Cutter Beam
The cutter beam is an ability used by Megatron in the RiD continuity family
The Cutter Beam was an ability used by Megatron (RiD). It was usualy voice activated, when it was it was fired from the crest atop Megatron's head. usually it was a yellow (or green) beam of energy but sometimes it appeared as lightning light bolts and even short busts. It may be related to a particle beam or it may not, who knows? (or cares?)
Animated contiuity
When Megatrons kidnapping of Dr. Onishi was interrupted by Optimus Prime (RiD), Megatron used his cutter beam to destroy building, burring Prime. Latter Megatron used his cutter beam on the Autobots after the Predacons failed a mission to destroy a Train. The cutter beam was used several times. It was last used to blast Prime and Ultra Magnus (RiD) but was never used again after that.
Tivia
interestingly, rarely was the cutter beam shown by stock footage instead, it changed appearance nearly every time it was used.
