	: Released in the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)\| Energon]]'' Leader-class toys, Megatron transforms into a Cybertronic gunship, with a gear-driven [[Super Mode\|Hyper Mode]] that simultaneously unfolds his wing panels and reveals or extends various weapons; the instructions say to activate this feature by pulling on his translucent wingtips, but to avoid bending the plastic it is safer to do it by lifting up his opaque upper wing covers. In robot mode, Megatron greatly resembles [[Galvatron (G1)\|Generation 1 Galvatron]], with a pair of large pivoting shoulder cannons. While he features decent articulation, especially compared to the ''Armada'' Ultra toy, he has limited posability due to a top-heavy design and spring-loaded auto-transforming hands and feet.		: Released in the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)\| Energon]]'' Leader-class toys, Megatron transforms into a Cybertronic gunship, with a gear-driven [[Super Mode\|Hyper Mode]] that simultaneously unfolds his wing panels and reveals or extends various weapons; the instructions say to activate this feature by pulling on his translucent wingtips, but to avoid bending the plastic it is safer to do it by lifting up his opaque upper wing covers.

	: Megatron's primary weapon is a large tank, based on his ''Armada'' body, featuring a spring-loaded missile launcher and an out-of-place machine gun sound effect. The tank attaches to Megatron in either of his modes as a cannon, either mounting on his back in jet mode, or clipping to his arm in robot mode. Inserting and then removing the rear of the tank into the scabbard on Megatron's back draws out the sword blade stored there, and the tank can then attach to his arm to allow the Decepticon leader to wield the weapon. The sword's connection point is spring-loaded, so that when the blade is struck against something, it activates a sword-clashing sound effect and a red LED that illuminates the translucent blade.		: Megatron's primary weapon is a large tank, based on his ''Armada'' body, featuring a spring-loaded missile launcher and an out-of-place machine gun sound effect.

	: Rather than release the Leader Class ''Energon'' Megatron figure, Takara opted to instead produce a smaller version of "Galvatron", broadly equivalent to the Hasbro Mega Class toys, in the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)#Takara Super Link toyline\|Super Link]]''. This figure is a down-sized version of the Leader mold, with the same transformation, all the same features, new electronic sounds in the tank, and a lighter, more cartoon-accurate colour scheme.		: Rather than release the Leader Class ''Energon'' Megatron figure, Takara opted to instead produce a smaller version of "Galvatron", broadly equivalent to the Hasbro Mega Class toys, in the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)#Takara Super Link toyline\|Super Link]]''.

	: Marking the 20th anniversary of the Armada franchise, the second Leader Class figure in ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy: Evolution]]'', "Armada Universe Megatron" is a slightly-stylized and simplified version of his original ''Armada'' design, transforming into a Cybertronic H-tank. His [[Evo-Fusion]] ability replicates the original's Full Blast Mode, dubbed as a "chest-mounted Fusion Cannon" in his product description; his turret hinges outwards, granting it clearance to swivel to his front while the the barrels can be pointed forward. The tank turret is locked from having full rotation, being only able to spin about 255 degrees, though it stops at the diagonal-orientation most-often seen in the show. The static double missile launcher that flips forward for this mode has a swivel joint allowing it to spin on its own. These missiles also only flip to a 90 degree position rather than angling forward, as they seem to have only been designed with Full Blast Mode in mind. Similar to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Legacy\|Laser Optimus Prime]] from the same line, he has restricted arm movement as the shoulder pylons do not rotate, whilst the real arms start beneath the flap.		: Marking the 20th anniversary of the Armada franchise, the second Leader Class figure in ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy: Evolution]]'', "Armada Universe Megatron" is a slightly-stylized and simplified version of his original ''Armada'' design, transforming into a Cybertronic H-tank.

	: The front half of Megatron's tank barrel is detachable and can plug into his folded-in wrists via 5mm peg and port connection, the latter function designed to combine with accessories from the later released [[Tidal Wave (Armada)#Legacy\|''Legacy United'' Tidal Wave]] figure to form their combined mode without affecting the latter’s size. Here, the lowered position of the shoulder joints comes into play, as it allows Megatron to still move his arms while combined. (The troop transport component of Tidal Wave would have prevented the pylons from moving and thus made it impossible to move his shoulders.) Sadly, unlike the original figure, he doesn't come with a wrist-knife, although the shape of his left hand resembles that of the original toy. He also doesn't come with [[Leader-1 (Armada)\|Leader-1]], nor any means of attaching the original toy's Leader-1, but given that the other ''Armada'' figures in the ''Legacy'' toyline don't come with their respective [[Mini-Con]]s, that's to be expected. His antlers are fully removable, though they have a tendency to detach on their own. Although Megatron lacks all the extra features of his original toy, most of them are recreated via molded detail.		: The front half of Megatron's tank barrel is detachable and can plug into his folded-in wrists via 5mm peg and port connection, the latter function designed to combine with accessories from the later released [[Tidal Wave (Armada)#Legacy\|''Legacy United'' Tidal Wave]] figure to form their combined mode without affecting the latter’s size.

The CGI renders on the box depict the molded-in "launch pad" on the right-side forward hull protrusion as being fully painted orange, while all other stock photos and the actual toy color only a portion of it.

	: This version of Megatron has raised pentagonal plates with [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon insignias, apparently meant to be a callback to the original toy's sculpted insignias but modified for the sake of ease of manufacture. This is most likely to avoid needing an extra [[paint mask]] specifically for the shoulder insignias.		: This version of Megatron has raised pentagonal plates with [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon insignias, apparently meant to be a callback to the original toy's sculpted insignias but modified for the sake of ease of manufacture.

	: Galvatron's deco is directly based on the anime and Takara version of his original toy and thus lacks the scorch mark effects of the original Hasbro toy. His antlers are now not removable, having been glued in place so you can't steal them out of his open front packaging.		: Galvatron's deco is directly based on the anime and Takara version of his original toy and thus lacks the scorch mark effects of the original Hasbro toy.
