Megatron's Earth Form

[Ravsuh]

So, Megatron crash landed on Earth and was frozen, so he never had the chance to pick an Earth Form to disguise himself among the Earth world.

The form I would have picked for him would have been the SR-71 Blackbird, but that has been "leaked" to go to Jetfire (if the info leaked is correct). So idk what Earth form Megatron would pick. it would obviously be a Military aircraft of some sort, since his Cybertronian form is an "alien jet".

Idk if he would even pick an Earth form at all, since he sees humans and their technology as useless. But I would like to hear what all u guys think.

[oakzap425]

...Wasn't Megatron a jet in the first movie... :confused:

[cosmicherosa]

I'd prefer for him not to have an Earth form. I prefer how he is right now. Would be cool if he is in a major weakened state, and he allows himself to be used as a weapon/arm cannon, ala Starscream using him as a weapon.

[Ravsuh]

...Wasn't Megatron a jet in the first movie... :confused:

He was an "alien jet" it was his Cybertronian form, he never took an Earth form since he was frozen in ice.

I agree cosmic, it would be fine for him to stay an "alien jet", but it would be a great nod to the original toy and cartoon, if he became a cannon of some sort that the other Decepticons use, but I don't think Bay would go that road. I was thinking maybe he would need an Earth form in order to heal up after the first movie. Or a surprise twist in the movie is that he is a sort of Earth jet the whole movie and we don't know it til maybe halfway through the movie, but idk.

If he did turn into a cannon of some sort, wouldn't that make him Galvatron? Although in newer transformers comics Megs is a tank.

[cosmicherosa]

The way he formed the cannon he used on Optimus in the first movie, I kinda figure they will continue that route. I can't think of a way to do it without it looking odd. Would the other bot stick his hand up Megs wazoo, and let him wrap around his arm like a glove?

I don't think we will ever see him as a weapon, unless maybe Devastator uses him as a cannon.

[Ravsuh]

Yeh thats true on both accounts, i meant to say like a gun/ blaster of some sort but we all know it probably won't happen.

Yeh he is a tank in the newer but I believe IF he were to get an Earth form it would be a jest since his Cybertronian form was an alien jet he would probably take the form of a human jet, u know what i mean?

[xwolverine2]

his earth form should be

HAHA YEA if Megatron were the Tumbler I'd be extremely happy

[BatB]

I'd like it better if he didn't choose an Earth form. It would just show how little he thinks of humanity. Plus I think Megatron would fall in line very much with a nazi-like state of mind. Where he believes in the superiority of the technological over the biological. And therefore his own grand superiority over all things leading into the "necessary" eradication of all else.

Agreed....but I would have like to see something that didn't look like it was thrown together with scrap pieces of metal, like Megs does.

[RouthIsSuperman]

I think it would be awesome if he were to become a .44 Magnum.




















j/k :woot:

[TheLost]

Wasn't Megatrons Earth form a Walter P38 9mm??

[Lunar_Wolf]

I want him to have stay as the cybertron jet. I always felt Megatron in the movie should feel he is too good for an earth mode.

[Anti-Moderator]

If he was to pick an Earth mode, it would have to be something completely new...like perhaps the protoype of a vehicle/weapon that the goverment creates to defend itself from possible Cybertronian attacks....since the goverment had access to Megs for so long and then having faced the Cybertronian race as enemies as well as allies in the first film, it would seem likely that they would have at least thought of creating an "ultimate weapon(s)" of sorts to battle them. It didn't take them long in the first film to figure out which rounds were most efficient in damaging a Transformer in a short amount of time...I'm sure they could come up with something pretty deadly given time to analyze all the data they have on them.


I feel they will keep him the way he is though.

[Umbrax]

Megatron take a Earth form?

Bah! Hiding on Earth is of no concern to the mighty Megatron. Humans are insignificant insects. Taking a form of one of their machines is an insult to Lord Megatron.

[millennium movies]

On the contrary, i think having been beaten the first time around, i think he needs to have a cover this time, so he can have the time to regroup with the Decepticons, rebuild his team and maybe a lair and then strike back with force. In order to be able to do that he needs to keep hidden from the Autobots and the army for now until his plan is ready to be set in motion.

[fenox]

I See Only Two Ways:

1) The Cube Some How Fuses With Him Booting Him Up, Then Him Sezing The Opportunity To Ambush The Autobots Using A Earth Alt Mode

2) The Bad Guy Is "fallen" Given His Name Not To Ever Be Spoken
And At End Unicron Some How Finds Megs And Rebuilds Him Leaving A Cliff Hanger For 3.

On A Side Not I Think That The Humans Shold Have Named The Bots
Imean What Are The Chances Of Robots Named "autobots" Come To Earth And Hide As Automobiles. Thats A Really Ironic

It Should Have Played Out Like This:
The Girl "what Do We Call Them?"
Sam "your Robots Disguised As Cars Automobiles (short Pause)
Autobots Your Autobots"

Prime "they Are Deceptive In Nature Constructions Of Evil"
Sam "so They Are Decepticons?"

Just A Though

[Esquercrou]

I don't if this has been said but I see it like this:

A decepticon who is very loyal to Megatron will search for his body and take him to Unicron giving his own life to resurrect Megatron, and this will be perfect to be through the movie and at the end you see this Decepticon in front of Unicron with Megatron's body

(excuse me for my english)

Bay has already said there wont be a cliffhanger as he want's these movies to be stand alones that are related. I think this is also the reason why the "2" was taken out of the title. Hunter Rider made a point to me about Indiana Jones where they have individual names with no numbers. Personally I think it's a great idea having 3 stand alone films rather 3 that make up one big story.

[Overman27pj]

Agreed, I really dig the stand alone theme.

[Raiden]

I think Megatron should evolve in the sequel, and become even more powerful for the Autobots to take him on. I think he should be like the Megs in the Cybertron TF line, a triple changer. He can keep his jet form, but added a vehicle form as well to make him more versatile. Or he can become Galvatron. Either way, I don't think he should remain static.

[Xclaim]

If Megs had to take an Earth form, I think they should take a page from Animated and he turn into an Osprey.

[Anubis Raptor]

Cybertron jet works fine. Maybe they'll enhance his form in some way in this film.


-Mass D.

[Chris B]

I'm leaning towards him keeping the alien jet alt. mode. I think the A-10 could work, with the biggest downside being that it is less advanced than Starscream's F-22 form. Which may not be the best approach.

[beachbumsdn]

I'm one for not giving him a earth form. That being said, if he were to have oneI dont think anything american would do. I woould go with the SU 37 Russian Fighter. It's got a look similar to his alien form and is on par with the F 22.

[November Rain]

megs should only have a weapon and it should be a larger scale version of an earth weapon used to harm the transformers.

he should also be wielded by somone else, maybe starscream or another decepticon.

[luca_frontino]

I think Megatron losing the cannon is a bad idea.
All the transformers chosing whatever form they want is a bad idea also.

How do the vehicle-TFs create the wheels from their metal? And the colors?
It's strange.

I would have made them as spherical cores during the arrival. Like in page 3 of the second issue of TF generation 1 vol 1.
And then, all the spheres would have chosen a vehicle on their own, fusing with them and changing the mechanics/electronics.
At this point Megatron would be obligated to choose an earthian form and I would give him these:

[Golgo-13]

..if Megs does get an Earth mode, i don't want him to be much bigger than Prime. They're supposed to be about the same size. SS is huge compared to Prime. I've always liked the fact that SS in the cartoon was about the same height of about Ironhide in their bot forms, so they can go toe to toe in a brawl.

[Avangarde]

I still like the idea of Megatron as some form of tank, much like his G2 form (minus the cammo finish)

[Golgo-13]

^That would be ideal to me, but i don't know how he would want to go from an airborne alt mode, to one that's land based. It just seems like a tactical downgrade. I guess they could explain it by saying, since he suffered damaged via the Allspark in TF1 his previous powers of flight are now hindered.

[Avangarde]

That or go become a triple changer much like Blitzwing and have a Jet/Tank alternate form.

[shadowdog]

I wouldn't mind him TFing into something that didn't fly, becasue can't all Decepticons fly in robot form anyway?

[Golgo-13]

^In the cartoon. That wasn't established in the movie. I don't remember seeing ANY of the TF's flying in robot form in the movie.

[Avangarde]

Well Starscream was in robot mode when taking out those Jets above the city but he's a jet himself so that may not count.

[shadowdog]

that makes sense. yeah, i couldn't rmemeber if they flew in the film or not.

[Joseph Sun]

I dont think it necesarry for him to get an earth form, it will be nice, but not important. If he does choose a jet, of course we know his pride wont let him turn into something less advance then starscream so...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f0/F35test_edit.jpg/800px-F35test_edit.jpg

the f-35 lightning 2 which wont go into service until 2011 will be the only obvious choice.

of course I was thinking tank like some of the others as well.

[D.Rex]

I dont think hed chose an earth form, hes megatron hes big, powerful, and extremely arrogant he despises earth hed never emulate the technology, besides i think its better for him to be an alien jet

[Julliant]

Megatron had this semi-transformed mode allowing him to fly in robot mode. Seen before he tosses Jazz and steps on him, then tears him into two.

[The Dutch Hulk]

I still like the idea of Megatron as some form of tank, much like his G2 form (minus the cammo finish)

I going with your idea ! Expect that i like the paintjob lol !

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Methusalen/G2Megatron.jpg

Maybe a updated Abrams M1A1-tank

I think they did an ok job explaining it in the first movie, being "Autonomous robotic life forms" or whatever and Ratchet simplifying it to 'Autobots'. Translations are always funny, but one can assume "Decepticon" had a similar backstory.

Bumblebee was a weird name though. Why would a giant alien robot be name after an obscure organic Earth creature?

Maybe bumblebee had a different name on Cybertron? Bumblebee might be the name he gave to himself on earth to try to feel more comfortable fitting in. Before, Optimus and the other autobots landed on earth Bumblebee probably sent out a signal to all the autobots about his name change and the reason he decided to change it.

[izimfan]

i agree with umbrax,he has no intrest in an earthly disquise even if he was defeated the first time hes not going to give in (im judgeing this by the characters personality)it would portray him as weak otherwise....so i dont think that'll be good.

[Riddle_Me_This]

Megatron doesn't pick an earth form cause he feels it is beneath him to do so. He doesn't feel the need to "disguise" himself to a planet of insects. And as for him ever becoming a "gun" or "cannon" that other decepticons use....it won't happen. how much sense does it make for the almighty leader of the decepticons to be completely useless unless he has someone to carry him around?

He could become a gun/cannon whatever but whats stopping him from being able to fire himself why does he need ''starscream'' to fire him.

MEGATRON WILL GET TANK IN TF2 FOR SURE IT COMFIRM ....

:dry: ehh, I'd take that info with a grain of salt.

[Venom]

His earth form doesn't need to be an existing piece of earth technology. It could be a fictional prototype vehicle/superweapon

[lars573]

Well Starscream was in robot mode when taking out those Jets above the city but he's a jet himself so that may not count.
Megatron also flew in robot mode by extending wings and boosters.

[Slusho]

I don't know if I should believe this story...

This is a good direction they are taking, i figured the autobots would be the one's to ressurrect Megatron, its a good indication of how desperate their fight with The Fallen will get.

And Megatron as an alien tank will just be awesome.

:dry: ehh, I'd take that info with a grain of salt.

Why, exactly?

It sounds like Bay is going an X-Men 2 route with Revenge of the Fallen

[Movies205]

This plot line been done far before X2 came along...

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Which is a good way to go IMO, that was a great example of an excellent sequel. Now, lets hope he doesnt follow X3 for TF3 or we could be in for an embarrasing threequel.

True, but X2 did it excellently IMO.

[DeaDheaD]

It's been done all over the place, X2 was just what came to mind(since, you know, the comic book thing), :up:

agreed

[izimfan]

i wouldnt mind an alien tank form...it'll fit in with the big gun thing...

[cosmicherosa]

Maybe a modified Cybertronan version of the new U.S. Army prototype: 2AZe8jOuGpo

[Batx69]

Id be up for that... No matter the cost.

[Avangarde]

If he was a tank it would be a down size from his Cybertronian form.

[Batx69]

Well BumbleBee Upsized durring the movie, Frenzy downsized and the allspark definatly mass shifted. So what if his vehicle form down sizes it doesnt limit his destructive power or his robot form and may give him a real arm canon this time.

[Troy_Parker]

It's A Tank, Deal With It.

i like your thinking...very true indeed

[Chris B]

If we are to assume that the Fallen will appear and the Autobots and Decepticons are going to team-up, then this doesn't sound all that out there. Though I would be skeptical about Megatron becoming a tank. It would seem to weird of a transition from the alien jet form. Besides, what model could they really use? Once upon a time, the M1 Abrams would've made the most sense, but after Brawl took that...

[Avangarde]

http://www.thedctraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/lockheed_sr-71_blackbird-in-flight.jpg

I still think this would be a better earth mode for Megatron, that being said I believe there is an outside chance that this is Megatron and the whole Jetfire thing is just false info leaked ala Bay style, I wouldn't underestimate Bay.

[izimfan]

i protest in megatron having in earth form, there is no way!!!
