[[Image:Cutthroattoon.jpg|350px|right|thumb|No mercy shall be shown to Hun-Gurr's foot for stealing his screen time!]]

While most Decepticons enjoy trashing Autobots, '''Cutthroat''' revels in it. He'll tear a mech to pieces with his bare claws in his bloodthirsty zeal, showing not one iota of mercy. His fighting is so barbaric that it even disturbs other Decepticons; especially considering how much energy he wastes in his frenzies. Still, none of his peers are brave enough to mention anything to Cutthroat; for fear that he'll turn his insatiable bloodlust on them.

Cutthroat can combine with the other Terrorcons to form [[Abominus]], although he rather won't because he thinks Abominus is too "tame" for his taste.

Megatron (BW)

{{Template:Disambig3|Megatron}}
:''Megatron is a [[Predacon]] and a [[Vehicon]] in the [[Beast Era]] portion of [[Generation 1]] continuity.''

[[Image:Megatronbw.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Best. Megatron. Ever. Yeeeessssss...]]

'''Megatron''' has one goal -- restoring glory and power to the Predacon race, with himself at the helm. What distinguishes Megatron from the countless others who share this goal at various volumes is his chutzpah. He is willing to risk everything -- time, space, himself -- if need be.

Megatron is skillful at orchestrating vast schemes by manipulating others into doing them for him -- an idle suggestion here, a conspicuously-planted object of interest there. He knows his enemies inside and out and exactly how to provoke them. He has no friends, only pawns. Because of this attitude, this superiority complex, he despises working with the very troops he needs to carry out his plans. His hubris does not make him very popular, and so he must rely on power and fear to rule them.

Megatron is a gambler and can sometimes be a ham. (His manner of saying "Yesss..." is practically vaudevillian.) He has a twisted sense of humor and an over-developed sense of drama which rule everything he conceives, both long and short term. When he destroys you, he wants you to know that it was he who did this, and just how badly you were had. This is his greatest weakness. Like a Bond villain, he'll gladly boast to the hero at length about how smart and clever he was, giving his victim time to formulate a counterattack. He often sabotages himself by neglecting the quick and easy solutions for the bigger, meaner, and more complex.

Prior to the signing of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], Megatron was a field commander in the Predacon army, where he learned much about strategy and tactics. Upon ratification of peace with the [[Maximal Imperium]] most Predacons laid down their arms. Megatron refused and went rogue.

===Animated continuity===
====Beast Wars II catalog====
[[Image:MegatronGalvatronBW1.jpg|left|150px|thumb|pwnd.]]

On planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatron once disagreed with [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] over opinions on galactic conquest, and engaged him in battle over it. At the time, Megatron momentarily let his guard down, and was defeated. Galvatron declared "Your era is over, Megatron!"

Later, Megatron noted that while Galvatron was ambitious, he cared for his underlings - and although he was loathe to admit it, he acknowledged that Galvatron probably had all the regal bearing of a new [[Emperor of Destruction]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars II catalog}}

====Dreamwave comics continuity====
After stealing the [[Golden Disk]] ''(wrongly drawn as the [[Alien Disk]])'', Megatron broke into [[Vector Sigma]] along with [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] and reviewed historical files on many of the Autobots and Decepticons from the [[Generation 1]] era. He told Dinobot to refer to him henceforth as Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #8}}

====''Timelines: Dawn of Futures Past''====
[[Image:Megatronbwsuit.jpg|thumb|150px|Megatron's technicolor dreamcoat.]]
On Cybertron, Megatron wore removeable transformable armor, which transformed into a missile-launching armored platform, over his basic bodyframe (which transforms into a hovertank). This quickly-discarded outer shell was possibly used to comply with the ratification of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], which required Predacons to lay down their arms. A Predacon field commander before the peace, Megatron refused to comply with these new regulations and struck out on his own to destroy the [[Maximal Imperium]].

With some [[Cryotek|help]] from [[Divebomb (G1)|various sources]], he assembled a crew of ragtag criminals and miscreants for the purpose of stealing the Golden Disk and using it to find [[Earth]]. Succeeding in stealing the disk, he, [[Dinobot (BW)|his lieutenant]], and [[Scorponok (BW)|another accomplice]] fought their way out of the [[Archives]], eliminating [[Unit 1|one guard]] and dodging [[Tigatron|another]]. They were swiftly picked up by the ''[[Darksyde]]'', a ship stolen by the rest of their crew.

Megatron instructed [[Tarantulas]] to study the disk for the coordinates of Earth while the ''Darkside'' battled its several pursuers. Although they were followed by the Maximal ships [[Axalon (BW)|''Axalon'']] and the ''[[Chromia 10]]'', the ''Darksyde''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s mission was also aided by a third ship crewed by the Predacon agents [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]]. Though the ''Chromia 10'' and the Predacon ship were destroyed, the ''Darksyde'' was still followed by the ''Axalon''. Megatron removed his transformable armor and patched a video feed through to the ''Axalon'''s captain, [[Optimus Primal]]. Declaring himself the leader of the Predacons, Megatron opened a [[transwarp]] portal through which both ships travelled. {{storylink|Dawn of Future's Past}}

====''Beast Wars''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[David Kaye]] (US), [[Shigeru Chiba]] (Japan)

[[Image:Megatronbwspidersgame.jpg|left|thumb|200px|HE IS FROM THE FUTURE AND KNOWS A LOT ABOUT HISTORY!]]
After stealing the Maximal relic, the [[Golden Disk]], and [[Darksyde|a ship]], he and his crew were followed through a [[transwarp]] portal by the [[Axalon (BW)|''Axalon'']]. After crashing on a planet that was supposed to be [[Earth]], yet seemingly wasn't, both the Maximals and the Predacons took organic beast forms to protect themselves against the massive amount of Energon radiation. Megatron now transformed into a purple ''Tyrannosaurus rex''.

Dinobot chastised Megatron, accusing him of leading the Predacons to the wrong planet and challenged Megatron for leadership of the Predacons. Megatron simply ignored the challenge and had Scorponok dispose of him. {{storylink|Beast Wars, Part 1}}

Despite the loss of a formidable crony, Megatron positioned himself on the new world and the "Beast Wars" began. Being on a world filled with Energon allowed [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] to find a superhorde, and power himself to great levels. With this power, Terrorsaur was able to demolish Megatron in battle and take over the Predacons. However, through the Maximals' actions, the superhorde was destroyed. Terrorsaur was eventually ridden of his newfound power and returned to an angered Megatron, who was rebuilt by [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]]. {{storylink|Power Surge}}

[[Image:Megatronbwtrex.jpg|150px|thumb|Ah, today is a beautiful day to be out stomping on things!]]
Again, Terrorsaur tried to usurp Megatron, this time using an apparently-turned [[Rattrap]], who used a device to paralyze Megatron. The Predacons argued over who would be leader, but agreed to put Rattrap and Megatron away for the time being. Megatron was able to easily escape using his secret vioce commands, leaving Rattrap to his fate. Revealing himself to have escaped, Megatron allowed Terrorsaur to lead the Predacons in battle with the Maximals. Terrorsaur failed miserably, showing his ineptitude to the Predacons, which was Megatron's plan all along. {{storylink|Double Jeopardy}}

Megatron later formulated a plan to get off Earth. First, he had the other Predacons act dissatisfied with his leadership, causing a battle that apaprently destroyed the Predacons, using a Maximal spy camera that he was aware of to play out the trick. Then, the Maximals scavenged the ''Darksyde'' for parts to repair the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s stardrive. Dinobot discovered the deception and rushed to warn the leaving Maximals. In the scuffle, Megatron sneaked aboard. In the ''Axalon'', he managed to knock out every Maximal on the ship but Rattrap, who he started crushing to death. An angered [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] woke up and threw Megatron off the ''Axalon''. However, Megatron's tail weapon was stuck in the console, causing the ''Axalon'' to crash. Again. {{storylink|Victory (Beast Wars episode)|Victory}}

Later, Megatron caught wind of the return of the [[Vok]] and called a ceasefire between the two factions, realising he had more important things to worry about. The Vok did indeed return, and planned to destroy the planet the Transformers were on with their massive [[Planet Buster]] (cleverly disguised as the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]). Optimus Primal managed to stop the planet buster after flying close to it within a modified stasis pod. Megatron added a little surprise for Primal within the pod, though; locking the door so that Primal could not escape and was destroyed when the planet buster exploded. {{storylink|Other Voices}}

The [[quantum surge]] from the exploding planet buster bathed Megatron in quantum energies, upgrading him into a [[transmetal]]. Megatron quickly rallied his forces and attempted an all-out attack on the leader-less Maximals. Megatron and the Predacons took the upperhand in battle until a transmetal Optimus Primal (brought back online by [[Rhinox]]) saved the day. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1}}

With both factions now aware that the planet they were stranded on was really prehistoric [[Earth]], Megatron was free to put his full plan into motion. Locating the crashed [[Ark]], Megatron attempted to alter history by assassinating the unconscious [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. By doing so, he would presumably ensure the defeat of the [[Autobot]]s and thus the victory of the [[Decepticon]]s and Predacons. {{storylink|The Agenda, Part 3}}

The Maximals managed to save Prime's life by having [[Teletraan-1]] repair his body while Optimus Primal kept his spark within his own structure (an act which altered Primal into a transmetal 2). The Maximals defeated Megatron and returned Prime's spark to its proper place. {{storylink|Optimal Situation}}

[[Image:Megatrontm2render.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Two Megatrons for the price of one.]]

Megatron was not to be outdone. He managed to sneak inside the Ark (which was now the new Maximal base) and take the spark of the original Megatron. He merged Megatron's spark with his own, transforming himself into a transmetal 2. {{Storylink|Master Blaster}}

Megatron's next evil scheme involved the legendary Decepticon battlesip, the [[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]. After finding the ship deep beneath the ocean, Megatron intended to pilot it back to the future and lay waste to the Maximals on Cybertron. First, however, he planned to annihilated the Ark on prehistoric Earth. Primal infiltrated the Nemesis and kept Megatron busy until Rhinox could fly a shuttlecraft through the bridge and take the Predacon out. Primal had the Nemesis crash a second time and thus preserved history. {{storylink|The Nemesis, Part 1}}

After returning the original Megatron's spark to its proper body, the Maximals headed back to Cybertron with the incarcerated Megatron shackled to the outside of their ship. {{Storylink|The Nemesis, Part 2}}

====''Robot Masters'' (Japan-only)====
Voice actor: [[Toshitsugu Takashina]] (Japan)

Using some means of time travel, Megatron journeyed back to a point in history where the orignal Megatron had gone missing, leaving the [[Decepticon]]s without a leader. "Beast Megatron" took command of the Decepticons, leading them on a quest to collect a powerful element, [[solitarium]], from within the Earth. Beast Megatron's plans were quickly thwarted by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and a troop of time-displaced Autobots and Maximals, including [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]], [[Victory Leo]], [[Leo Prime]] and Beast Megatron's arch nemesis, [[Optimus Primal]].

Beast Megatron later discovered a large deposit of solitarium beneath [[New York City]], and along with [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Smokesniper]], [[Gigant Bomb]] and [[Wingstun]], laid waste to the Big Apple. The Autobots, accompanied by [[Reverse Convoy]], arrived and dealt with Beast Megatron's forces quickly. However, Reverse Convoy revealed himself to be the original Megatron in disguise and betrayed them. Now going by the name [[Megatron (G1)#Robot Masters (Japan-only)|Rebirth Megatron]], he teamed up with Beast Megatron and the pair made trouble for the Autobot commanders. However, the Autobots were able to defeat the two Megatrons, sending the villains into retreat.

''(Note: although it picks up after the events of the first season, the Beast Wars Metals manga is not in-continuity with the television series.)''

Megatron is a bumbling oaf constantly leading the [[Predacon|Predacons]] against the forces of the [[Maximal|Maximals]]. {{storylink| Beast Wars Metals (manga)|Beast Wars Metals}}

====IDW ''Beast Wars'' comics====
[[Image:IDW Megatron Magmatron.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Dammit Magmatron, I told you, this is my show.]]
After dispatching [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] and [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] to oversee the installation of [[Sentinel]] into the [[Darkside]], Megatron was attacked by [[Magmatron (BW)|Magmatron]], who had been assigned to arrest him by the [[Tripredacus Council]]. Although Megatron kicked Magmatron's ass, he was ambushed and paralyzed by [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]] and [[Drill Bit (BW)|Drill Bit]]. Magmatron intended to use a [[transwarp shunt]] to transport his prisoner back to [[Cybertron]]. {{storylink|The Gathering, Part 3}} Thanks to the intervention of [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Optimus Minor]], and [[Razorbeast]], Magmatron was sent home empty-handed. Razorbeast was tempted to dispatch the prone Megatron, but released him instead, due to his desire to avoid interfering with the timeline. {{storylink|The Gathering, Part 4}}

''(Note: Razorbeast's refusal to destroy Megatron in order to preserve the timeline is puzzling, as Razorbeast and Megatron are contemporaries.)''

====''Beast Machines''====
Voice actor: [[David Kaye]] (US), [[Shigeru Chiba]] (Japan)

[[Image:Megatron for life.jpg|right|thumb|Thoughtcrime does not entail death, thoughtcrime IS death.]]Breaking free from his constraints on the Autobot shuttle while it travelled through transwarp space, Megatron arrived back home on Cybertron well before the Maximals did. Using technology of his own devising and of [[Cryotek]]'s, he took over the entire planet, and stored the [[spark]] of every last inhabitant under his citadel.

When the Maximals arrived in their shuttle, they found the planet empty aside from countless [[Vehicon|mindless drones]] controlled by Megatron. Megatron's drones immediately bombarded the Maximals with [[devolving gas]] to revert their powerful [[Transmetal]] bodies to normal beast mode bodies, and they were also affected by a [[transformation lock]] virus which Megatron had used to help him conquer the planet in the first place.

Despite his best efforts, the Maximals escaped, and learned to transform again after Primal used the [[Oracle]]'s power to [[reformatting|reformat]] them. They began making short work of his Vehicons, so he removed three sparks from his collection to create [[Vehicon general]]s which could think on their feet in battle. For the generals he chose sparks of Transformers that the Maximals already knew, such that if they ever discovered the sparks' identities, they would be reluctant to destroy them: [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] became [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]], [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] became [[Tankor]], and [[Waspinator]] became [[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]].

Ultimately, Megatron succeeded in capturing the sparks of all the Maximals, leaving just Optimus Primal and himself as the only two Transformers on the entire planet. At the end of a fierce one-on-one fight, in which Megatron wore a copy of the powerful Optimal Optimus body, Megatron began consuming his amassed sparks, growing ever more powerful. However, when he attempted to use the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] to transform the planet's [[organic core]] into [[technomatter]], Primal managed to dislodge them both. They plummeted into the planet's goopy core and, somehow, Primal was able to reformat the entire planet, destroying himself and Megatron completely, but freeing all the lost sparks to repopulate their newly redecorated planet.

====''Universe''====
When [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]'s spark is retrieved from the core of [[Cybertron]] to protect the multiverse, this action freed Megatron's spark as well. The reborn Megatron returned to the ranks of the Predacons, but this time, Optimus Primal found himself in an uneasy alliance with him against Unicron. Megatron travelled with his old nemesis from universe to universe, wherever the growing multiversal conflict had spread. But now with Unicron disappeared into the [[Unicron Singularity]], it remains to be seen whether Megatron's insane ambition will resurface.

Prior to the Universe Conflict an alternate dimension's Megatron was killed by a [[Razorclaw (Universe)|Tigerhawk]] who was corrupted by the Vok. Yet another dimension's Megatron was killed by it's realities [[Obsidian (Universe)|Obsidian]] and [[Tankor (Universe Decepticon)|Tankor]]. All three Megatron-murderers were eventualy promoted to the rank of [[Unicron's General]]. It seems that killing Megatron may be part of Unicron's criteria for choosing a General.

===Beast Wars===
* '''Optimus Primal vs. Megatron''' (Basic 2-pack, 1996)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-6'''

: The initial version of ''Beast Wars'' Megatron transformed into a green alligator. He was only availble in this two pack with the bat version of Optimus Primal.

: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-1'''

[[Image:Bwmegatron_toy.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Don't call him Barney.]]

: This Megatron transformed into a purple organic Tyrannosaurus dinosaur. His dinosaur head can shoot water. In robot mode, he has no hands, as his right arm ends with his dino had, and his tail, folded into a pincer, being attached to his left arm. The outer shells of his dinosaur thighs conceal spring-loaded missile launchers that fire anchor-shaped projectiles.

: His robot head feature two bat-like wing adornments that fold to become a battlemask.

: This mold was also used to make [[Beast_Machines|Beast Machines]] [[Dinobot_(BM)|Dinobots]] [[T-Wrecks]].

{{-}}

*'''Convobat vs Megaligator''' (Basic 2-pack, 1997)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''S-1'''
:This figure is a purple [[redeco]] of Megatron's Gator form, and was sold with a red redeco of Bat Primal.

* '''Megatron''' (Transmetal Mega, 1998)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-40'''

: The third ''Beast Wars'' Megatron toy transformed into a mechanical Tyrannosaurus. In robot mode, he finally has two hands, with his tail becoming a flexible, segmented cutlass weapon, though it was depicted in most media as a new version of his main cannon. As with all ''Transmetal'' toys, he has a 'third' vehicle mode, in this case a tyrannosaurus with rollerskates and jet engines.

: Really.

: This mold was retooled used to make [[Armada]] [[Predacon_(Armada)|Predacon]].

* '''Megatron''' (Transmetal 2 Ultra, 1999)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-47'''

[[Image:BWdragonmegs_toy.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Don't call him Mushu, either.]]

: The final version of Megatron transformed into a mostly mechanical dragon. Two projectiles stored in his wings can be fired from a spring-loaded launcher inside his dragon's mouth. Additionally, another launcher is available above his helmet. His chest is dominated by a small cockpit with a control chair inside (see Trivia). Megatron's dragon neck and head replaces his left arm, the neck being made of a rubbery material with vacuum metalised overlapping plates attached on top. The neck was flexible able to be controlled and locked into position by a small lever located at its base.

: ''Transmetal 2'' Megatron has a third 'vehicle' mode, which appears to be an afterthought, as it basically involves the dragon sitting very low to the ground so the wheels mounted on the legs and body can make contact and roll.

:This mold was also used to make [[Robots_in_Disguise|Robots in Disguise]] [[Cryotek]].

* '''Megatron''' (Beast Wars 10th Anniversary, 2006)

[[Image:BW_10th_Megatron.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"Grape-faces don't give up, they conquer!"]]

: For the 10th Anniversary of ''Beast Wars'', [[Hasbro]] created an all-new Deluxe-size tooling based mostly upon his original 1996 Tyrannosaurus form, but with technorganic detailing. When a [[Cyber Planet Key]] is inserted into his tail, it opens up to reveal a missile launcher.

: He is also packaged with a mini-comic-sized reprinting of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Gathering]]'' #1, a small [[Darksyde|''Darksyde'']] ship figurine, and a [[Jungle Planet]] style Cyber Planet Key ''without'' a [[Cyber Key Code]] stamped on it.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed and released as [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'']] [[Megatron_(Armada)|Megatron]]. It's worth noting that the scuplt for both BW10 leader toys were intentionally designed to blend in with the Jungle Planet aesthetic, "in case" they didn't get a Beast Wars Anniversary release (according to [[Aaron Archer]]'s statements at [[BotCon 2005]]).

* '''Optimus Primal vs. Megatron''' (Ultra 2-pack, 2006)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''BWR-01'''

: For the 10th Anniversary of ''Beast Wars'', [[Takara]] retooled the original 1996 Ultra-sized Megatron toy, giving him a new head sculpt and a new paint scheme based upon the appearance of the CGI model used in the ''Beast Wars'' television series.

: The 1996 Ultra-sized Optimus Primal was also retooled and redecoed in the same manner.

===Beast Machines===
* '''Megatron''' (Mega, 2000)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''BR-05'''

[[Image:BMMegs_toy.jpg|left|thumb|165px|I'm Batman.]]

: The first ''Beast Machines'' incarnation of Megatron is based on his ''Transmetal 2'' dragon form, but with ''Beast Machines'' design style at a lower price point. The result was a weak copy of the larger, much more detailed predecessor.

: Like his television counterpart, his wings can fold around himself to create the control armour/cloak.

* '''Beast Changer''' (Deluxe, 2001)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''BR-11'''

: A toy version of [[Savage/Noble_(BM)|Savage/Noble]].

: It was later redecoed in show-accurate colours for the japanese ''Beast Wars Returns'' toyline.

* '''Megahead Megatron''' (Beast Wars Returns, 2005)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''BR-12'''

: This is a japanese-[[exclusive]] redeco of Robots in Disguise [[Megatron_(RID)|Megabolt Megatron]].

===Robot Masters===
* '''Beast Megatron''' (2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-02'''

[[Image:24013-m.jpg|left|thumb|180px|"Yessss... oh yes!"]]

: Beast Megatron is a simplied version of the 1996 Ultra ''Beast Wars'' Megatron. Much smaller, it had a very similar transformation and had a sculpt resembling the television series CGI model, but a paint scheme similar to the original toy. he also came with a small laser rifle.

{{-}}
===Titanium Series===
* '''Beast Wars Megatron''' (3" Robot Master, 2006)

[[Image:Titanium_RM_BWMegatron.jpg|right|thumb|150px|"... my [[Rampage_(BW)|crazed crustacean]], do you realise what this [[Golden_Disk|means]]?"]]

: For the ''Titanium'' series, the initial 3" Megatron toy was based off his 1996 Ultra version. He's kind of squat.

{{-}}

==Merchandise==

==Trivia==

[[Image:BWRConcept35.jpg|right|170px|thumb|TM2 Megatron's control art. Look! Spark figure! Painful amounts of detail!]]

*Originally, ''Transmetal 2'' Megatron, along with [[Optimus_Primal|Optimal Optimus]] and [[Tigerhawk_(BW)|Tigerhawk]] were to have small driver-like figures sitting on control chairs located in cockpits on their bodies. These drivers were meant to represent their sparks. But [[Hasbro]] then later realized that kids might confuse these spark representations as drivers controlling the robots, so they were abandoned, but the cockpits remain.
: However, the spark pilot was eventually used in the japanese release of [[Cryotek]].

*The Japanese dub of Beast Wars chose to interject humor at every available opportunity. Due to this, Megatron's personality and character were taken on a complete U-turn. Instead of being a smooth and charismatic leader, he was a screaming maniac and a bumbling oaf. His most notable character-trait in Japan was that whenever he was fired-upon or startled he would let-out a high-pitched shriek like a '''little girl'''.''

*Megatron's initial basic Beast Wars toy is a [[retool]] of [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]] with new alligator and robot heads, and no frill. The screw hole for the frill bracket remains. Both toys were released at roughly the same time.

:''Scavenger is a [[Predacon]] in the [[Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1]]/[[Beast Era]] continuity family.''
[[Image:BWscavenger.jpg|thumb|Not [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]. Really.]]
'''Scavenger''' is a [[Transmetal]] Predacon, and is an infantry commander who uses his drilling third mode to ambush [[Maximal]]s.

==Fiction==
===IDW Beast Wars comics===
Scavenger was one of the [[protoform]]s left behind by the crew of the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' on prehistoric [[Earth]]. He was activated and put in chronal phase by [[Razorbeast]] at [[Magmatron]]'s request. He was sent to dispose of Razorbeast and his small band, but the attack was interrupted by a much larger force of [[Maximal]]s. During the battle, Scavenger got his teeth re-organized, courtesy of [[Bonecrucher (BW)|Bonecrusher's]] fist. After the battle, if he survived, he presumably regrouped with [[Ravage]] and the rest of the Predacons.

==Trivia==
*Scavenger's toy was originally intended to be the transmetal form of [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]], and was in fact released as such in the Beast Wars Metals Japanese toy line.

84.24.58.88:

:''Torca is a [[Maximal]] in the [[Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] continuity.''
[[Image:IDW Torca.jpg|thumb|right|300px| How would '''you''' like to taste everyone you ever hugged?]]
General '''Torca''''s fuzor body equips him well for land and water. His massive size belies his combat skill. Hand-to-hand combat with Torca is a challenge; his huge tusks can swap most [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] with ease.

==Fiction==
===IDW Beast Wars comics===
Torca was one of the [[protoforms]] jettisoned from the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' on prehistoric [[Earth]]. He was activated and put in chronal phase by [[Razorbeast]] at [[Magmatron (BW)|Magmatron]]'s request, but was protected from Magmatron's Predacon shell-program by Razorbeast's viral code.

Soon after awakening, he joined up with [[K-9]], [[Bantor]], [[Stinkbomb]], [[Armordillo]], and [[Noctorro]]. During their journey to meet up with Razorbeast, Torca got stuck in some mud. He needed the help of his new travelling companions to free him. After following Razorbeast's signal for days, and picking up more Maximals along the way, Torca exploded into battle (sporting a painted Maximal symbol on his shoulder!) against Magmatron's [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]]. The giant Fuzor tipped the scales, allowing the Maximals to win that altercation. The united group awaited rescue from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

*'''Torca''' (Deluxe Fuzor, 1998)
:Torca's beast mode is a combination of killer whale and elephant. His dorsal fin becomes his accessory gun; moving the fin back and forth while still plugged into his back makes his tusks pinch in and out a little bit.

:Torca was later [[redeco]]ed to make the [[Beast Wars Neo]] character [[Elphaorpha]].

{{disambig3|Menasor}}

:''Motormaster is a [[Decepticon]] and a [[Stunticon]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

When '''Motormaster''' booms out orders in his hollow, bottomless-deep voice of doom, his Stunticon soldiers listen in very real fear. A cold and brutal tyrant, without an ounce of mercy or care for any lesser being, he considers himself the true "King of the Road." He longs to one day prove his claim by destroying [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] in a head-on collision. His fellow Stunticons hate him but are too terrified of him to dare disobey his orders.

He combines with his fellow Stunticons to form [[Menasor]].

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
Motormaster finally got the chance to prove he was the true "King of the Road" by ramming head-on into Optimus Prime. The crash flattened his tires, crumpled his trailer, broke his windows and shattered his ego. Optimus only suffered a headache.
