Chopper Cut is a Decepticon drone from the Cyberverse continuity family.

The Chopper Cut is an attack helicopter bristling with weaponry. When transformed into spark armor, it gives Megatron some aerial superiority.

Fiction

Cyberverse cartoon

As part of Cheetor's trials to determine the owner of the AllSpark, he procured the Chopper Cut from parts unknown through a GroundBridge for Megatron's use. The Allspark turned the helicopter into armor for him, which he used to fight Optimus Prime and his own jet-themed upgrade. This lasted until Starscream managed to steal the Allspark, causing the armor to lose its power and fall off. Trials The Chopper Cut was later seen in its original form and in the cave it was left in as Starscream remarked that it wouldn't fit Sky-Byte, as he was already the undisputed predator of the skies.

Cyberverse Elite Class Megatron comes with the Chopper Cut, an almost voyager-sized helicopter with a free spinning rotor. Like all Elite Spark Armor vehicles, the accessory also has a unique built-in helmet. When flipping down the piece with the alternate head while attaching the Spark Armor, a spring-loaded gimmick is activated causing the propeller to spin and two additional arms to flip out, one with a built-in mace and the other you can attach the included Fusion Cannon to. This configuration causes the original robot arms to dangle awkwardly at the sides, but this can be remedied by bending the arms at the elbows to a 45-degree angle and rotating the lower arms until the fists point straight towards the back, streamlining the look of the armored robot mode.
In November 2019, TakaraTomy Mall released Megatron (and Grimlock) as a Cyberverse "Christmas Set" offer.
