"How are you gonna be evil AND sad?"

Energon Megatron is one of my favourite Unicron Trilogy toys, really need to track down that massive one at some point

[mfsusanoo]

For anyone that hasn't seen Superlink this guy was a fcking monster. He could regenerate, do the strike freedom beam spam, puts mfs in genjutsu etc.
The build up to his entrance was done masterfully too cause the atmosphere was intense, no music, no name drops, he appears and you know something's seriously wrong. I haven't seen any other tf show that pulls that off other than Prime

[davidstevens]

From what I understand, the reason for the Galvatron-esque (Galvanesque?) look was bc in the Japanese, this was Galvatron. Unlike in the English dubs where Megatron would turn into Galvatron then back into Megatron and then back into Galvatron again. He stayed Megatron throughout Armada even after he got the palette swap, then turned into Galvatron for Energon, and then Cybertron winds up being it's own can of worms

This is how I learned there were 2 sizes of this Megatron.

I always loved Energon Megatron and how he looked like Megatron did literally tear himself out of Unicron's guts and refined the body with what he could.
The shoulder guns are the bare skeleton of his pauldrons, the wings are essentially him taking a chunk of the gutwall with him after it fused to his turret, and the detailing under his arms looks like the clavicle gears he had, implying he couldn't fully re-armor himself. I also adore the fuselage and cockpit looking like he's so full of piss and vinegar he found a way to make his vehicle mode scowl.

[LordGrim]

The tank is his old body, he's using his own carcass as a weapon, battle damaged and all. Always loved the Galvatron tribute of this guy

[noahwadhams]

There's something deeply funny about posting a review of a ressurected Megatron whose design is based on the original resurrected Megatron on Easter.

[shadowscribe]

The alt screams they REALLY wanted to make an off brand x-wing.

[davishayden]

Hey Thew, hate to be "That Guy" but you kind of forgot a gimmick on the old boy. You can actually store the blade part of his weapon in a slot in the nose cone part. That way you have a place to put it when in vehicle mode so it doesn't stick out and have an extra function where you can stick the part where it connects to the tank, press a button on said nose cone when it is the figure's backpack and then draw it like the worlds goofiest Excalibur. The leader class version had "Light And Sound Action!" speaking from personal experience, not sure if the Mega Megs has it thought. Great review nevertheless, just felt the need to point that out.

[SwedishSeacon]

3:23 That is one of the pros about the leader class version since the clear cannons are a separate piece attached to the opaque C-clip piece

[kalron]

I LOVE this Megatron. And I have never watched Energon. There is something about it that is just brash and obtuse but so awesome. Thank you Thew for bring much love <3

[misterbadguy]

You can store the sword in the jet nosecone. You kinda just, shove it into that slot and it locks there. It's meant as a "sword drawing" gimmick, though at his age, it might be risky.

I have to wonder if the idea was for this guy to be toy-colors Galvatron, or if it was just that the decision to make him Megatron rather than Galvatron happened late. The Japanese version just called him Galvatron for the whole run of the show.

[fishpop]

The Energon Megatron's sword stores in the jet nose backpack.
It's what that slot is for and i think the tank can plug into it as a weird sword-drawing gimmick.
Also i recently was gifted the little one by my eldest brother.

[khyronprime]

Everyone's saying "X-Wing" but that is 100% a Gunstar from Last Starfighter

[crimsondynamo]

I’ll always appreciate this mold being used for Shattered Glass Megatron.

[Anton-devu]

From visual vibes alone for me it’s like they all have a different flavour of villainy to them
Like-
Armada megs: low, ominous chuckle or booming evil laugh with folded arms

Energon megs: deranged maniacal screaming during a fight

Cybertron megs: anime intensity and a huge “evil and loving it” vibe, complete with overly dramatic poses

[Junktheguild]

And yet the toy works as a Galvatron toy. As it was designed to be. As well as wearing the Galvatron animation colours well. Shame we never got this toy in G1 Galvatron toy deco.

[DFloyd]

5:45 - Megatron Airlines. "Fly the UNFRIENDLY Skies!"

[THEWLFBY]

Megatron with a crown is honestly badass. More of a Galvatron thing, and thats definitely what the took inspiration from when making it. But still.
