| The name or term "Cannon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Cannon (disambiguation). |
The Fusion Cannon is Megatron's ultimate weapon. It is attached to his right arm and is devastatingly powerful, as demonstrated by its sudden removal of Ironhide's head. (It's at least as powerful as Fortress Maximus's hands, then.) It strikes fear into the sparks of both the Autobots and the Decepticons, for any who challenge it will surely fail.
Except Optimus Prime. Only he appears to be able to survive a shot from the fusion cannon, considering how many times Megatron has shot Prime.
Fiction
Generation 1
Marvel Comics
Presumably, this cannon is powered by some sort of nukular nuclear fusion reaction. Sometimes Megatron has been able to link up extradimensionally to a black hole to augment this power, increasing it astronomically, and making him look real cool and space-rippy in the process. Most bodacious!
Galvatron had a big cannon, too, but it didn't work by fusion.
Generation 2
As part of an agreement with Cobra, Megatron's body was rebuilt to resemble a human tank, with his fusion cannon being replaced with a magnetic rail gun.
Generation 1 cartoon
Megatron could remove his cannon from his main body. One time, Brawn stole it from him and used it against him. Megatron was not amused. Fire on the Mountain
Fusion cannons are also oddly useful when you just wanna kick your lieutenant for shooting you in the back but don't want to have to walk over to him...yeah, we don't question that. More Than Meets the Eye, Part 3
IDW
The fusion cannon was a gift from Starscream Megatron Origin issue 4. How ironic how Megatron decided to pay him back a few hundred thousand years later by blowing a huge hole in his torso Infiltration issue 6.
Beast Wars
- Megatron loved his fusion cannon so much, he had another fusion cannon installed on the Nemesis. The blast radius from the weapon is massive. Most kickass. It requires a power up time to fire again. Less kickass. Nemesis Part 2
- Although not Megatron's, according to Beast Wars, the Ark's cannon was a fusion cannon. The Agenda (Part III)
Beast Machines
Megatron's personal chariot, Mechatron, comes equipped with a fusion cannon to nullify any accursed Maximal that comes across.
Transformers (2007 Film)
Megatron's cannon is presumably telescopic, as he keeps it stored in his left arm when not in use. Its powerful blast is enough to knock Optimus Prime back three city blocks and requires Megatron to use both arms to steady the aim. Because Megatron is always concerned about collateral damage. Transformers
Animated
Megatron's iconic cannon served admirably as a cutting torch when Megatron sought to gain access to the Autobots' ship. [1] Transform and Roll Out!. It was last seen repeatedly killing the newly-immortal Starscream.
