	* Megatron's dragon form looks like a patchwork cyborg rather than the smooth, reddish version it originally was; as we find out in subsequent episodes, this is due to a large number of failed experiments to rid his body of all organic elements. His robot form is altered to make it look more fully mechanical: the dragon wings form a cloak that hides his actual body, and he then plugs into a control harness that provides a larger helmet and arms that look completely mechanical.		* Megatron's dragon form looks like a patchwork cyborg rather than the smooth, reddish version it originally was; as we find out in subsequent episodes, this is due to a large number of failed experiments to rid his body of all organic elements.

	* Megatron is scarred across his right eye. Whatever did that to him between the end of ''Beast Wars'' and the start of ''Beast Machines'' is a mystery, which, to this day, has not been explained.
	* It is never explained why Megatron is unable to purge his beast mode. It would seem plausable all it would take is simply scanning a vehicle to receive a new alternate mode, or if anything has prevented him from discarding the organic elements, it is never revealed. After everything he experienced on Earth, from the [[Transmetal]]-creating [[Quantum surge]] to taking his legendary namesake's spark into his own body, any number of things might be the cause.		* It is never explained why Megatron is unable to purge his beast mode.
