Talk:Two Megatrons!

I still disagree that a Straxus-Galvatron ever existed. Straxus-Megatron dies and is never mentioned again nor is it ever hinted at that he is resurrected. My explanation for Galvatron being able to remember the events in Time Wars from back when he was Megatron is that it was actually the real Megatron in his memories allied alongside his real future self but somehow the real Megatron that became this Galvatron allied himself with Straxus-Megatron in this reality and not really his past self as he believes. There is nothing to indicate that the Megatron in Galvatron's memories is Straxus-Megatron. It really is the simplest explanation and requires very little being made up (whereas Straxus-Galvatron involves making a whole lot of stuff up to make it fit with no evidence for it in the comics to back it up). The reality that Galvatron remembers (where Galvatron kills everyone else) has little bearing on the main reality so even though the real Megatron participating in Time Wars does change events in the comics still, Galvatron winning still screws up events anyway so the reality in Galvatron's memories is probably a lot more different than the reality we do see (and involves no re-writing of the main continuity). But to confuse things still, if the future Galvatron did kill everyone then how did the '86 movie happen for Megatron to become Galvatron who then travels back in time for Target: 2006 and Fallen Angel? Another headache!

Also, I've seen some comic's pages on the wiki that link Megatron (who we know is revealed to be actually Straxus) to G1 Megatron instead of Straxus. Is this an error or intentional? I know Megatron was written to be the real Megatron originally before Mind Games/Two Megatrons was written but because of this reveal, I find it wrong to say that Straxus-Megatron is G1 Megatron.

There's never going to be any firm settlement of this matter because outside of this story the Straxus-Megatron was never explicitly identified and previously everything had been written on the assumption Megatron was the real thing. I don't find it at all difficult to assume there are timelines where the Straxus-Megatron was never exposed and went on to become Galvatron and the only thing that has to be accounted for is what happened to the original Megatron.

Galvatron's memories in Time Wars are suspect because the increasing number of paradoxes and the damage to his head are combining to push his sanity over the edge, so his "memory" of killing everyone is probably just a product of all this. Since Time Wars explicitly establishes that the timeline isn't set in stone, everything that comes afterwards doesn't necessarily impact on what was implied before.
