- Okay, I admit there was only one instance of Megatron's actually using the
- anit-matter hook-up. It was in an early TV episode. All I really remember
- is that some Decepticon had a glowing energy net over him, and Megatron,
- from atop a hill, calls down, "Optimus Prime! See how my anit-matter gun
- eats up energy!" He then fires some strange beam out of his cannon, which
- dissipates (absorbs?) the energy net.
