Transformers 1992 G2 Electronic MEGATRON [Patreon Special Missions]

[@MichaelMercy]

Super7 Ultimates G2 Megatron is up for pre-order at BBTS: bit.ly/G2Megatron

[@DragonTail49]

I've always considered this, in my head canon, to be Megs' upgrade in response to Powermaster Optimus Prime. Whereas Optimus' enhancements come from an alliance with, and teamwork alongside, another being, Megs' enhancements are all self-centred, selfish and artillery-based. Just feels right to me.

[@MichaelMercy]

I love the idea of Powermaster Megatron having no "filthy organic partner." 😆Megatron shares power with no one!

[@ryanwike2780]

Wasn't G1 Doubledealer suppose to repainted into a Powermaster Megatron?

[@burninghammer83]

SAME!!!!!!!!!

[@blue18404]

​@@ryanwike2780 I thought so too

[@G7M9W]

I have fond memories of this version. Megatron as a tank definitely works, and it would be great to see this re-released in a few different color schemes: classic Megatron silver, black, and red; woodland camo; desert camo; and black.

[@roberth.9664]

This is a version of Megatron that I'm shocked has never had a proper modern version. We had the Universe Deluxe and a Legends that were inspired by this, but they were still their own things and now we're just getting G1 Megatron in the G2 colors. You'd think this would be coming soon with us having gotten new versions of Laser Prime and Jhiaxus recently, but they decide that the green tank we needed to see return was Armada Megatron and the eventual Galvatron repaint he will get one day. And if we could only get one of the green Megs back I say they picked the right one. Even if the G2 is as great as it is.

[@BobHansenJokes]

Tremendous! I enjoy that green and purple camo on Megs.

[@MichaelMercy]

That's one vote for 90s neon! 😁

[@RodimusPrime1982]

I had this, I got him Christmas 92, and it was so cool. I wish I still had this today.

[@XenoJehuty84]

Same, I missed out on G1 Megs so this was glorious

Hi Micheal,Great video about Transformers 1992 G2 Electronic MEGATRON( Patreon Special Missions) Keep them coming Also your latest video was outstanding, Also I've always considered this, in my head canon, to be Megs upgrade in response to Powermaster Optimus Prime. Whereas Optimus enchanments come from an alliance with, and teamwork alongside Hiq, another being Megs' enchanments are all self-centered, selfish and artillery-based. In my opinion it just feels right to me. And I also agree with you Micheal i too love the idea of Powermaster Megatron having no " fifthly organic partner" Megatron shares power with one :_Decepticon: Tremendous! I too enjoy that green and purple cameo on Megs Wow, he fits perfectly next to that Powermaster Optimus Prime,i think i too finally understand the love for this toy now, packed with loads of sounds and play features, would have been great to have this back in the day! Also i too agree with you Micheal a friend of yours calls Megatron Powermaster Megatron. And he still has no human or Nebulan partner because Megatron shares power with one.🙂 Also That " History of Megatron" 4 years ago is still a winner today as well Mike! I always catch something new i miss every different time i watch it Good Job Mike and keep up the incredible work. Also Another wonderful but spectacular review Micheal. Also at the end of the video, when you rolled Megatron out, I almost expected megatron to say" Megatron attack" Also Superb video! This may be an unpopular opinion, but i too prefer this Megatron to the original. The tank mode makes so much more sense to me. Colors could've been silver,black and red.Also Lots of love for G2 Meggs. Also if you put him beside Laser Optimus Prime They both look incredible together, Also That was an awesome Tank. I too love the sound effects But The Transformers G2 1992 Electronic Talking Megatron figure was Spectacular,Also thank you for sharing Micheal all i can say is: keep up the good work stay safe out there in Canada, have a goodnight, and until next time: TILL ALL ARE FUN and Nerdmaste.🙂💪💚🇺🇲😃🟢🇨🇦🦸12:35 am.

[@davidanderson4748]

You missed a step my friend! The shoulders slide forward in robot mode. G2 was an interesting time. We went from neon repaints to the most highly articulated figures of the line to that point. This Megatron design was awesome and deserves a true modern upgrade.

[@mkhanman12345]

i love beast wars and trasnformers

[@ultramanz4006]

No tank YOU for the video! EDIT: I am Ryan Archuleta proud YOTG MP-10 Optimus Prime owner

[@robonintendo]

I bought this MISB earlier this year. I could have had it graded, but NO, I had to open it and put it on display. The plastic is brittle so the left foot won't go down all the way, and the elbows won't bend. Still, I have zero regrets. Awesome figure all around.

[@jignat]

Great review! This was my first Megatron toy and I used to have him as Powermaster Op's rival! I could swear that there was an additional sound when the "locking" button was pulled back though.

[@vmv81]

This was my first Megatron and Powermaster Prime was my first Optimus, they worked so well together when I played with them.

[@Nightshade794]

Got this for Christmas that year. And still have in my collection.

[@destrondesigns]

Wow, he fits perfectly next to that Powermaster Optimus! I think I finally understand the love for this toy now, packed with loads of sounds and play features, would have been great to have this back in the day!

[@MichaelMercy]

A friend of mine calls him Powermaster Megatron. And he has no human or Nebulan partner because Megatron shares power with no one. 😁

[@schmidington]

Those G.I. Joe comics re-introducing and incorporating Transformers into the Marvel universe were well done and fun reads. Megatron was resentful for having to rely on human help in order to survive, but he was humbled a bit by the technological ingenuity and design used in his new body. C.O.B.R.A. and the 'cons working alongside each other always seemed to be congruent, especially where Destro's planning was involved. It's a good thing for Mr. Welker that they didn't produce an animated version of those stories. He would have been overworked for sure.

[@suviajerofavorito]

Thanks for bringing my childhood back, it was so nice to find your video.

[@deadartist8827]

That Christmas I got G2 Optimus Prime and G2 Slag. Never thought to ask for Megatron too.

[@GabeReal9009]

I still remember my younger Step Brother having G-2 Megs. Loved the tank mold, sounds and robot mode but couldn't stand the color scheme. Would've looked so much cooler being Grey with Black camo.

[@MichaelMercy]

The OD green and grey camo from the G2 comic would have been great.

[@GabeReal9009]

@@MichaelMercy or the old school OD Green with tan and brown camo too.

[@hackusprime]

Still have my original from childhood. Don't forget to push his shoulder forward in robot mode!

[@bobahicks]

I love G2 Megatron. Love this video too! 😃

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@teddyfreddie4739]

That "History of Megatron" 4 years ago is still a winner today as well Mike!! I always catch something new I miss every different time I watch it....Good Job dude

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@maverick7291]

At the end of the video, when you rolled Megatron out, I almost expected megatron to say "Megatron attack" 😂

[@nathanbarger3449]

I had read where the G1 Megatron was the only one that turned into a gun. Because there were horrible accidents happen . Some kids got shot by the police for pointing the gun mode Megatron at them. And he was used to rob stores too in gun mode. So after that he never had a gun mode again.

[@justingoguen2397]

Great review. Something I only learned about later on handling this figure is his shoulders do slide forward.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! He's filled with all sorts of surprises, isn't he?

[@Gregory_ferrandis]

Fun fact:this toy was re-used for a new character in the Japanese exclusive series beast wars 2 was the character named megastorm

[@filmandpage1138]

This was a good one. That was the one figure I was really tempted to pick up back in the day when G2 was on the shelves. I thought he looked pretty cool, and I didn't mind the colour scheme. One thing though that I missed in the marvel comics run was how Galvatron got changed back into Megatron? I'd love to see a Furai model kit of Generation two Megatron. Since the IDW version of Megatron turned out so cool looking.

[@MichaelMercy]

He didn't really change back. The Galvatron in the Marvel comics was a time traveller. It was a pretty cool moment when they meet each other.

[@filmandpage1138]

Ahh, yes I forget the comics have their own continuity separate from the TV show.@@MichaelMercy

[@ecmagee1984]

I still wanting for a 3rd part version of G2 megatron 😢

[@jonathanulrich4905]

Couldn’t afford this guy when he came out. Finally found him in a flea market couple years ago. Nice review

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@Evaunit98]

The Warlord of weight, the master of mass, the dayglow dictator, the big chungus that puts Grandus to shame, good old G2 Megs

[@IM-xs3uv]

Never had an issue with Meg's alt mode being changed to a tank...but that colour scheme 😥

[@MichaelMercy]

Welcome to the 90s. 😆

[@DasNordlicht91]

If the green camo was in darker colors, it’d look cool.

[@audiebavington8789]

Another wonderful review Michael. I've never owned this Megs and never really wanted to until this review!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@RobbieConger-fl5yy]

Oh thank you my dad gave this to me it was a friends a needed to know how to transform it

[@farminglittlepeople9623]

I have to admit I use to think 90’s toys were junk! Maybe because at the time I was too old for them. Now looking back and having got into Beasts Wars I have realized I was wrong! These toys were amazing and yes I LOVE those wacky colors!😁 Adam Hurt was right! When he found out I was collecting some G2 Transformers he said I needed this one! Well I agree! He is now on my Want List! Thanks Mike for always doing a fantastic job on these reviews!🙏😁

[@ChuckWCoulter]

Here's to the colors!

[@1966oldsguy]

I was old enough that when the G2s were released I had some money myself so I would buy them as I could afford. I’ve always loved the wild colors. I’ve still got about 30 G2s, with a complete and working Optimus prime. I did lose starscreams backpack though

[@Goobatheman-f7z]

I wish they still make transformers like these

[@OldManTheseDays]

Awesome video! This may be an unpopular opinion, but I prefer this Megatron to the original. The tank mode makes so much more sense to me. Colors could’ve been sliver, black and red and I wouldn’t have complained, tho.

[@MichaelMercy]

Absolutely! They couldn't have picked a more appropriate alt mode for him. Check out this custom using his G1 colours: static.seibertron.com/images/toys/uploads/1543451167-g1-g2-tank-megatron-box.jpg

[@HoovraCommander]

I always wanted this one, but I was in high school when it was released, and spending all my money on comics at the time. But a few years later, I worked out a big trade to get it and a bunch of other stuff-- but had to trade my Fort Max in the deal. And then immediately after getting it, my local KB got a whole slew of green tank Megatrons on clearance... bad timing.

[@SwivelAxl]

If I ever get this guy, he’s gonna get a lot of crossover playtime with the Joe’s.

[@tristanwilliams4180]

if you put him beside Laser Optimus Prime They Looks incredible Together

[@_The_Worst_]

I actually quite like his colors...🤘🏼💯✔️

[@Rodsuper]

Yesss the G2 Megatron Tank mode as guns not allowed for toys. Loved the spring actions and both modes.

[@denozed6554]

[@p.a.u.l.555]

Omg I forgot about this hidden gem Michael, oh my, thank you Michael for this video, have a great weekend from here in UK... nerdmaste 😊

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@RedSiegfried]

I used to always be really annoyed that the oh so concerned child safety brigade felt they had to BAN Megatron by taking away his gun mode. But TBH, what is a tank but a big gun on wheels? And it makes a lot more sense for a giant robot to transform into a huge tank instead of a small handgun. So I've come around and I actually kinda wish Megatron had ALWAYS been a tank from the beginning.

[@MichaelMercy]

Not as many kids being mistakenly shot by cops for waving around a miniaure toy tank instead of a realistic looking chrome Walther P38 I guess. But yeah, a tank alt mode from the beginning would have made more sense for his character.

[@williamwilkinson8289]

Did you notice on Megatron’s waiste their are 2 faces looking inward

[@MichaelMercy]

It was the 90s. Same thing happened to GI Joe colours by that point. 🤷

[@douglasbrownell2704]

@@MichaelMercy yeah, I know. Please don't remind me. What drew me to the GI Joe toy line in the 80s was the realism it had. I understand that the Cobra Vehicles could be more far-fetched and more sci fi like, but when both side started one brightly colored and unrealistic, I started losing interest. Back when I was collecting the GI Joe toys in the nineties I was only like 104 pieces short of having everything up to that point. Got out in 1994.
