The '''Fusion Cannon''' is [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s ultimate weapon. It is attached to his right arm and is devastatingly powerful, as demonstrated by its sudden removal of [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s head. (It's at least as powerful as [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s [[Media:Fortmaxgiveshead.jpg|hands]], then.) It strikes fear into the [[spark]]s of both the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s, for any who challenge it will surely fail.

Except [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. Only he appears to be able to survive a shot from the fusion cannon, considering how many times Megatron has shot Prime.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
====Marvel Comics====
Presumably, this cannon is powered by some sort of <strike>nukular</strike> nuclear fusion reaction. Sometimes Megatron has been able to link up extradimensionally to a black hole to augment this power, increasing it astronomically, and making him look real cool and [[Ripped Up Space|space-rippy]] in the process. Most bodacious!

[[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had a big cannon, too, but it didn't work by fusion.

=====Generation 2=====
As part of an agreement with [[Cobra]], Megatron's body was rebuilt to resemble a human tank, with his fusion cannon being replaced with a magnetic rail gun.

====Generation 1 cartoon====
Megatron could remove his cannon from his main body. One time, [[Brawn]] stole it from him and used it against him. Megatron was not amused. {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}}

Fusion cannons are also oddly useful when you just wanna kick [[Starscream (G1)|your lieutenant]] for shooting you in the back but don't want to have to walk over to him...yeah, we don't question that. {{storylink|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 3}}

====IDW====
The fusion cannon was a gift from Starscream {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4}}. How ironic how Megatron decided to pay him back a few hundred years later by blowing him to bits {{storylink|Infiltration issue 6}}.

===Beast Wars===
*Megatron loved his fusion cannon so much, he had another fusion cannon installed on the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]''. The blast radius from the weapon is massive. Most kickass. It requires a power up time to fire again. Less kickass. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 2}}

*Although not Megatron's, according to Beast Wars, the Ark's cannon ''was'' a fusion cannon. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}}

===Beast Machines===
[[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s personal chariot, [[Mechatron]], comes equipped with a fusion cannon to nullify any accursed Maximal that comes across.

===Transformers (2007 Film)===
[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s cannon is presumably telescopic, as he keeps it stored in his left arm when not in use. Its powerful blast is enough to knock [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] back three city blocks and requires Megatron to use both arms to steady the aim. Because Megatron is always concerned about collateral damage. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

===Animated===
[[Megatron (Animated) |Megatron]]'s iconic cannon makes an excellent cutting torch. It's also serves as a great distraction when you want to clodclock your second. And of course, blowing up spaceships and converting autobots to rubble are classic features.
