I have four versions of siege Megatron. I've got the regular retail the Netflix version the 35th anniversary version and the generation two combat hero version I did not need another version of siege Megatron which is what this guy pretty much is it is a remold of siege Megatron So like I said, I wasn't going to pick him up But you know how it is you haven't bought a bot for a while and you're like getting that itch and that itch has to be Scratched and therefore siege Megatron or excuse me Earthrise Megatron is now in my possession. So What the hell I'm a Megatron fan He's a Megatron and here he is. So let's take a quick look at the packaging You've got Megatron here in a robot mode. It's funny. He's packaged looking up. It's like he's stargazing or something Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise on the side. You got some fantastic artwork of Megatron And I think he's in the nemesis because you can see the arc right there on a hologram He's like slamming his fists on the table catch them get them Whatever, I think that's really cool Back in the package you've got Megatron in robot mode in tank mode Side of the box is that Earthrise artwork. So now without further ado, let's get this Megatron open and add him to my shelf of siege Megatron's and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews Now once you get Megatron all open and out of the packaging you'll see he does come with a sheet of instructions And just like all the modern instructions, these are very well illustrated and very easy to follow He also comes with this cannon sword spear thing So he's got that and he also has this blast shield and you can attach the blast shield to the cannon sword spear thing Via this peg right here that will attach in that hole Just have to make sure that the curved area of the shield goes around the cannon So now we have a cannon sword spear shield thing. So yes, we've got This which we'll go over more later Now for this video I decided to make this more of a comparison Instead of an actual review because as I said we've seen this mold before four different times actually we've had it with the original siege Megatron The generation selects combat hero Megatron now this Megatron has the exact same mold It's just a different head sculpt then we had the 35th anniversary Megatron done in animated collars and then the Netflix Megatron All of these Megatrons have the exact same mold like I said except for the G2 Megatron He has a different head sculpt. So what I was originally concerned with with the Earthrise Megatron Am I just getting another version of the siege Megatron? Well, let's find out Now when I first took Earthrise Megatron out of the packaging the figure really surprised me Yes, he may share the same skeletal structure if you will of the siege Megatrons But he has been totally remolded there are a few pieces and parts that are exact duplicates of the siege figure But mostly he's a new mold Now, please keep in mind before I start going over the comparisons that my siege Megatrons have been enhanced Thanks to toy hacks decals. Now, let's bring these guys in for a closer look Now the first thing you're probably noticing is the brand new head sculpt Earthrise Megatron looks more like his generation one cartoon counterpart where siege Megatron more or less has a realistic or comic book appearance the chest is also a lot wider or excuse me a lot longer on Earthrise Megatron than siege and also the torso is Completely different looking a lot more cartoon accurate The arms are exactly the same on both figures except Earthrise Megatron has these pylons right here where siege Megatron has the pylons that can be covered Now that is for tank mode, but Earthrise Megatron does not need those due to the Sword shield thing that will go over after a while. Also, if you look down here on the waist The crotch piece is entirely different the legs the upper legs are the same and The lower legs are completely different Excuse me The feet are also exactly the same now one thing with the feet is the Earthrise Megatron Or excuse me the siege Megatron his feet could actually lock in place Earthrise Megatron Does not there is no Locking mechanism another nice feature of locking is Siege Megatron had this issue with the head flap if the head would go up and down way too easy Earthrise Megatron has fixed that That takes some force to push down and there's added tabs up here at the top that siege did not have That prevents the neck plate From moving up so that is really really cool Now on the back of the figure He's got brand new tread so there's a lot more tread on the back of Earthrise Megatron than siege Megatron I do wish Earthrise Megatron had the ports moved down a little lower Earthrise has these ports Up higher than the siege version And that proves to be a problem if you want to use the sword shield thing and attach to his back it just sets up Way too high Where with Earthrise it goes down a little lower I have this is uh sound waves a little extra gun So I can make Earthrise or excuse me because he's too confused siege Megatron Look like he has the cannon over his shoulder or the gun barrel just like the cartoon Where Earthrise it sits up way too high if that shield or excuse me that Port was a little lower that could come down. I think that would look a lot better so and also yes Earthrise Megatron is very very top heavy. I kind of have to angle the legs Kind of funky to get him to stand up straight without falling over. So here are the two figures back to back And once again by the front and there goes siege Megatron's head again Another thing I want to point out is the difference in the fusion cannons Earthrise Megatron's fusion cannon is a little bit longer Than the siege version also Another completely new mold the earthrise fusion cannon Looks a lot like the generation one fusion cannon. Look at the details there in the center And up on the end. I love that. That is a great generation one throwback Now the accessory I really hate with siege Megatron is this sword shield spear thing This is a terrible accessory It works for what it needs to in tank mode, but as far as a robot weapon This this is pathetic. You've got the siege weapon now, which is also the barrel of the tank And I love how this worked. You flip this around So you had the barrel of the tank that slid in but in robot mode You just transform this like so and you got this awesome looking sword There's no transformation for this thing. This is just one big bulky piece That really doesn't look that good in robot mode It can only attach via the port on his forearm so you can hold it like so for a blade You can rotate it around to give him another Cannon, but I I do not like this. There's no way And that splash shield keeps falling off But there's no way he can really hold it in his hand You know to make it look like a spear. He kind of has a odd angle there because the Peg is on a hinge But it just it doesn't work for me. I think the sword That siege Megatron is much better. I love how that looks Not a fan of the sword shield spear cannon thing But another difference in the earth rise figure that I did discover and I like that I can utilize a piece I got earlier this month The hands are sculpted different If you look at siege Megatron's hands, you've got this little bulky panel right there on top of the fist Where earth rise Megatron it's flat And that's so you can utilize The flail that came with the centurion drone kit and slide that onto his hand if you saw my review of this set earlier I didn't have earth rise Megatron at the time. I had siege And this would not fit in siege Megatron's hand and the reason was That panel on the fist now I still had to sand the handle down in order to get it to fit right But now it slides in there nice and smooth and actually looks Really cool on siege Megatron. So I'll give him the flail And probably put this thing off to the side which goes into the play earlier that I really wish It could attach to his back a lot better. So you got the flail You got the cannon here the fusion cannon So I think earth rise Megatron that's a pretty decent look For a g1 Megatron Now let's take a look at him in tank mode Now transformation into tank mode is exactly the same as the siege version with just a few minor differences Now the big difference is how you attach the turret or the barrel to the tank With siege Megatron you slide the blade of the sword through that gap And attach the barrel with that peg right there in the Megatron's fusion cannon And there you go. There is the siege tank For earth rise you take the sword shield turret thing make sure this little section here is folded up And then the same thing you're going to slide the blade in with this gap And make sure the peg goes into the barrel of the fusion cannon And there you go. So there is Megatron in tank mode or earth rise Megatron in tank mode Now you're going to take the blast shield and the blast shield goes here on the back of the figure Make sure the circle area goes in first and there's a little Slots right here that you just kind of slide this into place Make sure that stays so it's kind of a gap filler to make it look more like a earth style tank Instead of this futuristic looking h tank that siege Megatron is Now big difference as you can see is the tank treads Where siege Megatron kind of had this futuristic looking tank tread with a separation right here Earth rise Megatron the tank treads actually connect together. There's a tab so they snap together So they look like one long cohesive piece and it actually looks Really good. We've got a lot of paint chipping there on the sides Which I would expect with a tank and on the bottom of the treads it looks like mud So that that's pretty cool. I love the details lots of great molded details On the tank, of course, it's got the damn feet that hang off the back that I hate I wish they could have came up with some way to fold those feet in I've got this one here Is a very loose Heel just constantly falling off Another difference is the front of the tank and how this transforms You have earth rise Megatron here great looking front And it just tabs right here to the ends of the treads. You can see Megatron's head peekabooing out there Where earth rise there is an extra hinge So it tabbed in and then looped under like so So You've got that going on right there Both tanks do roll and the turrets do rotate Now you'll see that earth rise Megatron's fusion cannon sticks out a little bit farther Than siege which kind of looks weird And here on the side another mold difference Is earth rise Megatron has the grenade launchers there on the side where earth rise Had nothing So not a bad looking tank I mean I dig it. I think this looks really really cool I wish they could have done something with the feet I wish this section would slide in just a little bit more But I I kind of see what they were going for Maybe if you didn't have that gap right there in the middle But still it looks really really good got the D16 which is a reference to his Japanese release Nice big purple Decepticon logo right there Not a bad looking tank like I said I am not disappointed in this figure at all I was really quite impressed with him. So there you go. There is earth rise Megatron in tank mode Transformers war for Cybertron earth rise Megatron really surprised me As I said I was originally going to skip out on this figure because I figured he was just another siege Megatron I was pleasantly proven wrong. I love how Hasbro took the time to actually Remold a lot of this figure to give him more of a generation one cartoon look That being said I wish there was more added to him So he wasn't so much like siege in his look And transformation if that makes sense because from a distance this guy looks like siege Megatron But all in all I'm happy to have him in my collection And he's really going to look good on my Megatron shelf. So there you go guys transformers war for Cybertron earth rise Megatron So does a transformers war for Cybertron earth rise Megatron belonging your collection? I'm Tor on this one. I am a huge Megatron fan And even though I appreciate all the remolds on this existing siege figure I really feel that they could have done something else with a new Megatron We've seen the tank. We've seen this look though I really appreciate all the generation one throwbacks I was just really love to see a new take on Megatron. So that being said Good figure, but I'd wait to get this guy on clearance 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.
