Other Appearances:
Don't
hold your breath as we get through this, because this could take awhile!
- 1984 - his
original toy form so incredibly [email protected]$$ it is actually an illegal toy in the U.S. as an
exact replica of a real firearm, the Walter P-38 handgun. Since he was reformatted into Galvatron by Unicron in
TFTM, he
made shockingly few other appearances in the G1 series.
- 1987 - as a
decoy
- 1990 - in
Action Master form
- 1993 - Generation 2 (G2)
green and purlple tank, surprisingly, it was his first vehicle

Megastorm, who is close, but apparently not
quite Megatron!
- 1999 - Beast Wars Transmetal
2 Megatron, Beast Wars Neo had
Magmatron, also a reasonable facsimile but still
not quite Megatron.
- 2000 - Yet another close-but-not-quite was "
Mechatron" Beast Riders in Beast Machines and
Beast Machines
(Mega class) Megatron.
- 2001 - Here's an interesting case! His name in the show was
"Savage" in dragon mode, and "Noble" in wolf mode, and the toy is called, "
Beast Changer." But really, he *is*
Megatron! Then, later that same year came the first 6-changer
Megatron in R.I.D. Transformers. Wow what a toy!
- 2002 - In the fist half of the year was a toy with limited
release. It's
Beast Machines 'floating head' Megabolt Megatron,
sold in R.I.D. packaging (Hey, we'll take it!) With the beginning of what fans would later dub, "The Unicron
Trilogy" came
Armada Megatron.
- 2003 - amazingly, not a single toy named Megatron!
