You missing story point. Smart Megatron requires a teamwork, while crazy Galvatron can trust only himself. Plus Megatron didn't need an alt-mode upgrade, because, unlike cassete tapes and other things, guns aren't outdated, people still use them and know what they are doing. But american and most of european laws think that bad person smart enough to repaint realistic toy-gun, but not smart enough to make one(especially 3d print real working glock). And handgun is just unique item, because cars can drive themselves, tape recorders car record themselves, turrets can aim themselves, but HANDgun can't. Only good and smart leader can stand teamwork. And some people forgot that all that mess started because non-gun Megatron was announced in ss86 toyline. Accuracy to *THE* movie was the whole point. Also, there was Megatron's friend Kiloton, who transformed into revolver.
Gavatron cannon is my best form . It’s still having the “ gun” but since it’s a big cannon same size as other bots it’s a perfect finding the balance of both world . I wish one day in my life time seeing that cannon gavatron comes to live movie .
Just for clarity, my argument is that Megatron should have had a different alt mode from the start. I am not suggesting that they try to rewrite history. The SS86 version of Megatron should ABSOLUTELY be a gun. If the whole point is to be movie accurate, then there is no alternative. In my opinion, you have to either make the figure a gun too, or don't call it Studio Series 86.
Thank you for stressing this because I agree 💯%!!!! Just sell Megatron as a brand new Legacy leader class mold if he can't be in his Walther P 38 mold for the Studio Series because it completely defeats the purpose of being animation accurate!!!!
Megatron is a gun. Deal with it. Studio 86 can't do it right because they don't acknowledge that he's a gun. Gun now gun forever. By the way they're doing this to Shockwave too.
This wouldn't be an issue if not for America's far wider and deeper problems with gun controls and laws generally. But.. 1) We're not all IN America 2) It's a cartoon and a toy! FFS Airsoft is freely available and far more accurate than G1 Megatron ever was. I think you know what my view on what his alt mode should be! THAT SAID.... I will say that the Transformers Prime interpretation of the character is probably my favourite version of Megatron overall (and voiced again by the fantastic Frank Welker). His Cybertronian jet mode looks a bit odd even on screen as you can clearly see the top of his head, but it suits the changes to the character - more calculating, more threatening, more believable as a being who raised an army to overthrow a corrupt Autobot regime. But again, for any G1 based interpretation there is only one choice!
The truth is Megatron can be a gun, just not real looking one and rather a toy gun that stand out from being a real gun. Under law it isn't illegal to sell reproduce, and distribute a toy gun unless approved by the Secretary of Commerce and going by a standard set of rules.
They have a lot to deal with today that wasn't the case in the 80's. While I don't think that Megatron should have been a gun to begin with, I also don't believe that they should go back and change it now. If SS86 Megatron is supposed to represent the 86 movie, then he should be a gun.
I'm a 80s kid. But I'm okay with megatron has a tank mode. However. For the studio series 86 line, it's already confirmed that ss86 megatron alt mode is a tank because of the toy gun laws. But should he be in the studio series 86 line? Since he is no longer have a 86 movie accurate alt mode. But like i said, i don't mind he transforms into a tank. Just not sure if he should be in the studio series 86 line.
If we are not talking laws here. Megatron should be a gun for SS86. That's it. That was what he was like in the flick. No one is saying he should be a gun period. But if you want as accurate as possible, he turned into a gun and killed 3 autobots in the movie. You never going to please everyone but at least try to understand why people want the gun mold in this particular case.
I agree with this. I don't want to rewrite history or un-gun Megatron. My argument is that he shouldn't have been a gun to begin with. I think that as a character, he probably would have been better if he had started as a tank or jet. As for SS86, I agree 100%. He should be a gun because that's what he was in the movie. I can understand that Hasbro probably doesn't want the legal/social headache, but If he's not a gun, then they shouldn't call it SS86. That would be like making SS86 Bumblebee a Camaro.
@thekumitepod I'm not trying to disagree. I get ur point. Had he not been a gun, this was all settled but it is what it is and he's a gun for the 86 flick. On my last sentence, it was meant more for those who seem to have an issue with those who simply want the gun. My bad on how it sounds like I directed towards u.
The best alt mode is a tank, it just suits the character and makes the most sense to me. I think right now the best toy is the Combiner Wars Tank megatron. The Studio series Tank version that has been announced will probably be better. As an MP collector I hope someone does a tank mode Megatron in MP scale
There were plans in G1 to make megs a triple changer with tank and jet modes. Presumedly a retool of Blitzwing, but perhaps a new toy altogether. I don’t know if this was before or after the 86 movie.
@Mobythemerpup1515 dude i wasn't talking about the game yes its good yes his a good tank im fine with hover tank i just want my gun megatron back in my hands and not go through hoops to get the masterpiece one do you know how hard it is to get is in the states?!
@@tanaflameheart8883 I think He's not talking about the game. He was talking about the animated trilogy series "war for cybertron" Not "war on cybertron"
To me, G1 Megatron was so unhinged and dangerous that he would become a real gun just to be what destroys his enemies, something no other Transformer in the cartoon would do.
Megatron is a gun due to crash landing on earth...Shockwave never came to earth..he stayed on cybertron! Megatron major weakness was his gun mode that's why he didn't transform much but he was still dangerous
Megatron SHOULD be a gun
LOOK OUT EVERYONE! IT'S STARSCREAM'S TARGETMASTER!

Galvatron is just cool in general. I wonder if they could pull off a cannon version of Megatron using Galvatron's mold, but in Meg's original color.

Gun, NOT TANK.
I’d say Megs could have any alt mode. RID 2001 had the right idea of Megatron having multiple modes
@russellharrell2747 one wasnt even megatron, two i would be happier with a plane alt mode.
Actually, he was a tank in the 2020 animated trilogy (War On Cybertron)

Gun with tank chassis pre galvatron cannon mode

i carry a g1 megatron for the looks and a real p38 in the back just in case

His gun gode is way more powerful.
I %100 agree
4:37 beast Megatron superior, g1 megatron most inferior.
