==Summary==
Megatron wasn’t the Decepticons’ first leader, but he’s undoubtedly the most infamous. Created by the Constructicons, he quickly sought to restore the Decepticons to glory after the Autobots had beaten them in their first war. Reprogramming his creators into servitude, Megatron’s first action in the war itself was killing the Autobots’ leader. Ironically, though, he gave rise to not only the next Autobot leader, when during a raid on a storage yard he gunned down a young worker named Orion Pax, who would later resurface as his greatest foe, Optimus Prime. 
Millions of years later, in 2005, after being mortally wounded in a climactic battle with his rival, Megatron was left to float aimlessly through space by his ever treacherous lieutenant Starscream. Megatron was then summoned by Unicron, who offered him a new body, a warship and new troops to command, so long as he destroyed the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Megatron reluctantly accepted and was upgraded into Galvatron, a more fearsome and powerful warrior. After he was defeated and his master was destroyed by the new Autobot leader Rodimus Prime, however, Galvatron suffered severe damage to his processor, rendering him unhinged to the point of often attacking his own troops.

* Fusion Cannon
The fusion cannon is Megatron's signature weapon. It is attached to his right arm and is devastatingly powerful.
Optional Equipment
*The Heart of Cybertron
The Heart of Cybertron is a rare and incredibly potent power-source. It can fuel a warship from one end of the galaxy to the other, or be installed within a Transformer, giving them near invincible strength and destructive abilities.
*The Key to Vector Sigma
The Key to Vector Sigma was an ancient device that was connected to Vector Sigma and allowed a Transformer to activate the ancient intelligence. It appeared as a small remote with an overdeveloped power circuit and had the ability to control the robotic Centurion droids that remained in the lower levels of Cybertron and defended Vector Sigma.
When he returned to Earth, Shockwave informed him that the Key possessed a different power on Earth which was capable of destroying it. Megatron accidentally learned, while studying the Key, that it was capable of transforming matter into metal.
*Personality Destabilizer Device
The personality destabilizer device instills evil into any Transformer which uses it, causing their optics to turn red.
*Invisibility Spray
Intelligence: Genius. Megatron is shown to be an experienced scientist, creating a being made of pure electricity, a cloning machine, a mind control helmet used to control the clone, invisibility spray, and Personality Destabilizers. He is a capable strategist, employing numerous plans to destroy the Autobots, as well as being a decisive military commander. | Average. Galvatron loses all of Megatron's former scientific prowess, replacing it with blind rage and insanity.
Weaknesses: Extremely overconfident. | Same weaknesses as before, went completely insane after being hurled into the plasma pools of the planet Thrull.
