(Note to fanboys about to send me an e-mail explaining the Allspark: Look up "MacGuffin" in Wikipedia.) Both races (or maybe they're brands) of robots fled the doomed planet Cybertron and have been drawn to Earth because Megatron crash-landed near the North Pole a century ago and possesses the Allspark, which is the key to something, I'm not sure what, but since it's basically an alien MacGuffin it doesn't much matter. He is the most fearsome warrior of the evil Decepticons, enemies of the benevolent Transformers. But Megatron is a three-exclamation-point kinda robot. I think that's the first time I've used three exclamation points. A yellow Camaro unfolds into a hulking robot, helicopters become walking death monsters, and an enemy named Megatron rumbles onto the screen and, in a voice that resembles the sound effects in "Earthquake," introduces himself: "I-AM-MEGATRON!!!" He was also extremely grateful to Rodney, and in addition to supplying his father with enough spare parts to keep him alive and well, decides to make Rodney his eventual successor as head of Bigweld industries.The movie is inspired by the Transformer toys that twist and fold and double in upon themselves, like a Rubik's Cube crossed with a contortionist. After Ratchet and Madame Gasket were overthrown, he returned Bigweld Industries to its former glory. During this time, he seems to return Aunt Fanny's feelings. ![]() Bigweld had lost his fighting spirit, and become a cranky old hermit whose only interest was playing with dominoes.īigweld later changed his mind, and joined Rodney, Cappy, and The Rusties in fighting back against Ratchet's evil plan. When Rodney and Cappy finally found him, he urged Rodney to give up and go home. However, after Ratchet took over Bigweld Industries, Bigweld went into hiding in his mansion, leaving many robots to believe he was gone. When triggered, these dominoes are frequently shown turning switches, activating machinery, and forming designs. Bigweld is also an inventor himself, and spends his spare time setting up elaborate systems of dominoes. Bigweld's show inspires Rodney to invent the Wonderbot and go to Robot City. He also encourages robots everywhere to believe in themselves. In his television show, Bigweld shows the viewers around Bigweld Industries and explains how the inventing process works. He believes that any robot can come up with good ideas, and keeps his factory doors open for aspiring young inventors (such as Rodney Copperbottom, who idolizes him) to show him those ideas. ![]() His two catchphrases are "See a need, fill a need" and "You can shine, no matter what you're made of". Bigweld becomes the leader once again after Ratchet's downfall. ![]() His lower half is plain and does not have legs he gets around simply by rolling.īigweld is the head of Bigweld Industries before Ratchet takes over. He also sports a metal, tuxedo-like covering which hides the upper half of his body. He has a round, spherical body with a small head on top, and two large arms. ![]() He was voiced by Mel Brooks.īigweld is a large, shiny robot with brown eyes. Old parts, new parts or spare parts, you can shine no matter what you're made of!īigweld is the founder of Bigweld Industries, a company devoted to making the lives of robots better in the movie Robots.
