Hasbro should use this as a retooling of Voyager Megatron, repaint it purple, add a new head and weapon. Movieverse Cyclonus.
he needs a place to store squishies without accidentally squishing them. some bots and cons try to blend in, so they need a squishy box to fool squishies into thinking they're squishy-operated. and minion storage and transportation, as not all cons are equal.
Is Megatron's jetmode an alien-ified version of a real Earth jet? I vaguely remember someone identifying it as one at some point.
Until seeing this it never occurred to me that Megatron's jet mode is the shape of a sword. The shape of the wings always looked weird to me for a plane but they are the shape of a sword hand guard. I'm head cannoning a deleted scene where Quintessa knights him at the beginning of the movie and tells him he will be her sword and reformats him into a jet shaped like a sword then sends him after the staff.
In the movie he kidnapped some humans,(spoke of, not seen) but they could have still thrown them into a windowless compartment.
Lol. Yeah. I don't think megatron cares. So, he needs a cockpit because he kidnaps people. I still don't get it. Why a cockpit? Why not an onboard jail. Surely he doesn't care about his victims comfort.
They were seen for a second. Whenever Megatron transforms and lands in the desert, you see two people fall out onto the ground.
Who says its comfortable? Though I suppose Megs has a cockpit for the same reason any Cybertronian TF in any other series has cockpits/driver seats. To make it obvious it's still some kind of vehicle.
Maybe he kept the two hostages in it. Almost every transformer jet has a cockpit. Reminds me of this guy:
Well, yes. It's obviously an alien jet. I'm saying I can see why someone would say the shilouette was inspired by that real-life jet.
