Honestly, Tyrannosaurus has fared pretty well in the modern era of paleontology. The "scavenger" claim has been conclusively debunked, if you're not a fan of feathers, most agree it either didn't have much or didn't have any, and it's believed that it may have hunted in groups for that added bit of terror. Hell, people have actually found some even weirder things about them: like, far from Jurassic Park's "they can't see you if you don't move" idea, they may have actually had some of the best vision of any dinosaur.

You can totally tell that the toy designers said at some point “we want his T-Rex mode to be able to stand toe-to-toe with the T-Rex toy from Jurassic Park.” And yeah.

@misterbadguy7325 3 жыл бұрын

@@optimoosejones9493 Well, sorta. It's canon in Beast Wars Uprising, which is an alternate continuity. The whole idea is that he used to have a relatively lame, generic name, and as he started to accumulate more power and his ego started swelling, he went "fuck it, I'm going by Megatron now" (which is implied to have happened in canon). Given how 'Megatron', in Beast Wars, is mentioned to be the name of what is essentially the Antichrist in Cybertronian religion, it's kind of like naming yourself "Lucifer." The story in question was also a pretty heavy riff on Breaking Bad, meaning it's kind of his "Walter White->Heisenberg" moment. It doubles as a reference to the fact that there was a Mini-Con out there named Gnashteeth who looks uncannily like Beast Wars Megatron. It's kind of retroactively turning that Mini-Con into his younger self.

@robotlorekeeper9880 3 жыл бұрын

In the new Beast Wars comics, his name's Galavar before he takes up the Megatron mantle. It's up to you if that's more dumb or less dumb than Gnashteeth. Either way, I like it for some reason.

I think BW megatron is one of the best of the original Beast Wars figs, and I think history has proven that; the fact that the Masterpiece is literally just him but with slightly less kibble speaks volumes about his engineering, especially from 1996 OG T-Rex megatron was my very first transformer to cost more than $10 back in the day, and he holds a very special place in my heart for that reason.

Being a late 80's baby, by the time I knew what was cool Transformers was pretty much over, my first ever (and for a long time, only) g1 toy was first aid from defensor which I got in like 94 and totally forgot about for years. So when Beast Wars came about it was my first true entry point into Transformers. Sadly never owned Megs and the closest I got to Primal was the baboon guy who broke right out the packaging and was replaced with lego after the store being straight up out of BW figured post Christmas. So at some point this year I will grab a Kingdom dino Megs for my 10 year old me who never had one.

Okay, I was expecting a crude joke of some kind at the pause after "purple monster", but the FF victory them legitimately cracked me up. Also, bonus points for the Nietzsche/Neature big-brain wordplay. Ultra-class BW Megs definitely wasn't without its problems, as was the case for so many of the BW designs, but at the time, when the initial offering was the bat-gator 2-pack touted as the G1 characters inexplicably in much smaller, semi-organic bodies, it definitely had an appeal for me of, "Oh, a better toy, and it's not necessarily the G1 Megatron; this might actually not be terrible," quickly escalating to "not bad" upon playing with it and then and well above that once the TV show started running.

Beast Wars was, and still is, my Transformers. When I became an "adult collector" (or some less posh sounding variation of that term), this figure was one of the first ones I tracked down. Got it 100% complete for an absolute steal on eBay from someone who clearly didn't know what they were selling. Holding it in my hands for the first time was an almost religious experience. He's goofy and stupid and I love him, and he will always have a spot in prime position (or Primal position, I guess) on my collection shelf.
