As many know, you can pretty much file and get granted for pretty much anything under the sun, real or imagined. Thanks to Google Patents, you can now find many of these applications online. A recently found one is the Megatron patent that had been approved. Especially interesting is that the file date is before Megatron was available stateside, but wasn't approved until 1986, shortly before he was replaced in the Transformers: The Movie. Makes you wonder what other TFs patents are out there.

It's a pity how they took such miraculous toys from our childhood and destroyed them. Megatron is supposed to transform into A PISTOL, not a tank! Get the story straight guys.
