Again ... Model T vs any modern car would say otherwise.

And that's just silly.

some continuities have Omega as being newer and the technobots as older.

I still love G1 Omega Supreme even though he's a brick, and boring. I like his walking feature. I'm a sucker for batteries, motors, lights, and electronics. I used to love those cars that went around the track using brush motors and you press a button to race. I had a battery-powered transforming car as well.

Why do G1 Megatron and G1 Galvatron have separate Wiki pages if they're the same guy?

Because there have been enough time travel stories in which the future Galvatron and the past Megatron met and interacted with each other that having them both covered on the same page would make too much confusion for the Average Joe to read and keep track of.

Not to mention the IDW version of G1 Galvatron being his own guy separate from Megatron adding more to the need for separate pages.

In short, it's to make things easier for everybody to read and understand the pages' content.

Do you believe that was a statue of Megatron in the Decepticon mausoleum in the episode "Starscream's Ghost". It had a fusion canon and head-sculpt very reminiscent of Megatron.

Twas likely erected after the Cons thought Megatron died after Starscream chucked him out of Astrotrain in the movie, but before Megs returned to Cybertron as Galvatron to interrupt Starscream's coronation.

G1 gave us great moments like these:

Well, he's a dictator. Those guys tend to commission statues of themselves just for the hell of it. Could be an old one.

This is documentation of Megatron's death:

Inside a crypt for the dead? I'd think Megs would be insulted to have his statue put in a place where statues of dead guys go.

I know "All Hail Megatron" was considered an abortion (ie. It should never have happened) but I enjoyed the art because the characters were drawn exactly like the g1 cartoon. Megatron looked just like the g1 cartoon. I even heard his gravelly voice. That's how spot-on it was.

So you're saying you read a comic?

I read the first issue of All Hail Megatron because it was free. And then I stopped.

You read 1 issue of a 16 issue series and you form an opinion like that.

Read the other 15 issues then your opinion becomes relevant.

All hail G1:

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Derp. What's worse is that I watched that episode two weeks ago.

Megatron already had his cartoon body in the comics that came before All Hail Megatron.

However, Prowl, Sunstreaker, and Sideswipe did not have their cartoon bodies. They instead had their Universe toy bodies that were available at stores at the time. Hasbro asked the comic people to put those ones in the comics.

Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker also didn't have their cartoon bodies. They instead had bodies based on Starscream's Masterpiece toy, which used the cartoon body as a basis, but changed some things a bit like having really long jet pieces hanging off of their legs.

Devastator didn't quite have his cartoon body. He had something like it, but it was missing its chest wings and had the shoulder treads moved to the forearms. And the head was a bit different:

Not that Devastator's head was ever consistent in the cartoon:

G1 would be more epic if they went high tech on the toys. Adding robotics and software, giving the toys some intelligence and autonomy.

I trust this:



more than this:

I don't understand why some people belived that Unicron killed Megatron during creation of Galvatron, it seems so forced. If Galvatron indeed replaced Megatron as a entity, it happened slowly.

Do people really think this? I love AHM, reread it at least once a year.
