Megatron's new leaf is safe so long as Roberts is on the book and he's said he's got it planned til #100.

They've already established that the strength-reducing robot drugs that Megatron is taking can have personality altering side effects. I'm sure that once he stops taking them he'll go back to being the genocidal maniac we all know and love.

The fool's Energon is doing something to him, we just don't know what the consequences are yet.

I still just hear the voices from the original cartoons when I see Megatron and Starscream, so it's very hard to take all these dramatic moments seriously.

In my case, it doesn't help that Beast Wars confirmed that that was his actual voice.

I didn't even notice that 'til you mentioned it  what is that? It makes me think some kind of truck engraving, yeah.It'd be kind of cool if his alt mode is some kind of truck similar to Optimus

I sat and read some MTMTE and realized i hear David Kaye's voice when I read his scenes. Kaye being known for voicing the Beast Wars Megatron.

Before 'Transformers' was a thing, that toy was a thing in Japan with a name I can never remember that transformed into a gun - as pictured - designed to resemble Ilya Kuryakin's weapon from The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which I always thought was neat - that a cartoon I loved as a kid had a (tenuous, admittedly) link to a TV show that my Mom loved when she was a kid.

The original Transformers came from two Japanese toylines, one that purported to be real tiny robots who changed into things like watches and guns, and one that was typical scaled down representations of what was supposed to be giant (piloted) mecha. If you think Megatron is a lovely looking robot, look at poor Ratchet: It's because in the original, his toy switched between an ambulance and a battle station, but they still tried passing him off as the cartoon character who was a very clearly humanoid robot.

The origin of Transformers as a franchise is really pretty fascinating, and this guy did a three part series on its inception. It's a good watch if you've got an hour or so to kill.

Pretty sure people have been killed by the police due to that toy as well, as the original predated the US laws requiring orange tips on the barrel. It's reportedly even tougher to get in Australia, where it's considered a firearm replica.
