[edit]Armored Corps was the warden at Garrus-7, where Devil Gigatron was held after his defeat by the Autobots. Dissatisfied with the bureaucracy of the prison and his dead-end job, Armored Corps fell for Gigatron's charisma, turning over to the Predacons, bringing along his second-in-command, Stealth Saber; Stealth Saber's Amica Endura, Victory Bomber; and the four members of the Scoutforce. When Devil Gigatron was upgraded by Devil Z to Gigatron Z, he broke free, and the eight Predacons went on a rampage, eventually facing against Fire Convoy and his troops. Whatever the conclusion of that conflict, Armored Corps ended up in Axiom Nexus, where he drunkenly babbled his backstory to Spacewarp. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/27

- Armored Corps is a Korean reissue of Beast Wars Megastorm, redeco of the first Generation 2 Megatron toy (which had not been released in Japan previously) that transforms into a large combat tank. In both modes, his main cannon stocks up to six missiles, and gravity slides the next missile into place when one is fired. Megastorm lacks the electronics present in the Generation 2 toy, however. He has also been negligibly retooled to accommodate a Predacon rubsign in his tummy.
- The most immediately-noticeable visual difference between Megatron and Armored Corps is that the purple camo pattern of the former has been rendered a more sensible olive on the latter. Black paint has been applied to the panels surrounding Megastorm's eyes, matching his cartoon appearance. The shoulder insignia decals have been updated to show the Predacon symbol and the text "Destron", though still on the bright orange background of the originals. Like his predecessor, he includes a "Big Stick" decal that wraps around the fume extractor of his main cannon, though instead of "Eat this, Autobots!", the other side carries Megatron's original motto, "Peace through tyranny".
Notes
[edit]- While Armored Corps comes in an Autobot-labeled box, he still retains all of his Predacon insignia.
- The Korean pronunciation given does not match the actual "core" pronunciation of "corps", but the Sonokong releases are fraught with such errors with misleadingly spelled words, such as "Match Kick" and "Autolanecher".
