UPDATE: Thanks guys for letting me know that there is suppose to be an additional panel at the base of the neck that should hide the robot mode fist when you guys get yours :) thanks so much for checking it out!

great job about Transformers LEGACY Leader Class Transmetal II MEGATRON Review

[@fadzilhamid736]

I really love Transmetal 2 Dragon 🐉 Megatron 😃! Despite Dragon Megatron's face not a screen accurate, but for articulation and dragon mode is awesome 😎. The accessory for Transmetal 2 Dragon Megatron is pretty cool too, the flame 🔥 effect, such a super sweet touch, for my opinion 😁. I will keep Transmetal 2 Dragon Megatron in dragon form 🐉 only because his dragon form so fantastic looking dragon 😃. Hopefully i manage to get Transmetal 2 Dragon Megatron if i get chance to get it 😊. Happy nice day, PrimevsPrime 😊.

[@Everymoth]

Wow he looks fantastic great video and I really want a new optimal optimus so I can have both of them together as I’m planning to get that megaton

[@nightmare69metalmatt52]

Looks like a pressure fit bit I'd check out the studio

[@Starvaze]

Why dose youtube keep showing 4 replies but there's none (except this one) on my version

[@kahlaarabbani2907]

didnt expect his dragon claws to actually integrate and become part of the chest instead of trying to hide or tuck it in the body like dinobot. that's actually smart.

[@roadblock7801]

Didn't expect that either. I'd say that's very clever.

[@dustinpahel5950]

I think the robot mode back kibble would’ve been better managed if the upper dragon chest was on a hinge and swivel, so you rotate it 180° and fold it up over the dragon belly, so the dragon chest becomes the robot back shoulder muscles

[@blackcrowofvengeance1170]

Holy moly! That was INCREDIBLE! The transformation from robot mode to dragon mode is fantastic. That combined with the articulation is astounding for a modern interpretation of the Beast Wars Transmetal 2 Megatron. Keep up the good work.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thanks so much! :)

[@darkdragon898]

@@PrimeVsPrime it looks way better than the T-Rex Megatron

[@Night5225]

According to Sam Smith, TF design manager at Hasbro, the factory messed up the head. This is his statement taken from his Instagram: “to be honest it's a bit of a miss by the factory. There was sculpted teeth detail that are far less pointed that unfortunately got washed out as it moved into production. Early samples had a fully painted silver face and mouth, so this was the factories attempt at recreating the teeth sculpt which did end up more pointed.”

[@wanderlustwarrior]

Did he say if this would be fixed at any point?

[@michaeljavier870]

I’m actually surprised that this figure’s transformation is so much cleaner than the original toy it was based from.

[@cahillrebel]

The head is clearly designed to look more like the toy head Transmetal Megatron had. So don’t blame Hasbro for the design when it’s more they picked the wrong head. Though I like that it differs from the Kingdom version.

[@Gigazilla-pm2on]

Hopefully DNA design will give us an upgrade kit

[@Sleesus]

The original head looked more like the animation model for beastwars megatron than the previous heads but with sharp gritted teeth. This looks more like a "pretool for cryotec" situation.

[@yashbalaji3262]

@@Sleesus what’s a pretool?

[@KairuHakubi]

for what they're charging, would another faceplate have been so much to ask?

[@cahillrebel]

@@Sleesus I mean a little but the overall way it was layered is accurate to this new sculpt. The teeth are the difference and that’s actually do to a mold issue they talked about apparently. The official sculpted model had the same grimace from the toy but with a lot of sharp teeth. That was a probably when molding and the molders just created the teeth we got now. Or the teeth from scraped off and printed the teeth.

[@BudBudgie]

Definitely a must buy for me! 🤩 My only complaint is his head but that's minor, still a fantastic figure! 👍

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I agree with you :)

[@daosxion776]

I had the original transmetal Megatron growing up, and I really like the improvements of design this version has.

[@Gentleman_Jester]

I’m really disappointed they didn’t include any of the red chrome “transmetal “ pieces. That was the coolest part of the original figure. But other than that. There is some definite improvements over the original.

[@Rocket1377]

Chrome paint tends to chip off, so I'm glad they didn't use it.

[@axelgrease69]

This is such an awesome figure, I'm definitely getting it when I can. The headsculpt would make sense for a Cryotek repaint.

[@miguelarcachero6103]

Can't wait for the next Legacy Transmetals 2 Megatron retool..." "In a Beast Machines Universe!"

[@davidct1157]

Ok passed on kingdom megatron when I heard this guy was coming then seen pics didnt do him justice was thinking I made a mistake but after seeing this review I know I did the right thing amazing figure great video thank you now just hope i can get the money for him lol .

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Oh thanks so much! Appreciate your support :)

[@PyrozPlayground]

I am honestly pretty blown away by this one! I really wanted to see a review on him, before making a decision. And now that I've seen this, I am 100% gonna get him! Especially since my original TM2 Megs's left leg broke off at the knee.. -_-

[@samurexatlas7373]

Holy crap, Black Arachnia riding Megatron!

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Haha yes!

[@mechanova]

the translucent visor makes me think this is going to be repainted into deathsaurus

[@Night5225]

I hope not. The big JG1 guys need their own sculpts, especially Deathsaurus, to compliment Victory Saber.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Perhaps!

[@johnjihoonyim0317]

As always your review is so amazing! I really like it! And yea wish this Megatron should've has another facial expressions like evil grinned

[@J.Valentine1031]

In the original Transmetal 2 Megatron, the dragon mode chest piece was a shield on his arm. I kind of wish they did that with this version vs making it a big backpack that goes on his back.

[@dravyn_grimes_official]

Such a beautiful design. Cannot wait to add this to my collection

[@300kyuubi]

YES! I have been waiting for this one! Yes! Yes!

[@Michael-590]

They probably made the face that way so that they can pass it off as another character like a Megatron RiD 2001 redeco without having to create a new head sculpt.

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

Personally would’ve liked a 2001 RID leader Megs but this works too and also like it.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Yessss! I think you're right!

[@seanagulan9481]

Oh, so that the reason why they made this head sculpt.

[@allmatrixstudios1424]

Another great informative review can’t wait to pick this guy up myself!

[@desperadowest2004]

Hoping we get a good upgrade kit for some better weapons + a better head/face sculpt, would be wicked if we get alt faces in an upgrade kit too. He needs some wrist swivel and articulated fingers too.

[@primecable]

Plus a peace for the gap in the dragons neck maybe

[@TheDangerFloof]

They said that the headsculpt wasn't supposed to have as toothy a mouth, but the factory altered it to make it easier to produce. I don't know why that's something that's allowed to happen, but it did.

[@johnmichaelmarasigan1180]

Holy transmetal predacon megatron thats sick(good vid btw👌👌👍👍👍)

[@christian10697]

This figure is fantastic! Awesome review! Cannot wait for this guy!

[@samurexatlas7373]

I would've liked to see the shoulder pad on the dragon headed arm actually shift down to make the neck look a bit more complete.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I do believe there is suppose to be a panel there actually

[@LeoMartinezskates]

The neck looks really weird in dragon mode.

[@JohnParkerDrums]

Dude’s fist is just hanging out. Like he’s throat punching himself.

[@joshuavis2736]

There are pictures out there that show him next to optimal optimus. Megs is smaller than prime which I’m pretty sure Is show accurate

[@elrioter4191]

IIRC, POTP Optimal is a head taller than Legacy TM2 Megs according to the design manager's Instagram. I think that's accurate to the show

[@tristanrose5618]

@@elrioter4191 can you link the guy please

[@kevinars627]

To me this is the best megatron design of any reincarnation

[@kanohihorder1228]

Honestly I like the new head it's like the new sculpt it has a bit of a G1 toy Megatron look it's like the toy is implying that like primal when Megatron got the spark of the original it starts to mutate his features to look like his G1 counterpart because of who the spark belongs to

[@90lancaster]

That is what happens when you hire people just out of school who the only thing they know about Transformers is what they read on TF wiki

[@grand_max66]

@@90lancaster And even then they may not read it at all, like what happened to Scourge.

[@MrGojira95]

Is it weird that when I saw the trailers for The Last Knight and a teaser poster with Prime and Dragonstorm, and I thought that was going to be Prime vs Megatron in Dragon mode? Would’ve fit right with the idea of Prime being a Knight while Megs is a Dragon.

[@PraetorGix]

Well done HasTak, a transmetal without a drop of chrome paint...

[@PrimeVsPrime]

sadly so!

[@setsuna200]

He does look better then original toy. The first robot mode was bas. The dragon mode was amazing. But I think they should do a masterpiece for transmetal 2 Megatron and Optimal Optimus/Transmetal 2 Optimus Primal.

[@DarkScorch]

This guy looks wicked! Fantastic review as always PvP

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Agreed! & thanks so much :)

[@dinobotslug5422]

Definitely could see a transformers prime predaking out of this mold

[@dkkanofkash8798]

At this point Predacon Megatron is the Willian Birkin of the Transformers universe with the amount of times he mutated and the number of bodies he changed, becoming more and more grotesque with each one. My favorite Predacon Megatron is definitely his Beast Machines incarnation because he was a literal god in that one.

[@dexterdexter8208]

Beast Machines? You can have your own opinion, but, uh, yikes.

[@thiagolucena4366]

@@dexterdexter8208 beast machines had a great plot, the darkest one for a children's series... it was just a bad follow-up series to Beast Wars.

A review of this figure? Yesssssssssss... Nice review mate!

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thanks so much!

[@CallumMaclachlan]

Been waiting you for this one to be reviewed by you. Great review. I've been really looking forward to it's release since it was first mentioned. I think the head sculp has a subtle homage to the original 1990's transmetal toy. Fair point in the back kibble, they could've engineered SOMETHING to make it more compact. Still a magnificent release though.

[@Sir_Bone-Head]

The original figure was one of my first Transformer figures I owned, so I’m definitely getting this guy, it looks amazing.

[@Optimusprime809]

Cool looking figure! That dragon mode is nice, love the scales! I love the edits in your video, where you've started putting in pics of things you're referring to. I did notice at 11:54 and onwards, there's an intermittent odd blue filter that gets applied to the playback 🤔 Not sure if you were aware but just thought I'd point it out in case you wanted to look into it 😁

[@aidansalminen]

I think it'd be cooler if they designed the tail to swap with the dragon head so the figure could be like the Megatron from Beast Machines,he used the three pronged claw on the tail to harvest sparks from Maximals and I feel like it'd be a cool call back to that series. All in all it's a really great figure and this was a great review.

[@leowatley]

i really dig that he can stare at his own ass during transformation. also, the way the claws slot into the chest in robot mode is pretty awesome looking.

[@the90sVampire]

In my imagination he broke multiversal planes when he fell off the ark many versions of bw megatron lost in the cybertronian multiverse... But.. The real version of him is standing on a meteor somewhere floating endlessly until some new opponent to discover him, standing there thinking about the beast wars.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

[@gottman861]

HEY THEIR just letting you know I've got the toy here, lot of gimmicky stuff and really the red is blpretty bland for the old figure. I'm disappointed the horn gimmick is gone but this is fairly accurate. The metallic pieces more ha e to do with the beast head and large scale. Otherwise the color deco is more modern than 90's shimmer Effect that you saw with transmetals which was prown to scratching.

[@brentc2411]

Yah it did, it was covered in red and gold chrome, and a nice flexible rubber material for the tail.

[@SamanthaS92]

All of the transmetal toys had a “metal” chrome finish. It was brittle and flaked off most figures over time, so I guess they didn’t want to revisit it.

[@Michael-590]

Yeah, they probably did that so he would blend-in more with the non-transmetal figures. I think it’s also further evidence of laziness. They probably didn’t want to coat him in metallic paint.

I think that the teeth in his mouth (robot head) make it look very off. I could imagine them releasing a toy accurate version with a show accurate painted face. Kind of like SIEGE Megatron's waist you have to swap out with Netflix Megatron's one. And I really hope they (actually expect them to) make a Cryotek.
