As someone who hasn’t been up to date with Transformers toys, I got curious about the Siege Megatron mold. Apparently, the Fractured Friendship 2-pack marks the 12th use of the Siege Megatron mold.
Honestly kinda wild that they did the two best versions of the Siege Megs mold last. Genuinely if this was like the second or third time we’d seen it it’d probably have been a lot better received. It’s too bad.
Considering I only have the original Siege version of the mold this would be only my second copy, so I actually am kinda interested. Plus, I like the weapons he comes with.
I know it wouldn't fit the timeline but imagine if they'd given us a mainline version of MTMTE Megs in this set. Maybe in a Co-Captains 2-pack with him and an IDW Rodimus? Hey I can dream, can't I?
Imagine what the final version of Megatron will be like. To be more specific I mean the version where he has the triple barrel fusion cannon, the iconic chromedome helmet, and other iconic Megatron traits that he shows in the movie when he’s full “Megatron mode”
I understand that for most people, this set is a hard pass because of the Megatron. But, for me, since I had to stop collecting right as Siege started, I never got that mold. So this is a must buy for me!
The funniest part about those arm cannons. The IDW comic that this mold comes from has a panel with Orion Pax even saying that they are purely decorative as he’s trapped in a closet without any other weapons while fighting with a bunch of thugs in the Rodian Police Station.
Got this a few days ago. There's something about the red plastic on Orion that feels really cheap. It's flexible, so the chest pieces can pop off pretty easily, and it just looks weirdly flat. Hope the ToyHax labels make it look better.
As much as i'd love a new mould for megs, this ain't a bad use of the siege mould. I wasn't a big fan of it in siege and earthrise, but i loved what they did with miner megatron, and thisbnew gladiator looks sick. So far it's my second favourite version of this mould. I just wish that they will finally retire it after this set
@@makswolanski5549 Agreed, for a start every time Megatron turned into a gun in the cartoon he mass shifted to fit in someone's (usually Starscream's) hand so coming with his gun form as an accessory would be more acurate than a gun mode in my book anyway. I just know it's a hot button for a small faction of fans.
Really cool figures and great review. But I gotta say, them hollow pieces are becoming a real pet peeve of mine. They remind me of those cheap knock offs I used to get as a kid from the flea market. Its cool to see 3rd party upgrade kits trying to fix that issue with some figures.
I wonder what Megatron's Cybertronian form looked like. I doubt it was a tank. Shame we can't have another gun. The pick and hammer is good since he was forced to work in the mines too. That mold for Pax is cool.
I liked the feature of the weapon being a replacement for their hand, leaning into how much they are Transformers by having their arm changing into the weapon, instead of them being vanilla with holding it in their hand.
Actually hoping to pick this two pack up - never got the previous Meg/Ratback pack because I couldn't care less about a 86 Scourge remold, and Orion fixes most of the problems I had with the GE Prime without it trying to replace my original deluxe WFC Prime
That Orion Pax/Optus Pexus mold is a better Gamer Edition Prime than Gamer Edition Prime. I know the SSGE is more game-accurate (like, a _lot_ more accurate) but this mold is just a much better figure.
Now that he wields the mysterious might of the awesome Laffy-Taffy mallet, I don't see how Megatron can be stopped. Orion should try to find the mysterious Matrix of the Everlasting Gobstopper to counter it.
I picked this pack up but just to get an IDW security officer Orion Pax to go with senator Shockwave. The gladiator Megatron would had been an easy pass, but will take up room on the shelve for now.
I fit in the camp of being a little bit angry thay the Gamer Optimus wasn't nearly as good as this remold. They fixed every grievance I had with the mold. He's the a little bit taller, he's got the hands covered in vehicle mode, and he can hold the gun without removing the arm. I really love the Gamer Edition Optimus figure but he would've been so much better if they'd just gotten it this good the first time.
Oh LORD it has heen too long since I've been here 😅😮💨 First time in so long and the first comment that sticks out is "Thats what this figure does to me, he makes my tongue stop working" 😂 As MUCH as this mold just needs to be trashed and replaced by something new, this really is the only mold that could wirk for IDW Megatron with the front tank treads housed on his back, every other Megatron that's outside of IDW should have been a completely different mold each time. I enjoy how the D-16 miner Megatron and Gladiator Megatron look in this mold. And you know hasbro is trying to reel you into buying this when they give Megatron 4 accessories. 2 from the previous Megatron and 2 exclusive for a Gladiator Megatron. The IDW security officer Orion Pax, Hasbro retioling the Studio Series Gamer edition Optimus eas a very smart move while also incorperating the upper body detailing from his Humble Beginnings release. The base figure as itself, its a work of art that I. MUST. HAVE. Then you olug un his double barrel wrist blasters and thats where grown men weep tesrs of joy. This figure is incredible for something that is a HEAVY retool from gamer edition. I found it funny how Hasbro included the cannon handle from the GE upgrade kit made by DNA, for once they learned frim their mistakes 😅 I dont know if its just me but i always get excited for a matrix of Leadership thats not just a reuse from all those Seige, Earthrise and Kingdom releases. The colours just work so well for these two and Im all for it, but now that i think about it, my wallet is going ti be screaming at me, "Lord gave mercy on me" 😂 I need this set, Pax's original set with Senator Shockwave and D-16s original set with Senator Ratbat. I hooe we see the likes of Sentinel Prime and Megatronus Prime at some stage
Im sure its similar for others due to how many times this mold has been used but my Megatron's hips and knees are super loose. He cannot hold most poses.
The only thing that'll be fractured is my bank account because that is a hefty price point. Still wanna get it tho, i personally like the Megatron mold a bit, but the SS WFC heavy re-tool for IDW's Orion Pax is pretty damn great
Is it just me or does the front of Orion's truck mode have slight similarities to armada prime's truck mode,think of it big blue windshield and a red similar truck face,non canon thing saying that orion pax upgraded into armada prime lol
Seeing the pink on those Energon accessories, reminded me of a question I’ve had for a while: Is light blue the natural color of unrefined Energon and pink is the color it becomes once refined and safely processed to use and consume? (I know it depends on the continuity, but generally speaking, is Energon light blue unless processed into a form safe to use, at which point it becomes pink, or is it the other way around? Or is it like, Energon at its base, regular form, is blue or pink, but can change what color it is based on how it’s processed and what it’s used for? I know in TF Prime, green is the color of Synthetic Energon, (although Toxic Energon is also green, but a more darker, muted green) but in Bumblebee, Energon seems to be green, but only when it’s running through other machines, and when Transformers are connecting themselves/their technology to other machinery. In Transformers Rise of the Beasts, Energon is shown to be on Earth, and glows light blue when activated, so I think it might be dependent on where the energon is, where it’s going, how it’s being processed, and what it’s being used for. But hey…that’s just a theory! A TRANSFORMERS THEORY!!!
I simply refuse to spend $75 on two Voyager class figures, both of which are retools of existing molds, of which Megatron is the 14th variation of the impossibly outdated Seige mold. When this set goes on clearance for $3.50, I MIGHT consider picking it up, but not before then...
I never thought I’d see the day where an official, more affordable version of Optus Pexus would exist, yet here we are
Do you mean Orion Pax? 💀
@@Saturnlock Same figure, really. I was joking about its affordability because Optus Pexus is the only other figure of IDW Orion Pax
It looks terrible though... well, compared to its 3p counterpart
@@fernandoflores3161 It also costs a quarter as much and is a main-line figure.
"affordable"
This Megatron mold is the alpha bravo of transformers now
Seige Megatron dethroned Alpha Bravo about 6 retools/repaints ago...
"Orion Pax is waiting for his blaster to charge, didn't know that was a thing...TRANSFORMERS!"
Lol
"We were brothers once!"
"Once..."
Man that Orion is a helluvan upgrade to the SSGE WFC Prime mold
Hasbro one-upping DNA Design with this one, especially the foot engineering.
Prime: "We could've built the future together"
Megatron: "I don't think so"
Megatron is voiced by Christopher Lambert? xD
@@carlosrodrigoaguirre1788 no he voiced by mile’s dad from Spiderverse
@@redalert923 - Its a dumb joke of mine. I just love how Rayden, in the original MK movie, says "I dont think so". :p
I love how EMGO references Cy-Kill's death in the end skit (see IDW's Megatron Origin)!

Megatron looks good in that color scheme the mold isn't a problem for my opinion
Good thing your opinion doesn't count outside your exceptionally small sphere of influence...
The mold itself isn't the problem, it's that they keep pushing this mold out. Be nice to see something new
Agreed! I love the deco on this Megatron.
I know it wouldn't fit the timeline but imagine if they'd given us a mainline version of MTMTE Megs in this set. Maybe in a Co-Captains 2-pack with him and an IDW Rodimus? Hey I can dream, can't I?
13:33 you can make it into battle damage arm .
Imagine what the final version of Megatron will be like. To be more specific I mean the version where he has the triple barrel fusion cannon, the iconic chromedome helmet, and other iconic Megatron traits that he shows in the movie when he’s full “Megatron mode”
Man, I literally can’t stop playing with this Orion Pax, truly a great upgrade over the original mold, and a great figure overall
I understand that for most people, this set is a hard pass because of the Megatron. But, for me, since I had to stop collecting right as Siege started, I never got that mold. So this is a must buy for me!
_A few days later..._
"I HATE YOU!"
"You were my brother, Megatron... I loved you."
Orion got the high ground 🙌
13:29 Well you can make a scene as foreshadowing that Optimus needs a hand... Preferably with a fusion cannon connected to it.
22:20 totally wouldn't do that ever 😳👀
The funniest part about those arm cannons. The IDW comic that this mold comes from has a panel with Orion Pax even saying that they are purely decorative as he’s trapped in a closet without any other weapons while fighting with a bunch of thugs in the Rodian Police Station.
And then when he forces his way into the senate building, they have smoke coming from them. So the real question is: are they decorative or not?
And as for Orion pax he looks muscular like Optimus prime it should be love the mold
I can see the new Prime being a Magnum custom. Needs alot of toyhax love
Been watching you since the prime skits, came across you again to see you still going. Love to see it 🫡
I like the head under the windshield in alt mode makes him like he is actually looking at the road while driving
Stabeley...
Yep, now it's a word!
I’m sick and tired of the Megatron that Optimus has me really craving a war within design.
Thanks, was on the fence for this set, but now I’m definitely going to get it
awesome job about Legacy FRACTURE FRIENDSHIP MEGATRON and ORION PAX Action Figure from Transformers
The sword looks like it belongs to Orion pax
Got this a few days ago. There's something about the red plastic on Orion that feels really cheap. It's flexible, so the chest pieces can pop off pretty easily, and it just looks weirdly flat. Hope the ToyHax labels make it look better.
The chest pieces have never popped off on my copy. Your mileage may vary 🤷🏻♂️
I like how this Orion Pax can be a cybertron version of G1 and Armada Prime
As much as i'd love a new mould for megs, this ain't a bad use of the siege mould. I wasn't a big fan of it in siege and earthrise, but i loved what they did with miner megatron, and thisbnew gladiator looks sick. So far it's my second favourite version of this mould. I just wish that they will finally retire it after this set
I think a leader class SS86 is coming next year, it'll still be a tank but they'll likely retire it after this year.
@@medafan53 i don't mind it being a tank, the gun altmode was always kind of dumb to me, so as long as it's a good fogure im down for it
@@makswolanski5549 Agreed, for a start every time Megatron turned into a gun in the cartoon he mass shifted to fit in someone's (usually Starscream's) hand so coming with his gun form as an accessory would be more acurate than a gun mode in my book anyway.

I really get the feeling that you truly are tired and bored with the Seige Megatron mold in this review. 🤣🤣
re used gamer primes parts. gotta love it
It’s a nice recreation from the upcoming Transformers One Movie.
I wonder what Megatron's Cybertronian form looked like. I doubt it was a tank. Shame we can't have another gun. The pick and hammer is good since he was forced to work in the mines too. That mold for Pax is cool.
I want a propper scifi excavator megatron instead of a "drill tank"
I just got this set yesterday! Orion Pax kicks ass!!
BURRITOs vs Pizza Bagels!!!!
I’m going to use the sword with my Armada Prime as a stand in for the Star Saber. I feel like the proportions will work.
I liked the feature of the weapon being a replacement for their hand, leaning into how much they are Transformers by having their arm changing into the weapon, instead of them being vanilla with holding it in their hand.
Looking damn good there

Hey Emgo!!! Don't worry bro, because the good news is,
"all words are made up!!" 😂😂 Love the vid man, keep em coming!!
Pictured here: Megatron in his emo teen phase and a mold that I wish was just a little taller.
As someone who never got war for Cybertron trilogy Megatron figure, see this pack as a great 2 pack
Now that he wields the mysterious might of the awesome Laffy-Taffy mallet, I don't see how Megatron can be stopped. Orion should try to find the mysterious Matrix of the Everlasting Gobstopper to counter it.
The hardest part of this movie is when you see there friendship turn to enemies
The figures are based on the idw designs used in Chaos theory part 1 and Chaos theory part 2

Yeah my miner megs also has bad ankle and knee joints. Amazon special huh

Drill handle should by done better in vehicle mode. But I like them.

Would love to get this but if I do it’s likely I’ll find it second hand years from now if at all

Coulda given Megs a crest head instead of the hammer.
Honestly only the optimus prime is worth it. I love your reviews legend❤🎉

Am I wrong or I see MEGS knees not weak anymore...
I think ima definitely get it
These 2 have a very broken Friendship they need Friendship lessons
From Princess Twilight Sparkle that's MLP joke btw
The alt mode looks like a SUV

¿Can the legs be swaped between theose primes?
How do you get this?
Where do you get all these transformers at?
It’s always said in the video and there’s always links in the description.
