Meg's New Look

[edit]

There seems to be some disagreement over Meg's new look. Instead of getting into a revert war and debate in the limited comment section for edits, figured we could hash it out here. I was the one who originally noted the Shadow Blade similarity. 110.33.205.174 agreed and added some more. Walky disagrees, and Detour points to the ATB Megatron. Personally, while I recognize the ATB and new Megatron share an alt mode, they don't seem similiar beyond that, since the new Megatron lacks the large amount of grey and purple parts and yellow highlights. This Megatron, like the Shadow Blade one, is almost all black with only some purple and grey highlights here and there. Granted, it may be that Roche's cartoonier style also contributed to the thought of "Shadow Blade!" in my mind, but even looking at it closer, I don't think there's a good argument against the Shadow Blade scheme being the closest fit by a good distance.

Honestly, it appears to me that his altmode and general blackness was inspired by ATB Megatron, but the purple detailing is way closer to Shadow Blade's than the occasional purple spots on ATB. Plus, ATB has much more grey. 72.35.60.2 11:06, 12 November 2010 (EST)
It's all just coincidence, except MAYBE the stealth bomber altmode. His blackness comes from the fact that he's a STEALTH BOMBER. The purple is either based on WFC's glowy lines, or is just Don trying to liven up his Gappy Movie Robots with some tricked-out neon lights. Either way, I'm going to need actual evidence that he's an homage before I add it to the issue or Megatron's article. --Detour 11:21, 12 November 2010 (EST)
Well, in Don's original sketch design on his DeviantArt, the colors were the typical Megatron grey and red... I wonder who made the decision to switch to the black/purple. I wouldn't be surprised by it being coincidence though. Magnusblitz 15:14, 12 November 2010 (EST)

Megatron's decisions

[edit]

Why would Megatron want to blast Rodimus when he has the Matrix? It was supposed to be precious to the Decepticons! Ed 13:45, 12 July 2012 (EDT)
