 Hey, what's going on guys? Patriot Prime here once again with another exclusive Transformers review. So Hasbro Toy Shop returned last month like a Phoenix rising from the ashes or a Galvatron rising from a Megatron. And it is now known as Hasbro Pulse. And I for one am excited to see that it making a comeback. Hasbro Pulse, when it first popped up, you had all the pre-orders for the new Siege Line. You had 999 Deluxes, which I jumped on quite a few of those. And if you made a purchase from them up until February 25th, you were included in their Transformers premium program, which gave you free shipping for a year, access to exclusive figures, and some other things they really haven't announced yet. It's supposed to be a $50 a year membership, but as I said, if you place an order with them up until the 25th, you supposedly got it for free. So I made a bunch of pre-orders and finally got myself a Siege Ultra Magnus for retail prices. They're doing retail, which is great because as I've said in many of my videos, I only have Walmart Dollar General, as you saw in my last video, and Amazon. And unfortunately, a lot of the online retailers are dealing with scalpers. I mean, I've been seeing Ultra Magnus for 70 plus for weeks. So with the opportunity to finally grab him retail price, I jumped all over it. So the 26th rolled around. I checked my account and yes, I was a premium member. And one of the figures I have been looking at to buy, but I was really up in the air about, was there War for Cybertron Generations Selects, which is their exclusive figures, Combat Hero Megatron. I wanted this guy because I am a Megatron fan. I have a lot of Megatrons over there on my shelf, but I just, I didn't really like the colors until I really started researching the figure and come to find out that this Megatron is a homage to a 1995 Megatron that never saw a release date. He was actually molded after the Generation 2 Combat Hero Megatron that was a purple and black Nerf, Nerf missile firing Megatron. I'll show you in the review later. So it was really cool. So I started looking at some of the other videos of the figure of other fans who bought him. Notice that even though he had some ugly collars, he had a brand new head sculpt. So I took advantage of my premium membership, popped this Megatron into my cart to purchase at retail price $29.99 and got him here in the mail. So let's crack this exclusive figure open and see if he was worth the wait and worth me dealing with his ugly collar scheme. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. So I put a poll up on my channel last week asking you the viewers if you would rather see me go over the box to a figure or just get straight to the robot inside. Out of 112 votes, 72% of you want to see the box. So here we go guys, here is the box for the Hasbro Pulse Exclusive Generation Selects Combat Megatron. It is a basic cardboard box, though it does have this really cool graffiti on it. You got an Autobot logo right here. That actually wraps around the side. So that's really neat. Though I do wish they had a Decepticon logo instead of the Autobot one right here. I have no idea what that says. So if anybody can enlighten me, please fill that comment section up. Then we have Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy, Hasbro, Transformers on the top, on the bottom, there's your Combat Megatron, Takara Tomy Generations, the sides, there we are, warnings and words. The back has nothing. So that is it for the box. Now once you open him up, you need to turn him up this way, and let me adjust my camera. Now as we open up Megatron from the box, you will see that the inside of the box has a lot more detail than the outside. I love the, I guess those are Cybertron Hieroglyphics. But there you have Megatron in a nice plastic tray. He's locked in really good. He's got the little plastic tie-downs. You take Megatron out and there is the instructions. And these are the exact same instructions for Siege Megatron. Other than you have the War for Cybertron Generations, select zero one down there for the exclusive figure. So now let's get Megatron out of this plastic tray and take a closer look at him. First we'll take a look at Combat Megatron in Tank Mode. And he is the exact same mold as Siege Megatron. Granted he has those wild-looking colors. Keep in mind that my Siege Megatron has the Toyhacks Upgrade set applied. And if you'd like to see that review, check out the link above. Now let's discuss those colors. And they are very 1990s. And the spinning image of the 1995 G2 Megatron that was never released. He has green Tiger Stripes all the way around on this brownish looking collar. The gun is now green with some red highlights. And I really love the red on the inside. He does like a few of the details the original Megatron had, such as the painted lights right there that I'll show you real quick that the original Megatron had. Another throwback that this tank has is right here on top the G2 Decepticon logo with MGTN95, Megatron 95, which is another throwback to the 95 Toy. Another quick comparison we'll do is take the Combat Megatron and compare him to his G2 counterpart that was originally supposed to have the Tiger Stripe detail. As I said before, this tank had kind of a Nerf gun feature. You took these missiles, slid them over the barrel, and when you press the ballast right here on the back, of course I can't get, you do have to take this off to actually get it to work, it will fire. Too cool. So that's pretty much it for Combat Megatron in Tank Mode. I'm not going to go into full details. I went over that before with my Siege Megatron review. If you want to check that out, click this link above. So now let's take a look at Combat Megatron in Robot Mode. Robot Mode is where Combat Megatron really shines. All those collars carry over so well from his vehicle mode. And yes, though at first they may seem a little bit off-putting, I want you to compare them to the G2 Unreleased Combat Megatron. I mean that's almost spot on. The white helmet, the black face, the Megatron name tag there on the chest, the MGT-N95 on the shoulders that the unreleased version had on both shoulders. But taking a look at that and comparing it to the new figure, I absolutely love the callbacks. Now let's compare Combat Megatron to the original Siege version. The Combat Megatron mold has improved a couple of things next to his Siege counterpart. For example, the original Megatron had this problem with his noggin. His head kept dropping into his chest. There's no catch and that proved to be a little bit annoying. Combat Megatron does not have this problem. They have fixed something that keeps the head from dropping down. It does droop just a little bit, but nothing compared to the Siege version. Another thing they fixed was his ankle tilt. Now he still has that loose ankle tilt, but mine snaps back into place really easy. With my original Siege Megatron, once I got that ankle out of place, I cannot, for the life of me, get it back in unless I take the foot off, snap it back into place that way, then reattach it. So that is another thing I'm really glad they fixed and approved on. Now we're going to go over the real reason I finally broke down and bought this figure. Combat Megatron has a brand new head sculpt compared to the Siege Megatron. In a lot of the promotional images, I never noticed this. It wasn't until I saw a few reviews on YouTube that really pointed it out. As you can see, the Combat Megatron has more of the IDW Origins Megatron look while the Siege line has the Generation 1 head sculpt. I love this. My only complaint with the head sculpt, I wish the face wasn't so black, but it does fully represent the 1995 version. I couldn't be happier with Hasbro Pulse's exclusive G2 Combat Megatron. I enjoy this figure a lot more than I originally thought I would. As I said, he looked ugly at first, I wasn't going to get him, but I do not regret my decision at all. He's a fantastic homage to a figure that never was, and thanks to all his different accessory ports, I can actually make him look like a Generation 2 Megatron with the cannon on his shoulder and giving him a rifle with double bayonets. So there you have it guys. That is my look at the Hasbro Pulse exclusive Generation Selects Combat Megatron. So should you add the Hasbro Pulse Generation Selects Combat Hero Megatron to your collection? Why not? It is awesome to have a piece of Transformers history at an affordable price. That is available as I'm looking right now online. And what I like about it too is the box even though it's not a great looking display piece, the plastic inserts, even though I've taken Megatron out, he clips back in very very securely. I mean there's no worry whatsoever of his accessories falling out, his weapons falling out, or him falling out. So that's a cool little bonus for you guys who like to keep him in the box, display him in the box. So yeah, pick him up. I've got a link in my description. You won't be disappointed.
