Illustrations[edit]

There're several photos of a truck in the commons:Category:Mack Trucks Historical Museum that is labeled as Megatron. Please check it and create a category if needed. Ain92 (talk) 11:13, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I checked them out and think we're okay as we are. The four shots of the truck all link back to macktrucks.com and say the truck was used as some sort of prop for Megatron in the third Transformers movie. They now reside in the Mack Trucks Historical Museum, which is why they're in that category. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 23:31, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. Can English Wikipedia use some of these images as illustrations somewhere? If no, why? Ain92 (talk) 20:38, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't ask Me! OliverRoguski (talk) 16:38, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A editing mistake?....[edit]

Excuse Me guys,but i think I have found a editing mistake in Infotmation classed under "Function"...at the very end of the list should their be punctuation or are we Going to leave it as it is in case new "Function" info arrives????Thanks OliverRoguski (talk) 15:11, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean add a period at the end of the lists? No, we should not do that because they are not complete sentences. Argento Surfer (talk) 16:48, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay-new here and would have asked same question if it wasn't for Oliver here... RodimusPrimal (talk) 17:18, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have just modified one external link on Megatron. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20080221202635/http://www.alteredstatesmag.com/features/qanda/bbudiansky_2.php to http://www.alteredstatesmag.com/features/qanda/bbudiansky_2.php

Galvatron should be its own page again. Please restore it[edit]

Galvatron once had his own page, which I believe should be restored, as the Galvatron character has enough information to warrant its return. In all honesty, the loss of the Galvatron page was a mistake to begin with. While most versions of the character do start out as Megatron, the original diverged so much from what Megatron was, he was effectively a new character. Warwolf (talk) 04:25, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@TTN: as the editor who put the redirect on Galvatron, can we get your thoughts on this? Thanks! DonIago (talk) 21:39, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone can bring it back seeing as it was BRD, but I'll just AfD it if so. I simply tried redirecting it seeing as it is relevant to one of the few actual notable characters. TTN (talk) 17:17, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input! DonIago (talk) 14:43, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hugo Weaving?[edit]

Shouldn’t he be listed in the voice actors list since he voiced the character in three films, seems a bit ridiculous to not include him, no? 82.28.177.24 (talk) 01:30, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He's listed in the infobox for the TCU further down the page. DonIago (talk) 03:20, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
