Fun Publications Shattered Glass continuity

[edit]

Ricochet ambushed Megatron at the Temple of Knowledge, taking him captive. He removed Rumbler, which Crosshairs used as a footstool. When Optimus Prime later burst in, Megatron grabbed Ricochet's Targetmaster partner, Nightstick. But Nightstick took over Megatron's arm. Optimus used this opportunity to grab Rumbler. Activating its sword, he charged Megatron, who turned just in time for the blade to cleave his wrist. Regaining control of his arm, Megatron recalled Rumbler to his side. Optimus Prime was defeated.

  • Megatron & Rodimus (Convention Souvenir 3-Pack, 2008)
    • Accessories: "Rumbler" Tank-cannon, missile, sword-blade
Megatron is a redeco and retool of Takara-exclusive Mega Class Super Link Galvatron, with a more heroic color scheme and a new head mold based on an early character model for Generation 1 Megatron. He comes with Rodimus and Divebomb as a bagged set, limited to 1100 pieces.
Megatron transforms into a silver and black Cybertronian jet with red accents and blue translucents. Included is the "Rumbler" tank (which is originally a representation of Armada Megatron's tank form, and sort-of a homage of Megazarak), which can plug onto the top of the vehicle mode and can also fire missiles out of its spring-loaded main gun (presumably meant to be a fusion cannon). Hyper Mode can be activated by tugging his transparent wing tips outward, which extends the blue sections, raises the upper gray parts of his wings in an "X-wing" configuration, and deploys the red weapons underneath. In robot mode, Rumbler can be attached to either of his arms as a cannon, or it can be flipped around and have a sword attached to the rear of its turret. Like most convention exclusives, the electronics from this accessory have been stripped out to keep costs down.
