Within the Era 1 line of Transformers toys, Megatron may be reworked into an eerily realistic-looking firearm. This works nicely sufficient for a toy-sized robotic however — let’s face it — can solely get you thus far when your nemesis is among the strongest Transformers and might flip into a large truck. Apparently, Megatron’s “Transformer One” design is comparatively near how he appeared on this period. May the film function the character’s gun transformation, as both an offhand joke or one thing way more sinister?
Tanks have additionally crept into Megatron-adjacent toy designs, first as an adjunct automobile the Decepticon chief might pilot after which as his precise automobile kind when Era 2 toys rolled in. Since then, varied tanks have been a mainstay in Megatron’s arsenal of transformations, they usually’re amongst his most distinguished automobile varieties. Judging by what the trailer exhibits, his “Transformers One” transformation may draw inspiration from the Cybertronian tank – one among his automobile varieties within the live-action motion pictures.
Talking of his live-action automobile varieties, different Megatron toys remodel into jet planes. He is additionally been identified to show right into a sports activities automobile every so often. In the meantime, the “Transformers: Beast Wars” toy line has variations of Megatron that may flip into an alligator and a Tyrannosaurus rex. Maybe most amazingly, a 2007 collaboration between the toy line and Nike turned him right into a 1:2 scale black sneaker. Whereas it stays to be seen exactly what the character will flip into in “Transformers One,” it doubtless will not be that.
