LucarioNeedsNosecone:

Hi guys.

In addition to my first contribution a while back (the Masterpiece Megs write-up), I've just added a bunch of new stuff I noticed wasn't in there, like Sport Label and also the nontransforming Megatron gunmode accessories included with Masterpiece Prime and Reissue Starscream. I know they're not actual transforming toys per se, but my argument is that:

a] They're official Takara products explicity identified as Megatron, and:

b] since we list nontransforming representations of Megs in ''robot'' mode (revoltech, heroes etc.), it'd be kinda "form-ist" to omit these. Plus, they do technically have moving parts. Kinda...

Hope you guys find it all kosher.

Cheers, [[User:PacifistPrime|PacifistPrime]].

==Question about Megatron toys==

Did anyone know that the G1 Megatron toys were banned in Australia because it looked too much like a real gun? --[[User:Wavage|Wavage]] 8:28 PM, 30 December 2014

== The looks on Henkei Megatron ==

Saw it today, and it has a dull white repaint, save for some silver which probably flakes. It's looks very bland and metaphorically cheap; people are better off with the American version. --[[User:akindofdrifter|akindofdrifter]]

== Optimus Prime Vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle set ==

I saw several of the 'OPVM:TUB' box sets, minus the DVD, this evening at the Dollar General store where I work at. It still has the same packaging as last year's offering; possibly leftovers from Hasbro's warehouse. Still, not a bad idea to send out in light of the soon release of 'TF:ROTF'. - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 23:05, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

== "Safety/Lava Bath Megatron" ==

From the [[For safety reasons]] page:
:''As such, it is entirely legal for dealers to sell original G1 Megatron figures, as they are grandfathered in; but any later American release of the toy WOULD have to meet these standards, hence the "Safety/Lava Bath Megatron" toy, which STILL failed to meet these guidelines, as the entire external surface was not (and likely could not be) made from a single color of plastic.''

Any more info on this, since it's not mentioned here (even as a {{tl|canceledtoy}})? - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 13:25, 23 September 2009 (EDT)
: It was a slide on Hasbro's presentation for one BotCon or another. We weren't allowed to take pictures that year. It was a bright orange and blue-chromed G1 Megatron. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 15:44, 23 September 2009 (EDT)

== Hasbro not re-using Classics Megatron? ==

I've seen a few people on a forum off-handedly mention that Hasbro won't re-use Classics Megatron because even it doesn't meet safety standards any longer. Has this actually been said anywhere, or are these people wackos? -- [[User:Arborday|Arborday]] 23:28, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
* Wow man, if that ''is'' true, then I frakkin' despair. How can NERF guns be legal and Classics Megsy not be ''when he's based on a goddamn NERF gun''..?!? [[User:Rattrapping|Rattrapping]] 21:08, 12 March 2011 (EST)
: Not the mold, the colors. Hasbro said that reissuing Classics Megatron in the colors he originally came out in is no longer feasible. He'd have to be more dayglo and neon. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 21:09, 12 March 2011 (EST)
:: Well, to answer my original question, where was this said? I've only seen it mentioned a few times, with no one ever questioning the source. It seems something like that would be a bigger deal/more common knowledge, but I don't recall hearing it in a Botcon Q&A or anything like that [[User:Arborday|Arborday]] 00:42, 3 April 2011 (EDT)

== AM Radio ==

Not to spoil anyone's fun, but I've heard rumors that the gun contains a mic in the back of the ''scope'', not the front of the barrel. Could this be verified, debunked, or what? [[User:TheMZone|TheMZone]] 03:31, 21 October 2010 (EDT)

== G2 colour scheme ==
Just spotted this article and was struck by the resemblance to Megatron's G2 colours - http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/nov/02/language-lesson-anglo-french-forces - I don't know if green and purple camo is specifically a French thing or whether it's more common than that? -- Emvee (not signed in at work)
:Wha? That tank is in greens, blacks and browns. I think your monitor needs adjusting. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 09:32, 3 November 2010 (EDT)

== Page edit lock? ==
Why is the toy page locked from editing? {{unsigned|110.33.205.174}} 23:25, 5 November 2010 (EDT)
:It's to prevent it from being vandalized by anonymous users. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] 23:40, 5 November 2010 (EDT)

:::It was locked back in July because someone kept adding WFC Megatron's toy to the page, even though it's a representation of Prime Megatron. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 18:01, 6 November 2010 (EDT)

== ATB Megatron ==
I was just wondering if the unreleased G2 Megs stealth bomber shouldn't be listed as "ATB Megatron", or at least contain some acknowledgment that this is the name most commonly recognized for this toy? I'm pretty sure it even lists "ATB" as part of his name on the toy packaging. Speaking of which, shouldn't this entry also contain some mention of the fact that very limited boxed samples of this toy were actually produced (and pictures exist), even though it wasn't actually "released"...? Given the obscure nature of this info, I didn't want to just add it without asking first, though. [[User:Rattrapping|Rattrapping]] 21:21, 12 March 2011 (EST)

== Masterpiece face ==

Does the brow of the toy move? Pictures of his face vary from him looking more or less menacing. [[User:Sarujo|Sarujo]] 16:19, 21 May 2011 (EDT)

== Microphone Megs. ==

I don't wanna be a wetblanket here, and I love the humor of the "barrel in mouth" microphone as much as the next guy, but I do not believe that the mic on Radio Megs was on the barrel. From what I've heard, it was located on the back, near where the hammer would be. [[User:TheMZone|TheMZone]] 12:23, 2 September 2011 (EDT)

== You guys are TOTALLY missing a version here. ==

There was, around the time of the Transformers original animated movie, a mailaway "Movie Edition Megatron", as well as Optimus Prime.
It appears to have been the same 1984 released Megatron by Hasbro, except it came in a cardboard box with absolutely no other packaging but its styrofoam. However, exclusively included inside was a certificate where you could write your name on it saying you followed the code (lol?) as well as a Movie Edition circular sticker. Optimus Prime had these identical things as well.

Here's some pics and scans of this version:

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/JINZONINGEN73/JINZO/TRANSFORMERS/NONTOY/optimusmegatronbox001.jpg

Oddly enough, it included the red tech specs decoder lens, even though it came to me in the mail with nothing but the cardboard box where tech specs would normally have been. {{unsigned|Nyancatron}}
:Sounds like you ordered it from [[The Autobots Have a Special Mission for:|this]] flyer? You're right in that it isn't mentioned on the toy page, which implies he was first offered as a mailaway with the later '[[Rodimus Prime remembers the Transformers greatest battle on Earth.]]' flyer. Feel free to add info about the releases into the listings for the original toys (I don't think they're different enough to warrant a separate listing) - the bonus material doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on here, and it's always nice to find out new stuff! [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 07:41, 12 February 2013 (EST)

== Purple Megaligator ==

[http://www.soundwavesoblivion.com/techspecs/techsbeastwars.html A translation of his bio] says he "evolved from a Walther P-38 Pistol", so, yes, we know which Megatron he is. I dunno how we want to incorporate that into the articles for the G1 and BW Megatrons, though. [[User:Mimi|Mimi]] 00:43, 5 September 2013 (EDT)

== Calvin Johnson Megatron Toy Entry ==

Where is the entry for Nike's Calvin Johnson Megatron Figure?
It came exclusively with Purple Nike Football shoes and it was redeco of IDW's Generations Megatron.
[[User:Hyruk | User:Hyruk ]]

== Masterpiece 2.0 ==

This may just be me seeing things, but I'm pretty sure that the Decepticon insignia used on Megatron's second MP is one pulled from the cartoon. All -if not most- Decepticon Masterpiece figures use the 'modern' design rather than the squatter, three-pronged design of the cartoon - so Megs 2.0 is an exception.

I ''think'' --[[User:Nuclearxpotato|Nuclearxpotato]] ([[User talk:Nuclearxpotato|talk]]) 01:50, 25 October 2016 (EDT)
: MP Shockwave came with stickers that included an optional cartoon-Decepticon-logo set. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 02:39, 25 October 2016 (EDT)

== Double Pretender Megatron ==

Reading the entry for the TFSS Pretender, I think there needs to be an edit that the linked ways of getting Megatron and Spacewarp into the shell are not limited to those in the links. When I got my own, I didn't use either method, and it works fine. I think it should just be edited to say "Two possible ways of fitting Megatron and Spacewarp into the shell are . . ." with a note that there are other ways of fitting them inside rather than implying that there are <b>only</b> two ways.

== Gunn not Tenkk Text Change Request ==

I would like to request that someone change all instances referencing "Trukk not munky" as "Gunn not Tankk" for Megatron changed from "Tankk" to "Tenkk", as well as all other "Gunn not X"s change the "X" to a form more resembling the pronunciation like in "munky". For example, "X" in this case would be changed to "Echs". I don't care how unnecessary these changes are and how little the changes would affect the style, I would like them changed.

Please note: Everything about Transformers, whether that be a cartoon episode, comic, info page, or even an article online that references Transformers even once and for a small bit, needs more Nosecone. If it already has Nosecone in it, it still needs more Nosecone. If it is something along the lines of a bio or info page on Nosecone, it still needs more Nosecone. If it is an entire thing about how great Nosecone is, it still needs more Nosecone (and to balance itself with some of the problems with Nosecone, jeez). If it is a 3-D animation of Nosecone Nosconing (yes, I used Nosecone as an adverb)... I'll decide on that when Grimlock builds that bridge.
