	[[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]]'s '''orbit disruptor cannon''' is, as you might imagine, a cannon which disrupts orbits. Any affected object will immediately cease orbiting its parent object and fly off into space. Its size means that the combiner [[Bruticus (G1)\|Bruticus]] is required to operate it, although it also has, for reasons unknown, a control panel at human height. And a large button marked "OVER LOAD".		[[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Megatron]]'s '''orbit disruptor cannon''' is, as you might imagine, a cannon which disrupts orbits.

During the battle, a [[B.O.T. (~~robot~~)\|human-controlled robot]] took control of the orbit disruptor cannon, turning it on the Decepticons before hitting the cannon's overload button.
