'''[[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|400px|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:Armadatoy burning megatron.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Keep that in your pants, Megs!]]
: 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 (Universe)|Megazarak]].

*'''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 Lucky Draw figure, 2003)
**''Accessories:'' 1 main cannon missile, 2 missile launcher missiles

: This special redeco of Megatron was given away as a [[Lucky Draw figure|prize]] in a contest held in the June 2003 issue of ''[[TV Magazine]]''. Limited to 100 units, this Megatron was, as his name suggests, primarily black with dark olive and purple shades, and bright yellow and green highlights.

*'''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===

[[Image:Energontoy_megatron.jpg|right|400px|thumb|Minty fresh mouthwash laser cannons!]]
*'''Megatron''' (Super, 2004)
**''Accessories:'' Tank/cannon, sword, missile

:''Energon'' Megatron transforms into a off-white gray and blue Cybertronic jet, with a [[Hyper Mode]] activated by pulling on the translucent segments of his wings, unfolding their various panels to reveal more weapons. In robot mode, Megatron greatly resembles [[Galvatron (G1)|Generation 1 Galvatron]], with a pair of large pivoting shoulder cannons.

:Megatron's primary weapon is a large tank, based on his ''Armada'' body, featuring a spring-loaded missile launcher and an out-of-place machine gun sound effect. The tank attaches to Megatron in either of his modes as a cannon, either mounting on his back in jet mode, or clipping to his arm in robot mode. Inserting and then removing the rear of the tank into the scabbard on Megatron's back draws out the sword blade stored there, and the tank can then attach to his arm to allow the Decepticon leader to wield the weapon. The sword's connection point is spring-loaded, so that when the blade is struck against something, it activates a sword-clashing sound effect and a red LED that illuminates the translucent blade.

: In the United States, this figure was initially only available at [[Walmart]] stores, and saw a wider release shortly after. It was later redecoed to create ''Energon'' Galvatron (see below).

*'''Galvatron''' (Ultra, 2004)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-07'''
** ''Accessories:'' Tank/cannon, sword, missile

:Rather than release the Super-class ''Energon'' Megatron figure, Takara opted to instead produced a small, Ultra-class version of the character. The figure is a down-sized version of the larger toy, with all the same features, new electronic sounds in the tank, and lighter, more cartoon-accurate colour scheme. Initially exclusive to Japan, the figure was later made available in Hasbro markets in a two-pack (see below).

: This mold was also used to make ''Super Link'' Black Galvatron and Galvatron General (see below), and [[Megatron (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Megatron]].

*'''Black Galvatron''' (Ultra Lucky Draw figure, 2004)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-07'''
** ''Accessories:'' Tank/cannon, sword, missile

: This redeco of the Ultra-class Megatron/Galvatron figure was offered through both a ''TV Magazine'' prize draw, and live drawings held in Tobu Department Stores. Limited to 50 pieces, it sported a striking new black and red color scheme, with orange translucent parts, and came in the standard toy's packaging, with a sticker denoting it as the redeco. Some units have been found without the sticker; confirmed reports suggest that these were the versions given away at Tobu stores.

*'''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.

: This version of Galvatron was released in Japan as a [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] "[[USA Edition]]" on [[April 28]], 2004.

*'''Galvatron General''' (Ultra, 2005)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Tank/cannon, sword, missile, Energy Blade, [[Energon star]]
: As with the original version of Megatron, Takara did not release the Super-class Galvatron figure, instead redecoing their Ultra-size figure as "Galvatron General", or "Galvatron G". Like the earlier Takara figure, the toy features a more cartoon-accurate, if somewhat more garish, color scheme, with a more pinkish shade of purple, yellow translucent parts instead of orange, and a pale blue crown instead of the Hasbro's toy's black. It also includes a purple version of the "Energy Blade" [[Energon weapon]] that was originally packaged [[Cruellock]], consisting of a small gun and sword which combine to form a larger blade, and a purple Decepticon Energon star.

*'''Powerlinx Optimus Prime vs. Megatron''' (Exclusive multi-pack, 2005)
**''Accessories:'' Tank/cannon, sword, missile

: Takara's Ultra-sized version of Megatron was released in Hasbro markets in this two pack, along with another previously Takara-exclusive figure, the Deluxe version of ''Energon'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Optimus Prime]]. A Toys"R"US exclusive, this two-pack was the only way of obtaining the two toys outside of Japan without importing.

**''Accessories:'' Tank/cannon, sword, missile
:A black and green redeco of the Super ''Energon'' Megatron mold was planned to be released in a set with ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] as a Target exclusive, but was ultimately canceled. Artwork for the toy was produced by [[Dan Khanna]] and revealed online by the artist.

===Cybertron===
[[Image:Cyb Megatron toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Megatron's Unicron cosplay did not turn out well.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Leader, 2005)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GD-01'''
** ''Accessories:'' 2 missiles, gun/wheel, spine weapon, Decepticon-style Cyber Key

:''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. Unusually for Takara, these differences made it ''less'' show accurate than Hasbro's 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.

*'''Megatron''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2005)

:''[[Legends Class|Legends of Cybertron]]'' Megatron is a simplified version of the Leader class toy. He can only transform into his car mode and has rather limited articulation, sculpt and paint detail.

[[Image:GalaxyForce EZ MasterMegatron.jpg|right|300px|thumb|...BUT I AM!]]
: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.}}

*'''Master Galvatron''' (EZ Collection, 2005)

: Released as an exclusive for ''Dengeki Hobby'' magazine in September 2005, this redeco of the Legends of Cybertron class Megatron is a fairly intricate recreation of the Leader class Galvatron's color scheme and paint operations. He was presented in a miniature version of the leader class Master Galvatron's box.

*'''Galvatron''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2006)

: Released several months after the Japaneses version, the Hasbro Legends of Cybertron Galvatron has considerably less paint operations in terms of intricacy and quantity resulting in a less accurate resemblance to the larger Leader class figure.

[[Image:Cybertron Deluxe BeastMegatron.jpg|right|300px|thumb|This looks familiar... Yesss...]]
*'''Megatron''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Missile, Jungle Planet-style Cyber Key

: 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]].

The toy itself is identical to the ''Cybertron'' release.

: [[McDonald's]] Megatron is a heavily simplified and brightly colored version of the Ultra toy, and requires his turret to be removed during transformation.

: 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'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.

==Notes==
[[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.

* 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.
