Beast Wars: Uprising

TheTyrant Bladewas a pre-Great Wardagger that belonged to the former gladiatorDouble Punch,displayed in the collection of his postwarBuilder-era mansion. When Double Punch'sPredaconprotégéGnashteethusurped his Decepticon master, Gnashteeth appropriated the dagger, which functioned as a spear in the smaller proto-former's hands. Firing 50,000 volts from the newly renamed "Tyrant Spear", the also newly renamed "Megatron" completed his coup by executing Double Punch.Identity Politics

Rising to leader of the planet-spanning crime syndicate theDarksyders,Gnashteeth employed his double-bladed spear to good use. In a failed experiment to perfect theBeast Upgrade,Megatron killed a misshapenOverbiteby plunging the Tyrant Spear through Overbite's spark.Not All Megatrons

His instructions include a massive spear configuration meant to be held by the then-concurrent Titan ClassScorponok,inspired by (though not visually based on)Black Zarak's Tyrant Spear. The spear mode is also shown in the instructions being used by fellowSelectsreleaseExhaust,which is pretty funny given it's about three times Exhaust's height.

Notes

• If the inclusion ofBeast Wars: UprisingMegatron's weapon on this page seems puzzling, remember thatUprisingis full of networked homages. The originalDouble Punchtoy was inspired by Generation 1Scorponok,whose variant form BlackZarak included the original Tyrant Spear. In turn,UprisingDouble Punch was the owner of his reality's Tyrant Spear before Megatron the Younger stole it.
• The Tyrant Spear in theLegendsmanga is a "virtual redeco" of the trident that came withHunt for the DecepticonsDeluxe ClassTerradive.
