Since you guys brought up Battlestars earlier, can we get a post talking Super/Ultra Megatron, or at least show off some pictures so folks can see how incredibly awesome his design is?
Thereās not a tremendousĀ amount to say, so hey, why not! After Galvatron was buried under an iceberg by the Autobot Headmasters in the latter stages of The Headmasters anime in 1987ā¦
ā¦that was it for the OG Decepticon leader for a couple of years. Guys like Scorponok, Overlord, and Deathsaurus rose to replace him, but after their successive failures, 1991ā²s āReturn of Convoyā storyline saw evil alien Dark Nova resurrect Galvatron after something like 20 in-universe years and reformatted him into āSuper Megatron,ā to counter Optimus Prime, who had just been revived from his own death asĀ āStar Convoy.ā
After Optimus and his team, theĀ āBattlestars,ā merged into the colossalĀ āTriple Combination Battlestar Attackā vehicle, it became apparent thatĀ āSuperā Megatron wasnāt cutting it, so Dark Nova upgraded him again intoĀ āUltraā Megatron:
Even that wasnāt enough, and Ultra Megatron got blown to biscuits, but Dark Nova himself then merged with his remains to becomeĀ āStar Giant.āĀ
But of course our heroes prevailed and Star Giant was destroyed. 2013ā²s MetrowarsĀ slipped an extra chapter into Megatronās story, as it revealed that Ultra Megatronās body was recovered by Straxus, who attempted to brainwash him via a mental link, observing that if Megatron did not stop fighting him, then MegatronāsĀ ādiabolical natureā would soonĀ ācrumble away.ā
This little retcon served as an explanation for Megatronās restoredĀ āsanity circuitsā in the Japanese Generation 2Ā storyline, when he worked with Optimus Prime to form theĀ āCybertron Allianceā⦠until humans killed an old friend of his, and everything went south again.
