💜Megatron💜 (TFP)

Smart, ruthless and purposeful. A very experienced and strong warrior, one of the strongest transformers in general. He evaluates his close associates primarily from the point of view of the benefit that one or another of them can bring to the Decepticon cause. He hates traitors, but "public interests" are much more important to him than personal feelings.

Alt-form: originally a Cybertronian tank, then a Cybertronian starship. Unlike all other transformers, Megatron did not modify his technoform to match the Earth's, as a sign of disdain for the "primitive" technology of the earthlings; however, he does not really need this, since after his return he is almost constantly on the ship, controlling his army from the command center; Weapons: a thermonuclear cannon on his right arm; the cannon's barrel ends in a retractable, sharp, durable and fairly long "visor", allowing it to serve as a melee weapon. In hand-to-hand combat, Megatron also uses a blade built into the same arm; Special abilities: systematically consumes dark energon, which allows him to increase his strength many times over, quickly recover from damage, and command the Terrorcons.

When Megatron returned to Earth to lead the Decepticons again, he appeared before his subordinates in a new appearance: he had gray armor with many pointed and rounded elements, almost completely enveloping the body, the gun on his right arm became purple, as did the back of his shins. The Decepticon emblem moved from the lower part of the body to the upper one.

On Cybertron, Megatron took the alt-form of a tank moving on an air cushion, the role of the barrel of which was a cannon, which the Decepticon leader wore on his hand in robot mode. After Soundwave's rebuilding, this alt-mode was preserved, although it began to look different due to the change in Megatron's appearance. After space travel, Megatron began to transform into a starship with four engines. As a weapon, he used the same cannon, but two blasters were added to it, built into the front of the aircraft, which the Decepticon leader could not use in his main form. In close combat, the newly updated Megatron used a long blade extending from under the cannon on his right hand.

When Unicron had flown far enough away from Earth, he activated faster-than-light cosmic speed, which impressed Megatron. The God of Chaos stated that this was one of the many improvements to the Decepticon leader's new body, so that they could reach Cybertron in the shortest possible time. Megatron asked if this meant that they would rule the planet together, to which Unicron hit him with eye beams and replied that he had only gone to Cybertron to destroy the Spark of Primus, and that the Decepticon would not rule over anything. The latter attempted to object, pointing out that its destruction would entail the death of the entire planet, to which Unicron stated that this was exactly what he was aiming for, since the death of his main opponent would mark the beginning of an era of chaos.[2]

After his death, Megatron was unable to reunite with the All-Spark, as the Dark Energon that once flowed through his veins linked the Decepticon leader to Unicron's Anti-Spark. When the latter sensed Primus' awakening, he entered Megatron's mind and called out to him. Megatron was surprised to hear Unicron's voice, as he believed him to be dead, but the giant explained that his physical form was actually asleep. The Decepticon leader was even more surprised to learn that the Autobots had managed to revive Cybertron after all. Unicron promised to revive Megatron, but only on the condition that the Decepticon would obey him completely. Megatron expressed hope that they would rule Cybertron together, but the Devourer of Worlds abruptly cut him off, stating that he, Megatron, would rule nothing - his body would merely serve as a vessel for the Anti-Spark and deliver it to Cybertron so that Unicron could destroy it and plunge the universe into chaos. Then, without even asking his own permission to do so, the God of Chaos forced life back into Megatron's corpse, which was resting at the bottom of the Earth's ocean, after which he reformatted it and added many improvements. The reborn Decepticon leader, completely under the control of his resurrector, transformed into a starship, broke out of the thickness of the water and went straight into space.[2]

Using the Omega Lock, Megatron built a fortress called Darkmount (which was an exact replica of the "original" Darkmount on Cybertron) near Jasper and the Autobot base. After the destruction of the latter, the Decepticon Lord sent his subordinates to it to retrieve the bodies of the Autobots from the rubble, but instead they found various artifacts and other things: for example, a stasis pod with Airachnid inside and the hammer of Solus Prime. Since the corpses of the opponents were never found, Megatron came to the conclusion that they were alive and organized a search for them, while at the same time sending Knockout and a large group of Vehicons to Cybertron, instructing them to retrieve the artifacts taken from the Autobots during the battle for the Omega Lock and deliver them to Darkmount. The Decepticons completed their master's mission and also brought with them Shockwave, who had previously been thought to be dead.[14]

In the second season, having learned from Prime the location of Cybertronian artifacts, the leader of the Decepticons sets his goal to take possession of them at any cost, ahead of the Autobots.

By the time the events of the series begin, Megatron has been missing for three years, wandering somewhere in the universe; in his absence, his first mate Starscream has been acting as commander-in-chief. He secretly hoped that this would continue, but his hopes were dashed when Soundwave received a signal of Megatron's return.

Returning to his soldiers, the Decepticon Lord is still filled with hatred for the Autobots, and intends to finish them off once and for all. To do this, he plans to use Dark Energon to resurrect all the fallen Decepticons on Cybertron, turning them into Terrorcons, and then transport the hordes of living robotic corpses to Earth. However, the Autobots blew up the space bridge before Megatron could complete his plan. Megatron himself disappeared during the explosion; he was believed to be dead, but in reality he was only seriously injured. Found in space and taken to the Nemesis, the Decepticon leader remained in stasis for a long time, which almost became eternal due to Starscream's fault. However, the day came when Megatron rose again (thanks to Bumblebee, who, albeit unwittingly, resurrected him with Dark Energon). Having returned to life, the Lord immediately restored order among his subordinates, reminding everyone “who is boss”[13]. At the end of the first season, Megatron temporarily teamed up with the Autobots to fight Unicron.

Megatron's ambitious plans were ruined. Having gathered around him many Cybertronians loyal to him, among whom Soundwave, Starscream and Shockwave were especially famous, Megatron decided to go to war against all those who sided with Orion Pax (who by then had received the name "Optimus Prime") and find the Matrix of Leadership, wherever it was. The movement led by him was called "Decepticons"[12].

Having won the right to speak before Cybertron's governing body, the High Council, Megatron presented his vision of the ideal social structure of the planet to its members, proposing to violently overthrow the old order and force all dissenters into obedience. However, Orion Pax, who did not believe that justice could be achieved through violence, gave a speech in which he called on all Cybertronians to elect a new Prime who would unite the people of the planet and achieve a better life for them without spilling energon and sacrifices. The members of the High Council, impressed by these words, came to the conclusion that Orion was worthy of the title of Prime, but he could rightfully bear this title only when he found the legendary artifact - the Matrix of Leadership, which would mark the beginning of a new era in the life of Cybertronians. The humiliated Megatron perceived this decision as a betrayal on the part of Orion, believing that he only wanted to gain power under the guise of pacifist ideas. He took the transformers loyal to him with him and left the hall, having previously said goodbye to his former friend, in order to meet him again as an enemy[11].

Megatron was once a simple miner-demolitionist and had the code name "D-16". According to his own words, he received this nickname in connection with the name of the mine where he worked. One day he ended up in the so-called "gladiator pit" - a place where transformers fought among themselves for the amusement of the public. In his very first fight, Megatron was able to emerge victorious. Thus began his career as a gladiator[11]. He took the name "Megatronus" - in honor of one of the Thirteen Primes, who was expelled by his brothers. Being the most successful gladiator, Megatronus did not lose a single battle, and thus gained fame and recognition. However, he increasingly noticed the corruption of the authorities, the injustice of the upper class of transformers in relation to the lower and failed system that reigned on the planet. He met an archivist named Orion pax, who had similar views. Together with him, Megatronus began the fight for freedom and justice. They gathered many supporters around them. When it was time to leave the gladiator arena to ascend to the political arena, Megatronus shortened his name and began to be called Megatron
