Fusion cannon
| 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' hands, then.) Only Optimus Prime appears to be able to survive a shot from the fusion cannon, considering how many times Megatron has shot Prime.
It's unique sound-effect can best be described as "ba-WHOOMPH"
Fiction
Generation 1
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.
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...ya we don't question that.
Beast Wars
Megatron loved his fusion cannon so much, he had another fusion cannon installed on the Nemesis. Nemesis, Part 2
