Megazarak was part of an aborted plan for a Transformers Generation 3. He was originally conceived as a new form for the original Megatron (as his colors, particularly in robot mode, loosely imply) under the name "Chaos Megatron", after the specific color of black used, but Hasbro did not allow 3H to use the character.[2] Thus, he was renamed after the Japanese version of Generation 1 Scorponok.
