Megatron X (BW)

Megatron X is a character from the Transformers Beast Wars: Transmetals portion of the Beast Era continuity family.

Aw, he has wingies!

Who or what is Megatron X? Nobody knows. While he possesses the likeness of Megatron's Transmetal body, albeit with a pair of wings, his relationship to the Predacon Commander is unknown. All that is known is that his body is constructed entirely from crystallized energon and his battle capabilities are off the charts.

If any Maximal or Predacon, including Megatron, reaches the end of their journey, Megatron X is there to challenge them, laughing. Once Megatron X is defeated, the challenger can finally move on with their plans, friendly or sinister. Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals

Notes

Unknown to Megatron, Megatron X is secretly his older brother, Rex, who ran away from home years ago!

• Regardless of what difficulty the game is set to up until the player's encounter with Megatron X, the difficulty level when battling with Megatron X is automatically set to "Very Hard".

• There is a way to play as Megatron X in the game, but not one that is really an option for North American home players. In the Japanese version of the game, Megatron X can be accessed by first unlocking Megatron's "Player 3" color scheme in "Metals Mode" ("Arcade Mode" in the US game), and then... making sure Duel Fight Transformers Beast Wars: Beast Warriors' Strongest Decisive Battle is inserted into the Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak. Oh well.
