Dude, I haven't watched your channel in years. I just remembered you and wanted to check if you are still posting and you are. Glad to see you are still good 8 years later.
Lol my greetings to you. I’ve been watching for around 12 years and I agree it’s great to see him still going strong. Now that you mention it, CZcams will feel a lot emptier once balt stops making reviews
Glad you compared him to the original. I think they could have touched on some transmetal figures before this guy, but I'll admit he looks really, really good. TM Depthcharge or Rampage? Tigerhawk? Sure would be nice...
Benefit of the exposed robot fist: you can attach a compatible blast effect so you can pose it with another figure to make it look like the dragon mode got shot in the neck.
0:57 Mordor theme playing in the background. 6:39 Gigatron; 🎶Take me out to the ball game. Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack. Don't worry if you forget. Root. Root. Root for the home team. If they lose it's a shame. Cause it's ONE! TWO! THREE, STRIKE! YOU'RE OUT! In the old ball game!🎶
I had thd 90's version as a kid and will always be a favorite.. But as soon as this one can be bought outright instead of pre-ordered i'll be picking it up. Since I just got legacy inferno the other day i'm only missing this dragon megatron, tarantulas and terrorsaur
Fun fact: if you take a close look at beast machines Megatron. You'll notice it's the same model as transmetal 2 Megatron, with different eyes and texture.
About the head, DNA is coming out with an upgrade kit for this guy. There's some extra accessories like the judges wig (in 1 episode lmao) but it also comes with a couple new more show accurate faces.
found one amidst a horde of galvatrons, and told the mrs. "you cant stop me." definitely getting the 3rd party upgrades for it to fix the face and chest.
Just wanted to note that there are mushroom pegs in the dragon neck that will snap easily if you try to rotate any of those joints. They're not meant to swivel.
The head sculpt could also be for Cryotek,because it might’ve been cheaper to design a head that would work for both characters than to design two different heads.
I'm definitely getting this figure. I always wanted to get the original, and now I have a better option. My main nitpick, aside from the gold box in dragon mode, is that the tail isn't long enough. That and the wings could have had a few more "arm" joints for more poseability options. As for the box, they definitely could have done something with the shoulder armor on yhe dragon head, like made it rotate or flip down to make it look better and cover up the flaps.
Yeah he is a great figure, really like him and I enjoy switching him back and forth and that dragon mode is just muah. Here's to hoping the generations selects will put out his blue repaint....cryo...something. I'd be down for that.
You know when people want to make a dragon look scary then make the pupils disappear this makes their eyes look like they're glowing and about to make you explode with fire
Mine came in today and the transformation is smooth, my only issue is that when returning to robot mode the head section seems Ike it doesn't want lock in
Maybe i could Repurpose this Dragon Megatron is actually a Clone of BW Megatron in Transmetal 2 Form, but with incorrect parts, like that Gigatron's/2001 RID Megatron's Face, after all, after some Complaints and Hate on this, i Love this so much, although i swear this will turns to Cryotek later, soon after.
Cant wiat to get my hands on one for myself and my nephew!!! Honestly I think it's near perfect. Though it's a shame they couldn't make his beast chest a detachable shield, mybe making some of the dragon neck joints tighter, and the face plate.... Other than that it's a super cool figure and makes me excited to when they tackle beast machines
I've already got my beast wars Megatron so I'll hold off on buying this one, however if they do repaint him into RID Megatron then there's no egregious shipping cost that'll stop me from buying it.
Shame the head is wrong, i think some channel that reviewed it early mentioned it was a production issue that caused the wrong face, but I can't remember specifics
His back piece bugs me so much.. their is actually a peg that makes it fits better but it makes megatron head rise up and not fit properly.. I wonder if it's just a mistake on the figure.
It scales with him properly. But it also means that they both don't scale accurately with the other BW figs, since POTP OpOp is undersized (like this one) to fit the Leader Class budget. But with only the 2 of them alone, the scaling is on point.
I believe Hasbro will extensively retool Legacy Transmetal II Megatron into RID 2000 Universe Megatron (or create a new RID 2000 Universe Megatron mold with shared engendering to this toy)!
The only things I don't care for on this figure the robot head and he don't look transmetal 2 with the mismatch parts he don't even look transmetal. It's just an awesome Dragon Transformer. 3rd party will fix the face on robot mode. I can see this coming out in Blue Cryotech any one?
How? It's just a normal face. Besides, the face of the new one doesn't look anything like the show either so if the original toy's face was a problem they still have no excuse.
It’s not perfect. how are people so blind to aesthetics when the dragon neck just looks stuck on and doesn’t blend better into the body like the original does ( to a better extent) For this price point? Miss.
The neck is what it is. I don't think they could have made it much better while still keeping it ball jointed and posable to such an extent. What i am concerned is its weight. Primevsprime reported it is much lighter compared to other leader figures like t rex megatron. I am concerned of cheaper/weaker plastics. The fire club is also quite lame.
So stoked for this to come out here, he looks fantastic! Great video
Hi That Toy Guy!
Too bad he didn't compare it with power of the primes optimal optimus, I have them both and they're inseparable rival figures

Rumors claim we're getting Tigerhawk in the future.
@@TimeLord675 where is the rumor come from?
Only transmetal Megatron is left.
I just know Jobby is gonna go crazy about this. 😂
He normally doesn't review mainline hasbro stuff. Only when he first started reviews, and the Primal/Cyclonus two pack from BBTS
This review of Transmetal 2 beast wars Megatron was immaculate. Yes.
Benefit of the exposed robot fist: you can attach a compatible blast effect so you can pose it with another figure to make it look like the dragon mode got shot in the neck.
I actually did that! Looks morbid to see him "bleed" out a blast effect.
@@slugmaligma9248 Morbid? Yes. But cool? Hell yes.
This is what Legacy is all about. Hasbro blowing a hole in the scalper market and making a chunk of change in the process.
I'm mostly a G1 guy,but I have to say that the alt mode is one of the coolest beast modes ever. An excellent review as always!

I wanted the original version growing up and this will more than make up on what I missed. Can't wait to see the upgrade video.
That head sculpt is giving me The Last Knight Megatron vibes
I love this guy 😻
I hope we get TM1 Megs at some point, it's weird how they done this first.

This is my favorite alternate mode of any Transformer.
Can't wait to pick up this big guy!

I’ve been watching you since I was 5, I’m 73 now
It's always nice to get a Transformer with an alt mode that doubles as a mini for Dungeons & Dragons.

I passed on the kingdom Megatron when I heard this one was coming out so cant wait to get him

great job about Transformers Legacy Transmetal 2 MEGATRON | VIDEO REVIEW
Can't wait for a Cryotek repaint. A matted Navy Blue with a glossy Azure would make it look wonderful.
Still waiting.
EXCELLENT YYYYYEEESSSSSSSS
Much happier with this guy then I'd thought I'd be. In the promos it looked like they slapped a dragon head on a robot body. Glad that isn't the case.
Megatron does not yield, HE CONQUERS!
You know when people want to make a dragon look scary then make the pupils disappear this makes their eyes look like they're glowing and about to make you explode with fire
You started transforming it and I just instantly went 😮 it’s earthrise grapple
Tell me a Gigatron figure is coming without telling me a Gigatron figure is coming.
Mine came in today and the transformation is smooth, my only issue is that when returning to robot mode the head section seems Ike it doesn't want lock in
We want an upgrade kit with the Judge’s hair 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, I hope to see Cryotek repainted from Megatron. It makes sense.
Cant wiat to get my hands on one for myself and my nephew!!!

Wait wait wait.
The dragon mode
Has _jazz hands_
When he gets mad he transforms into a dragon
I never had the original. Just realized it is similar to Tigerhawk.
Now Cryotek, Yessss!
I need this figure!!
I'll wait for the Cryotek version, if they should make it.
i still have the original...and it was amazing, too.
The one thing about this figure I find hilarious is that you get to shove Megatron's head up his butt in dragon mode.
Gotta give credit to the one who did the engineering of this figure.
Never was a fan of Transmetal 2 Megatron, but damn if this figure not making me see the light!
Yesss...
I find it funny that all of beast wars megatron he had all powerful looking beast mode but the downside is they all had tiny little arms
they sculpted the BW megatron teeth on it but someone came along and painted a jack-o-lantern mouth on it
I think you forgot Power Of The Primes Optimal Optimus
Bro can you compare it to the potp optimal optimus
that original transmetal 2 Megs needs cleaning badly. I do like the colors of the original, hopefully toyhax can fix that.
What do I think? I'm thinking he needs to be mine
I hope we get a legacy Transmetal 1 beast megs
i hope we get a Cryotek from this
Great review! Need to dust off original version.
I've already got my beast wars Megatron so I'll hold off on buying this one, however if they do repaint him into RID Megatron then there's no egregious shipping cost that'll stop me from buying it.
The right shoulder and robot mode was screwed on backwards so I had to unscrew it and fix it I don't know how it got past QC but it's fixable
Shame the head is wrong, i think some channel that reviewed it early mentioned it was a production issue that caused the wrong face, but I can't remember specifics
@baltmatrix The face sculpt is not wrong, it is the correct one from the show (2:41). Not sure why you all think this.
I don’t like that his back piece doesn’t tab in like it’s supposed to and if you do tab it in his head untabs
Oh I can tell third parties will make a double sword weapon that turns into a massive gap filler.
His back piece bugs me so much.. their is actually a peg that makes it fits better but it makes megatron head rise up and not fit properly.. I wonder if it's just a mistake on the figure.
A shame he didn’t come with the beast machine mantle he had
Curious how this scales to that Optimal Optimus from Power of the Primes
It scales with him properly. But it also means that they both don't scale accurately with the other BW figs, since POTP OpOp is undersized (like this one) to fit the Leader Class budget.
But with only the 2 of them alone, the scaling is on point.
I believe Hasbro will extensively retool Legacy Transmetal II Megatron into RID 2000 Universe Megatron (or create a new RID 2000 Universe Megatron mold with shared engendering to this toy)!
I really hope we get an RID 2001 Megatron legacy figure one day
@@Dektoonics_inc. With his 6 alt-modes! (10, if we get a Galvatron repaint/retool)
No hotrod mode, no buys.
Kind of a let down to me, i would of loved it to be as big as optimal optimus, but i guess that why they said they were gonna release a new one
The only problem with this figure is it face. Hopefully somebody will do it upgrade kit
Just so you balt but you should review studio series 109 bumblebee movie concept art megatron 🎉 it will make cry for how good it is
Sorry for the message mistake
Dragon
While I love Beast Wars, I *hate* the transmetal modes. Saying that, this fig is tempting.
I see all transformers
Where did you acquire this boy
they have it on amazon and hasbro pulse
The only things I don't care for on this figure the robot head and he don't look transmetal 2 with the mismatch parts he don't even look transmetal. It's just an awesome Dragon Transformer. 3rd party will fix the face on robot mode. I can see this coming out in Blue Cryotech any one?
I dub him tm2 Gumitron.
I think they changed the face cause the original’s is possibly considered a little offensive
How was it offensive? First I’ve heard of it and I still can’t see it.
How? It's just a normal face. Besides, the face of the new one doesn't look anything like the show either so if the original toy's face was a problem they still have no excuse.
@@Martynde It looks like blackface
