New Galleries: Playstation Optimus Prime, Sega Genesis Megatron and 16-Bit Mega Drive Megatron

Posted by Seibertron Aug 15, 2025 at 9:26am CDT 51,236 views
Seibertron.com just leveled up our gallery game with three new additions to the Console Crossovers category under Takara's Miscellaneous section! These awesome figures mash up classic Transformers characters with some of the most legendary gaming hardware of all time:

PlayStation Optimus Prime
Sega Genesis Megatron
16-Bit Mega Drive Megatron

They might not have come out under the original Device Label or Music Label banners, but they feel like spiritual successors — carrying on that same cool idea of turning Transformers into real-world tech. Just like those Label toys, these console crossovers blend nostalgia for both robots and retro gadgets in a way that is pure fun.

These drop right on the heels of our recent Transformers Collaborative x Sonic the Hedgehog galleries, where Blue Booster and Wingtail brought some high-speed Sega energy into the mix. Together, they show just how far Transformers can go when crossing over into the gaming world.

Big thanks to my brother-in-law v-tron for hooking me up with Sega Genesis Megatron almost 10 years ago. It’s not every day a family member surprises me with a Transformer I don’t already own!

A bit of a tangent, but wasn't there a Soundwave that actually was a real cassette player?

Not Soundwave, but some other bot that never came into Transformers. At least, Soundwave did became a functioning MP3 player with Frenzy and Rumble being a pair of functioning headphones.

If you're talking about the modern figure then that's the Music Label Soundwave, it was an MP3 player.

This surprise me because even in 1985, it was possible to make him transformable. Maybe they wanted to keep him affordable. :-?

Yeah, I have the Music Label sets.
MP3 players doesn't have the same nostalgia as the old style cassette player.
