## Biography

### Main series

Megatron grew up to become Lord High Protector of Cybertron while his adopted brother, Optimus became the head scientist of the Cybertronian scientific division. Eventually, Megatron came across The Fallen, who corrupted him and convinced him that the AllSpark should be his. Megatron and his followers attempted to seize it, but were stopped by Optimus and his Autobots, and the Cybertronian War began.

At the end of the war, Megatron captured and tortured Bumblebee, severely damaging his Spark However, before Megatron could kill Bumblebee, the Autobots launched the AllSpark into deep space. Megatron followed the AllSpark across space in his jet mode. And In 1883, arrived on Earth where was present during the eruption of Krakatoa, but his presence was covered up by the Order of the Witwiccans. At some point after this, he found his way to the Arctic, where he would crash and become frozen beneath the ice.

In the year 1897, Captain Archibald Witwicky, the leader of the National Arctic Circle Expedition, discovered Megatron buried deep in the ice. Accidentally triggering Megatron's navigation system, Witwicky was blinded by a burst of light from Megatron's eyes, which imprinted the coordinates of the AllSpark's location on his glasses.

Megatron remained imprisoned in the Arctic until the 1930s when he was dug out by the United States government and moved to a secret Sector Seven stronghold inside Hoover Dam. There, he remained in cryo-stasis for another 72 years, during which time, many modern devices (by Earth standards) were reverse-engineered from his frozen body.

#### *Transformers*

In 2007, Frenzy infiltrated Hoover Dam and shut down the power systems, while Starscream attacked the external power lines, causing Megatron to thaw out. Once again online, the leader of the Decepticons informed the humans of his true name, before randomly killed a few of them while destroying his former prison. The Sector Seven personnel tried to subdue Megatron with liquid nitrogen, causing the Decepticon leader to fly off after the AllSpark again. He met up with Starscream for the first time in thousands of years on the outside and immediately demanded to know where the Cube was. Upon learning that the humans had moved the AllSpark, he started travelling towards mission city.

After Starscream and Brawl's opening attacks in Mission City, Megatron appears.

As Sam ran off with the AllSpark, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack. Starscream and Blackout fought Ironhide and Ratchet for the AllSpark. At that moment, Optimus Prime appeared and challenged Megatron. Barely managing to growl out Prime's name, Megatron, and Starscream transformed and flew at Prime at full speed. Optimus leaped and grabbed a hold of Megatron, who slammed him into a building before flying right through a skyscraper. Both leaders landed in the middle of an intersection, but Megatron was the first to recover and leaped upon his brother, snarling that the humans were undeserving of life.

Optimus Prime replied that they had the right to choose for themselves before he threw his brother off. Megatron declared that if Prime wished to defend them, he should "join them in extinction," forming his fusion cannon. Before he could fire, the Autobot leader drew his ion blaster and fired, hitting Megatron. The Decepticon leader shrugged off this attack, spun around from the momentum and fired his cannon, throwing Optimus Prime into the side of a building.

Megatron pursued Sam, who had removed the AllSpark from Hoover Dam, destroying everything that stood in his way. Sam ran to a dilapidated building that was the designated coordinates for a human military evacuation team, and Megatron smashed his way through, yelling out to him. Starscream destroyed the helicopter intended to take the AllSpark, and Megatron burst through the floor, inquiring if it was courage or fear that compelled him. Finally cornering him on a ledge, Megatron offered that if the human gave him the AllSpark, the boy might live as his pet. The Decepticon leader relished Sam's defiant refusal and destroyed the ledge the boy was standing upon, sending him tumbling to the ground.

Sam was caught by Optimus Prime, who then tried to escape down the side of the building before Megatron tackled him and sent all three slamming into the pavement. As a nearby human bystander (Micheal Bay himself) attempted to run, the Decepticon expressed his disgust at his proximity and flicked him away. Protecting the young boy, Prime declared that their war would end here and it was now just between the two brothers. Though lusting for the AllSpark, Megatron decided to indulge his brother's obvious death wish, declaring that only he was in this fight. Despite Optimus Prime's best efforts, Megatron was relentless, matching the Autobot leader with blow after devastating blow until he collapsed. Adding insult to injury, Megatron informed Prime that his defense of the "weak" was the real reason he lost.

 File:MegDeath.JPG
Megatron turned his attention back to Sam but was suddenly attacked by fighter jets and Captain Lennox's ground soldiers firing SABOT rounds. Optimus took this chance, striking Megatron and knocking him down. His armor damaged, Megatron ignored the punishment and focused on Sam, growling that he would kill the boy and that the AllSpark was his. As Optimus Prime ordered Sam to place the AllSpark into his chest, the boy instead pushed it into the now-exposed spark in Megatron's chest, overloading him with energy and extinguishing the Decepticon's life force. As Optimus Prime stood over Megatron's lifeless shell, watching the light flicker out of his brother's optics, he remarked somberly, yet remorsefully, that Megatron had left him no choice, and removed what was left of the AllSpark from his brother's spark cavity.

#### *Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen*

MegatronTankmode.jpgMegatron's tank modeTwo years later, Ravage, Scalpel, Mixmaster, Scrapmetal, Rampage and Long Haul (the Constructicons) discovered Megatron's body at the bottom of the Abyss, now covered in barnacles, starfish, and octopi. After the Constructicons used parts from Scrapmetal to repair Megatron's body, Scalpel struck Megatron's spark cavity with an AllSpark fragment, reviving the Decepticon leader. Megatron flew up to the surface, striking a submarine on his way, before journeying into space to find the *Nemesis*.
On the ruined ship, Megatron met up with Starscream and chastised his subordinate for leaving him to die on Earth. Starscream defended his actions by saying that he had to take care of the hatchlings, who were dying without Energon, and someone had to take command in Megatron's absence. Furious, Megatron bashed Starscream into a wall containing protoform sacks and told Starscream that even in death, there is no command but Megatron's. Megatron met up with The Fallen, who was weakened and in a life support chair. Megatron told his master he had failed and allowed the AllSpark to be destroyed, but The Fallen told Megatron that the knowledge of the AllSpark had instead been transferred to the human boy who killed him, Sam Witwicky. With the knowledge within Sam's mind, they could find another Energon source, hidden away from The Fallen eons ago. Already eager to avenge himself, Megatron begged The Fallen for the chance to strip the flesh from Sam, but The Fallen asked for patience. Before they could act, Megatron was to kill Optimus Prime, who was the last of the Dynasty of Primes, which made him the only one who could kill The Fallen. Megatron knew that Optimus would protect the boy, and ordered him captured.

 File:Megatron+TheFallen.jpg
Megatron sprang a trap, dispatching Grindor to take Sam Whitwicky, Mikaela Banes, and Leo Spitz to him at an abandoned factory.

 File:Megatron+mikaela.jpg   Although Megatron attempted to attack Optimus but was instead torn out of the factory. Optimus drove Sam to a graveyard with Megatron in hot pursuit. The Autobot and Decepticon leaders transformed and battled as Sam fled. Optimus was easily dominating the fight, trash-talking Megatron all the while, forcing Megatron to call his Decepticons for help.
Starscream and Grindor arrived to aid their commander, as Megatron told Prime that Sam could lead them to another Energon source. Kicking off his mouth plate and blasting him, Megatron asked Prime if one boy was worth the future of the Cybertronians. Prime replied that the Decepticons would never stop at killing just one, then took on all three Decepticons. Surprisingly, he was winning, stabbing Megatron multiple times and knocking off Starscream's arm. As a weary Prime tore Grindor apart, Megatron stabbed him in the back and blasted through his spark: Prime fell, mortally wounded. As Megatron moved for the boy, the rest of the Autobots arrived and provided enough cover for Bumblebee to spirit Sam away. Already injured from the battle with Prime, Megatron and Starscream were forced to retreat.

 File:MegatronVstarscream.jpg
With Prime dead, Megatron was quite angry, until Starscream informed him that the boy had escaped. Furious, Megatron smacked his lieutenant with his own severed arm and ran his treads on him for a moment for losing track of "a single insect," but Starscream countered that he was one of 6 Billion, and could be anywhere. Considering the situation, Megatron decided it was time to end their war, and that if they couldn't find the boy, they would have the humans bring him to the Decepticons. Soundwave used his scanning abilities to locate the boy's parents, the rejuvenated Fallen broadcast a message to deliver Sam to them across the planet. Megatron himself broadcasted The Fallen's message by rewiring the Empire State Building's radio tower.

Megatron then flew to Egypt, where nineteen thousand years before, The Fallen had built a Star Harvester to harness the Sun for Energon. Starscream informed him that the humans had brought Prime's body with them, and Megatron surmised the boy's intentions. Commanding the rest of the Decepticons to begin their assault, Megatron ordered Devastator to destroy the pyramid that was built over the harvester, while he himself chased Sam for the Matrix of Leadership, which would activate the harvester. Megatron almost killed Sam, but was overwhelmed by human gunfire, and flew off.

MEgatron Loses His Face ROTF .pngMegatron gets his face blown off by OptimusThe Fallen managed to take the Matrix and activate the harvester, but it had already been used to resurrect Optimus. Optimus combined with Jetfire and destroyed the harvester, knocking Megatron off the pyramid while Prime went for The Fallen. Quickly recovering, Megatron attacked Optimus from behind, leading to a two-on-one match with Megatron and The Fallen battling Prime. This one went better for Optimus than the last one, as he used Megatron's own cannon to blast half his face off and then severed the arm. Finally, Optimus used his afterburners to send Megatron hurtling through some ruins, ending his role in the battle. Megatron was so damaged he could barely call out for Starscream's assistance, but it soon mattered little as Optimus Prime killed The Fallen. Horrified at the loss of the power behind the Decepticons, Megatron acknowledged Starscream's advice that they should flee, but vowed that this wasn't over.

#### *Transformers: Dark of the Moon*

 File:DOTMeginAfrica.png
After The Fallen's death, Megatron spent the next three years hiding out in the plains of Namibia, Africa in exile. There, still visibly bearing the scars of his latest battle with Optimus Prime, he spent most of his time sitting on a ramshackle throne of junk, with only Starscream, Soundwave, Laserbeak, and the diminutive Igor to command. Megatron regularly went out to find food for the Hatchlings that lived in a collection of oil drums at the camp, occasionally scaring the local wildlife with his roaring and bellowing. Starscream expressed his concern for his master's wounds, but Megatron was less than concerned with those. Laserbeak returned after observing Shockwave's fight with Optimus and told Megatron that the Autobots had discovered a fuel cell from the *Ark (DOTM)*, which had been thought lost. Megatron then announced that the humans that were working for him had served their purpose, and ordered Laserbeak to summarily execute them.

After Sentinel Prime betrayed the Autobots, Megatron and Starscream traveled to Washington D.C., where Megatron outlined his scheme to his second-in-command. Apparently, Sentinel was supposed to rendezvous with Megatron there on Earth, but the circumstances caused them both to be deactivated, and Sentinel was the only one who knew how to activate the Space bridge.

 File:LincolnMegatron+Starscream.jpg   However, Megatron had a contingency plan: since they already had the Pillars on the Moon and Optimus had recovered the Matrix of Leadership, he merely needed Optimus to revive Sentinel, so he could activate the Pillars. And so arrived that moment, and Megatron blasted the President Lincoln statue off his stone throne and used the remains as a seat. Optimus arrived to stop Sentinel but was too late. Megatron watched this happen, after which he declared, "Here we are. Fight us *now*."

Soon, they traveled to Chicago, Illinois, where Sentinel and Megatron planned to start their global takeover. They set up their base of operations on the  Jewelers' Building. Human Dylan Gould, who was working for the Decepticons, came with Carly Spencer to watch, but Megatron ordered him to leave. After the Decepticons successfully occupied Chicago, Megatron stated that this was the world that he promised, that this way Cybertron would be restored. Sentinel, feeling his partner was getting too chummy, violently reminded Megatron of his place. Sentinel did not work for Megatron, Megatron worked with Sentinel. Sentinel warned Megatron to remember the difference.

 File:Sentinel+MeginChicago.jpg  Much later, Dylan shouted to Megatron that the Autobots who were seemingly destroyed by Starscream were still alive. Megatron ordered the bridges to be raised and all Decepticon ships to find the Autobots.
Sentinel took control of the Decepticon forces in the fight against the Autobots, and so as the battle raged Megatron lay in another throne of junk, sulking. That is until he was goaded by Carly to return to battle and kill Sentinel for usurping him. That is what he came close to doing : he intervened in the battle just before Sentinel was about to deal the fatal blow to Optimus, and severely wounded Sentinel. Megatron realized how far he had fallen in power within the past few years and had decided to once again take his rightful place at the top of the command chain.

 File:HalfofMegshead.jpg   He decided to make a truce with Optimus, as long he could remain in charge of his Decepticon forces saying, "Besides, who would you be without me, Prime?" Just as Megatron was about to shoot, Optimus shoved Megatron to the ground, leaving scratch marks with energon bleeding out, smashed Megatron's head with his energon axe and tore it off his body, causing blood flying out of his severed body, and killing the tyrant once and for all.

#### *Transformers: Age of Extinction*

*"You have no soul!"*

*That is why I have no fear!"*

- Optimus Prime and Galvatron.

Megatron's head was salvaged by K.S.I and “manipulated them into building him a new body, so he could go after the ‘Seed’!” As Brains said. Later Galvatron was used to fight Optimus by K.S.I but was pulled out when Lockdown arrived. And was transported to the Hong Kong factory.

At the K.S.I Hong Kong factory, Galvatron awoke and commands KSI Sentries, Stinger, Two-Head, KSI Boss, Junkheap, Two Lamborghini Decepticons, Aston Martin Decepticon and McLaren Decepticon giving their own conscience. Using them as his army he attacked Hong Kong to claim the ‘Seed’ but was foiled by the Autobot/Dinobot alliance. He left earth to go to Cybertron vowing to Optimus they would meet again saying he was “reborn.”

At some point after the battle of Hong Kong, Quintessa converted Galvatron back to Megatron and gets his Cybertronian Jet mode back but with a new look, and Barricade is his only soldier alive and free. Over the following year, he visited all the locations of the rising Horns of Unicron. He then kidnapped a pair of CIA officers and contacted the TRF, telling them he wanted to meet to negotiate. He asked for the release of several high class Decepticon prisoners, freeing Mohawk, Nitro, Dreadbot, was turned down when he tried to get back Berserker, so he called for Onslaught instead. Megatron then took his crew after Cade Yeager and the Autobots who were in hiding in the Scrapyard. The place was deserted, but Megatron found the decapitated head of Starscream and told him that the end was near. Megatron was then attacked by Hound, who had stayed behind to fight. Megatron beat the Autobot down and he and the rest of Megatron's Crew went in pursuit of the Autobots once again.

Transformers-The-Last-Knight-Theatrical-Trailer-2-82.jpgMegatron and his CrewThey followed their prey to a abandoned town, where the Autobots launched a new offensive, and then, Grimlock showed up, eating up Dreadbot and blasting fire. After Drift and Crosshairs killed Onslaught, Nitro and Megatron retreated, leaving Mohawk behind to die.

When Yeager and Bumblebee went to England to meet with Sir Edmund Burton, Megatron and his remaining forces followed, knowing Yeager would lead them to the Staff. Yeager was subsequently joined by Viviane Wembly, and successfully located Quintessa's staff in the knight's ship at the bottom of the ocean. Quintessa had, in the intervening time, also placed Optimus Prime under her control and sent him to obtain the staff, but when Bumblebee helped Prime break her control, Megatron seized his opportunity, streaking in, blindsiding the disoriented Prime, and snatching the staff away. He proclaimed to his nemesis that he had turned his back on Cybertron for the last time, and would watch Earth die. As Cybertron arrived in Earth orbit, the Decepticons headed for Stonehenge, where Megatron activated the portal through which Unicron's energy would be drained. When Burton and the British military attempted to stop them, Megatron fatally wounded Burton with a single blast.

The Decepticons proceeded to relocate to Cybertron, where Megatron delivered the staff to Quintessa and led the defense of her ignition chamber against the joint forces of the Autobots, humans, and Dragonstorm. His forces held the line until Sqweeks destroyed their gun emplacement and Optimus arrived and slew Infernocus. He and Nitro fell back as the Autobots broke through the defenses and arrived to thwart their plan, and soon engaged all the Autobots together. As he prepared to deliver a killing blow to Hound, he was briefly frozen by Hot Rod's time slowing gun and blasted by Hound. He was then tackled by Bumblebee and when he prepared to blast the small Autobot, Optimus Prime intervened, slicing his fusion cannon arm off. Megatron, despite his injury, managed to subdue Optimus and attempted to sway him by reminding him of how they had once been "brothers", but Optimus retorted that it had indeed only been *once*, and kicked him through a wall, sending him plummeting through the air. Quintessa was defeated and her plans foiled, but Megatron was possibly killed.

*Given that we are talking about IDW, these events may take place after Age of Extinction, but in 2017, at the same time rewriting the ending of Age of Extinction, where Optimus Prime did not leave Earth before the events of this comic, but went to look for the Creators later in the same year. Unfortunately, even this comic does not explain how Megatron regained his Cybertronian design and alt-mode.*

Megatron and the G1 Megatron amalgamated to form a superior version of themselves.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Superhuman Strength**: In T1, he was able to toss and throw Optimus around like a rag-doll. In ROTF and though slightly weakened, he was able throw Optimus into trees, kick and damage his battle mask and pierce him through the chest. In DOTM, he brutally assaulted Sentinel Prime after learning about his treachery. In AOE with his new "Galvatron" body was a brawler and was great at hand to hand combat. TLK was not shown much although Megatron was skilled with his battle axe.
* **Superhuman Durability**: Withstand Optimus Prime's ion blaster, Jazz's crescent cannon, multiple missile and grenade shots in the first film. Had barely reacted to Optimus' energon swords and punches and even manages to survive his own Fusion Cannon shot to the face by the second film. In the third movie, Megatron was able to shrugged off a few of Optimus' energon axe blow until being decapitated. By AOE, once again withstood against Optimus's attacks. At last in TLK, even when his right arm was sliced off, still kept fighting until his defeat.
* **Superhuman Speed**: Was very fast and outmaneuvered Optimus Prime in the first film. However, his speed has decreased as a result of his new and bulkier body and injuries by the second and third film. By the fourth and fifth installment, he was able to regain that speed in his new body.
* **Superhuman Agility**: Was a speedster in addition to being a Brawler in the first film, able to quickly outmanoeuvre Optimus Prime and catch up with Sam. However was reduced due to his new body, injuries and weaker mind in the later sequel. He would however regain it in AOE and TLK.
* **Superhuman Stamina**: *To be added*
* **Superhuman Reflexes**: *To be added*
* **Longevity**: *To be added*

### Abilities

* **Master Combatant**: Megatron possesses some knowledge of hand-to-hand combat and was a dangerous brawler. He usually uses brute force in his fights, but if he wants to, he can apply some kicking and punching techniques that resemble a martial artist, although he doesn't use much due to downgrades in the sequel until he is reincarnated into Galvatron in the fourth film and in new form in the fifth film.
* **Expert Marksman**: Megatron is very proficient in handling firearms, most notable his signature and dreaded weapon, the fusion cannon. With the use of his extremely potent weapon, he was able to blast Optimus Prime in point blank range, sending him to fly away and crash into the building, shrugging off the latter's ion blaster with minimal part loss. He would continue to use his fusion cannon throughout the films with potent results though his marksman skill would degraded as a result of his new body and later injures by the second and third film. It would return to it's former glory in the fifth film however thanks to the new and improved body.
* **Genius-Level Intellect**: *To be added*
* **Master Tactician**: *To be added*
* **Master Leader**: *To be added*
* **Multilingualism**: He speaks in his native Cybertronian language from time to time but is extremely fluent in English.

## Weapons

TF1 :

* **Staff**: Seen used to kill a cybertronian during the holograms by Optimus Prime back on Cybertron.
* **Cybertronian Mace**: Used to break a platform in front of him during his escape inside hoover dam and demolish the rooftop of building when Sam was at his mercy.
* **Lightweight pistol-like hand cannon**: Presumably at least two of them stored in each arm. Less destructive firepower but allows for a quicker shooting and less charging. One was used to damage Jazz.
* **Telescopic Fusion cannon**: Can be extended through is arms when combined, it does not weigh him down due to it being in the center giving him great stability. Takes a awhile to charge but packs alot of firepower to launch Optimus Prime into a building.

RotF :

* **Finger pinchers**: Seen keeping Sam to the board for the "surgery".
* **Fusion Cannon**: Weighs him down, but incredibly powerful. Packed enough power to blast Optimus Prime across the forest. This however would also become a disadvantage if used against him. Can also fire a smaller rapid burst as seen during the factory battle.
* **Claw sword mode**: Extracts into a pincer-claw, capable of piercing any Cybertronian's armour like Optimus Prime, especially from behind.

DotM:

* **Fusion Shotgun**: Longer but has less ammo and not as strong but was used to destroy the Lincoln Memorial and to wound Sentinel Prime. Later used by Optimus to finish on Sentinel Prime.

Megatron's Fusion Shot Gun DOTM .pngFusion Shotgun
AoE:

* **Fusion Cannon**: When Optimus pulled out his Energon sword on Galvatron, Galvatron shot the ground with a energy blast from the middle barrel. Damage undetermined however.
	+ **Missile mode**: Can now shoot multiple missiles to damage multiple targets. Presumable launches from slots around the Fusion Cannon's Barrel.
* **Galvatron truck attack-mode missile**: Can extend two six-missile launchers on each side in vehicle mode.
* **Mini Arm Blades**: Can slice a car like a piece a butter.
* **Heat core**: Can burn parts of his body to have a higher heat than usual. In the chest it has a particle weapon that disintegrates anything that goes through it most notable, Optimus Prime's old energon sword.

TLK:

* **Flamethrower**: Used for 5 seconds to burn up cars in anger.
* **Fusion cannon**: An upgraded fusion cannon that does not weigh him down and can be retracted. Used to knock down Hound with a powerful and explosive energy bolt, creating a huge explosion as a result and later against the armies during the final battle. Was however lost when his arm was sliced off.
* **Sword of Judgement**: Used to almost kill Optimus and decapitate Hound when he says: "We were brothers once" before he got kicked out of the lair. Literally.
* **Axe sword**: A new blade so he can even up on Prime's new sword.

## Trivia

* The prototype photographs on the back of Leader and Voyager class Megatron's packaging show him with a completely different head based upon an earlier version of his CGI design that was later dropped after much negative fan reaction as seen here: https://news.tfw2005.com/2007/01/09/first-look-at-transformers-movie-megatron-full-body-cgi-image-5796.
	+ Despite going unused, it would still appear on the older legend class Megatron toy, was featured in some of the Children's Book and later became a reference for Transformers: Animated Megatron's cybertronian head design as seen here: https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/2/20/AnimatedMegatronMovieHat.jpg.
	+ In addition, the whole monstrous and demonic looking aesthetic of Megatron from the live-action movies would also become an inspiration cue for another Megatron for the Transformers Prime show, burrowing the sharp and jagged edge on the shoulder, shark-like teeth, similar two toed feet and the cybertronian jet mode.
* According to The Movie Guide, Megatron is one of the few Transformers capable of space travel without reverting to a Protoform. This explains how he was capable of chasing the AllSpark "immediately" after its launch.
* The earliest concept designs of Megatron also gave him a look very much inspired by his classic *Generation One* counterpart as seen here: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:EarlyMegsMovieConceptartwithG1headandbody.jpg.
	+ Though his Cybertronian jet mode in the first live action Transformers movie would be used instead, this earlier Megatron was instead, intended to transform into an army tank due to the tank treads on his leg.
* According to *The Quest for the AllSpark* paperback's opening paragraph, "...Most revered were Optimus and Megatron. They were twin brothers of the Prime dynasty." (This implies that Megatron may have also had the surname "Prime" at one time.) Similarly, in the *Autobots* version of the same DS game, it is noted that Megatron "took the spark" of his and Optimus' father. However, in the twelfth issue of Titan's *Revenge of The Fallen* comic, "Barricade" informed readers that Megatron and Optimus weren't related, the term "brother" was just because they'd known each other for so long.
* Early script drafts and a children's picture book featured Megatron consuming the sparks of his fallen foes, but this didn't make it into the final film due to major time constraints. The novelisation of the movie, on the other hand, sees him chow down on Jazz in the final battle; similarly, although not outright stated in dialogue, his animalistic pouncing on The Fallen bodies of various characters (including Optimus Prime, Starscream, Jazz and the Decepticon Create-A-Bot) in the Movie Nintendo DS games, following by what appears to be rooting around in their innards, seems to suggest he's doing the same there.
* Despite his undeniable hatred of humans, Megatron is the only Decepticon in the movie who doesn't speak Cybertronian for the majority of his dialogue. In fact, he speaks *fluent* English upon reviving, despite the genuine fact that Modern English came into existence around the Sixteenth century, when he was presumably still frozen in the ice. This could suggest that he still was somehow conscious when he was studied by Sector Seven (which he also overtly states upon awakening in the non-canon IDW comic adaptation). This would explain why his first action after thawing was declaring his name—imagine being frozen for many generations past , present and future being referred to as "N.B.E. 1," or even worse: "Mega-Man" *and* "Ice-man."
* The Megatron computer generated model consisted of 2411 individual pieces, 433,949 polygons, 8924 rig nodes, and 1437 texture maps. The pieces combined gave a volume of 10,325 cubic feet.
* The Milton Bradley Transformers Battling Card Game depicts a couple of extra unique attacks for Megatron's original form; one card gives him a pair of forearm-mounted blades as an "Arm Sword," instead of his mace and another shows him firing a swarm of missiles from his chest in a "Missile Attack."
* It was decided that Megatron would not be renamed Galvatron just like in The Transformers: The Movie and The Transformers cartoon in *Revenge of the Fallen* for the sake of the general audience.
* While *Revenge of The Fallen: The Movie Universe* and the comic adaptation create the idea that Megatron is a Triple Changer that alternates between his robot, jet, and tank modes, there is absolutely nothing to support this in the movie. Throughout the entire film, he only transforms into a winged tank portrayed by the Voyager figure and is more than capable of flying in said mode. Of course, whether or not his flying tank mode is considered a third mode is up to interpretation as it possible the actual jet mode was scrapped due to production limitation.
* According to his bio on the Hasbro sticker sheets, *Revenge* Megatron weighs in at 5.7 metric tons, is 35 feet tall, uses an 'Ion-fused chain whip' for his primary weapon, has a 'Strength power level' of 10, and changes into an 'Interstellar jet.' The mention of a chain whip and a jet mode seem to indicate the card's stats were based on his original form, rather than his *Revenge of The Fallen* tank mode. The card also surmises that Megatron's might will 'make the Earthquake, and the stars fall from the sky.' The two-disc special edition of the *Revenge of The Fallen* DVD also gives him a height of 35 feet.
* In *Revenge of The Fallen: The Movie Universe*, it states Megatron possesses an internal self-regenerating dark matter power core which is possibly of alien origin which could explain why he was able to withstand most of Optimus Prime's blows.
* His weatherbeaten Mack tanker truck mode and Cybertronian sawed-off shotgun as seen in *Dark of the Moon* are fairly straightforward nods to the 1981 film *Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior*.
* Early concepts for his *Dark of the Moon* design falsely called him Cyclonus in an attempt to curb leaks and spread misinformation.
* Megatron's story was altered significantly twice during the development of *Revenge of The Fallen* and *Dark of the Moon*: the climax of the second film would have genuinely revealed Megatron served The Fallen under the pretense of becoming a Prime, which Optimus Prime exposes a lie, explaining Primes are born, not made. An angered Megatron refused to aid The Fallen in his final battle and returned to the *Nemesis* via The Fallen's space bridge to raise an army of hatchlings. This was however revised for the film where he is unfortunately removed from the battle by having Optimus disfigure him instead with his own cannon, forcing him to hide as a truck in Africa. Megatron would have genuinely survived *Dark of the Moon*, with Optimus accepting the truce after helping kill Sentinel, with Megatron returning to Cybertron and leaving the possibility open to a fourth film with Megatron still alive and well. This would change once again on screen where Megatron's offer comes across as less than sincere, allowing Optimus to finally tear his head off once and for all forever leaving Megatron totally dead once and for all forever only to return and come back alive again as a far more powerful, upgraded, updated form known as Galvatron.
	+ Despite the earlier concepts and draft being scrapped from the movie, the two would be utilized in other media such as the Revenge of the Fallen games both PS2 and console, Dark of the Moon Comic and Novel.
* Although Megatron uses his Fusion Cannon in both previous films, in *Dark of the Moon* Megatron's weapon changes to a Fusion Shotgun likely due to lack of resources, shabby healing and repairing.
	+ However, the Dark of the Moon Game and the Transformers the Ride 3D would show him having his Arm Fusion Cannon from the second film.
	+ Dark of the Moon Game depicting Megatron with his fusion cannon, despite it being destroyed was one of the biggest continuity error, however could be explained like a new arm was created from scratch using various parts (a wheel can be seen) allowing him to access his new fusion cannon. After the event of the game, it could be suggested that his main core function has depleted for the final time, meaning he could only use his fusion shotgun.
* Megatron is the only character to have appeared in all three movies to have received a distinctly different body design and alternate form for each film. Each subsequent major change having an in-story reason as well (brought back from the dead and repaired in *Revenge of the Fallen*, and being forced into hiding due to injuries he sustained at the end of the former-mentioned film in *Dark of the Moon*).
* According to most people at Universal Studios, he hates when people take selfies, believing only 14-year old teenage girls do such nonsense.
* At the end of Age of Extinction, Galvatron turned back into Megatron with a brand new body in The Last Knight with no explanation as to who, what, when, where, how and why?. His current location is unknown.
	+ However, he does have the red marking on his right side of his face, a similar marking that Quintessa would later slap onto Optimus later on meaning it is possible that she could have been responsible for the reformatting of Galvatron back to his true name.
* Galvatron's self-driving truck form is reused with a black and red colour scheme in the 2020 *Sonic the Hedgehog* movie as Dr. Robotnik's transportation vehicle.
* Originally, Frank Welker who voiced Megatron in The Transformers generation one cartoon , as well as The Transformers: The Movie and as well as Galvatron after The Transformers: The Movie in The Transformers Generation One cartoon was going to reprise his vocal role as Megatron in the first three Live Action Transformers films but Michael Bay deemed his voice ***"too light"*** for the villainous decepticon Transformers character. But feeling it would disrespectful that he asked him to change his voice, he choose Hugo Weaving instead. Though eventually, Frank Welker did get to voice the antagonistic villain character again as Galvatron in Transformers: Age of Extinction, and Transformers: The Last Knight once again as Megatron, coming off the heals of Transformers: Prime that ran from 2010 to 2013
	+ Welker would voice Megatron in other media in the mean time, such as for the first two video game adaptation on different console and later for the Transformers: The Ride - 3D, donning the deeper and much more sinister tone akin to his Transformers Prime Megatron performance.
* He was going to be in Bumblebee movie but was cut to maintain continuity with the original live-action movie when he was still frozen in the hoover dam.
	+ The Bumblebee movie had since then been confirmed a reboot, meaning a New Megatron would appear once again in a new timeline, all complete in more classic G1 style aesthetic similar to the others.
* It was proven that Megatron was weaker after the 1st movie: He had less maneuverability (due to his bulk and speed), had many weight problems such as his Fusion Cannon arm is heavier than his other arm, and he was brought down just by Optimus pulling him down. The bulkier legs with treads didn't help either. During Dark of the Moon, he was at his worst and as relatively more tame and less-aggressive due to his injuries. Then again Optimus kept training so he would be ready to face Megatron again. It won't be until Age of Extinction and The Last Knight where he would regain his strength once again.
* According to a guidebook for the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe, his claw sword mode can wield a crushing force of 576 to 600 psi which is however rather "wimpy" as a pro boxer could deliver a full on 1300 psi punch. The burn rate isn't better as it could only produce up to four horsepower and still isn't powerful enough then a small electric heater.
* Before Galvatron made it into the final movie, when the first image of the Freightliner Argosy was revealed for Transformers 4, fan speculated that the truck would have been Ultra Magnus, Nemesis Prime or Motormaster. Later, very early concept art as seen here: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/tf4-character-concept-art.951427/, would surface that would confirmed fans that the truck would indeed be Motormaster. The character has since then been dropped for a favour of Galvatron.
