Arguably the best Megatron to demonstrate his brilliant mind is BW Megatron. He got Ravage on his side, found a way to control Rampage, constantly manipulated Tarantulas and the Maximals to suit his agenda and eventually conquered Cybertron single handed.

It was when Megatron went insane (losing control over his most powerful weapon) that he ultimately lost in Marvel US and Im sure other continuities

One of his most powerful weapons is his cunning mind. In fact you could argue its his most powerful weapon even more so then his modified body.
Whats to argue that Megatron will be found buried by some unsuspecting Bot in one of the series and the bot in question wont even recognise him as not many have seen him up close. His body may be so mangled that hes unrecognisable anyway. He could be suffering from amnesia a bit like in Marvel US were he blew up the space bridge and ended up in the Dead End district of Cybertron wandering around lost and confused.
What would be even cooler if the bot in question tries to repair him and we know its Megatron but the bot doesnt. We are left wondering if he will his strike out at his saviour as his mind slowly knits itself back together. The tension would be unbearable. |
Now THAT would be an amazing story!
Good one UM1...
Like if it was a nail who didn't know? And Megs would by now have community and friends and then one day, maybe when he sees the right autobot again, he remembers everything.

Exactly. A Nail finds Megatron and unwittingly restores him.

...And when recovering, Megatron reboots to his original IDW model. I think it's the greatest model Megatron has ever had. |

Well that epilogue did say 'Megatron' hadn't returned in millions of years, so whos to say he isn't among the cast already?

I tend to kind of leave Costa's epilogue out of calculations. |

I also hope Megatron returns with his original IDW form. I'm hoping he got stripped down to the endo skeleton and put in a CR chamber where his CNA effects the restoration process.
Wouldn't it be great if Metalhawk was nursing Megatron back to health?

Its funny since they first showed the IDW form and later the gun form, it really made the gun form less impressive than before. Even Miner Megatron looked more imposing than Gun Megs.

The continuity botch in CT of Megs having a previous gun mode bothered me too. If it was such an "intriguing, new, form" in Escalation, that doesn't jive to me with having an extremely similar one previously. Especially taking a second gun alt mode after having been trapped in such a helpless form for a year. I mean he would have had to holo-avatar everywhere.

The notion that excited him, I think, was that this time he was using Ore-13 and as such was extremely hyper-powered (over 9000, I think you'll find). The mode was new enough that it got Megs going and the power he had at his command overrode any concern that might have lingered from the last time he took said mode.

So when is he supposed to have had this first gun mode? As in Megatron: Origin he went from Miner Mode to IDW Tank, which he had right up until Infiltration, followed by the gun mode in Escalation.

At some point during the war, between the Thunderwing Event and Infiltration. There's nothing to say he hasn't swapped a few times.

Is it just me or is retconning Alt modes a bit pointless?
