@@russellharrell2747 Two Happy meal versions back in 2005, not released in the US. 1 with shoulder Cannons in Europe, that came with a drone for the gimmick. A second version in Australia and New Zealand without the cannons and a jet drone. Megatrons gimmick was a light up energon cube in his chest that could be taken out and swapped with the other figures, the drone (jet or tank) could make the cube light up like a remote. Optimus Prime had the same gimmick, came with a jet drone. Unicron and Ironhide had electronic sounds.

To be fair the two pack this one was came very late in the line and it was a TRU exclusive in Hasbro's line. The main leader was weirdly an exclusive that THEN became widely available (RID 2015 Starscream did the same thing over a decade later). In Japan this WAS the Megatron of their line (or more accurately Galvatron because they didn't need to worry about maintaining trademarks) and likewise had a spiffy purple Galvatron redeco (similar to the Hasbro Leader but the colors are show accurate.) What's kind of funny is that there's a sticker on the box for the two pack of this smaller Megatron and the smaller Optimus that straight up says it's the first time they're in that scale in North America.

You know, looking back and noticing the similarities with G1 Galvatron, how cool would it have been if the writers thought ahead and had Armada Megs be Megatron and Energon Megs be Galvatron? Then Cybertron Megs could be... I dunno, still Galvatron but even more hardcore (since he's evidently wearing scraps of Unicron). I feel like there was a lot of good ideas that someone wrote, but Hasbro didn't think they would market enough toys.

From what I understand, the reason for the Galvatron-esque (Galvanesque?) look was bc in the Japanese, this was Galvatron. Unlike in the English dubs where Megatron would turn into Galvatron then back into Megatron and then back into Galvatron again. He stayed Megatron throughout Armada even after he got the palette swap, then turned into Galvatron for Energon, and then Cybertron winds up being it's own can of worms

Honestly we have Hasbro to blame for all of the weirdness that is Cybertron's story.

But Hasbro wanted to make them all work together which only works if you don't look too closely.

​@@JoleneBlake Takara actually gave the go-ahead to Gonzo to make Cybertron its own thing, which ticked off Hasbro who had to wrangle the show back into some semblance of sense making for the three part storyline. Then the comic adaptation included some kind of explanation, saying that the Unicron Singularity was causing distortions across all of space and time, leading to the past and future being warped. Meaning that it was a literal plot hole. A later comic even incorporated that in a way to say it affected the whole multiverse, to explain any Transformers plot hole ever.

I always loved Energon Megatron and how he looked like Megatron did literally tear himself out of Unicron's guts and refined the body with what he could. The shoulder guns are the bare skeleton of his pauldrons, the wings are essentially him taking a chunk of the gutwall with him after it fused to his turret, and the detailing under his arms looks like the clavicle gears he had, implying he couldn't fully re-armor himself. I also adore the fuselage and cockpit looking like he's so full of piss and vinegar he found a way to make his vehicle mode scowl.

Hey Thew, hate to be "That Guy" but you kind of forgot a gimmick on the old boy. You can actually store the blade part of his weapon in a slot in the nose cone part. That way you have a place to put it when in vehicle mode so it doesn't stick out and have an extra function where you can stick the part where it connects to the tank, press a button on said nose cone when it is the figure's backpack and then draw it like the worlds goofiest Excalibur. The leader class version had "Light And Sound Action!" speaking from personal experience, not sure if the Mega Megs has it thought. Great review nevertheless, just felt the need to point that out.

You can store the sword in the jet nosecone. You kinda just, shove it into that slot and it locks there. It's meant as a "sword drawing" gimmick, though at his age, it might be risky. I have to wonder if the idea was for this guy to be toy-colors Galvatron, or if it was just that the decision to make him Megatron rather than Galvatron happened late. The Japanese version just called him Galvatron for the whole run of the show.

A few quick facts about this bad boy: Aaron Archer wanted Armada Megatron to just be Megatron, and Energon Megatron to just be Galvatron. Hasbro vetoed for the sake of brand recognition and trademark retention. (Cybertron Megatron would be Galvatron Imperious, which is unbelievably badass and a shame it didn't get used.) His standard colors are mostly based on the G1 Galvatron toy's colors, while his Galvatron upgrade is based on the G1 cartoon's colors. I don't know about this version, but the Leader version lets you store the sword blade in the neck of the cockpit. It even has a gimmick where plugging the tank on and then pressing the release button will allow you to draw it like a proper sword, and then plugging it in again and pulling it without pressing the button will detach it from the tank. The Leader toy also has a lame clear blade instead of an awesome green one.

What’s funny is that I watched Energon as a kid and I don’t remember Megatron transforming at all. The only thing I can remember him doing for most of the series was sitting on a throne in Unicron’s head or flying around in robot mode. As this was a series where transformers didn’t need a flight transformation in order to fly, so everyone was flying all over the place. Oh yeah he also spent a few early episodes in a wall.

Show was a fun dumb time, though getting past the 3D cell shading of that era was the biggest hurdle for me. Owning the original, I actually had no idea that the down sized one was literally bigger than most Leaders are now, and still maintained the same electronics, and engineering of the original. I always figured this would be pocket sized deluxe. For me this is still my favorite of the Unicron trilogy designs as it calls back the original Galvatron design, and the only real gimmick outside of transforming is the arm/tank weapon. Not sure if it was possible on this one but for the original while you could store the tank on the back of the space plane you could also pop the blade and store it in the backpack for a less stupid look. Really do miss actual rolling landing gear on these larger releases.

The legacy core class is neat it’s mini megatron missing a bit of paint but it’s a core what they did is good as is. A smaller project I have is the tank cannon sword thing I’m working on designing/3Dprinting it to be an actual transformer and if legacy does a full sized one it could work for that too

Still love this one (and now I'm afraid to touch the shoulder cannons). I'm a bit opposite when it comes to the ridiculousness though! I friggin' LOVE the big tank on his arm for no discernable reason. Maybe BECAUSE I can't seem to find a reason for it. It's just a little him on his own arm! The spaceship mode is still one of my all-time favorite Transformer spaceships. Just utterly fantastic, colors and all.

I always liked Energon Megatron; homage to G1 Galvatron in design look, mini tank double as call back to G1 Megatron's Fusion Cannon while been precursor to Prime Megatron of how Megatron has sword on his cannon arm and jet mode is the best of Megatron's aerial modes.

That’s what that tank is? I had that thing forever and never knew where it came from. Guess it was from when I got this as a kid

TJOmega just did a video reviewing the whole Energon toyline in a single sentence each. Made me go fetch my energon lads, Cliffjumper, Shockblast, Wing Saber and Optimus. Mainly for Cliff cos i remembered he was bloody enormous! An Ultra priced as a Voyager iirc.

That's the smaller version? I knew there was two scales for that Megatron but kinda assumed the smaller one was more modern Voyager sized. That's a proper chunky lad. Love all the clear green bits, even if they are breaking apart.

I got the 2 pack this guy was in while I was away one summer, despite already having the bigger one and the happy meal one so I think I'm alright for leaving the core one ta. Got to shout out that the tank is his own corpse and the sequence in the comic where Unicron digests him is absolutely the hardest they've ever gone

Good memories of getting the Leader Class version as a kid and the story being my mom forgot she bought him for me and hid him so I wouldn’t find the present so she had it for a sec

I have the larger leader class figure, the colour is a lot better. I know it’s the bigger one because he almost eclipses the other leaders and the tank I have doesn’t fit his forearm. Though I bought him complete, it showed up missing one of his shoulder cannons and it made me so sad, I love this Megs.

The sword stores inside the neck of the jet mode. Unless it's glued in place, you forgot to even mention it, or that it's glued in place if that's how it is.
