the reason the skysaurus/quetzalcoatlus front claws bend like that is because its believed that the quetzalcoatlus could stand like a quadruped. maybe even gallop like a horse or giraffe. so if you display him on all fours that is currently accurate.
I was wondering if it was meant to be an Azhdarchid. The beast head is definitely too small for it. But, pterosaur transformers are a colossal pain in the keester to give accurate beast modes to, so concessions must be made.
@@peaugh Niblet is off to college?! holy cow I remember watching your rotf starscream review *checks video* FIFTEEN YEARS AGO?!? I was 13. how time flies indeed. Best of luck Niblet!
Never been a big Beast Wars fan (that came out by the time I discovered the alien species called GIRLS), never watched Japanese Transformers (but I'd love to!). That said, I'm at the point in my collector's journey where I have enough Optimus Primes and Megatrons, plus enough car and jetformers to last me a lifetime. This guy is freaking amazing and something I've never seen before. Also, my blind wife really gets a kick out of playing around with all the beast-formers I bought just because of her :))
Damn, Commander Class finally got my cheap ass... Maybe not a "drop everything to order" in the vein of a Tripredacus or Transmetal Rampage, but I'd pick him up if I came across him in the wild.
@peaugh My wallet's going to be in trouble when we start getting updated Transmetals, haha. As a longtime viewer, I gotta say I'm happy to see you still making vids (esp. as you seem to be prioritizing figures you're already interested in). Your T30 Springer review actually put me onto the IDW comics back in the day.
What an odd but interesting figure. I want to complain about the panels but given what all it does i understand them. I do agree anew version of that old galvatron would be neet. Mans got GUN knees, how would that not be cool
@@peaugh i was thinking to myself he has legs that remind me of the he-man era ultra buff guy action figures. if he was just a bit more squat hed be there
I'm patiently waiting to get him from Amazon, but I'm slightly less patient to see what Big Convoy will look like in Legacy or whatever comes after it. I also would like to see the Blentrons revisited, but I have no expectation of that to come.
Ahhh the curse of trying to demonstrate an issue strikes again XD Also I think the general design of that Giganotosaurus is better than the one from Jurassic World: Dominion XD
I just got my Magmatron today as well. I love how they engineered the legs on Landsaur. Also, pretty sure the blade and its holder assembly are problematic for every unit. just something to get used to. It's easier if you plug the elasmosaur's head into the shoulder before you combine it with the rest of the figure. otherwise parts have a tendency to come unpegged while you're positioning it.
I would just lay his pterodactyl head down in the chimera mode 😂 so he doesn’t look like he’s giving birth lol. I’m not gonna lie his robot mode and 3 dinosaur split modes are awesome. Do you think he’s worth the price of admission ?
@@peaugh I know I've read/heard that name used a couple times from different sources. Japan is wacky. If anything it's definitely been used by fans several times.
Funny thing is Landsaur is actually a dinosaur pronounced "Giganoto -saurus" not Gigantosaurus but honestly don't blame you for calling it gigantosaurus because honestly that's the name they really should have given it coz the dinosaur itself was known to be literally gigantic. Paleontology can be weird sometimes fr
BWII Galvatron is a delightful figure that I would love to see redone! I just got Magmatron and love how beefy he is! A solid figure that almost feels like a Haslab. Almost.
I vividly remember seeing your Magmatron video years back when I was still in Middle School. I always wanted the OG, but never was able to afford it. Years later as an adult, I am SO GLAD they released this update, and am happy to finally get one. I grew up LOVING the Predacons, and I cannot wait to have him clash with the HasLab RiD Optimus (as TY for comparing him with it, makes me MORE pumped).
To make the chimera mode and this whole figure funny Skysaur gives birth to Magmatron's head in the delivery room just cause if I have to suffer my own thoughts so must everyone
I was on the fence for awhile with this one, but all of the stellar reviews convinced me to buy it. Should get it this week and can't wait to mess with it. It looks awesome and I love the hefty large bots.
@@peaugh yeah i mean it's not as bad as a titan which i've seen for $200 canadian commanders are apparently about $150 canadian with tax but i have a budget for transformers and my budget is $100 ... also if you wondering why it matters what the price is in candian dollars simple: i'm canadian
I remember watching your vid on the original when I was 8 years old. You’re the reason this release is one of my most anticipated of all time.
Nice! Thanks for hanging around, I hope you enjoy the figure when you get it.
the reason the skysaurus/quetzalcoatlus front claws bend like that is because its believed that the quetzalcoatlus could stand like a quadruped. maybe even gallop like a horse or giraffe. so if you display him on all fours that is currently accurate.
Oh neat, I learned something today. Thanks for the info!
I was wondering if it was meant to be an Azhdarchid. The beast head is definitely too small for it. But, pterosaur transformers are a colossal pain in the keester to give accurate beast modes to, so concessions must be made.
Yeah I would describe that chimaera mode as disturbing...
silly though.
Yeah, it really feels like I walked in on something I shouldn't be seeing hahaha
It kinda looks like an aborted first attempt at fusing the three creatures into one before successfully attempting the robot mode.
It’s neat that they embedded the predacon logos into the toys the same way they did the vintage.
Yeah, I liked seeing the spark crystals return.
Sky Soar going into combined mode looks like a dinosaur M.O.D.O.K.
I can't unsee it now thanks.
Huh. Yeah, I can see it.
Dangit why you ruin this for me 🤣🤣🤣
Was already a follower of this channel when you reviewed rhe OG Magmatron! How time flies
Indeed. Niblet is off to college soon!
@@peaughOMG, happy to hear this, I feel like an honorary uncle
@@peaugh Niblet is off to college?! holy cow I remember watching your rotf starscream review *checks video* FIFTEEN YEARS AGO?!? I was 13. how time flies indeed. Best of luck Niblet!
I haven't seen you this excited for a figure at a long time.
He's that good!
26:16 could the blast effects be an homage to the missile blaster? Since it doesn’t have the mechanism the blast effects act like it’s being fired
So it’s like he has the missile launcher but not
That’s actually a pretty solid idea.
I'm pretty sure that was the intent
Chimera mode shall hence force be known as Ninatron. Who would have guessed Tucker escaped to Hasbro before the military or Scar got to him first ._.
Ouch...and from someone who watched FMA: Brotherhood
"That looks like a pteradon giving birth on the back of an unholy abomination"
I LOVE hearing you laugh about this lol
It's just so silly. Fun, but silly.
This is a review of magmatron again after 14 years!
I really like it.
We need Legacy Big Convoy
Yeah we do. Hopefully soon.
Never been a big Beast Wars fan (that came out by the time I discovered the alien species called GIRLS), never watched Japanese Transformers (but I'd love to!).

Yeah, there was some really neat stuff being done on the Japanese shows, and they brought a lot of the figures over here eventually in other lines.
Damn, Commander Class finally got my cheap ass... Maybe not a "drop everything to order" in the vein of a Tripredacus or Transmetal Rampage, but I'd pick him up if I came across him in the wild.
Oh yeah, still waiting on that Rampage myself.

I do agree anew version of that old galvatron would be neet. Mans got GUN knees, how would that not be cool
It's a much beefier and solid version than the original, so I'm okay with it. And yes, new BWII Galvatron please!
@@peaugh i was thinking to myself he has legs that remind me of the he-man era ultra buff guy action figures. if he was just a bit more squat hed be there
I kinda like the chimera mode. It's just as weird as the chimera of mythic tales.
Oh it's unique for sure.
I'm patiently waiting to get him from Amazon, but I'm slightly less patient to see what Big Convoy will look like in Legacy or whatever comes after it.
I also would like to see the Blentrons revisited, but I have no expectation of that to come.
Big Convoy seems likely, I think he was teased in some package art. Blentrons would be cool.
@@peaugh Oh, absolutely, one of his tusks is on the Magmatron box, but I wanna know how long it will take! 😩
Ahhh the curse of trying to demonstrate an issue strikes again XD
Also I think the general design of that Giganotosaurus is better than the one from Jurassic World: Dominion XD
Every. single. time.
YES!! I can’t wait for my pre-order to come through!
Hope you enjoy it!
I just got my Magmatron today as well. I love how they engineered the legs on Landsaur. Also, pretty sure the blade and its holder assembly are problematic for every unit. just something to get used to.

I've had about the same amount of success plugging in after and during transformation.
I would just lay his pterodactyl head down in the chimera mode 😂 so he doesn’t look like he’s giving birth lol. I’m not gonna lie his robot mode and 3 dinosaur split modes are awesome. Do you think he’s worth the price of admission ?
Oh man, the ever famous "Orgy mode" which is an official name from Japan. The fact he also used it in the show a couple times doesn't help.
Oh wow, they really called it that?
@@peaugh I know I've read/heard that name used a couple times from different sources. Japan is wacky. If anything it's definitely been used by fans several times.

I dunno how you guys are getting him so early.
They popped in stock very briefly on BBTS last week.
Champy?? From Lake Champlain??? I understood that reference!
Yep. I was born up in Plattsburgh.
@@peaugh Dude, that's awesome. Grew up in NY myself and took a number of trips up to that area. Love that area so much. Really miss it now.
Man I REALLY need to get this!
It's a fantastic figure!
The direction of the ball socket on the Quetzalcoatlus wing claws allows it to crawl around on all four claws like the animal would when grounded.
BWII Galvatron is a delightful figure that I would love to see redone! I just got Magmatron and love how beefy he is! A solid figure that almost feels like a Haslab. Almost.
Now that you mention it, it does feel a little more like a HasLab. Must be that Commander price point.
I vividly remember seeing your Magmatron video years back when I was still in Middle School. I always wanted the OG, but never was able to afford it. Years later as an adult, I am SO GLAD they released this update, and am happy to finally get one. I grew up LOVING the Predacons, and I cannot wait to have him clash with the HasLab RiD Optimus (as TY for comparing him with it, makes me MORE pumped).
Glad you're finally able to get one! And I am super stoked for the HasLab Optimus as well.
The toe spikes have a thoop when you push them straight up.
the chimera was in show too
Yeah. Still weird.
To make the chimera mode and this whole figure funny Skysaur gives birth to Magmatron's head in the delivery room just cause if I have to suffer my own thoughts so must everyone
I mean, that's not wrong...
4:30 it's certainly disturbing for the dino being rectally assaulted that's for sure...
Indeed.
I love that someone got paid actual money to design an updated chimaera mode for this Magmatron. That's the world we live in.
It's a job, someone's got to do it.
The toe spikes to flip up all the way, they “thoop” into place once you push them all the way up
Oh! I didn't try forcing them more than I already had, I'll give it a shot.
I was on the fence for awhile with this one, but all of the stellar reviews convinced me to buy it. Should get it this week and can't wait to mess with it. It looks awesome and I love the hefty large bots.
Hope you enjoy it! It’s super fun.
Cool, but hard isn't it?
This figure looks so cool.
It is!
@@peaugh hopefully we get a big convoy. Btw I’ve been a big fan of your videos since the beginning.
Where are people already getting this figure? My pulse preorder is still saying July
He was briefly in stock on BBTS last week, and then again earlier this week.
i actually saw this for pre order at gamestop the other day and was almost tempted by it... till i remembered i can't afford it
The main drawback of commander class is the price, for sure.
@@peaugh yeah i mean it's not as bad as a titan which i've seen for $200 canadian commanders are apparently about $150 canadian with tax but i have a budget for transformers and my budget is $100 ... also if you wondering why it matters what the price is in candian dollars simple: i'm canadian
The fact that they kept that chimera mode.....
It would have been weird if they hadn’t.
11:25 LMAOOO you're right 🤣
I know it! lol.
Terrorsaurs big brother skysaur
You know, I never made that connection.
Hi Peaugh !
Hello!
Dang, that sword is a bit disappointing, might try to grab whatever inevitable upgrade kit drops for that. Otherwise, he's so gorgeous!!
yeah, if it were just a smidge stiffer I'd be fine with it. Hopefully someone can make a more solid replacement.
