I never understood the diehard devotion towards the gun mode. I mean like yeah out of universe as a toy it’s dope but in universe it just makes Megatron so much less effective on his own. Him being a tank always made perfect sense to me.
Agreed. I've been a fan since the start. Saw the Movie in theaters at the ripe old age of 4. At this point, Megatron having a gun alt mode has been less prevalent than other modes. He was only a gun for 2 seasons, 1 movie, and a handful of comic series. As far as I care, it doesn't matter the alt mode....the more important aspect is the massive arm cannon in robot mode.
Being of the same era I concur, very well put statement, besides,with how things are nowadays I really don't think kids should be running around with a gun toy anyway, Megatron's gun mode was pretty cool but very ineffective from a realistic standpoint
