Alien Attack MACKRON (DOTM Megatron): EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff 

Twist: This video was actually 4 hours long, but 3 hours of it was Emgo screaming and hitting his head against the table

Finally, a figure that accurately captures the on-screen explosion of a transformation sequence. Oof.

Transformers like this one just make me appreciate Unique Toys *that* much more. Complex transformations are cool to an extent, but when I get a Transformer, I want it to actually be user-friendly and *fun* to transform.

Wife “honey we need to talk” Me “let me transform this first”

I think unique toys got the line of Complicated, fun and good looking down perfectly while Alien Atack only knows Complicated and sometimes good looking

By the time he's done transforming, the Deception's empire has been conquered by the Autobots

It's like Alien Attack looked at all the vitriol people threw at Devil Saviour, especially Split for their overthought and overly complex transformation and said "Hold my energon".

If emgo says "as best you can" more than 2-3 times you know it's a pain to transform

I really appreciate that even when sent figures to review, you're not afraid to point out flaws and state your honest opinion.

i feel like i've been becoming less tolerant of hyper complicated bots as i get older. like, they're impressive, but when the transformation is such a pain that the fun factor disappears i'd rather a well done figure of just one mode, or a compromised transformation thats more fun to mess with, despite kibble.

When 80% of an almost hour long review is just the transformation, you know the toy isn’t going to be fun.

You can here the agony in emgo's voice while transforming this

Thank you, you made this cluster of a huge mess of a transformation so much “easier”. Everyone knows that this isn’t fun or easy. But you definitely helped thanks again. P.S I appreciate everything that you do

I just finished transforming him into Alt Mode for the first time, and, I must say, I agree with EVERYTHING Emgo says! Fantasic display piece in either mode, pain-in-the-butt transformaton. However, I sometimes WANT a complicated transformation, because, my goodness, both modes look so good, that the transformation is worth it! I have not yet transformed it back to Robot Mode, so I can't speak to that part of the transformation, but so far I am extremely pleased. I knew what I was getting into after watching this video, which made me want to get it, and I watched the JTI multiple times before attempting to do the transformation, and even had to take a break until the next day to get the tanker fitting together properly, but the end result is just too good! BTW, I would have appreciated the JTI and this video to show the right arm/leg transformations, in particular because the situation of the fingers on the right hand in the cab is important for fitting the head. Also, pushing the metal cage section back and leaving a slight gap with the accessory tanker piece left a slight gap where I dropped the folded up gun, and then covered it with the tarp before wrapping up the chains. Not the most elegant solution, but it gets the job done. Love your videos, EMGO, and always appreciate your careful, detailed JTI and reviews!

Really makes me respect the engineering of DOTM Voyager Megs all the more. Fifth Wheel Thigh Gang represent!

I can't wait to see the Uniqe toys and Newage version of DOTM Megs, it's a shame that AAT's quality isn't good but the paint looks amazing on this guy!

Not gonna lie, I actually fell asleep somewhat while watching you transform this monstrosity. I mean JESUS... That and while I occasionally joke about Bayformers looking like a pile of scrap metal, that's literally what this figure looks like mid transformation - like someone threw a bomb into a tanker truck.

I'm gonna be honest here. That pure thin plastic backbone holding all the hinges throughout his torso makes me extremely nervous. I could see that EASILY breaking.

I saw the length of the video and I knew EMGO was gonna have a good ole time with the transformation.

Thank you Emgo. You were the one who made me realize that fun has no age, and I can be a geek and still get older. I mean all of this. Thank you. P.S. Tell mascot I said hi please.

As soon as I heard the intro, I immediately, in my best Optimus Prime voice, said "Time to find out."

Hello, I like your reviews. Keep doing what your doing 👍

I don't know why, but every time I watch DOTM and I see Megatron scratch at the gaping hole in his head, I can't help but say "Uh-oh, Buckethead's got crabs."

The insane amount of engineering that went into this figure is truly mind-blowing. It is truly amazing to see that robot mode actually turn into that truck mode all while being movie-accurate. What a great figure!

23:17 was a jaw dropping moment for megatron

Kudos to you EmGo for getting us through this one. It looks great. Like that name 'mackron'. Plenty comparisons too, which is good.

I really enjoyed watching this! Megs looks awesome! I knew it was, “One of those” when I saw the time. It’s been a while. I had to make sure I had time to watch this in its entirety. I appreciate the part learning the instructions starts in vehicle mode. Will consider picking this up. Thank you for your efforts on working the transformation. Awesome video EmGo!

I'm putting my money on the New Age Megatron, it looks like the best so far in both modes and might be simpler to transform.

And thus the ALIEN ATTACK MACKRON never transformed again and remained as a robot on EMGO's shelf XD

*sees video runtime* I sense a disturbance in the force.

At a certain point with the transformations on these figures I'd rather have a highly detailed non-transforming version of bot and vehicle.

Emgo, thank you in taking the prep time to get ready for this video. And then, doing everything all over again for this video.

I can appreciate it looks cool, I hope its better compared to El Cid, or does it feel the same? That transformation looks like HELL. Also it looks like they tried too hard to mirror the movie's transformation which has CGI Cheatcodes.

What a transformation...well done. Thanks Emgo.

Wow emgo316 that is a name I randomly remembered this channel exists after not watching him since like 2014 the Nostalgia is hitting hard and nothings changed RESPECT!

Insane transformation, great video!

Thank you for all the hardwork! That was a Nightmare!

That's the best paint work I've seen on a transforming figure. Usually that level of paint is reserved for a statue or non transforming figure.

i wonder how much less of a pain it'd be if you had the option to just split the tanker and cab sections apart. At the very least I feel the torso would be slightly more managable without having the legs flopping around

I will forever respect Emgo (and his patience) for reviewing these figures. I'm just watching the transformation and I'm frustrated.

as someone with unprecedented adhd, this figure is stimulus heaven

Being able to remove limbs would make figures like these a much more pleasant experience, i think (split is a lost cause tho)

Thank goodness it’s the same color as duct tape

I think this is the first time I looked at a figure and audibly went "no *way* that transforms" before seeing you posted a Just Transform It alongside this video.

Damn this guy is longer and harder to transform than the Wei Zang Prime

time for a redo of DUDE WHERES MY COUCH? that or maybe...a long awaited part 2??? i would pee my pants i swear...ive been watching you since i was like 7-8 and im 17 now, youve inspired me to stay a geek and stay proud, thanks emgo!!

This figure is just a cluster truck. I'd like to get it for display as I love this Megatron design. But here's hoping for Unique Toys to hop on making a Mad Maxatron.

I remember watching your video when I was a kid. Damn time sure fly fast

I didn't look at the video length when I clicked, but as soon as I heard you say it's one of 'those' transformations I was like: oof, I gotta come back when I have more free time. I used to not care too much for DotM Megs' design, but the Mad Max Mack Megs has grown on me over time

I’ve been dreading this video cos of what you were saying about it on ur live streams 😂

That is a fantastic looking figure! The details are amazing. Now the transformation is a little grisly, but it's still not as bad as El Cid. Mhm, you know what I speak of. 😗🤫

This was one of those figures were you wish you could just throw it into a wall and pray that it would transform itself, wasn’t it? 😂 I have the Alien Attack Optimus Prime figure myself. Got almost halfway to truck mode before I told myself that this wasn’t going to happen. It doesn’t seam like Alien Attack wants their customers to have fun with their figures at all 😅

Great Review!

"The ghost of Christmas past Meg's!" Lol . With the old tarp&chains deal.

I agree with you Emgo316 doesn't matter how great or good the looks of the Robot Mode and Alt Mode, if the Engineering Sucks well... A bad rating will be best for that Piece....hopefully Unique Toys will do their magic with their version of DOTM megs

Whenever I watch one of 'these' I pretty much always start out going "this isn't *too* bad" but then later on I'm like "yep... I was wrong" Though it does seem to be moderately more user friendly than some Toyworld stuff

It looks great in both modes, but I could feel Emgo's pain. I've seen enough of his videos to know that if there's a slight difference to the 'Heeeeey my peoples' intro, that it's for good reason. There's also the subtle hesitance to move onto the transformation stage, and the exhausted `Jesus... ' when he was done. I mean, I'd still buy it if I could, maybe one day. But should that day come, I'm gonna think back to this video and likely spend some time in thought about it. Thanks for another awesome (however painful) video, mate. ✊🏽

Hi emgo thanks so much for the review

Mascot: Where would be without him? Me: fighting a different villain every other week

Thank-you for this guide! Even though the transformation was complicated, my God does Macron look amazing in both modes, currently my favorite figure hands down, amazing paint and deco, nothing broke, mostly enjoyable transformation. Love this figure and I went with him after Unique Toys released their DOTM Megatron as I don't like how that version looks in vehicle mode. Happy with my decision!

"Are we having fun yet? I'm not" Just be glad you're not one of those stop motion reviewers.

Thanks Emgo for suffering through this transformation so we don't have to!

in a moment, hi look's like a unfrozen lobster on a kitchen table) when you transform him)

You know, I was just about to recommend this one and look at you... Getting the drop on me. Sheesh, that thing makes the devil savior cement truck look easy.

when i first clicked on the video i thought it was just the robot mode, they way that it look their was no way that i could be transformered this was very nice 🔥 🔥

...wooohoh, i'm just watching it to be transformed, i'm alredy exhausted...but to get it screen acurate...hell yeah... ...thanx emgo for that...😂😂😂 ...the details of transforming ia everething thanx emgo...🤘🤘🤘

I've never thought that Michael Bay Will represent the trailer transformers in Dotm Megatron like Ultra Magnus in G1 Series

i used to watch you as a kid you were my childhood feels good to come back to this channel after a few years 🥲

Very good job on that review. There’s another from unique toys r-05 desperado megatron

I was honestly shocked when you were able to transform this

The transformation sequence here is better entertainment than any actual Michael Bay TF movie :D

I think the transformation engineering is somewhat movie accurate. I think they design this thing to also be Transformation accurate.

I work on BMWs for a living. I know German engineering when I see it 😂😂

I think my favorite videos are the ones where you can audibly track Emgo's mental state deteriorating as the transformation continues... Seriously though, the sheer amount of engineering put into some of these "knockoffs" more than justify the steep price tag. (Edit: yeah, pretty bad engineering. But there is a lot of it.)

Your my favorite reviewer by a country mile so if this thing gives a master "Transformer" guy a hard time I wouldn't even open the dang box.

legend says he's still not done with the cab ... :)

Hello emgo always love you man

As I am watching this, I can picture the DOTM Megatron transformation noise and him growling and saying "ALL HAIL MEGATRON!!!"

Its so cool and its so super detailed in whole parts just like in the movie ❤❤❤🖒🖒🖒

The name of this one kinda makes sense because in DOTM, Megatron has the form of a Mack Semi truck

Wow they really pulled the tank off and it looks good

Emgo: "we're gonna be here a while" looks at the timestamp: 10:50 out of 53:48 Me: oh boy...

Poor Emgo sounded just so exhausted at the end of the video

For a nice clean screen accurate look, I don't mind an intricate transformation.

You can probably put some micromasters or minifigures in the seats cuz the top lifts open and it seems like there's enough space to

You can hear him slowly losing his marbles and going through all 7 stages of grief

Wow the review not a long time but the transformation very Long Time!

Spaghetti-tron Admirable patience though emgo!

Emgo: Posts A hour long video Me: Oh boy it's hell time

Absolutely beautiful

"WAVE!, WAAVE!!" "what is it" "THEY GOT MY NAME WRONG!!!!"

Good lord man. This transformation was so long and intricate, it probably required an intermission so you could take a break to regain your sanity.

It's a helluva paint job though. This is probably my favorite movie Megatron vehicle mode.

looks neat.

They say if you stop mid transformation, mackron is as long as your small intestin!

Damn!!! Do you remember when we thought that the transformation of the deformation space Starscream was difficult? Now that transformation seems simple against the transformation of Megatron. 🤣🤣

Nice emgo, long time no see of your videos

The design looks pretty amazing but the transformation looks like they apply some dark magic.

Awesome figure brother. Transformation looks complicated

Just got this guy recently, and it is for a specific type of people. It isn't so much like messing with a transformer as it is putting together a 10,000 piece puzzle. While quite sturdy in either robot or vehicle mode, in mid transformation it is recommended to baby it a bit so as not to break anything. I myself love insanely complex transformations, but I do agree that significant complexity does not always mean it's a good design. Only buy this if you think you have the patience to sit down and transform it somewhat carefully for around an hour. I myself quite like the figure and it's complexity, but it isn't for everyone. It does look pretty awesome though.
