Megatron

**Megatron** (メガトロン, *Megatoron*), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *Marvelous DC's* *Transformer Titans* series created by Sam Register and Bob Haney. He is the ruthless, manipulative and tyrannical leader of all the Decepticons.

He likes to think of himself as a freedom fighter, leading his troops to reclaim their home from the Autobots who exiled them after the Great War. Megatron demands loyalty from his forces as a whole, loyalty he gains through his fear, inspirable power and abilities.

This claim is somewhat undermined by his complete lack of concern for anyone not useful to him and his willingness to manhandle his own soldiers to remind them who's in charge or to field-test weapons of mass destruction on defenseless human cities.

"*With the power of the AllSpark, I will reclaim Cybertron for all Decepticon-kind - but not before I lay waste to the miserable world that held me captive for so long.*"

—Megatron, to Optimus Prime.

## History

### Past

Eons ago, Megatron was found by The Fallen in the Gladiator pits of Kaon and was taken in by him to become a worthy successor as Decepticon leader. The Fallen taught him to gave speeches and wrote manifestos calling for the Decepticons to rise up and take control of both Cybertron and the AllSpark from the Autobots. Finally, on the Cycle of Infamy, he and the Fallen took the Decepticons from mere rhetoric to outright war.

The Decepticons overran Autobot space, but the Autobots under Ultra Magnus had one major advantage—space bridge technology which allowed them to move about the galaxy more easily. The Decepticon advance ground to a halt. With the war going badly after this, Megatron tried a last-ditch attempt with the False Calm and sent the Decepticon troops at sub-light speeds to Cybertron. During the Battle for Iacon Megatron destroyed Gamma Supreme.

However, Megatron's forces continued to fight on until the Autobots sent the AllSpark through the space bridge to random coordinates. Ultimately the attack failed, their main leader was imprisoned in another dimension, and the Decepticons were finally forced to agree to an armistice and exile. Realizing that the AllSpark was the key to defeating the Autobots, Megatron abandoned the Cybertron theater and began searching the galaxy aboard his massive flagship the *Nemesis*.

However, Megatron continued to search for the AllSpark. Four million years later, the *Nemesis's* crew discovered a small Autobot repair vessel after detecting the AllSpark. When Starscream volunteered to attack, Megatron saw his ambitions all too clearly, and pointedly remarked that he wasn't about to let four million solar cycles of searching for the AllSpark end with Starscream "[laying his] greasy wings on it". No, Megatron would strike the Autobot ship and take the AllSpark himself.

Just prior to his departure, Starscream approached him again, ostensibly to wish him luck but actually to place an overload device on his leader's back. This device went off just as Megatron's fusion cannon was about to breach the hull of the Autobots' ship. The Autobot crew managed to steer the now-failing ship through an asteroid field and into a nearby space bridge.

With the ship now plummeting through the Earth's atmosphere, a wounded Megatron still managed to thrash the crew soundly and nearly claimed the AllSpark. Quick thinking on the part of the ship's captain sent the Decepticon leader out the cargo hatch and into free fall. Megatron fell from the sky and crashed in Paw Paw, Michigan, where his head (and later, a hand) was found by a young Isaac Sumdac.

Over the next fifty years, Sumdac built a robotics empire by reverse-engineering Megatron's components while Megatron's inert head remained secretly in Sumdac's private lab, the source of the human's engineering genius and also a secret shame. Megatron's severed hand was there as well, used by Sumdac as a piece of furniture.
