Megatron was originally a Dragon in Transformers The Last Knight #shorts
During the pre-production of Transformers The Last Knight, there was concept art done of Megatron as a Dragon. This was his originally intended alternate mode before being changed to the Cybertronian jet seen in the film.

Since they wanted to turn Optimus into a Knight, it would have been perfection to have a Knight fight a Dragon

[@mroscar7474]

That sounds amazing If the series had better writers, the whole Knights thing could have really taken off and sparked a new interest in transformers. Giant robot knights that turn into cool vehicles? Sign me up. It’s better than what we got for sure

It was definitely a homage to Beast Wars. There was even concept art for Optimus Primal in his gorilla form

[@patrickjones3546]

I was literally just thinking about something similar to his transformation from beast machines

[@dg7347]

thought the same, would've been a great way of tying in beast wars.

[@chrisl9934]

It's Beast Machines. Megatron was a T-Rex in Beast Wars. Anyway the Megatron in Beast Wars/Beast Machines is only related to the actual Megatron by name, they are 2 different entities.

[@Talon_Productions]

Its Beast Wars and Beast Machines. Megatron gets his Transmetal 2 dragon form towards the end of season 3 of Beast Wars.

[@dg7347]

@@chrisl9934 it was in beastwars too, also the movies are a completely different continuity so that megatron could have gained the dragon mode and it's not like animal forms are new to them.

[@hydreigoncommander2043]

I would've loved to see Optimus fighting megtatron as a dragon+robot (he would've probably transformed into a dragon halfway through the battle) for the final battle of that movie.

[@spv4711]

I mean Predaking from Transformers Prime is more my style

[@thedecepticonlogo938]

Would’ve made so much sense, with the medieval aesthetic, and the fact he flew in most of the other movies

[@GalvatronStudios]

It was a much better choice giving TLK Megatron a jet mode instead of a dragon mode because the jet speaks as a full circle kind of thing going all the way back to the 2007 movie

[@Talon_Productions]

Overall I do think that the jet mode was the way to go, even if I find the design a bit boring, but the dragon would have been super cool!

[@jn1dotcom]

they couldnt use a Dragon cos: 1. in real life, there is no Dragons to scan 2. guess they didnt choose it as He was a Dragon In beast wars Dinobots their skeletons was already there so they did not need to scan for a Dragon to be one.

[@DestroyerApollyon]

could have been a cool beast wars reference if they made the dragon mode more red

I know the last knight was horrible but you gotta admit it has some beautiful shots and scenes. It could’ve been the most beautiful transformers movie we got but sadly no.

[@PhoenixPrime]

That would’ve been AWESOME if they went through with that design!!! Holy SCRAP!!!!

[@Thick_Moist]

With that giant jet coming out of the back hell yes

[@TYSniper]

The dragon would have been a sweet throwback to Beast Wars. They could have even given the dragon a jet mode where it configures into a jet shape so he has the speed. There are so many things they could have done.

[@Sir_Mecha85]

Honestly, I think it would’ve been pretty satisfying to see Megatron transform into a dragon, it reminds me in the late 90s for the television show of beast wars, where he eventually turns into a dragon.

Forget that dragon. Make Megatron what he originally was.....a Fu#$ing gun.

[@Frigid_Kev]

Kinda impressive how they managed to carry over most of the original design and make a jet out of it, despite being intended for something else entirely

It's *Beast Wars* all over again!

[@lukeallan6527]

And yet... despite the robot mode tailored toward being a dragon with absolutely no jet mode parts, unique toys managed to make a physical toy that turns from his robot mode to a fairly accurate jet mode. Mindblowing engineering by these geniuses!

It's amazing what Unique Toys is able to do! I love all of their figures, Nero and Desperado are probably my favorites. Although I'll give credit to the TLK Voyager and Leader figures, they're pretty good too!

My guy, nothing on Earth looks like that. An F-22 is what Starscream turned into and looks nothing like this. Sure, it has more of a standard "jet" look than say his Cybertronian jet form in the 2007 movie, but this is still a Cybertronian jet.

Think of it this way...the dinobots and predacons are machine beasts as opposed to autobots/decepticons who are machine humanoids. While the humanoids use alternate form for traversal , the beasts on the other hand use humanoid form as an alt form to make it easier to socialize. So really the humanoid form is more of a disguise to them thats why they act dumb and beastly despite being in humanoid form
