Game Informer has posted another War for Cybertron profile! This time it is our favorite villain: Megatron!
This from Game Informer:
"As the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron has a goal that fans of the cartoons know all too well: to win control of Cybertron for his faction and exterminate the Autobots. Throughout War For Cybertron, he will be searching for the means to achieve this end, a mysterious substance known as Dark Energon.
Just in case Megatron's attitude didn't make him imposing enough, his frame certainly should. The whole of his right arm is covered by a giant fusion cannon, a powerful one-of-a-kind weapon that can destroy a whole city block with a single blast. This power will be on display throughout War For Cybertron as Megatron launches powerful attacks against his enemies, including a brutal sacking of the Autobot home city of Iacon.
Though Megatron will greatly reward loyalty, he's also not concerned with destroying supporters the second they let him down. As such, he's got the helpful ability to Mark Targets (an ability he shares with Optimus Prime) but also the more selfish Drain ability, which will presumably allow him to take the power from his enemies and use it to fuel himself. When switching to vehicle mode, Megatron transforms into a powerful hovering tank that also puts his powerful fusion cannon to use."
As you can see, they have totally redesigned Megatron's look while staying true to his G1 form. The head sculpt has a more mechanical rugged quality that is dare I say more intimidating. I am still on the fence about his alt mode though. It may look like a hover tank but it looks like a hover boat. Either way I am exceptionally pleased with the overall design of ol' Megs.
Within the next two weeks, Game Informer will have one more fan favorite profile along with several interviews and features that showcase the making of this new installment in Transformer lore.
