OH YEAH
Gives me a vague Megatronus vibe, dunno why though
Even though we know Movieverse Megatronus looks quite different:

Not really got anything else to say. At least he isn't a mess of parts this time; it's a much more cohesive design.

Technically while that's the original Megatronus, Megs originally called himself Megatronus in most mainstream continuities. Now that we have a defined depiction of Megatronus, they can work in elements of him... Would love to see Onyx Prime, he would fit right in aesthetically

Still wondering how the whole Galvatron/ Megatron thing is going to work out. . .

They slide up the sides of his face forming ram-horn-like armor

They form Satan horns.
They form. Satan. Horns.
Why not just spraypaint "I AM LITERALLY THE DEVIL" across his chestplate

That is to say, only in the Aligned fiction, you mean. No other continuity (family) has adopted that name history for Megs (yet).Hellscream9999 wrote:Technically while that's the original Megatronus, Megs originally called himself Megatronus in most mainstream continuities.

Dunno, I don't ascribe to all the bs terminology for the different continuities, I just know he did it in prime, and a couple other places I think, I seem the remember this being a thing for a while...

In any case it seems to be what Hasbro's pushing for now.

It's definitely nice and with Welker doing the voice again it will definitely be awesomesauce.

Not really anymore, what with the brand team who created the Aligned stuff having been switched out with the current band team that seems to want to push IDW G1 to the forefront, in which Megatron was always just "Megatron".Kurona wrote:Hellscream9999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:That is to say, only in the Aligned fiction, you mean.

It's really only been the Aligned stuff (Prime, the Exodus novel, the Covenant, etc.) that had Megatron formerly named "Megatronus", and yet the most recent big deal usage of the "Megatronus" name was for the original evil Prime who terrorized Crown City in the RID 2015 season 1 finale.

Easy: he changed his alt. mode, and his ego wouldn't allow him to keep the 'pet' name given to him by the pathetic humans he looks down upon.

Kurona wrote:Why did he call himself Galvatron, anyway? I know applying any sort of logic to the movies is giving them too much credit, but... hm. Just seems a bit odd when they made such a big deal out of Galvatron being the human-given name. Which is ALSO weird because when you want to dissociate a guy from Megatron, maybe you shouldn't have 2/3 of the syllables.
Maybe because actual, competent writers came on board and laid out a well made floor plan for the series, and it needs megs back to being megs; who knows, maybe he'll die and be reformatted into devil gigatron (yes, I know that's the japanese name, but if they're backtracking on him being galvy now, it'd be weird for him to die and become galvy again...)

His helmet says he is a knight... the film is called The Last Knight... Optimus is a Knight... the Dinobot's are knights... the entire movie/theme is based around medieval mythology and theme's... so, yeah, it's at least fitting with the direction of the movie

I'm thinking that Galvatron will be hunted down and killed in the beginning of the film like Sideways, Demolishor and Ratchet were and the original Megatron head which still exists as far as we know will find someway to come back as this design since this Megatron's head looks a bit more like the first 3 films then the Galvatron head does.
Or Galvatron goes back to the Megatron name after being heavily injured and gets a redesign or of course it could just be that he abandoned the name without explanation.

These designs are a result of your critical feedback remember this.
This goes for Barricade and Megatron

I kind of doubt they're a result of anyone here lol. This part of the forums mostly amounts to people being angry over the movies' existence

i think i will see what the writers of the franchise will say about that, now that i think of it he never really called himself galvatron anyway he is always megatron to himself

Yes he did the first thing he says when breaking out of the KSI facility is
"I am Galvatron!"

actually he just said GALVATRON!!!!! like it was something he hated

Sure sounds like he says "I am Galvatron!" in a growling voice to me:Ultra Markus wrote:Deadput wrote:Ultra Markus wrote:i think i will see what the writers of the franchise will say about that, now that i think of it he never really called himself galvatron anyway he is always megatron to himself

He definitely says "Yo soy Galvatron!" ("I am Galvatron!") in the Spanish version too:

No he said it and the official movie subtitles confirmed that's what he said.
Why would he just say "Galvatron!" what would that even mean?
If he hated it he would say something like "I am not Galvatron I am Lord Megatron!"

But really though, let's just ignore Galvatron for now and marvel at how cool this Megatron is. Literally this is an awesome design, and we can now all answer the question of what a Knight version of Optimus v. Megatron could look like

And why has Transformers suddenly become the robotic version of Medieval times? What's with all this swords and nights stuff? What, will Alpha Trion appear and be a robotic sorcerer?
Don't act like this came out of nowhere they were setting this up in AOE with Optimus being captured by Lockdown for being a knight and the Dinobots are referred to as Knights.
Hey continuity it's what you guys wanted right?
And according to the sames leaks that revealed Squeeks before he was revealed officially this film will have a lot to do with the King Arthur and Merlin stories.

I also REALLY hope they go back to the way they transformed before, because I absolutely hate that stupid flowing transformation they made them do in the last one. That was ... I can't express in polite language how I feel about that, but it was REALLY bad!

In the same leaks that confirmed Squeeks before he was officially revealed which came from the same site and possibly source that revealed a lot of character names for AOE Autobots and the Dinobots in that film.
So if he is a flyer Megatron is a Cybertronian jet.
