* BrickJoke: Earlier on, TJ does an 'evaluation interview' skit with ''Energon'' Iron Hide. At the end of the review, when mentioning how Megatron nearly killed the Titanium line on the first wave, he mentions that Megatron also nearly killed him at his evaluation interview, resulting in a second skit where TJ falls over in shock after looking at the toy.

* AwesomeYetImpractical: Megatron's diecast parts are one of its biggest problems: being so heavy its own joints can't support their weight, making it impossible to pose in any meaningful way. The legs, the ''heaviest'' part of the toy, are hanging from a pair of thin, open plastic clips, being part of the reason the toy falls apart at the drop of a hat.

* AwesomeYetImpractical: Megatron's diecast parts are one of its biggest problems: being so heavy its own joints can't support their weight, making it impossible to pose in any meaningful way. It also made the toy extremely expensive for its size class, which (combined with being released on one of the strongest years for the Transformers' toyline and thus sharing a shelf with far cheaper ''and'' better toys) nearly killed the Titanium line on its first wave. The legs, the ''heaviest'' part of the toy, are hanging from a pair of thin, open plastic clips, being part of the reason the toy falls apart at the drop of a hat.

* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: Notes that the fact Megatron has a front bumper in tank mode instead of the proper sloped design would make it completely useless.

** Subverted with the blackwash on the toy. He says it's the worst one he's ever seen, but takes it back and points out ''another'' of Titanium's statues, Unicron, had the worst and Megatron is only ''second'' worst in that category.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: At the time of his "Worst 5" arc, in an effort to keep each reveal a surprise, the video title only addressed the figure as "1st Worst" and the icon did not feature cropped stock photo like the regular episodes do. With the release of this episode, the identity of the "2nd Worst" was revealed in the title. Eventually, the identity of the "1st Worst" was also revealed in the video title.

* OverlyLongGag: TJ has previously addressed how fans complain about ''Energon'' Ironhide's exposed head in vehicle mode. In this episode, a (roughly) one-and-a-half minute skit with him "interviewing" Ironhide explains why said toy does not qualify as a ''Plastic Addict'' victim. Once the skit is over:
