I absolutely love this figure. Yes, I've taken him out of the box Quick look at the packaging. It's Generation Selects packaging It's cardboard box with a spray painted Autobot logo Transformers Generation Selects and right there that's how you know it's Megatron Box is really nothing much to write home about Now the G2 Megatron from Generation Selects is a Generation 2 inspired Megatron using the Earthrise Megatron mold And actually they pulled it off really really good I also got this little adapter to go with the figure to really enhance the G2-ishness of the figure To give the Megatron, the G2 Megatron this cannon here up on the shoulder that the original was known for And it really improves the figure But enough of me talking about it and not showing you anything Let's get to the figure itself and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews Now once you get G2 Megatron all opened up and now the packaging you'll see it does come with a sheet of instructions And just like all the modern instructions we've been getting lately these are very well illustrated and very easy to follow He also comes with his fusion cannon, this shield slash tank engine cover and his spear cannon thing Of course in robot mode you take the shield and let's see you attach that right here So you've got this going on so you can peg that onto his arm like so And then of course the fusion cannon goes right there And there you have Megatron all armed and ready for battle And here is G2 Megatron compared to Earthrise As I said earlier the same exact mold only a different color scheme And just look at that color, I love the G2 look And for some odd reason I'm really finding the look of this Megatron so much better than this one It may be because the Siege Megatrons really spoiled me because those were fantastic Megatrons Taking a closer look I mean everything's different, the head sculpt is painted different I love the eyes, the eyes just pop on the G2 compared to Earthrise Man, I love that, I just, I can't really explain it I'm a G1 die hard Megatron fan since the beginning but the colors on this guy absolutely pop Now the one big issue with this G2 Megatron figure is the G2 Megatron toy from the early 90s Had the cannon here on the shoulder Now unfortunately you just can't do it with this Megatron There's no peg up here on the shoulder, the only option you have is here on the arm But that really doesn't work whatsoever Now one thing I did at first was I took this piece right here from Siege Brunt This is the piece that attaches to his cannon accessory and you can actually peg this in right here On that little peg on his back and it lines up really good against the top of his back right there So you can add the fusion cannon just like that so you have that G2 look The only problem is look how far it sticks out here on the back So I mean it works from the front but it's really hard to put him in a shelf because he's got so much back attachment if you will So I went on eBay and found this, this little adapter from JRC Designs And this is actually a really smooth nice looking piece that actually looks like rocket pods It's got an M there on the back for Megatron, some nice ridges there on the side And how this fits, you see that slot right there, that goes in or that tab goes into that slot right there on Megatron's shoulder So you're gonna peg that in and it is a nice tight fit Get that in nice and good, take the cannon, attach that right there on top And there you go, there is G2 Megatron with the shoulder cannon It lines up really good with the back of the figure so you don't have all that extra sticking out And I think that looks amazing and the collar matches really good It's not perfect but it works Now also the Generation 2 Megatron had a pistol So I've got this little Megatron pistol that came with the Centurion drone pack That I'm going to give my Megatron as well or my G2 Megatron And there you go, I think that looks great Also this sword spear cannon thing I didn't show this off on my Earthrise Megatron review because I didn't figure it out But you can take this thing right here and it's got this little peg If you take the fist and run that peg up and under the fist, it fits really good So now you have Megatron with a spear and I dig it, I love the look of this figure I couldn't be happier with this guy, this is awesome Now let's take a look at G2 Megatron in tank mode In tank mode G2 Megatron looks just as glorious as robot mode The coloring really really pops and he gets some extra details too He's got these little dots all over the front, maybe those are missile pods Or how many Autobots he's killed The grenade launchers here on the side are colored and he's got the great G2 Decepticon logo Actually that's on only on the one side, that looks really really awesome I dig it, this thing looks fantastic Really hope Toy Hacks comes out with a decal set for this guy to add more of those gaudy 90s decals He had one right there that said the big stick across the barrel of the gun Which looked great back in the day Now the add-on piece, what's really cool, you can fully transform Megatron And this add-on piece can stay fully attached, it clips right there, it doesn't affect anything Of course he still has the feet hanging off the back, which suck Now let's compare G2 Megatron to Earthrise Megatron And G2 fixed an issue, I have an Earthrise where the heel will not stay put in tank mode And I hate that, really really loose joint on my G Earthrise Megatron Where this one, that one doesn't go anywhere, nice tight joints on this guy And I apologize, I didn't go over articulation in robot mode, but I did in this video And like I said, it's the exact same mold The turret can turn and the barrel doesn't move at all He's got wheels and the turret turns, that's it Now Earthrise, that's a great tank, a very good looking tank mode Aside from the heel that keeps flopping down, love all the damage here along the side Big purple Decepticon logo, but this G2 just kills it for that 90s vibe Now for some quick size comparisons, here is Transformers Generation Select's G2 Megatron With the original G2 Megatron, yeah, he's a biggin' Generation 2 Combat Hero Megatron, and yes, Megatron rules And the Generation Select's G2 Combat Hero Megatron The Transformers Generation Select's G2 Megatron is a fantastic figure I absolutely love the looks of this guy It's amazing how a simple paint job can improve the looks of an existing figure The Earthrise Megatron was alright, I'm a big Megatron fan But that one didn't really do it for me, where this one just nails it I love the looks of this guy, plus the add-on adapter really adds to that G2 look And I absolutely love it But there is one thing that would have made this G2 Megatron perfect And there you have it guys, Transformers Generation Select's G2 Megatron So, does the Transformers Generation Select's G2 Megatron belong in your collection? If you're a G2 fan, absolutely, this is a great repaint of Earthrise Megatron As I said, I prefer this Megatron to the Earthrise version that I have I just think the paint scheme works so much better with this guy And not to mention that little add-on piece, that's just icing on the cake And there is a link to how you can get one in the description of this video I couldn't be happier with this guy, Shane Hi, thank you so much for the gift This one was awesome Now guys, if you enjoyed the video, don't forget to like Don't forget to subscribe and don't forget to click that bell icon To get notified when I upload new reviews Big news, this Friday I'm going to be interviewing Stan Bush live And I think it's nine o'clock, I forgot my own time frame But look on my channel, there is a link for that, it's my next upcoming live show I am so excited to be interviewing an icon from my childhood Also, if you're in any position to help the channel I offer channel memberships and I have a Patreon page Once again guys, this is Patreon Prime, signing out Hula!
