  • Rampage (also known as Protoform X) is the awful result of scientific experimentation gone awry. He is a serial killer and cannibal, with an immortal spark that ensures his twisted brand of horror and misery will live on as long as he does (forever, presumably). Rampage detects and draws strength from the emotions of others, literally feeding on the pain and suffering he causes.

    One thing I always found really fascinating about Rampage’s design is that considering his beast mode is a crab it would be all too easy to just have his beast mode claw arms be his robot mode arms, but his robot mode actually has a proper set of regular humanoid arms with hands.

      He may not have the raw power of Rampage, but he has shown consistently that he has intelligence that may rival that of Tarantulas.
      Megatron's intelligence, especially with technology and such, almost always seems overlooked, I think. But that's also what's unique about this Megatron. His intelligence in the field of science and linguistics is actually very impressive and sets him apart from all the other Megatrons. It may also explain why he was the closest to accomplishing his goals.

    I mean in the G1 continuity OG Megatron was built 'to be the biggest jerk imaginable' by the other Decepticons. Because they saw that as leadership qualities. And in context it makes sense.
    Before they built Megs a leader would rule for a bit and just get bodied by somebody vying for the top spot. So with every leader having a very short tenure (Sometimes moments.) it was anarchy. Nothing got done. They needed a bot so scary only a regardacon would even THINK of stepping to him.
    What they don't answer clearly in G1 is was Megs a modified protoform or a con that went under the saw for 'modifications'.
