This was my Megatron toy as a kid and I really liked it, despite his problems. From the perspective of a child playing with toys, Megatron was more fun to actually play with than ROTF Prime, largely because of his simpler transformation, and his big cannon arn added a lot of play value as well. I enjoyed both toys a lot growing up and playing with them, yet always find myself more fondly remembering Megatron.
Mine's leg wouldn't lock in during tank mode, so I had a huge love/hate thing woth it as a kid. It was fun though having this massive heavy lump of plastic
loved the look but Optimus was so much better even as a kid, the limitations were just too much with Megs, and I never found optimus that hard to transform
I honestly love the weird proportions of this guy. It really made it feel like Megatron was put back together using fallen Decepticons and I love it. I also think this figure's tank mode is better than the one he had in the actual movie. I plan on getting the Shadow Command one at some point.
This thing is the most accurate description of "Guilty pleasure"... I know it's a worthless, steaming and useless hunk of plastic... But I love it from the bottom of my heart. It has a charm...
I think this is my favorite of your videos. I love the nonstop roasting session at the beginning and I loved every time you cut back to spamming his gimmick
I miss some modern leader class figures having ratchet joints no loose joints in the future and *I'm just a sucker for clicking joints when you move the joint*
i replaced my Rotf movie Megatron with the MPM 07 one and i’m so happy i did, the figure looks so bad but it’s the one i wanted as a little kid so that’s why i still like him and have him
Had the Shadow version and the Voyager. Think I spent the better half of a decade gaslighting myself saying it’s the better toy. Love the sound abuse gag. My cannon arm connection was pretty good and never fell off. The side things are actually thrusters.
The only reason one would get this is for nostalgia. With the amount of movie accurate KO/3p/4p making their own oversized version of the studio series and even ko oversize version of the MP one, those make this toy obsolete. You can keep this in tank mode so with OP, if you are tight with cash and not want 2 versions of the KO ones.
Cockatron is now its name. This is what you have done. Are you happy with yourself?/j nah but fr hi arm looks more like a tv antenna. But it was a good toy at the time it came out.
2007 Leader class Optimus & Megatron, RotF Leader class Megatron & Jetfire (Optimus & HftD Starscream ate up the bulk of the budget...), DotM Leader class Ironhide & Bumblebee AoE Leader class First Edition & Regular Optimus (the only version of the mold worth gettin' is Takara's Knight Optimus Prime) and Grimlock...yeah, there were some complete turds across the lines.
I bought the KO of Dark Energon ROTF Megatron. It came with an upgraded left arm and I bought the GOD PJ-01 purple upgrade for the right. Every joint was loose out of the box and no amount of screw tightening would help. A few drops of Kiki later and it's perfect. Never have I had such a huge improvement using the white stuff. I really like it, plus my cat adores using the pointy bits to scratch her cheek.
Happy that you have a newer review of this figure. I never had him as a kid. I only had Prime and Jetfire. I got the Shadow Command variant and I had no clue how to transform the arm because eBay and no instructions. Love the reviews man
I've recently ordered this yes he has very big flaws but I've always watched the old rotf toy commercials and I always see this Megatron as such he's my Holy grail
Here a year later, after beiwei released a 20$ ROTF Megs that blows all others away. I actually have something similar to the megs in the review except it makes no noise and basically has the whole jet mode on the back
This was the leader megatron i got at my community warehouse Christmas give out. I later asked my family member to get me leader optimus prime keeping them in alternate forms. While I appreciate the one my family member got me i do want the blades one.
There should be a few kits out there that give this version of ROTF Megatron a proper left arm along with his murder arm, but at this point it'd be better to remake the dank ferrik from scratch!
have you hade any thoughts on making a video ranking your movie leaders from worst to best in the near future? I know it wouldn't include studio series because thats a line of its own of course. but yeah, have you thought of doing that?
I remember as a kid I saw this one once in the store and thought it was so cool but I never saw any reviews of it until now so I always thought I just imagined it or something until now. I had the green one as a kid.
HI. If you can find revenge of the fallen deluxe ravage, you can attach him onto the spindly megatron arm by sort of shoving the arm into ravages stomach. there is a sticky up spike on the little arm that locks Ravage in place. No one knows if it was an actual thing or not but yeah, it works and it gives him a bad ass weaponised mace thing.
I had the Shadow Command version of this Megatron years ago I still to this day have no idea how I lost a leader class figure but he was so cool he actually said lines from the movie itself
Is not too bad, yes, is easy to forget that was a good figure back on its day, add a custom arm, some paint touch ups and you have a good original figure, if you have the money get the 3rd party figure.
What store did you buy this guy from? I never know where to look for old figures that isn't online, yet I see people showing off the Dark of The Moon figure they just bought, from the store that they won't name
Ages ago I got a deal on three of the four revenge of the fallen leader class figures, a jetfire with missing jet mode panels and cane, a hunt for the decepticons battle hooks Optimus that perplexingly came with 'some' of the default leaders parts but not enough so I could modify it to the plain deco. And the biggest oddball of them all was a Megatron with busted electronics that would blink constantly until I removed the batteries, but it had the alien attack arm upgrade kit in the wrong color scheme, being silver and dark red on a plain gray figure, both were swapped out, the old big arm being left in the box and the little arm completely missing, the little arm has articulated elbow and fingers, with all sorts of edges that are wicked sharp where is the big arm has the movie accurate Cannon sword amalgamation, or alternatively a giant less detailed forearm with a + shaped claw, which I guess is supposed to resemble a giant functional version of the cannon tip on the toy
Honestly the 'nothing' transformation people complain about it dumb. No offense but it's an alien design and Megatron despised humans so he wouldn't really get an earth alt mode.
Hey can you please do a review of the revenge story f the fallen voyager class Megatron not the studio series the just normal revenge of the fallen Megatron pls and thx if u do
Think you'll ever look at the ROTF voyager Megatron? It's certainly a much better and more film accurate Megatron. Honestly regret passing on him back in the day
Does anyone know where I may be able to get the little parts he has? I bought this fella from a charity store for 4 quid and I wanna fix him up!! So if anyone knows where I can get those small parts like the kneepads please tell me!!

Same here, got that version of Megatron and always loved it ever since. I just loved the movie 2 design of him
Same bro I had it as a kid

loved the look but Optimus was so much better even as a kid, the limitations were just too much with Megs, and I never found optimus that hard to transform
Now I know what arm he uses when he has fun.😏

How? Its easily one of the best megatron toys
The giant cannon arm was the only gripe I had about it as a kid. I wish Hasbro made the cannon arm swappable with another regular one.
I think the disproportionate body works well considering he was frankensteined together
They spent all their money making Leader Class Optimus Prime and forgot that they had to make a Megatron too.
That bit about the bad electronics is some Jobby the Hong type editing. Keep it up!
Putitinmyass
I loved jobbys review on this guy. real glad you covered this bowser boy.
I think this is my favorite of your videos. I love the nonstop roasting session at the beginning and I loved every time you cut back to spamming his gimmick
I think this figure needed to be in a different wave entirely from the other ROTF leaders to get the budget to be done right
I can't stop laughing 😂 his dingle diddler
Jobby made the perfect comparison to this thing's Alt mode: METAL SLUG
This Megatron was my favorite when I was a kid, ever since I saw the movie, I loved his design
I miss some modern leader class figures having ratchet joints no loose joints in the future and *I'm just a sucker for clicking joints when you move the joint*
Why Hasbro insisted in paying their baristas to do those toy voices
i replaced my Rotf movie Megatron with the MPM 07 one and i’m so happy i did, the figure looks so bad but it’s the one i wanted as a little kid so that’s why i still like him and have him
"tingle tugger" that toy guy 2022
@textme923 piss off scammer
Optimus ate all the budget.
Yum yum yum
2009 optimus light snack
‘Mans also got….NO ass.’
I am dying at that part. 😂😂
Had the Shadow version and the Voyager. Think I spent the better half of a decade gaslighting myself saying it’s the better toy. Love the sound abuse gag. My cannon arm connection was pretty good and never fell off. The side things are actually thrusters.
At 0:42 bro got roasted so bad it almost had a grease fire
I know bro like I almost died from laughter😂😂😂
The gimpy arm always reminds me of the Butler from Scary Movie 2
The upgrade kit that's out there really improves it with accurate arms and a actually accurate gun claw
I always wanted this guy he looks amazing! Him and aoe Galvatron still hold up in my opinion
lmao no they do not

Rotf megatron was rebuilt from the fallen remnants of his former soldiers, in the movie you can see him struggle to adjust to his new body
You mean the way he was getting up after Doc Bot shoved that shard in between Megatron's teeth?
@@atomicreactor6033The way he literally falls because of his own weight in the forest fight
I love that the whole first minute of the video is you bruttaly roasting megs.
Toy - I am Megatronnnnnnn!
The buyer - I am a Idiotttttttttttt!
I own the upscaled Studio Series megs, and seeing this, it could've been better without the audio features

I’m getting the Legacy Scourge for Christmas!
Cool! That guy is awesome
I customized mine and he’s one of my favorites now💀
I have this figure sealed, got it last year and decided to keep it in a display box
That's pretty epic
For me in 2009 was awesome leader. I still like it but I prefer the SS for the good proportions
Happy that you have a newer review of this figure. I never had him as a kid. I only had Prime and Jetfire. I got the Shadow Command variant and I had no clue how to transform the arm because eBay and no instructions. Love the reviews man

It's not Great, but at the same time it's an old movie figure so it's nostalgic and has it's charm
2:40 He doesn't because he doesn't have one 0:50.
My childhood transformers toys 😂 imagine if they were screen accurate. 🔥 but what if ppl customized them? Paint the grey bits metallic?

that thing was cool back in the day. i'm sad that i don't have it.
What's funny is I played with this fella so little he's the only complete 2007-2009 figure I still have
3:15 short end of the stick.....
i think the stick is his left fricken arm and the short part well there really is no short part
There should be a few kits out there that give this version of ROTF Megatron a proper left arm along with his murder arm, but at this point it'd be better to remake the dank ferrik from scratch!
The canon arm sound effect sound extremely similar to 2008 Universe Onslaught… or is that just me
have you hade any thoughts on making a video ranking your movie leaders from worst to best in the near future? I know it wouldn't include studio series because thats a line of its own of course. but yeah, have you thought of doing that?
That tank mode is just straight up Metal Slug lmao
This is one of the best megatron toys ever. The transformation is endlessly fun and the level of detail is awesome
The toys are actually accurate to the movie with the visible head
If the cannon arm had a bicep swivel and a elbow joint I couldn't complain
I remember as a kid I saw this one once in the store and thought it was so cool but I never saw any reviews of it until now so I always thought I just imagined it or something until now. I had the green one as a kid.
I was expecting this Megatron to have a voice clip that said... "putitinmyass"
Never realized how his alt mode aestheticly reminds me of ID4.... til now.

Has someone the link for the arms upgrade kit mentioned at 7:54 ?
Is not too bad, yes, is easy to forget that was a good figure back on its day, add a custom arm, some paint touch ups and you have a good original figure, if you have the money get the 3rd party figure.
After the masterpiece that was the ROTF Leader Optimus, they had to take the loss somewhere
Pf Prime Megatron to this toy:,,you are No Optimus Prime!"
That’s why I never have the tread toes out I kept it accurate to the movie

His arm coming off is movie accurate
2:06 Is it just me or does it sound like he says "I am UNICORN"
So where can we get the upgrade kit for the arms? Every where I look there all sold out
Megatron is the child that got little to no love when it came to his design
The “shield” is supposed to stay down in robot mode.
Honestly the 'nothing' transformation people complain about it dumb. No offense but it's an alien design and Megatron despised humans so he wouldn't really get an earth alt mode.
I honestly love the hell out of this figure it’s so dumb
The tank mode reminds me of armada I could go for an upgrade kit for second arm
The heels DO lock in
3:42 MY Reaction to people not watching me
2:08: did someone say, “voice of doom”?
on my copy that i got on sale in 2011 i recently completly repainted the whole figure and a bit of paint fixes him alot
Absolutely hilarious review
We all gotta have an abstract piece in our collection
Hey i love your videos❤
I think Sean Long said that the alt mode looks like a male part on top of a female part
Megatron looks like the textbook definition of a coomer
Nobody not even a single soul:
Hasbro: Hamburger
This figure feels like the designers were just DICKING around when they made this figure.
I found one of these at a thrift store but he was missing his big arm 😭😭
I'm getting the studio series version for Christmas
Hey can you please do a review of the revenge story f the fallen voyager class Megatron not the studio series the just normal revenge of the fallen Megatron pls and thx if u do
This figure is definitely better with the 3rd party upgrades
Nah his alt mode looks like Starscream's head and lockdown's face gun thing
I have this toys but I don’t know why the grey and black color are switched.
Think you'll ever look at the ROTF voyager Megatron? It's certainly a much better and more film accurate Megatron. Honestly regret passing on him back in the day
his little arm reminds me of the guy from scary movie lol
Does anyone know where I may be able to get the little parts he has? I bought this fella from a charity store for 4 quid and I wanna fix him up!! So if anyone knows where I can get those small parts like the kneepads please tell me!!
Bro looks like the Charger from Left4Dead2, but with symmetrical legs and can use his left arm.
The swivel man is not pleased
vehicle looks like metal slug, I really like this figure, its not bad
The sheild is supposed to resemble his pincer hand from the movie
