Megatron

This is about Megatron, for Galvatron click here.

A former gladitor in the Pits of Kaon who took on the name of Megatronus. He eventually formed the Decepticons, a group made to fight the injustice on Cybertron. However, as the war with the resistance movement, the Autobots raged on, Megatron slowly lost the purpose of his rebellion and went tyrannical. He was thrown down a chasm by Prime in the prologue but was revived using Dark Energon and Synthetic Energon, now leading the Decepticons once again.

## Personality

Megatron is hot-headed and quick to anger, feared by anyone with a sane mind. Megatron has no issues killing those against him, having killed Sideswipe in cold blood and Makeshift later on. However, in Season 2, he was paranoid, fearing disloyalty amongst ranks with the arrival of the Terrorcons and Sentinel Prime to the cons. In season 3 he puts aside his grudges and allies with Optimus against Unicron.

## Plot

### Prologue

Megatron's first appearance is when he fights Optimus Prime himself, after the former called a retreat. Megatron had the upper hand throughout most of the fight until he gloated at Optimus. His eye was shot out by Prime who ended up throwing Megatron down a seemingly endless chasm. It was unknown if Megatron survived the fall or if he had been killed.

### Season 1

Starscream, Skywarp, Airachnid and Ravage all work to bring Megatron back. Airachnid goes into the chasm and finds Megatrons body, eyes still glowing red before they turn off. She raises him from the chasm and the Decepticons get supplies. He is taken back to the Nemesis. He is taken to the lab and Shockwave says they need to do a cortical psychic patch. Starscream volunteers and enters Megatrons mind. It is a gladiatorial arena where Megatron is seen killing Devastation Maximus. Whilst confused at first Starscream manages to convince Megatron he is real, and Megatron tells him to tell Shockwave to use the mixture of Dark Energon and Synthetic. Starscream leaves his mind and tells Shockwave who hesitates as the formula isn't completed, but with no time to waste puts it in and Megatron returns.

Megatron is at the bridge and makes a speech reporting his return and Starscream's rank change to Second-In-Command. Suddenly Unicron enters Megatrons mind and gives him an offer. Revive the dark lord and get powers or not. Megatron is bskepticalut goes through with it. He declares it is time. As the bots overpower the decepticon forces, Megatron walks through a groundbridge, blowing a hole iOptimus's Ark. Optimus Prime swordfights Megatron but is no match for the powered-up Megs. He snaps Optimus's sword after slashing the Prime's chest in. Optimus is thrown into the Ark and causes a dent. Ratchet and Jazz join Optimus and gang on the Decepticon Leader, who dispatches all of them. Grimlock bursts through and slams Megatron with his mace, sending him flying but Megatron lands on his feet. Grimlock charges but gets thrown away by Megs with one punch. He proclaims himself a god as Sideswipe jumps up at the leader. Megatron gets his first kill and destroys Sideswipe with one blast. The synthetic energons power is starting to falter and Megatron leaves.

## Trivia

- Megatron is implied to still care for Optimus, offering him peace/joining the Decepticons in most battles.

- Megatron may be the most durable character in the series, taking a matrix blast from Optimus Prime and still surviving, something even Unicron could not do.

- Megatron gets the first kill outside of the prologue when he dispatches Sideswipe.
