Originally I preferred the idea of Megatrons rebirth to have been done by the constructicons. Scalpel caught me offguard completely since it seemed as if though the Constructicons were going be the only ones involved, with some help of Soundwave. I'm not sure if anyone has seen or read this, but I wondered how the movie would have changed if Soundwave brought him back, check it out; "Further east, a U.S. Nimits-class aircraft carrier stretches across the blue slate of the ATLANTIC OCEAN. Its radar registers an unidentified bogey--one roughly the size of the carrier itself--inbound on a trajectory straight for the ocean. A meteor? No. It's the Nemesis, followed by the protoforms of Soundwave and his brigade as they slam head-first into the ocean surface. The massive impact capsizes the nearby carrier. Once fully submerged, brief flashes oflight discharge from below the survafe. A new carrier slowly emerges from the depths, the Nemesis having scanned and transformed into the sinking structure. Each Decepticon simultaneously transforms into its respective scanned military assault vechicle, most notable of which is the prototype for a large, military-grade focused sound laser- - not the type of sound you hear, but the type you feel as in explosion. This is Soundwave. The U.S. MILITARY, confounded by the sudden loss and subsequent reemergence on radar of one of its carriers, places itself on high alert-even as the carrier continues routinely north along its projected course. At last, as Soundwave's convoy arrives over the LAURENTIAN ABYSS, Megatron's body is retrieved from the depths. Crushed, cold and beaten, his lifeless frame is placed in a distinctive chamber below deck, the interior of which is more Cybertronian than anything man-made. This is where the resurrection begins. Sound is a form of energy produed by vibrations in matter. Because both Autobots and Decepticons need energy to survive, this makes Soundave exceptionally unique among them. His ability to produce varied super-frequencies of sound - of energy - and transfer that energy through waves, has made him a kind of mystic healer, a life-giver of sorts. As High Pries on Megatron's council, his ability to heal those in need has placed him in coveted reagards, even a god by some. It's through this tribal practice that Megatron is resurrected. Having absorbed the Allspark, his system went into shock and thus shut down; the equivalent of an overdose. What Soundwave is able to do, through pulses of sound energy, is harmonize Megatron's every particle, providing a frequency blueprint for each molecule to match. And though the process is mebedded in science, this practice is a spiritual one reserved for only the most worthy, considering the amount of energy it requires Soundwave to harness (hence the Nemesis, which is part energy storage vessel.) Once a resurrection occurs, however, the body is still dependent on Soundwave's energy. This is yet another reason why resurrections are so rare. One final piece of the puzzle remains, but obtaining it cannot occur without first acquiring a bargaining chip. In an attempt to exploit Prime's compassion for the human race (the boy, in particular), members of Megatron's faction are dispersed to capture Sam, intent on using him as that very leverage. Originally I liked the idea, but preferred the idea of the constructicons, well dicuss what you think! thumb:
