I have placed a request in Talk:Galvatron to merger Megatron and Galvatron since these characters are the same even though an evolution of the character has occurred. Please post your reply in the Talk:Galvatron page. Misterrick 00:56, 16 October 2004 (UTC)

Many fans consider this beast version to be a "superior" version of Megatron, because of his unique personality.

This article is 34 kilobytes long. No other individual Transformers characters have several articles about them but should this one be the first one to be split? — JIP | Talk 18:22, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, Megatron (Beast Wars/Beast Machines) already exists. There's probably some duplicated content between the two, though.--Sean|Black 21:38, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not entirely convinced that RiD and Arm/Eng Megs need separate articles, myself.--Chris McFeely 3rd Jan 2006

I agree. I think Beast Wars Megs is the only one who needs a separate article.SMegatron 19:52, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese series modes

Just curious, but what are the alternate modes of Super Megatron, Ultra Megatron and Star Giant? I was going to add their alternate modes to the article but I can't seem to find them anywhere? SMegatron 19:38, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pervert Megatron

Shouldn't the Megatron with a cock for a tongue be mentioned here?

Someone removed my comments - I guess they thought I was joking:

Seems to be from a fully licensed line called "Kiss-Play" which has a hentai manga associated with it. However I know next to nothing about transformers but saw this mentioned in a few places --Charlesknight 13:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

-I'd agree, only it's not actually Megatron. It's one a team of Decepticons collectively known as "Legion," that just have Megatron-looking heads. - Chris McFeely 17:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gary Chalk

I'm just putting this on the talk page so that everyone can see and understand it. In this article's infobox, Megatron is credited as being voiced by Frank Welker in the original animated series, and by Gary Chalk in Beast Wars. Please understand that this is not claiming that Gary Chalk voiced the Megatron of Beast Wars and Beast Machines - it is not. That was David Kaye. The original G1 Megatron, however, made a guest appearance in Beast Wars in the episode titled "The Agenda, Part 2," in which he was voiced by Gary Chalk, hence the credit. And since this article is only about G1 Megatron, and not BW/BM Megatron, David Kaye should not be included in this infobox. Do we all understand? - Chris McFeely 21:59, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Seeing as a lot of people don't, here's Chalk's IMDB profile, with him listed as G1 Megatron abouthalfway down the page. I realise they're not perfect, but they've had 10 years to get it right SMegatron 12:35, 25 November 2006 (UTC).[1]

Also, for what its worth, I'll just mention that it's a semi-popular misconception that Blu Mankuma did Megs in "The Agenda." He didn't - Chris McFeely 19:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
