    Yep, got the universe G2 Megatron without Prime in a garage sale. Also got Armada Megatron (Bricktron) at another sale, while not buying Armada Prime too.

    RiD meg was gotten way earlier compared to Prime just because of rarity

    The closest example I can think of is that I bought the Voyager Megatron from ROTF, but I don't have a Voyager Prime.
    I do have the Leader Prime, though.

    I currently have RID Megatron but no Prime. Although I bought him as a Halloween decoration. Also, I do have the Dragon TM II BW Megs, but no... wait, yeah, I do have... ok, I'll need a ruling on this one: I actually have all 3 BW versions of Megs: original version TRex, TM TRex and the dragon. The only Primal I have is the TM with the skysled. So the other two would count as Megatrons with no Optimi right? I also have BM Megs and I really think he's it from that line.

    I had a Megatron to go with every Prime I ever bought... It's like you can't buy just a Batman without getting the Joker for him to wail on...

    The only line, that I collect, that I don't have the pair for is Alternity. Megs is the only figure I have from that line.

    I'm not sure my Prime to Megatron ration is 1:1, but I have at least one of each from every series except G1.

    Oh, and I didn't get a Megatron from ROTF. Hopefully his toy for TF3 will be closer to his onscreen appearance.

    For TFTM, I only have the best buy exclusive Megatron with no prime. I thought Megatron was so sinister and tough in the first movie. I absolutely loved his voice. I didn't pick up prime because I felt that he was pretty wimpy and could barely hold his own against megatron (even though he tore up bonecrusher!)

    Every Optimus Prime I get, I always want a Megatron.

    for some reason Megatron almost always get shafted. RARELY is a megatron toy better than an optimus... I mean... the only instance that I can maybe think of, is animated Megatron earth mode. that Meg is a BEAST.

    Hey! what about the TRU Energon 2 pack? I like Deluxe Fatimus Prime and all but the scaled down Megs from that set is easily one of my all time favorite Transformers.
