Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

I didn't see any reference to an alt mode...I have to admit they are doing a hell of job of keeping his altmode secret from the public...and his Earth altmode secret from us.

Shockwave could do it so why not Megs?

Good question. In the Marvel comics, Megatron even stated that Shockwave had interstellar flight capabilities in gun mode, which Megatron did not.
On topic, seeing them as knights is not too far of a stretch. I can relate many good versus evil battles to tales of knights. It's a common literary parallel. One might even say, obvious.

Megatron is suppose to be a real villain; said villain having an alt-mode that requires someone to grasp him and pull the trigger probably would confuse half of the theater audience.
By the way, First-Aid, I disagree about BW Megatron. After Unicron reformatted Megatron into Galvatron, his alt-mode didn't have to rely on someone else to pull a trigger.
That's interesting. I never saw it that way. I always thought they made the change because they felt Megatron needed an update and look more menacing in both modes and of course, the gun laws that would get in the way of toy sales.Predaprince wrote:BW Silverbolt was the knight; Dinobot is a Viking (just watch my dedication to him in my sig).
