Is The High Price Justified??? | #transformers Studio Series Concept Art Megatron Review - Zábava
You know Megatron's the goat when bro did not even appear in the movie but got himself a toy/figure

For fucking real!

You've heard of Triggerhappy shoulders, now get ready for Nitro Zeus knees
"Megatron must be bought... no matter the cost."
Edit: As Clawhauser from _Zootopia_ would say, "O-M-Goodness!"
I typed my comment just to tell everyone that I'm planning to get this Megatron figure, but I didn't expect my comment to get SO many likes! 😅
Thank you so much, guys!

Store worker at checkout : that'll be $79.99
The main draw for the concept figures for me, is just how much freedom they have with the figures. I could care less about a cybertronian vehicle mode, it can be a brick and it would make sense. But they can sacrifice that vehicle for an immaculate robot mode
If a good-looking robot mode is the only thing that gets priority, might as well release a non-transforming figure and cut out the fluff.
couldve just made it a model kit like the yolopark ones....
You would think that, and then they release BB Soundwave and Shockwave with less articulation than your average voyager.
You could care less?
So you do care?
I would have waited an eternity for this review
It's over mothbean
I, personally, think this Megatron is well worth the price in every regard.
>High amounts of articulation, including individually articulated index fingers and butterfly joints in the shoulders.
>No loose joints or general QC issues outside of a mid at best jet mode, and that's only because his arms don't peg in right on the underside.
>Plenty of engineering to ensure he's got a metric ton of fanmode potential, from a gun and a three-legged turret to Robots In Disguise 2001-inspired Hand and Elephant modes.
>Great paintwork and detailing.
Dare I say it, he's basically the perfect figure. I don't think I'll ever want or need another Megs after this.
Then they'll randomly retool it into IDW Megatron and it'll be peak everything.
@@shinzero0271for fucks sake i hope they do, i NEED an idw megs toy
That's exactly what I was thinking😆 I was even considering retiring Transformer collecting until they announced Shockwave lol
@@rangeetch.lahiri2120MMC megs is the best IDW megs I've seen. Pricey but worth it.
I saw one person on reddit give him a Metal Gear fan mode so that's a plus in my book
I'm gonna be one of the few people who likes the jet mode. Megatron has had a slew of bizarre cybertronian jet modes, and this one's the best as far as I'm concerned. transformation to jet mode takes getting used to, but it has a dedicated and defined nose cone and cockpit section, wings, and thrusters which is more than prime or animated can say for their Megatron's cybertron modes. Mounting the fusion cannon underneath not only looks natural, but it matches the under-slung guns the BBM seekers have, which really sells the idea that the decepitcons in this line are outfitted to take out ground targets, seeing as most autobots are land vehicles. And it just looks like a big, threatening aircraft, the kind megatron would turn into.
I think I hate all the movie jet modes for Megatron, but you are definitely right that this is probably the best.
I really like his jet. I don’t know what about it I like, but I know I like it. Not as good as TLK’s jet, but there something about it that makes me like it way more than TF1’s.
Personally, I would fold up the fusion cannon and put it on top of the jet mode to make it look like it has an asymmetrical thruster.
Actually, it turns out that there was a Blitzwing Megatron in the form of Marauder Megatron, meant to be sold alongside the never-made 4th season of Transformers Animated. Looking at the resin version of the toy, IT had a really nice plane mode.
Here's hoping they bring Megatron back on the big screens since the bayverse in not cannon anymore in the rebooted continuity.
someone on the movie’s production team said otherwise
@@primusvsunicron1 Unicron wants to eat earth in ROTB, Unicron is inside the earth in TLK, so is he eating himself?
@@BarberIDV910 TLK is an embarrassment

@@primusvsunicron1 Which is why a fresh start away from the bayverse with Bees spin off and a complete new continuity is a good idea.
Intro went harder than expected.
Fuck, the way you film still poses is awesome! Keep you the great work!
I’ve been waiting 20 days since when it was originally supposed to come out. Finally coming tomorrow
bro i gotta wait a extra month because gamestop fucked up my order
@@HelpfulPipsame, but I've got him pre-ordered on BBTS too so hopefully they come in clutch and ship it sooner 🙄
@@HelpfulPip I can’t understand how this guy is so hard to get. Amazon has him back at $55
It’s been about a decade since I last played Fall of Cybertron, but as soon as I heard the first note of those brass instruments, I immediately knew that was the title theme.
“DECEPTICONS!!!…I have returned.”
I got him yesterday, and I’m in love. He was sitting in a cart at target, not even on the shelf, just like a cart used for restocking. I was worried he wouldn’t ring up, but I got him for 40 bucks. I’m a big fan.
I wish mine would come anytime before March 3rd 😢
I always display my Transformers in Robot mode so them making that the priority with this Megatron makes me happy. I still like transforming Transformers but I just prefer Robots to vehicles in my display.
This feels like a studio series soundwave situation, where the alt modes are meh but the robot mode is literally perfect
I fall into an extremely niche demographic of people who want a figure with this robot mode, but that somehow transforms into a jet that more closely resembles the 2007 Megs jet mode. I really like that jet mode he had in that movie, and I'd love to see some connective tissue there.
Love that jet so much
I think what could've justified the price point other than the engineering would probably be some weapon accessories calling back to G1. Like maybe a mace, a sword as you said, or an extra gun to mount on his back to give him that g1 silhouette.
Other than those nitpicks, I hope to my wallet and back account I get my hands on this thing.
DITTO!!!
I gave him wfc siege megatrons sword for him to use as a sword/arm blade
"I am the dominator, I am the destroyer, I am MEGATRON!"
Concept Art Megatron is just a playtest for Legacy Gigatron lmao
1st honest review of this guy, that does not have the "I have it!" excitement?? possibly. GREAT review bro. good job. I told myself I was NOT hunting this one down or paying over retail. Glad I waited.
To make a back gun piece like he had in g1, take ss rotb scourges canon, take off the 2 pieces on ball joints, and stick the cannon on his back. Trust me it looks awesome.
This is a good Megatron, but he's not a class leader, he's a Voyager class
Leader class is not based on size anymore, but still……. Too expensive
it is when you look at the dinobots etc, it its a matter on whether a budget would work. if they made it a voyager, it probably would not likely be a triple changer. people have also discovered 3 other fan modes.@@etonymous1632

@@Fallen_huggy_prime oh Jesus. Heck no
Finally got him from my preorder and he’s excellent. He is in my top 10 best Studio Series of all time now. I’ve been wanting a G1 inspired Megatron Studio Series figure for a while and this figure does it justice.
Will wait for the better, bigger and cheaper in price KO.
Hasbro: heres a triple changer studio series bumblebee movie megatron
Me: alright i dont care much
The toy: i have forearm swivels and hip skirting that actually goes out of the way (as opposed to standard hip skirting, examplified by the yolopark amk pro megatron)
Me: take my money!
Honestly, both his altmodes are really cool. His Jet mode is the best one & looks the least like an afterthought. The Tank mode is pretty cool, but with a few tweaks, it would be perfect. & overall his botmode, & both altmodes are amazing, & I'd say are worth the $55 (USD) price. Especially that beautiful bot mode!!
I want this guy soooo much, but here in America he’s practically not out yet. He is out but he ether out of stock or already got up in price by 3 billion percent, so I’m gunna wait a bit. While I wait I’m gunna look for mpm barricade and bonecrusher.
I swear this sold out instantly and it has still not been restocked
the reason he is a leader is for engineering a nd tbh i say good thinking hasbro
Can I just say that FOC music goes so hard
This Megatron is surprisingly similar to the design for Transformers Universe Megatron. The treads going up through his legs, the general silhouette, the red parts on his shins etc. I would absolutely love to see Transformers Universe characters in gamer edition because the game had all original characters despite it never leaving beta.
The rest of the figure is amazing but the only thing that bugs me is the Fusion Cannon. That type of weapon should be intimidating as well as be huge
The robot mode is amazing little kibble nit pic is the mis matched colour on the fusion canna but very nice overall, the tank and jet don’t hit as well. The tank is alright the turret section is a bit weak and gappy but it’s passable, the jet idk the wings seem small and is wonky the fan modes are superior especially a tankor look tank alt mode or the gun.
A triple changing megatron is cool but this might’ve been better as a voyager with just 1 alt mode
Is it possible to use primal’s chain and battletrap’s mace to make his flail from g1? That might look real cool
The Fan Gun Alt mode is amazing
Pulse says I'm getting mine in MAY
and since I have so many other preorders (Omega Prime) I can't pay higher rates for it
pain
It would have been great to see a scene with prime and Megatron face to face and then have it cut to bumblebee looking out the window of the escape pod.
Thanks for the nice review. Studio Series Gamer Edition Megatron was good fun, but with those gimped knees of his, he gave me an itch for a more articulated Megatron - and this toy seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I'm kinda sad he didn't come with a sword as well, especially since he has the wrist joint for it, but hey - that's what I've got my other figures for.
And wow, I have to try out some of those fanmodes when I get him.
3:02 Right before watching this video, I had recently found my Earthrise Cliffjumpers bazooka thing and I was like "Hey, I've been trying to find a suitable back cannon for Meg's." so I put it on... And it's actually perfect. That Toy Guy, if you got an Earthrise Cliff hanging around and don't mind giving up his bazooka, putting it on Megatron looks fantastic.
That tank could use a shield or something a space filler for the turret, but aside from that, I really like it!
He really needs a shield or another weapon. I also had the idea of giving him the axe he had in tlk
When I first saw his tank mode I thought it was very chibi and cute
In the cybertron war scene, soundwave was holding a gun that looked like megatron.
They’re not making him a gun again.
I recently ordered Megatron along with Rumble two days ago and they’re being delivered today.
Lucky. My Rumble shipped on the 3rd but Megs won't be here till March 3rd 😢
His jet mode really gives off rotf megs, just this flat aggressive pancake that kinda sorta fits
He is a mini masterpiece. All filled up. Glad to have it 2.
I like the unofficial gun mode you can make out of him. Just paid for my full pre order payment so hopefully means hes going to be sent out to me soon in the UK. Im looking forward to also getting tital wave in a few months
There was a way to have megatrons arm cannon as a shoulder cannon I think.
That intro... That was beautiful
In my opinion i honestly like that this figures mouth is impossible to see because it gives the illusion that he sort of has a mask
how did you do the fan modes at the end? besides the gun mode, theres already a video on how to do that mode.
Got mine from Amazon CA last weekend. Size makes him a bit underwhelming at LC price, until you really look at the detail, paint articulation next to most other Leader class figures. Succeeds wonderfully as an action figure in how solid he and posable he is but not so much as a transformer as both modes don't feel worth the process to get there. Though the tank mode does present, and holds together fairly well it's passable at best. Reminds me of the thrilling 30s Blitzwing in how the arms form the turret. Side note. The canon can be pegged into the back and extended for the over the shoulder look very easily.
A Springer like that , yes indeed 🤟🏼
I was actually able to get this guy for $38 at my local target, the price wasn’t marked down on the shelf but when it was rung up apparently it was on sale
Y but at least it’s not as much as it is in my area. Leader class price is $95 more then $75
ahm ahm 108 dollars to Russia plus delivery plus waiting (I described how much this Megatron costs approximately in my country)
You’d think I WOULDN’T rent an entire bank to save up for this Megs?
That Toy Guy…”this is bad comedy!”
(Love the video btw!)
This is the only leader class I ever paid full retail price for, and man, is he damn worth it imo. The articulation and beauty of his bot mode is my perfect blend of classic and movie. Although the alt modes are indeed “not quite there”, the fanmodes save it for me. The figure easily replaces my TLK Megs, the posing goes wild and he actually feels solid and man.
Definitely way better in hand, flawed but FUN. I can actually mess around with him as a toy and as a display piece. That’s what Studio Series ought to be nowadays. If KOs do come about, it’ll be fun to make a custom Miner variant, or even WFC inspired gladiator.
Yea I knew I alr wanted him, after that posing section now im more sold than I alr was. I NEEEEED HIM
Anxiously awaiting mine. I do hear you on the jet mode but I'm fine with just the tank mode. Even so, that Cybertronian jet is immeasurably better than TFTM Megs, ROTF Megs, or BB Soundwave's alt mode.
The one thing I will say about this Megatron is that given what they accomplished here, makes me hopeful as to what can a Studio Series TLK Megatron can be like
Got mine for $50 off of Amazon. Amazon Warehouse had like 2 left in stock and I bought one. I got it in today.
I gotta wait til April for mine off Amazon
I hope I’m able to find this Megatron because I must have it in my collection of transformers
I think the jet mode looks more cohesive than the tank, and I like the shape it takes. I can't wait to get this guy in hand!
that gun mode goes hard, i must buy him
I would love to have a $60 Yolopark model kit of this design, would be sick!
omg the gun!!!!!! ok the metallic finish is rare to see, aesthetically he's reminding me of Flame Toys megatron, but THAT FANMADE GUN 🤯
Cool ass intro dude
Yep this is one of the best megatron figure alright
He looks amazing, unfortunately I was late with my pre order and now I have to wait till May till I get my hands on this.
Suggestion: if you have red cog then take the blue and silver piece plug it in megatrons back facing downward then add the sniper piece you get the back cannon
still waiting for my one, Stuck at the ports. suppose to come in early feb now going in late march
Just got mine today, he’s awesome
I’ve seen this guy also become a jet pack for prime it’s awesome
My wait for this figure felt like an eternity (joke intended), and I’ve not been able to put him down. Yes he was expensive for us Canadians but let me tell you man, I can’t believe this is a Hasbro release. The INSANE articulation, paint, sculpt work, and engineering happening on this one figure absolutely blows me away. I do agree that his alt modes aren’t amazing and he needed more accessories (gave mine Gamer Megatron’s mace), but good lord what a toy to get from a retail line. He easily holds the title of my favourite & best Studio Series Bayverse figure for the time being.
the fact that there's a fan mode that turns him into a gun is so cool. Fan modes are just accidental perks.
This is awesome you’re so cool that toy guy.
If they could've added some propellers, it could've looked a lot like Animated Megs.
My version had more loose knees so the extra thigh bits don’t move with them
You can put the gun that comes with wheeljack and ironhide on Megatrons back to make him look more g1
8:58 Looks like the Tanks from Terminator... Nice Alt mode...
"When will thattoy guy give us visual confirmation of SS109 megs?"
That Toy Guy: "Here's your confirmation"
The high price for these is NEVER justified
I can’t wait to get this figure for my collection
Have fun with that 👍
Good luck getting this on discount or in stores in general.
I'm always late in terms of buying figures for the actual retail price, lol. I honestly don't think it's worth $70+ that people are selling him for.
The same goes for that 102bb Optimus.
His head really reminds me of Radec from Killzone 2
I just got this guy and although the alt modes are eh but the bot mode is amazing!
The ONLY thing that bothers me about the actual design is that the back end of the cannon widens out so much and looks odd
The alt-modes remind me of the alt-modes of the first pretenders.
Fun fact both tfp and tf wfc/foc have music or themes remixing the autobot arrival by steve jablonski in the 07 movie and the music used in this from the foc game is the same thing juat changed slightly also kung fu panda 3 kais theme is a remix of the imagine dragons song im so sorry
Wow, this was a figure that I went "oh that's neat" and then never really gave a second thought. But I'm genuinely impressed after watching this, the alt modes I agree are pretty meh, but you get two of them and they're decent enough. But the robot mode looks really solid. Once you started going into the levels of articulation my ears perked up like "hold on, wait a sec" lol
Im ultimately not a fan of the face sculpt which is common with movie guys to me, but overall the articulation, detail and paint are really tempting. Definitely a clearance watch now
So are we not gonna talk about the fact that tbe head is just...there? And not in a ROTF good way
Christmas Starbucks! going in! going out out! man ever since i seen that comment about what the music sounds like i cant ever unhear it now, btw this megatron is glorious, i need him
Bro cooked with the intro
a flail mace would have been nice to have
Due to a fan mode, he can turn into gun. That alone sells him.
Bought my Megatron for retail price - still in box. Will resell it in 3 years for $50 plus shipping ($300)
i got him for $43usd yesterday, loving the toy. alt modes are kinda thrown together but definitely justified.
I wish Haslab could find a legal loop hold to make like and 18 and up ss pistol megaton!
