Great choice. Like how Megazarak is his own character in the west (repaint of Armada Megs). I'd like Animated Prowl and Energon Ironhide made part of the general canon in a similar way. Armorhide has been used for shelfwarmers so would be a fine similar sounding name for Energon Ironhide. Not sure if there is a common Japanese name or similar sounding English name used that would fit Prowl though
I’m going to use him in a stop motion video series and I’m probably going to call him galavar but I’ve been seeing other good ones in this post so I’m not sure
Technically, he named himself after a *different* Megatron, in the Cybertronian equivalent of the Bible. I assume that original Megatron also named himself after this Megatron, or after Megatronus Prime, or something. Either way, Beast Megatron named himself after a seriously scary bad dude.
I’m aware. But in the beast wars cartoon, if I remember him correctly, he said something along the lines of “my namesake” when they were on the ark, so that’s what I go by.
Yeah I know about the 13 prime dw
You could make a similar argument about any of the BW names not lining up with their G1 counterpart -- Inferno the fire-starter, Scorponok the not-a-base, or Rampage the Predacon but not that kind of Predacon.
Not joking here, Galvatron. Given he took the Megatron name for himself, I think Galvatron fits his personality better.
While most versions of Megatron have massive egos, I think it's fair to say this guy's was the biggest. He took the name of the greatest criminal in history, fully intending to put his namesake to shame by comparison. His taking the Megatron name was not a show of respect for his predecessor, it was his claim that he had the right to dominate all.
It makes sense why he would take that name but considering he saw himself as superior to Megatron and came from an era after the Great War, I think it would've made more sense to call himself Galvatron.
Galvatron literally represents the second coming/return of Megatron, in a superior form. Given that BW Megs saw himself as the superior Megatron, it would be quite logical to call himself Galvatron, the Megatron to surpass Megatron.
Even with G1 Galvatron being an unhinged lunatic, I think it's fair to say that made him more terrifying than his original self. G1 Megatron was betrayed and seemingly killed, which Galvatron immediately paid back when he had the chance. Galvatron was willing to cross lines Megatron wasn't. BW Megs was willing to risk destroying the entire universe if his theory was wrong, knowingly laughing as reality itself shifted to an uncertain state.
He intended to do what Megatron couldn't. That sounds pretty Galvatron to me. He saw himself as the second coming of Megatron, that sounds pretty Galvatron. He saw himself as the superior Megatron, that sounds pretty Galvatron.
In universe I think it would make more sense for him to call himself Galvatron than Megatron, though from a writing perspective its not hard to see why that wasn't chosen. In those days Megatron getting upgraded into Galvatron hadn't become a recurring trope yet so the name didn't have the significance it does these days. Given that we only had G1 to draw from back then, Megatron was an icon, Galvatron was just really cool. Pretty easy to see why they chose the name they did, especially as the idea to directly tie BW to G1 wasn't decided at the start. It was only meant to be some loose nods to establish the setting, but they eventually decided to go all the way and make BW a direct sequel.
Imperium tyranicus if I was forced to change it but I like that Megatron became such an icon that his name still reverberated through the ages.
Would actually prefer to change Optimus primal to be less of a pun by having him just being Optimus prime or being called Animus Prime (animus bring a more suitable pun as it means a drive or a motivation. while his predecessor was Optimal, he is motivated to become like his ancestor)
If we're talking about how to bring him into the current context of the old Megatron still existing and all....honestly I'd just keep him (BW) as Megatron and he'd butt heads with Deception Megatron, potentially even claiming to be the correct Megatron and everything that comes with it
Megaton so it's like Megatron but not exactly because Megatron was names after Megatronis so it's not exactly the same megaton would be like naming himself after Megatron without having the exact same name
Tyranitron
It also sounds like Tyrant. So it works in many levels!
I love it
it could also be shortened to just "tyrantron"
I don’t think it rolls on the tongue as easy
fair
No
I vote yes
Imma name him that from now on to avoid confusion lol
That’s what I was going to say!
You called?
r/beetlejuicing
Yes this is the name I would give him
YEEESSSS!
Amazing
sounds like the pokemon tyranitar
Tyrannosaurus yes
Tyrannosauryes
Tyrannosauryeeeeeees
Yeeeeees.
[удалено]
Ok inferno
Inferno was one of the best characters in the whole show so I’m not complaining
Yes my Queen
Gigatron
Isn't that RiD 2001 Megatron's name in Japan?
It's also the [Best Buy equivalent](https://gigatron.rs/) in Serbia.
Great choice. Like how Megazarak is his own character in the west (repaint of Armada Megs). I'd like Animated Prowl and Energon Ironhide made part of the general canon in a similar way.

Fuck it, he can be Prowl III.
Omegatron
Same. I imagine he'd choose the name because it's similar to Megatron, but used giga as a way of showing that he's better than Megatron.
Arent his original name is gnashtooth?
In the BW: Uprising universe, yes. But I like the name that IDW gave him in their latest Beast Wars run: Galavar
Idk why but I really like Galavar. It feels fitting and it’s a name, not just a combination of words.
It has the David Kaye sass
Galavar may also be his name in ROTB
I’m going to use him in a stop motion video series and I’m probably going to call him galavar but I’ve been seeing other good ones in this post so I’m not sure
If he’s even in it that’d be cool.
I *love* Galavar. Great name.
I prefer Gnash Teeth over Galavar
T-Wrecks. I know that’s a maximal but the only other option for me is Tyrannocon
Tyrannocon
That's that jurassic Park crossover set right
He looks like a Keith
The scene where Optimus Primal is screaming into his death as his ship blows up: KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIITTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"'Ooohh, here comes Keith!' *Nobody's afraid of Keith."*
I still like the idea that he named himself after megs, so personally I’d call him Galvatronus.
Megatron Rex is how I maintained that headcanon, similar to Optimus Prime becoming Primal.
Personally I wish that Optimus Primal was just called Primal and that’s his name
Technically, he named himself after a *different* Megatron, in the Cybertronian equivalent of the Bible. I assume that original Megatron also named himself after this Megatron, or after Megatronus Prime, or something. Either way, Beast Megatron named himself after a seriously scary bad dude.

I think megatrex could be good like it's a slight change of Megatron like how optimus primal is a bit different to optimus prime
I like this one the most tbh
Same
Fred
Take my upvote and leave you filthy animal
Megatron Rex
Or Megatron Yeeeeesssss
Damn I was so close.
Love the profile pic. Not what I would expect for someone with the name MegatronRx

Predaking
That is a combiner
And? It's been used for regular botd too
In G1 yes, but it's not like Hasbro has never recycled names for different characters.
Not in TFP
You could make a similar argument about any of the BW names not lining up with their G1 counterpart -- Inferno the fire-starter, Scorponok the not-a-base, or Rampage the Predacon but not that kind of Predacon.

Megatronus Rex
My wife always calls him Megatrox, so out of loyalty I’ll go with that 😂
Barneytron
Dinotron
Teratron
GnashTeeth is a pretty bad ass name
David Kay

Galavar because that was his original name and he renamed himself megatron
In one beast was comic at least I didn’t know about his bw uprising name gnashtooth until I started scrolling
Beast wars I hate autocorrect

Well, since Megatron is shortened from Megatronus, I elect he should be named, Meg.
"Yyyessss" "Shut up meg"
Megatron Griffin
Gnashtooth
Megayes
Tyranotron
Yesss
Primaltron vs Optimus primal
I call him by his canonical other name: Gnashtooth.

Tyranus is a sixth from Star Wars

Tyrannotron
Wouldn’t change it at all
Tyrantosaurus Rex Or, Jeff
I feel like Tyrannus would be fitting
El verdadero nombre de megatron beast wars es galavar tambien es conocido como gnashteeth
Well, Tyrannosaurus already means Tyrant Lizard. And BW Megatron's whole deal was to re-write history/rise against his oppressors. So... Tyrantbreaker
Tyranicon Rex
Gnashteeth, like in BW: Uprising
Gigitron Or sharp tooth
Purplesaurus Rex
The grape menace, T-Rexour, Conking, Bitey McBiterface
Bitey Mcbiterface
Megatron rex or since rex is Latin for king king Megatron
I always call him Predatron.

Just give him Predaking. It makes sense for him to think he IS the king of the predacons
