How to use Megatron effectively?

Home Forums Angry Birds Transformers Forum How to use Megatron effectively?

  • I have to admit, despite the massive damage potential from the Megatrons, I still hate them because I find it difficult to destroy the gold cubes. Most of the time all they’ll do is fling the gold cubes around or knock them over, but not actually do any damage.

    Not to mention that when there’s one of those gravity distortions up from Megatron’s last shot, you can’t fire another shot through it.

    So how do people play Megatron to make him more effective?

    I usually just fire right in the middle of the structure so he pulls the entire fortress. For getting gold blocks I wait until I have a nice clear path and make a straight shot right to it. Usually it hits it but sometimes is hits the block below it throwing the gold block right off the map. I can’t say this is the best way but its the only way I know how to do it.

    My effective way to play Megatron is to not play him. I keep him for the last and hope the “wrong event clearing” will get rid of him for me. I do remember occasions when megatron yielded a decent score (above 2500 without video doubling, for me), but invariably I only make slightly under 1000.

    Hitting squarely at a target with Megatron, after his vortex clears, is the only way I know I have a shot of hitting it, like partshade said. The issue is the vortex is usually still swirling when a gold block is within range.

    If I were Megatron’s mum, I’d ground him until he set right the mess of blocks and still-breathing pigs flailed all over his events. I’d also ask him why he can’t be more like his sibling Bludgeon.

    Shockingly, the way to succeed with him is to upgrade him a lot. Especially Dark Megatron. Eventually, his damage gets high enough that a direct hit on the gold cube will usually 1 shot it, solving the entire problem.
    The trouble is, as you guys noticed, until he’s strong enough to 1 shot an Energon cube, he’s rather frustrating to use!

    Sigh, I’ve got both of my Megatrons at L8 already.

    I played a Dark Megatron level today. It was hilarious to watch the Shotgun pigs get launched off the screen :D.

    I found that shooting a block right next to a cube (usually to the right) either destroy it with a pull, or at least let it fall close so the second shot can finish it. Thars’s with the ultkmate megatron (lvl 10), upgraded dark one can oneshot cubes directly.

    An Ultimate Megatron got me my worst Gold Dome level ever. I ended the level with barely 8,000 coins, and that was after all three bonus multipliers were applied.

    It was a L9 Ultimate Megatron on an “Easy” wild west node.

    Heck, I’ve had better scores playing non-Dome levels with non-Ultimate type characters.

    Funny @optimuspig Ultimate Megatron got me my best gold dome ever. I think it greatly depends on the level.

    Here’s a pretty important tip for megatron:

    Your shot *CAN* pass thru the vortex from a previous shot… IN THEORY.
    What actually happens, is blocks and stuff get sucked into the vortex, and it is this debris that blocks megatrons next shot from passing thru.

    So…. If you time it right, and there’s not much junk flying around, it IS possible to shoot thru the vortex. I do it all the time, albeit I sometimes fail, and often you just don’t have a clear shot whatsoever.
