Remember when Megatron yawned? It was so spectacular that they had to animate it in 2D to get the emotion across.

[@RKStrikerJK5]

I love this guy. And that's one of my favorite Megatron alt modes. I see it as some sort of capital-ship design. Something Transformers could build as some big starship.

[@Arro3]

One of my favourite Megatron toys. (although I know this is a different version). I remember seeing the commercial about it being a Wal-Mart exclusive and they had the CGI model of the character pop up behind the kids holding the toy.

[@babysinclairfan]

I REMEMBER THAT COMMERCIAL!!!!

[@rickV-zy6eh]

wasnt it a Toys R Us exclusive?

[@nathanielcolwell6255]

I think this is what movie 1 Megatron's alt mode was based on.

[@dabig9826]

i love how the toyline was pretty good, but the show was a trainwreck.

[@copperhead577]

It's ok

[@DredgeX97]

Think about WFC: Siege.

[@Spike-Prime]

@@DredgeX97 Siege was too boring to be a trainwreck.

[@Nil_25k]

@@Spike-Prime it just disassembled in a very sensible manner

[@Spike-Prime]

@@Nil_25k pardon?

[@MisterSouji]

I think a better "hyper mode" would have been if you could swing the whole backpack over his shoulder therefore having ALL his guns forward in robot mode.

[@Cho_Random]

Energon Megatron is my first and only Megatron toy I have that's still in my collection since I was 9. It's one of my favorite toys from my childhood and I say the figure has aged pretty well. I recently found the tank in a random box in the basement that I never really cared for.

[@dol_mel7487]

Huh, I didn't realize he started straight up as galvatron in super link. I figured he started over as Megatron, but I supposed that's why out the gate he was similar to g1 galvatron.

[@TJOmega]

+Jetfire48 It was the marketing scheme back then, the new toy comes out and people buy it cause it's new. Then it gets repainted into some awesome G1 colors and people buy it again for the repaint. They did the same with Megatron/Galvatron in Cybertron, first toy had crazy colors, second was G1 Megatron's.

[@SunnyOddny]

+TJOmega this is what i like about not many youtubers respond to comments Normaly its hard to find videos where the youtuber respond But with you its hard to find a video where you dont respond I apriecheet it . Sorry bad english I saw a botcon dragon megatron beast wars Are you going to review that I would love that Love andreas 😀😄

[@frederickgrandison3609]

He has repainted to Galvatron, and redecoed to the Shattered Glass Megatron as a heroic decepticon, he has came baggaged with thundercracker.

[@mwolfe1486]

I'm not sure if you got spammed this a lot, but I have this toy and there was a bit of articulation you neglected to show. He actually DOES have a bicep swivel. I know because I have rotated them to give the classic "Arm Cannon Aim" look that pretty much 65.555% of all transformers fans have done with a Galvatron/Megatron. Also, his shoulders can rotate 360° if you get the wings out of the way of his shoulder cannons, and they can go 90° without having to worry about clearance. If you already knew, that's great. If you didn't, I'm glad I informed you :)

[@chozoone19]

+CyborgeBolt I was actually going to mention about the bicep swivel too when I heard him getting to that part cause I too have the toy [or the actually Takara Tomy Superlink equivalent of it] and had messed with him all over to know what all it could do. Beat me to the comment button.

[@TransDrummer1312]

My favorite Megatron figure remains the Cybertron/Galaxy Force Leader Class Megatron. It was my first, and I've had all of the leaders since that one, and none of them were as badass, intricate, or evil looking as that one.

[@NoahRichard]

I swear TJ taps into my head sometimes. I just recently got into the UT.

[@Straswa]

TJ fired another missile on screen! I sense a new trend. :) Great vid TJ! Thanks for reviewing more from Energon.

[@Nickster891]

apparently this was called megatron here cause they thought the name was more recognizable and therefore more marketable and for those wondering what his two pack partner was DELUXE OPTIMUS PRIME that's right an optimus with a shirt mode and a pants mode

[@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy]

I've always loved this toy and the show design

[@RobinSwede]

"I... Am... Back..." David Kaye really tried to help that god awful dub.

[@brandonbowman3370]

I like the Animated Series Megatron with that nice purple

[@2chaskell]

I’m So happy I managed to get this fig a couple years ago for a decent price, he scales with the other energon figures soooo much better

[@MiXVoy]

His jet mode is a literal SkyQuake

[@jasonparis5635]

I loved the galvatron recolor version of energon Megatron.

[@ArcNeoMasato]

I actually have the stupid big class version of this guy and I won't lie, I'm actually tempted to get this version, cause the smaller size just makes the figure feel.... somehow better in my eyes. I guess the level of detail/engineering just fits this size better.

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

This is amazing, I really like this figure and you present it very well.

[@gravehart2002]

I was incredibly lucky to find the japanese voyager version at a convention for about $50 Aus. Very happy with it to this day 😎

[@Delfromteamrad]

those green guns near the cockpit are molded like G1 Galvatron's cannon.

[@glorious720p_2]

I've wanted this review for quite sometime.

[@MEGATRONG144]

Awesome review tj

[@MattSinz]

IMO this is best Megatron(Galvatron) design of any series, it's basically a perfect evolution and upgrade of G1 Galvatron

[@krimsonklaww611]

in my opinion, the color doesn't look like Megatron. it looks like Buzz Lightyear.

[@Darth321111]

Every time you say 'Gamer out' a kitten dies

[@Darth321111]

[@andrewshaffer1833]

ALL HAIL MEGATRON!

[@jasonparis5635]

I can't wait for the core class energon Megatron

[@gerisarodriguez3231]

Since you've reviewed the original toy, could you do the version of it you didn't mention? You know, the one that looks a bit like staring through a broken mirror with a bit of shattered glass.

[@mechanwhal6590]

I see what you did there.

[@kabob0077]

Damn, Megatron should stop taking advice from the Orks about Dakka.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

Interesting fact: the Unicron Trilogy toys came first, not the comic books and not the TV shows.

[@OptimusPhillip]

Does Transrepro.com still sell the sword for this guy? I looked on their website, it looks like it hasn't been updated lately. Are they still in business or no?

[@strikerevimus]

The LED worked better on the US Leader Class version because the sword was entirely clear, not green. Not a whole lot better, but it lit up more than the one reviewed here.

[@peradolia]

As stated in 11:50, that megatron is mine. You owe me an energon megatron ; )

[@jacob810]

I tried to fanmode that combiner wars legends Shockwave into Energon Shockblast's "Laser Tank" mode. It turned out badly.

[@SleepingGroke]

Got the Galvatron General version of it. Expensive, but worth it.

[@thatpoodlecoopervideos5601]

More expression then the show.

[@wolfhensonful]

my first transformer

[@rorylumley4727]

is the galvatron color of this mold

[@GurrenLagann98]

You should do cybertron megatron, that'd be wicked.

[@squirrelsolitaire1001]

Yeah

[@syntheticpacifist]

Hey, speaking of Unicron Trilogy Megatron... Do you have Cybertron Megatron at all, TJ? (Or Cybertron Galvatron, for that matter.)

[@bluekirby1741]

whats the differemce between leader and ultra on this figure I had the leader one as a child and they mostly identical

[@otaking3582]

I had one of these. It came in a two-pack with the Energon Optimus Prime. I think both of those are in storage somewhere...

[@takanuinuva]

Did Megatron ever use his vehicle mode in Energon?

[@dol_mel7487]

yes he did

[@toageki843]

It has a lot of g1 glavatron eleaments. The.mean guns are the same shape as galvatron's fusion canon

[@panbat2367]

These guns! The Hulkst...... I mean megatrons guns!

[@neon_lavander]

its practically galvatron, even the cannons on the shoulders look like g1 cartoon galvatron's arm cannon

[@StevenDolce]

AKA Super Link Galvatron.

[@nickbehun5305]

Mine came with a clear sword blade was it just a random which you got?

[@TJOmega]

+Nick Behun It was the larger Leader-class toy that came with a clear blade.

[@adoboawesome]

Gunship mode looks like a seagull.

[@syntheticpacifist]

+adoboawesome Mega Wingull, space military edition.

[@CayeDaws]

If they ever make a new Galvatron and not make it look like a joke (cannon mode) they should turn him into a jet.

[@OptimusPhillip]

Wasn't there also a Galvatron G repaint of this mold?

[@dol_mel7487]

i believe their was

[@gameguy372446]

which version scales best with eneron/super link optimus prime?

[@gannondollins]

so he never technically stopped being galvatron after armada?

[@OptimusPhillip]

Decepticon Allbro He reverted to Megatron in Galaxy Force

[@whtelight_]

Hey @TJOmega I have an Energon Megatron that looks different in size and color. The White paint is a metallic pearl color, all the blue is a metallic dark blue, and the decepticon emblem is a metallic dark purple. I think its also bigger than the one in this video. What kind do I have?

[@TJOmega]

You've got the Leader class version of this toy that was made for the US market. This smaller version is the mold Japan released, then eventually made an exclusive in the US.

[@whtelight_]

@@TJOmega thanks

[@jacobmckinney4368]

TJ why isn't the sword the clear color like the standard release? Is this a Japan figure? I missed it if you said it was or not.

[@TJOmega]

+Jacob McKinney As stated, this is the smaller version of the toy sold in a two pack at Toys R Us. Only the Leader class had a clear blade.

[@jacobmckinney4368]

+TJOmega cool never even knew that was released

[@RialVestro]

Didn't this come with the Deluxe Class Optimus Prime? I really want to see that figure combined with Rodimus in both modes just because I like the idea of two Primes, even though Rodimus wasn't a Prime in that series, combining together. They have an updated G1 feel to them especially fighting against a homage to the G1 Galvatron.

[@sandreastayprettyjones9193]

his energy sword don't miss with it if your name starts with a S

[@red_underscore911]

I'm trying to find a decently priced henkei megatron can someone link me to one?

[@Rustbucket184]

The only ever energon toys I had were mcdonalds Optimus and Galvatron

[@duskbringer4583]

Eh, got none, but got Armada and Cybertron stuff.

[@TaroProductions]

fun fact: in super-link, megatron was galvatron

[@lazarussolomon3541]

that sword is 95% tank 3% handle and 2% blade

[@nightmarelyoko]

i love enrgon Megatron and optimus prime and the show childhood

[@garryghastopulous9722]

he looks more Galvatron then any megatron

[@Sonicthehedgehog1773]

Rad

[@DragoonMS]

I actually prefer the Voyager Galvatron/Galvatron Great (aka Megatron/Galvatron) mold to the craptastic Leader mold...like...why did Hasbro upsize it?

[@TJOmega]

They needed a large-sized toy for the Leader class. In Armada they only had one mold to sell at that price point and it didn't work out, lots warming shelves, so they needed some variety.

[@sandreastayprettyjones9193]

that button in the wrong place

[@soundblaster1987reviews]

Technically, this is a Mega Class Megatron...

[@StevenDolce]

SD-07 Galvatron

[@aonze11]

Why couldn't they make him a tank?

[@DaPopeANata]

+aonze11 Because he was already a tank in Armada and they wanted to do something different this time? Something they apparently like to do, seeing as pretty much every Megatron that has spanned multiple shows/movies gets a completely different type of vehicle if he changes altmodes.

[@aonze11]

Oh I thought there was a legal issue or something thanks.

[@boombob3D]

R.I.P toys R us 😢

[@NotMyRealName6]

The tank on the Leader version... for Primus sake _take the batteries out!_ The machine gun sound is the most obnoxious thing I've heard coming out of any Transformer I own. Also, at least the Leader has rotation below the elbow, I think. I have two of the Leader figure, sadly both Megatron, but thankfully only one tank. Also the barrel detaches on the Leader-class version of the tank, makes posing easier and disables that machine gun sound.

[@crispincain1665]

The light gimmick never worked BECAUSE of the red led. Had it been clear, it would have been better. Not awesome, but better. I have a Thundertron, with a red led in a blue transparent sword. Same problem.

[@ZekeZen]

I don't know why...but it looks like a canine skull

[@mini-conlongarm8021]

I saw it too.

[@UNIWarriorThomas]

I love the energon/superlink designs despite the cg looking...bad imo

[@raihanarkan7724]

👍👍👍

[@raihanarkan7724]

😀😀😀

[@christophersichler98]

In my opinion ALL Transformers toys that weren't made to be super-pose able are bad toys.

[@dol_mel7487]

thats not really true and your opinion is a little silly cause articulation doesn't make it bad

[@dol_mel7487]

classics optimus prime isn't super posable bit its one of the best CHUG optimus prime

[@christophersichler98]

+Jetfire48 Well, I do like all of the CHUG molds that I actually have a copy of, including the Classics Voyager Optimus Prime mold and Henkei Megatron, of which I actually have a copy.
