Mega-Beam

The Mega-Beam is a giant laser satellite created by the scientists at Puma-Dyne Labs. It was designed to use its powerful laser beam from orbit to stop earthquakes with surgical precision, although in the wrong hands it could become a deadly weapon. The Mega Beam was stolen by Zed before it could be put into orbit, and Dr. Lieter Greenbox ordered it trained on Megakat City and fired. The deranged inventor was stopped when the Swat Kats severed his connection to Zed, causing Zed to collapse. The Mega-Beam is thought to have been destroyed following this.

• The unfinished season two episode Turmoil 2: The Revenge saw the Mega-Beam repaired by Puma-Dyne and successfully launched with cooperation from MASA. The supervising Puma-Dyne scientist explained to the MASA foreman precisely how the satellite stopped earthquakes: by using its heat beam to seal fault lines. Unfortunately for both Puma-Dyne and MASA, the Mega-Beam was brought under the control of Turmoil, who used it to attack Megakat City, destroying the Megakat Tower and Old Megakat Bridge. Razor and Cybertron were able to sever Turmoil's control of the satellite, turning it against her base. In firing this final shot, the satellite overloaded and blew up and was destroyed once and for all.
