Mechatron is one of the Beast Riders, created by Megatron to hunt down any straggling Transformers and collect their sparks. Fashioned from sinister recycling, Mechatron is Megatron's personal transport (although Mirage has been seen riding it). Despite his master's fanaticism against organics, Mechatron is shaped in the visage of Megatron's dragon head, owing to one of Megatron's failed attempts at removing his beast mode. Despite his look, he is wholly mechanical.
Mechatron's sole purpose is to plow through resistance, with his two flame-throwers and a fusion cannon at his disposal. He is also equipped with a spark extractor that can tear out the laser core of a Transformer.

- Mechatron is a roughly-Deluxe-level chariot-style vehicle with a twin spring-loaded missile launcher in its mouth. Pushing down on the top of the dragon's muzzle activates a gear-motor that propels the chariot forward once released. A pair of claws can be swung forward to each side of its gaping maw; once locked in place, the gear-drive mechanism also spins the clawed arms in a drill-like fashion. The very back of the dragon's head has a flip-up (non-firing) double blaster and geared claw; the claw is used primarily to secure a rider on the platform (most Basic-class figures fit nicely), but can also be used to simulate a spark extractor.
- Mechatron was initially available in red and blue, colors very similar to his master Megatron. Later releases, however, gave Mechatron a shocking purple, yellow and copper coloration, though the packaging was not changed in any way to reflect this.
