[@qtarocujoh]

@@jobobbob5825 Personally I feel like this is a budget thing with this sub-series, since Prime was meant to be the only one we were meant to get, until corporate stepped in wanting more, which resulted in the Deluxes being so bad, and I think Hasbro just doesn't have enough money to do this line justice with how many other figures and lines they are making, with most of the money probably going towards Legacy and regular SS, sucks but it's probably the truth especially in this economy

@@GH0STST4RSCR34M I'd have been very confused if that was an option since it didn't happen in the game. I know the old toy is there, but I'm personally glad they chose accuracy in most places. The knees, lack of cannon detail, and slightly small size next to Prime are my only nitpicks.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I added silver to the knee spikes of mine and it looks SOOO much better just from doing that. I also added silver to the S shaped details on the insides of his shins so that his upper tank mode would have just a little more color. The last thing I'd like to do is get a brighter purple to make his Tron lines stand out better.

[@CryosisOfficial]

I got him today, he looks a lot better in-hand than he did in the reveal images and overall is a pretty solid figure. However, he does have several noticeable flaws that just makes him feel overall sort of weird. But those knees are truly inexcusable. Yes, I can snip the tabs myself, but I shouldn't have to. Hopefully when they do FoC Megatron, he'll be improved on these first dippings. Particularly in the area of bulk and his Riot Cannon.

[@leonake4194]

the back and size is what kills it for me. megatron should never be a small voyager if he is a voyager at all; only reasson to excuse that would be if it were a pre war megatron or something like miner megatron concept art from transformers prime. the veicle mode i do preffer mainly because the red shoulder sits where it should instead of faux forming like the original did. the cannon is literaly a weapon and many substitutes will be available online, also it didnt really looked that much cooler in game. For the FoC i wouldn’t hold my breath really. the planet x one is pretty much 1to 1 to the game model and despite its flaws it is still pretty god but the fact that it has said flaws makes me think that hasbri will not solve that and achieve a better or comparable result. Only way in wich id beliebe foc megatron will be good is if they first manage a great transformers prime megatron because that is what could be used as a base for foc megatron

This is a good review of what i think is a horrible toy, with no redeeming factors. It's borderline cringeworthy just imo to say this toy is good in some ways.. like the only valid reason to get this is because youre desperate and cant find the original. Everyone is forgetting what the 1st one achieved with its price point of the time vs the absence of anything achieved with this one, it's not proportionate at all. This is hasbro stealing from you if you buy this.

[@faxmuchine]

Outside the knee issues, and the bizarre outcomes of the game accuracy, I wish he was a little larger? I haven't played WFC or seen enough to be an expert here, but he feels a bit too small compared to the other GE figures. Over all, very strange, I'd argue it's like the ROTB mainline Bumblebee when it comes to Megatron toys

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

As TTG said, Megatron scales almost perfectly with the other SS GE figures. He also scales pretty well with the 2010 WFC Starscream. Having played the games, especially the sword duel with Optimus at the end of the second one, the shot at 3:32 shows that they're almost perfectly sized for one another. If he feels small, it's probably because even Siege Megatron is about a head taller than this version. But it feels really solid and chunky in-hand, so I'm not complaining.

[@Andrew7923]

I wish he was lile 3% bigger, so whe would be just barly taller than Prime.

[@Colonel-zg9wz]

He scales pretty good with the other GE figures actually, and tbf, this is a young megatron, so I actually don't find his size too much of an issue, unlike a figure lik OG DOM Megatron-

[@kalb157]

_War For Cybertron_ is pretty much the *one* incarnation where Optimus is bulkier than Megatron, so that’s accurate with this toy.

[@Ranma_Leopard]

[@crossyfirezx9659]

Okay that intro was harder than the rest of them. NOOOICE

[@dinobotslug5422]

Honestly like this figure regardless of its nitpicks and problems. But it does feel like they may be using too much budget for other lines, like what happened w rotb prime's truck bed. like the rotb ss line(good thing) and legacy line (good I guess?)

[@Blackw1ng]

Sucks because I def don't want them to scale down but I've noticed there's been more compromises than usual with the new releases. Like mirage and especially nightbird recently (regardless of licensing). Guess I wouldn't mind if they put a hold on the Gamer editions until they can work things out.

[@dinobotslug5422]

@Blackw1ng Or even slightly less figures from their subIines or even a little less figures from legacy. But I do agree that we can wait for more GE if they put more time and effort into it. Especially because of possible section A figures being leaked, which is again, another subline. Too much budget is being spread out

[@Blackw1ng]

For me, the original toy just looks more appealing overall. This guy feels too skinny, hate the treads kibble on the legs, and I think the head is ugly. Even if the details individually are technically more accurate, the original toy feels more true to the spirit imo.

[@PattiTaylor-m5q]

Thanks so much for this video. Figuring out this transformation was crazy. I’m not a transformer expert, I’m just a Gigi trying to help my grandson. If you had not been so accurate with your talking the transformation through, I’d still be twisting, folding and trying to use tabs that are useless. You’re the best. I can’t wait for him to get home from school, and see that it is transformed. I will earn a bestest Gigi award for this one. Thanks so much.

[@IanFraser420]

I don’t even think it’s the size of the cannon itself, it’s how it’s placed on his arm. The port is right in the middle of the barrel, so it feels short compared to where his hand is. If they move that plug just a half an inch or two down, so it hangs lower, I don’t think it would have looked as bad.

[@Cdr2002]

What we really need is a 5MM compatible version of the deluxe’s fusion cannon. It was a fantastic sculpt that isn’t compatible with anything This figure looks really solid and I definitely want one

[@PulsarPrime]

I wouldn't like it if they made changes to the design like adding treads or a cannon that sits on top. The thing that appeals to people about studio series is accuracy, so I don't care if it can't roll, I don't play with them like a child, I'm happy they didn't take such design liberties. Keep it accurate to the game and no one can complain. Tbh I also have no issues with the arm cannon, it looks more like the FOC trailer version but i don't mind. Megatron used both ultimately. I don't see it as a problem.

[@tehuselessguig3138]

i think the complaints about the size are another "it's accurate, but do we care ?" moment (and also warped expectations) : lots of people wanted a Megatron that wasn't just the Siege one to go with their other figures, and are just disappointed in this one because he looks odd being so small alongside SS38 or 102 among others. then there's also the way some could misinterpret the size because of FOC Megatron being bigger overall, while in WFC he was shorter also, the cannon looks a bit cooler if you turn it around, baltmatrix did it and it was really cool

The problem with the cannon isn't length, but mass. The cannon could probably do with being a tad longer but its main problem is that it just looks too thin and would benefit from being thicker. This is most notable when you try to use it as an arm weapon instead of simply attaching it to his arm (Though from what I remember WfC Megs never uses the Fusion Cannon in this configuration).

[@kevinr6879]

I for one am mixed when it comes to toys being better or worse than their predecessors. Key example, Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus and WFC Ultra Magnus. While I like the size of CW Magnus, I love the classic gimmick in WFC Magnus. But that doesn’t mean I think one is better than the other. They have strengths and weaknesses that I feel balance each other out. I enjoy CW Magnus for his massive size, and WFC for being two toys in one. Also, I agree with you and Vangelus. That definitely sounds like a stability decision. I remember a mainline toy I got that had such weak knees that I had to use a good deal of floor polish to tighten the joints. It would just fall backwards at the knees every time. The floor manager most likely handled an improperly tightened prototype and thought to improve it based on that.

I know that I’m late to this but your Canadian jokes of saying “eh” comes out so naturally and it is hilarious. Who am I am to say, I’m from west coast of Canada. Also I wasn’t at the time when I saw Megatron at my local stores if I should get him or wait until they go down in price because when I saw him in box as I call every toy, “they’re strapped in for surgery” because I have to get them out of the box. I bought wfc starscream at full price because he looked the best. Technically, I’ll buy anything even gunplay so long as there isn’t any plastic fractures and they sand the nibs where they clip off from a runner down before painting it. That is win for me.

[@AliceDevil7490]

Most tanks in the high moon games did the hover treads then switch to roll for speed but yeah megatron is one of the few that didn't in wfc. I think this figure is closer in more ways than the old deluxe but there's still plenty of things that are worse than the older one. The mace not having a proper pole like the recent Optimus sucks, the fusion cannon is a near impossible task to get perfect cuz it isn't the same between the two modes in game. I think they should've based the cannon on the bot mode design instead just cuz robot mode is where this figure does better in the most . I'm not a fan of the dark grey cuz I think that in the first game his base color was so bright, almost white, it stood out against that first games other mostly dark characters and dark world. The opposite happens in the second game where Megatron's new body has dark colors contrasting with Fall of Cybertrons heavy use of chrome looking colors, brighter skies and just more color variety in general
