[[Image:IronhideWFCArt.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"And that's the bottom line, 'cause Ironhide said so."]]

'''Ironhide''' is a battle hardened veteran, one of the toughest amongst the Autobots. As one of [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus']] oldest and closest friends, Ironhide saw the great potential within Optimus to be more than what he allowed himself to be.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus: The History of the War for Cybertron''===
Ironhide first met Optimus Prime during the prolonged stalemate at [[Praxus]]. Furious at the loss of his home, Ironhide joined the Autobots despite his cynicism regarding Optimus's leadership. It was at Praxus that Optimus was first showed a preference to stand and fight rather than make strategic withdrawals, and Ironhide slowly but surely began to trust in Optimus. [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] commented that Ironhide's "pitiless edge" gave the Autobots a necessary advantage in defeating [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]].

When Megatron invaded [[Teletraan-1]] to steal the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], Ironhide made an uncharacteristically emotional display of anguish when [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]'s Seekers shot down [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]], who attempted to ferry the Chamber to safety. As [[Decepticon]]s attempted to claim the Chamber, Ironhide fought one but fell into the crater caused by Omega's impact. He defeated two more who jumped after him, and Optimus lifted him out of the pit, but he fell in again when another Decepticon struck him in the face with a hooked chain. Megatron blasted Optimus, causing him to fall on top of Ironhide, but he ordered his commander to ignore him and stop Megatron.

After the battle, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] welded Ironhide's face back together. When Optimus proposed leaving Cybertron on the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'', Ironhide boarded the ''[[Eight Track]]'' with him to distract the Decepticons. Realizing Megatron had a beam aboard ''[[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]]'' Station, Ironhide and the Autobots boarded the ship and blew up its [[Dark Energon]] Facility, causing it to crash. He then boarded the completed ''Ark'' and escaped Cybertron through the last [[space bridge]] to the [[Milky Way]]. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}

===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Keith Szarabajka]] (English), [[Pietro Ubaldi]] (Italian)

Ironhide led a squad of Autobots to defend the [[Decagon]] during the [[Decepticon]] invasion of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]. With the loss of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], Ironhide's old friend Optimus was forced to take command of the Autobots, an act that the old soldier approved, as he was glad that Optimus was finally stepping up to take his rightful place in the Autobot hierarchy. After helping Optimus and his team by clearing a path for them to the Decagon (and taking down two [[Brute (WFC)|Brute]]s, tearing one in half), he continued to lead the others to (successfully) push the Decepticons into retreat.

After Optimus became Optimus '''''[[Prime (rank)|Prime]]''''', Ironhide and [[Warpath (Prime)|Warpath]] joined him on the mission to clear the core of Cybertron that was infected with [[Dark Energon]]. Ironhide constantly rebuked the young, agressive Warpath's shoot-first attitude. Heading to the [[Omega Gate]], the three Autobots found [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] being tortured with Dark Energon. Freeing the massive Autobot, Ironhide joined Optimus and Warpath in protecting [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] long enough to repair Omega to the open the Gate. Heading underground, the three Autobots found [[space slug]]s working to clear the Dark Energon crystals. When they were sealed off in a cavern, another slug came in and killed an attacking Decepticon, to which the old, knowledgable Ironhide offered the [[universal greeting]], but the slug simply ignored them and moved on with its task. The three Autobots then found a trio of slugs with [[Ion Displacer]] turrets on their backs, and provided cover fire for the slugs as they made their way through Cybertron. Unfortunately, a [[corrupted space slug]] attacked the trio, knocking them underground and killing the slugs. Regrouping at the core, they were attacked by the corrupted slug, and managed to defeat it. Unfortunately, the Dark Energon corrupted the [[Primus|Core]], which could only purge the corruption by shutting down all systems, leaving Cybertron uninhabitable and forcing the Transformers to leave Cybertron. Before departing, Ironhide and Warpath witnessed Optimus receive a part of the Core's essence, the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

As the evacuation went underway, Megatron used his orbital station to attacking fleeing transports. A group of [[Aerialbot (Prime)|Aerialbots]] under [[Silverbolt (Prime)|Silverbolt]] managed to shut down the stations's cannon, only to learn that the station itself was a Cybertronian named [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]]. Ironhide joined Optimus and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] in finishing off the monster. Though many Autobots managed to escape, a number of them, Ironhide included, stayed behind to fight against Megatron's schemes. Optimus commissioned the building of a new starship, the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'', to take the Autobots from Cybertron, [[Earth|wherever they may go]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

:''Trypticon is an orbital space station in [[Decepticon]] hands from the [[Transformers: Prime]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:WfC-IGN-Trypticon.jpg|thumb|300px|Yes, there was a grammatically incorrect caption involving firing my laser. Why do you ask?]]
Serving as a waypoint between the bases on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s moons, '''''Trypticon Station''''' was captured by the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s early in the war, and ultimately held by the Decepticons once [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] had fully recruited the aerial forces that occupied it. Subsequently [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] performed extensive upgrades to the station, including granting it an array of [[spark]]s, and guided it to sentience as the Decepticon '''Trypticon'''. In pursuit of the escaping [[Autobot]]s, Shockwave's final upgrade to Trypticon was revealed, its ability to transform into the interstellar warship known as the '''''Nemesis'''''.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron''===
Prior to the war, ''Trypticon Station'' was used for research that could not be conducted planetside, including the first forays into sequestering the [[Dark Energon]] that had resulted from [[Unicron]]'s attack on the planet. Its security was seen to by the Seeker caste, which allowed [[Air Commander]] [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] knowledge of its secrets. As a result, he ordered his forces to occupy it after the capture of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime]], as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Megatron and his growing Decepticon army.

During one of Starscream's absences, Megatron decided he tired of negotiations and took ''Trypticon Station'' by force. Upon Starscream's return to the station, Megatron pressed the Seeker and ultimately gained access to the facility's research on Dark Energon. However as the supplies of the substance from the initial harvest were slender, he required the means to transfer large quantities of [[energon (fuel)|energon]] to the station so that they could be converted into the rarer resource. As Trypticon Station was configured to receive fuel from the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] in [[Crystal City]], the Decepticons were able to transfer an initial supply, but not nearly enough for the ravenous rate at which they were consuming Dark Energon. This was eventually remedied by Megatron's capture of the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], which provided a nearly unlimited source of fuel directly from Cybertron's core.

After a team led by [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] ventured into the planet's core to cut off the transfer, Megatron decided to switch tactics. Allowing Shockwave to apply the experimental knowledge he had gleaned over the course of the war, Trypticon was granted life and sentience, including the ability to shape its corridors into a dizzying array of defense drones and [[Mini-Con|Minicon]]s.

Ultimately a team of Autobots aboard the ''[[Eight Track]]'' found a gap in the station's external defenses, and managed to venture within and knock the behemoth from orbit. Victory was brief however, as Trypticon revealed a robot form and crawled from the wreckage planetside. Though initially the [[Wrecker]]s and [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] were tasked with keeping the gargantuan Decepticon away from the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'' launch, this proved to be in vain as Megatron boarded Trypticon along with a hand-picked crew of the Decepticon elite. Transforming into a ''Nemesis''-class battleship, Trypticon pursued the ''Ark'' to, and subsequently through, the last remaining functional [[space bridge]] in Cybertronian orbit. As the ''Ark'' emerged in unknown space, the ''Nemesis'' was nowhere within sensor range. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron|Exodus}}

:''Voice actor:'' [[Fred Tatasciore]] (English)
After Optimus Prime learned of the coming Great Shutdown, he ordered an evacuation of all Autobots. Everything was going fine until Megatron started using his space station to blow up the ships. Optimus sent Jetire, Air Raid, & Silverbolt to destroy it. Flooding the station with coolant while under heavy fire, they were about to blow it up... when the station started talking. They realized that the station was a cybertronian. The fliers used his transformation cog to make him change form. Unfortunatley, his robot mode was a gigantic metal dinosaur. Jetire destroyed his jetpack, and he plummeted to the planet below. Optimus' team took it from there. He, Ironhide, and Bumblebee battled the titan, destroying his weapon's systems. After heavy damage, Trypticon lost his balance, and fell into an energon lake below.

Megatron (Armada)/toys

2010-07-12T13:34:54Z

173.64.194.160: /* Trivia */

'''[[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s power is your doom! As are his many, many toys.

==Toys==
===Armada===
*'''Megatron with Leader-1''' (Ultra, 2002/2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-01'''
**''Accessories:'' 1 main cannon missile, 2 missile launcher missiles

[[Image:Armada Megatron toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|G2 Megatron gets pimped.]]
: ''Armada'' Megatron transforms into a green and purple Cybertronic tank. His turret is able to rotate freely and pivot the main cannon up and down (which can also fire a pressure-launched missile with the accompaniment of an electronic "explosion" sound effect). One of the most-[[Mini-Con]] play pattern-intensive toys in the ''Armada'' line, Megatron has many gimmicks and features designed to exploit Mini-Con collectability. Plugging a Mini-Con onto the Powerlinx Mini-Con port in the L-shaped trench, then pulling back down the length of the trench and locking it in will flip up a double missile launcher on the opposite side of the turret, with two spring-loaded missiles ready to fire. The launcher flips up over a small black switch which, when pressed, activates a "launching" sound-effect; the idea is that when you press the buttons to fire the missiles, the whole launcher will move down a millimeter or two, and trip the switch. Depending on the alignment of the gears in your Megatron, though, the launcher is just as likely to hit the switch right away when it flips into place. Plugging a Mini-Con into the turret hatch Powerlinx port, then twisting it left or right will activate a sound clip of machine gun fire. All three of these sound effects are accompanied by a flashing red LED which illuminates the Decepticon sigil panel on the front of the turret.

[[Image:Armada GalvatronTidalWave combined.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Keep that in your pants, Galvy!]]
: Megatron came with his personal Mini-Con, [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]]. His right-side forward hull protrusion has a flip-out "launch pad" for Mini-Cons, with a sliding Powerlinx port. The left-side forward hull has three spring-loaded, flip-out panels that have Powerlinx ports that reveal themselves at the push of a button. The rear right-side hull has a flip-out ramp for Mini-Cons, and a slide-out capture claw to ensnare them, while the rear left-side hull has a holding compartment for Mini-Cons, although most are too large to fit inside.

:In robot mode, Megatron has decent articulation in his arms, but has exceptionally limited articulation in his legs owing to stability concerns when his various gimmicks are used. Plugging a Mini-Con onto his left forearm Powerlinx port and sliding it forward will reveal a small knife in his spring-loaded left hand, though this gimmick can be activated without a Mini-Con. The entire turret assembly can be rotated around to face forward, then all his weapons can then be pivoted to face forward as well for his '''Full Blast Mode'''. The turret can then be rotated by turning a small crank attached to the right-hand side of Megatron's waist, and as it spins, Megatron will cry '''"[[Decepticons, attack|Decepticons, Attack!]]"''', and all three of his sound effects (explosion, launching and machine gun) will play in succession.

:Megatron can also combine with [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]], with Tidal Wave's aircraft carrier and battleship clipping onto his arms and his troop transport clipping onto Megatron's back (after the turret has been positioned in Full Blast Mode configuration) as a jetpack. While the North American instructions only referred to this as Tidal Wave's '''Weapon Mode''', this form was called '''Burning Megatron''' in Japan.

: The American version had a metallic purple face, whereas the Japanese one had a plain silver face and more detailed Decepticon symbols.

: This mold was used to make ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Megazarak]].

*'''Megatron''' (McDonald's Happy Meal, 2002)
**''Accessories:'' Turret

: [[McDonald's]] Megatron is a heavily simplified and brightly colored version of the Ultra toy, and requires his turret to be removed during transformation. He could combine with the other McDonald's ''Armada'' Decepticons in vehicle mode, to form a massive... thing, ostensibly called "[[Mighty Vehicle]]".

*'''Galvatron with Clench''' (Ultra, 2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-08'''
**''Accessories:'' 1 main cannon missile, 2 missile launcher missiles

: Galvatron is a predominantly purple and white redeco of the previous Giga-Con class Megatron toy, covered in black 'battle damage' scorch mark decos and a paint wash on this torso and tank treads. Functionally the only difference is that the sound clip played when a Mini-Con is used on his turret hatch Powerlinx port now says '''"The Power is mine!"''' (which was also a line spoken by Megatron in [[Desperate|an episode of the ''Armada'' cartoon]]).

: The [[Takara]] release has slight paint-shade difference from the [[Hasbro]] version and a metallic gray face instead of flat black, plus fictionally, he comes with a powered-up version of Leader-1 rather than the separate character [[Clench (Armada)|Clench]].

*'''Black Megatron''' (Ultra, 2003)
**''Accessories:'' 1 main cannon missile, 2 missile launcher missiles

: For the June 2003 issue of [[TV Magazine]] in Japan, 100 special redecoes of Megatron were given as [[Lucky Draw]] prizes. This coloration was primarily black with dark olive and purple shades.

*'''Megatron with Leader-1 and Cyclonus with Crumplezone''' (Built to Rule, 2003)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

: Part of the largest ''Transformers'' series ''[[Built to Rule]]'' set, Megatron can be assembled into a battle tank, a robot, or whatever your imagination can do with the blocks provided. Megatron is armed with a dual missile launcher based upon the Mini-Con activated version on the regular Ultra class toy. He came with a block-version of his Mini-Con partner Leader-1, as well as Cyclonus with [[Crumplezone (Armada)|Crumplezone]] model.

:He has realllllly long legs.

===Energon===
*'''Megatron''' (Super, 2004)
**''Accessories:'' Tank/cannon, sword, missile

[[Image:En Megatron toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Minty fresh mouthwash laser cannons!]]
:''Energon'' Megatron transforms into a off-white gray and blue Cybertronic jet. Included is a small representation of ''Armada'' Megatron's tank form, which can plug onto the top of the vehicle mode and can also fire missiles out of its spring-loaded main gun, which also activates an (oddly) machine gun sound effect. Hyper Mode can be activated by raising the upper gray parts of his wings in an 'X-wing' configuration, which extends the translucent green weapons underneath.

:In robot mode Megatron greatly resembles Generation 1 [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in general appearance and in that character's original toy's [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]-based color scheme. The two cannons on his shoulders are typically displayed pointing upwards to evoke the appearance of Megatron's previous ''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' body, but they can be lowered into firing position. The small tank accessory can be attached to either of his arms as a cannon, or it can be flipped around and have a sword attached to the rear of its turret. The sword connection is spring-loaded, and movement from the sword will activate a sword clashing sound effect and light up an LED inside.

: In the United States, this figure was initially only available at [[Walmart]] stores, and saw a wider release shortly after.

*'''Megatron''' (European McDonald's Happy Meal, 2004)
**''Accessories:'' <s>Missile</s> Energon cube

: Megatron is a simple toy based on his ultra sized Energon toy, with no moving arms. He came with a green [[energon cube]] (called a missile, bizarrely) in his body that could be taken out, and could light up by flipping a switch.

*'''Galvatron''' (Super, 2004)
**''Accessories:'' Tank/cannon, sword, missile

: As part of the "Powerlinx Battles" line refresh, Hasbro's Super class Megatron was extensively redecoed to resemble [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] as much as possible. His predominant color is (naturally) purple, with black plastic and extensive use of metallic silver and metallic red paint for detailing. All translucent plastic was replaced with orange.

**''Accessories:'' Tank/cannon, sword, missile

: This two pack, released in American Toys "R" Us stores, included the Ultra version of Megatron (see below) and the Deluxe version of ''Energon'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Optimus Prime]]. This two-pack was the only method to obtain those toys outside of Japan, without importing.

*'''Galvatron''' (Ultra, 2004)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-07'''

:This (initially) Japanese-exclusive toy is a down-sized version of the Super class toy. The features are the same, and the dark and light blue have switched positions, with the white and green a different tint. The electronic lights and sounds were different as well.

: This mold was also used to make [[Megatron (SG)|Shattered Glass Megatron]]

*'''Black Galvatron''' (Ultra, 2004)

: An ultra-rare [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky draw]] prize item available only to Japanese residents, this Ultra class Megatron was repainted predominantly black and crimson with orange translucent parts.

*'''Galvatron General''' (Ultra, 2005)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-20'''

: Galvatron General, shortened to "Galvatron G", is a somewhat [[Neon|garish]] redeco of the Ultra toy in a different, more pinkish shade of purple to the larger Hasbro release. It also includes a purple version of the Energon sword originally found with [[Cruellock]].

===Cybertron===
*'''Megatron''' (Leader, 2005)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GD-01'''
** ''Accessories:'' 2 missiles, gun/wheel, spine weapon, Decepticon-style Cyber Key

[[Image:Cyb Megatron toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Megatron's Unicron cosplay did not turn out well.]]
:''Cybertron'' Megatron transforms into a multi-colored Cybertronic race car and jet. In car mode he resembles a dragster, with large rolling wheels and a comparatively small cockpit. Separating the front halves of the car and flipping them to the sides, connecting them to the hole in the middle of his real wheels transforms him into his jet thing. Okay. Inserting a [[Cyber Key]] into his central slot above his cockpit canopy activates a spring-loaded, pop up engine with red LEDs.

:In robot mode Megatron's design is partially based upon ''Armada'' Unicron's design, with very similar shoulders and arms, though the retention of Unicron's trademark orange leads to a rather chaotic color scheme (how appropriate). In contrast to the previous two major ''Unicron Trilogy'' toys Megatron has had, ''Cybertron'' Megatron features excellent articulation, though his top-heavy design puts some strain on the ratcheting joints in his ankles. Inserting a Cyber Key into the slot on the vehicle half behind his right shoulder opens up a panel to access a rotating gatling gun weapon made up of his left front car wheel (this weapon was called a "Death Machine Gun" in Japan). Inserting a Cyber Key into his slot on the vehicle half behind his left shoulder opens up another panel and detaches his Unicron Spines melee weapon, which can attach onto his left forearm. He can also combine with [[Nemesis Breaker]] for '''Dark Claw Mode''', though his balance in this form is tenuous at best. He has light-piping for his eyes, and it works ''very'' well.

: The Japanese version of this figure uses lavender on the rubbery parts instead of violet, a shiny, lighter shade of green for all the non-molded green parts and strangely, an unpainted nose. Like Snarl, these differences made it less show accurate than the the American version, which was released a few months later.

: Curiously, he can combine with Tidal Wave's arms using the same sockets that allow for Dark Claw Mode.

: His instructions for vehicle mode omit the final step of folding his calf-guards back behind his aft, leaving them awkwardly hanging out at his sides.

:As usual, the Japanese version, released under the "EZ Collection" banner features much more intricate paint operations for a closer resemblance to the Leader class toy.

*'''Galvatron''' (Leader, 2005)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GD-14'''
** ''Accessories:'' 2 missiles, gun/wheel, spine weapon, Decepticon-style Cyber Key

: ''Cybertron'' Galvatron is a silver and black redeco of Leader class ''Cybertron'' Megatron. The color scheme is based upon Generation 1 [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]]. It is notable that in contrast to most Transformers toys, most of the parts designated silver are fully painted silver. His arms contain a hard point for connecting Nemesis Breaker.

: The Takara version uses yellow paint details (and was also packaged in a "special" box), while the Hasbro release used metallic gold.

{{note|Japanese hobby magazine articles noted that the ''Galaxy Force'' release of Master Galvatron's silver paint was based upon the hard-wearing silver paint used on cell phones. It is unknown if Hasbro's version used the same paint, but it is likely due to their similar feel and appearance.}}

: A green redeco of ''[[Beast Wars 10th Anniversary]]'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys|Megatron]]. He transforms into a robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' in the pseudo-[[technorganic]]-looking style of the other [[Jungle Planet (Cybertron)|Jungle Planet]] toys. His deco appears to have been inspired by that of [[Predacon (Armada)|Armada Predacon]], itself a redeco (or slight remold rather) of another Beast Wars Megatron mold. His tail hides a spring-loaded missile launcher that revealed when a Cyber Key is inserted into the slot.

: While this mold was first released earlier in 2006 as part of the ''Beast Wars 10th Anniversary'' line and is obviously meant to be ''Beast Wars'' Megatron, it was developed to fit in with ''Cybertron's'' Jungle Planet aesthetic, "in case" the ''Beast Wars'' Anniversary release didn't pan out (according to [[Aaron Archer]]'s statements at [[BotCon 2005]]).

: This mold was also used to make the [[BotCon 2010]] exclusive [[Cindersaur]].

*'''Megatron''' (Booster, 2006)
{{attacktix
|ID=TF16
|faction=Decepticon
|class=Leader
|special=Transform - 8/26 (31%) success ratio
|cost=40
|speed=4
|attacktype=Shooter (Energy Blast)
}}
{{-}}

: This version of ''[[Attacktix]]'' Megatron is based on his ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' robot form. Despite being called an "Energy Blast" (''Attacktix'' terminology was all created based on ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]''), his missile is actually designed to resemble the tire section of his gatling gun. The angled missile works best by positioning it to oppose the angle of the stance of the figure you're aiming at.

: Megatron is designed to work with his Vehicle Mode figure, bringing a Vehicle Mode Megatron into play from your back-ups. He has four points of articulation (head, waist and shoulders), which he can use to form a defensive tripod by angling his gun arm down behind him.

*'''Megatron (Vehicle)''' (Booster, 2006)

{{attacktix
|ID=TF17
|faction=Decepticon
|class=leader
|special=Transform - 20/26 (77%) success ratio
|cost=30
|speed=8
|attacktype=Shooter (Small missile)
}}
{{-}}

: Megatron's Vehicle mode is based on his jet form rather than his car form. In this form he has a ridiculously huge cannon (it's almost the size of the jet) which can swivel at its base - the only point of articulation on the figure.

: Megatron's speed is unusually high for a shooter, and his very reliable power makes him an effective support figure. Because of the wording of his power he can bring into play any figure named ''Megatron'', including the [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Generation 1 Megatron]] figure, from your backups.

*'''Megatron''' (Intergalactic Showdown, 2006)

{{attacktix
|ID=SVT06
|faction=Decepticon
|class=Leader
|special=Sacrifice - 12/26 (46%) success ratio
|cost=40
|speed=4
|attacktype=Shooter (Energy Blast)
}}
{{-}}

: Basically the same deco as the TF16 robot mode figure, this guy has a gold base and a new power. This version was available only in the Star Wars vs. Transformers ''Intergalactic Showdown'' pack.

: SVTO6 Megatron can be summoned into play using his vehicle mode figure, getting the 40 point figure into play for only 30 points. His ''Sacrifice'' special power allows him to return to play, replacing one of the other Decepticon figures on the field. How very Megatron.

:It should be noted that gold based figures have an additional restriction -- you can only have one gold based figure per team.

: This item was originally intended to be in a wave-1 carry-case/battlefield, but that item was canceled based on low sales of the ''Star Wars'' equivalent. It was to be a redeco of the Megatron piece with a new, smaller missile.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Concept-ArmadaMegatron.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Killing you. To death.]]
* A conceptual drawing in the ''[[Micron Legend Year Book 2003|Micron Legend Yearbook 2003]]'' showed ''Armada'' Megatron as originally being more weapon-laden and certifiably able to '''kill you to death'''.

*Also in the ''Micron Legend Yearbook 2003'', ''Armada'' Megatron's cannon's concept art specifically notes that there is an [[Galvatron (G1)|"'80s Galvatron"]] homage sculpted on the barrel.

* According to [[Aaron Archer]] as ORSON on the now-defunct "Orson's World" forum at [http://www.tfw2005.com TFW2005.com], ''Armada'' Megatron's "antlers" were part of an aborted Mini-Con grabber gimmick. The gimmick didn't make it, but the antlers remained.

* Also according to Archer, the chin on ''Armada'' Megatron is supposed to look like a pair of fangs to play up the character's evil nature. How well this was actually pulled off in the final sculpt is debatable.

[[Image:Armada megatron toy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Mmm... Slanty posing.]]
* The original Hasbro stock photography featured a mis-assembled Megatron toy (seen on the right), with Megatron's feet being flipped with the "grates" from the tops of the feet facing forward.

* ''Cybertron'' Galvatron's tech spec ratings for strength, endurance, and firepower are "unknown." His Cyber Key Code content states he reduced an entire Gigantion city to crystalline dust. Holy crap.

* Additionally, ''Cybertron'' Galvatron's package motto is "[[The Transformers: The Movie|I will crush you with my bare hands!]]", a line used by both the original Megatron and Galvatron in the 1986 animated film.
