[edit] Should be listed under "Animation villains"

Awhile back I edited the article to put Megatron into the categories of the following:

"Fictional mass murderers" "Fictional evil geniuses" "Animation villains"

The first two have since been kept, but the third one was quickly taken out, but I was alright with that happening, since I assume the person who removed it figured that because he is listed under "Predacons" and "Vehicons", his status as a villain is already there (since both the article for Vehicon and the article for Predacon are listed under "Villain groups"), and so actually listing Megatron as a villain would be completely redundant. However, I now see that the original Megatron IS listed under "Animation villains", as is Galvatron, despite both also being listed under their respective villainous Transformers factions, which themselves are listed as "Villain groups". There can't be a double standard here, I don't think. I really think that this Megatron should indeed be listed under the category "Animation villains". I really don't think that saying he is simply a Predacon or a Vehicon is enough, as really he was far more than that, particularly in Beast Machines, where it actually seems that calling him a Vehicon is erroneous. I mean, he created the Vehicons, and led them, but I don't think he really was one himself, no matter what form he was in. So, I would really like to put him under the category "Animation villains", but I'm afraid someone would once again remove him from the category.

[edit] Taxobox

Shouldn't Megatron have a taxobox? Most other Beast Wars/Beast Machines characters seem to have one( as well as all the other Megatrons)? SMegatron 09:59, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah. Thanks, Mathingwash.81.158.170.168 13:07, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New image

Quick question, but as the Optimus Primal article has the IDW Beast Wars cover of the 3 versions of Optimus as its taxobox image is it possible to get the Megatron variant cover of the three versions of him as this one's image? It would provide a good comparison with the Primal article, as well as being much better than the current image. --81.158.169.64 10:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree with whoever put that up originally - it looks much better now. Well done Chris. SMegatron 09:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

I added mention of every time a new character came under command of Megatron or was lost to him. I think it's important enough to mention, as he is a commander. So when Blackarachnia or anyone else joined or left his command, I think it should be mentioned.

[edit] Rubber Duck?

.....a rubber duck? Where's your proof of this? -66.204.73.130

[edit] Timelines

Now that the BotCon Timelines comic showing the prelude to the Beast Wars has been officially distributed through Diamond, should the section describing the events in it be moved from the BotCon section to a separate Timelines section? It seems more approprite now its not just a BotCon story. SMegatron 11:46, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I just rejigged the section a bit and was thinking the same thing. Heck, maybe it could even be moved up to before the "Beast Wars" animated series entry to put the storyline of the article in chronological order. - Chris McFeely 12:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Was thinking muuch the same thing. The only reason I havent is that I thought the animated series stuff should take precedence. SMegatron 13:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Alright, Ive now oved Timelines to its own section. Regards. SMegatron 17:12, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
