[Sir Chopsalot]

not really, and we are talking about the megatron that turned into the p 38 right?

[jayel579]

uh no

[PzYcO]

not at all..

[Halliday]

Nope. No resemblence to the leader of the Decepticons.

It sucks that they screwed Transformers up. I was flipping through the channels the other day and was surprised to see Transformers on. Then I noticed they turned it into some horible Pokemon clone :(

I think this guy's a couple cans short of a sixer.

I'll buy into that. :) Specifically, it looks like the toy with all the super blaster stuff on it...

That's what happens when the Japanese market picks up the show after the American market let it go. Then after years of evolving and many different incarnations of the show, it ends up back here in America that is totally different than the original idea (ex. Beast Wars & Beast Machines). Anyways, the last two series but in particular Transformers: Robots in Disguise are actually from Japan imported over here.

Megatron transformed from a human looking thing into a jet if I remember correctly...how in any way does that resemble a paintball gun?

The original Megatron was a pistol with a stock and scope. StarScream was a jet, along with two others. Throughout the generations, Megatron somehow survived countless deaths and changed into different things. In BeastWars, he was a TRex. In Transformers: The Movie, he was changed into a futuristic laser gun by a planet sized robot. Pretty much all Autobots, Decepticons, Dinobots, Constructicons, Airialbots, and other generations transformed into human looking robots. The only one that didn't really look like a human was Omega Supreme.

Can't forget Trypticon and Sky Lynx and some of the tape transformers such as Ravage and Lazerbeak.

I don't remember the first two. Were they from the original series?

After finding this image, I can kinda see the resemblence.

Yes they were. If memory serves me right, they both came out in the "Five Faces of Darkness" episodes.
Here are some pics of who they are.

This is Trypticon.

Hey dammit stop making me feel old...

yeah I remember the Original Megatron (http://www.justbetoys.com/new/megatron.jpg)

And to think I beat up this kid at work that called Pearl jam OLD... then made the point that they were in diapers when the TEN cd came out.


anyhow old school megatron as a pimp and then they introduced Galvatron (http://www.absoluteanime.com/admin/favtoy-transformers-galvatron.jpg) in his cool laser artilliary form and the crazyness continued

[M-a-s-sDriver]

Possibly the geeky-ist thread ever. Anywhere.
Very sad.

Now I remember them. They are one of the few motorized Transformers. I have Omega Supreme with the original box.
