I think most just headcanon the idea that G1 Megatron's spark affected his mind during the brief time that he held it, and influenced his feelings about organics since G1 Megatron was a robo-supremacist with a disdain towards organics (or as he derogatorily termed them, "puny fleshlings").MaximalNui wrote:AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Cheetor and Megatron were the only two that really benefitted from Beast Machines.

Eh, maybe Cheetor, since it felt as a progression on his growth in maturity and responsibility from BW. Megatron, while certainly more powerful and menacing, lost a lot of his original Machiavellian charisma, and ended up with completely different goals and values than with zero explanation (remember when he got angry at the mere mention of "the H-word"? Where was that when he honored a deal with Rattrap despite having every reason to betray him?).
Seriously, for all the media dedicated to the period between G1 and BW, there isn't enough explaining what Megatron was doing between BW and BM to make him so anti-organic and anti-individuality. Then again, the latter could be explained by being constantly betrayed by any Predacon not named Scorponok or Inferno.

After all, he'd also suddenly developed a god complex in the BW series finale, (during which he still held G1 Megs's spark), which is something G1 Megatron also possessed, and which BW Megatron also had to an even greater extent in Beast Machines.

And let's not forget that "Gorilla Warfare" showed us that deep down inside that restrained, rational mind of his beats the spark of a raging berserker.

Aren't we all? It does sound like it would have been a step up from BM. While at the same time, the premise seemed to share more than a passing nod with Reboot.

'Course, it would have likely also been an even more drastic departure from Beast Wars than Beast Machines was, which is what put many Beast Wars fans off of Beast Machines in the first place.First-Aid wrote:AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Sabrblade wrote:He's sad that Transtech never happened.Rodimus Prime wrote:Y u cryin'?First-Aid wrote::-(

Pretty much. I would loved to have seen something that was such a departure from the drivel we get now (G1 reduxed reduxed reduxed Redux) and those toys would have been amazing. It's funny...if you look at some of the sketches they were even more "organic" than the Bayverse characters...completely new.

Only if it's all polka songs with the grand finale of Dare to Be Stupid. They can even take the Junkion dancing scene from TF:TM and put it on the big screen.First-Aid wrote:The ONLY thing I want more than Transtech is Weird Al Yankovic doing the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
No no. Have the football players themselves reenact the Junkion dance scene on the field.
