The transformation is complex but it's ingenious. I also really like how there's a recognizable style between all of your G1 builds.

[@russellharrell2747]

This is incredible. The complexity, the overall look, the possibility, it’s amazing that you consider this not the final version.

[@ENZO_D]

It's because the second will be Galvatron!

[@JLvatron]

@@ENZO_D Oh Matrix, that would be ablazing!

[@rubikthegeek2138]

That's it, I'm convinced you are a wizard. That's the only possible explanation for how this looks so good in both modes.

[@snoopy3372]

Bro this guy is so underrated! Such a good KZbinr.

[@aidanholland4246]

You made a Megatron that doesn’t have parts forming going on with the fusion canon & you did it with legos. You have my gratitude & respect for making this a thing.

[@jmurray1110]

Plus minimal kibble

[@aidanholland4246]

@@jmurray1110 yeah that too

[@henrybenjamin7606]

MP38 could only do that through an insanely complex transformation

[@thomaschristensen2941]

I mean, realistically, tank megatron, truck megatron and jet megatron are much more menacing and generally interesting that "goofy ahh luger robot". But its Robot, And Also a Gun! Whats not to love!

[@polskiwyrob7650]

wow that torso is really clever, great build! I like g1 megatron's design but i think efforts made to make that design turn into anything other than a gun typically fall flat. I think your megatron is very successful, that robot looks slick

[@basedflowerpl686]

@polskiwyrob7650 widzę że nie tylko ja lubię transformers i lego

[@g.williams2047]

I think that making him a tank is the best gun alternative. Keeps the visible gun aspects , and if the designer is smart enough, you can hide the treads pretty well too.

[@ImFromFinland787]

This is probably the best G1 Megatron I've ever seen! I also noticed your G1 Optimus looks kinda different from last time...

[@JordanToa_YT]

Absolutely love the head sculpt and the fact that parts actually stud together instead of just resting in place. Very very nice! Awesome work! ☺️

[@StutopianStudios]

This is like a Lego masterpiece Megatron, and it was worth the wait!

[@Mandotransformers.]

Hey stutopian!

[@slayr4170]

Lego should hire this guy he’s so talented and makes quality figures

[@samurexatlas7373]

This is all quite nice. Good looking Megs.

[@daws0n128]

The turret is so silly and honestly it fits the G1 theme pretty well ngl. As for Megatron, frickin' beatiful, sir!!! Honestly, from the head to the toes, he's absolutely astonishing. One of the best (not only looking, but also mechinical-wise) of your G1 style builds. Love. It.

[@bootthekid]

That gun is god tier tho. Also very nice head transformation 👌

[@arcturionblade1077]

Fantastic design. The transformation of the legs and the torso (especially moving the right arm to the opposite side) is really impressive. Looks great in both modes!

[@allencampbell3350]

Dude, that leg transformation is one of the most amazing, cleanest, clever and satisfying engineering feats I've ever seen on a bot! Masterstroke!

[@rjeagle3057]

Absolutely phenomenal! Captures the G1 Megatron design accurately enough in Lego form. Amazing!!

[@skuffy4930]

Even though it's not at all intentional, HOT DANG, Megatron can absolutely pull off a visor!

[@soundwave8475]

Wow that's very impressive, those legs are very smooth and clean and the transformation for them was top notch.

[@courtneylarrigan3272]

This is Insane. To design a transformer is one thing, but to do it with lego limitations is NUTS

[@etonymous1632]

Crazy engineering here. Simply magic

[@matthewdoyle3628]

Jaw hit's ground after seeing the engineering and creativity to create such a masterpiece.

[@ChaosFire_0806]

merry christmas! coincidentally, I just started watching g1 yesterday and this was one of my favorite designs already

[@Blake_Stone]

Classic Megatron's transformation is hellishly complex, even the G1 toy was fiddly and the end result was ghastly - modern iterations like Masterpiece etc are a nightmare to transform in order to get both modes to look right. So the fact you got it looking as good as it does with a transformation that's in any way sane is quite an accomplishment.

[@EmeraldFatalis]

Fantastic upgrade to your previous attempts. The head alone looks fantastic. I know it will never happen, but I would love to see an official mainline figure transform like this.

[@Dregoman]

That is an awesome Megatron build. I would love to get your instructions on how to build him.

[@angusg.2049]

I really love this creative way of using lego system and technic. It always feels like you're pushing the medium to it's creative limit and it just makes your work even more impressive!

[@EverythingbyChoice]

what a great Christmas present!great job,and keep up the good work,my man.

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

Great design. I'm sure it was a huge puzzle working that out!

[@TheLightLOD]

Very impressive, I love how your model actually transforms rather than the fairly basic covers that simply hide the robot on many of the plastic toy transformers.

[@ltrstudios5373]

Yes! Megatron looks amazing and I can't wait for your updated soundwave! Keep up the great work!

[@ImariLopez-nv9ry]

This is masterpiece quality, the shoulders are a little wierd but i know it would look good in specific poses. The legs are still a bit thin and not as thick as the show models but close enough. It has a stylised flare to it while capturing the essence of the original. I can agree with you on the fact of Megatron's design not bieng as iconic as the rest as bieng a gun isn't that practical as a war machine willing to kill who ever with his own hands but the robot mode is still iconic as it is still the for alot of vurrent and past deaigns. Anyway the model looks great, love it 👍

[@stuchly1]

Okay I wanna say I was never a Megatron fanboy, especially of the G1 version but this lego build is absolutely incredible. The transformation is fantastic and has multiple super sneaky steps, such as unclipping the chestplate on one side to let the head slip through. That alone makes the little bits and bobs on the gun easy to forget, but honestly, they were little details that were easily overlooked anyway, especially on a LEGO robot that transforms into a gun without the necessity of being taken apart into individual bricks. 😂 All thumbs up for this one. Both modes look excellent and the transformation was a thing to behold.

[@dwarfboy9996]

Dude, that transformation looked satisfying af

[@big_benny_boi5290]

ive been waiting an eternity for this its here prime :)

[@DaftVGC]

Thanks for showing us the transformation! Now I can build it myself!

[@njpharos]

This is amazing. And don't worry too much about the shoulders, they were a bit lower in the show as well. Merry Christmas, STSC. Can't wait to see what you'll make in 2024.

[@miranhafunclub5048]

Could you ever build Wheeljack? he's my favorite Autobot, anyway, I loved this Megatron

[@Greanbeens14]

Yeah, we need Lego wheeljack

[@gergero7427]

Why is this the best Megs I've seen in a long time ?

[@superman04p]

We're not worthy..... We're not worthy.... Dude !!!! This is incredible !!! So much like the original G1....

[@BraveLittlePixel]

The building brainpower on display here should concern humanity

[@ENZO_D]

This is like a Master Piece in LEGO version, so cool

[@Trikeboy2]

You really should apply for Lego Masters. The engineering in this is amazing.

[@mmmmythical]

I am so impressed with this! It’s amazing how you engineered this, with the chest door flipping up. It can be really hard to pull off asymmetry in the transformation at a scale like this so it is really cool to see how this came out

[@brunoavalos4044]

The round stud in his face makes him look like he's smiling, truly villanous, great design

[@michi7603]

Very nice

[@CosmicHase]

That's the coolest transformation I've ever seen

[@RejonMunchausen]

80s kid me would have rather had this than the actual toy, excellent work

[@inflewence]

This is wow. I can barely put together the prefab Legos lol. Great job.

[@FlamesReviewsAndMocs]

testing soundwave at the end was peek like the head design, no joke, when I saw it for the first time I said "thats a dang good head design" so good job

[@TFmotion07]

Like Megatron said himself, will these wonders never cease?

[@fvkaciv]

the original 1986 movie will always be the best and i love megatron as a gun so nostalgic for me

[@VenomWithEyes]

How many blood sacrifices did it take to make that?! It looks too good to have been made by human hands.

[@beatrixwickson8477]

Very satisfying Lego transformation. This is so beyond my skill, you have my admiration.

[@half-faust]

Great design. Really like seeing how it's progressed from your previous attempts.

[@Freddyfan1428]

This is seriously impressive! Very well done! (Can't imagine how stressful the trial and error was trying to figure out proper engineering for this!)

[@joshuakorynta3385]

I was gonna tell you about trigger safety but the Nostalgia Critic jumpscare got to me. At least it's December.

[@kratosrage6361]

I do remember that the last we saw Megatron transform into a gun was back in Combiner Wars the Netflix series an maybe Devastation an his gun mode is basically a rifle not a pistol anymore making Megatron as a triple changer an i would say that is very smart decision to have him turn into a tank an a gun is good choice to change his gun design from becoming a Walther P 38 to becoming a Cybertronian Rifle instead

[@SolMuun]

The original Megatron toy was pretty difficult to transform as well, so this is very impressive despite the foibles.

[@ChaoticTeen16]

That Torso is some BLACK MAGIC engineering!

[@nate547]

You son of a gun. You actually did. I’m impressed 😂😮

[@Griffingterra]

I'm SEEING THE TRANSFORMATION, and my brain is still saying, "THIS IS WITCH CRAFT, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, REBOOT".

[@frankd4581]

Please make a video for a lego transformers victory Deathsaurus please

[@jmurray1110]

It looks amazing It’s basically impossible to get a G1 megatron officially even with Optimus due to toy gun legislation and Lego being cowards when it comes to military stuff but this is a very good alternative if you can make it Obviously it has its issues; the face would need a custom sticker like the official Optimus, the silencer really needs to not droop abd attach to the barrel and u really don’t like that 1 neck step were you can’t to take a stud off to let the head in Still excellent work

[@T_PLAYER]

this thing has some impressive engineering behind it. good job!

[@Straigo]

While I completely disagree, G1 Megs being the greatest G1 TF design wise by leaps and bounds, this Lego moc is phenomenally well done.

[@Mandotransformers.]

THIS IS A REALLY GOOD MEGATRON

[@Smgk551]

That would be good if its official as long its like the G1 Lazer Sniper Blaster

[@purplefishmonkeybutt]

Beautifully done!

[@ScarlettsSafeSpot]

Hey. No g1 slander. But also, it’s wild that this guy can build a better screen accurate Megatron than Takara itself.

[@gavinlanphear882]

This is crazy man good work

[@IchiAriichisanroku]

This guy cooks every single time

[@TalenLee]

this is some shockingly clever stuff

[@equilibrium_law]

You should maybe consider creating a size-standard for your transformer mocs if you prefer for them to be consistent in sizing/scale. But I think you should also consider upscaling your mocs for the sake of detail, smoother transformations, sturdier connections/joints, etc... Generally it would be neat if they got to a size where you could really get the result you desire without being too bashed by size constraints. Also, h-something or other bricks, I can't remember his name, all I know is that he has a bird pfp last time I checked. Anyways, this guy is a pretty experienced lego mech builder which I think you could gain some knowledge from by looking through his videos because he does some pretty complex stuff

[@elementalgamer0732]

2:11 one out of five cybertronians ya'll, be respectful.

[@grinningspoon26]

YOOO W

[@Litebikeman97]

I think the gun mode is an awful alt mode for the decepticon leader. But I do think it is a unique and iconic design. And I’m always glad to see another Lego adaptation of it 😁. The transformation on this guy is truly mind blowing and incredible. Both modes look really well done.

[@CarRobots]

I was looking through your videos not even an hour ago to see if you've done a g1 megatron!

[@gianlo6894]

Lego NEEDS to hire you.

[@irongunmen9446]

could we possibly see an NES Zapper version?

[@jco_83]

Fantastic. Well done indeed 👏

[@rogue1874]

Great job. Looks like megaton.

[@opuanwar5775]

Absolutely astounding!

[@DV-ql4jw]

7:13 NOOOOOOOOOO, not again 😭

[@williamcrowe2576]

Made of LEGO pieces or not, you'd have a tough time getting it through airport customs.

[@michaelsimmons9296]

This looks great!

[@BlackCatStudios-nt8fg]

Hasbro should use this for their eventual Ss 86 Megs

[@jonothanthrace1530]

I love the robot mode, it's Obari as fuck.

[@Mr.Jaysick]

Pretty awesome dude, great work! You should go work for one of the masterpiece companies

[@jackofallclaws6672]

Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Scissors!

[@lowrdr91382]

This is so freaking awesome

[@melissaadrian1358]

Look like an official Lego product

[@turtamo]

Wow, he looks incredible! The head coming through the chest may be the best technique I’ve seen on any of your transformers! Also where do you get the insignia stickers?

[@piggyplayzmc93]

2:05 chill guy, you can’t show silencers being put on or removed on YT.

[@nonormalcentral4589]

Happy holidays

[@private-gustav]

you should make a totoriel video with a bricklink list! PLEASE! 🙏

[@RAFMnBgaming]

this is fantastic

[@BenedictF79B]

Easily masterpiece

[@ericcaballero1038]

How is Legos not making these?! I'd pay to have actual transformers themed Legos

[@robertporter1143]

Well done
