Yeah, they're like 90% the same, it's just that Megastorm has olive camo instead of purple and this weird black pattern on his face that makes him look like he's got Guyliner on. Beast Wars II was in part a way for Takara to reuse as many molds as possible, many of which had previously been Western-exclusive, and G2 Megs was one of those.

Me too! I stumbled across it on half price at a Canadian Tire. First time I saw Megatron as a tank and I fell in love with the little bugger. Well, after I covered all the green with silver paint. It still has a proud place on my shelf 15 years later. 😊

I... love CW Megatron because I can pick him up, play with him and transform him. After the insane complexity of some of the, it's _refreshing_ for it to be simple.

Old Look Around You joke is a good Look Around You joke

The lime green and purple beef cake that is G2 Megs was the first transformer I ever owned. Well, the first one that was actually mine. My sister of all people, had a huge G1 collection because she was the older one. She had every one of the releases from the first two years. I still have them in various stages of broken or missing parts and figures, but they are our originals.

Bro. I gotta be honest. You are my favourite channel. I've had a rough year being out of work and such. But, your videos and the enjoyment they bring me have made it more bearable. Thank you for what you do.

I'm so glad you did this video Thew. I inherited all the G1 stuff as hand-me-downs from my sister. The G2 neon green/purple puncher was truly my first Transformer growing up.

I’d love to see a review on the War for Cybertron: Siege Megatron.

4:52 F for scout trooper

A Look Around You reference! This is why I love you, Thew.

One thing I remember about that version of Megatron is that his tank mode came from a G.I. Joe vs Transformers crossover. That big purple cannon was supposed to be a railgun that was to replace is old cannon with.

Let me tell you, man, that recent IDW-styled Legends-class Megs is probably my favorite Megatron mold ever, especially if you feel like shelling out the extra dough for the silver-painted Takara version. It's small, but has a much more "Megatron" vibe coming off it, and because it's so small, you forgive the simple transformation, plus it also manages a rotating turret without making the elbows look jank. And Targetmaster Chop Shop is a tiny delight. Unfortunately, buying it now will cost more than the Leader Class version.

Great review Thew, I know you had trouble doing this review before AA but it seems you've sorted it mate. I did a review on him ages ago, but it's nowhere as good as this one. Well done Sir

One of your best videos yet, man. Sidenote, it was a bit weird seeing you with hair again from the PIP shots from older vids lol.

Fantastic review as always Thew, keep them coming, :)

I love it when Thew blasts through a bunch of cool toys loosly connected by a theme or charactor... or came in a set. basically I just like to listen to Thew say things.

I keep forgetting that the Kaiju battle is my favourite bit from the Thew Review Shew-show.

mega ton of crack?im a ton of fat?bayformers are cra!Ooooh now I hear yeah megatronSeriously though this is a weird figure and g2 itself was one giant rap fueled fever dream of neon colors and 14! MISSLES still great review and I actually owned a knockoff g2 megs at one point that was high quality plastic plane tank paint and a generic robo head it was actually pretty cool besides the lack of "mega bob is daft" .keep up the good work.

I picked up the Armada version of Combiner Wars Megatron a while back and I absolutely love him. The weird spindly shoulder joints do bother me, but the rest of the figure is so solid that I can overlook them.

Oy, I just love hearin' this bloke go on and on over our one and only Destron, (or Decepticon), leader and his endless tank-alternate-modes.

Hey I spied you finally completed Powermaster Optimus! can we expect a review of him anytime soon?

So many tanks...it's enough to break the space time continum! excellent work Thew.

I had a G2 Megatron as a kid; that cannon had enough power to stick toothpicks to the wall from meters away.

Excellent renditions of those Godzilla tracks

The line about subtlety as a leopard print bazooka that fires Jeremy Clarkson was golden poetry.

HOLY CRAP , I did not expect that turret swivel. those to me actually look good though thew

Hero Megatron was my first Megatron, it was nice to hear someone be so kind to him. I'm think he's an underrated toy.

Oh wow, when I was a kid I had a birthday cake that came with a transforming tank that was identical to this except in size and color.

Hey Thew, I'd love to see you do another of these multi-toy review for some of the combiner wars bots

This was your chance to name a video "Megatronathon." Ya blew it!

After all these years, come to think of it, Movie 1 Leader Brawl mold would've made a killer G2/Armada-esque Megatron. Beefy tanks are the best.

The cannon tip can be used as a claw hand of sorts on the right arm. There's a small peg that fits the cannon tip where the hand should be.

The hearing you sing two Godzilla themes, Thew! Keep those references coming :D

9:55 "Kaiju Bothering Maser Barrel" XD

To be fair you can sort of get a hand on the classics by folding the turret into a thumbmand rotating the claw shield thing. That whole thing is hinged so you can do a lot with it.Also that mold is the only one to have the turret turn into arms but still aloow the whole thing to rotate and also have up/down on the turret.

I owned (still in the loft somewhere) the beauty that was Generation 2 Megatron (first one)! Great toy for any kid! Jesus made 29 years ago now... I feel old.....

Awesome video, happy your back making videos.

Your toy reviews are awesome. You're hilarious. Love your channel.

I would love to see you review Armada Megs, both versions really. After all, you need someone to rule all those Minicons and Micromasters stinking up the place. (I actually love MC's, by the way.)

I just want a classics/generations/universe/whatever sized Megatron to go with the rest of my collection. great review thew

I LOVE the Generations Selects Earthrise G2 Megatron, as he has so much 1990s callback going on it is awesome.

"Make a ton of cack?" I'm fucking dying over here!!!

THAWESOME!

Incredible, just incredible.

Honestly I *like* the "Combiner Wars" Megatron better than the other versions, I think having his robot mode look like the classic G1 Megatron and having *actual working tank treads* are both great features. Could use a little more fine-tuning but honestly a far better concept than just being a gun, and better execution than older models.

Finally got my hands on this guy in good condition for a really good price. :D fantastic video!

6:17 i have that mold but in grey, black and white and with a different held sculpt

Grandus should have been called Kibbletron!

There were, in the Bayverse films, IDW comics and the Fall/War video games.

My classics Megatron is sadly missing his little bit off the end of his gun, and the matching Optimus only has one smokestack, but he's still awesome on my shelf. lol And for as cheap as I got them second hand, I think I can live with it. lol

Love Megatron tanks! What's the "Euphoric Club banger" song at 5:38? I love it! Great stuff as always! 😆

Oh God I remember that watch thing that came with G2 Megs. I wonder whatever happened to it.

Good review thew now you should do a review dedicated to the best Optimus prime toys you have

Thew rules. Love how it all leads up to one great punchline. 'Thanks' dude

You forgot about War for Cybertron Megs. It's a space hover tank tank but it's still a tank. A bad one. Robot mode is amazeballs though.

I think we really need some TF media be it movie/cartoon/comic or other that uses Megs as a tank for an alt mode and makes it iconic, interesting and powerful. It just feels as though we get push tank toys but are yet to see some really good tank media to sell us on the concept, it seems like a great opportunity but megatron so rarely in comics/cartoons ever has a need for an alt mode/uses it.

Ha! I love the United G2 Megs. Always said if I was gonna get a version of that toy, that would be it.

Tanks for making this vid!

Reason why we have so many tank modes fir megatron. Which I like because..... think about it why a evil villain turn to a German pistol. While he can turn to a badass tank

Time to revisit this subject I thinks, I do. Since we have so many new versions of the newest mold. LOL XD

how nice of Megatron to bring his nephew into a war.

Then, some years later with Siege and Earthrise and Legacy, more tank Megs came along.

I had the purple megatron, except the sticker on his chest said MEGATRON RULES!!!! which kinda gave away who he was...

The new Titans return Megatron will be a tank and a jet so I'm happy. Especially now that I have Galvatron, I will finally have a Megatron that is in scale with Galvatron.

Dang i didn't knew i grew up with a generation 2 Megatron

Monthly megatron

if you didn't know this already combiner wars megatron has an unofficial somewhat forced gun mode, start in robot mode flip the feet up bend the legs back as far as they can or enough to make a handle transform the arms into a turret set the crotch plate against the back of the turret move the kibble chunk up against the back of megatons head set the chest plate parallel to the gun barrel if needed untab the knees so the legs can be set flush against one another you should have something that resembles a gun

The g2 megatron watch was an exclusive to the UK/Australia I believe, I have one sealed on its card for an odd fucking reason. In maybe 1995? when it came out there was no new toys in the pipeline really, beast wars was yet to drop and collectors through all their cash at any weird shit that could find. A sealed megatron watch would fetch 70-120US on the internet market, I bought a few on sale at the local supermarket and kept them knowing they were an incredible sound investment, sure to make me a pile of benjamins as their rarity ever increases. Yeah, a few years went by and prices dropped, no one has given a shit since but I still have in a little special box waiting for him to bear fruit.

Tanks for the Mega memories.

You always catch me off guard with shit like "Might-piping" and MC Grimlocks "Fight-piping".

It does seem werid that it took so long for tank megatron to be the standard. As it makes the most sense.
