Talk:Megatron (BW)

Untitled

[edit]

Y'know the BW Meg's was probably the most successful of all Megatron's. The guy managed to kill Optimus 3 time in his career, nearly rewrote all of history and managed to completely dominate Cybertron for a brief time.

Also, he never took to calling himself Galvatron when he changed. I give him bonus points for that. --Octopus Prime- King of the Road! 13:32, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

...he had a Cybertron toy? -Derik 01:04, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, silly me, I forgot that the new BWX toys wern't cybertron, I'll edit them back to the way they were.X-BoB58 01:14, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Does anybody else notice in Beast Wars he had the obsessive habit of saying 'Yesss' repeatedly in every episode? I think it is his favorite word, or he needs self-reassurance of everything that he says.Snarl7 15:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm just curious if anyone else finds it that all references to David Kaye or Megatron with yes in it have it where the end is elongated, and not the middle (as 'yeess') because that's basically how it is said. With it like 'yessss' it makes him sound like a snake or something. Just throwing that out there.AWT88 16:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Continuity

[edit]

That Table of Contents doesn't look right to me. This section:

  1. 1.1 American animated continuity
   * 1.1.1 Timelines: Dawn of Futures Past
   * 1.1.2 Dreamwave Comics continuity
   * 1.1.3 Beast Wars
   * 1.1.4 Tales of the Beast Wars
   * 1.1.5 IDW Beast Wars: The Gathering comics
   * 1.1.6 Beast Machines
   * 1.1.7 3H Universe Comics

Seems like it should be broken down more. I mean, I'm not sure how exactly, but all of that stuff isn't really part of a single continuity, is it? --KilMichaelMcC 18:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I think the DW comics bit will be retconned out by this year's Timelines set, so I think we can move that eventually. And IDW's BW series may eventually write itself out of continuity. Otherwise, yes. --ItsWalky 18:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
The IDW and 3H comics are part of a single continuity? I didn't think they were compatible with each other. --KilMichaelMcC 19:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Furman has stated that theirs is in-continuity with the show, but in a separate timeline than previous material. Of course, that means nothing until there are actually irreconciliable differences, and I don't believe that's happened happened yet. When that day comes, I will gladly put IDW's material in its own subheading. (From what I understand, the Timelines story will try to reconcile with both 3H and IDW's material through non-contradiction, if not outright affirmation.) --ItsWalky 19:32, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
You mean like 3H's Primaeval dawn (set after Beast Wars) being 180,000 years ago, and IDW's series (during BW) being set 70,000 years ago?
Contradictions like that? -Derik 19:36, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Right. That doesn't bother me. --ItsWalky 20:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, the Japanese Micromasters stuff places BW at 3 million years ago. So it's nothing if not conflicted.
(I tend to agree BTW, while the different dates indicate the two versions of events are not in strict continuity with one another, there is nothing that keeps the events of one from more-or-less happening in the other- yet.) -Derik 20:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Is there a page somewhere that lays down how all the continuities, series, etc. should be subdivided? I'm definitely in agreement with Kil that the mess of little BW continuities shouldn't be lumped together in chronological order as though they were all meant to fit. Here's how I would do it:
Fiction
   Mainframe animated continuity
      Beast Wars
      Beast Machines
   Japanese continuity
      BWII catalog
      BW Metals manga
      BW Reborn manga
      Robot Masters
   3H comics continuity
      Omega Point
      Universe
   Dreamwave comics continuity
   IDW comics continuity
   Timelines continuity
I lump all the Japanese stuff together because I don't know how they fit or don't fit. They might need to be separated further.
The only logic I can see to the current setup is that all of those series do share the BW toon as a starting point. But there's almost no concordance (and a fair bit of contradiction) between the various offshoots. So presenting them all mushed together in a shoehorned "chronological order" is more headache-inducing and just plain misleading than breaking them out.

Yea, hell If I had my way on this wiki, there would be no divide between US and Japan continuity, X-BoB58 18:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

The problem is- that strategy only works while everything meshes smoothly. With BWMegs, we actually have parts of the US continutiy that are dropping out- at which point it becomes irresponsible to nto seperate other non-central material.
Some of ythese characers/backstories/histories are so complicated that all you can do it try to present it in a format where the reader a) is able to get a general impression b) is able to make their own judgement on the material, based on the division you made-- what fits with what, etc. -Derik 19:12, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
And thank God you never will, X-Bob. - RolonBolon 21:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


S1 VS set

[edit]

Was it ever defined if the red Batimus and purple Megagator were the same characters as Primal and Megatron? Also, are we going to list the first BW Primal and Megs toys as versions of G1 Prime and Megs, because they are if you go by the specs.

They're BW Megs/Primal, I'm told. It says "OPTIMUS PRIMAL" and "MEGATRON" behind their recolored-CGI-commercial packaging art. Also, as I'm typing this, their cards also seem to mention "trailer truck" and "Walter P38", but in what context, who knows. So, uh, hold that thought. --ItsWalky 00:37, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Japanese Background

[edit]

Derik pointed me in the right direction of the story page which was printed in a toy catalogue, featuring the background history between Megatron and Galvatron (BW). I didn't know where to place this in the article, as it was a single story page from a catalogue rather than a typical manga magazine and didn't seem worthy of it's own little section. I did what we do to seperate the Marvel US and UK stories with italics. If any of you can think of a better place to cram it, feel free. --DrSpengler 23:32, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I had friend of mine (a native Japanese speaker) look at the story page(s) from the catalog, and I've adjusted both Megatron and Galvatron's pages accordingly. Here, for future reference, are the pages and translations:

Page 1

"The stage of the battle moves on to the Second War... Beast Wars, Transform!"
"Around the same time that Convoy and Megatron were locked in their death struggle... in the far reaches of the galaxy, on a planet located in the Solar system, a Cybertron space patrol and Destron armored platoon begin battle!! What is the ultimate weapon "The King of Angolmois" that sleeps in the ancient ruins of this planet? In the seventh month of the Space Year 1999, will the heroic Cybertrons win!? Or will it be the evil Destrons!? Now, you too must participate in the new Beast Wars!"

Page 2

Speech bubble emanating from Megatron says: "This guy is the Destron New Emperor of Destruction, Galvatron!"
Quote from Galvatron: "Your era is over, Megatron!"
Main paragraph (apparently narrated by Megatron): "When I was on planet Seibertron, I once disagreed with Galvatron over our opinions on space conquest, and we battled."
"At the time, I let down my guard and was defeated!"
"Although he is ambitious, he also cares for his underlings, and although I do not enjoy saying this, he probably has all the regal bearing of a new Emperor of Destruction."

Page 3

Speech bubble emanating from Convoy says: "Let me introduce the new leader of the Cybertrons, Lio Convoy!"
Quote from Lio Convoy: "Leave the rest to me, Convoy Sempai!"
Main paragraph (apparently narrated by Convoy): "He had been an ace in the Cybertron Space Patrol. He's strong and brave, and furthermore is kind: an ideal leader. He has a tendency to be too straight-forward, but I hope that he'll do his best for peace in space. I'm leaving it to you, Lio Convoy!"

Ta da. --Monzo 23:33, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Control Art

[edit]

I question not only the placement of the control art, but, well, if it really needs to be there at all. I'm not sure what having the art there is FOR. --68.189.152.138 07:41, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

It's placement next to the TOC is (relatively) unobtrusive, but I agree, its purpose in beign there is kinda mysterious.
I love the pic of Megatron's spark figure though. -Derik 15:07, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I came here expecting to edit an image caption into something funny, but it seems true masters have already been at work here. Well done. --Andrusi 22:50, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

The "Dinosaur Comics" bit is SHEER GENIUS. --Salt-Man Z 22:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Timelines?

[edit]

Is there any reason why the Timelines Megatron from Botcon isn't listed amongst his toys? --74.57.3.251 21:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

this may have nothing to do with the artice but...

[edit]

you just HAVE to see this. watch at 2:47, 2:49, and 5:43. fuuuunny stuff.[1]

Just to let everyone know, I saw this remark after I put a link to that video on the page. The Big Q 17:26, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


It is funny but what episoden was it where he was brushing his teeth Chromia 16:40, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Dah dah huh

[edit]

Ok. don't get it...User_talk:GWolfv2

I'm not sure as I didn't add it, but I'm gonna assume that it's the repetitive percussion/bass-line from the first movement of Gustav Holst's suite, "The Planets," entitled "Mars: The Bringer of War." Then again, it could be Vader's theme or whatever it's called from Star Wars. I feel much better assuming it's "Mars," but until someone owns up to it, I don't know.208.104.144.58 16:22, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Whatever it is, it is so unclear to anyone besides the original author as to be useless, so I ganked it. This, frankly, is a developing problem with how our humor policy has been used. If no one gets it, by definition it is not funny. --Thylacine 2000 14:23, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Split time?

[edit]

This article's getting long. Time to split off the toy section, perhaps? Is that gonna screw up a bunch of links? -- Repowers 15:40, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Robot Heroes

[edit]

Couldn't we put in images of the Robot Heroes Megatron vs. Rattrap and Transmetal Megatron vs. Silverbolt? I mean, the images are on Hasbro. -- 206.253.51.107 11:22, 8 August 2008

Dimishing his accomplishments?

[edit]

Is it just me or have recent media really been determined to make Megatron's accomplishments less impressive than they were during the TV series? Thanks to 3H, FunPub and Furman, Megatron's plot to steal the golden disk turned out to be Cryotek's idea, who also invented the transformation-lock virus thing and helped Megatron take over Cybertron prior to BM. Then thanks to the Ascending series, it turns out that Megatron didn't even conquer a full-powered Cybertron, but rather a weakened Cybertron on the brink of chaos thanks to Shokaract and the Anglomois debacle (which was also responsible for him getting freed from the Autobot shuttle early)... I dunno, it just makes ol' grapeface here seem less impressive and more a mere opportunist who's got a good case of dumb luck. --Detour 21:50, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah...no. Megs took Cryotek's paln, and turned it around so Megs got away and Cryo got arrested. And one Transformer taking the entire Cybertronian race out is phenomenal. Sorry, Megs is King of Schemes. GWolfv2 23.33 15th Aug
I actually brought it up in an edit summary, and got a response from Walky. —Interrobang 22:45, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
G1 Megs was a scientist in his own right- not in Starscream's glass, but respectable enough to formulate his own inventions, solo.
BW Megatron wasn't a renaissance 'bot like that- that was never his appeal. He was a cockroach. You COULD NOT KILL HIM. You think you've got him on the ropes, think you've deprived him of his support, underlings, resources etc... and he'd somehow END UP ON TOP AGAIN. Really in the last 5 years or so I've seen this kind of villain get more lve from fiction- the kind of guy who can make you crap your pants whenever he shows up-- who is not diminished by his many defeats (many villain's weight or threat hinges on their unbeatableness.) BW Megs is crap-your-pants dangerous, no matter how many times you defeat him. And he will always escape to fight again.
You know he's alive, right? He was seen in Universe. A whiole planetful of people in new bodies, no one knows who's who... everyone thinks Megatron's dead... and he's loose in the system.
Defeating him utterly makes him more dangerous, not less. Look at how BW ended. ...and as a result he conquered all of Cybertron. -Derik 23:20, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Megatron/Iguanus basic fig

[edit]

Iguanus' article says that he's a retool of Megatron. Megatron's article says that he's a retool of Iguanus. Which is it?--RosicrucianTalk 15:04, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

They came out at practically the same time, more or less, so... the world may never know. If I had to cast a vote, I'd guess the special 2-pack came first, making Iguanis the retool. -- Repowers 15:23, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Main article pic

[edit]

Is it a guide rule that we have to use season 1 character bodies for BW characters? Just cos I think that the previous picture was cooler (although my view is coloured by the fact that his TM1 body is my favourite body for Megs) LiamK 05:40, 25 January 2009 (EST)

Yeah, the TM1 pic was infinitely cooler than the current one. I'm pretty sure its badassery was half the reason it had the "Best. Megatron. Ever." caption, which just doesn't fit with this one. (The other half being that he was, pending Animated Megatron.) I'm guessing there isn't a hard and fast guide, considering the main pic on Brawl (Movie). The differences betwen vanilla Megs and TM1 megs in non-beast mode are pretty low-key anyway, compared to the other characters' differences and TM2. --Fleb 23:17, 4 May 2009 (EDT)
The previous main pic was several million times better. I don't know why it was replaced with the current silly-looking one, but really it should be changed back. --KilMichaelMcC 23:21, 4 May 2009 (EDT)
It is a general guide-rule that we use first toy bodies for main pictures, although I don't think it's's actually codified anywhere. (Brawl's Cyber Slammers artwork is technically still artwork of him in his original body.)
The current main pic is the best I could come up with for art of Megatron's original show form. I do have much better Japanese art of Megs in his crocodile form (and Primal in his bat form), but nobody seemed very keen on this when I brought it up before. (I'm also not personally super-keen on the Guido pic because it's kinda dark.) --Monzo 23:52, 4 May 2009 (EDT)
I find that Megatron did most of the stuff that makes him such a good Megatron in his Transmetal body. I'm all for restoring the Transmetal image. --FortMax 00:05, 5 May 2009 (EDT)
I threw a tiny fit at Monzo when he first took it down. My feelings stand! --ItsWalky 00:08, 5 May 2009 (EDT)
I prefer the Transmetal art, as well. As much as I like Yoshioka, that art doesn't capture Megatron's Western personality well at all (though it is a fine example of his goofier Japanese persona). So yeah, bring back the Guido. --DrSpengler 11:21, 5 May 2009 (EDT)
Bring back the awesome, shiny dino! The caption fits so much better with that pic, that's all I'm gonna say.--AWT88 12:05, 5 May 2009 (EDT)

Did that new Megatron pic come out of a coloring book? Bring back the last one. Seriously. --Vicious 02:27, 6 June 2009 (EDT)

Courtesy link. Apparently it's a Japanese sticker. (An anonymous reverted it already.)--fleb 01:59, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

...and got reverted back. Potty-mouth anon did have a point. [the manga-Megatron pic is deleted now: are images that aren't linked anywhere not supposed to stay uploaded or something?] --fleb 02:14, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

Another vote here for the Transmetal pic. It captures his personality quite well, it shows him the form wherein he accomplished many of his defining moments, and it's just an excellent pic. -- Repowers 02:19, 9 June 2009 (EDT) We need a better one then this sticker, I think the new sticker one looks horrible. Dead Metal 03:06, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

Change it back to the TM picture. The primary purpose of a main pic should be to best represent the character, whether said character is in its original form or not is irrelevant. --KilMichaelMcC 03:16, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

Change it back to the TM picture. The primary purpose of a main pic should be to best represent the character, whether said character is in its original form or not is irrelevant.
No, it is relevant. I know it's not written up anywhere - as far as I know - but we always try to make sure the main pic is an image of the first toy body a character used when appearing in fiction. It's why we moved the Stormbringer/Classics image for Jetfire down to his fiction section, offhand, and I'm sure it's occurred elsewhere. (Yes, I know this isn't the greatest example, because there is no actual useable art of Jetfire's toy-body.)
So while I love Transmetal Megatron, his accomplishments mean zilch to me in this argument because Beast Wars Meggy spent twenty-six episodes with a tyrannosaur head at the end of his arm.
I also honestly do not understand the problem people have with the picture I put up. How in any way is the art bad? He's not floating in space or grabbing for someone's purse or anything. He looks like he's supposed to, standing in a neutral pose, colored correctly and uniformly lit. The Guido pic has lighting issues all over the place because it wouldn't fit on the scan-bed of whoever scanned it - Rampage is basically a dark blotch!
There IS the fact of the matter that there is very little good artwork of Megatron's original Beast Wars body; believe me, I've looked. I suppose there is his Sourcebook artwork, but I honestly don't like it as much as the picture I put up. --Monzo 03:59, 9 June 2009 (EDT)
I dig the Japanese art. It's got my vote. --Detour 04:13, 9 June 2009 (EDT)
No, it is relevant. I know it's not written up anywhere - as far as I know - but we always try to make sure the main pic is an image of the first toy body a character used when appearing in fiction. Well, then I'm saying it shouldn't be relevant. --KilMichaelMcC 04:22, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

If you want specific objections: The current image is a static, much more boring pose than the dynamic (and therefore awesome) Transmetal one. This pic just has no personality, and doesn't capture Megatron's. --fleb

Ugh. The current artwork is horrible. Can we revert and could someone with a copy of Generations acquire a better scan? That would seem to be the best of both worlds. --Emvee 06:54, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

It's Genesis. And it's hella rare. --Detour 14:46, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

Eh, I haven't liked Monzo's other replacement, but this one's inoffensive enough. --ItsWalky 14:52, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

I just saw a bit of Robot Masters, and there are manga scans on the beginning of that episode 2. And I think Megatron looks rather good in those. So if anybody has those mangas he could scan in the best full body pick of Megatron and we'd be happy.Dead Metal 08:47, 11 June 2009 (EDT)


If a better version can be provided, I nominate this as Megatron's new mainpic. --Detour 00:48, 14 June 2009 (EDT)

Like this? --Jeysie 01:13, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
Sure, that works! Any objections to the Gathering cover being Megatron's main article image? --Detour 01:25, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
I have Genesis, but I always hated that particular piece of artwork, so I'm just popping in to inform everyone I'm choosing to be unhelpful in this matter. -Derik 01:17, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
Aww, well thank you Derik. BTW, how well does sarcasm translate when it's written?--AWT88 01:36, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
And sure, The Gathering cover looks better than the one there now. He did more episodes in his original body, executed his grandest schemes in his Transmetal one, and conquered Cybertron in his Transmetal 2 body. All we have to do is get rid of the text and it'll be golden. (Sorry about not writing this earlier.)--AWT88 01:40, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
If we can't get a pre-lettering version, here's an edit: Image:Beastwarsmegatron-thegatheringcover.jpg -- Repowers 02:22, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
Why the fuck didn't I think of this? I mean I have the damn cover at home, in a bad, standing up so I can look at it whenever I sit at my desk right next to my PC I'm posting from now.Dead Metal 15:01, 12 July 2009 (EDT)
I really don't like this as a main pic, either. For starters, my eyes are immediately drawn to the empty space in the lower left corner. Plus, I don't care for the whole "standing next to myself, and my other self" vibe that doesn't (to me) convey the sense that this is one character and not three. --KilMichaelMcC 15:29, 12 July 2009 (EDT)
I tend to agree with Kil. I knew of this art, but decided against it, for composition reasons and because I don't like it very much. It's basically three versions of Megatron sort of floating there looking all kinds of confused. If we use it, the caption kind of has to be "Dur?" "Dur?" "Dur?" --ItsWalky 15:37, 12 July 2009 (EDT)
Doesn't the US DVD has like the character models as extras? I mean someone who has it could select Megatron's and screen shot him from a good clear angle. Dead Metal 15:41, 12 July 2009 (EDT)
Well, here you go! I like the top one, myself.
(I continue to throw my vote behind the sticker art. However, as the Don art at least features Megatron's original body, I take somewhat less of an issue with it.) --Monzo 17:49, 12 July 2009 (EDT)
WTF? That's like toy-accurate and horrible. I thought the DVDs had the show models and not the unused toybased ones.
I also am satisfied enough with the sticker art. Why was it removed? Am I just going to have to pick one and lock this page so we don't spend half our time arguing over this stuff? --ItsWalky 18:11, 12 July 2009 (EDT)

I really like the current one (7/24/09) with the three bodies from the show. For what it's worth. --Jimsorenson 09:59, 24 July 2009 (EDT)

I think that part of the problem is that people are having different arguments. Some are saying "Megatron did his coolest stuff in his TM1 form, so we should use that", while others are saying "main caption pics should be of the character in their original (toy) form". Maybe we should decide if that's an actual rule, or just a suggestion? LiamK 12:55, 29 July 2009 (EDT) Monzo 21:53, 17 December 2009 (EST)==Main Pic Discussion==

T-rex head looks like actual T-rex parts instead of some weird slogmonster's.

Vote seems the most intelligent thing. Cause we ALL know what's gonna happen

I say DON. The stickerfun one is ridiculous, his face looks like he was hit in the face with a frying pan. The Don one is dynamic, well drawn and very endearing. Also, with the caption, you need a very eye catching image. To be quite frank the best one was the TM one. But since the policy is it has to include the original body, unless you can find a good, dynamic, well drawn image a hell of a lot better than that stickerfun piece of crap...User:Eire 1.52 Dec18 09 (UTC_

I really like the hand-drawn Takara art that was the original replacement. The Don art offends me since the T-rex parts are so terrible-looking (Don no good at animals), plus it has no character to any of it. But the hand-drawn Takara full-body shot of his first form has an evil smile on the face that I think is very suitable. --ItsWalky 21:00, 17 December 2009 (EST)
TM1 pic. Characterization > first body rule. (Sticker Book Megs just looks... mildly amused.) -- Repowers 21:22, 17 December 2009 (EST)
Yeah, I'm going to have to vote to just return the damn thing to the TM1 pic that was there for forever and was awesome anyway. - Chris McFeely 21:27, 17 December 2009 (EST)
I gotta go with Walky on this one. The 3 body picture has too much going on, the stickerfun cover doesn't show enough, the TM isn't his first body. Unfortunately this one isn't all that great, it reminds me of a coloring book picture done by a 10 year old. But it's the best choice (my opinion) of a bad lot. Khajidha 21:36, 17 December 2009 (EST)
I bought the book the sticker art was in, scanned it, cleaned it up, and uploaded it in the first place. You know what I'm voting for.
And... Rob, Chris, I don't like the... future possibilities suggested by using the Transmetal art, on top of it having been a lousy scan. To quote LV, as soon as we allow "this shows the character when he was the best", the gates are open. There IS the sourcebook art ( http://obscuretf.com/BWMegsSourceBook.jpg ), as I mentioned, but I don't think the art is as good as Yoshioka's. (Frankly, I'm starting to think I should throw in with the Gameboy art http://obscuretf.com/BWMegsGameboy.jpg.) --Monzo 21:42, 17 December 2009 (EST)
Okay, actually, I like the Sourcebook art better. I change my vote. --ItsWalky 21:48, 17 December 2009 (EST)
Well, I do like the sourcebook art more than the Don art. I can agree with using it if it comes down to it. --Monzo 21:53, 17 December 2009 (EST)
Sourcebook. Best Megatron mainpic EVER. Yessssss. --Detour 22:32, 17 December 2009 (EST)

Much as I'm inclined to say "fuck the first body rule when it causes more complications than it's worth," the Sourcebook art does the job nicely. Surprisingly that the Sourcebook would *resolve* a problem. X-P - Chris McFeely 09:23, 18 December 2009 (EST)

I agree with Detour and Jeysie. I dislike the current one - Hellscream3986 4:50, 26 December 2009 (EST

Detour and Jeysie were disliking an image we had like 30 edits back. I'm not so sure you're in lockstep with them currently. --ItsWalky 20:02, 26 December 2009 (EST)
Yeah, right now I fully support the current mainpic, although I'm a bit less supportive of the caption since I feel Animated Megatron easily ties with him now. --Detour 20:13, 26 December 2009 (EST)
Hmm? Actually, I don't have an opinion one way or another (a rare thing, I know...) Just that Detour had been looking for a larger version of something, and I knew where to find one. --Jeysie 21:59, 26 December 2009 (EST)

Requiem of the Wreckers cameo

[edit]

Should this go to the IDW 2005 section or a section of its own? Not sure if he is the IDW version, cartoon version or something else (I think it's likely the cartoon version tho, considering the cameos from other series').--Primestar3 (talk) 10:47, 28 October 2020 (EDT)

As discussed here, we've ended up with G1 Megatron's Beast Wars bodies in both the toy and gallery tabs but the relevant microcontinuity where they actually represent him entirely localized here. Now the solution we ended up workshopping on the Discord was porting the info over to the gun guy and leaving mainlinks to it here or vice versa. Thoughts? -AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 20:02, 14 July 2021 (EDT)

I'm all for it. The fiction makes it clear that Gator Megs is the original, so G1 should be the primary place where the fiction lives. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:07, 14 July 2021 (EDT)
