Transformers Generations Selects Super Megatron Update

For King Posideon, you'll want to watch Super God Masterforce though it's a fair few episodes before King Posideon is introduced in full. It's also only Turtler who has any autonomy in the show (he never uses his robot mode either) all the rest of the Seacons are drones that are mass produced. None of them use robot modes either.

As for Super Megatron, there is nothing to watch as Battlestars was never animated, with its story told through text and a short Manga. So Tfwiki is your best bet

King Poseidon was in the Super-God Masterforce cartoon, but not so much as an actual character since his limb components were mass-produced mindless drones who never transformed into robot modes and his torso component, Turtler, also never transformed out of turtle mode and had very little personality of his own. Basically, King Poseidon was less of an actual character and more of a living weapon of mass destruction who would show up whenever the Decepticons of that show needed a powerful trump card against the Autobots. Though, Turtler/King Poseidon did have one personality trait: Evil jerk. He relished inflicting pain on his opponents and causing destruction in general.

Super Megatron, however, never appeared in any animated media. The series he originated from, Return of Convoy, was a print-only series whose storyline was told in magazine story pages that were very sparse on actual story content, instead mostly just summarizing specific events in a broad sense. The series did, however, get one chapter of manga, which told a more fleshed out story, but was just basically a simple tale of Super Megatron trying to steal some energy with Star Convoy and the Battlestars fighting him to stop him.

Yes! Yes! YES! I was so afraid this idea was going to be scrapped which is weird coming from someone who skipped Star Convoy but, whatever, I just really dig the Super Megatron design.

Here you go.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now its just me but I think on some level we should appreciate the original Super Megatron concept art a bit more: as far as I can tell, it started the now very commonplace idea of Megatron-as-an-alien-jet/spaceship seen in Energon, Cybertron, 2007 movie, DOTM, TLK, Animated and Prime. Overall a very common choice of altmode for the 2000 to mid 2010.

When I was a kid, we had the Seacons gift set. We got Nautilator seperate and pretty much made him the gun.

Though, the important epilogue clip show episode at the end of the series is missing, which can instead be watched here.

Your rank of "God of Transformers" is very appropriate!

Post count only. Not my choosing.

Seacons on Pulse- I'm glad for those who couldn't pre-order. I paid more for mine, because Hasbro gave no indication they'd be available again. I wish they'd be more transparent with such things, but such is life.

King Poseidon! (I just feel compelled to yell it every time) as a character has little depth. Like any other combiner, he is just brute force in MF, although he ends up getting beat pretty bad by Ginrai, and even Metalhawk towards the end. But he does have a pretty awesome voice, and one of the best combination sequences in all of Transformers IMHO.

As for Super Megatron, I am really *hoping* the rest of Zone, Return of Convoy, and Operation Combination will be included (I assume) in the 3rd TF Manga volume Viz is releasing later this year.

Know what would be cool with Return of Convoy and Zone getting some love in SELECTS? Somehow, Big Bang getting a figure. Don't know who he'd be a retool of (POTP Rodimus?) but this obscure fella deserves to finally get a toy.
