I'm going to go with Earth Tank....just because my frist Megs toy was a G2 Tank.

 

I love that figure. it sits on my mixer in my recording studio.

To me he's a giant alien laser pistol that was based on Quintesson design that was commissioned by an eccentric dictator of a race of giant aliens.

I don't think the character was that fantastic.

:yikes :slap

He really wasn't...Unless you like stupid plans and retreating.

You got Optimus Prime and Megatron confused. Optimus Prime runs away from battles and Megatron starts them.

It took him two years to kill those guys, and even then he only managed it because he was imbued with the magic power of "new toys to sell", which meant he had to die, too. Most of Megatron's screentime in G1 is full of failure.

I'd like to point out it's a cartoon with silly altruistic american ideals "the good guys always win". AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.Real world...they don't. If you want a better definition of this paradox watch the beginning of Swordfish and listen to the narrative between Travolta and the FBI on movie concepts.There are a few films that are consdiered gritty by that standard, and usually shelved into miserable put-on-the-TV-late-nigth-on-a-Friday when no-one cares too much etc.Back to Megatron. Burned into my psyche is the gun BUT I would like to (as they did on one of the IDW comics had him reformatted to some kind of tank, but in his colours whcih I can work with) Tank or Gun in Bone white or silver...I think colour is a big factor for me with him.

It doesn't help that the Autobots always win via deu ex machina. The Movie is the most notorious example of that. The ONLY good thing about the first movie is killing off that dictator Optimus Prime and made room for a new leader.

:clap YAAAAY ! Thank You :clap

armada megs as a earth tank ruled...

armada megs as a earth tank ruled...

 

I agree. I like the menacing look of the Armada tank more than the rest.

Hand.

It had to be said eventually...

"Transformers is fantasy, but Swordfish, now there's a reflection of reality." :rofl

 

I wouldn't mind it if my reality consisted of staring at Halle Berry's chest all day.

 

Oh, and Cybertronian vehicle, just because that can encompass so many different things.

I'm not voting, as the proper answer is "Osprey-like future Earth helicopter with giant cannon on the nose".

 

;)

 

Okay, maybe I'll vote for his pre-Earth Animated form. Would that be a "Cybertronian combat vehicle" or a "space cruiser"?

Where's jet?

 

And do you mean G1 Megs or what? Because I don't think he's ever been a T-Rex... I'm not sure if he's ever been a space cruiser, either. But you didn't put jet fighter, which G1 Megs has been at some point... confusing.

 

Anyway, his most iconic form is that of a gun, but I personally think he's best as a tank. Imposing, not necessarily unique but dangerous, plus, the first Megatron I ever had was his G2 form.

 

 

Eh? T-Rex in Beast Wars? Space Cruiser in the movie? I was kinda going for the main alt modes for him.

 

Agree with Prime Idiot, colour is very important.

 

Give me IDW Cybertronian Tank!
