## Powers and Stats

**Tier: 3-A**

**Name**: Megatron

**Series**: Transformers

**Age**: 4 million years old (possibly older)

**Classification**: Cybertronian

**Powers and Abilities**: **Demi-God Physical Characteristics, Immortality** (Type 1 and 2; Cybertronians consistently shrug off wounds that should be deadly, such as bisection or even worse and Cybertronians are stated to be exceptionally hard to kill and can survive many crazy events) **Transmutation** (Megatron employed his alternate mode to transform into a vehicle, which he utilized as a weapon. By harnessing the immense weight and mass of his transformed state, Megatron was able to crush and run over his opponent, Cy-Kill.) **skilled hand-to-hand combatant** (Megatron participated in the illicit gladiatorial combat known as pit fighting, successfully winning every bout from his initial match through to his 54th confrontation, culminating in the defeat of all his adversaries, often resulting in their demise. Additionally, in a separate incident, Megatron exhibited his exceptional proficiency in hand-to-hand combat by overpowering and dispatching the belligerent denizens of Junkion, using only his bare hands to emerge victorious in this encounter.) **Wind Manipulation** and V**ibration Manipulation** (His battle with Optimus Prime caused waves of shock throughout the city.) **Flight** (Just as Zeta Prime is about to execute Orion Pax, he is interrupted by Megatron and his Decepticons who are shown flying) Anti Matter Manipulation (In a fight with Tarn, Megatron summoned Antimatter through his eyes) **Resistance to Acid Manipulation** (Megatron fell into an acid lake while injured, but emerged from it a few minutes later without any further injuries.) **Resistance to Heat Manipulation** (Scorponok ejected Megatron from orbit and he remained impervious to the thermal friction during atmospheric re-entry as he descended to the planet's surface.)

**Attack Potency**: **Universal** (with help of Optimus Prime was able to defeat shockwave, should be on par with Optimus prime) Likely **Far Higher** (he was able to give d void a massive injury that significantly hurt him)

**Speed**: **Relativistic+** flight speed (Comparable to the seekers, who could keep up with Astrotrain, who can fly at almost Superluminal speeds) **Massively FTL+** reactions and combat speed (Comparable to Optimus Prime)

**Durability**: **Universal** (was able to tank a full blast from shockwave without any injuries.)

**Stamina**: **Superhuman**

**Intelligence**: **Genius level** (Capable of leading thousands of battlefronts simultaneously. Megatron was able to accurately predict the outcome of multiple stages of interaction, was able to deduce Zeta Prime's plan. During his battle with Zeta Prime, Megatron realized that if the Vamparc Ribbon absorbed too much Energon, it would overload and malfunction. To test this theory, he violently tore off a section of a building, killing several innocent civilians in the process, causing the Vamparc Ribbon to absorb too much Energon and overload.)

**Weaknesses:** Scorponok's commented that Megatron's ambitious vision of "Unifaction through control" was unmatched, yet his lack of discipline prevented him from achieving his goal. As a result, Megatron's pride caused him to suffer a significant defeat at the Battle of Iacon. This weakness highlights how Megatron's overconfidence and arrogance can cloud his judgment, leading to disastrous consequences.

**Notable Attacks and Techniques**:

* **Fusion Cannon**

The Fusion Cannon, an iconic weapon of Megatron, is a force to be reckoned with. Mounted on his right arm, this weapon packs an unparalleled punch, as evidenced by its demonstrated destructive capabilities. With a mere one or two blasts, it has the capacity to obliterate almost any Cybertronian. Each shot could easily level several city blocks in its wake.

* **Energon Mace**

in Megatron's arsenal is the Energon Mace. This weapon is conjured from pure energy and can materialize on either of his hands. With a single blow, the Energon Mace has the power to remove half of Optimus Prime's visage, a testament to its incredible strength
