G2 Megatron was a tank with purple and green camouflage, but the G2 cartoon is only reruns of the G1 cartoons (cybernet space cube/cgi if you want to actually count this as a difference). Why a tank for the toys? Did megatron ever appear in any cartoon as a tank besides the latest animated series? |

Basically, anything that can confuse a police officer into thinking its an actual weapon and shoot you is a no go.

for a cybertronian gladiator/warlord/decepticon leader, i think a tank is more appropros.
the one nagging thought I and many others here have had, "why the hell would you transform into something that you need Starscream's help using?"
I love G1 Megs, but if they can avoid fuzzy areas and just make a great alt mode for him that works, then i am ok.
{although, i'd kill to see a 1930s era TF line with Megatron as a Chicago Typewriter....} Quote: |
