Perhaps it's someone attempting to say "pwns" with a lisp.

Say what you like about Megs' new head, but at least he doesn't turn into a fucking pistol.

Is that like a sex pistol? I kinda wish "alien jet" didn't mean "shitty thing we threw together" but oh well.

A pistol? How does that work? I thought Megatron turned into a tank.

In the G1 cartoons, he turned into a pistol that someone (usually Starscream) would use.

Subsequent iterations made him a tank. I think because the toy companies didn't want to keep making big toy guns and somehow a tank is more PC.

The original toy the first Megatron is based on was supposed to be a toy gun that turned into a toy sized robot as it was part of Takara's Microman: Microchange line. All of the original Transformers that turned into small objects (like Soundwave and his mini-cassettes) were from this line while most of the rest were from Takara's Diaclone: Car Robots line. When they made the show and comics Megatron and Soundwave could shrink. Megatron became a tank in many of the later shows and also a jet sometimes.

Eh, I much prefer that one's Giant Fucking Dragon incarnation.

Megatron should transform into self-propelled artillery. Dragon Megatron was ok, but a bit cliched, given the number of dragon villains in fantasy cartoons.

It was a Man From U.N.C.L.E. PPK with scope, stock, and barrel extension.

I second that. For someone who's been little more than a giant ice sculpture for the past million years, Michael Bay's Megatron sure rocked the Autobots. And he actually killed someone, something G1 Megatron couldn't do for 21 years (from 1984 to 2005, not counting the millions spent in stasis aboard the Ark).

The new Megatron couldn't catch a nerdy kid and killed the black guy. Oh noes he's scary.

I guess you've never seen Transformers: The Movie, the 1980s one.

P38. Not a PPK. Whilst we're nitpicking and all. Totally different gun. And yeah, he was a P38 U.N.C.L.E. Special, the real P38 didn't have the scope, stock, and barrel extension, or the extended magazine.

Megatron went through the Autobots on that starship like they were out of date toys getting scrapped for the next lineup!

I knew that. I should have said that.

I blame the fact that I had just gotten up...
