Megatron's gun form in Transformers was the "Man from U.N.C.L.E." Walter P38, complete with scope, stock and barrel extension. The scope also formed his "Fusion Cannon" arm weapon as a robot. The Megatron toy itself was originally part of a line of 1:1 scale transforming objects, and was explicitly labelled as a "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." P38 in that line.
