Riot Cannon
| The name or term "Cannon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Cannon (disambiguation). |
It's not often a weapon comes along that will make Megatron consider trading in his fusion cannon, but the Riot Cannon is that weapon. Essentially a modified fusion cannon, it fires off high-speed rockets than can really put a crimp in someone's day. With the right upgrades, the last rocket in every clip packs an extra surprise, containing 5 times the explosive power of ordinary rounds.

Trivia
- When controlled by the player in Transformers: War for Cybertron, Megatron typically begins with a Riot Cannon equipped, which emulates the classic G1 Fusion Cannon. In cutscenes however, the Riot Cannon is mounted ONTO Megatron's right forearm in a more true G1 fashion, as opposed to his arm changing into the cannon like in gameplay.
- In Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, Megatron appears in his War for Cybertron design with the Riot Cannon mounted onto his left arm as opposed to his right. He never appears with the arm-mounted cannon in his new body however.
