Talk:Megatron (RID)

Just out of curiousity, why is this included under the category of "Gods?" Unless I missed it, the article doesn't really mention anything of the sort about him being any kind of deity. - LBD Nytetrayn

IS their any REAL evidence for Dimensional/Time travel in RiD? I was under the impression that this was just a persistant but never substantieted net-legend. Both Megs page here and the Pred. page have references to travelling through time or dimensions. We have a sourse on that or does it need to be taken out?

None I'm aware of. Although I kinda like the concept as a sort of "mysterious history," so I wrote something vague about it into Megatron's profile for the R2 RiD DVDs. How'd that go... uh... something like, "Whispered rumours say that Megatron and his Predacons may have come from another place... another time... but in the here and now, one thing is clear - all of Earth's energy will be his, and not even Optimus Prime will stand in his way!" - Chris McFeely 01:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Currently, I suspect that the "interdimensional" thing came from the story blurb in the first Car Robots catalog, but I have yet to get appropriately-sized scans for translation of same. When I get both, I'll post them up here, just to have it clear either way. --Monzo 15:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Um, since when has Megatron Megabolt ever been known as an upgrade to RiD Megatron? I mean, there's little canon beyond his toy bio, but if it was intended as such, wouldn't it have been written as "Megabolt Megatron" (in much the same manner as "Powerlinx Hot Shot"), rather than the current? If anything, the odd way of parsing the name almost makes it sound like Megatron is as much as a title (akin to Prime) as it is a name. Just curious, is all.. --Terrocon Blot 07:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Megatron Megabolt's bio is clearly written to be RiD Megatron, and the toy was even released in Robots in Disguise packaging. There's... very little doubt about this. His identity has even been confirmed by Andrew Frankel, who pushed the toy into store exclusive status after Beast Machines ended, if you really have to have additional confirmation. --ItsWalky 07:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I had not known about the Frankel part. I thought someone was just connecting dots that weren't there. Like if someone were to suddenly shout "Banzai-tron is REALLY just Bludgeon!" because they're both martial artists who hang out with CRABS. But yes, thanks for clearing up the confusion.

Considering he's a Predacon who recently became a Decepticon (like in RiD), is focused on wanting to take over/conquer Earth (like in RiD), and transforms into a head which is called an "Emissary mode," referring to "Emissary," the name for Fort Max's head component in the RiD cartoon, AND is in Robots in Disguise packaging, I don't really see how the heck there's any confusion here to begin with. BW Megatron didn't want to do ANY of that stuff. All of those are direct, obvious connections to RiD Megatron. --ItsWalky 18:04, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I put that info in the article. You can count on me to stear clear of "connecting dots that aren't there." I hate that kind of specuation. --Crockalley 12:35, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, Siph wanted this deleted, but here it is for now.
