Megatron Was Right...

"What? Transformers made from animals instead of vehicles and stuff? Doesn't sound so great, throw it to Kenner division, maybe they can make a quick buck or something."
Beast Wars, Machine Wars, Beast Machines... seeing a pattern? Coming soon: "Wars Wars"

Megatron's goal by that point was to be the one and only controlling mind of Cybertron rather than to rule over it.
Tigermegatron wrote:In beastmachines,the reason why BM Megatron is badly damaged & on a life support harness when the BW Maximals arrive on cybertron. is because BM Megatron fought the dinobots led by magmatron & the beast mutants before the maximals returned home to cybertron. from the looks of it megatron got severe battle damage & needed to be attached to that life support harness.
That wasn't a life support harness Megatron was in, it was a harness to control the Vehicons and functions of the planet. And the damage was likely caused by the multiple failed attempts to purge himself of his beast mode. Megatron never fought the Dinobots or the Mutants.
In the first episode of the 1984 TF cartoon. megatron was successful at taking over planet cybertron. the autobots on cybertron were resistance fighters. after their 4 million sleep on earth,shockwave secured cybertron for megatron. the only one's fighting for control of cybertron after MTMTE episodes were the female autobots. shockwave was so strong he could fight the femeale autobots by himself.
I wouldn't say Shockwave had secured Cybertron. Perhaps he strengthened the Decepticons position, but there were still plenty of Autobots fighting the Decepticons on Cybertron. It wasn't until the animated movie that we learn that the Autobots have finally been forced to retreat from Cybertron to the moon bases, but even then, they still are an army making it difficult for the Decepticons to hold the planet.

In Beast Machines however, Megatron had won. There was no one left for him to fight, at least until 4 Maximals arrived and with the Oracle's help, formed a resistance against him. And this Megatron had managed to conquer the planet with out a war that lasted millions of years unlike the original Megatron.

BM megatron wasn't in charge of cybertron for millions of years. at best a few years passed by before the BW Maximals returned to cybertron.

had it been millions of years like you suggested. than history would have been re-written. history wasn't re-written.

What Sparky said. BM Megs took over the planet in about 5 minutes even after having his ass handed to him in the Beast Wars. And the Autobots weren't freedom fighters in MTMTE, EVERYONE was loosing the war because there was no more energy anywhere.

I didn't say BM Megatron was in charge for millions of years, I said he conquered the planet without a war that lasted millions of years.
