==Summary==
Megatron, the once evil leader of the Decepticons, is a master planner, constantly a step ahead of any opponent and even ahead of what he wants now, preparing for anything he may want in the future. Recently, Megatron had a change of heart, realizing that he had become a monster. But his cold clinical nature is a front he has to struggle to keep up, as he's quick to anger and quicker to use excessive violence as his answer to any problem. Megatron's trying to change but he's spent such a long time reveling in violence, it may have been a lost cause from the start. Responsible for the deaths of 4.6 billion Cybertronians, over 900 million humans, and over 100 billion lifeforms, many consider his change an effort in futility.

Standard Tactics: Often, Megatron will use his Fusion Cannon as his form of attack, choosing to attack opponents at a distance. Once the opponent is close, Megatron would then utilize close combat options, such as his fists or his melee weapons. Megatron is also known to use his own abilities, such as his transformation capabilities, in combat if it serves, and as shown in the arena, will utilize whatever is in his surroundings to gain an advantage. If pushed with no options left, Megatron will utilize Anti-Matter as a last resort.
