Yeah, same, but it kinda works with this design. Still, where did that start?

It looks like it started on the g1 toy

Ah, right, forgot about that. I'm assuming those were meant for the gun mode. If so, I wonder why those guns had that pattern...

Megatron is a Walther P38. While I can't find any pics of the Walther P38 done with those designs (or really any with designs) I do know that some Walther PPK models do feature some etching.

From what I know about the Walther P38 it was a gun used by the Germans in WWII. I think the designers wanted to make it look more interesting instead of just a flat metallic. Plus the fact that it does not feature a scope or stock like the cartoon does I think they were just trying to make it look cool and perhaps a touch unrealistic.
I wasn't around in the 80's but I do remember people in the 90's getting upset about toy cap guns. (I had a whole collection but I remember my Dad lecturing me about not pointing them at people and never to bring them to school.) Maybe it's fair to say that the sticker and etching makes Megatron look a little more like a toy in gun mode.

RODIMUS, MEGATRON and the exiled crew of the Lost Light realise that there's only one thing they need to do before they can resume their quest. Unfortunately, that thing is "save the world." Can the AUTOBOTS overcome the odds and save the day? To be honest, probably not.

Over 10 years. Good grief Charlie Brown. I know I'm getting old but that is kinda nuts! (Peanuts?)
I wholeheartedly agree with you on the IDW Vs Movie ongoing record. Not all of it has been great but in my opinion, with the three ongoings we have now, we really are in something of a Golden Age of TF comics.

Definitely. I know a lot of people'll disagree; but in my opinion, DOOP-onwards IDW is the apex of Transformers fiction. It's certainly had some bumps - especially the crossovers; dear lord Revolution - but I simply find modern IDW the best Transformers has ever been. And hey, doesn't hurt that Furman gave the continuity a solid foundation for the most part.
