Energon Sword
| This article is about the actual sword. For the fourth episode of the Energon animated series, see Megatron's Sword. |
- The Energon Sword is a weapon from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
Originally forged from the Spark of Megatron himself, Megatron's Energon Sword is a powerful bladed weapon, capable of knocking Autobots around with ease. On rare occasion, it's actually been used to cut things.
It's also been known as "Megatron's sword" and "the Star Saber", even though neither name makes any sense.
- Japanese name: Megatron Sword
Fiction
Energon cartoon
The sword was created from the ruined hulk of Megatron by Alpha Q, and given to Scorponok to wield in battle. The Autobots and Decepticons recognized it as Megatron's sword, which is quite a feat considering that Megatron had never used it before. Megatron's Sword
In the next battle, Signal Flare scanned the sword as Scorponok wielded it, The New Cybertron City allowing the Autobots to make many copies of it. Megatron Raid
Scorponok attempted to use the sword to kill the reviving Megatron, but Megatron simply reclaimed his spark from it. Megatron Resurrected
The Autobots continued to use the swords against him Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary, so Megatron recreated it into an even more powerful weapon. He used it once in battle, prompting Optimus Prime to pull "Hot Shot's blaster" out of his chest and shoot at Megatron. Energon Tower (episode)
Disgusted that the copies made by the Autobots meant his weapon was no longer unique, Megatron reformatted his sword into a larger, tank-shaped version. [citation needed]
Notes
- The Energon cartoon never once managed to get the name or origin of the sword right. It's first referred to as "the Star Saber", which is a different weapon entirely. It's then called "Megatron's sword", as if Megatron had used it before, which is not correct either. It's supposed to have been created from the spark of Megatron, hence everyone's recognition of its association with him, but this fact was among the countless plot points lost in the North American dub of the cartoon.
