Megatron’s original name, D-16, is a reference to the Japanese serial number of the original first-generation Megatron toy released by Takara in 1984
Line of Events
The untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, best known as archenemies but once brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever. Chris Hemsworth, Keegan-Michael Key, Brian Tyree Henry and director Josh Cooley discuss the true identities of the Transformers and share what excited them to make the journey to Cybertron. The letter D is short for Destron, the Japanese name for the Decepticons used in older media, while the number 16 designated the original Megatron toy as the sixteenth release in the Japanese toy line. When the Iacon 5000 competitors transform for the race, a purple Transformer jet already has a pair of red light effects floating behind its back, attached to nothing, before transforming into a jet.

One is halfway through the credits, with Badassitron and the other is Megatron at the end of the credits. Several international releases of the film (including the UK) have edited to remove Orion’s “finger transformation” seconds earlier, as well as changing any mention of Bee’s “knife hands” to refer to them as “sword hands” instead. It may be likely that Paramount pre-cut the film for said territories.

Transformers One is the BEST Transformers movie!
High-octane action, hilarious, and most importantly emotionally deep with its themes of friendship + layers on social hierarchy brings to life revealing pieces of the Transformers universe! It’s good. Very different from anything we’ve seen on the big screen. I’ll have to watch it a few more times.
It’s more than meets the eye!
Very excited to see where this takes the franchise! The animation is truly epic, with visuals that are more than meets the eye. The star-studded cast brought out the best in all the action, emotion, heart, and humor, making this the Transformers movie we’ve all been waiting for!
