Everyone always questions where Prime's trailer goes when he transforms...yet no one asks where Megatron's stock and silencer go. 🤔

@DoctorOfSpice 16 дней назад

Mass shifting works both ways, I guess. I like to imagine there's a tiny stock stuck to the back of his foot

@chrisvellner3922 15 дней назад

I found images on the internet of the earliest "GUN-ROBO" Megatron. Apparently, there was a black version with a brown handgrip that only included the "photon pistol" and a big sword.

@TheYoungDoctor 16 дней назад

In the UK Megatron didn't get released until 1985 so the commercial had Soundwave as leader (which in some Marvel UK issues he was). Early Marvel UK (specifically issues 9-21) had Megatron (and the others) drawn as toy accurate as did the Ladybird books. I don't have G1 Megatron I'm stuck with having Megatroun.

@MrJamesMoore 16 дней назад

Possibly the best toy ever made!!!!

@franzise3605 16 дней назад

Original G1 Megatron owner here; the Decepticon emblems are pretty much completely faded away and I sadly lost all the accessories aside from the scope in a fire, but otherwise he's in pretty good shape, rub sign still works and everything. I managed to buy a replacement chrome gun at a reasonable price, hoping to get the silencer and stock at some point, but he's a nice display piece as is. And yeah the bot mode is a little weird but that goes for most early G1 figures, they have a charm to them.

@PatriotPrimeReviews 16 дней назад

Good luck on your hunt for the accessories. :)

I remember a schoolkid at my school in 1985 came dressed as an "ASSASSIN" as part of a fancy dress day at said school. His weapon of choice as an Assassin? This very Megatron Toy. He was the most popular kid in school that day.

@the_dark_braga2190 14 дней назад

I might have mentioned this on some FB group before: back in the Summer of '84, I cut out a circle of red plastic from a TechSpecs, drewcross lines on it, and inserted it between scope pieces. It gives you a red sight to aim at your Robot enemies!❤

Fantastic review Patriot Prime. This brings back so many memories. Never had a chance to own one, but I do own the MP-36 Megatron and i love it. I had a buddy when i was a kid who had him. We played alot of cops and robbers with his.

@Prime-collector 15 дней назад

Still have my original Megatron from when I was a kid. He came from k mart in Enid Oklahoma. He’s been repaired in a few places but still 40 years later he sits on my shelf.

@GCJACK83 7 дней назад

G1 Megs' alt mode is the Walther PPK, a .32 cal semi-auto pistol. Two known fictional secret agents use the venerable Walther: James Bond and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. G1 Megs is the U.N.C.L.E version, since Bond never used any of the attachments and used a matte black variant. Interestingly, Takara released a second gun-former in Japan based on the 1911, the favored pistol of The Shadow.

@chrisalan457 16 дней назад

G1 Megatron is my absolute favorite figure of all. My dad got me this when I was 9, he loved it as well and got himself one 😂. I still have it, although not in good shape. I have most of the reissues as well as the Microchange U.N.C.L.E P38 set pre Megatron. Favorite reissue is the Encore version, there is a slight gold hue to his chrome which really shines! The red pellets can fire as well! Justva masterpiece of a toy, thanks for the awesome review Patriot!

@PatriotPrimeReviews 16 дней назад

That's awesome, thanks for watching.

@AidanFarren-Hart 16 дней назад

My Dad got G1 Megatron with his box and accessories for me when I was younger! A lot of happy memories and I still cherish the set to this day! 😊 Also, just to say, Megs can actually hold onto the particle cannon with the holes on the sides of his hands. They also work with the tabs on the end of the chrome gun. 😁

@PatriotPrimeReviews 16 дней назад

I've had Megs for 40 years and NEVER realized that about the holes in his hands. Granted I never used the Cannon or Chrome Gun as a kid.

@TK-yz3wt 15 дней назад

Yes, I still have my G1 Megatron. The barrelooks like it's in a certain anatomical location. It's thd same with G1 Scattershot too. Megatron was so strange looking in robot mode. In pistol mode, he needed one of his minions to fire him off (hehe) since he couldn't finit himself. I can see why modern versions usually give him a tank mode instead. The tank can move and fire plus the cannon becomes the arm cannon.

@im2hastyle 14 дней назад

Man, I just got G1 Prowl that Christmas I think. Always wanted a Jetfire, Optimus, Shockwave, and Megatron that year lol.

@americanmeowth3336 16 дней назад

Great Vid! It's wild to see the old-school early-to-mid 80s toy guns, when they were striving for the highest level of accuracy with diecast metal when they could, according to the price point. Also, love the shout-out to to the wild history of Megatron from Marvel comics; I vividly remember picking up that issue of him blasting Ratchet just so I could figure out what was happening.

@PatriotPrimeReviews 16 дней назад

I always felt sorry for Megatron in MARVEL, they just never used him a lot. Shockwave took over in issue 5, the Dinobots knocked him off a cliff and buried him in the snow for a few issues until he was found by a gangster. He blew himself up on a Spacebridge in #25 only to appear way later in in issue 57. Then he gets blown up again, fuses with Ratchet, and loses his mind. Animated Megs had it so much better. LOL!

Ah, the 80's when times weren't as crazy as now when I can use Megatron and play cops and robbers and the only thing I have to worry about is dropping him and breaking something! Cool review. I have my OG one in it's box (it's opened) and I got the loose TFC Japanese edition with the pellets and mouse pad. Cool stuff.

@dukenukem9770 16 дней назад

Awesome review! It was really cool to see all of the options with the stock and scope parts. Thanks for showcasing that. Foreigners are always confounded by the fact that we can’t have a toy gun, but we can have all the real guns we want here in the states. At this point, it’s cheaper to get custom Megaton coating and engraving done on an actual Walther P38 then it would be to purchase a Megatron toy. His gun mode is amazing! I appreciate the bot mode too, although I would’ve been very disappointed as a kid. I’m glad you have him.

@PatriotPrimeReviews 16 дней назад

Thanks Duke, I appreciate that.

@XMattingly 15 дней назад

Great review, Prime - a few things: 1. This could arguably be considered a “prototype” masterpiece given the unorthodox complexity of the transformation, 2. I’m somewhat surprised he’s never been referred to (as far as I know) as “Uncle Megs” by Transformers collectors. 😏 3. I don’t think it’s a stretch of the imagination to say that Galvatron’s assault craft (the big one) has roughly the same silhouette as Megatron’s chrome blaster.

All us kids in school were let down by him too, it's a strange figure.. compared to the cartoon, but he did grow on us. Miss the 80s quality so much. Awesome Boxes for the figs with Quotes, Full Bio's and stats. Stickers for the bots Plenty of weapons. Die cast Die cast Die Cast!! parts... Real rubber Wheels Clear full color photograph instruction manuals. Fun checklists/posters of the bots to gaze at for hours and dream about for Xmas morning. Amazing times. So thankful I got to live it on day 1. So many short cuts, less bang for the every increasing prices, and just so much cheap looking junk these days. Certainly some good figs come out, but so so often they are just lacking magic.

@raydenlord 16 дней назад

8:20 I don’t know about that. Everybody keeps saying that, but all the details are there. Especially if you look at him side-by-side with the cartoon and comics versions. He looks as much (or more) like his cartoon self than Ratchet & Ironhide, for sure. But even others like Sunstreaker, Brawn, and Windcharger had fairly weird-looking toys compared to how they looked in the show. Megatron is certainly no worse.

The coolest looking transformer EVER on the box art. And the absolute WORST looking transformer ever once you get it out of the box. And he looks so cool in gun mode, too. Better to just leave him that way, put him back in the box, and stick it up on the shelf to display, and show everyone that comes over how cool Transformers used to look, just make sure he stays in the box so they can't get a gander at his robot mode.

@craigcharlesworth1538 16 дней назад

G1 Megatron is such a weird, ugly, Frankenstein's monster of a toy compared to G1 Optimus. It's no wonder that while Prime's general design has stayed consistant for 40 years Megatron has been endlessly messed with.
