Megatron

* July 2007 (First Time)
* July 2011 (Second Time)
* July 2017 (3rd Time)

**Megatron** was the leader of the Decepticons and the main antagonist of *Wolves vs. Transformers*. Unlike his fellow Cybertronians, Megatron believes that humanity to be a weakness and vows destroy it as well as everything Optimus holds dear. He also has a rivalry with his Second-in-command, Starscream, who he often abuses both physically and mentally. This often leads the latter into plotting against his master no matter what the cost.

He made his live-action debut as the main antagonist of the 2007 film *Transformers.*

## Personality

Like the Fallen himself, Megatron despised the human race as he considered them as fleshlings, insects and an inferior race. Megatron shown his disgust of a human when he fling a man. Despite of his dislikes for humans, he is willing to spare them to make them as his "pets" such as Dylan Gould.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Cybertronian Physiology**: Megatron is one of the most, if not the most powerful Cybertronian, with seemingly only Optimus Prime and Lockdown being on par. His powers and abilities include:
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: His strength is equal to that of Optimus Prime. He exceeds most superhumans in strength. He has hit Optimus Prime through a mountain.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Megatron has Invulnerability to anything humans and most Transformers can use against him. He is extremely resistant to high and low temperatures and can function in almost any environment.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: Megatron has enhanced speed capabilities to different extents.
	+ **Flight**: He can generally fly. Megatron has the power of flight in robot mode despite not having a flying alternate mode, can travel unaided through space between planets and can fly while drunk on Energon.
	+ **Superhuman Intelligence**: While his sanity is often very questionable he has shown genius-level intelligence both as a military commander or strategist and as an engineer creating absurd inventions and weapons.
	+ **Transformation**: Their colloquial name is a reference to their signature ability - one which allows them to scan nearly anything and transform into it. While they normally appear as humanoid robots about the size of a small building, their alternate forms allow them to take on the appearances of weapons, vehicles, animals, and more, complete with whatever benefits such transformations can provide. A Cybertronian's ability to transform is tied to several features within their biology. The first is a transforming cog embedded in their minds, which gives them the mental capacity to activate their transformations consciously alongside their brain module. In the original Generation one cartoon, he was also the only one to turn into a machine gun-like device

### Abilities

* **Master Tactician and Strategist**: Megatron is a brilliant military tactician and a peerless general, with centuries of experience in using strategies, quite possibly one of the best masters of tactical warfare in the universe. Megatron’s mastery and experience in using strategy and tactics allows him to create extremely complex and well-coordinated plans and execute them effectively.
* **Master Manipulator**: Megatron is an extremely manipulative and devious individual, able to manipulate many Cybertronians into working for him.
* **Master Combatant**: Megatron has millions of years of combat experience. He's often portrayed as having roots in gladiatorial combat and/or pit fighting. He has demonstrated the ability to go up against Primes and combiners much larger than himself.
* **Master Swordsman**: Megatron is an extremely skilled swordsman with which he was able to easily fight off the combined assault of Bumblebee, Arcee, and Bulkhead in *Prime*, including the Rachet's lasers and near-entirely pressure Optimus Prime into the defensive and soon gain the upper hand and break his sword.
* **Expert Marksman**: He can throw most projectile weaponry with great aim and is well-versed in the use of firearms.
* **Indomitable Will**: Megatron has phenomenal determination, fearlessness and strength of will.

## Trivia

* In earlier drafts, He would allegedly consume the sparks of his enemies, which is disturbing as he essentially is consuming his Autobot enemies' hearts.
* The book version and comic book adaptations depict Megatron to being more tragic and closer to his IDW and *Transformers Prime* counterparts. In the novelisation of the third book, Dark of the Moon, Megatron is spared from his date of being killed by Optimus. Instead he shows forms of redemption, and is actually tired of fighting. He and the other Decepticons leave Earth to rebuild Cybertron and Megatron hopes to one day rebuild his broken relationship with Optimus.
