The Devil Ostrich mode did actually appear in the Legends manga in 2017, so RiD1 Megs is officially up to eleven modes.
I love how megatron went from being a gun to being a gun with treads
I made this same comment. As if tanks are safer somehow....
"An alligator is not an intimidating alt-mode for Megatron" is the most Floridian thing I've ever heard out of TJ's mouth.
I bet he eats 10 of those things for breakfast every morning.
I actually love his armada tank mod is have some really cool colors and dark design and i love his energon jet mod,i know its kinda heavy but still stand for now days imo and the chad of the chads to me is cybertron megatron because of his colors and car-jet mod to be honest
The Unicron trilogy had some of the best Megatron designs imo because they were all so different from his traditional look, but somehow still managed to feel appropriate to Megatron as a character. When I first saw his design in Cybertron I didn't really care for it, but when he was recolored as Galvatron it instantly became one of my absolute favorites.
Agreed. The armada tank looks imposing, full of gimmicks and firepower. Energon is a bit more sleek yet still looks dangerous, and toy wise I frankly love how he transforms. Cybertron is way more extravagant and in universe more sorta of energy/magic advanced than firepower or weaponry but did still have a few of those. Car mode very batmobile kinda look and while the jet isnt quite so elegant it was nice being a triple changer.
I Agree that the Unicron Trilogy Megatrons had good designs. Armada had that great H-Tank with base play for the mini-cons. Energon Had a fun to swoosh spaceship mode and a fun little tank drone based off of his Armada vehicle to be his arm cannon/sword scheme was so-so and looked better IMO when he got the Galvatron repaint)
I feel like I had a stroke while reading this...
@@Sammytheflaaffyfan i remember you,you are the person who hate me for only saying that my father likes beast wars/beast machines Man you need to get a life
Thinking of RID Megatron's hand mode just gave me an idea.
Wouldn't it be cool to have some sort of super combiner, so instead of 1 guy turning into an arm,then sticking a hand on, 1 guy turns into an upper arm, one turns into a forearm and then a smaller guy turns in to a hand (x2),then the same thing with legs; 1 guy turns into the upper leg, one turns into the lower leg, one turns into the foot, then perhaps 2 larger guys combine as the torso, and then a final guy turns into the head
It'd be massive, but it'd be epic.
There’s something very funny about the Legends comic writers going “We need a Green Megatron!” and instead of going with G2 Megatron they instead chose to repurpose a Ratchet figure.
Megaton should turn into the M65 ‘atomic cannon’, because turning into a tactical nuke gun on wheels is something a scary alien robot would do
To me, Megatron is the best out of the core four Transformers entirely because he’s the one who’s allowed to be the most different and experimental, both as a character and as a design.
I think the unicron trilogy has the most solid design philosophy.
Armada Megatron is armed to the teeth with all sorts of hidden weaponry, fitting for a tyrannical warlord who has been fighting for millions of years. Prepared for every encounter and every battle.
Energon Megatron was him rebuilt into a new form by himself with no restrictions. He basically looks like what the Armada Megatron would imagine the ruler of the galaxy to look like. Wings, tons of weaponry and a crown.
Cybertron Megatron is the culmination of the entire Unicron Trilogy. After being in contact with Unicron for the entire duration of Energon, it would make sense that he would finally complete the fusion. He is the ultimate Dark Lord, the Emperor of Destruction often referenced by the japanese transformers series, and is no mere mortal transformer.
Exactly
This is such a good take. Unicron trilogy Megatron always felt like an especially egotistical version of the character, so it only makes sense that he would constantly be upgrading himself to be as powerful as possible, especially with his connection to Unicron in Energon / Cybertron.
Too be fair, Cybertron Megatron shouldn't even be considered the same as Armada/Energon Megatron. This analysis is really good, but just doesn't stand considering the unicron "trilogy" itself
Hoping this becomes a series of some sort, I thoroughly enjoy this style and format
Agreed.
In a way the helicopter is intimidating because you can hear it coming, and the fact that its an attack chopper means nowhere is safe haha.
I have never been a fan of G1 Megatron's original gun mode. You mentioned how silly it is to have Starscream hold him and that's true, but I've also just felt size changing was too much of a cheat to justify certain alt modes. I much prefer the recent tank focus for G1 Megatron - Megatron in Transformers Devastation is pretty much perfect in terms of look and alt mode.
what's nuts is that in the comics he used to turn into a human-sized gun, not a transformer-sized gun.
agreed, devastation is the definitive megatron for me, just if it wasn't cel shaded looking, i know it has it's own charm, but eh
My favorite Megatron alt mode is probably the Red Dragon because dragons are like my favorite mythical creatures
I wish I had the beast wars dragon Megatron. If memory serves that one was very high in demand at the time and sold out super fast.
I still think it's kind of crazy that it took until 2019 for Megatron to finally get a toy that I'd consider a really logical standard for him- voyager class, tank mode, G1 colors and design, no gimmicks. Siege was the first time all that actually came together in one toy. He's had figures with most of that, but in deluxe class or leader class, his Titan's Return version was a gimmick-heavy headmaster/triplechanger/Blitzwing mold, he had a Cloud version that was close, but with Bludgeon's samurai look, and other versions were either not a tank or not g1 colors. And even with Siege, he technically wasn't an earth tank, so 2020's Earthrise version would arguably be an even more logical standard (I personally prefer the Siege mold, though).
On another note, I really like how they handled the recent Core class Megatron. The tank barrel detaching to become a version of his original gun mode was a brilliant idea.
Also I vote Soundwave to be next in line for this kind of video.
tank will always be the definitive megs altmode for me, it’s what i grew up with and it still fits the character perfectly, even lending to some pretty natural conversions when they can be bothered
Great vid TJ, I had a feeling RID Megatron would show up with his HAND mode.
I think if there's at least one more character this can be done with, that's Soundwave. With how the guy clearly was originally a cassette player, there's been way too many attempts to reinvent him while keeping his looks partially.
7:05 Thank you so much, I've always felt like that and thought it was dumb for them to be able to scan literally everything
Create-a-bot enters the chat.
I’m still sad that sea turtle Megatron never became a thing
He's digging up dirt because that's where the Minicon is.
If they did a armada style megatrons with G1 like head and aesthetics, I would get that. The armada head could be a gimic.
Megatron would make a good supertank.
Who is Megwtron?
@@udhayveersingh1855 Fixed it
Dragon Beast Wars Megatron also worked well given the internal symbolism of him literally being the Cybertronian Devil/Anti-Christ.
I've said this on other websites and I'll say it here. Optimus _really_ lucked out with the original toy he got compared to Megatron.
I really wish we'd get either a rerelease or a new version of RiD Megatron. If Hasbro is too chicken to have him be a gun again, at least make him a deca-changer!
Alternatively, they tend to go with a tank instead of a firearm… I mean, it’s still technically a gun… just… it can move on its own…
Also, mass-shifting has kinda fallen out of favour in the franchise, so yeah
Fun fact: the Walther P38 Megatron with the scope and silencer and stock is unrealistic, however its a reference to the weapon used in the old television series "The Man From U.N.C.L.E" Which was popular in Japan at the time. During Microchange it was even advertised as being associated with the TV program.
Presumably the attachments made the gun more dangerous in the same way that all the stuff hanging off of KITT's "Super Pursuit Mode" in Knight Rider made it faster.
I have an affectation for the original Megatron. I got into it to late to get him, but he was in the comics and cartoons so I had to have him. I eventually traded a kid Galvatron for him and did not regret it. One of my holy grails of Transformers collecting is to get an original Megatron. It’s not just nostalgia but that his alt mode is such a basic blunt instrument and that it’s illegal to sell on the toy market. But beyond that, it was an illogical alt mode and his robot mode was rather inelegant. I mean the comics and cartoon fixed that up, but can you imagine his toy accurate robot mode in cartoons?
And I didn’t realize till just recently that above his head is supposed to be a crest or crown, not a raised visor with eye slots.
I was expecting the flying crab tank from ROTF but these are just as bizarre! I would say that Bumblebee could make an interesting video of this format as he had so many odd alt modes (so many licensed cars as well), but I would wait til we see what that beast mode Bumblebee is about in the Rise of the Beast toyline.
I liked the Beast Machines Overlord Megatron. Menacing, Scary, and Brainiac flying head just Screams "Megatron took over, Deal With It!".
I think Megatron should have a triple-transformed version, a robot, a tank, and a giant bazooka, in the tradition of him being turned into a weapon and being held.
And if you want Megatron to have the ability to grow and shrink, then you should make all Transformers have the ability to grow and shrink. Turn Autobot Transformers into human size and talk to human characters.
There was actually one bit of fiction with the devil ostrich, it appears in a legends tie in manga that was a sequel to the unite warriors tie in mangas. I don't remember which one it's specifically in, but it is there because of course legends referenced the ostrich.
13:00 actually crocodilians are very fast on short distances, so a crocodile megatron would still be fast and dangerous
17:41 Honestly now that I think about it the idea of a grey bear with some scarring detail could be an interesting beast mode for Megatron.
12:29
Brothers at last.
Alligators actually move pretty quickly, when they want to. They can easily catch up to most humans running in a straight line.
Machine Wars megs is looking pretty awesome
Somebody else has probably already said this but we actually got an Optimus gun! I’ll link a review or whatever if I can find one
Found a review so here you go m.czcams.com/video/mLa0NUzRdws/video.html
12:10 Optimus Prime never became a Gun
But He turned in a Tank in a Comic
(I don't remember it was in the Video about Optimus Prime's Alt-Mode but that version of Optimus doesn't have a Toy, it appears only in the IDW Comics)
again, KUDOS to Beast Wars 2nd for having the MOST Megatron molds in that tory line xDDDD
Maybe Megatron was thinking about giving the Autobots a backhand slap.
if you think about it gun Megatron is the first-ever Targetmaster. though I think Megatron being a tank works way better.
I think it would be kind of meta if Megatron transformed into a fusion cannon, considering that’s what he wields.
11:50 that toy brought back so much nostalgia, i would love to have it again someday
When you made that "Life so recklessly" reference it was so bad I laughed.
Megadrive Megatron: "Why throw your money away so recklessly?"
TJOmega: "That's a question I keep asking myself, Megatron"
Technically Savage/Noble's "Beast Mode" isn't a dragon, it's a decapitated dragon. That's why it just has some flaps instead of a face - they're its neck where the head was severed.
There is a Transformer bootleg I see on Ebay every now and then that transforms into a gun in Optimus, Megatron, or Bumblebee colors, with the only other difference being the head.
Link?
let's not forget Prime Megatron when he turns into a Care Bear, I hope someone will get that reference.
I get it.
Forget the gun, do SG Optimus as the Transmetal 2 Red Dragon.
I guess now Megatron has become Sega-tron to go with the whole Sega genesis thing.
You should have mentioned how the Beast Machines Megatron head was compatible with Fort Max, reverse compatibility with a G1 toy like that is pretty rare.
Construct Bots Unicron Megatron is actually a really good construct bot mold.
I agree the tractor that megatron turned into is definitely weird than the brick bear also I like your vids
What, he's not super deformed? 😄
The original toy was based on the gun used in the 60s Man From U.N.C.L.E tv show. I believe that the extra bells and whistles were to treat the gun, a Walther P38, a real world gun, as a sniper weapon. It may not be realistic, but it's a neat piece of 60s Spy-Fi memorabilia.
A note about Megabolt Megatron (the giant scuttling head) is that he can actually replace Fort Max's head. Now THAT is creepy XD
12:14 the gift of prophecy
Specifically, actually, Megatron is based on one of the prop guns that they made for The Man From UNCLE. If you look up "UNCLE Special", you'll see the two guns are almost identical. The original pretext of Micro Change was that they turned into toys, so Megatron is meant to turn into a child's cap gun based on merchandise from his favorite show.
Which is kinda weird, both that Man from UNCLE was popular enough in Japan to justify the collaboration, and that Hasbro was legally allowed to use that version overseas...
He can be intimidating as a copter if you played fortune son
Very enjoyable video keep up with your always excellent content
Alligators are not slow. They are surprisingly fast.
Well at least Megatron hasn't transformed into a toilet. Ba-WOOSH!!
Devil gigatron did turn into his devil ostrich mode in the legends manga.
I loved the stealth fighter version, however the color scheme always made me think of him as another decepticon
I like the unproduced Megatron whose altmode is just... Skywarp.
Like a whole entire Skywarp. Robot mode _and_ Jet mode.
Surprised you didnt mention the Robot Masters version of Tank Megatron, the one where he could have an Optimus head, sort of transforming into Optimus Prime. Literally becoming his arch enemy is quite a bizarre alt mode
Something fun I found out is that, because it has 5mm holes, you can use the War for Cybertron fossilizers’ parts with Robots in Disguise Megatron giving him an axe or an extra head, etc.
Imho, Megatron should turn into a M65 280 mm Atomic Cannon to keep the G1 vibe alive.
Sorry for being pedantic, but the Mega Drive is not the Genesis "in the West", but just in North America (USA and Canada). In the rest of the world it's still the Mega Drive.
The tractor Megatron needs to be in Legacy. Prove me wrong.
Megatron is a tank, not a gun, don't change my mind.
The Japanese Legends comic actually did use the Devil Ostrich in Volume 43.
23:58 there's a tractor (ish) vehicle in the philippine army literally nicknamed megatron. let that sink in. not a toy, an ACTUAL vehicle.
what is it with toy designers giving megatron an animal's head for a hand?
My Transmetal 2 Megatron came pre-broken with a leg falling off, got it from someone else but I didn't know this was such a common break.
Megatron shoe mode: l shall give all these puny humans the gout! None shall walk properly ever again!! .....Then l shall finally conquer this planet!....of foolish limping humans going "Ow ow owowow...oooh, my left foot hurts so bad...with this black and gray nike shoe with those cool silver shoe strings on it!...Oooow the pain, but l look so cool with this shoe...that doesnt match my other less attractive right foot hushpuppy shoe....that doesnt hurt at all....on my right foot." Limp humans, limp! MWAAA HA HA HA HA HA!!
I'm still upset that Classics Megatron was never released in yellow, orange, grey and black.
One of my uncles is a transformer collector and he had a Megatron in is his pocket (I'm not sure which but it was VERY realistic in gun mode, I know it was imported and was very high end) as he went to a gas station and nearly got arrested because the cashier thought he was going to rob them
My machine wars Megatron is the dark gray toy. Didn't know there was a mix-up on the file cards. I can't see the blue clone as the actual Megatron. Just as I cannot see the the short haired clone from a few years ago as the actual TJ Omega.
i always liked to believe that megatron was such a powerful transformer that when he came to earth teletran1 had to find a mode to match something close to what he was on cybertron. Also symbolically I feel that with him being such a strong leader that his alt mode was a reminder that despite how powerful you are you cannot do this alone!
Teletran: mmm yes everyone shall get vehicle modes that i scan from vehicles. Except you. I'm going to scan a P-38. Become space P-38
G2 Megatron has itty-bitty baby feet.
I will never stop hoping for them to re-do the Dawn of Future Past set. That Excavator Dinobot is on my fucking bucket list.
If you transform WFC Megatron just right, he comes out looking similar to a pistol from starwars that omega supreme WFC figure can hold in his claw hand.
"As soon as I figure out who else I can do, we'll do that one."
You sure you don't know? Because I recall Starscream turning into some bizarre things, including things on this list that both Prime and Megatron have turned into. Granted, it's mostly jets for Starscream, but some of those jets are weird.
Come to think of it now, there's two more Decepticons that have turned into weird things, Soundwave and Shockwave.(Though you might have to cheat with Shockwave a bit due to Hasbro losing the name for a while and having to call him and his counterparts Shockblast.) After them, I'm not sure who else to do myself as far as best known Transformers go... You might get a bit of mileage out of Grimlock though... He has been other things beyond a T-Rex.
King of the sniper prime. It is an Optimus prime that turns into a full scale sniper rifle
19:29 Transformers had a crossover with The Mask?! That thing looks like a rbot Pretorius!
legends used the ostrich
the stock and scope was just a common thing on german pistoles back then it was dumb but it was a thing
I think a gator mode would have worked if it looked more like how Gaoranger did their's
I love how you act surprised at beast machine Megatron turning into a head while headmasters exist 😂 but they had a body and not tentacles lol
I love his 2001 rid form cause I have him
Fun Fact for those who don't know, the Megabolt design, if you remove the spider legs, can fit onto the head of Fortress Maximus, which kinda makes it more fitting as RID than Beast Machines, since Fortress Maximus and Galvatron trying to gain control of him was a major part of the latter half of the series.
Megatractor...why not
Googled that Ostrich mode. Not gonna lie, it's pretty legit.
yeah rid megatron put 6shot to shame.
I’ve gotten a green and purple tank megatron but it’s the WFC version
18:56 segatron
guess you could say his beast machines is...a-head of the pack. lol
soundwave's alt modes would be interesting
my dragon Megatron's leg broke off
Oh my god the leg on your transmetal 2 Megatron broke too? And someone else’s did as well?! Oh wow, so I’m not just a clumsy oaf that broke my toy, there might be something wrong with it?
Me when I see RID Megatron/Galvatron’s Hand mode in a Toy Story Alien voice: The CLAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!
If you cant decide if you want to be an airplane or tank. Titans return megatron which is one of my favorite megatron even if he is just a repaint of blitzwing.
