Megatron (Flight)

Megatron (Flight) is playable character in multiplayer. He is considered the most powerful character, due to his high health, long range, high damage per shot, long overheat, and flight capability.

Attributes
Megatron (Flight) has the third-highest health of all characters (is that right? Does Grindor have more, too?). He has a jetpack-style vehicle mode, identical to Powered-Up Optimus'. It is faster than ground vehicles, but slower than jets.

Weapons
Megatron (Flight) shares the same two weapons of his grounded counterpart, Megatron. His primary weapon is the Lightning Gun, and his secondary weapon is the Dark Matter Beam.

The Lightning Gun, despite having very high DPS, has little practical usage. It is very short-ranged, and has slight projectile lag.

The Dark Matter Beam is often considered the best weapon in the game. It has one of the longest ranges (actual place?), as well as the highest damage per non-charged shot of all weapons, though it is noteworthy that Soundwave's primary weapon, the Charged Pulse Blast, deals the same damage per shot when charged, firing slightly faster than the Dark Matter Beam. It also has a very long overheat, allowing eight consecutive shots before overheating, enough to kill any character without overheating, even with no headshots.

Special Ability
Megatron (Flight) has the same special ability as Megatron. It is the Fusion Cannon, a charged shot that will instantly kill any non-invincible characters upon contact. It also deals splash damage very close to it.

The Fusion Cannon disables all movement and weapons while it charges for around 3.5 seconds before firing. As such, it is best used in the air, allowing for minor directional control as well as avoiding being stationary.

Match-Ups
Megatron (Flight) has no disadvantageous match-ups. His closest match-up is Optimus Prime, due to his ease of getting headshots on Megatron (Flight) with his secondary weapon, Dual Shell Cannons, longer range with his primary weapon, Dual Laser Rifles, and a special ability that directly counters Megatron (Flight)'s.

Several match-ups, including Long Haul and Ironhide, are impossible, or nearly-impossible to lose.

Strategy
Due to his overwhelming power, it has been decided not to give playing advice for Megatron (Flight).

Glitches
Megatron (Flight) has only cosmetic glitches. In addition to the standard weapon appearance glitches of all characters, Megatron (Flight) can also keep his arm as a Fusion Cannon after firing.

When flying, the jets on his back become incorrectly rotated if he enters vehicle mode or weapon mode while they are rotating. They remain rotated incorrectly until he enters vehicle form again.

Trivia

 * In clan matches, teams are generally limited to no more than two Megatron (Flight) players.
