But no, he does not transform into a handgun.
And I don't think it's really a spoiler to say that Megatron eventually will get a body, and it is pretty cool looking, taking elements of the original Megatron like many of the Transformers in this series that have elements reminiscent of their generation one counterparts. He truly feels like a dominating leader, even as just a disembodied head stuck in a room. I don't want to give away too much, so I'll just say that the Megatron in this series seems a lot more devious, intelligent, and just overall evil than the Megatron of the original series. Presumed dead at the end of the movie, we soon learn that his head was not decimated like his body, and is accidentally brought back to life by the all spark power held in Sari's key. What's more is that, although most episodes can be watched as standalone episodes, there is a plot thread that runs through the entire season involving the infamous Decepticon leader, Megatron. With this series, they've thrown in a lot of different possibilities for stories besides Decepticons, such as human villains, rogue machinery, unaffiliated Transformers, and even nature itself. Overall, I think this is a nice change from the original Transformers series, where just about every conflict was between Autobots and Decepticons. And he won't be the only human supervillain to cross paths with our robotic heroes and their human pal, Sari. The first episode gives us our first human supervillain, The Angry Archer, who dresses up like a Robin Hood reject and has impossible skills with a bow and arrow.
The first season picks up right after the events of that movie (which was later split into three episode so it could be broadcast along with season 1 episodes, and is often considered to be the first three episodes of season 1), and finds the Autobots on Earth helping to defend the city of Detroit from various sources of evil.
