Transformers ehobby Black megatron review. Generation one & micro change color Japanese exclusive 

You are absolutelly right to be very carefully transforming this exact Ehobby version of Megatron because of the gold plastic syndrome. Bought mine a while ago MINT and sealed on ebay for a recently good price and on the same day I got him, one of those little knobs to pull out his fists just broke of. Thanks God I was able to repair the damage invisably by hand drilling a tiny hole with a 0.3mm drill into the two broken parts and glue a 0.3mm steel pin in to connect the two parts permanently together again. But it was a bit of a pain in the a**. Be careful with those knobs on his fists. They brake of instantly.

This thing is absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing and patiently transforming him for us so carefully.

Great video.. no way boring and very educational! Never thought this suffered from gps and your close up shots made it clear… looking forward to my first g1 megs arriving this week so even the transformation was useful so cheers!

I have it since 2014 nothing have ever break and i play with it a lot !!!

I HAD to go back and watch you break that stratosphere figure and I just LOVE how the video just goes from you giving a review on the toy then when it breaks you just promptly put it down and the video just stops....abruptly🤣 Like you were so mad that you just broke it you had to put it down and just scream🤣

I had no clue this guy suffered from GPS! You’re the first I ever heard even mention that for a G1 Megatron mold. I was actually close to getting one mint in box last year but now I can see why they had it secured tight in a collector box! Great video as usual!

MEGAPLEX!!!!!! I want one soooo bad. I Just love the Blue instead of Red we’re more accustomed to. Especially if the Blue was paired with the Chrome parts. Thanks, Russ, for taking the time (and the risk) to open up this rare and expensive version of Megs. I don’t think anyone blames you for taking extra special care when transforming it. Ol’ Megatron is fiddly enough as is to transform. And there’s already enough risk of breakage without having to worry about the plastic possibly being extremely brittle. Again, Thanks for filming this, and for sharing the unboxing with us! Take Care and Stay Safe

Thank you for posting. Was on the market and am glad i got the s16 reissue instead so i wont have to worry about gps which i didnt know was on that version. Educational.

Looks great. Thanks for showing

Riding into Valhalla shiny and chrome

Ive has this figure since release and been transforming him this entire time 😅 no issues at all. . Insane its been fine (though the sword snapped long ago

I just bought this but, I'm not opening it and it's going straight into a case. It'll be the only Transformers I have that'll be put into a case. I've been wanting one for a while now and finally bought it.

Sadly, it used brittle sparkly brown plastic, meaning that attaching his sword or gun in his fists in robot mode, and the stock in Walther P-38 mode will crumble. (sighs) I wish somebody be making the 3d-printed replacements of G1 Megatron's hands and casting them in flat brown plastic...

congratulations russ thats very great amazing awesome review ehobby japanese ultra rare micro change collection toys figurine black megatron decepticons transformers original g1. thank you toys are russ have a great week god bless 🤘🎸

Got this today. From Japan.

Wow! I really love that figure

Oh Stratosphere… around 2009 is correct, Unite Warriors Motormaster in 2015 was the last reported case but it was a gunmetal plastic. Megatron suffering from ‘BPS’ is new, not sure why they recoloured that section to begin with. Looks very reminiscent to Skyquake’s bronze plastic.

I think it’s just this version that has GPS. It’s a later reissue - the problem is in the handle - that brown gold colour. Great video. I was tense watching it.

If Megatron wasn’t easy enough to break before… it’s now much easier for him to crumble!

That swirly gold plastic is jumping off the screen. Otherwise looks mighty sharp though.

Anything but boring Russ lol almost held my breath the entire transformation! Thanks for the video

You have a link to pictures or articles of this breaking? I cant find any post or any people that had theirs break

I don't know why they went with the chrome, rather than the all black of the original. I've been using Armor All protectant on my gold plastic. Not sure if it does anything, but if stops, or even delays the GPS, then it's a few quid well-spent.

You keep mentioning Diaclone where some toys like this one actually came from Microman. Whoops. GPS, probably more like BPS on this figure. :D But still, he does look very impressive. Fortunately the damaged part was easy to put back on, though it's a pity that he couldn't 'get his sorword' (As Philoctetes in Hercules would say) as along with the scope cannon, it would really make him menacing, but it's understandable what with the GPS/BPS and all. BPS = Brown Plastic Syndrome, LOL. Maybe he can be sold as a gun again, but they;ll have to give him very bright colours in places to show people that he is a toy and not a real gun, but who knows? If anything they wouldn't use this colour scheme though as Black Megatron would be too realistic to sell to kids nowadays.

The question is whether this figure even exists and how much it costs

How does he look on your shelf now?

So you wouldn’t recommend buying this figure
