This is perhaps due to his arrogance, but his pride is not so strong as to dissuade him from abandoning a battle he is losing. He often shows dramatic examples of cowardice, concealed in rage.
Although Megatron rarely wins in his duels with Optimus, few can rival his ability to locate energy sources for the Decepticons.
Some would question his sanity, though these few are mostly now dead by his hands Sometimes he uses his energon mace to strike them down. It does not matter how they die.
Death by the hands of Megatron is an honor. Megatron is often reborn as Galvatron. Megatron was a gladiator from Tarn , who sought to turn Cybertron into a cosmic dreadnaught. To win his war for conquest, Megatron's Decepticons developed the art of transformation.
When the wandering planet Cybertron was headed for an asteroid field, Megatron and a band of his warriors followed the Autobot ship sent to clear a path through the dangerous area, and attacked the weakened Autobot crew once they had achieved their goal.
However, the Autobot leader Optimus Prime sent the ship crashing into a nearby planet, knocking them all offline. After reawakening on Earth in , Megatron was quickly ousted from command by Shockwave. Their power struggle continued for some time, with leadership changing hands multiple times, until Optimus Prime killed himself in a video game duel.
Refusing to believe his nemesis was truly dead, the increasingly-erratic Megatron seemingly committed accidental suicide by blowing himself up on a space bridge in a fit of insane rage. However, the explosion had merely deposited him in the Dead End region of Cybertron, where he wandered as an empty , with no recollection of who he was. After regaining his memories, Megatron captured Ratchet and forced him to restore the recently destroyed Starscream to functionality, this time as a Pretender , in a scheme to wrest control of the Decepticons back.
But the ploy failed due to Ratchet's sabotage, and Megatron's attempt to escape the soon-to-explode lab via trans-time dimensional portal was foiled when Ratchet tackled him. The two were thought destroyed, but they were actually grotesquely fused together in the explosion and left adrift in " unspace ". Pulled from the void by Nightbeat , Fixit was able to separate their bodies, and kept them both in stasis aboard the Ark.
They re-awoke when Galvatron , a future version of Megatron, attempted to hijack the ship, which had already been hijacked by Shockwave and Starscream. Megatron and Galvatron fought bitterly at first, but upon realizing who they both were, plotted to join forces In one universe , he was rebuilt by the human terrorist organization Cobra , and he ultimately allied with Optimus against Jhiaxus , his Cybertronians , and the Swarm.
In another , fifteen years of peace passed before Megatron rose again. In a third , he woke up in , and proceeded to lay waste to the Earth, awaiting the day Optimus Prime would return. Among his first actions was the fatal wounding of a young dock worker named Orion Pax, who was rebuilt to become Megatron's mortal enemy, Optimus Prime.
Megatron's forces boarded the Autobots' spacecraft when it was on a mission to search for new sources of energy on other planets, and was knocked offline like all the other Transformers when the craft crashed on prehistoric Earth. When both factions reawakened in , Megatron made it his mission to pillage all of Earth's natural resources and enslave its populace, with the goal of revitalizing Cybertron and dominating the entire universe.
His plans were by turns cunning, wicked, outrageous, and often, utterly, utterly ludicrous. In , Megatron faced off with Optimus Prime in a battle at Autobot City , during which he fatally wounded the Autobot leader, but not without taking severe damage himself. Cast adrift into space, Megatron was found by the planet-eater, Unicron , and recreated as Galvatron.
In other timelines which branch out of this one, Megatron became a Transmetal , initiated the murder of a puppy , and years after his transformation into Galvatron, became Megatron once again, in various powered-up forms. In the aftermath of yet another battle had lost against the Autobots, Megatron concocted a sneakier plan to get rid of the Autobots. Megatron then led his troops into combat once more, before the Autobots would have a chance to procure more fuel. After sustaining too much damage, the Decepticons were forced to retreat once again.
Revenge of the Decepticons. After awakening on Earth, Megatron put into motion a plot that would gain him the unconditional surrender of the planet. Megatron first established the Global Corporation in order to employ the Constructicons to create and build sophisticated buildings all around the world. Each building had been outfitted with a secret mechanism which would trap all of those inside at the push of a button. Once all the buildings had been completed, Megatron would demand Earth's unconditional surrender in exchange for the safe release of the humans captured.
Megatron's plan was interrupted by Optimus Prime and his Autobots invading the Decepticon base. Though Megatron attempted to assume the guise of an honest businessbot, Optimus was not fooled, and the two factions began to fight. Optimus had arrived too late, however, and with the plan already in its final stages, Megatron activated the trap mechanisms within his buildings.
Megatron then jettisoned the Autobots from his headquarters, and highjacked a television broadcast, making his demands known to the human race. Megatron and Optimus clashed once more afterwards. This time, Megatron had The Devastator help out on the battlefield, and the Decepticons' victory seemed assured with the help of the colossus.
That was until the Dinobots' arrival, who effortlessly slaughtered the Constructicons. The Autobots then proceeded to disable the mechanisms holding the humans captive. Despite Megatron ranting that the war was far from over, the Autobots drove away from the battlefield victoriously.
Battle for Earth. Megatron sent out Devastator to capture any Autobot the colossus could find. Devastator returned with Sunstreaker and locked him up in a cell within Decepticon headquarters.
Megatron then approached the captive Autobot, and informed him that he would be used as a hostage to force the Autobots into surrendering. As Megatron walked away, Sunstreaker took a potshot at his back, enraging the Decepticon leader.
Megatron and two Constructicons returned fire with cruel ferocity. With Sunstreaker left cowering in the corner of his cell, Megatron called to Soundwave to open communications with Autobot headquarters.
He had his communications officer inform the Autobots of the situation, and demanded their surrender by the next morning. If they did not accept his terms, Megatron threatened to destroy Sunstreaker and rebuild him as a Decepticon! Megatron knew the Autobots would not forfeit the Earth so easily, and so had Devastator stand guard over the Decepticon Base's entrance.
Surely enough, a rescue party attempted to storm the base, but were quickly subdued by Devastator as well. Now with four prisoners in his custody, Megatron returned to the prison to address the Constructicons.
He told Hook that soon his surgical skills would be needed to convert the Autobots into loyal Decepticons. This led to a squabble between Hook and Bonecrusher , who both wanted the privilege of destroying the Autobots before their reconstruction. Megatron assured them that they would both get their own Autobot to destroy. Megatron sent a second message to the Autobots, revealing that their rescue squad had also been captured. He then explained that with the four Autobots rebuilt into Decepticons, he would have enough power to defeat the Autobots whether they surrendered or not.
His deadline nonetheless still stood, and he awaited morning for the Autobots' surrender. The following morning, Megatron emerged from the Decepticon headquarters to find a life-size statue of Devastator accompanied by a letter. The message was from Optimus Prime, and it explained that the statue was a peace offering, as the Autobots had agreed to surrender to the Decepticons.
Gleeful at this turn of events, Megatron ordered the Autobot prisoners to be brought before the statue. The statue turned out to be an Autobot ruse, however, and from within it burst forth Autobot reinforcements.
Megatron lead the Decepticons in a counter-offensive. He first deployed the Decepticon jets to counter the Autobots' own aerial warriors. The battle took a turn for the worse for the Decepticons when Rumble 's earthquake-inducing abilities backfired, and many Decepticons were swallowed up by the earth. Deciding to end the battle once and for all, Megatron fired his fusion cannon at Optimus Prime. But Optimus used a reflective piece of metal to deflect Megatron's beam back at him!
Hit by his own attack, Megatron crumpled to the ground, defeated. The Autobots' Secret Weapon. To rule Earth , Megatron came up with the idea to raid sunken treasure. Once they obtained the treasure, Megatron decided to use a truck to take it into town and buy some factories.
Unfortunately for him, the truck was Optimus Prime , who released a bunch of Autobots and defeated Megatron and his men. They managed to get most of their enemies captured, but while Megatron was distracted by a cardboard cutout , Bumblebee freed the Autobots and Optimus soon had Megatron wrapped in an iron bar.
Bumblebee to the Rescue! Megatron sent out the Decepticons to find factories to build more troops. They ended up falling into a trap laid by the forewarned Autobots, but Megatron refused to surrender and Optimus Prime threw him into orbit. Floating in space, Megatron promised that next time the Decepticons would win! Decepticon Patrol The Decepticons kidnapped Sparkplug and Buster Witwicky , but had to retreat during the following battle because they were low on power.
The Deadly Fuel Shortage. Deciding that the Decepticons should rule Earth, Megatron set about using the molecular transfer device to steal the planet's fuel supplies. The Autobots soon found out about it, and when they assaulted the Decepticon stronghold, Megatron was bamboozled by one of Mirage's holograms. Summertime Coloring Book After Ravage reported on a communication device possessed by the Autobots, Megatron used a fake message to lure Bumblebee away from the Ark so he could take it over.
It worked, but when Optimus pulled the same trick a short time later, Megatron fell for it. The Autobots also happened to be vacationing there, and after Megatron was knocked down by a boulder, and fooled by one of Hound 's holograms, he was forced to flee. Forest Rescue Mission. After the Decepticons developed a jet engine silencer, Megatron led them on an attack on the Autobot base.
Thanks to Bumblebee's warnings, the Autobots tricked the Decepticons into using up their firepower on a hologram of the Autobot base.
Bumblebee's Dangerous Mission. This character article is a stub and is missing information on their fictional appearances. You can help Transformers Wiki by expanding it. Tricking thousands of humans into digging a large cavern underneath the Kalahari Desert in Africa , Megatron detonated them with the largest explosion the world had ever seen, transforming the coal and humans into the world's largest diamond. Transporting it to a satellite launch base in Brazil , Megatron gloated the satellite would use the diamond as a lens to melt the Rocky Mountains.
Megatron looked on as Skyfire attempted to destroy the satellite out in orbit. When the Autobot failed and fell back to Earth, burning up on reentry, Megatron had a good laugh at his expense. His tone changed when Prime countered the satellite's attack on the Rockies by constructing a square mile of polished metal, which the Autobots placed below the satellite, deflecting its beam and destroying it.
Megatron and Soundwave escaped underground in a turbine mole machine. Satellite of Doom. The duo stole an enormous hovering fuel transport, but Skyfire destroyed it, forcing Megatron to come up with a new scheme: to drill the Prudhoe Bay oil reservoir. Optimus had razon gas pumped into the reservoir, returning the oil below the sea floor and rising the Decepticon device. Boarding it, the Autobots once again found Megatron had fled.
When Continents Collide He now intended to raise the oil from Brazil, unwittingly destroying the city of Machu Picchu and much of the Andes , as well as wreaking havoc with the weather. The Autobots stopped them again, and once more Megatron and Soundwave fled.
Storms of Destruction. With all these failures, Megatron grew jealous of Shockwave's success in getting oil to the Decepticon soldiers. Tracking Slag , Megatron found the Autobot oil supplies in Antarctica.
Using the Crusher Megatron sliced icebergs off the Antarctic, causing sea levels to rise. Unwittingly, his actions revived hundreds of dormant Dinobots trapped in the tar beneath the ice, forcing him to flee once more.
Jaws of Terror Enslaving oil workers in the Pacific, Megatron tried to drill the oil of Buru , but his transport overloaded and he took flight. Slaves of the Insecticons From his submersible near Madagascar , Megatron sank six oil tankers. Attacking another, Megatron's submersible was completely wrecked when it emerged the oil he drained was tainted by the Autobots with corrosive acid.
He escaped during the subsequent Autobot attack. Attack of the Decepticons. Megatron's relationship with Soundwave was very abusive; he dubbed him a "blundering tape-filled idiot". When Continents Collide. As Decepticon leader, Megatron was part of the forces that attacked the Autobot Ark while it was trying to eliminate asteroids that threated to smash Cybertron to pieces. The Ark crashed on Earth , and four million years later, the Decepticons were first to be woken by the ship's computer. Leaving the ship, they attempted to destroy it, but their energy levels were too low, and Megatron announced they'd have to find new sources of energy.
After raiding the nuclear plant at nearby Kimball , they returned to the Ark, only to find it empty. He ordered his men to split up and go in two different directions, and hence they were able to outflank the Autobots. The battle was short-lived, as the Autobots proved too much for them, and the Decepticons retreated. Battle for Cybertron. A bunch of humans set up a race for charity, and the victor would receive a year's supply of oil and gasoline.
Well, the Decepticons desperately wanted that bounty, so rather than just steal it, they decided to sneak into the race. Cliffjumper was one of the Autobots driving in the rally and was unaware that the scary black Cadillac was actually being driven by Megatron! Megatron dogged Cliffjumper for quite a while but ended up losing to the Minibot.
Cliffjumper won the race and everybody smiled, even Optimus Prime. The Great Car Rally. After a particularly damaging battle, Megatron sent the Seekers to distract the Autobots while he took a small squad to capture a broken-down oil truck nearby, claiming it would allow them to defeat the Autobots once and for all.
While he and his men were implementing the plan, somehow Sunstreaker sneaked up and got the truck working again. Megatron furiously pursued the truck and managed to seize it from behind. Suddenly Swoop appeared overhead and Megatron proved unable to shoot him down. The Dinobot dropped a bomb on the group of Decepticons, reducing them to a pile of metal scrap. An automated signal summoned a rescue squadron , who arrived a short time later to retrieve the remains of Megatron and his men.
Decepticon Hijack. Megatron set his sights on raiding a power plant, and promised his men that whoever came up with a fool-proof plan would be made Decepticon second-in-command. He was pleased when Kickback informed him that Grapple had been captured, and even more so when Bombshell arrived back at base with the cerebro-shelled Autobot. Megatron instructed Grapple to come up with a plan to steal the energy in the power plant.
When the rest of the Autobots turned up to rescue their friend, Megatron took the opportunity to gloat before battle commenced. He ordered Grapple to help them fight, however Grapple, who had been de-cerebro-shelled, called him a "big coffee pot" and threw him on Starscream and Skywarp. Insecticon Attack! When Laserbeak discovered that the Autobots were working on a device resembling a radio tower, Megatron sent Soundwave to investigate. The revelation that the Autobots had concealed much of the tower underground made Megatron think they were up to something underhanded, but before he could learn more, he realized Starscream had gone to destroy the device.
Megatron and the other Decepticons caught up with and stopped Starscream, and then puzzled over the machine. The machine, in reality intended to collect lightning, released a surge of power that caused the Decepticons to malfunction, forcing them to retreat.
Autobots' Lightning Strike. Impatient at the lack of the energy they needed to power their space cruiser, Megatron had Buzzsaw sent out. They soon hit pay dirt when Buzzsaw located an experimental solar power station. After surveying the station with Soundwave, Megatron ordered the rest of the Decepticons to come in force, however instead Starscream attempted to lead the other Decepticons in an impromptu mutiny. Though Megatron swiftly brought the Decepticons back under his heel, their energy collection was ultimately foiled by the Autobots.
Megatron's Fight for Power As the Decepticons' space cruiser neared completion, Megatron was determined that they find a way to test the ion-drive, despite Starscream's protests that it didn't need testing. Luckily Ravage located an abandoned mine, so the Decepticons made use of it for testing purposes.
The Autobots again got wind of their activities, and used mine cars to blow up the ion-drive, collapsing the tunnel on the Decepticons. Autobots Fight Back.
Furious over the constant defeats, Megatron ordered Soundwave to send Laserbeak to find out more about the humans who inhabited the planet Earth. The scouting mission led the Decepticons to a unique piece of Earth technology — a windmill. During the ensuing fight with the Autobots, they discovered the windmill was immune to the null ray, and believing it to be an advanced new weapon, Megatron ordered it be captured. Instead Rumble managed to destroy it and it collapsed on top of the four Decepticons.
Laserbeak's Fury At some point Galvatron traveled back in time from the 21st century and took over leadership of the Decepticons from Megatron. Galvatron's Air Attack. Soundwave passed on news of Doctor Heath Blaisedale 's solar reactor. Megatron immediately made plans to use the device to drain the Sun 's energy, despite Starscream 's assertion that doing so would result in doom for Earth.
He was furious when Starscream led an impromptu attack on the Autobots at the solar plant and ordered the three jets to retreat before they damaged the reactor. He had Ravage kidnap Blaisedale in an attempt to draw the Autobots away from the plant, before leading an attack himself.
Unfortunately his particle cannon was destroyed by Cliffjumper and the Dinobots turned up as well, resulting in the destruction of the solar reactor. Megatron retreated empty-handed. Sun Raid Listen 'n Fun. Megatron devised a scheme to abduct humans by disguising the Decepticon jets as commercial airliners. Unfortunately the Autobots stumbled on the plan, freed the humans and defeated the Decepticon squad which was doing the kidnapping.
Sun Raid Listen 'n Play. Being unfamiliar with volcanoes, Megatron decided to investigate, but his men were unable to capture the two humans helping the Autobots. After the Autobots had retreated, the Decepticons got their change to look more closely at the volcano, only for it to erupt, trapping them with lava.
Terror of Mount Sheelah Megatron had his men kidnap humans from towns to use as slave labor, but after Bumblebee stole the Decepticons' global crystal , the Decepticons were forced to set the humans free. Bumblebee to the Rescue. After Starscream spotted a hydro-dam at Stanley Lake , Megatron decided to see if it was suitable for their energy needs, and staged an invasion. A short time later, he and his men spotted the Autobots in the valley in front of the dam and attacked them.
Though they appeared triumphant after the Autobots retreated, the valley was flooded with water from the dam a short time later, washing them all away.
Menace at the Dam Furious at the mounting defeats, Megatron sent Starscream to infiltrate the Autobot ranks. When air commander reported that the Autobots' super weapon was being stored in Mount Levram , Megatron led the Decepticons there to flatten the mountain. Unfortunately it turned out that Starscream hadn't fooled the Autobots at all, and when the Decepticons returned to their base, it had been leveled in their absence.
Megatron discovered Madame Cee , a human tinkerer on Carob Island with estensive knowledge of mechanics. With her involuntary help, and a rare mineral present on the island, he began building duplicate Autobots, starting with Sideswipe. Megatron also built a megamaze around his underground base on the island to deter intruders. Megatron first sent out the duplicate Sideswipe to destroy the Nova Suspension Bridge in order to frame the Autobots, then proceeded to build more clones, including a duplicate Prowl.
He had nearly finished building a duplicate Optimus Prime when a group of Autobots found their way into his base. They were easily captured, but Megatron could not help but stroke his own ego, and showed Prowl, leader of the squad, the full extent of his plan.
Prowl managed to overpower his escorts on his way back to his cage, and tricked Megatron into destroying the duplicate Prowl instead of the real one. Megatron was then hit by some of Prowl's acid pellets, forcing him to retreat through a secret passage, though not before taunting Prowl once more, claiming that the Autobots would never escape his megamaze. The Autobots managed it and escaped the island. Deadly Paradise. Some time later, as the battle with the Autobots had raged for some time on Earth, Megatron was too distracted to put a halt to Starscream's underhanded schemes.
While pondering over how differently things might have gone if only the Aerialbots had remained allied with the Decepticons, Megatron was brought out of his reverie by Teletraan 1, alerting him that a nearby power plant had been evacuated of its human workers due to the possibilities of a landslide happening.
Megatron summoned Dirge, Thrust, Ramjet, Blitzwing, Rumble, and Starscream to accompany him on a raid on the unattended power plant. He was infuriated to find that Starscream was once more absent from his post, only to be reminded by Dirge that Starscream had been absent ever since he had been sent to fetch the Stunticons from Cybertron. Coincidently, Starscream made communication with him at that moment, and Megatron ordered him to meet the rest of the Decepticons at a well-hidden spot near the power plant.
The Special Teams. Before the construction of Autobot City on Earth, Optimus led a convoy of Autobots to find the ideal location for their new base's construction. Megatron lay in wait, inconspicuously disguised as a giant gun on a hillside, ready to strike as the Autobots approached. The battle that ensued, in which Megatron transformed and used his stock assembly as a particle beam cannon , later came to be known as " Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction ".
Rodimus Prime remembers the Transformers greatest battle on Earth. Evidently, the battle went in Megatron's favour, as Optimus was forced to send some of his troops away to fetch reinforcements. Megatron learned about the existence of a cargo of microchips that could bestow sentience onto robots. Seeking to acquire said microchips, Megatron set out into the Yorkshire Dales to intercept the convoy transporting them.
From a secret underground lair, he and Rumble planned out their assault, only to be opposed by Optimus Prime and Prowl who were secretly guarding the shipment. Whether or not Megatron succeeded in acquiring the chips depended on the decisions that you made! Highway Clash. Megatron had been overseeing Operation Black Coral from the Decepticons' secret base in Mount Lomas for over a week before two of the Insecticons went on their mission to Hidden Valley.
When Kickback reported that Bombshell had successfully planted cerebro-shells on four of the Dinobots , he was thrilled! In one possible path on the following day, he rallied his troops with a speech about how the imminent completion of the machinery necessary to convert Dolphin Bay 's black coral into superfuel would ensure the final defeat of the Autobots in a matter of hours. This conveniently told the spying Bumblebee all he needed to know about Operation Black Coral so he could relay it to Skids via radio, which conveniently told Soundwave and Frenzy that he was right outside the doorway so Frenzy could paralyze him and leave him in the underwater tunnel.
If Skids just returns to the Ark after this, it leads to two possible outcomes in which Megatron appears long enough to witness a Decepticon defeat. In one, he ordered his warrior jets into action only to see them fall to Powerglide's thermal beam while Jazz torched the base's lab. In another, Sludge showed up at Mount Lomas claiming that he and the other three Dinobots under Bombshell's control had just decimated the Autobot ranks, convincing Megatron to welcome them into their base by holding the Operation Black Coral victory party and bonfire a day early.
He began to question his judgement when Grimlock suddenly ordered his team to attack, but didn't react in time to save Soundwave or Frenzy. As Swoop nailed Thrust with a missile, Megatron fired his nuclear fusion cannon at the Pteranodon, only to have his blast redirected at the last second by Snarl's tail-strike.
This caused him to blast straight down into the mountainside, creating a hole which allowed the arriving Autobots easy access to Megatron's swiftly-demolished base.
In another alternate path, Megatron greeted the approaching Autobot assault force with "a strange challenge to Optimus Prime": a one-on-one fight to the end! After squaring off for a few minutes, Megatron fired, but Optimus dodged the blast by splitting into his three components, gaining the upper hand.
Thanks to Rumble's interference, we'll never know if Megatron could've turned things around. Dinobots Strike Back. In order to take out the Autobots, Megatron concocted a diabolical new plot.
He sent out Blitzwing and Starscream to destroy acres of farmland, and pretend that the Decepticon's latest ploy was to destroy the humans' food supply, forcing the fleshlings to either become Decepticon slaves or starve to death. In reality, this was only a ruse covering Megatron's true scheme. When the Autobots would come rolling out in the open farmland, they would be without cover for the Decepticon armada awaiting them, and would then be wiped out by Megatron's forces.
In one possible turn of events, the a small group of Autobots hatched a counter-plot where they hoped to trick Megatron into thinking the whole Autobot army was attacking when in reality only a squadron was battling the Decepticons.
Thanks to his spy in the field, Soundwave, Megatron caught wind of this plan and was able to wipe out the Autobot squad easily. In another version of the following events, Megatron learns that Sparkplug Witwicky has discovered a fatal flaw in the Decepticons' circuitry, and is forced to divert the bulk of his forces into a manhunt for the Autobots' ally.
When Swoop, Prowl, Hound and Bumblebee arrive on scene, events could play out in a number of ways. If Swoop decided to take Megatron head-on in aerial combat, the Dinobot landed a lucky shot inside of Megatron's fusion cannon as it was charging up, causing the weapon to backfire and Megatron to be destroyed. If Swoop decided to retreat back to Autobot headquarters after an initial assault, Megatron would allow a number of his troops to chase Swoop down while the rest of the Decepticon forces remained at the cave's entrance.
Megatron would remain at the cave himself, sending volleys of lasers towards the Autobots and humans trapped inside. In one possible version of the events that followed, Megatron is forced to retreat when Swoop returns with reinforcements, and believing that the Autobots still possess the schematics for the Decepticons' circuits, is forced to redesign the Decepticons' internal workings. In another version of the following events, Bumblebee distracts Megatron by sending a boulder tumbling at him, allowing Prowl to make a mad dash back to Autobot headquarters.
If Megatron's ploy to lure the Autobots out in the open farmland was successful, he led the entirety of his fores with the intent of destroying Optimus Prime and his team of Autobots.
Whether or not Megatron succeeded in destroying his foe depended on which decisions Optimus made from this point forward. In many scenarios, Megatron manages to pin the Autobots on a nearby bridge, only for them to escape by various means. Battle Drive. Megatron was leading a party of Decepticons on a raid to steal energy sources from the humans when Starscream learned of a new device that would solve all of the Decepticons' energy problems, the Sun-Pak. In a possible outcome of a the events that would follow, Megatron was contacted some time later by the human Buster, who explained that he wanted to offer a trade to the Decepticon leader.
Megatron was offered an audio file containing conclusive proof that Starscream planned to overthrow him, in exchange for the safe release of Sparkplug, who Starscream had in his possession. Megatron could only humour the human germ to a certain degree, and said that he would only agree to such a trade if Buster were to fulfill his end of the bargain first.
If Buster agreed, and did indeed send a genuine recording of Starscream gloating about his plans to seize leadership of the Decepticons, Megatron would shortly come in person to command Starscream to release the meaningless human and then deliver an ultimatum; either Starscream face the full force of the Decepticon army for his treachery, or be subjected to reprogramming at Decepticon headquarters. After Starscream accepted the later option, Megatron shooed off the humans and the few Autobot present to put his own house in order.
If Buster refused to relinquish the sound file before Megatron issued the order to have Sparkplug released, Megatron would nonetheless arrived on scene, demanding to be informed of the situation at hand. After being informed of the existence of the Sun-Pak, and that by using a Cerebro-Shell to force Sparkplug to construct a new one the Decepticons would no longer need worry about energy supplies, Megatron allows Starscream to follow through with his plan despite Buster's protests.
For all his troubles, Megatron acquires nothing but a laser-toothbrush from this venture, as the mind-control process leaves Sparkplug's memory damaged, and the hygienic device is the only invention the human could produce for the Decepticons. In another possible adventure, Megatron is encountered in an underground cavern by Beachcomber, who is attempting to make his way to the surface in order to recharge the Sun-Pak and rescue his fellow Autobots from the Insecticons.
The encounter is a short one, as Megatron quickly disposes of Mirage before making his way further below ground to destroy the rest of the Autobots. In yet another possible adventure, Megatron having acquired the Sun-Pak is in the process of himself recharging it near Decepticon headquarters when the Autobots intrude and attempt diplomacy in order to have the device returned to them.
Megatron declines, and a firefight between the two factions begin. If Optimus Prime attempts to end the fighting by proposing he and Megatron duel for the Sun-Pak's ownership, Megatron agrees and the two of them begin a long and strenuous battle. If Optimus gains the upper hand, the Autobot leader is content with leaving Megatron vanquished, and returning to base with the Sun-Pak in his possession.
However, if Megatron begins to gain ground in their duel, Optimus forfeits the duel, and begins to walk away as Megatron mocks the cowardly Autobot. When Optimus approaches the Sun-Pak, he "accidentally" trips, and blasts the device into smithereens, leaving Megatron in a furor.
Alternatively, if Optimus attempts to end the fighting by simply making a grab for the Sun-Pak, Megatron intervenes and steps forth to defend the device from falling into enemy hands. But Optimus and his Autobot lackey, Smokescreen, dupe Megatron into tossing to Buzzsaw, only for Optimus to catch the device in mid-pass, leaving an enraged Megatron impotent to stop the Autobots from retreating with the device in their possession.
In yet another possible adventure, it is Shrapnel who comes to possess the Sun-Pak, and plans to usurp Megatron's leadership with the device.
But Megatron's loyal spy Ravage overhears these happenings, and informs his leader of the situation. If the Insecticons still have the Sun-Pak in their possession when Megatron arrives to confront them, he berates Shrapnel for his clandestine activities, and blasts the Insecticon for his planned coup. The Autobots arrive shortly thereafter, and Megatron decides to use the rotting trees of the forest they are in as cover for an ambush on his newly arrived foes. Unknown to him, Mirage and Buster were hiding nearby, and warn the Autobots of Megatron's ambush.
Megatron along with his troops are defeated by Ironhide 's acid spray, and the Decepticons retreat, the Sun-Pak having been destroyed in the process. Attack of the Insecticons. Megatron's latest ploy was to destroy Center City with the help of Rumble's earthquake-inducing abilities and a Destruction Beam device. In one possible series of events, after Windcharger and Beachcomber had infiltrated Megatron's secret spy station within the Decepticon's newest secret fortress, Megatron was tricked into making all of his troops stand down and surrender by Beachcomber.
In another possible scenario, Windcharger and Beachcomber attempted to muscle their way into Megatron's secret spy chamber, only to fail miserably. Alerting Megatron of their presence this way, Megatron then confronted the pair in his weapon mode.
Megatron promptly slaughtered the two Autobots with a blast of his nuclear-charged fusion cannon. Then, after having captured Powerglide and reprogramming him to lead the Decepticons to the Autobot headquarters, Megatron led his army and felled the Autobots one by one, until only Optimus remained. Megatron gloated that he would not kill Optimus, only alter him to make him a destroyer of mankind.
Optimus activated the Ark's self-destruct sequence, taking all of the Decepticons with him in a fiery death. They can be proposed again with the permission of an administrator if new elements appear in their series that can change their status as non-PE villains.
The mainstream version can be found here: Megatron. Villain Overview. Starscream : The humans has taken it! Megatron : You failed me yet again, Starscream. Get them! Megatron : Come here, little cretin! Jazz : You wanna piece of me?! You wanna piece Megatron : NO!
I want TWO! Optimus : They deserve to choose for themselves! Megatron : Then you will die with them! Join them in extinction! Starscream : Lord Megatron, I was so relieved to hear of your resurrection.
Megatron : You left me to die on that pathetic insect planet. Starscream : Only to help spawn our new army. The Fallen decrees it! After all, in your absence, someone had to take command.
Megatron : [Grab Starscream by the neck and crush him against a Cybertronian embryo] So disappointing. Starscream : Hatchlings! Careful, fragile! Megatron : Even in death, there is no command but mine. The Allspark is destroyed. And without it, our race will perish. You remember me, don't you? Sam : I did what you said, okay? Just don't hurt us. I am going to kill you! Slowly, painfully. But first, we have some delicate work to do.
We cannot let him reach Optimus! Decepticons, begin our assault! They're alive! They're here! Megatron : Decepticons, defend the pillar! Raise the bridges! Find them! What a shame you'll be unable to see it. Megatron : I knew you couldn't do it. Your time is over, Prime. You failed. You turned your back on Cybertron. Now you will watch Earth die!
Universal Conquest Wiki. Megatron was initially a revolutionary who fought against the corrupt leaders, but as he became one himself, the power corrupted him into becoming a tyrant.
In , Hasbro and Takara Tomy released a toy line that included robots that could transform into vehicles. They were Japanese toys rebranded for the Western market, based on the Diaclone and Microman toy lines.
The toy line was named Transformers and it would soon enough become a pillar of modern pop-culture, with a series of animated shows, comic books, video games and — subsequently — live-action movies that created one of the most important franchises in the world.
Megatron is a fictional robot from the Transformers franchise, a supervillain robot and the leader of the evil Decepticons; he has been an integral part of the whole franchise and its most famous antagonist, despite not being the strongest one. The original Megatron was the leader and warlord of the Decepticons.
He serves as the nemesis of the Autobot leader Optimus Prime. Megatron is usually depicted as having risen up from being a lowly worker to become a champion in gladiatorial fights. During his early days, he mentored the young Orion Pax, and together they championed the downtrodden and preached that freedom of self-determination was the right of all sentient beings. Megatron could transform into three types of guns: a Walther P38 handgun, a particle-beam weapon, and a telescopic laser cannon.
To fully understand why Megatron became an evil tyrant, we must explore his history, because there lies the answer to our question. According to his first origin story, he was a descendant of the Decepticons who rose up against the Autobot leaders, years after the Autobots had defeated the Decepticons in a civil war, thanks to their discovery of transformation; the Decepticons eventually also discovered how to transform, but it was too late to win the first war.
Not long into the Golden Age of Cybertron, Megatron made a small strike on an outer city, killing the then-current Autobot leader. However, this event was not made public knowledge, and young robots like the naive Orion Pax still looked up to Megatron and his followers because of their new robot-mode flight powers and their nominal battle against the corrupted system. Orion soon learned the error of his ways when Megatron duped him into allowing him access to Energon warehouses, and Megatron fatally wounded him in a scuffle.
