The Intergalactic Highway

I was just having a discussion with Wonko on MSN, and I think I had a revelation about Dragons (in the TF universe of course) rather than try to reinact it again, I'm just gunna copy-paste our convo here)

PS Two Writer Down= Wonko, Lockdown=me

Two Writers Down says:
Well of course
Two Writers Down says:
That was Megatron and Optimus' characters to shine
Two Writers Down says:
Especially Megatron
Lockdown says:
awww
Lockdown says:
you and your dragon fetish
Lockdown says:
lol
Two Writers Down says:
I can't resist that Dragon Mode
Two Writers Down says:
It states unlimited power
Lockdown says:
but...where did it come from?
Lockdown says:
oh my god!
Lockdown says:
i just this second realised something that might now be true O.O
Lockdown says:
TO THE RETCON BUS!!!!
Two Writers Down says:
What?What?What is it?
Lockdown says:
well in BW2, Galvatron tells the computer to give him the strongest alt modes on the planet (later reveled as future earth)
Lockdown says:
well what if meg's introduction of a dragon being on earth created galvatron's alt mode?
Lockdown says:
AND
Lockdown says:
What if the depictions of the proto humans seeing megs created the dragon legends
Lockdown says:
meaning that megs has a dragon mode because he knows about it from the past, but he might have created the legend himself
Lockdown says:
*head explodes*
Two Writers Down says:
You figured it out
Two Writers Down says:
Tell everyone!
Two Writers Down says:
Spread this out!
Two Writers Down says:
Tell the Wiki!
Lockdown says:
wiki wont believe me <<

lol that's a pretty cool idea. I'm still trying to figure out where Meg's dragon mode came from in the first place, though...not that I'm complaining

Going that theres no logical reason why Megatron became a transmetal 2 dragon.. I'm going with "The writers and hasbro model designers thought it was cool"

:3

I can think of a logical explanation:

Beast Wars is connected to G1. . . And in G1 there wasa dragon. :3

Remeber it? It was....Decepticons in King Arthur's Court or something liek that, where Starscream, Rumble, Ramjet, and a couple others plus Spike and some Autobots went into the past where Merlin was magical and there was a dragon. o_O (lol Starscream was scared! 8D) Assuming they traveled to medieval Earth in their dimension, as implied, instead of an AU, then Dragons in G1 are canon and, thus, canon in Beast Wars as well.

one of the most random episodes ever... lol

Maybe when Megatron took on G1 Megs's spark and fell in the lava....um...well HOW he went from Trex to dragon is beyond me, but maybe that merging of the sparks caused him to scan some dragon bones down there or something. Optimus gained extra vehicle modes on top of his TM forms, so maybe he scanned the Cybertronian vehicular alt modes of the Abots around himwhen he changed, while Megatron fell into the lava so he got a more organic upgrade.

(btw, I don't like his dragon alt mode. They could have made it soooooo much cooler, but his wings flap pathetically, he's not particularly fast, his neck and head are too thin and reedy compared to the meaty Trex head, and his body is annoyingly stocky. :/ A Draco AKA Dragonheart-like look would have been better for him, imo.)

That is of course going by the show. Like has been said (and REALLLLLLY ANNOYS ME!! DARN IT HASBRO!! DX) they do a lot of stuff to sell new toys.

((I almost don't consider the end of Beast Wars entirely canon in the Beast Wars sense since they rushed it and did stuff to sell toys. Which doesn't count as a legit canon-establishing strategy to me. :/ imo ))

I think I'm going with NK on this one.
