right with my other CHUG figures, despite his boxy proportions and other minor flaws.
Love this megatron... we waited a long time for a great voyager but they as you called it dirty it with painted battle damage... I like to play wear them myself. And it has to cost hasbro more money todo this. Perhaps we will get a clean version later
After watching both reviews I agree this symbol has to be for Kaon And the one on optimus box must be for Iacon. Makes sense since both are the capital cities for the respective factions
Also this thing has the best fusion cannon of any megatron in the last... Screw it of all time (chug wise), megatron figures usually aren't that good :(
This is probably the best G1 tank Megatron HasTak has ever made (Robot mode wise), the only thing it's missing is the Conbiner Wars silver paintjob. The G1 toy sword is a nice touch.

What about fall of cybertron?
This tank mode reminds me of generations megatron
Time to start a drinking game, for every time a complaint about the paint detail is mentioned take a shot. -3 minutes in- someone call an ambulance!
It was _that_ bad. I'm not against weathering, but Hasbro would never devote enough budget to a figure to do weathering _properly._
This series has a HOUND in the first wave.
Let me repeat that, HOUND IN THE FIRST WAVE!
Because I’m buying prime to repaint as Master Chief, I’ll probs grab two of these and repaint one to look a little more like the Arbiter
YES ARBY N CHIEF

It's horribly tempting :) Every bot looks really good.
OMG! I feel the same way! I WANT IT ALL!
First world problems.
nah,i'd rather buy the ss 38 optimus prime than the WFC optimus
The extra paint on all the Siege toys aren't dirt, they're meant to look like rust & scratch marks!!!
Found him at Target Feb 3rd MONTHs after this review. Love this figure
Man I almost forgive the low quality cyberverse figures for the sheer quality that this line has been showing off. Truly, this is what the collectors have been waiting for.
@Starscream91 Because I actually really like the designs and want legitimately satisfying toys of them.
I always love Megatron as a tank
These are the best modern transformers we have gottej for a long time! Canr wait to get these guys!

AyyUltra silver paint doesn’t look good on plastic. Take this from someone who’s had to restore a lot of Cybermen action figures.
I like the dirt theme it implies that they are at war and it looks great
Same thing I said too. They are at war. They should be dirty. I’m wondering what’s next in the trilogy.. is it going to be Fall of Cybertron, then Earth Wars?
That would be great.

the sword looks like a star destroyer
Makes sense for him when you think about.

I personally don't mind the purpose paint scuffs it's a lot better than any of the other stuff we've seen from them recently
This line has me so excited to actually play with the transformers again and not just display them
This reminds me a ton of Megatron's appearance in Transformers Devastation, especially with how the treads fold up on his back. I always really liked that version of him in that game - it's cool to see a figure that mimics it closely.
Hearing those words always give me nostalgia
All hail Megatron all hail megatron all hail megatron all hail megatron
Shadow Vaporeon,,-all hail STARSCREAM
Coronation Starscream, this is bad comedy
Starscream would not be proud.
CLASSICS 2.0 IS HERE TO STAY FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS!💯👍🏻
When I saw the blade on the shoulder I immediately thought 00 qan[t] and then you said it, trippy
I was really looking forward to this Megatron, but upon closer inspection, the tread kibble backpack turned out to be a bigger eyesore that preliminary shots led me to believe, I hoped the treads would be more compact but oh well
I'll still have to think about getting this one
This guy is perfect and I'm definitely getting him. I hope he looks good next to my maniaking figure.
G1 MEGAPERFECTION at its finest. The battle damage reminds of when he was floating in space after Starscream tossed him out of Astrotrain
I think I’m the only person who likes the “dirt” for seige. Another top shelf review.
Easily the best Megs We've ever gotten. The TR Voyager had it's merits but we knew from the day it was announced it was a pretool for Blitzwing. This is Megatron.

Hang on, is that Darth Vader's lightsaber on the barrel of Megatron's cannon at 1:24?
Viewers over the age if 21: Take a shot every time he mentions the smudging on the figure.
We're all going to have cirrhosis after this line ends.
Like I said in the optimus review a love how the robot mode looks so much like the g1 cartoon where the alt mode is cybertroion
That brown spots on the figure is supposed to be war mud, if you think about, makes perfect sense to me.
Not when it's in places it doesn't make sense. Why would he have damage on top of the tread covers but not the sides, wich is way more likely to get damaged? On Optimus it just looks like he pooped his pants.

Starscream: How do you feel, mighty, Megatron?
Astrotrain, transform and get us out of here!
Oh, my poor master! How it pains me to see you so wounded so weak.
Aside from the hollow forearms, it's a cool figure. That blooper at the very start would have been really much work to cut out, I guess...
Maybe just call this line "Transformers Siege".
I don't know
maybe call it
siege of cybertron ?
I’m thinking “Cybertron Siege” sounds best.
Exactly
I was just looking at my CHUG shelves and trying to make a decision about what Megatron would represent G1 Megs for me, and I think this one will do nicely! That frees up TR Megs for a reprolabel into IDW Autobot Megatron!
“ I’ve waited an internally for this! It’s over Prime!”
-Megatron 1986
SOUND_WAVE06 ah yes, an internally
Eternity you mean?
I can’t spell.
dkrattrap 1 no you’re wrong!! accept the truth or burn for internally
I'm already internally burning
I really wish they had the hip cannon in one of these tank Megatrons. That could then transform into the elevating tank cannon.
I want ULTRA MAGNUS ! HE LOOKS AWESOME !
Cool video !
I can’t wait to see this, and all the other transformers in the war for Cybertron Netflix series
I would have waited an eternity for this!
My favorite tank megatron mold is the armada versions of megatron/galvatron. I have to agree with the smudges.
I agree they should be clean cause its easier to dirty it if you so desire but hard to make it look clean
Aside from MP Megatron, this might be the best Megatron so far
Just got mine today him and prime love both of them they look great and the alt modes are cool
Cant believe its already out
Battle masters are the new MechTech, but less obnoxious (but that is subjective.)
It IS subjective. They're clearly Targetmasters. lol
I know, but I'm saying the over all gimmick is similar, excessive weapon ports, mini figures turning into weapons (kinda like MechTech, but Battle masters came out way before they did.), it's just similar in nature.
I personally like the paint smudging. Reminds me of WfC Optimus and his small spot of silver

You can take his front barrel that changes into a sword that can work well as his g1 version.

TFA Shockwave’s engineering doing great here :)

I have a feeling that this line will be the one where I get myself a prime and megs

At 9:14, you can see megatron putting his foot on omega supremes head all broken, what i think
The background on Megatron is symbol Koan and the background on Optimus Prime is Iacon and the background of Shockwave is Chaar
I really liked Megatron from Armada, so this is kinda throw back.
Looks great but I'm content with my CW Megs. Especially since I got the DX9 upgrade kit.
I consider it my favorite Megatron figure.
Finally, our prayers have been answered.
It's an awesome tank Megatron in the form of a Voyager Class; and it could probably be considered the most G1-esque Voyager Megatron to date.
He's going right with my other CHUG figures, despite his boxy proportions and other minor flaws.
I wonder if I'm the ONLY collector that yearns for the return of the light-piping gimmick.
The tank mode reminds me of the Scorpion Tank from the Halo video games. Wish his eyes were bigger. Looks like he’s squinting.
Love this megatron... we waited a long time for a great voyager but they as you called it dirty it with painted battle damage... I like to play wear them myself. And it has to cost hasbro more money todo this. Perhaps we will get a clean version later
It also looks like the 00 seven sword with the giant sword attached to the shoulder XD
Can't wait to see shockwave and sounds wave Megatron looks good but I agree that the dirt looks bad
Ahhh, so THIS is what the real engineers were doing while everyone else was making Cyberverse and Bumblebee figures!
Looking forward to have this old buckethead.
I wish they'd have done a drybrushing like they used on Studio Series Grimlock - that was beautiful. This looks more....globby.
Call the sword when attached to the Fusion Cannon the BFGS..
Big F'ing Gun Sword xD
Tank? No no no my friend you mean BEEF TANK!
once the price drops to like $30 (instead of $50) i'm definitely gettin either this one or optimus
Without the sword bit, the vehicle mode looks like the tank from Metal Slug. Also, wouldn't the holes at his heels also work as ports?
I just love the war decos
Well, it's called the Hyper Mega Launcher. But yes it's from Gundam, Zeta Gundam to be precise
Not a fan of H-Tank lazy designs, but Megatron looks awesome in robot mode!
Did you remove the battle damage on your figure?
So far these toys have been really good
Love the weathering.
After watching both reviews I agree this symbol has to be for Kaon
And the one on optimus box must be for Iacon.
Makes sense since both are the capital cities for the respective factions
His altmode looks so much like a scorpion from halo, they had to have based it on one
Which do you think is better out of all the versions of Megatron we have gotten over the years?
That battle damage megaton looks like transformers the movie Megaton like this. Megatron: ah I would have to eturniti for this it's over prime
WOW, once again, I am impressed so far. Thanks for this uploading this awesome review!!
Also this thing has the best fusion cannon of any megatron in the last... Screw it of all time (chug wise), megatron figures usually aren't that good :(
I agree. They're either freakishly big ,or have weird tapered ends.
Megatron is the only one missing in my collection i was thinking of getting the combiner war version but i think I'll wait for this one to come out
If the sword was a little bit bigger, he would look like Guts from Berserk.... Berserktron, I can dig it
