**Garfield "Megatron" Stein** is a player character in the *Digimon: Emblem Story* continuity of Nat19. He is an Emblem Bearer, and the partner of CommanDramon. He is portrayed by *Matthew Kok*.

## Personality

Having felt a sense of inferiority throughout his life, Garfield became a chronic liar, telling lies to others even when they are almost immediately contradicted and/or do not benefit him in any way. However his time in the Digital World has begun to change him considerably; he is much more concerned about the well-being and opinions of his friends and partner, though he is still willing to tease them from time to time. While he acts arrogantly as CommanDramon's "General" he genuinely respects his Digimon partner, though there are times where he wishes that he wasn't so forthright with people.

## Relationships & Affiliations

### CommanDramon

While he initially was willing to use the fact that he was CommanDramon's "General" to lord over others Garfield also felt quite insecure about the level of faith his Digimon placed in him. Over time though with his own growth in confidence Garfield was able to feel more secure about his relationship with him, and has encouraged his partner to treat him more like a friend than a superior officer.

### Hunter Williams

While the two of them can argue and bicker at times Garfield genuinely sees Hunter as a friend, albeit a friend who is more than willing to have fun at his expense.

### Paige Humbleson

Though Garfield was initially willing to use Paige's story as a way to make himself seem more unique, Garfield is a close friend of hers and is more than willing to risk himself to rescue her.
