Yeah, that was a shame. They changed Megatron's appearance because of parental goodie-two-shoes groups complaining. I owned the original die-cast Megatron when the TV series first aired. It had no orange plastic end of the barrel. It indeed looked like a real gun at a glance. It was awesome.
He needed to be more "consumer friendly" to sell toys, so they crafted that abomination.
That's also the same reason he's now a "jet" in the new, horrible, movies.
Michael Bay needs to hung by his toes and beaten with whiffle ball bats for what he did to that franchise.
