'''Megatron''' is one of the most powerful bots around. He can even link up to a [[black hole]] and draw upon extradimensional energy to increase his power. He is happy to demonstrate on anyone who challenges him. This includes, ''in particular'', bots who call him "Old Buckethead".
 
Should he require more power, Megatron also possesses a [[fusion launcher]] that he constructed himself, which he can use to take down a large number of opponents in a short amount of time.

:Part of the first wave of ''Bot Shots'' Series 1 Launchers, this is a [[redeco]] of the ''Bot Shots'' tank Megatron mold in bronze. He comes with a large "trailer" tank body extension that transforms into a battle station with flip-out cannons and a launching mechanism. The large, main cannon on the launcher has detailing reminiscent of the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s [[fusion cannon]], such as the "dials" on the sides.

:Part of the third wave of ''Bot Shots'' Series 1 single-packs, "Super Bot" Megatron is an extensive [[retool]] of [[Optimus Prime (BS)#Bot Shots|Optimus Prime]]. Cast in translucent dark green plastic, he transforms into a semi-truck with trailer, taking inspiration from the ''[[Kre-O]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Megatrons. He features a new grille, hood, and "trailer" section in truck mode, and a new head and chest in robot mode. Whilst virtually identical from the front, the head is not the same one used on the tank Megatrons, as it is molded as one part with the chestpiece. As a Super Bot, he has more lopsided stats (sorta), and was [[Shortpacking|shortpacked]] one per case.
 
:This mold was redecoed into [[Motorbreath]].

:''[[Bot Shots (toyline)#BeCool|BeCool]]'' "Tank Lorry" is a redeco of the ''Bot Shots'' truck Megatron mold in orange with metallic silver paint on his head, chest, windshield and tanker section. Instead of game stats, the stickers in his chest spinner feature drawings of his vehicle mode, a gas pump and a [[wikipedia:kanji|kanji]] character.

:"Hyper Tank" is a redeco of the tank Megatron mold in bright green that comes with the Hyper Tank Base, a dark green and bronze redeco of the Megatron Launcher. His chest stickers now display pictures of the launcher in base mode, Megatron pulling it in trailer mode, and a compass, and he also comes with an additional sticker sheet for decorating the trailer.
 
==Notes==
*Megatron's ability to link up to a black hole to gain power (and become a [[#BotShotSuperBot|Super Bot]]) is a reference to a similar ability that ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] possessed on the [[bio]] of his original toy.
