Megatron (WFC)

From Transformers Wiki

The name or term "Megatron" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Megatron (disambiguation).

Megatron is the Decepticon leader from the Aligned continuity family.

The awesomely powerful Megatron is, in many ways, a fallen hero. He rose up from the oppressed lower working castes of Kaon to become a

champion in the region's illegal deathmatches, cast aside his designation ofD-16 and took the legendary name Megatronus[1] as his own, he called for

an end to Cybertron's decrepit caste system and told the downtrodden that freedom of self-determination was the right of all sentient beings!

But absolute power corrupts absolutely, and Megatron's Decepticon revolution, like many such movements, ended up becoming a whole new tyranny.

Powerful, charismatic, violent, and full of rage for any who would stand in the way of his ambition and drive, Megatron brought Cybertronpastthe brink

of destruction. Now he and his former brother-in-arms Optimus Prime fight on other worlds. Megatron will never forgive Optimus for "betraying" him,

stealing from the Council the rank of Prime which was rightfully his. He has reserved for his old friend the greatest honor possible: glorious death at hishands.

"What happened to my fusion cannon?"

Megatron has been gone for three years, but now he's returned. He's brought the

monstrous Dark Energon to Earth, and quite possibly left his sanity in space.

Good and evil fade away. History shall judge me... victorious. Megatron rejects all moral judgement on his actions,

Megatron nicknamed himself D-16 after the sector of the mine where he performed demolition

operations. As a gladiator, in killing others he began to appreciate the value of life, and in between

matches he became something of an intellectual, debating the castes with other miners. After bosses

requested he lose a few fights, D-16 killed them and took over Kaon and Slaughter City. After

murdering one boss in front of his employees, D-16 declared himself Megatronus, whom he considered

the greatest of the Thirteen. After hearing his preaching on the Communication Grid against the Guilds of

Cybertron, the concerned Sentinel Prime sent Bumper and Fastback to investigate. Megatronus killed

them, believing two lives were worthless compared to the millions doomed by the castes Sentinel

created.

After a victorious battle with the Insecticons, in which the crowd redubbed him Megatron, the gladiator

was contacted by the Iaconian records monitor Orion Pax, and they began exchanging their ideas in

intense but friendly philosophical discussions. Megatron encouraged Orion to learn self defense and

invited him to visit Kaon, which he did to a warm welcome from Megatron (and from none of hisgladiators). By this point Megatron was planning to call his movement the Decepticons, and he had

begun sending his followers on a search for artifacts of the Primes, as their discovery would be signs their

cause was just. His followers began bombing Cybertron, and Megatron distanced himself from their

extremism to gain credibility. Orion and his mentor Alpha Trion believed him, but the latter was well

aware Megatron might have gained a taste for violence after the attention it earned him. Soon enough, Megatron accepted the gift of a kidnapped

Sentinel Prime from Starscream.

Alpha Trion organized a hearing for Orion and Megatron with the High Council. They protested involvement in Sentinel's disappearance. When

confronted with the phrase "Decepticon", Megatron denied any knowledge of it but accepted his followers' term wholeheartedly, stating deception wasnecessary sometimes for the corrupt to see the truth. When Halogen revealed Megatron's followers had been trying to locate the Matrix of Leadership,

he declared that Orion should become the Prime that he desperately wanted to lead Cybertron into the

new Golden Age, and find it. Incensed, Megatron killed Halogen, and when Optimus prevented the Elite

Guard from attacking Megatron, the ungrateful gladiator declared Optimus had fallen into the trap of

power the High Council had given him. He declared Optimus was no longer his brother (though he would

continue to refer to him as such privately), and that the Matrix would be his.

In the subsequent war with Optimus' Autobots, the Decepticons took control of eighty-five percent of the

planet. Wherever Starscream's Seekers aided, they were victorious. Megatron was initially merciful toneutrals, but he let Shockwave take control of Tarn and torture Autobot sympathizers there. When the

Praxians, a progressive city-state who were disappointed with the direction Megatron took, allied with the

Autobots, Megatron decided he would no longer try to convert followers and launched the first genocide

of the war, slaughtering all in Nova Cronum who would not submit to the Decepticons as they attacked.

As the war dragged into a siege of Iacon, Soundwave's spying bore fruit as he discovered Dark Energon,

the essence of Unicron, was aboard Trypticon. Megatron forgave Starscream for hiding its existence from

him, acknowledging its potentially dangerous nature. To ensure loyalty, Megatron's gladiators stormed the

Station slaughtering and maiming Starscream's scientists. He forced Starscream to pick two test subjects to be Darkened, and following an astonishinglysuccessful result, Megatron absorbed some, invigorating him. Soon Darkened Decepticons appeared on the battlefield, but it proved to be an inefficient

resource and they would have to flee if a battle was prolonged. Megatron needed more, and even Starscream's activation of the Geosynchronous

Energon Bridge didn't provide enough. Megatron felt he would kill all the Decepticons before he was deprived of Dark Energon and turn rabid.

Fortunately, Soundwave revealed the existence of the Plasma Energy Chamber within Teletraan-1, which required the Code Keys of Power and Justice

to activate it. Starscream recovered the Key of Power, while Megatron and his best soldiers searched for the Key of Justice below the High Council

Tower. Sentinel Prime emerged, to Megatron's surprise. Sentinel confronted him about Bumper and Fastback, and the two dueled. Megatron disarmed

and sliced open Sentinel, revealing the Key of Justice within. Starscream made a grab for it, exposing that he had released Sentinel to kill Megatron and

take leadership for himself. After fighting Starscream to a standstill, Megatron pardoned him as he found him a better soldier than would-be example, and

used the Keys to open Teletraan-1: which activated Omega Supreme to fly the Chamber to safety.

The Seekers shot Omega Supreme out of the air, causing him to crash. Optimus's Autobots arrived to fight the Decepticons, but the more they killed

them the more Dark Energon left their bodies and empowered Megatron. He was able to knee Omega Supreme and turn him on his back, tearing the

Chamber out of his chest. Using the Chamber, Megatron poisoned the core of Cybertron and Darkened the entire planet. But then the core stopped

producing Dark Energon, and Megatron learnt Optimus had gone to the core and received the Matrix. As the Autobots attempted to flee Cybertron via

the last space bridge, Megatron used Trypticon to fire on their ships, and used his and Orion's old frequency to criticize Optimus for fleeing. He added he

never believed in individual freedom for every Cybertronian, only the illusion of freedom that he as leader would provide and that the Guilds did not.

Optimus responded that Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts and they would turn on him, and used theEight Trackto board, sabotage and

crash Trypticon.

"I'm a fox!" "I'm a hound doooog!"

As the Autobots left on the completedArk, the Decepticons fully invaded Iacon. Megatron ordered Trypticon to transform into theNemesis, boarding it

with Starscream, Soundwave, Lugnut and other elite soldiers, leaving Shockwave in charge. He used his old frequency once again to warn Optimus that

he would hound him through the stars and finally kill him for the Matrix. He explained they were still brothers, as they were bonded for life despite their

enmity. Optimus was just glad his hunt would get him off Cybertron. The two ships entered the last space bridge together, and when the Arkemerged,

theNemesis was gone. Exodus

In the waning years of the Golden Age of Cybertron, Megatronus (who named himself after one

of the original thirteen Primes) was a gladiator who fought in the Kaon arena. Observing adisparity in freedom among the classes of his race, and that the ruling class was corrupt and all-

powerful, Megatron turned rhetorician, trying to effect change. In drawing attention to this

inequity, he inspired a Hall of Records clerk named Orion Pax, and the two joined forces to end

corruption and bring equality to the masses. One Shall Rise, Part 3 Orion and Megatronus became

close allies, almost like brothers. Masters & Students

Megatronus shortened his name to Megatron before he and Orion Pax appeared before the High

Council. Megatron threatened the council, promising to overthrow them and instate himself as the

next Primea declaration of hostility that shocked Orion, and moved him to an impassionedspeech in favour of autonomy that successfully swayed the council where Megatron had failed.

Things were very red in those days.

We can relate. We're just like this with our

BotCon toys.

Jealous, Megatron left the council and Orion behind and assembled his followersincluding perennial

loyalist Soundwave and scheming second-in-command Starscreaminto an army he would name

"Decepticons", beginning the war for Cybertron and vowing to find the Matrix of Leadership which was

denied to him by the council. One Shall Rise, Part 3

The war saw Megatron successfully take the city of Kaon, which contained the very arena he fought in

as a gladiator, as the Decepticon capital. Orion Pax, Part 1 During a battle at Tyger Pax, Megatron crushed

the Autobot Bumblebee's voice box when the scout refused to break under interrogation.

Operation Bumblebee, Part 1 Furthermore, Megatron's wartime achievements were not limited to those

achieved through might: he also created the deadly cybonic plague which wiped out millions Sick Mind

and found a way to weaponize Tox-En which he used to wipe out an entire unit in front of a horrified Bulkhead. Toxicity It was through similarly

poisonous means that Megatron came closest to seizing victory in the war's final stages, infecting the Core of Cybertron itself. In purifying the core, Orion

was granted the Matrix Megatron had long-sought, becoming Optimus Prime. One Shall Rise, Part 3 After his assassin Skyquake failed to kill Optimus at the

Battle of Technahar, Masters & Students Megatron became obsessed with the Autobot leader and decided that destroying him was his right alone.

Darkness Rising, Part 4 Megatron had his lead scientist Shockwave send an army of Predacons to Earth to lay waste to any Autobot forces on the planet and

secure any and all energon deposits. Project Predacon

Eventually, the war left Cybertron in ruin and forced the whole Transformer race to exile into space.

Orion Pax, Part 2 Megatron would not leave the planet unguarded and placed a few Insecticon guards in

stasis on the planet, should the enemy return. Orion Pax, Part 3 In time, Megatron and his army arrived on

Earth, establishing mines to collect the Energon that the planet had been seeded with during the war.

Stronger, Faster He also had some of his best warriors, such as Skyquake to guard deposits either not ready

to mine Masters & Students . After some early conflicts on the planet, Megatron withdrew to space to search

for more troops, leaving Starscream in charge. Darkness Rising, Part 1 Searching the void for three years,

Megatron found something better than mere warriors: he discovered a new source of Dark Energon, the"blood of Unicron", with which he could reanimate fallen Transformers as an army of the undead.

Returning to Earth and resuming command of the Decepticons, Megatron tested the Dark Energon on the

deceased Autobot Cliffjumper, reviving him as a zombie "Terrorcon" that slaughtered several Decepticon

Miners, but which posed no threat to Megatron himself. Unfortunately for Megatron, this partial reactivation of Cliffjumper's lifesigns drew Optimus

Prime's Autobots to the Decepticons' mining operations. Deciding it was not yet time for a confrontation with Prime, Megatron withdrew aboard the

Nemesis and continued to brood over the Dark Energon.

Megatron's inability to control the zombie Cliffjumper convinced him that he needed to integrate the Dark Energon into his own body in order to control

the undead legions he planned to create. Darkness Rising, Part 2 Thrusting a shard of the material into his spark, he was filled with its power, feeling as thoughhe was connected to Unicron's very thoughts. Requiring a test run for his new power, Megatron headed to the site of an ancient Cybertronian battle on

Megatron, you fool! Rave glowsticks aren't

candy!

I chew scenery while the zombies chewyou.

Well, it's better than just being a head I

suppose.

Earth, one full of the remains of fallen warriors, where he was confronted by Optimus and Ratchet. Using

Dark Energon to raise the dead Transformers as Terrorcons, Megatron successfully found he had

complete control of the undead horde, and send them against the two Autobots. Darkness Rising, Part 3

While Optimus and Ratchet fought their way through the

Terrorcons, Megatron flew off before they could reach

him, satisfied with his test results and ready put his plan

into actionto open a space bridge to Cybertron and

use Dark Energon to revive all the dead.

Darkness Rising, Part 4 Despite the Autobots' best efforts to

damage theNemesis and prevent the bridge from

opening, Megatron succeeded in his plans, and then had

his showdown with Optimus Prime atop the bridge itself as he waited for the Terrorcon legions to pass

through to Earth. While the two old foes battled, the other Autobots sabotaged the bridge, causing it to

explode and destroy both the Terrorcon army and seemingly Megatron himself. Darkness Rising, Part 5

The Autobots were not so lucky, however: the DarkEnergon in his spark allowed Megatron to survive the

explosion, but just barely. When Starscream found his

leader floating in space, he tore the Dark Energon from his body in the hope that he would expire, but

was caught in the act by Soundwave's Deployer, Laserbeak, and forced to take Megatron back to the

Nemesis, where he was placed in stasis in the sick bay. Masters & Students

Starscream was content to leave Megatron in this state to recover or expire as fate saw fit, but the crew

of theNemesis disagreed, and voted to bring in the Decepticon medic Knock Out to help heal their

wounded leader. But the discovery of an Energon Harvester forced them to push off Megatron's

recovery. Deus ex Machina Even with Knock Out's expertise, it seemed unlikely that Megatron would recover, but his assistant Breakdown gave his body a

good buffing nonetheless, and Starscream approved, as it meant their ex-leader would look his best for the memorial service. Speed Metal

When Optimus Prime was infected by cybonic plague, Arcee and Bumblebee boarded theNemesis to search for an antidote. While they failed to find

one in the database, the two Autobots did discover Megatron in stasis, and Bumblebee mind-linked with the Decepticon leader via a cortical psychic

patch to try and pluck the cure from his sleeping brain. Bumblebee found himself within Megatron's mind, which took the form of Kaon, where the

Decepticon's subconscious was spending its time killing endless visions of Optimus Primes. Unfortunately, Bumblebee's intrusion only caused Megatron

to become aware of his situation when he found he was unable to kill Bumblebee. Learning what had befallen Optimus, Megatron initially refused to give

up the cure until Bumblebee convinced him that he would gain greater satisfaction from finishing his enemy off with his own two hands. Megatron offeredthe cure in exchange for Bumblebee's help in escaping his mental prison, but Bumblebee double-crossed him, withdrawing from his mind as soon as the

Hey, you really are uglier from this angle!

In the end, you will always kneel.

cure was in Autobot hands. At the last moment, Megatron was able to effect his own escape, leaping into

Bumblebee's mind along with him. Sick Mind Recalling the

sliver of Dark Energon Starscream had removed from his

body, Megatron took full control of Bumblebee's body a

short time later and used the GroundBridge to return to

the ancient battlefield where he had raised his original

Terrorcons, recovering the Dark Energon shard he had

used to do so. He returned to the Autobot base, where

he dealt with Ratchet and Raf before again

GroundBridging to theNemesis and using the Dark

Energon to restore his body and return his mind to it. Storming out of theNemesis to find Starscream,

Megatron snatched his subordinate out of the air in the middle of a battle with Optimus Prime and took him back for his punishment. Out of His Head

Despite his treason, Megatron decided not to terminate Starscream, viewing him as no real threat and

taking perverse amusement in his repeated failures. Rock Bottom Instead, Megatron proceeded to beat

Starscream only to neardeath, then had him placed in the infirmary, occasionally visiting to gloat.Shadowzone

When Breakdown was captured by the humans of MECH, Megatron refuted Starscream's suggestion

that they rescue him, announcing that if Breakdown had allowed himself to be captured by those weaker

than him, then he deserved whatever he got. Operation: Breakdown Breakdown did manage to escape,

however, and in his wounded pride, volunteered to recover a polarity gauntlet for Megatron in order to

prove his worth. Megatron was disappointed when his minion returned without the gauntlet, but was

placated with the revelation that he had instead brought back Airachnid. Metal Attraction

Discovering that Starscream was still attempting to mine energon for his personal use without his

knowledge, Megatron determined that the amusement had come to an end. Taking him to the mine in

question, Megatron revealed that he had been aware of Starscream's previous transgressions the whole

time thanks to Soundwave, and was about to execute his grovelling lieutenant when Jack Darby and

Arcee walked in. In the firefight that followed, stray shots from Megatron's fusion cannon brought the

mine down on top of them all, with Megatron being completely pinned by rubble. Jack happened upon

the Decepticon leader with a mining drill, and Megatron, knowing that the human would not help him,

instead urged Jack to finish him off. Jack refused, saying that wasn't what Optimus would do, and left,

Look, Prime! Look at the fireworks! Aren't

acquiesced with a smirk. Rock Bottom

Though Megatron allowed Starscream to live and continue as his second-in-command, he was furious to learn from Airachnid that Starscream had kept

the location of theHarbingerfrom him. He ordered Starscream to lead Airachnid to the crash site and retrieve an experimental weapon that was inside.

Much to Megatron's fury, Airachnid returned not only without the weapon, but with the news that Starscream had been captured by the Autobots as

well. Partners

When a formula for Synthetic Energon was transferred from a Cybertronian data cylinder into the mind ofthe Autobot Bulkhead, Optimus Prime petitioned Megatron for the return of the cylinder so they could

extract the formula, after which they would willingly hand it over. Megatron briefly considered the

proposal, but instead sent Knock Out and Breakdown to capture Bulkhead and dared Prime to fight for

the cylinder. When his Vehicon troops were defeated, Megatron simply crushed the device and took

flight. T.M.I. The synthetic energon formula helped the Autobots counter Megatron's next tactic: causing

the Autobots to burn through their energon supplies at an accelerated rate by leading them on wild goose

chases. Juiced up on the "SynthEn", Ratchet attacked Megatron and Knock Out while they were

surveying an energon mine, and sent the Decepticon leader flying with one punch. Unfortunately for

Ratchet, Megatron swiftly recovered and subdued the Autobot medic with ease. Stronger, Faster

Convinced by Dark Energon-induced visions that an impending prophecy detailed his own destiny,

Megatron stepped up the Decepticons' work in constructing a new space bridge so they could obtain

more Dark Energon. When they located the last component they needed, Megatron went in personally,

grievously wounding Raf with a blast of Dark Energon on the way and creating an unintended distraction

that allowed him to make off with the power source he needed. Soon after, Megatron lured Optimus

Prime to a volcano he had seen in his visions, and during their battle, it erupted with Dark Energon,

imbuing Megatron with the power he needed to fell Prime. One Shall Fall The intervention of the other

Autobots saved Prime's life, but this was of little concern

to Megatron, who now had all the Dark Energon he

needed and set his miners to work gathering it up. When

Soundwave detected a spark-beat coming from within

the Earth, Megatron felt it pounding through his brain

and realized what his visions had meant: the lifeforce of Unicron himself dwelt within Earth. Leaving

Airachnid in command, Megatron flew into the volcano to address Unicron, but did not receive the

power he had hoped the chaos-bringer would bestow on him, instead receiving Unicron's displeasure at

the fact that Optimus Prime still lived. One Shall Rise, Part 1

they splendid?!

"Just this once, we work together! Mortal

enemies working together for the common

good!" "Be quiet!"

Spurned, Megatron instead went to the aid of Optimus and his Autobots, who were under attack from

Unicron's stone avatars. He offered Optimus his serviceshe intended to lead them to Unicron's real

form so that Optimus could use the Matrix of Leadership on the Chaos God. While the Autobots returned to base, Megatron kept the giant stone

Unicrons busy, and Prime eventually accepted Megatron's offer. On arrival in the Autobot base, Megatron encountered a couple of humans he

recognized, Raf and Jack, as well as a new loud one. Megatron was first to step through the GroundBridge into the Earth's core, and as the Autobots

followed, he warned them that Unicron already knew they were there. One Shall Rise, Part 2

Despite the persistent influence of Unicron, Megatron led the Autobots through Unicron's insides, evenhelping them fight off antibodies. The Dark Energon he was imbued with allowed him to enter Unicron's

spark chamber with Optimus, though at that point Unicron's influence became so great that the Chaos

God was able to commandeer his body. After Optimus unleashed the power of the Matrix, apparently

extinguishing Unicron's spark, Megatron went to kill Optimus, only to discover his foe had lost his

memory and now believed himself to be Orion Pax. Megatron convinced Optimus that the other

Autobots were enemies, and the pair returned to theNemesis, where Megatron introduced "Orion Pax"

to his men. One Shall Rise, Part 3

Megatron wasted no time in spinning a tale of Autobotwarlord Ratchet and the destruction of Cybertron, and

put Orion Pax to work decoding data from the Iacon

archives for a project of the same name. Though aware

that at some point Orion would find out the truth,

Megatron made all precautions to make sure that didn't happen before Orion finished his work. Knock

Out was ordered to set up Orion's work station a mere few inches away from the Energon storage vault.

During Orion's decoding, the archivist noted several references to Starscream as being Megatron's second

in command. As part of his deception, Megatron claimed Starscream to be dead, and orderedSoundwave to carefully remove Arcee from the ship with a GroundBridge. Arachnid offered to destroy

the bike bot herself, but Megatron feared that Orion would become weary of their activity's should he bare witness to an Autobot's destruction.

Orion Pax, Part 1 Megatron attempted to cover for a surprise visit by Starscream when he managed to sneak aboard the ship. Orion asked why Megatron

lied, but the con leader stated that Starscream as "dead" to their cause for joining the Autobots. However, Starscream's visit caused Orion to uncover the

truth and find out that he was, in fact, Optimus Prime, the so called leader of the Autobot "invaders". Soundwave notified Megatron of Orion finding

information on Optimus Prime, and Megatron realized that harsher methods would be necessary to complete Project Iacon. Orion Pax, Part 2

Megatron payed Orion a visit to expose Orion's findings. Orion demanded to know the full truth, but Megatron refused, causing Orion to delete his

findings. Fortunately, Soundwave had recorded his findings, and the data was saved. Soundwave also informed Megatron of the activity at the spacebridge and went there to find that the Autobots had taken control of it, and that one of their traps on Cybertron was activated. Megatron ordered the

guards to watch Orion while he went out and threatened to kill the archivist if he had not completed the

project. Megatron realized that the Autobots must have been searching for a way to restore Orion to

Optimus. Megatron arrived at the space bridge and defeated the trio of Autobots present, and waited

for Arcee to return from the open space bridge with the Matrix in her possession. When Orion had

overpowered his guards and came to attack Megatron, Orion declared his loyalty to the Autobots,

pulled out his blades, and attacked Megatron. The amnesiac Autobot was no match for him. While the

Decepticon leader was subsequently kept busy by Arcee, Jack returned the Matrix to Orion, who

regained his memory and left with the Autobots, leaving Megatron screaming furiously at his failure.Orion Pax, Part 3

Following the first of the artifact coordinates left by Orion, Megatron and his men unearthed the Spark

Extractor. While Megatron was bringing it back through the GroundBridge, it was taken from him by

Bumblebee. He then ordered Knock Out and Breakdown to retrieve another artifact before Bulkhead

and Bumblebee did. Operation Bum blebee, Part 1 Megatron was pleased when Knock Out returned with a force

field generator, quickly demonstrating the object's power with a cannon-blast. Megatron himself joined

the mission to get the third artifact, and managed to secure the Forge of Solus Prime by holding a prone

Bulkhead hostage. Unfortunately, he discovered that the Forge wouldn't work without the power of aPrime behind it. Operation Bumbl ebee, Part 2

When Dreadwing arrived on Earth, Megatron filled him in on what had happened to his brother

Skyquake, but warned him not to seek revenge on his own. When Dreadwing did anyway, Megatron

figured that would be the last they saw of him, although he was glad that Dreadwing both survived and learned his lesson. Loose Cannons

Reminded of Airachnid's past treachery, Megatron tasked Dreadwing with ridding them of her.

Dreadwing not only failed, but returned minus Breakdown, much to Megatron's disgust. Megatron

responded to Airachnid's later communication by attempting to get rid of her himself. Although she set anInsecticon on him, the mighty Megatron eventually prevailed against it. The fight took all of his strength,

and he was subsequently surrounded by Autobots. With Dreadwing's help, he escaped and made

Dreadwing his new second-in-command. Crossfire

Megatron responded to reports of Starscream on the ship and found not one but four Starscreams on

the bridge. After attempting to appeal to their treacherous nature, he took advantage of a diversion to

offline three of them before the fourth escaped. The diversion turned out to be a mass Insecticon attack,

but after a fight, the Insecticons suddenly stopped and announced they were loyal to him. Then the

Nemesis crashed. Armada Megatron got the ship moving again using Dark Energon, but when it exhibited

its own intelligence and refused to follow his orders, he tried to shut it down, only to be put into stasis lock. He only awoke when the kids reversed the

energon flow. Flying Mind

As Knock Out prepared to go and try to find the first of the four relics which the ship had found the location of, Megatron instructed him to take an

Insecticon as muscle. Tunnel Vision Megatron then sent Dreadwing to Antarctica to find the relic there Triangulation and then sent Hardshell and three other

Insecticons to a volcanic area at the equator, Toxicity before sending Soundwave to find the last relic.

He was impressed with the Resonance Blaster Soundwave found, but less so with Dreadwing and Knock Out, the latter of whom returned looking like

he'd been run over by a train. After they found a grenade implanted in Laserbeak, Megatron set Soundwave back to work decoding the Iacon database.Triage His rage over Hardshell's failure was mollified when the Insecticon claimed to have offlined Bulkhead, but when they later got a call from

Wheeljack revealing Bulkhead was still alive, Megatron demanded Hardshell bring him Wheeljack's spark as a substitute. Instead Hardshell's corpse was

brought back before him, and Megatron was shocked to learn a human girl was responsible. Hurt

After sending Knock Out to investigate Breakdown's signal coming back online, Megatron expressed

distaste at the Breakdown/Silas hybrid who was brought to the ship. Nevertheless he allowed "Cylas" the

opportunity to prove himself worthy of a place in the Decepticon ranks by supplying them with a Project

Damocles satellite. Though the initial results were promising, he sent Cylas to terminate Raf when the

boy's hacking threatened to railroad their plans. When Cylas failed to do so and the satellite was stopped,Megatron called him back, and handed the former MECH commander over to Knock Out for dissection.

The Human Factor

When Soundwave decoded another set of Iacon relic

coordinates, Megatron initiated a decoy relic beacon to

give them the advantage over the Autobots, and went to

fetch the latest relic with a team. Though hoping it would be a Decepticon weapon, Megatron was

stunned when it turned out to be the Star Saber. When he was unable to extract the sword, he had the

Decepticons chip away a chunk of the mountain to be hauled away by theNemesis in an effort to ensureit did not fall in Optimus's hands. Unfortunately, the arrival of a new Autobot delayed them long enough

that the other Autobots discovered the deception. Optimus quickly managed to get hold of the sword

despite Megatron's best efforts, and as the Autobot leader unleashed the sword's power, Megatron was

forced to retreat in his ship, noting it was now the Decepticons' darkest hour. Legacy

Coming up with a new plan to combat the Star Saber, Megatron took Dreadwing through the space

bridge to Cybertron, and broke into the tomb of a Prime. After having Knock Out graft the Prime's arm onto Megatron, he was finally able to use the

Forge of Solus Prime to forge a Dark Star Saber with some of his Dark Energon. Once Soundwave decrypted a new set of coordinates, he got the

opportunity to test it on Arcee and Smokescreen when the pair found the first Omega Key, whom he swept aside with ease. With new-foundconfidence, Megatron challenged Prime to a duel, and though his new sword cleaved right through the Star Saber, Megatron was unable to stop the

It's treason then...

Because we haven't seen this before.

Autobots from getting away with the Omega Key. Alpha/Omega Gloating of his destruction of the

Star Saber, he allowed Knock Out the opportunity to retrieve the next relic. Upon his return with

another Omega Key, Megatron was intrigued by the relic, believing it to be part of a larger piece,

and put the doctor to work analyzing it. He was less impressed with Dreadwing who returned

empty handed from his mission, and asserted that they needed to locate the Autobot base to

recover their relics. Then Soundwave decrypted the final part of the Iacon databse, revealing

Smokescreen to be relevant to their search. Hard Knocks

After they extracted the Omega Key from

Smokescreen, Megatron had Knock Out

perform a cortical psychic patch procedure on

the Autobot to learn their purpose. After

discovering that all four could be used to revitalize Cybertron, he left Knock Out to find out where the

Autobot base was, Megatron went to place the Omega Key in storage. However Smokescreen escaped

and snatched it out of his grasp and made off with the other key as well. Though Megatron and his men

gave pursuit as the Autobot jumped off their ship, Smokescreen got away. The Decepticon leader told

Dreadwing they would need to locate the Autobot base quickly to retrieve the other keys, only to findStarscream on the bridge, with all four of the Omega Keys as a peace offering. Inside Job Intending to

find what Starscream really planned, Megatron had himself plugged into the rogue Decepticon with a psychic patch. Despite most of Starscream's

memories turning out to be incriminating, he was eventually convinced to allow Starscream to rejoin the Decepticon ranks. Patch

Megatron attempted to stress to Dreadwing that the Decepticons needed to be united. Unfortunately Dreadwing was more interested in slagging

Starscream, and Megatron had to blow a hole through him. Once the location of the Omega Lock was established, Megatron took the Keys to

Cybertron to find it. He and his men were attacked by the Autobots, who got away with the Keys while Megatron was otherwise occupied with the

spark extractor. With some help from Starscream, Megatron got hold of the Autobots' human friends to use as a bargaining chip to secure the return of

the Keys. Regeneration

Once he had the Keys back, Megatron had the lock activated and revealed that he intended to use it on

both Cybertron and Earth so he'd have two worlds to rule, starting with Earth. Shockingly, this news

resulted in Optimus slicing Megatron's sword arm off before destroying the Omega Lock. Though the

Autobots escaped, Megatron would have the last laugh, as he knew the location of their base and used

the Omega Lock to create a fortress there before Optimus destroyed it. If he could not conquer

Cybertron, he could at least conquer Earth. From theNemesis, he and his men attacked and destroyed

the Autobot base as their first act of aggression. Darkest Hour

surveillance. He got the opportunity to test his new citadel's fusion cannons on some foolishly attacking humans, and contacted Agent Fowler, claiming to

want to co-exist peacefully with humanity. With the continuing failure of Starscream to get any information out of the captive Wheeljack, Megatron sent

Knock Out to Cybertron to search for the relics lost during the Omega Lock battle. He was pleased when Knock Out returned with the long lost

Shockwave. Darkmount, NV Megatron appointed Shockwave his first lieutenant in charge of science. With failures mounting, including an aborted attempt

by Starscream to track down the Autobots by freeing Wheeljack with a tracking device attached, Megatron's anger grew, leading Shockwave to bring to

Earth a Predacon he had cloned. Scattered The beast was dispatched, but to Megatron's disappointment it returned empty-handed. Prey

Megatron was furious when Starscream scattered their troops in pursuit of phantom Autobot signals, shortly before Darkmount itself was attacked. TheDecepticon leader cut short Ultra Magnus's attempt to assault the fusion cannon control room, and ordered the Autobots executed. Before this could be

done, Optimus Prime turned up, comprehensively beating up Megatron and throwing him into the fusion cannon power core. Despite his protests, the

other Decepticons dragged Megatron back to theNemesis before the Autobots brought the citadel crashing to the ground. Rebellion

Instead the Decepticons turned their attentions to cloning, with Megatron ordering the creation of more Predacons. Project Predacon When the existing

Predacon returned, Megatron ordered Starscream to take command of it. He later dispatched the beast and his first lieutenant to Scotland when a team

searching for fossils there failed to report in. Chain of Command Megatron was displeased when it turned out Starscream had lost the Apex Armor, and was

even less impressed when Starscream caused damage to the communications dish. Knock Out, at least, did not disappoint the Decepticon leader when

he returned with another Predacon fossil. Plus One After some near-missteps in gathering the fossils required, Megatron hinted Shockwave should restrict

himself to working in the laboratory in future. Project P redacon

Megatron discovered that Knock Out and Starscream had been experimenting with Synthetic Energon and had accidentally created a zombie-like

plague. After the situation resulted in Airachnid being freed and the loss of the Insecticons, Megatron gave Knock Out orders to turn all of his

experiments over to Shockwave, and reserved aspecialpunishment for Starscream. Thirst

During a visit to Shockwave's off-site laboratory, Megatron was shocked to learn that the Predacon could transform and was intelligent enough to speak.

Though Predaking affirmed he was loyal to Megatron, the Decepticon leader suspected that once Predaking discovered that the Predacons were

superior to ordinary Decepticons, he would turn against them. The Decepticons quickly realised they'd need to terminate Shockwave's cloning process,and Starscream came up with a plan to pin it on the Autobots which succeeded splendidly. In the aftermath of the explosion, the Decepticons discovered

that the Synthetic Energon stored in the lab had created Cybermatter. Evolution

With this discovery in mind, Megatron put Shockwave in charge of perfecting the Synthetic Energon formula, however they quickly realized that the

Omega Lock would needed to be repaired to allow for its targeted delivery, and that Ratchet would be needed to complete the formula. Megatron told

Shockwave he had decided that Earth and Cybertron were two halves of the same coin, and he intended to rule both. As the Autobots continued to

interfere in their plans, Megatron had Predaking take part in protecting the Vehicons, though he insisted it be done with the Predacon in beast mode.Minus One

Megatron is on the right

One wonders where exactly the other CareBear came from.

Voice actor: Frank Welker (English)

Megatron, Dan and Pinkie Pie sang a collaborative group song while the scene quickly shifted between a variety of strange alternate universes.The Hub summer promo 2011

Are you ready for the summer? Are you ready for the hot nuts nights? Megatron

At some point he ended up in detention at a school because he had "anger issues". The Hub promo

He later joined back up with Pinkie Pie as well as other ponies Rainbow Dash and Applejack, and Bulkhead in scatting "Deck the Halls" The Hub Carolers

and singing "Jingle Bells". The Hub Carolers (Second spot)

He also demanded that viewers vote for him in the Hub's 2010 "Naughty or Nice" contest. They must have been listening, because he was eventually

voted the "Naughtiest" villain on the Hub that year.

Megatron declared the Hub his in a commercial for a marathon ofPrime season 1 and 2, doing certainHub-focused jokes and gags before the commercial breaks during the marathon. One such segment

showed his home movies, during which reminisced on how young he looked back then and mocked

Soundwave's dated choice of alt-mode. (This is highly unlikely to be canon.) In other commercials for the

marathon, it is revealed that out of all the radio transmissions in the universe, the My Little Pony:

Friendship is Magic theme is his favorite song, Megatron's Favorite Song (26 Hour Takeover marathon promo) and that he

has been working on new transformations, demonstrating his ability to transform into Funshine Bear, a

Care Bear, much to his humiliation. Megatron Transforms into a Care Bear (26 Hour Takeover marathon promo) Also during the

marathon; he commented on how his favorite reason that transformers were superior to humans was that

transformers didn't need bathroom breaks. He also commented that the one thing he doesn't get aboutAutobots is their continuation of transforming into land-based vehicles (not complaining, just observing).

He also expressed bewilderment over the way Americans elect their leader through democratic means,

rather than just killing off the competition like he would do. He also apologized to ALF for pre-empting his show, allowing the program to air at a later

date under his regime. The only humans that Megatron admitted to liking were those that cower before him and Dan, due to his anger.

Despite Megatron's might, Raf judged him inferior to Time Warner Cable's ability to transmit Transformers: Prime on laptop, tablet and smartphone

computers, as demonstrated by a possible Cybertronian who switches to all three devices. Time Warner Cable: Competiton

When the time came to strike against Iacon, Megatron led a five-con team in under the cover of darkness to

bomb the Iacon Energon Refinery. They had barely planted the first bomb when they were spotted and fired

on. After the other three Decepticons were shot down, Megatron gave Soundwave a bomb and set about

causing a distraction while his second-in-command went to plant it. When Soundwave was also shot down,

Megatron flew into action, helping up the rest of his team and carrying Soundwave as they retreated under the

cover of an exploding bomb. War Story

With a new plan, Megatron took Starscream to attack the NS Yamal, a Russian icebreaker near Antarctica.

He intended to use a static lance to cause the ship's reactors to meltdown exposing energon deposits beneath

the ice. Unfortunately Optimus got wind of the plan and came storming in. As Megatron detailed his plan

during their one-on-one fight, Optimus took possession of the lance. Megatron attempted to take it back,

only for Optimus to hit him with it. Ice Breaker

Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)

Voice actor: Fred Tatasciore (English), Oliviero Corbetta (Italian), Juan Carlos Lozano (Spanish)

During the early war on Cybertron, Megatron found reference to an energy source called Dark Energon, which had impressive potential as a weapon,

and became determined to claim it for himself. One of the few places it was made was in a station in orbit around Cybertron, guarded by a politically

neutral force led by Starscream. With this knowledge, he took a ship and launched an assault on the station.

The ship was badly damaged in the attack, and so he ordered Barricade and Brawl, piloting it, to ram the station. He and many of his soldiers survivedthe impact and escaped the core's detonation. They were then confronted by Starscream, who informed them that they would not allow them to take

what he had guarded for ten thousand years. After surviving a trap of sentry guns, Megatron, Barricade, and Brawl were reinforced by more of

Megatron's troops, and set out on their way to find the station's Dark Energon stores and claim them for the war effort. They encountered significant

resistance, but managed to shoot their way through, with directional aid from Soundwave. Barricade noted that the station itself seemed quite primitive;

Megatron noted it was very old, and that he intended to modernize it. At one point, the Seeker Jetfire confronted Megatron nonviolently, asking him to

give up his quest, as Dark Energon would result in only horror, death, and destruction, to which Megatron sneered, "You say that as if it were a bad

thing."

Along their way to the Dark Energon, they found that a large portion of the station had been blasted clean off, the debris field traversable but sparse

enough to allow easy viewing of Cybertron itself. Soundwave soon found records indicating that a small amount of Dark Energon lost containment and

At last we meet, my punching bag.

was the sole cause of the

destruction, underscoring

Megatron's desire for it. When

Barricade asked how he

expected to control it when no

other had, Megatron said that

such power was only for the

strong, that he was thestrongest, and not to question

him again.

When they finally reached the storage chamber, and Megatron averted Starscream's

destruction of it, he calmly entered into a container full of raw Dark Energon, while

Starscream watched and gloated at his imminent destruction...only for him to walk out,

not only unscathed, but crackling with power, which he further bestowed upon Barricade

and Brawl. A single blast of Dark Energon was enough to destroy an entire company of

station security forces, the last line of defense between Megatron and Starscream and hiscompanions.

Jetfire again tried to warn Megatron about the dangers of Dark Energon, but Starscream interrupted, asking to join the Decepticon leader. Megatron

asked what Starscream could offer that he could not simply take. Starscream revealed the station's supply of Dark Energon was almost spent, and he

knew how to manufacture moreand as luck would have it, there was a dormant Geosynchronous Energon Bridge which could be used to power it.

Jetfire retreated to inform Zeta Prime; Megatron let him go, seeming pleased by the notion of letting the Autobots tremble in advance of their actions, and

sent Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp to activate the bridge.

Megatron repeatedly mocked what he perceived as Starscream's slowness in his simple mission, but the Seeker did what he said he could. With a steady

supply of Dark Energon, Megatron launched an attack on Iacon City, intending to take a device called the Omega Key and use it to enter the Core of

Cybertron. This time, he took Breakdown and Soundwave with him. The trio took the less-guarded way inwhich, since the Autobots were not

complete fools (as even Megatron would admit), still had significant military presence. During the attack, Starscream noted that Dark Energon was

proving every bit as potent as Megatron had promised. Breakdown let Megatron know of his misgivings about the Sky Commander; Megatron admitted

he was treacherous and untrustworthy, but he had useful talents, and his cunning and ambition was intriguing.

The Omega Key had been taken from its normal resting place, however, by Autobot leader Zeta Prime, and so Megatron took his squad on an assault

on Zeta's headquarters. They met Brawl, leading an attack on the doors to Zeta Prime's armory, along the way. Even Megatron's touch of Dark Energon

could not breach the vault doors, however, and so he called in Dark Energon Bombers. When they were shot down, Brawl suggested they take out the

Autobots' air defense guns, after which bombers were called in again; Megatron's troops then held off a massive assault from what seemed like the entireAutobot army while waiting for the bombing run to finally arrive.

Zeta Prime, you might be more egotistical than me.

I mean really, a huge holographic version of you

and smaller holograms doing what you can't do

without your pointy stick thing?

"I challenge you to a thumb wrestling competition!"

"That's a thumb!?"

After the vault doors were breached, they reached Zeta Prime himself, who had constructed

several layers of security while he waited. An invincible energy field protected him, while he could

drop portions of the ceiling with pistons to crush anything beneath them, and construct endless

holographic clones of himself outfitted for melee combat, which Megatron personally found

nauseating. However, his defenses were not without flaw: periodically, the power core would

need to disperse waste heat, and Megatron's team survived long enough to destroy it during this

stage. Zeta fell, buried under the wreckage of his own defenses, and Megatron took the device

he'd carried...which started to make electronic chirping noises. Zeta, with dark humor, noted thatthe device was not the Omega Key. It merely activatedthe Key, which would come to them...

Searching for the Key in the skies aboard another ship, Megatron, with Soundwave and

Breakdown at the controls, were abruptly confronted by a massive ship, Omega Supreme, who

knocked them out of the sky, causing them to crash back in Iacon. There, they played a cat-and-

mouse campaign in a desperate attempt to survive the enormous Autobot's vast firepower, though

Soundwave noted that the weaponry they bore had little chance of penetrating Omega Supreme's

armor. Megatron, for his part, at least contrived to appear unafraid, claiming that if it came to a real fight, the brute wouldn't stand a chance against

Megatron's intellect. However, Omega's attacks drove them underground and left them unable to immediately transmit counter to Starscream, whodeclared Megatron dead and announced he was taking control. Even when they re-established contact, Starscream's aerial forces only briefly distracted

Omega, who dispensed large numbers of troops, sucked up Decepticons with a tractor beam, fired weapons of mass destruction, and mined the roads

Megatron and his squad were using.

Soundwave, however, had come up with a suggestionthere were weapons emplacements

higher up that had the ability to damage Omega Supreme. Taking them from the Autobots was a

battle in and of itself, but nothing compared to the fight against Omega Supreme, who could

unload entire squadrons of Aerialbots. Nonetheless, Megatron's boldness and tactical acumen

finally shot Omega Supreme out of the sky.

Gloating, Megatron found that the

behemoth was still not defeated, and

indeed was drawing power from

Cybertron itself to repair his systems,

making him stronger, if anything.

However, by corrupting the energon

batteries with which he was using to feed himself with Dark Energon charges, they were able to

weaken him to the point where they could finally blast away his last defenses and brought him to

heel. With Omega Supreme defeated, Megatron went underground, directly to the Core, and

I stand on your crotch! corrupted it with a massive infusion of Dark Energon, finally bringing Cybertron itself more

completely under his control.

At this point, Megatron was clearly convinced, and for good reason, that he'd won, making propaganda broadcasts extolling his greatness and how he

had taken away the Autobots' burdens of "liberty" and "choice". When Starscream was defeated and the Decagon retaken, however, he realized the

Autobots were not yet going to roll over for him, and sent a distress signal from Zeta Prime, whom he had kept alive in the Kaon prison camp, in order to

provoke a rescue attempt from the Autobots. His old acquaintance Optimus took the bait, and Megatron confronted him, telling him that the war could

be over tomorrow if Optimus took the Autobots and left. Optimus refused, so Megatron consigned him and his team to the prisons. When they managedto stage a mass breakout, an enraged Megatron ordered his troops to prevent their escape at any cost, to the point of tearing apart portions of Kaon.

This was not enough, however, and they escaped, journeying to the Core, where they kickstarted the cleansing of Megatron's corruption. Doing so,

however, would take the Core millions of years of shutdown, rendering Cybertron uninhabitable. Whether Megatron knew this or not, when he saw the

Autobots leaving after Optimus's refusal of his earlier offer, he apparently took offense. His earlier plans of renovating Starscream's station had come to

fruition; now, it mounted a powerful superweapon, capable of destroying entire structures in one shot. He had it fire upon the Autobot transports as they

left. When a team of Aerialbots attempted to disable or destroy it, he called Jetfire, now one of them, and taunted him about his past. He further mocked

them when they destroyed the plasma coolant system without apparently having accounted for backups. Finally, during the attack he came into

possession of information on Optimus Prime's location, and ordered Trypticonthe name of the weapon, for it was actually a Cybertronianto fireupon it.

Trypticon, however, was forced into his natural form and defeated after he crash-landed on Cybertron. Megatron's reaction to this went unrecorded.Transformers: War for Cybertron

Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)

Megatron was the Decepticon Leader during the final days of the Great War. After capturing an Autobot facility, and killing a cadet, Megatron revealed

his plan to his troops. Megatron intended to conquer Trypticon Space Station, which had the means and power to manufacture Dark Energon: a variant

of Energon which greatly increased the stamina and strength of its host. Megatron fought his way through the station to its commander, the Autobot

Starscream. Upon Starscream's defeat, Starscream offered his services and the Dark Energon if he was spared. Megatron agreed, and Starscream

joined the Decepticons.

After a test run of the Dark Energon in Kaon Prison, Soundwave deduced the element would only kill the host, but Starscream was able to find a way to

fix it. Megatron then decided the time was right, and led his army to the inner levels of Cybertron. He was able to activate the uplink to channel energy

from the Core of Cybertron itself to Trypticon Station, but he needed the Omega Key to access it once it was shut down with a firewall.

Megatron learned through a recording from Laserbeak that Autobot Leader Zeta Prime had the Omega Key in his possession and had holed up deep

within Iacon. Megatron led a full-scale assault on the city, totally devastating Iacon, until he found Zeta Prime at last. After a hard battle, Zeta fell, andMegatron obtained the Omega Key. However, immediately upon taking it, alarms went off, and Iacon itself was shaking. Zeta Prime, despite being

mortally wounded, laughed at Megatron's face, saying the Omega Key was only the key to the true

key: the city-sized Autobot Omega Supreme.

Omega immediately attacked the victorious Decepticons, and quickly decimated their presence in

Iacon, save for Megatron's team and a few others. By this point, Megatron was absolutely furious at

Starscream: Megatron declared it was he who led them to Omega Supreme and the devastating

onslaught he carried out. Starscream bitterly retorted even if Megatron killed him, Omega Supreme

would still be out for his blood, helping nothing whatsoever. Megatron angrily let it go for the time being,and led his army to battle. His troops' confidence beginning to falter, Megatron declared they would

either be kicking themselves for not acting for the rest of their lives, or heroes in a historic event. His

men followed him to battle Omega, and the titan fell. Megatron was free to corrupt the Core of

Cybertron with Dark Energon, and obtain near-supremacy of Cybertron.

That kind of went downhill when the new Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, extinguished the Dark Energon and destroyed Trypticon Space Station, didn't

Transformers: Cybertron Adventures

Voice actor: Fred Tatasciore (English), Oliviero Corbetta (Italian)

Early in the war, when the Autobots learned of the existence of the orbiting superweapon Trypticon, Megatron sent waves of Decepticon forces to keep

them from discovering more about it. Megatron, happy to see the destruction Trypticon was creating, ordered Starscream and Skywarp at gunpoint to

return to Trypticon and clean up after it, while he took his troops into battle to scour the area for Autobots to kill. Few Autobots other than the medic,

Ratchet, were spared Megatron's initial assault.

When Megatron found out that Starscream had left his post at Trypticon, Megatron grew angry. But the Autobots had infiltrated the Datacore, so

Megatron focused his efforts there instead. Bumblebee was captured, and information useful for the taking of Iacon was pulled from his mind. Megatron

assigned Skywarp the task of the initial Iacon assault. The traitorous Starscream returned to Megatron's focus, and the Air Commander was ordered to

infiltrate the Core of Cybertron to reactivate the Geosynchronous Energon Bridge. But Starscream took too long, discovering Megatron had already

reached the Core by the time he arrived. In a foul mood, Megatron would test Starscream's loyalty by putting him on the Iacon assault's front lines.

The assault went as planned, and Iacon crumbled. As Barricade and Starscream reached an empty Council Chamber, Megatron alerted them to the

evacuation of the surviving Autobots. Three Autobot ships positioned themselves to escape, and so Megatron ordered Thundercracker and Skywarp to

take them down.

Though Iacon fell, the Trypticon orbiting superweapon was destroyed by the Autobots... but not before Megatron ripped the datacore from its brain so
