- A redeco of the Generation 2 Deluxe-sized "Hero" Megatron mold, Robots in Disguise Bludgeon transforms into an Abrams M1A1 assault tank. His main cannon uses an air-bladder to launch the hollow, rubber-tipped missiles he comes with. These missiles can be stored with pull-out clips on the sides of his turret, which become his robot-mode arms. Like wavemate Scourge, Bludgeon's tooling had significantly degraded in the intervening years, leading to inept factory repairs to the upper arm panels that prevent the figure from fully transforming unless they're sanded down.
- He and his fellow Destructicon Scourge were exclusive to the KB Toys store chain, released under the Robots in Disguise banner long after the series had been replaced with Armada, which explains why they used the same packaging style.
- While his package art shows him having two separate eyes (like the original release of the figure as Megatron), the actual toy has a red stripe painted across its nose to connect the eyes, making for a rather uneven eye "visor".
- Over time, the rubber portions on the missiles and hose degrade considerably faster than previous versions.
- Bludgeon himself was later repurposed as Yellow Megatron and as Shattered Glass Bludgeon. This mold was also separately used to make Generation 2 Archforce and retooled into Robotmasters Reverse Convoy/Rebirth Megatron, which was also repurposed as Blue Megatron.
