Ham-Man Reviews - Transformers Legacy United - Commander - MAGMATRON

From the second we got to feast our peepers on this series poster art I have been fiending to get my hands on this figure. I love the original, love the concept and love the character.
So how does this new version stack up?
Let me know how you’re giving in the comments below and Let’s Get Nerdy with It!

Great Review, I can't wait for mine to show up. I had the original back in the day, but he fell victim to my great Bot Purge of 2012.

[@HamManReviews]

Thank you sir! I think so many adult collectors have a purge story. It’s like our villain origin story. Also we gotta book in a time for the sit rep, I’m still super keen if you’ll have me

[@Allhailclaytron]

Just got him yesterday and absolutely in love with him.

[@HamManReviews]

So much love

[@TTMMH42]

I regret selling my original, So ready for this guy to arrive tomorrow. If Amazon is to be believed. Another great video sir.

[@HamManReviews]

Thanks so much my dude. The chance of future regret is why I have such a hard time moving anything on :/

[@woogha]

Just got mine. And "cohesively over-designed" is a perfect description.

[@HamManReviews]

Thanks so much my dude. I’m still surprised by how solid he is all combined

[@BenBoyee]

My first exposure to Magmatron was just a random image used in a Transformers history softcover, and as someone who had absolutely NO idea what a "beast wars" was, nevermind the Japanese side of things, I was like "who the heck is that guy? What does he turn into? Is he a triple-changer? I see a t-rex head, a brontosaurus and a pterodactyl thing here and there, what IS this guy?"

[@HamManReviews]

The real emperor of destruction. I guess he’s like the duocons? But a triocon

[@billwip4581]

Bro I was waiting for a review for this figure for so long. :D

[@HamManReviews]

Hahaha from me or from anyone? I think quite a few peeps beat me to the punch 🥊

[@basicfacekick]

Magmatron. Now we need a Magnaboss.

[@MrGojira95]

I’ll lose it if we get Magnaboss. ^_^

[@HamManReviews]

I rekon he’d be a titan if they did. To account for the added robot modes.

[@tformerfan82]

This is the second review that you've done that I end up purchasing the figure. Keep up the great work man.

[@HamManReviews]

Huzzah! The system works! Thanks so much my dude I appreciate it :)

[@HerohammerStudios]

Just ordered him to celebrate something the other day. Funny little coincidence

[@HamManReviews]

What a great gift to yoself!

[@HerohammerStudios]

@@HamManReviews he's smashing

[@michaelpapp5518]

10:19 That Toy Guy suggests leaving the soft blade stored in the landsaurus tail for a while. Said that straightened it up nicely for him.

[@HamManReviews]

That defs helped. I see him pop up a lot but have never peeped his stuff. The one down side to creating content is less time to consume content

2:24 I loved the Centurions. They were so cool. The play pattern was phenomenally fun. Like Legos and Star Wars combined, before there was Lego Star Wars.

[@HamManReviews]

That's what the weaponisers and Armorizers reminded me of

[@michaelpapp5518]

@@HamManReviews​​⁠oh yeah! You’re right! Wish they would do some Centurion homaging weaponizers now.

I can’t wait to get my copy in 2 days! I used to own him as a kid, sadly lost to time. But this new version looks excellent!

[@HamManReviews]

He's so good, I kinda can't believe how sturdy he is

[@demusicfan]

Was not expecting an FMA reference. Between Magmatron awesomeness and FMA sadness, my Monday has way too many feels.

[@HamManReviews]

I don't script so it jus popped outta my mouth while filming, I almost cut it in the dit cos it made me sad and gave me the ick.. then I thought about adding a cut away from the show but that was waaaaay too depressing

[@zetaTF]

Commander Class hits another home run!

[@HamManReviews]

It's rapidly become my most anticipated release of the year. So glad they're doing it in studio series now so we can double down

[@MrAikavari]

Had massive FOMO last Sunday when I saw him on that Zing shelf for 209$. Glad the wife talked me out of it. He’s on sale now on Amazon for 140$

[@HamManReviews]

Even at $209 I'd say worth it, for anything under $200 it's sale of the century

[@casualknight8962]

I have to wait for pay day Friday to get him but definitely worth the wait .

[@HamManReviews]

You won't be disappointed! unless ball jointed necks is your jam

[@ZachDy-xg9it]

The actual real-life names of Magmatron's components: ● The Landsaurus is a Giganotosaurus, which is one of the largest predatory dinosaurs to have ever existed (larger than Tyrannosaurus rex but smaller than Spinosaurus), and was the main dinosaur antagonist of Jurassic World: Dominion in 2022; ● The Skysaurus is a Quetzalcoatlus, which is not a dinosaur but a pterosaur and the largest creature that ever flew due to it possessing a wingspan of 36 feet, but the head design on this figure for me gives off major Jurassic World: Dominion Quetzalcoatlus vibes due to its head being similar to the Quetzalcoatlus from the movie; and ● The Seasaurus is an Elasmosaurus, which is a member of a group of marine reptiles called plesiosaurs that are known for having two pairs of paddle-like limbs and, in some species like Elasmosaurus, tiny heads perched on the end of long necks, but this particular animal went to extremes by having a neck that was half its body length and consisted of 72 vertebrae.

[@HamManReviews]

Man I love dinosaurs 🦖

[@rocketeye8683]

I’ve had him for a week now and I have to say Mags does not disappoint.

[@HamManReviews]

I’m super impressed, he’s a real standout

[@scottaksentsev3814]

You have a slight mistransformation on the landsaurus legs - it's easy to miss, but on the back, the hydrolic pipes plug into the back of the leg so that the knee moves as one angled unit in beast mode while retaining the actual articulation point.

[@HamManReviews]

I’ll check it out, thanks home slice

[@user-oh4ug3gs2j]

Awesome review!!!! Such an amazing figure, I also have the OG and love him but this is just a stunning update! Bot of the year for me so far!

[@HamManReviews]

Thanks so much my dude! Agreed he’s gonna be a tough one beat for number one spot this year.

[@strike5102]

[@robseman5212]

For a figure I have no interest in, I've now seen quite a few reviews on him, and I have to say, this was definitely the most entertaining. The love for the character really comes through. Well done, my dude.

[@HamManReviews]

Thanks so much my dude I really appreciate you taking the time to say so. He might be my favourite figure of the year thus far

[@incoherentbabbler4636]

Mine is hopefully coming in this week, way too excited for this beast(s)! The Neo cast was fun, but this guy was probably the most interesting member, especially towards the end. I wonder which actor could do a good English edition of his voice. I can only assume this guy exists because of the Victory Haslabs raking in massive numbers, which might have been taken as a sign of serious demand for more Japanese show characters. Maybe his IDW role and BM release helped pitch him? Neo still (to my understanding) isn't really legally available in any language other than Japanese, so people might be missing most of the stories that use this character. Makes his presence as a big cornerstone for this year kind of funny. I never would have counted on a hype train for Magmatron of all characters.

[@HamManReviews]

I'm so happy with him. I think as well, now that Hasbro and Takara doing the same releases they need to reprsent that market and the media they were exposed more.

[@AsheBailey]

Got mine yesterday!

[@HamManReviews]

Lovin it?

8:30 I hear there’s a transformation joint at the robot’s waist that can be used as a faux ab crunch.
