I love how utterly, furiously unstoppable he was in the games and this toy's bringing good memories of that back. Might pass for budget reasons though. He also has a weirdly convincing ray gun fan mode that I saw someone post a week or two ago, it might be a little nicer than the stock floating gun mode.

I love this figure, I grew up with the games so seeing really nice new figures from those games is a lot of fun. I had to cut the nubs on the knees for more movement but even with the nubs it’s not the end of the world, and you’re right about the tank mode, a whole lot of nothing but at least the transformation is fun. Fingers crossed they do a grimlock and bruticus from these games, they really need an update

This guy is pretty common in target.

I hid him and like 5 other figures I couldn’t get the other day at Target, first time I’ve seen blitzing too, but I couldn’t grab him at the time. I pray they’re still there lol, distribution is very iffy here sometimes.

Almost at episode 300! I can't wait for the 2 minute review of a non transformer random figure that no one cares about it. It's the review WE deserve :)

I'm hoping it'll be tiny Dragonzord!

Really enjoying this one! That headsculpt is absolutely perfect, i can hear the "DARK ENERGON" from it. Also the tank mode is fine imo. It replicates the game design closely enough and i like it more than Siege Megatron's hovertank mode

I really enjoy your reviews they're short and sweet

In my household, talking shit about the movie-inspired animated Megatron gets you sent to the smelting chamber.

First review of this guy I’ve seen that doesn’t mention his knees at all. Not a problem or anything, just interesting.

Knees were fine?

Someone got a fancy turntable!

Everyone knows Hat Megatron is his best form! More iconic than the handgun! Great video! I don't think I've been won over to this toy just yet. But if I end up buying him, I'll be sure to let you know that it's all your fault.

The alt mode here really calls back to that movie-centric era between Unicron Trilogy and the Prime Wars trilogy; when they’d just turn Megatron into any old lump, stick a cannon on top and/or some little wings on the sides, and call it a day. And that’s when this design is from originally, right? So I guess that’s accuracy.

Amazed you managed to find him, our forbidden planet seems to refuse to stock studio series lately lmao

Man, if they just changed the hover-thrusters (?) into tank treads, this'd be a top-tier Megatron in both categories.

His treads are for gaining momentum when he bangs in to walls/autobots..his side treads make sense since he's a cybertronian hover tank and not a ground tank. For this particular take on megs it should get bonus tier points for NOT having normal tank treads imo. but your opinion is shared with so many people so meh maybe i'm a weirdy who likes weird things.

I really like this Megatron design, and it’s nice to be able to get one at a retail price for once. When the OG deluxe came out, I could never find one in store, and aftermarket was a bitch

the tank was a lot flatter and detailed in the game, which makes it very good looking, but the toy kinda missed on that

Great review as always, Gavin! Regarding your recent comment on my channel, AliExpress orders like knockoff LEGO sets take about a month to deliver to the UK, so plan in advance with orders from them.

I think the swap weapon is fine, as long as it works for both arms!

Thanks as always, Gavin You're the man!!!

I really enjoy this guy, glad I picked up the WFC set so far!

2:14 these are real things! 😂😂😂

Not a Megatron fan but I absolutely love that mace and how it fits across his back. It’s the little things that elevate a toy from meh to great.

Looks cool

I always liked this design more over the Fall of Cybertron look

A good looking enough robot mode, and a vehicle mode I suppose you just need to see at a different angle to get something out of it.

That mace looks like it belongs with Legacy Menasor.

Gavin is a Gamer: Confirmed.

I hope they do studio series gamer edition angry birds transformers just so we can get a proper angry birds transformers figure.

As one who owns the original WfC versions, I must say I vastly prefer those (I have Bee, Jumper, Prime and Megs), they just have a better feel to them and a better (IMO) overall transformation. Still, I'll give Hasbro points for their newest take on him. Like, maybe a 2.5. Nothing fancy, no need to go tellin' yer mum about it.

I assume the mace splits in half so the top can be used as a hand

Hello Lex

I think this figure is good (not great), but I don't like the way it holds the mace like a circus balloon

Hmmm... the tank mode of the original edition of this toy was still weird but better than this one. I think they got all excited with a new transformation that results in a worse alt-mode.

I was the 69th person to like this video.... nice

I know the fusion canon is accurate but a bit bland. The originals while in accurate looks much more detailed and significant/menacing, then the hover thing is something not good but something.

Gamer edition feels like a massive letdown on all fronts. Shame really since it was a subtheme I was looking forward to.

Oh hey, I got this guy yesterday! ...I was honestly kinda disappointed, yeah.

Megatron is and should be a pimped out Walther P38.
