IDEALLLLLLY, they should have a tiny gun mode Megatron pop out of the figure to represent his shrunk down alt mode.

There have been multiple toys that come with a tiny Gun Mode Megatron accessory. I'm pretty sure one of them has been with a SS86 release?

Nope. No SS86 toy released thus far has come with a Megatron gun accessory.

Kingdom Core Class Megatron is the latest one.

All this means is that 1980s Hasbro should have never used any of the Micro Change Gun Robo toys for Transformers in the first place, and should have instead chosen another non-firearm-based toy to be the leader of the Decepticons.

Unfortunately there was no way of knowing back in 1983 how irrational the western world would become.

US gun laws, 2nd amendment and the people's responses to changes to either. 'Nuff said

Darn.... I knew I saw one recently, but it was with the OG Starscream in TF:TM packaging (walmart). Well you can just add that accessory to some other SS86 release.

JelZe mentioned the Core class Kingdom toy coming with a teeny tiny one, though, which can be wielded by both Core class figures and larger figures.

The other recent gun mode Megatron accessory we've gotten from Hasbro is the one in the Selects Centurion accessory set.

It does include the removable silencer

It was NOT included with SS-86 Coronation Starscream which would have made sense, except he can't hold him very well with the new articulated hands.

I really wonder what will a SS86 leader Megatron will be?
Will they DARE make him transform into a gun?
Or will he still transform into a tank but 5his time around, ALL the tank kibbles will completely disappear from the bot mode?

A SS86 Megatron would be a new mold, but still a tank.

Hasbro already said in one of their recent videos that Gun Megatron isn't happening.
.

That's why I said a tank Megatron, but all the tank kibble disappear from the bot mode. No backpack either.

I'm sure this is possible to do with a Leader budget.

maybe just the head of unicron, How would you fit it in a house?

[Starshriek]

at that point, shouldn't they just make a 1to1 scale unicron?

If the Megs listing truly is for a SS86 Megs, just make him a gun but use the extra U.N.C.L.E. add on bits to disguise it as some form of "howitzer"
Maybe the instructions could intentionally mistransform the alt-mode so it just looks like some """Cybertronian""" artillery emplacement, hmmm?

FYI, Hasbro stated a Megs 86 would be a tank.

R.E.D. Shockwave came with a mini-Megatron pistol accessory as well (although it was a limp, floppy rubber version). If you don't mind him always looking bent . There was also the Centurion Drone accessory (even though, like Velocitron Cosmos, it was a vaporware release which only a few people could get hold of).

I think I'd be fine with a 'tank' version of G1 Megatron for the Studio Series 86 line, as long as the robot mode was more G1 accurate, and doesn't use that flat grey plastic. I'd like it to be silvery, like they did with CW Leader Megatron. What are the chances that they would just re-release WFC Earthrise Megatron? That was another figure that never seemed to turn up in stores, though it was available on Pulse for a long time.

I'm aware, just thinking of funny ways for HasTak to come up ways to give Megs a gun mode again.
I'm one of those people that prefers Megs turning into a tank, really adds to the "military hardware" vibe of the Decepticon crew.

I wonder if its too late to tell the developers just... "Nope" -Dear Hasbro, if you want to release another Tank Megatron in Legacy, cool go for it. But if you were dead set on releasing as part of SS86, just save yourself the tooling budget and work on something else. We get it. We live in an illogical society where we cant have nice things. Star Wars fans cant have Slave Leia, and Transformers fans cant have an accurate transforming alt mode of the Original Megatron. Its unfortunate, but we get it. Just dont give us something that isn't right.

[SpaceEagle]

Did we already forget MP Megs exist or-

Ever tried importing either version?

[Overcracker]

There's always the possibility of it being a triple changer and have an unaddressed third mode or a third mode, that's called something other than a gun.

SixShot anyone?

Can't say I've tried (as much as the toy-accurate version tempts me) but, hey, it still exists for TF fans to have!
