I’ve always found it funny the transformer that was ripped apart to rebuild Megatron was literally called Scrap Metal. Talk about a fitting name

[@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD]

His name was his purpose

@@taariq7481 it’s especially funny coming from Scalpel which looks like one of the smallest, if not the smallest transformer, seen in the films (not including that brain worm he carries with him and Earth devices that turn into transformers after being exposed to the power of the cube of course).

I love the G1 designs but I love some bayverse designs even more. I very much prefer the spikey gladiator look on megatron. My favorite megs designs are TLK, TF1, and Transformers Prime

[@doomfry680]

ACTUALLY he got his tank mode because when he was revived, Starscream threw a bday party for the bdays his missed while he was dead and one of his gifts was a little toy tank and he liked it a lot so he chose his next alt mode to be that tank

Huh, I always thought while yes, he had to lose the jet mode, that this tank form was just one of his old modes, hence why he seemed much more dangerous with it toward the end of the film. He had to readjust to an old version of his body also hence why he got his tailpipe handed to him by prime in the forest.

I noticed that when I had over 80% of the video recorded, ill make sure this doesn't happen in the future vids

I always thought his shoulder was bigger because of the lobster claw arm so he cam maintain balance while using it. If you keep your optics on Megatron he's having a hard time trying to use his lobster arm.

I feel like the shoulder was to accomodate his new weapons considering how much more kick it had and due to it being on his arm the shoulder was used to weigh it down their for meaning megatrons arm wouldn’t be thrown back as much and could use his weapon more effective also it would accomodate the sword giving him more weight behind his swings
