178.66.21.88: /* Edits */

==Name==
I haven't read Exodus, so I don't know if this is in there, but the Transformers.com timeline says that in addition to being a gladiator, Megatron's standard job was laboring in the mines as a worker designated D-16. http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=7fd5ecd9-19b9-f369-1041-a7635be83172
: Yes, that's in ''Exodus.'' Everything in the timeline is either from the book or what the book was written from, depending on whichever came first. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 13:38, 3 July 2010 (EDT)

== Autobot? ==

If he was once good, shouldn't there be an Autobot simbol on the top of the page?—[[User:TOM|TOM]] 15:26, 13 January 2011 (EST)
: No where on this page does it describe Megatron as a former Autobot. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 15:40, 13 January 2011 (EST)
:: He fought along side Optimus Prime during the Great War against Decepticons, before he became one himself. Sounds like an Autobot.--[[User:TOM|TOM]] 18:59, 20 March 2011 (EDT)
:::I recalthat they fought together, but not that they fought "Decepticons" together. A very important distinction. Goingby WfC they both fought the corrupt system together, then split when Megs formed the Cons and Prime formed the Autobots. Don't recal Prime contridicting that.--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 19:16, 20 March 2011 (EDT)

== Paring it down ==

I should probably say something here about the edit I just made. I've said it in the past, but I often feel that any fiction sections that are created as the fiction is being produced (so, for the wiki, that's basically the Animated and Prime cartoons) have a great tendency to be overlong, not through anyone's fault, but simply because they're built up week on week, with isolated, perhaps-a-bit-too-detailed episode summaries being added one after the other. Megatron has one of the smallest Prime cartoon sections, since he's only been in like two-thirds of the episodes, but it still seemed ''really'' long for a single 26-episode season with potentially three or four more seasons to be added to it yet as time goes by, and it's nothing compared to some of the Animated ones - and that just sort of sticks out to me, when series of greater length that are written up retroactively after they're done tend to read more quickly and concisely. Obviously, if what I've done offends society and the children, we can revert and I won't object... but frankly, I'm annoyed I couldn't shave off more than 2500 characters. (That WFC section is pretty gigantic too, honestly.) - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 09:32, 13 October 2011 (EDT)

== Cyberverse commander ==

Have the CV Commander infront of me. I see no pack-in file card. A few other things; his swordy bladey thingy doesn't peg in to his vehicle mode as per the instructions- hole is too small on the engine/ fusion cannon. This may be just on mine but i'm bringing it up as a potential mold problem if others have it too. Also, the side of the box has 2/004 printed on it. Does this denote that he is the 2nd out of 4 in the CV Commander line? Surely there'll be more than 4 of them? [[User:Durge|Durge]] 17:56, 2 February 2012 (EST)
:He is number 004 in series 2 of Cyberverse, in all likelihood. Either series 1 is the Legions, or series 1 was DOTM. -[[User:LV|LV]] 19:34, 2 February 2012 (EST)

== Trivia update? ==
I was just wondering, is this:

''"Optimus Prime's recollections in Darkness Rising have him and Megatron fighting side-by-side at the start of the Great War. This is the first time a Megatron has been involved in a Great War that he didn't start, never mind one where he used to be a goodie."''

...strictly accurate anymore?

I'm not saying that I'm actually sure it ''isn't'', and I freely admit that I've not read the two novels, but based on what is said in [[One Shall Rise, Part 3]] and what this page seems to be saying further up, my impression is that Megatron pretty much DID start the war, and was only ever rather debatably a "goodie", depending on how one views his early political idealism. The extent to which Orion/Optimus and Megs fought side-by-side still appears a bit murky to my understanding, and it seems likewise debatable as to whether any such unity was during the Great War proper. Doesn't Ratchet seem to indicate that this took place before either faction really existed, ergo likely before the Great War ''per se''? But yeah, I'm quite unclear on this, so I didn't want to just go ahead and delete/alter it myself.

== Possible Trivia ==

Anyone else think the ''Transformers Prime'' Megatron's jet mode resembles a K-Wing from the Star Wars Expanded Universe?

Jet Mode: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Tfprimemegatronjet.jpg
K-Wing: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:K-Wing_NEGVV.jpg

[[User:DS14A|DS14A]] 01:56, 23 March 2012 (EDT)
:Not especially. It's a pretty generic design, it resembles several Klingon vessels as much as it does that K-Wing. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 10:12, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

== galvatron ==

do you guys think this megatron will be reborn into galvatron?

==Edits==

True, my edit to this page may have been a little lengthy. I was trying to describe Megatron's personality though. Since it probably was too long, I shortened it somewhat; there's no need to revert it entirely.

==Source of inspiration==
Should we add that Megy kinda looks like [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Marauder-class_corvette this ship?] [[Special:Contributions/178.66.21.88|178.66.21.88]] 12:15, 30 September 2012 (EDT)
