He should stay a Jet thats my only concern. The best way of transportation for a badass leader!

 

THIS! Is what megatron should be. A tank bounds him to SLOW transportation. A plane fast and quick, oh yessss and deadly.

 

I dont think Megs would belittle himself as to scan a puny Earth machine. He fears no one, therefore he does not feel the need to hide.

 

F22 is cooler. that's obviously what it came down to.


lol

 

I'd say leave megatron to his watery grave. It's Starscream's time to shine.

 

Megatron needs a sleek new cybertronian form personally.

But overall, I guess go for whatever suits the story for now, then later write him in as attaining a true pure cybertronian form unhindered by war damage and scars, maybe when he eventually goes Galvatron. For now, something he can funnel his power into that may be simplistic, but offers him quicker devastation.
Then if he goes Cybertronian again, he can carryover his new habits of cannon on arm always at the ready, etc. Especially if he doesn't destroy starscream, but keeps the traitor close.

Maybe a triple changer. Similiar to Blitzwing only more epic. Like a thor hammer, and supersonic jet of some craft (commercial spaceflight type even? Yes, those do exist). Not only devastating, but able to shift from locale to locale at his discretion.

 

Honestly, I think it would suit the character better to NOT have an earth based alt-mode. Megatron's not the type to want to hide and disguise himself IMO. The AllSpark is destroyed and he will just want to wreak havoc on Earth at best. No hiding required.

 

space ship????

 

As bad-ass and violent as Megatron might be..don't forget he already got killed once, and if he returns, knows the puny humans now have weapons to hurt Cybertronians. I doubt he'd go for an all-out attack this time...

 

It doesn't matter to me if Megatron is a jet or a tank. I just hope he will be in the second movie.

 

it's not false the blackbird is in the movie it will be jetfire

 

he should just come back as a handgun  

 

The only way we'd see that is if his spark made the leap from dying form, to someone's gun. Then he'd be stuck as a mini gun bot till he found a new body to get into.

Maybe the Cube could depolarize his spark like what happened to BM megatron sometime in the third movie or farther. But I don't see it happening in this movie at all.

No gratuitous mass shifting.

Personally, for now I think he ends up getting a tank form from Devastator's fallen form who's been buried with him. But later, who knows. It was rather stupid on humanities part to bury 3 bots of unknown origin and workings, one of which with the allspark embedded into him, into crushing depths of the ocean where nothing can monitor them. Heaven knows what may happen with all that tech buried near each other underpressure and with that mcguffin inside.

 

I'd go with a self-propelled gun, probably the cancelled XM2001 Crusader. It's a one-off prototype, and I think it's also the biggest tank-like tracked vehicle the US Army has ever fielded, all of which would give bucket-head the uniqueness and presence he deserves. Using a six-inch howitzer (read, VBFG) rather than something like an M1 Abrams means you're combining the G2 "tank" with the artillery aspect that's been part of Megs since the beginning...

Alternatively, the ridiculously massive Nazi Panzer VIII Maus, designed by the same guy as the VW Bug.  

 

Howitzer, Tank, Blackbird I think he might be sick of jets. I'll just wait for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009).

But a rocket would be awesome, goes along with the original weapon idea. Something reusable obviously. Something he could take down Starscream easily in. Perhaps a stolen goverment prototype?

 

As I've said before, a tank is the most appropriate alt. mode for him. However, if people want him to be airborne as well, he could be a triple-changer, (robot, tank, earth jet) or he could simply fly in robot mode with the tank as his ground disguise.

 

JETT NOT TANK

Facetious references aside, I don't see why Megatron needs to have an Earth mode. I think that he'll still have a Cybertronian mode, but not the same as his jet mode from the first movie. Instead he'll be a "mutated" or "corrupted" form of that jet--not necessarily looking grotesque or monster-like, the best analogy would be Samus in the Varia Suit to Samus in the PED Suit at the beginning of Metroid Prime 3. Familiar but different, with an ever-present connotation of corruption from power overload, and according to the Allspark Power toys, the visual cue for Allspark energy is bright blue, which also happens to be the visual cue for Phazon energy in Metroid Prime.

 

i hope he looks more like old school megs in robot mode,with the arm cannon and all.

who misses the flat head,cuz i do.

 

I really missed that look in TF1. I never warmed to the design they came up with, it missed all the classic elements.

 

People Megs will NOT be in Transformers revenge of the fallen. For proof go to:
