## Biography

Hatched in a dirt-poor
area of Seibertron, his parents had already been taken by an illness plaguing
the area. His survival was guaranteed by those around him as everyone
communally raised him between them.

He was forced to grow up
fast as he figured out how to get his footing in life through physical power;
through manual labour and fighting.
It wasn’t long before he was known as the best fighter in his area and given an
invitation to the Decepticon military.

He was suspiciously fast
to accept the offer and leave his home.

It was true, Megatron had
an ulterior motive for this.

It really wasn’t long ago
when the ruling Decepticon was merely the child of the previous ruler, a ‘royal
family’ of sorts. This had led to the rulers being corrupt and arrogant, in
Megatron’s eyes undeserving of their power. He saw how hard-working Decepticons
like those that raised him were left out and denied things they needed, like
medicine, due to their lacking riches. They exercised their powers to maintain
their stature while simultaneously spitting in the eye of Decepticon values,
which was, despite their somewhat violent culture, pride and care for their own
kind and strength in each other.

Fighting in the current
ruler’s military Megatron repeated himself and quickly gained a footing within
it, and a dislike for Autobots as he fought them and saw how rife many of them
were with corruption too. During this he encountered what he thought was proof
of Autobot corruption, until said Autobot handed him something interesting, proof
of shady dealings between some Autobots and the Decepticon leader.

With this Megatron decided
to waste no more time and brought his plan forwards, letting the Autobot live
he used his gained status to get an Audience with their Ruler.

With proof in hand he
challenged the Lord to the right of Leadership.

Many were shocked, almost
disbelieving at the proof Megatron wielded but it hit the nail right on the head
and worried the proof would get to the public the old leader accepted his
challenge.

Well, it’s obvious what
happened next.
An awful, horrendous, brutal fight which ended with Megatron losing his tail,
nearly collapsing from blood loss Megatron clung onto the old ruler clamping
his teeth down into his throat, tearing it out for the world to see, despite
his wooziness he finished the deal and chewed off his head to brandish to all
who saw.

He was legally and
rightfully the new leader.

Now he was going to rule
as he saw fit and make everything as he felt it should be.
Which started with ACTUALLY putting funding, care, time and effort into
building up and keeping the population strong and happy.

The first few years of his
leadership were hectic and there were a lot of battles, mainly from those who
disagreed with the new ruler, did not want a new ruler and those who had had
dealings with the previous one losing out on some of their ‘perks’. This even
lead to many conflicts with the Autobots.

Things thankfully calmed
down a little when the Autobots gained a new leader too.
Finally enjoying a slightly quieter, easier life Megatron arranged a political
meeting with this new Prime to try and affirm some kind of political stability.

It went decently, and
neither Megatron nor Optimus, upon seeing each other, were going to verbally
admit to their random meeting a few years ago.

And so Megatron has been
leading the Decepticons ever since. His primary focus in keeping them a strong
proud race, even if there were still a few disastrous battles with the Autobots
he’s making improvements with his new policy of earning power and better
treated communities.

## Trivia

* Megatron has a pet named Muffins.
* He snores if his head is leaning back.
* Megatron loses teeth regularly, but they grow back very quick. While this is not unusual for a Decepticon as they may lose their teeth in fights often it happens much more regularly for Megatron.
