Transformers: War for Cybertron

The weapon Megatron turned into was a P38 U.N.C.L.E. Which stirred up some controversy. Needless to say the asking price for this toy can be high
 
Well, he is a tank now, prequel or not. They discontinued the handgun look of Megatron per parents complaints.
 
Yea, because tanks are much less intimidating and threatening than guns:shadedshu
 
A toy tank in the hands of a kid doesn't look like it will kill you. An accurate reproduction of a Walther handgun does to some people. There was a lot of controversy over old Megatron back when he first came out about him looking too realistic as a handgun.

point something that looks like a gun at a cop.

point something that looks like a foot high tank at a cop.


see which one gets you shot, tazed, and arrested.
 
Oh well. I guess it's just another symptom of a culture based on grazing and fear. Megatron will always be fondly remembered as a gun, and no amount of whining from gun fearing weirdos will change that. At least until the prosecution of thought crimes.

its based on a culture where pointing guns at people gets you shot at in return. you wouldnt appreciate some kid holding a knife to your throat, same goes for having a realistic looking gun pointed at you.
 
+1 to what Mussels said. Imagine you go to someone's house and their kid takes Megatron out and points it at you. If you didn't know that was a Transformer, you would seriously have to wonder if it was a toy or if it was real. I had gun Megatron and semi rig Optimus Prime and both were cool as heck in their first forms but Megatron could get you in trouble if you pointed him at the wrong person.
 
So anyways, I just watched Transformers 2 for the first time. Wow, that was horrible. The ending was ok, but God did this movie suck. I really think they should give up and not make a 3rd. If it theoretically took 50 million to make this movie, one dollar at most went into the script and acting.

I had that Megatron. I also had parents that taught me right from wrong and if they found out I pointed any toy gun at any person I would be punished.

I was not pleased with the second Transformers movie as well. I tried to watch it, but didn't make it half way through.
 
Michael Bay is pro at f'ing up the Transformers lore. It seemed really similar to the first one with the make out scene at the end and whatnot. I'm grateful someone brought Transformers back to the big screen, but a lot of other people probably wouldn't have taken so many creative liberties as Bay did.

I think they should just focus more on the transformers and less on the Witwicky.
