I would gladly own and review a leopard print bazooka that fired rocket propelled Jeremy Clarksons. I can think of several problems I could solve with it.
+baltmatrix Agreed. The BBC is one of those problems.
lol.
lmao. p.s. Hi Baltmatrix!!!
baltmatrix omg now can some tell me where Emgo is
baltmatrix what r u doing here? lol
In the Japanese Beastwars the green and purple tank is named Megastorm and is the little brother of Galvatron... strange concept.
Only in Japan
Yeah, they're like 90% the same, it's just that Megastorm has olive camo instead of purple and this weird black pattern on his face that makes him look like he's got Guyliner on. Beast Wars II was in part a way for Takara to reuse as many molds as possible, many of which had previously been Western-exclusive, and G2 Megs was one of those.
So he's basically also Megatron's little brother
@@kirb2electricNo, Beast Wars II Galvatron is an unrelated character.
@@manjackson2772 oh
"Make a ton of cack?" Oh god, I'm gonna think of that every time I see Megatron!
7:46 This pack was actually my introduction to Transformers as a whole, I have a large amount of nostalgia for it
Me too! I stumbled across it on half price at a Canadian Tire. First time I saw Megatron as a tank and I fell in love with the little bugger. Well, after I covered all the green with silver paint. It still has a proud place on my shelf 15 years later. 😊
ArchForce sounds like some obscure British TV show then became a million dollar Hollywood movie franchise
OscMag doesn't that sound familiar ahem *bayformers* ahem
scrote guzzler in what way is Transformers an obscure British TV show?
@@HouseholdWheel ...he meant the name Archforce sounds like it, not Transformers itself.
is this a reference to Archie and Riverdale?
I remember having the g2 meg when I was very little, I dropped it in a pool and when I fished it out and waited for it to dry the sounds still worked but the voice was hilariously high-pitched from then on.
Mouseatron?
I... love CW Megatron because I can pick him up, play with him and transform him. After the insane complexity of some of the, it's _refreshing_ for it to be simple.
Yeah but by modern standards he kinda sucks
Edit: eww
Who was I to be so mean! Just because a toy ain’t that great doesn’t mean people can’t enjoy it!
Johnathan, I apologize for being so rude.
@@cartkart1 By modern standards, G1 figures suck, but you still get GEEWUNNERS fawning over them like they're freakin' holy relics.
@@Beedo_Sookcool Hey just because they suck doesn’t mean they’re not good
G1 Kup? Goldbug? I love ‘em
And some of them hold up! G1 Beachcomber is still super fun, same with Prime
@@cartkart1 My point exactly! Just because they're not very good, doesn't mean SOMEBODY can't love 'em!
"Tank-you."
Tank Thew
Both off you get out
Ha
@@Manjustman_25806 I agree with you. Get these blokes outta here!
It's kinda funny thinking this was a new golden age of figures, in retrospect
The acapella Rodan theme at the end was beautiful.
12:52 my god, that HFTD leader starscream. gonna be a life-long crusade to ever find one of those for a reasonable price on ebay or something lol.
what marvelous engineering
I have one but its missing some bits
Found it at a flea market for 50 cents lol
THEWroughly entertaining video! You've been the sole deciding factor in a more than a THEW of my purchases. I hope THEW keep it up!
I genuinely laughed at "thanks". Another solid effort, we appreciate your great reviews.
Old Look Around You joke is a good Look Around You joke
Tank Megatron will always be better than "Jet Megatron" (TF: Energon, Bayverse 1), "race-car-that-looks-like-a-Batmobile Megatron" (TF: Cybertron), "Helicopter Megatron" (TF: Animated) and "Truck Megatron" (DOTM Megatron). But it feels like the Decepticons have TOO MANY tanks in their Ranks. Blitzwing, Brawl, Bludgeon are all tanks too......
shadowshinobi06 but the Decepticons had a bunch of jets. So the bots got a bunch if cars.
shadowshinobi06 yes but I replace cars with tanks. Or jets.
Guzzle, Warpath and hardhead are also tanks.
There is no such thing as too manny tanks!
Essence of Cadaver LOL I guess so
"sci-fi-tastic kaiju-bothering maser barrell" is a great phrase.
Bro. I gotta be honest. You are my favourite channel. I've had a rough year being out of work and such. But, your videos and the enjoyment they bring me have made it more bearable. Thank you for what you do.
Wait... Megasonic Teenage Warhead...
Deadpool came out five months later, with Negasonic Teenage Warhead....
Was this an obscure comic joke that got mainstreamed, or does Thew have a time machine he's not telling us about?
+caffeinedelusions lol, it's the name of an old Monster Magnet song! I also actually meant to say "Megasonic Greenage Warhead" but I forgot
Thew definitely has a time machine
Also, for what it's worth, Negasonic Teenage Warhead first showed up in the X-Men comics back in 2001.
Thew still has a time machine.
Jonathan Ore Named after the Monster Magnet Song.
We can thank G2 for giving Megatron a respectable alt mode.
As if the P38 wasn't respectable
@@imperialbricks1977 it is literally illegal
@@TMNTransformerz
Hmm?
@@imperialbricks1977 it is currently illegal to create toys of realistic fire arms
@@TMNTransformerz
In what country?
Me and you share a love of G2 Megs, and his amazing colour scheme. This has brought joy to my day Mr Thew.
Well Played...
The lime green and purple beef cake that is G2 Megs was the first transformer I ever owned. Well, the first one that was actually mine. My sister of all people, had a huge G1 collection because she was the older one. She had every one of the releases from the first two years. I still have them in various stages of broken or missing parts and figures, but they are our originals.
I'm so glad you did this video Thew. I inherited all the G1 stuff as hand-me-downs from my sister. The G2 neon green/purple puncher was truly my first Transformer growing up.
I’d love to see a review on the War for Cybertron: Siege Megatron.
Great review Thew, I know you had trouble doing this review before AA but it seems you've sorted it mate. I did a review on him ages ago, but it's nowhere as good as this one. Well done Sir
4:52
F for scout trooper
One of your best videos yet, man.
Sidenote, it was a bit weird seeing you with hair again from the PIP shots from older vids lol.
One thing I remember about that version of Megatron is that his tank mode came from a G.I. Joe vs Transformers crossover. That big purple cannon was supposed to be a railgun that was to replace is old cannon with.
Let me tell you, man, that recent IDW-styled Legends-class Megs is probably my favorite Megatron mold ever, especially if you feel like shelling out the extra dough for the silver-painted Takara version. It's small, but has a much more "Megatron" vibe coming off it, and because it's so small, you forgive the simple transformation, plus it also manages a rotating turret without making the elbows look jank. And Targetmaster Chop Shop is a tiny delight. Unfortunately, buying it now will cost more than the Leader Class version.
A Look Around You reference! This is why I love you, Thew.
also MIGHT PIPING

*M I G H T P I P I N G*
Fantastic review as always Thew, keep them coming, :)
7:43 that's the one I have and even if it's not exactly what I should have, I'm grateful. My mom got me that set for Christmas and it jump started me into the fandom
I picked up the Armada version of Combiner Wars Megatron a while back and I absolutely love him. The weird spindly shoulder joints do bother me, but the rest of the figure is so solid that I can overlook them.
Hey Thew, I'd love to see you do another of these multi-toy review for some of the combiner wars bots
Titans Return Megatron got a G2 Archforce repaint from Takara. According to the pack in manga, the titan master is actually Beast Wars Megatron reprogrammed by Cobra Commander...
The cannon tip can be used as a claw hand of sorts on the right arm. There's a small peg that fits the cannon tip where the hand should be.
Hey I spied you finally completed Powermaster Optimus! can we expect a review of him anytime soon?
THAWESOME!
Excellent renditions of those Godzilla tracks
Awesome video, happy your back making videos.
To be fair you can sort of get a hand on the classics by folding the turret into a thumbmand rotating the claw shield thing. That whole thing is hinged so you can do a lot with it.Also that mold is the only one to have the turret turn into arms but still aloow the whole thing to rotate and also have up/down on the turret.
Your toy reviews are awesome. You're hilarious. Love your channel.
This was your chance to name a video "Megatronathon." Ya blew it!
So many tanks...it's enough to break the space time continum! excellent work Thew.
Incredible, just incredible.
I love it when Thew blasts through a bunch of cool toys loosly connected by a theme or charactor... or came in a set. basically I just like to listen to Thew say things.
Oy, I just love hearin' this bloke go on and on over our one and only Destron, (or Decepticon), leader and his endless tank-alternate-modes.
HOLY CRAP , I did not expect that turret swivel. those to me actually look good though thew
Hero Megatron was my first Megatron, it was nice to hear someone be so kind to him. I'm think he's an underrated toy.
Love Megatron tanks! What's the "Euphoric Club banger" song at 5:38? I love it! Great stuff as always! 😆
mega ton of crack?im a ton of fat?bayformers are cra!Ooooh now I hear yeah megatronSeriously though this is a weird figure and g2 itself was one giant rap fueled fever dream of neon colors and 14! MISSLES still great review and I actually owned a knockoff g2 megs at one point that was high quality plastic plane tank paint and a generic robo head it was actually pretty cool besides the lack of "mega bob is daft" .keep up the good work.
I had a G2 Megatron as a kid; that cannon had enough power to stick toothpicks to the wall from meters away.
The hearing you sing two Godzilla themes, Thew! Keep those references coming :D
I keep forgetting that the Kaiju battle is my favourite bit from the Thew Review Shew-show.
I would love to see you review Armada Megs, both versions really. After all, you need someone to rule all those Minicons and Micromasters stinking up the place.
(I actually love MC's, by the way.)
The line about subtlety as a leopard print bazooka that fires Jeremy Clarkson was golden poetry.
Finally got my hands on this guy in good condition for a really good price. :D fantastic video!
Oh wow, when I was a kid I had a birthday cake that came with a transforming tank that was identical to this except in size and color.
Tanks for making this vid!
After all these years, come to think of it, Movie 1 Leader Brawl mold would've made a killer G2/Armada-esque Megatron.
Beefy tanks are the best.
9:58 10/10 editing
I just want a classics/generations/universe/whatever sized Megatron to go with the rest of my collection. great review thew
Grandus should have been called Kibbletron!
I LOVE the Generations Selects Earthrise G2 Megatron, as he has so much 1990s callback going on it is awesome.
Great review as always thew :)
Good review thew now you should do a review dedicated to the best Optimus prime toys you have
Love this review, Mister Thew!
and cw megs
Personally I adore Armada Megatron.
I got the new generations one and the original armada
Dude same! I have the old armada Megatron and old galvatron! I think I even have the little McDonald's Megatron too! 😆 I love the unicron trilogy, it had so many cool designs!
My classics Megatron is sadly missing his little bit off the end of his gun, and the matching Optimus only has one smokestack, but he's still awesome on my shelf. lol And for as cheap as I got them second hand, I think I can live with it. lol
I owned (still in the loft somewhere) the beauty that was Generation 2 Megatron (first one)! Great toy for any kid!
Jesus made 29 years ago now... I feel old.....
9:55 "Kaiju Bothering Maser Barrel" XD
you always make me laugh out loud. I love you videos man
Thew rules. Love how it all leads up to one great punchline. 'Thanks' dude
this video made me realize that megatron was a jet from energon through prime! (+ car in cybertron) Could've sworm there were more tank-trons.
There were, in the Bayverse films, IDW comics and the Fall/War video games.
Honestly I *like* the "Combiner Wars" Megatron better than the other versions, I think having his robot mode look like the classic G1 Megatron and having *actual working tank treads* are both great features. Could use a little more fine-tuning but honestly a far better concept than just being a gun, and better execution than older models.
"Make a ton of cack?" I'm fucking dying over here!!!
Oh God I remember that watch thing that came with G2 Megs. I wonder whatever happened to it.
You forgot about War for Cybertron Megs. It's a space hover tank tank but it's still a tank. A bad one. Robot mode is amazeballs though.
6:17 i have that mold but in grey, black and white and with a different held sculpt
Very nice!!. Keep them coming.
I am so subbed and will watch your videos after several espressos as presumably that's also when you make them? ;)
A leopard print bazooka that fires Jeremy Clarkson? This is why we have the Geneva Convention.
subdubscribed because this guy is the BEST!! His alliteration's always awesome and his wordplay is otherworldly! He should write a book - I'd buy it!
I think we really need some TF media be it movie/cartoon/comic or other that uses Megs as a tank for an alt mode and makes it iconic, interesting and powerful. It just feels as though we get push tank toys but are yet to see some really good tank media to sell us on the concept, it seems like a great opportunity but megatron so rarely in comics/cartoons ever has a need for an alt mode/uses it.
Reason why we have so many tank modes fir megatron. Which I like because..... think about it why a evil villain turn to a German pistol. While he can turn to a badass tank
This made me laugh so hard I made a ton of cack.
You gotta do an updated one of these! Hell, ever have a slow new stuff period, there's probably a hundred you could revisit, but there's a couple ya should. Maybe when dragatron drops?
Monthly megatron
I visit for the charming reviews, but I stay for the mind-chewing alliteration. Thew, you be wicked.
Not to be pedantic, but you missed one. The tank cannon/sword accessory for Energon Megatron that is a reference to the Armada one...
if you didn't know this already combiner wars megatron has an unofficial somewhat forced gun mode,
start in robot mode
flip the feet up
bend the legs back as far as they can or enough to make a handle
transform the arms into a turret
set the crotch plate against the back of the turret
move the kibble chunk up against the back of megatons head
set the chest plate parallel to the gun barrel
if needed untab the knees so the legs can be set flush against one another
you should have something that resembles a gun
Ha! I love the United G2 Megs. Always said if I was gonna get a version of that toy, that would be it.
New Thew! Huzzah! Nice review.
Time to revisit this subject I thinks, I do. Since we have so many new versions of the newest mold. LOL XD
how nice of Megatron to bring his nephew into a war.
Then, some years later with Siege and Earthrise and Legacy, more tank Megs came along.
kinda feel like i've already seen reviews of three of the five tanks on offer here from you already man but a look at archforce was neat and i kinda feel the same about the CW leader, albeit a bit worse to the degree that i could never buy it for £50. you didn't mention how united archforce fixes the backwards feet from the 06 classics one. bring on a review of armada megs!
Dang i didn't knew i grew up with a generation 2 Megatron
I once had a Buzz Lightyear whose laser sounded exactly like the sound at 1:43
Tanks for the Mega memories.
I had the purple megatron, except the sticker on his chest said MEGATRON RULES!!!! which kinda gave away who he was...
The new Titans return Megatron will be a tank and a jet so I'm happy. Especially now that I have Galvatron, I will finally have a Megatron that is in scale with Galvatron.
