Slagmaker Cannon


 * ''Slagmaker cannons are a weapon in the Beast Era.

A Slagmaker Canon is a generic term for for any weapon that generates levels of heat intense enough to melt armor and circuitry- reducing it to useless slag. The term has thus far only been used in the Beast Era.

The term may be a reference (of sort,) to the original Megatron, whose Fusion Cannon earned him the nom de guerre "The Slag-Maker."

Users of Slagmaker canons include,
 * Terragator  His tail converts to a Slagmaker Cannon, in this case a directed-heat weapon that completely melts his enemies exostructure.
 * Ramulus In robot mode his horns function as a "Slagmaker" cannon that melts anything in its path.  Ramulus seems to consider this weapon's designation more affectionate or "unofficial," since it is an ad hoc (but effective) adaption of a system not designed for that purpose.
