Every crazy hobo hermit needs his share of junk to decorate whatever lawn he's bunking on for the moment
Those barrels probably held food/hatchlings. It's a couch. For Soundwave. Also lomg is that his old hand on the left? Man it must've been really fucked up if making a new one was easier.
^Yes, that is a hand. It's one of the physical Ancient Prime hand props from the Tomb of the Primes sequence in RotF. Well, some of the hatchlings were in those barrels. But other than that, there's probably no real reason, be it for plot purposes or even for Megatron's own purpose. They were probably there just to make his camp look cluttered, dirty, unkept and to just increase the "cool" factor. You know, random engines, RotF prop, throw a truck in the background. Which, come to think of it, does sort of imply something plot-wise. Living in "the dumps", Megatron isn't doing too well, etc.. Sort of makes you think though. Why? Take that truck for example. My imagination goes crazy and considers that maybe Megatron needed some spare parts, so Laserbeak went and flat-out murdered the driver (or coerced him to drive back to the camp and then killed him). I'm sure there's a scorched skeleton in the driver's seat of that truck.
it could have been where megatron rebuilt himself has the truck, so the mess there could be parts of his ROTF alternative mode. But it depends if you go by the game then I have no idea why its there
He keeps the hatchlings in the barrels. I don't know what the rest of the stuff is for, beyond Megatron wanting some kind of base no matter how sad it looked. Unless it was for disguise purposes if NEST came looking for him. Transform into his truck mode, and it looks like an abandoned miltary or hunter camp, with a beaten up abadoned truck that most people would probably leave there.
It's that giant tarp that kills me. Why does he need it? To sleep under? I just imagine him sleeping under it, all balled up, kicking his leg as he chases Autobots in his dreams. All his little hatchling's curled up under his arms like kittens.
That made me giggle. And maybe Laserbeak is singing a cute( and evil) bedtime story like this: Go to sleep Go to sleep my leader Go to sleep We shall kill them someday Go to sleeeep or something.
