Optibotimus Reviews: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class MEGATRON

[@PaulGaither]

I was never a fan of the gun mode. I do not care much for mass shifting, and the only two characters who do that which I enjoy are Soundwave and Perceptor because the characters themselves are cool with elegent designs. So, I am happy that the big bad leader of the Decepticons is an assault tank instead of a handgun.

[@ratbat1072]

Hasbro wouldn't have made a gun because gun laws. That's why titans return sixshot and wfc seige shockwave's gun modes are upsie down submarines

[@sonerec725]

@@ratbat1072 I propose a new submarine mode for megatron. He always seemed aquadicly inclined: imgur.com/gallery/2R7Goai

[@ShellshockDM187]

Same. I always loved his robot mode but the gun mode........... never liked it tbh.

[@agentshaunsmith]

OMG how can you not be a fan of the G1 Gun it killed at least half of the cast off 😂.

[@cheesy378]

Right The handgun was not a dominant Thing for him to transform into , The leader of the cons was transforming into a Handgun for other cons to use..... I absolutely hated that, a tank fits him much better and Is much more dominant

[@bulbafett5787]

That sword looks like the one he used in fall of cybertron when hes fighting optimus

[@Slashercon]

Was totally thinking that too. Intentional or not, I like the resemblance.

I like the battle wear, it adds character and some nice detail. These are warring factions, they shouldn't look fresh out of the factory all the time.

[@MiXVoy]

simply a mix of G1 Megs and Armada Megs' tank mode in G1 colors

[@marcch72]

Mixey Boy smells like another Armada repaint might show up

[@gerardootero1149]

Mixey Boy there is a Generations Armada Megatron in the Combiner Wars entry.

[@twistedgaming9185]

Of course Megatron has more battle damage, he is a gladiator after all (most of the time). P. S.: he works better as a tank than a puny pistol.

[@thehaloscrolls391]

I’m gone for two months and suddenly siege has a MEGATRON!? AND ITS A BEAUTIFUL MEGS TO THAT!!!

[@zetamagnus101]

Megatron is much better as a tank. Shows off Megatron's military might and just makes more sense.

[@kira-dk2mx]

Megatron works best as a tank, at least in this modern age. It's the ultimate symbol of war. Besides, I doubt the gun alt mode would work these days without going the Classics route and making it a sci-fi blaster.

[@johnflores8843]

I would have waited an eternity for this.....

[@joshuajohnson3505]

Megaton’s tank mode was the only good thing to come of g2

I kinda miss the green though it would be cool to get a green recolor of earthrise megs with a different head as a g2 reference

when you think about it g1 megatron is just a big target Master

[@reaverofsouls]

The robot mode looks absolutely stellar. Going to have to get this one to replace my Classics Megs.

[@iliannah1238]

15:31 is when he transforms it to a tank

[@thundercat2000ca]

US law regarding toy/replica guns make a Gun-Megatron a non-starter And when you then about it He's been a tank and/or aircraft longer then he's ever been a gun.

[@gerardootero1149]

thundercat2000ca unless they come with that removable orange piece. That’s what the Masterpiece G1 Megatron figure has. And most of the time, people just have him in robot mode with the battle damage pieces applied to the figure so they can recreate the fight between him and Optimus Prime in the old Transformers movie. Extra points if they have G1 Hot Rod. “Fall! FALL!!!”

[@Quantum_Magnus]

Gerardo Otero How did you understand this comment?

[@gerardootero1149]

Trenton Quant because I know about why toys based on firearms have that orange tip on the barrel. Remember Entertech?

[@Mr007jamster]

No hollow limbs? Is this 2010?

[@ScottieMcLaughlin]

Thanks for all these great reviews, mr. Botimus! Really helps me decide which figures to get and which not! You just got yourself a new sub, dude! Keep up the good work! :)

[@defenderprime8046]

Great review! I also agree that Megatron works as a tank, I think the first tank I've seen for Megatron's alternate mode was in Transformers: Armada I believe, and it suits him. He's been a tank for a while now, most notably the Combiner Wars Megatron. The paint applications look good, it indicates war damage and I think it will be the same for this entire line, and BTW, have you seen Leader Class Ultra Magnus? Looks incredible! But the one I'm most looking forward to is the Deluxe class Hound!

[@SuperGodzilla2]

i fell in love with Titans Return Megatron, but this one is just amazing, i dont have him yet but the reviews have been great. i love that you dont need to remove his canon for his transformation ( you can but just dont need to ), and i like that the Decepticon icon is not a cheap sticker. this was an awesome review as always dude

[@cdogcdog4814]

These are awesome i cant believe i missed Chosen Primes a second. It was there, tried order it & was gone. I like how Has-Tak go extra mile with all pins, screws, ratchets & little movable parts like shoulder gun hammer pieces. Great review!

[@khamm83]

Thank you so much for this video! I thought I was the only one when it came to his hips/legs and step 13 of his instructions. Before this video I was like WTF I can’t do this

[@tt3015]

I like the Siege Megatron more than the Titans Return Megatron.

[@JethammerTakeoff]

TR megs was just waiting to be turned into blitzwing but I love siege megs, authentics megs, cyberverse megs, and earthrise megs looks like it’s going to be awesome

[@jovyrivera7055]

Wish both Optimus and megatron were leader classes

[@Shadowechokat]

While I'm glad Megatron has now found a consistent alternate mode in the form of tank, seeing as Siege goes for Cybertronian designs, I feel this is the last time we could've gotten Megatron as a gun.

[@tt3015]

I kinda like the Siege toy line cuz the Siege figures are 90% G1 and 10% movie.

In the artwork Megatron is standing on Omega Supreme’s head.

[@rixlan]

A very impressive figure. They kept his cool robot mode while giving him an impressive new Alt mode. And with almost no kibble! His front treads fold into a sort of back pack but it doesn't stick out or look out of place. The worst I can say about it is that in tank mode those are so obviously his his feet sticking out the back.

[@Quasar4449]

3:48 that’s so cool I would always do that if I display him in tank mode

[@nephilim6001]

LOL oh man !! That thing you just did with the turret was a seller! Awesome review of this figure best so far !! You sold me on it. I was very very iffy about this one ☝️

[@xibecou2b]

In the larger image it shows he actually is, was wondering if someone would comment

if i had this megatron i would store the sword in a way that it looks like the gun barrel from the g1 megatron

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

Oooh! Throwing shade at Baltmatix at 2:15! 😆 I agree with Optibotimus, I love the paint.

[@optibotimus]

Does he have issues? I haven't watched his videos in some time

[@MDAndMC676]

if megatron was in real life and if he was a tank i would run and hide

[@stretchscreamers]

Thank you for not being annoying and having good lighting

[@mwidenst]

I didn’t know that watching all the way to the end helps? Will do so in the future.

[@DCMarvel2009]

Nice work as usual, Optibotimus! Yyyyyyyyeah, this guy is definitely gonna be replacing my Titans Return Megatron on my shelf, but I could repurpose TR Megs for something else. Good work!

[@graefx]

While they're about the same height. Megatron looks bigger overall. Just more mass, bigger chest, etc, and I really like that. I like his backpack weirdly enough. Optimus's backpack had a more kibbly look to me because of it being a pile of flat panels. Megatron's looks a little more purpose full I guess.

[@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002]

My favorite part about the Siege Megatron figure is the turret knife he uses, got me into thinking if I made a Transformers character based on the character who wears black armor and carries a big ahh sword from this one violent manga I read lol.

[@DaSoto21500]

Hey Optibotimus, I’ve been watching you’re videos for about 6 years or so now and I’m just now starting to collect high end figures like MP and Third Party and I was wondering what kind of cases you use to display your figures?

[@jedipoodoo]

The battle damage is easy to overlook in my opinion. When I saw the preview images some time ago I didn't like it that much, but in hand it's a great figure. What I do for the head is I just took a small piece of paper, folded it up, and placed it in there underneath the flap the head's on. Easy fix as I personally don't plan on taking him out of robot mode that often anyway. Great video as always man.

[@transformersofeternia]

I love this Megatron design. I definitely will be buying it if stores can ever stock them.

[@ALLHAILTRANSFORMERS]

perfect egality between optimus and megatron. 22:27 for both of them

[@reventonrowe6111]

The battle damage looks more like Measels or a bad Cybertonian Rash.😂

[@jr.a8301]

probably from all the rust storms. lol 😂..might be an allergic reaction 😂😂

[@BENNY-gw2gy]

keep calm and all hail Megatron

[@maybetoby]

Just like the Optimus, this looks really good

[@bradmullaerialphotography]

It does look better then the tr megs, but I don't like the paint damage on the chest. But I'm not going to buy it so it dosent mater. I hope once this siege trilogy is done we get a hard reboot of the franchise like beast wars did. All we are getting now are slight variations of g1, and there's only soo much g1 you can do

[@bradmullaerialphotography]

Bill O'Brien okay do those figures and stop giving us multiple primes and megatrons

[@silenceenigma587]

Peaugh recently showed what the Megatron and Optimus Prime from this line looked like without the battle damage paint aps on his Twitter and they look pretty sweet! He used rubbing alcohol and a q-tip and the paint came right off

[@stuartloth-jesion7491]

I just bought Siege Megatron yesterday, and I definitely like it. I still like the TR version of Megatron too because of the design of his robot mode thanks to him being a pretool of Blitzwing

[@deadso]

I can't un-see the feet in tank mode, so it's pretty much a no for me. I love the Siege line though.

[@ZuluRomeo]

Megatron is not Megatron without his arm mounted fusion cannon.

[@BrickDevilTributes]

If it wasn't for the fact that I hand painted TR Megs metallic silver and with a Shapeways arm cannon, I'd probably switch over to this figure. I also gave him a better sticker(from reprolabels) for the Decepticon symbol. Same situation for my Prime F/E Optimus when compared to this now line. I will have to pick up that LC Shockwave. He looks hella nice.

[@yal0caldealer]

The problem with Megatron going back to G1 gun is a problem because we Australians can’t get him because they banned his gun form search it up if you don’t believe me

[@dankmemer2774]

Burnout Champ yea? Singapore bans gum. U aint got it that bad buddy.

[@2fabdad]

Hegemon has competition for the official megs in my collection. Will need him in hand to make a final decision. There is no doubt he is megatron.

[@Firelord91021]

Some did make a gun mode with no mods if you are like me and want both a tank and a gun

[@SleepingGroke]

Honestly, I do like the tank design. The robot mode however doesn't really appeal to me. Just feels too wide for me. Plus G1 style Megatron isn't really my thing with his bucket head. Just a personal opinion.

[@Teletran35]

OMG I want this line the characters are so G1ish I love it

[@prgrm_err]

On my figure the head has a sort of friction lock but yours seems too loose. The head 'plate' is basically tensioned against the front of the cavity that it folds into

I have Siege Meg next to me and I can say...the "dirt" makings are random when I was checking between yours from mine. The flap where the head is is aminor nit-pik...but not enough to deduct the points off of this figure. Might do the same on replacing the "Titans return" off my chelf...just leaving the titan master on there.

I know this video was 6 years ago but i don't have the figure and i have a burning question. Are you able to take the blades off the sword so that its just the cannon and put it on his back like g1 megs barrel?

[@athrillcalledphill7639]

Some Megatron figures are illegal cause the gun he transforms into was so realistic apparently

I like battle dagame as a concept, but some of these... I like the damage/dirt on Megatron's legs, but his chest area "damage" just looks weird to me. Something about the color, I think. And possibly the very sort of "neat" application.

[@atlas6538]

I am gonna repaint mine

[@GrayskullPrime]

If they're going to give us paint applications I'd rather they make sense. Like coloring in some of those molded tail lights for a change. I've spent too much time looking for figures without paint splatters, I guess.
