Legacy Megatron and Tasmanian Kid: The Names are Lies 

Superlink, the Japanese version of energon, megatron is. Called galvatron, when he’s made purple he’s called super galvatron. The arm mounted tank is the remains of his armada body reformated into a weapon.

7:50 That’s a Tasmanian Devil, it’s in his name, Tasmania Kid

As someone who owns the original energon leader megatron, the core’s transformation is literally identical to the OG figure, wing swivel and all

My reaction when ripping Tasmanian Kid's scalp is a part of transformation: 💀

I absolutely LOVE core Energon Megs and I can't wait for the Galvatron (and hopefully SG) repaint to come out. This is one of those figures that feels like it was designed for me specifically. I've always wanted an new Energon Megatron figure in the small scale, specifically because I had the McDonald's toy of all things and it was one of my favourites before I very immediately lost it. And the fact this new one has basically all the features as the big one with the posable canons and the tank/sword accessory, this is truly a dream figure for me specifically.

Can't wait for people to mod this into shattered glass Megatron

Both Armada and Energon were made by Takara (and just translated by Hasbro), in Japan there is no "Armada Galvatron" he's Megatron in both color scheme. In Energon there is no "Energon Megatron" he's Galvatron in both color scheme. Hasbro changed it up for trademark purposes, but calling Energon "Megatron" Galvatron is actually correct.

You can add a blast effect part in that scalp of Tasmania Kid and Boom, mind blown 🤯

They could easily retool the figure to have the arm cannon fit over the head, remove the wings and be a legit Galvatron. Then again, make a SG Megatron, Prime, Starscream, Soundwave, etc. Might as well since some of those core class guys are really great. Get your money’s worth from the mould.

I wonder if they'll ever do a package refresh of Tasmania Kid and call it Beast Wars Universe Snarl for the giggles.

The Tasmania Kid gives me hope that they'll do more Japanese show BW characters and release repaints of their mainline counterparts. We could easily get the RID preds that get recolored into Stinkbomb, Nightglider, Spittor, and Cybershark

Ha ha ha, I'm sorry but "blue Galvatron" had me laughing the whole time. :D Fantastic review PerspertiveEnd!! Keep on being amazing.

Im hoping if core Energon Megatron is successful they go on to release other Energon characters, i'd love an updated CHUG of Energon Scorpanok and starscream.

When Kid was first revealed, I knew he had to be my first core class and he didn't disappoint. I love how involved the transformation is for his size and the fact that his beast mode poses way better than Leo Prime is both baffling and hilarious to me. Speaking of posability, his beast mode can look up if you untransform the scalp, though it doesn't look great from the side.

Tasmanian Kid is just the Japanese name for Snarl. Although Tasmanian Kid is obviously named for the tasmanian devil, he's actually a wolverine.

"That's just a tank farting out a sword" is so funny

I've been waiting for you to review these two. They're my current desk toys along with the core class dinobots.

7:50 That is a Tasmanian devil, it's in the name, Tasmanian kid.

Tasmanian Kid is supposed to be a Tasmanian Devil, Perspective

Every single time someone calls Tasmania Kid "Tazmania Kid", "Tasmanian Kid" or god forbid "Tazmanian Kid" my Australian self fucking *weeps.*

Heads up, in case you didn’t know, Hasbro is doing a stream every Thursday of march, starting tommorow

I'm so mad about my Tasmanian kid. I was messing with him in the car when I got him, and his foot was very loose and then went flying off. Never found it

Tasmania Kid in the beast mode looks like he’s seen some terrible, terrible things (EXAMPLE: reading a Five Nights at Freddy’s fan fiction).

Energon was the first transformers related show I ever watched so this little megs is perfect for me

I have tazmania kid and he’s super fun to mess around with in robot mode, even the transformation is fun.

I'm glad I'm not the only who realized the beasty boy was the actual best core of this line.

I feel the face sculpt of snarl suffers just as much from zero color break up. If they'd have painted the teeth at least, then there'd be some geometry for the eye to read into.

I find it funny how I’ve the corse of like three years or so we go from kingdom to being more g1 than beast wars, yet now with legacy we’re getting things like beast wars 2 and energon

The gun is supposed to go on top of Kid’s arm and it’s because that’s how he deploys it in Beast Wars II in combat scenes

I like Blue Galvatron as the spaceship for that little Mandalorian dude with the jet pack from Rice of the Beets Studio Series

Got Snarl off your recommendation. The transformation takes a few times to get used to the clashy bits. But as time goes on, I enjoy it more and more. He's a fantastic desk toy. Pick up, transform, put down, repeat later. Even if the visible faux jaw in beast mode bothers me a bit.

1:48 kind of interesting cause that's the opposite for me. I discovered this character while watching the Beast Wars 2 series and I didn't know he's called Snarl until recently when I was watching Chris McFreely's The Basics on Snarl video. I call him Tasmania Kid cause Snarl didn't exactly appear in much media other than comics and Tasmania Kid being the Cheetor of that team is just my personal definition of the character

Snarl/Tasmanian Kid's alt mode is literally a Tasmanian devil.

I hate to admit it but Energon was my introduction to Transformers. Had a DVD of four episodes including Megs' return and I'm sorry but when this one was up for pre-order i couldn't help myself.

2:23 i dont think i ever want to hear a transformer described as creamy again

Your videos are amazing

off topic but why did I almost hysterically laugh at my computer teacher saying JPEG

april fools video idea: you build a model kit and unleash your worst being into the pain and anguish of building one

I love how for Snarl/TK you can peg the tip of the tail gun into his hand and use it like a cane or walking stick. I have a ton of fun posing that figure.

That animal is a Tasmanian Devil

6:10 He hands you the celery. Do you eat it?

My kingdom galvatron broke damn it

Love that Super Lifeform Transformers aka Beastwars II gets love in 2024. I had to pick up Tasmania Kid. Fun little guy next to my Nemesis Leo Convoy

When the face becomes the feet, something has gone horribly wrong. Probably Wheeljacks doing.

Finally, someone else said it. I've been saying this was Galvatron, but Blue for 20 years and they all thought I was crazy.

Totally agree, tasmania kid became one of my desk transformers, megatron immediately went to the shelf

Blue Galvatron: everything RED should have been

God I love both of these figures. Tasmania Kid/Snarl looks really fun and I’m so glad Energon is finally getting rep in Legcay. Yeah Energon may be the weakest bit of the UT, but it still had some pretty dope designs and I’m glad they’re finally getting new toys in Legacy. Though for Energon Megs a larger figure at say Leader class later down the line would also be nice, especially if it can let the shoulder guns actually hinge down instead of needing to be partsformed to do so.

When I first watched Energon, I literally thought that Megatron was Galvatron, so I was confused as to why they called him Megatron. I also thought the series was connected to the G1 continuity, despite knowing even as a kid that Energon was a continuation of Armada. That’s how confusing this Megatron design was back then.

Anyway as everyone's already said, Tasmania Kid is a Tasmanian devil. Though he's a lot lighter of a brown than a real Tassie devil (since those are normally really dark blackish-brown), at least from what I've seen the few times I saw one on the side of the road.

Tasmanian Kid for the win!

1:11 it’s 0.01% Superlink is my favorite show I love it so much. Even in the dub, I think this Megatron is peak. David Kaye is giving the performance of a century portraying Megatrons dwindling sanity.

I have a weird nostalgia for Energon Megatron, because while I hate Energon, I think the design is good (Even though its OBVIOUSLY Galvatron) and I had the Mc'Donalds toy of this guy, so having him in core class is weirdly nostalgic to that Mc'Donalds toy.

The best part about Energon Megs is that its an Energon rep, but in my opinion only G1 and few Beast Wars characters work in core class. Core class, while desk toys don't really work with certain characters, there are some deluxes and even voyagers that in my opinions are more desk toy that core class. Even Masterpiece Soundwave works better because once you get it down you can do that transformation blindfolded.

Sick, I'm going to both days of tfcon la, it'll be my first transformers convention

I wonder if hasbro release a "gen prime" leader class energon megatron via by using the wfc kingdom galvatron mold and give him a minicon that is his arm mounted sword tank.

2:38 that and “Big Daddy” 💀

I have a feeling the next core class combiner is gonna be energon prime

Now all we need is a rabies spit blast effect for Snarl and it will be complete!

7:50 that’s just a Tasmanian devil it’s in the name the screeching devils of Tasmania

I finally got the beast wars snarl and it’s honestly basically the same as the legacy United figure

Hey you ever think of reviewing dia clones recent new figures at all? They've been making some pretty good stuff nowadays especially with their titan figure which has to honestly be the most best titan class figure I've ever seen yet it's not even a transformer It's super good and the tons or playability with it is amazing. And the other figures too like powered convoy are great too.

Prices of core figures in my neck of the woods kinda suck, but I would like a mini Galvatron figure. I think I'll wait for the purple one to come out instead of double-dipping on the mould. Galvy as a jet is much better than the G1 cannon he turned into. I always thought the cannon mode looked daft, even when I was a kid.

Blue galvatron lookin like a tiny energon toy

I have both of these. Snarl is on my Beast Wars Shelf, Galvatron I'm not sure. he's not in the candy bowl with the other core class so he's either lost un the either or he's already in deep storage

Rock solid

Good morning robot people

Upon reveal I was actually most hyped for the Megatron, and I was pretty easily able to find him in early January. Tasmania Kid, on the other hand, took until YESTERDAY to find! Upon getting both in hand, I fully agree with all PE's points

I watched a few episodes of Beast Wars 2, and Tasmanian Kid will forever be for me the Transformer that pees. How? Why? What? I don’t know.

I just got the Energon core class megatron and I really enjoy it Although A small complaint The knees are loose And the transformation with the legs are a little bit fiddly

I'm not getting core class Energon Universe Megatron, not a fan of the second installment of the Unicron Trilogy. But I'll get Beast Wars 2nd Universe Tasmanian Kid. He looks neato, name's kind of weird. Sound like a name of a sickkick for a superhero or supervillain. Depends on how you spin it. -Looking forward to more of your Transformers Legacy United figures reviews.

We got beast machines cheetor in Colombia instead. It's not out of this world, but it's decent for what it is trying to represent. And looks incredible next to thrilling 30 tankor

Energon megs is a pretty accurate small sized version of himself alt mode is right cannons are right so they did a good job making what he was. I really liked the tazmanian kid as well they did a good job with these two cores.

Energon megatron isn’t bad it’s enjoyable for what it is and might look good next to tidal wave but it’s the wrong colour of tidal wave. Snarl is a very pleasing figure to fiddle with and has a scalping feature

Can’t go, but hope you have fun at la!

Obviously this megatron is gonna be done as energon galvatron and maybe g1 galvatron. But imagine they made the original shattered glass megatron

These look interesting, I’m most likely gonna pick them up( oh yeah btw Tasmanian kid is supposed to be a Tasmanian devil it’s basically the Australian version of a coyote)

The colour's wrong, but I'm fairly certain Tasmanian Kid is supposed to be a Tasmanian devil - a carnivorous marsupial from Australia.

As someone who likes Energon Megatron. Megatron is Galvatron and Galvatron is Megtron. They are the same person. Why he chooses to change his name back and forth in the unicron trilogy, I will never know. but honestly give me a Legacy Galvatron retooled and repainted to Engergon Megatron/Galvatron.

I have never understood why they decided to make Energon the core class. if they had made the Armada Megatron the core class, they could have later made a leader class Megatron/Galvatron who used the core class as the cannon, saving resources to focus on the figure itself. Speaking of this galvatron/Megatron, he's such a mixed bag. As a toy, he was way better than an Energon toy had any right to be. he had pretty good articulation for the time, some really cool auto-morph features, and was canonically still Galvatron, as calling him Megatron was a dubbing mistake/decision in the english dub. As a character, he sort of ruins Energon. He literally brainwashed the interesting plot points out of the characters. Demolisher was still abiding by the truce from the end of Armada, and hesitantly defected back to Megatron. When he is mortally wounded saving Megatron's life, Megatron thanks him by reformatting him, while brainwashing him to remove any of that interesting character conflict. Starscream was the same starscream from Armada, resurrected by Alpha Q(uintesson) but lacking the resources to do it properly, so he was amnesiac and sort of a ghost, able to phase through stuff at times, but other times corporeal. He had a sort of Dinobot II thing going where he clearly acted in a way that his former self would be appalled by, but any interesting ideas for that was wiped, because Megatron mind raped him into being a blindly loyal stooge as well, to the point that when Galvatron falls into the Unicron Singularity, Starscream flies after him. Energon Skorpinok was a spy sent by Alpha Q to infiltrate the Decepticons, and was apparently the rebuilt form of his home planet's most Noble warrior. Lol, can't have that! Immediately brainwashed into being Megatron's footstool.

7:52 I had to replay that a few times to realize that you said "nightmarish" and not "magnarish", if that's even a word....

I understand that Tasmania Kid is a legends figure, but I wish that Hasbro could’ve found a workaround to his open hands, because they limit the poses you can display him in

It’s my opinion that if proportions would have been better, energon would have some of the best designs in transformers. I am looking forward to getting my hands on both of these, hopefully I find them soon

Blue Galvatron is giving Blue Popo vibes lol

Dang, I'm going to the TFcon Toronto

the tasmanian kid can hold the tail gun in his hand heads up and also a question to you, What are you going to be hunting for in TFCon? also bludgeon goooooodddddddddddddddddddd

I love the Energon Megatron mostly due to the original figure, that is a fun and big figure (sucks in the show like almost everyone though). The wing thing works a lot better on the original for the silhouette. The way the shoulders are done is bad admittedly, but he does enough right for me to enjoy it. My personal gripe is the the sword wasn't stuck into the tank with a 3 mil peg like the guns have so you could pull it out and give him the tank on one arm and the sword in the other.

I just hate the fact I didn't call him that in my video. My name will be Energon Galvs

Perspectiveend: Gnashteeth is Megatron (BW) Also Perspectiveend: Blue Galvatron and Snarl (BW) *dies in the inside*

So begins march, the month of tf fanstreams let's see how it pans out. I'm also having delaite in knowing how many comments will be about snarl being a Tasmanian devil (yes the i know the colours aren't accurate to a real one but neither are tarantulas')

Will Sunday be another leaked listing video?

I’m probably the only person in the world who doesn’t actually hate Energon, I kind of like it. Doesn’t mean it’s amazing though. So I’m here for this megatron

Silly but I have gotten a spare TK figure which I plan to paint black with tan accents (and white markings) to resemble a real-world Tasmanian devil

What are your thoughts on the leaked cybertron starscream?

don’t really care about energon megatron but definitely want to get Tasmania Kid when I have the time to, as well with animated optimus and rb chase. 7:48 also he’s a tasmania devil

Snarl's gun is secretly a croissant. 🥐

The best part about the legacy Energon Megatron is having the Original Energon Prime and Wing Saber tower over him. I feel like the design itself didn’t hold them back, they just didn’t want to put that much into him. The arms constantly getting caught on those pegs are what give me that impression. I mean even without them his poseablility still wouldn’t be amazing, but it wouldn’t be gutted like it is now. Hell even though Optimus isn’t exceptional, he still has far better poseability. It doesn’t help that I paid $17 for this figure since Amazon changed its minimum free shipping price from 25 to 35. I still went through Amazon though because Hasbro has been absolutely killing its distribution. This thing could have been so much better, but they seemingly dropped the ball in every way.

I have the Megatron just because I had the original, I paid more for the core one bought the Original for $7 at flea market. My core Megatron's knees keep falling off whenever I transform it. Don't regret my purchase but might not get the repaint unless they fix the leg tolerances.

My favorite of these two is Tasmania kid it in my opinion is really cool

I have to question whose idea it was to make a Tasmanian Devil bright brown and not black like…a Tasmanian devil. Like I know they had a thing about not having toys share colours for shelf sake but I don’t think anyone would be mixing up a Black Tasmania Kid/Snarl/Growler(the Quebecois name and something I think is much better than either) with Optimus Primal. I’m not sure how you can say that Tasmania kid has a great transformation aside from the arms since that and the backpack make up like half the transformation.
