FAQ:
1- Where do you get your figures?
Everywhere. Literally everywhere. Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, Antique Malls, Thrift Stores, Flea Markets, eBay, Amazon, Facebook, Online Forums, Friends, etc. This video details the answer. • FAQ- Where Do I Find/B...
2- Can you review __? Can you make a ___ video?
I do appreciate requests, suggestions, and video ideas, however, I get so many that it's impossible for me to keep track of them. It's okay to ask, but I may not be able to get around to it.
3- Can I have ___?
I do not and will not sell or give parts of my collection to those who simply ask for something in the comments of one of my videos.
4- Can you check out my channel?
Sure. I tend to check out people's channels if they're active on the channel, or seem like they may be interesting. However, I'm very picky on what I subscribe to, and I just don't watch every kind of video just because someone asked me to. Same goes for shout-outs, I cannot fairly shout-out somebody for no reason other than they asked, it would be unfair to anyone else who were to ask and I would be unable to do so. A shoutout from me will not gain you much viewership or subscribers.

Dude, that Megatron impression in the beginning was AWESOME!

We all do them, but yeah, that was one of the better ones.

[@Patent_Figment69]

Yes

[@MegaphoneFranke]

Yeeeeeeeeessssssss!

[@chummybuttons4533]

I actually just got this guy yesterday, he's fantastic. I know Leader class is more of a price point than a size nowadays, but it's so nice to get a really tall Leader figure again. Oh btw, you've got a letter coming your way

[@klipsfilmsmelbourne]

robot chicken beast wars megatron: YEESSSSSSS I MAY HAVE PTSD BUT THAT IS A (BLEEP)ING MAXIMAL

Love this new Megatron, easily one of the best Leader Class figures from WFC Trilogy so far.

[@OG.Trippster]

Wait until Galvatron comes out!!

[@astrotrain6037]

@Divy Jaiswal when your competition is a small masterpiece shockwave with combiner pieces, the first Ultra Magnus with an armor gimmick since the eighties, the most accurate Astrotrain ever that makes most third party tremble in terror and an Optimus better than the MP 44 you really need to stand out

[@DigitalHazard567]

I bought both the Kingdom and Vintage Megatrons recently, and frankly I am really loving both. I think both have their separate merits, Vintage is full of 90s nostalgia while Kingdom is a great update.

[@bingbongtoysKY]

I finally bought the kingdom last week, and just transformed him, what a blast!

[@mikeschmit4116]

The kingdom Meg is easily my favorite designed figure of all kingdom but damn it freaks me out with how fragile and soft it feels.

[@cube.random]

Wdym mean by that? Is it still a nice feeling figure though?

[@cyclonusprimus5875]

Personally, I like to use the blast affect that came with SS Scourge. Speaking up Scourge, you should do a OldvsNew for him

[@jacobolson7593]

14:38 The hip area that clips into the torso also clips on at the back, you just need to push it hard, that's why it's so gappy.

[@Jcc2224]

Seriously thanks! It's certainly improved it staying together. Took a ton of force but it did go in. lol

[@jacobolson7593]

@@Jcc2224 anytime bro, it took a ton of force on mine too but after doing it many times it loosened up

[@TFfangeek]

Great comparison video Jcc224!!!!! For me it's really hard to tell which is the superior BW Megatron, the 1996 or 2021 version. I only own the Kingdom version, so I have no opinion on the 1996 figure.

[@chadtheartist3424]

I have picked up both the reissue and just this weekend picked up the Kingdom version. I love them both a lot. You can play with both and now worry about them breaking as well. I've been wanting one for years. really since the Universe 2.0 Dinobot and Cheetor released. But I got away from the hobby for most of the 2010's, and got back into it in the last year and a half. And just now am picking up all the Kingdom Beast Wars figures. They are all real good.

[@adamwilson1691]

$30 for an original beast wars Megatron in good condition is a great deal. I love that figure along with Optimus primal. 90s toys just scream fun

[@AGuyNamedGray]

Kingdom Megs is great but the old one carries a certain early nostalgic feel to it (if they released the kingdom one in the old one's colors that could be cool)

[@trompimusprime4510]

Me, a master customiser: *hold my paint*

[@trompimusprime4510]

I wouldn't mind seeing Kingdom Megatron with Jungle Planet Megatron's colors.

My friend recently got the reissue of BW Megatron. I want to tell you, as soon as he showed me, we were bewildered at it, and I soon said the following. "THAT IS SOME MESSY CRAP!"

[@Tricker-the-licker]

I had the original one when I was a kid, it was and still is the best transformer toy I ever had.

[@mrkicker11181]

Megatron starting to show up at ross and dd discount stores , price after tax is 27.34

[@trompimusprime4510]

I think the old one is more accurate. Not only is it more cartoony, but the repaint proves this. Just add a coat of paint, and it’s so cool. Mine is a pre-ordered reissue and is coming in August, so when that happens I’m painting it

[@jamesdubeck4920]

Yesssss, my og Megatron doesn't have the missles either . But it doesn't matter bcuz he's bad ass. Getting the newbie this week

[@MandoDin]

BW Megatron is my introduction to Megatron, so I'll definitely be picking up both of them

[@the_collector_of_different_toy]

I completely agree with you on the whole dumb idea if someone who wanted to make a streaming service for toy reviews at that point I’m just say screw and look for someone else reviewing the figure or just buy the damn thing cut out the middleman

Kingdom Megatron is the great figure, recently i bought it from BBTS really good site i love it, but i don't like its stiffnes and tightness which is really stressing me out because it's making unclear the understanding amount of strength i have to inplement for transformation. That resulted in breaking one of those clips on the back of his, really made me sad, still it's function is great but can't hide the fact its broken.

I live in the uk and my local toy store is reopening soon so i have a question, between kingdom megs and cyclonus which is a more fun figure for the price since i intend on buying one of them?

[@captainkarzi499]

is it worth to buy original optimus primal toy (for 12 bucks) if its missing its gorrila head/chestplate? edit: he also is missing most of his accesories like swords

[@realjoemavro]

Better beast mode...Beast Wars Megatron Better robot mode...Kingdom Megatron Better features...Beast Wars Megatron Better for displaying...Kingdom Megatron You can't go wrong with either.

[@benjaminwiseman6567]

That's the best summary I've read. Neither is clearly better. I just bought a Kingdom version to see for myself how it handles, but since I store my figures in beast mode, and I already hate all the gaps, I think I'll end up siding with the original.

[@juanleonor9349]

How hilarious would it be if a third party group made an upgrade kit where you can add the squirt gun gimmick to the kingdom megatron mouth? I just got my megatron yesterday in the mail and I’m enjoying this figure. Not gonna lie I was not expecting this figure to be so heavy with the scale that he’s in. Can’t wait till they start coming out with some upgrade kits for his additional accessories like his hunting rifle that he had in the show and of course for laughs the tooth brush that he used to clean the T. rex mouth lol Aside from that awesome video man Really liked how you did a comparison of the original figure next to the kingdom one. Grew up watching beast wars and I loved that show Dinobot was my all time favorite character in that show.

[@4390BigBoss]

Is this thing really that prone to breaking? That would be a deal breaker for me no matter how good it is

[@Jcc2224]

I mean mine's totally fine, I haven't heard too many bad things. I'd say get it!

[@saucygoat8287]

I really like the kingdom figure but I can’t get over how disappointing he was in that show lol

[@Jcc2224]

The Netflix Transformers shows are trash, ignore them and like this Megatron for being a BEAST WARS Megatron! lol

[@saucygoat8287]

@@Jcc2224 lol Im planning on getting one it’s just so hard to disconnect it, like I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy an episode 9 Palpatine, because that’s my least favourite version of him lol. I realize the design is essentially the exact same as the Megatron from Beast Wars, and that is why I like it, but all I hear in the back of my head is his old man voice simping over G1 Megatron lol

[@TMNTransformerz]

He was awesome in the show. What do you mean? Edit: never mind, you meant the Netflix show.

[@cartkart1]

KINGDOM MEGS ARRIVES IN THE MAIL TOMORROW IM EXCITED Edit: so I ordered him from a third party seller on Amazon, but when the day came where they said he’d arrive, he didn’t, so basically I got scammed. So I got it refunded and ordered one from Amazon itself, even though it cost a bit more. At least I’m getting one. He should show up later today. Edit 2: nope he’s coming tomorrow Edit 3: ITS 10PM HES STILL NOT HERE YOU PROMISED ME HE’D BE HERE BY NOW AMAZON Edit 4: he showed up the next day AT LIKE 2PM- happy place, happy place… He’s great! I love both modes, but transforming him is kinda a pain. My copy doesn’t have the splitting crotch issue- in fact, it has the opposite! I needed help to split it apart! I’m probably just gonna leave him in T Rex mode forever because I love the dinosaur mode but I can’t transform him without help.

[@xibecou2b]

Kingdom Version Is Superior!

[@Arstotzkan_Government]

*Y E S*

[@lekanraposte6732]

What I love about the old vintage is that he's the same size in both modes as the new Kingdom leader. So if for some reason you can't find the new leader, the vintage will not look too out of place in a modern Beast display.

[@nicklegostava]

The new Leader Class Megatron DEASPRATLY NEEDED Ratchet Joints in at least the legs, but other then that love the Bot mode

[@TekuJames]

Agreed

I got the reissue vintage one and I like how they made the dinosaur mode more purple and the head/helmet black rather than silver. The kingdoms one still looks amazing and I might want one in the future.

[@BioGoji-zm5ph]

The color scheme of the Kingdom version seems so... familiar... like... like... Barney the Dinosaur!?

[@NearingLight]

Hip harpoons those 2 words tell you which I think is better

[@EmeralBookwise]

Just got my own Kingdom Megatron today. While I am very much enjoying all the extra detail, I also can't help feeling that its overdesigned. There are just so many panels to flip and fold that it's not really all that fun to transform, and I also worry how well all that soft plastic will hold up over time. Sorta find myself wishing I could have more of a hybrid figure. Something with the detailing of Kingdom, but with a simpler design like the BW original.

[@EmeralBookwise]

Scratch that concern over long term durability, I'm now questioning even the short term durability. Less than 24 hours after having gotten my Kingdom Megatron and transforming him to beast mode for only the second time, I discovered one of the soft panels on the tail has become horribly mangled. Apparently I must have gotten it caught at the wrong angle when I previously transformed him back to robot mode. I'm still not really regretting my purushas, as durability or not, he still makes a great static display piece... just kinda disappointed that viability as an actual TRANSFORMER seems like it will be far too short lived.

[@Jcc2224]

Ah I had that happen to mine too, it's an easy fix, just hit it with a hair dryer on hot and the soft plastic should pretty much return to its original form. It might not if the damage is too hard-set, but hopefully that helps! It's an awesome figure!

[@Saiyan1229]

Dont worry about how the plastic will hold hp over time. Its not rubber. What a lot of the reviewers arent understanding is that it isnt rubber. Its like the plastic used on marvel legends figures.

[@myang12003]

I have the new one

[@SSRuiz]

oh yeesss

[@jacksoncuff8130]

if you tab the belly panels into the shoulder before tabbing them together they go together better, at least on my kingdom Megs. also when you are putting the waist into the body for T-rex there is a clip at the top of it that tabs into the side of the torso. it is a really tough clip to get in but it does go in. I do not know if you know this but I do not think you did that in this video.

[@Jcc2224]

I tried that once and they didn't really go in still.

[@user-Monke556]

That impression was good also I got the 2020 reissue since I didn’t want to pay more for the same thing with just a different head and it’s a good figure

[@LycanTroop3]

Jesus dude how old are you?? I'm 28 and when you said this 1996 figure was older than you are I was kinda shocked LOL

Can I ask how you removed the mutant mask? Did you unscrew anything or just pop them off? 🙂 Great video!

[@Jcc2224]

You can just pop 'em off. Be careful if you want to tho! Edit- It is a 25 year old figure at this point so the plastic may not be super strong to handle it if you do it wrong!

[@AidanFarren-Hart]

Thank you! 🙂 I ended up taking the head off, disassembling it and gently popping the mask pieces out.

[@Redknight-g1z]

[@snitchbug]

be careful about leaving the blast effects in, i’ve heard horror stories about the material they’re made of melting the harder plastics of the figures if left too long??? which really sucks
