If the rest of the comic retools are as good as this, I’m really excited for the next ones to come. Obviously I’d prefer brand new molds, but I always have liked seeing how creative Hasbro can get with their retools.
Love that Hasbro are finally giving us figures of original comic designs after so long! Hope to see an IDW Rodimus and a new Windblade at some point. Galvatron and Optimus, among others, would also be awesome to see!
Very cool two pack for a decent price. Love the remolded parts, and vibrant colors. Very eye catching in robot mode. I could see Miner Megatron with the pickaxe being used as a Legacy Straxus.
Meg's Evo Fusion looks cool, in something like a Sentai it'd probably be called "Impact Drill" where the pick and tip spin and dig into his enemies, not a bad idea for how it canwork here, either.
I love the look of D-16 (MINER MEGS), planning on picking this up at some point possibly :D In my head cannon, he utilizes a FUSION Powered Laser drill on his arm instead of a rotating one. One that fires off a beam of energy that burns though rock or metal, or whatever he is mining though. Back then, MY Version of Doctor Scalpel was a handsome and well respected Cybertronian Scientist that actually had a normal robot body. He was the one who created Megatron's Fusion drill and eventually cannon (This is all in the TF Universe I created whenever I play with my figures :D)
A really nice addition to everyone’s collection in Legacy to go along with Miner Megatron would be a really cool future Autobot Megatron from the same IDW comics.
Does this mean we could get a IDW Windblade and Drift at some point? Given the engineering for modern transformers figures I think they could do a better Windblade than Titans return
If you’ve got a screwdriver, you can swap the hands on Scourge & the Sweeps so that either figure has either 2 open hands or 2 closed hands. I gave Scourge the open hands since there more visually dynamic and still function like the closed hands, being able to hold 5mm pegs
Thanks for another deeply analytical review. I love that the Transformers team is giving attention to characters in the IDW universe. I personally hope they will use the amazing Kingdom Cyclonus figure as a base for IDW Powerglide. Not only does the engineering naturally lend itself to his Cybertronian alt mode, but the character design for IDW Powerglide was lean and lanky and would benefit from a voyager scale figure. 😃
That pack looks amazing. I love how idw megs has like a energon pickaxe and a drill bit insted of a fusion canon. Speaking of fusion, I like the evo-fusion gimmick.
I'd love to see this Megatron in G1 colors and with his iconic fusion cannon, idk why but it just looks so much better than the siege/earthrise mold to me.
Same with... ...Wait was Tesarus melter or shredder? Both are quite big boys. Sniper would be a Command Class and - ...Well I'd be surprised if they made Kaon, as he's... Electric Chair.
@@yakked_ Yeaaah that's true. Smelter, Shredder, Sniper, Electric Chair... I think only one from DJD with chance to be made into figure is Nickel, the Minicon. Who I admit is quite adorable.
These retools look wicked, however since Wreckers sets were mostly misses (mould degradation), I'm really cautious here (no doubt Ratbat & Megatron will cost an arm and a leg). Pickaxe, hmmm, Lord Straxus retool (Kingdom Galvatron should be fairly easy to modify).
I've recently started collecting and honestly, it's a lot of fun! Any time I end up getting a new figure I just instead watch you transform them instead of reading the instructions as Hasbro doesn't make some of them easy to understand. Great review!
another great review as always PVP, confirmed to me that i was right to order these sets. I ordered both of these sets from amazon Canada and Humble origins was delivered today...well, it wasnt, they sent the rise of tyranny set that was supposed to ship in August so I contacted amazon canada and asked them where the humble origins set was. After apologizing for the mix up Amazon Canada is sending out a humble origins set that will be here in a couple weeks and they cancelled the rise of tyranny set for august and told me to keep the one I got today for my inconvenience. Apparently this is happening to alot of Canadians that ordered both of these sets from amazon Canada. score.
IDW designs are incredible, and so underrated. My personal favourite is Ultra Magnus from the MTMTE series - I would adore an IDW updated Ultra Magnus, although combiner wars takara Magnus is basically a perfect figure of it. If they did a legacy IDW Magnus I'd hope it's either a new mold entirely or a reissue of combiner wars Magnus. Siege/kingdom Magnus is an abomination
I passed on all of the "Sweeps" but retools to the Scourge mold like Alpha Trion and now Ratbat here have their own personalities. And can't wait to get this preorder.
I’m not sure on this one megatron looks pretty good but ratbat looks ok.I’m not a fan of his vehicle mode that’s all.The robot mode is amazing tho.I wish these were new molds
I've got both of these origins sets on pre-order. The Orion Pax and Shockwave pack is due to ship out in July and the Megatron and Ratbat pack is due out in August. I've also got 2 of the figures from the new Toxitron subline on pre-order due to ship out in July as well.
@@shockcrusher8956 Hope yours was better than mine. I got mine yesterday but part of the box was dented and Amazon slapped the shipping stuff on the back of the packaging. Not only that, but they sent this set instead of the Humble origins pack which was said to be shipped out. I re-ordered this set from Hasbro Pulse this morning and I'm bidding on the other one on eBay.
That Impactor you showed in the comparison part is Marvel UK comics Impactor but we've already gotten the correct one / IDW version in the SIEGE 3-pack with Holo Mirage and Aragon. And I'd just leave Senator Ratbat's outer wings open in alt mode.
You should really read the comics. Autocracy and Monstrosity were awesome. We really need a proper mainline Orion pax super cop. Megatron and ratbat both looks dope
Fun Fact: I can't speak for the comics, but according to the Covenant of Primus book from the "Aligned Continuity" (Prime; War/Fall of Cybertron; Robots in Disguise 2015; RescueBots etc), before naming himself after Megatronus the Fallen in order to participate in the Gladiator Arenas, Megatron DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE A NAME!! Instead, as a miner, he was only known by the designation: "D-16"
I'd like a set based on Target 2006 from the Marvel UK comics. - Assassinated Wrecker Impactor - remold from Deluxe Impactor - Emirate Xaaron - remold from Core Class Megatron - Decepticon Macabre - remold from SS86 Scourge
altmode for miner megs feels lil boring for me personally, but that robot mode, damn. this is must buy for me the second i see him. as for ratbat, love both forms. if enough money, il get him too
I don’t have some of the molds in the new Buzzworthy 4 pack. So I might hopefully get that one. Since I missed out on the first 2. (Besides I got both Bumblebee and Goldbug from those 2 packs separately)
If I had a nickel for every time Senator Ratbat gets made using a Scourge mould... Well, I'd have two nickels, but it's weird that it's happened twice. Meme aside it's odd, but I kinda get why since Scourge has a very vampiric/bat-like design with those big "wings". I personally have the original Senator Ratbat figure (I think from the United Takara line?) But this one looks so good I don't want to pass him up either! Bring on the IDW designsssss
I don't get Megatron's weapon. A crossbow with a drill bit tip? They should have just gave him a cannon. Who uses a drill in battle? Definitely going to pick up this pair! Really dig Ratbat's alt mode. Very much like a Transformers The Movie classic design! 👍👍
He was a miner leading a rebellion, so he probably didn't have much on hand starting out. Plus, when youre literally made to dig, it suddenly gets a lot easier to get in melee range.
Not picking this one up because I’d rather look for Japan’s Generations Senator Ratbat on the secondary market, but I’m SUPER excited for Humble Origins.
On the Orion /Shockwave box is Nova Prime, it's just a rumour but fans think he'll be a retool of Leader class Galaxy Optimus, that's the figure I'm looking forward to.
Honestly? combined with his Vampire bat theme, and color scheme I find myself surprisingly open to the idea that his bat like "Wings" sort of wrap around him to form this protective Pseudo flying Space Coffin mode.
@PrimeVsPrime I have a theory. If there is the studio series gamer addition should we be able to see the angry birds transformers have a come back if so then we might see other transformers exclusive to their own game 🎮 If you agree then hit that like button 👇
I think Miner Megatron is a half-cooked one. Minor complain: Those ports on shoulders should be just 5 mm ports. Major complain: There should be something to stick between those arms and forearms in "drill tank" mode. As it is, it looks just bad. I wonder if you can stick this big gun-thing in between forearms.
If the rest of the comic retools are as good as this, I’m really excited for the next ones to come. Obviously I’d prefer brand new molds, but I always have liked seeing how creative Hasbro can get with their retools.
Ultra cool
Love that Hasbro are finally giving us figures of original comic designs after so long! Hope to see an IDW Rodimus and a new Windblade at some point. Galvatron and Optimus, among others, would also be awesome to see!
This and the 35th Anniversary Megatron seem like the most definitive and durable Siege uses.
Ratbat is amazing.
yes i love my 35th anniversary megs
Megatron looks amazing
He is pretty neat!
@@PrimeVsPrime agree
@@PrimeVsPrimeyou getting the upgrade kit for transmetal 2 megatron

The senator shockwave figure coming up is great! And HE IS AN AUTOBOT.😮
Yeah.I think somebody rebuilt him into the Decepticon evil scientist in the comics that we all know and love
Ok
I'd love to see this Megatron in G1 colors and with his iconic fusion cannon, idk why but it just looks so much better than the siege/earthrise mold to me.
I would love to see more members of the DJD be added to legacy. Tesarus could easily be a commander, with how huge he is
Same with... ...Wait was Tesarus melter or shredder? Both are quite big boys. Sniper would be a Command Class and - ...Well I'd be surprised if they made Kaon, as he's... Electric Chair.
@@duskbringer4583Tesaurus was the shredder and Helex was the melter.
@@JA-js8uk I always get those 2 mixed up. ...Know who we'd need though? Nickle.
Maybe also Overlord, been while he had new figure.
although it would be nice, i dont see hasbro release those officially just because they transform into literal torture devices.
@@yakked_ Yeaaah that's true. Smelter, Shredder, Sniper, Electric Chair... I think only one from DJD with chance to be made into figure is Nickel, the Minicon. Who I admit is quite adorable.
I think my favorite thing that PVP does is when he says “BANG!”, idk why it just gets me hyped 😂
Nice to give IDW one last hoorah with all these figures now that Skybound is doing the Transformers comics.
These retools look wicked, however since Wreckers sets were mostly misses (mould degradation), I'm really cautious here (no doubt Ratbat & Megatron will cost an arm and a leg). Pickaxe, hmmm, Lord Straxus retool (Kingdom Galvatron should be fairly easy to modify).
Finally a legacy megatron
Yes sir! 🔥
yeah it's not like they made Transmetal Megatron or Armada Megatron
@@mothman20 I meant a actual iconic megatron
@@TheAncientPrime ain't no way an idw Megatron is more iconic than ARMADA and TRANSMETAL Megatron 💀

Origin Megatron is bad ass! 🔥
@@PrimeVsPrime definitely Do wish he had a new mold but other than that he looks amazing
The dealing with the weapons in alt mode, kinda reminds me of Darkmount, from the Generations line.
That leg transformation is a really clever use of a thigh joint
I’ll get both packs eventually
I want to use rat bat as a stand in for megatronus and shock wave as sentinel prime
I've got both of these origins sets on pre-order. The Orion Pax and Shockwave pack is due to ship out in July and the Megatron and Ratbat pack is due out in August. I've also got 2 of the figures from the new Toxitron subline on pre-order due to ship out in July as well.

great job about RISE OF TYRANNY 2-Pack between MINER MEGATRON & SENATOR RATBAT from Transformers LEGACY EVOLUTION
That Impactor you showed in the comparison part is Marvel UK comics Impactor but we've already gotten the correct one / IDW version in the SIEGE 3-pack with Holo Mirage and Aragon.
And I'd just leave Senator Ratbat's outer wings open in alt mode.
I love the look of miner Megatron!
Me too! It’s a bad ass design! 🔥
The impactor from the mirage two pack back in siege is the one that would go with this dude.
Wasn’t sure if I was going to like this two pack, but after seeing it I think I might pick it up
Ratbat originally was a minion of Soundwave as a tape and his original function was feul surveyer
Damn, they look so nice, good job Hasbro, you sold me the same Megatron 5 times now😂
Yooo this is an actual sweet set! I want it ahah, very underrated versions of those characters and I love it
Wow! That's awesome, mate.
You should really read the comics. Autocracy and Monstrosity were awesome. We really need a proper mainline Orion pax super cop. Megatron and ratbat both looks dope
I'd be really cool to see Hasbro make a IDW universe Galvatron, which in my opinion, is one of Galvatron's best designs!
I totally agree because his tank mode is fire
They both look pretty gorgeous. Might have to pick these up!
Hell yeah I actually want this! I recommend getting the impactor in the siege 3 pack.
Awesome Review! This figures are great!
Both of these figures look fantastic. Really love the Senator Ratbat, especially. Guess I have to spend more money on Transformers figures now!
Hope we get Nova Prime and maybe if the “God’s” of Hasbro hear us, we could get both Big Convoy AND Decepti-God
I dream of Lord Straxus making a return. Would buy him so fast because hes my favorite Decepticon
Fun Fact: I can't speak for the comics, but according to the Covenant of Primus book from the "Aligned Continuity" (Prime; War/Fall of Cybertron; Robots in Disguise 2015; RescueBots etc), before naming himself after Megatronus the Fallen in order to participate in the Gladiator Arenas, Megatron DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE A NAME!! Instead, as a miner, he was only known by the designation: "D-16"
_Our_ energon, komrade! ⚒
Ok that’s badass 4:55
All of these sets have been awesome so far! I cant wait to get mine! I absolutely love IDW designs! I hope we get IDW Beast wars Nyx.
Seeing these figures gives me hope for other idw figures such as overlord and the rest of the djd
8:53 rather than a turret, I think this woks as a floodlight, which would also make more sense for a mining vehicle
I can see that.
This is a must have set
Those colour schemes do add a lot to the figures!
Awesome review as always. Can't wait for these Idw sets!
Bro megatron looks wonderful.ratbat looks like he could/should be in your collection❤❤❤by the way coolest weapons ever🎉🎉🎉
I wholly agree with the open-hands that RATBAT should've gotten.... oh, well... it is what it is...
The megatron is sooo sick bro cant wait until i get it
I'd like a set based on Target 2006 from the Marvel UK comics.
- Assassinated Wrecker Impactor - remold from Deluxe Impactor
- Emirate Xaaron - remold from Core Class Megatron
- Decepticon Macabre - remold from SS86 Scourge
Macabre would be very cool🤩
Man they look amazing
There is enough reissues and reloots of the siege of megatron Where you can make a whole line of Megatrons
Here's hoping for a Straxus retool down the line.
I want to get this so badly now
I’m taking a shot every time he says senator
altmode for miner megs feels lil boring for me personally, but that robot mode, damn. this is must buy for me the second i see him. as for ratbat, love both forms. if enough money, il get him too
The new torso does wonders for this figures proportions
I don’t have some of the molds in the new Buzzworthy 4 pack. So I might hopefully get that one. Since I missed out on the first 2. (Besides I got both Bumblebee and Goldbug from those 2 packs separately)
I hate that he’s a tank again. Wish they would of remolded a few more things to change its alt mode a bit
They look good, but I'll wait to see if they go on sale somewhere before I buy them.
Honestly, I rather pick Miner Megatron than Senator Ratbat. Because honestly, this version Megatron looks sick!
Okay miner Megatron looks cool
This is completely unexpected. I wish they would do completely new molds for these but I get it.
That ratbat is just wonderful! I do hope we get a leader legacy idw megatron with that stealth bomber mode!
Y’all think there gonna make a ROTB Transit figure and ROTB stratosphere when the disc and deleted scenes come out?
If I had a nickel for every time Senator Ratbat gets made using a Scourge mould... Well, I'd have two nickels, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
Meme aside it's odd, but I kinda get why since Scourge has a very vampiric/bat-like design with those big "wings". I personally have the original Senator Ratbat figure (I think from the United Takara line?) But this one looks so good I don't want to pass him up either! Bring on the IDW designsssss

On the Orion /Shockwave box is Nova Prime, it's just a rumour but fans think he'll be a retool of Leader class Galaxy Optimus, that's the figure I'm looking forward to.
I actually wanted to point out that you can try Centurion Drone's combined legs as a cannon & attach that drill then call it a day.
Honestly?
combined with his Vampire bat theme, and color scheme
I find myself surprisingly open to the idea that his bat like "Wings" sort of wrap around him to form this protective Pseudo flying Space Coffin mode.
Very cool video primevsprime
Thanks so much!
I Think This Transformers Rise Of Tyranny 2-Pack Is Amazing!
i imagine a lot of use for the siege megatron mold
Megatron is the only figure I care about in this pack
senator shockwave looks like a less jacked ultra Magnus
This is the prequel of Megatron, and it’s good!
Haha yes! Really cool!
G2 Megatron's the only one that hasn't yellowed
I love miners
Bit late with this review, I already had this set in hand a day or so before you uploaded this 🤷🏻♂️🤣

Aw, but the comparison I wanted was Ratbat with Soundwave... Soundwave was his thug in the comic, then betrayed him...
