Robosen has Hasbro have partnered again for another really cool Transformers release. I’ve reviewed their Auto-Converting Optimus Prime and Grimlock in the past and those have been amazing to see transform by themselves right in front of your eyes. Now today, Robosen has officially revealed their next Auto-Converting Transformer and it’s Megatron! That’s right, we finally have a Decepticon! Robosen reached out to me and sent me the Megatron early, and so I wanted to share my unboxing and first impressions with you all.
This is one of Robosen’s most advanced Transformers yet, with more tech built in than before, leading to very smooth movements that bring the Transformer to life. Just like prior releases, this can be voice controlled or controlled via an app. The app has built in actions, as well as manual and block-based programming to create your own movements. Pre-orders are available for a special pre-order price of $899 compared to the regular MSRP of $1,199.
As for my impressions, I will say that I personally found the tank mode disappointing because of how slow it can be to respond and how it can often get stuck while pivoting the tank. The transformation itself is fast and fluid, though a little simple for my taste. The robot mode is where Megatron really shines. He looks incredible and has some really fun actions that truly look great. All of Robosen Transformers can be quite expensive, but they are truly a showcase product and Megatron is no exception. Hopefully you enjoy this unboxing and first impressions. Let me know in the comments below what your thoughts are, and if you’d like me to showcase anything else in a future video. Huge thanks again to Robosen for sending me this to share!
