Milkiway Prime

When Megatron was possessed by Unicron, he simply wanted to continue his plans and rule alongside Unicron. Unicron rudely told Megatron that his body was now his and Megatron was just a shell, after which Megatron's personality shifted slightly, and he desired only one thing: to be free of the Bringer of Chaos. Megatron, to some extent, rooted for the Autobots during their battle with Unicron, despite the fact that Unicron had condemned him to eternal suffering. When Unicron fought Optimus Prime, Optimus tried to call out to Megatron, but Megatron was unable to do anything.

After his release, Megatron declared that he had truly understood the meaning of oppression after experiencing it himself and had lost all desire to inflict it on others, much to the surprise of Optimus, Starscream, and everyone else. Megatron declared the Decepticons no more and went into exile somewhere in the galaxy, a sign that he had learned his lesson from the entire ordeal. Optimus even suggested that somewhere deep down, Megatron was capable of change.

Throughout the series, Megatron was cunning, cruel, selfish, sadistic, and heartless. He was a highly skilled manipulator and possessed a gift for persuasion, which allowed him to recruit the Cybertronian army and secure the support of certain individuals, such as Dreadwing. Megatron strove for power and eliminated anyone who stood in his way, such as Silas, Airachnid, and Predaking. He also disliked retreating in combat, likely due to his time as a gladiator on Kaon. However, he could be somewhat tolerant, as evidenced by his lenient attitude toward Dreadwing's first attempt to avenge his brother Skyquake, but only toward those who were utterly loyal to him. He was also extremely prejudiced, viewing all life in the galaxy as inferior to Cybertronians, especially organisms like humans. His only virtue was that he never discriminated against the various Cybertronian species. He is a bot created in the image and likeness of Megatronus Prime. He also vowed to destroy his longtime enemy, Optimus Prime, and his Autobot followers at any cost while they continued their war on Earth. He has almost no sense of humor, and, as he stated in "War for Cybertron," his patience is wearing thin.

However, there were times when Megatron abandoned his own goals for the sake of a common cause, such as when he teamed up with Optimus and the Autobots against Unicron. However, he did so only to conquer Earth his way and prevent Unicron from taking it. On another rare occasion, Megatron considered giving Optimus the empty cylinder that originally contained the synthetic Energon formula. He even ordered his troops to hold fire to hear Prime's proposal, but then immediately gave the order to attack, ordering Breakdown and Knockout to bring him Bulkhead's head. Megatron even admits to Starscream that no one is perfect, not even himself, and that among the Decepticons, he values ​​loyalty above all else.

Appearance Original robot mode Megatron was a large Cybertronian, a head taller than Optimus Prime. He had large feet with three claw-like toes: two in front and one on the heel. His toes had sharp nails at the tips. His skin was silver, with a dark purple underneath. His eyes were originally blue, but turned red when the Cybertronian High Council denied him the right to leadership, and Orion Pax "stole" that opportunity from him. Out of rage and immense contempt, his optics took on a blood-red hue. He has a rather long and flat head, which Bulkhead often refers to as "bucket-shaped." Two blade-like plates are located on each side of his cheeks. His face is marked by scars and a sinister smile. On his shoulders are two spiked plates. In his right hand was a powerful thermonuclear cannon, as well as a long blade he'd used repeatedly since his gladiatorial career. On his chest was a Decepticon emblem that glowed purple whenever his Dark Energon vibrated.

Cybertronian Jet Mode: Due to Megatron's disrespect for humanity, he considered using their vehicles for transformation a betrayal and used something similar to a Cybertronian jet engine. As a result, Megatron's legs transformed into wings, and a fusion cannon appeared on top. Interestingly, Megatron can fire from his wings, not his fusion cannon.

Improved body After his death at Bumblebee's hands, the Dark Energy coursing through his veins led him to become linked to the Bringer of Chaos, Unicron himself. Still possessing the blood of absolute evil, Unicron used Megatron's limited "shell" as a weapon of destruction. Now, the former Decepticon leader has grown even larger (both literally and figuratively), becoming the tallest of all Cybertronians. A new upgrade has resulted in several spikes appearing on his knees, forearms, shoulders, chest, and head. His fingers have also become longer.

Appearance As a child, he was a small Cybertronian. His body was gray with a hint of blue, with gold accents, shoulder pads with sharp, elongated, and curved sections, and neon-blue glowing details on some parts of his body. He had jet-powered, dual antigravity wings on his back. His optics were entirely blue with white pupils, elongated into one corner of a horizontal rectangle. His body had both sharp and rounded shapes. He had sharp shoulder pads matching his body color, converging into a light blue diamond shape on the top of his chest. His helmet had the same long diamond-shaped crest, with the same gold interior and black exterior. Gray, blue-tinted helmet details extend onto his cheeks. The top ends of his helmet also had thick black stripes with sharp sections at the ends that pointed upward. As an adult, his body became stronger, more massive, and more durable. He was taller than Megatron, nearly 13 meters.

Personality and character Genius-level intellect. Milkyway inherited not only strength but also a keen mind: he is capable of analyzing combat scenarios in real time, calculating enemy moves several steps ahead, and quickly deciphering ancient Cybertronian codes and protocols. His thinking is a blend of strategic calculation and intuitive understanding of others' motives. He often constructs "psychological maps" of his opponents: not simply assessing their strength, but trying to understand what drives them.

First major goal: confronting the Neutrobots When Milkyway learned that the Neutrobots were led by a former student of Optimus Prime who had murdered his teacher, it became more than just a political fact—it was a personal challenge. He realized that the struggle was not for resources or territory, but for the very essence of what it means to be a Prime: the ideals of unity, protection, and responsibility.

It was then that he finally formulated his mission: the Astrocons must become a shield that will prevent the darkness born of betrayal and lust for power from consuming the galaxy.

And now, as the threat of the Quintessons and Neutrobots grew ever more tangible, Milkyway was ready to meet it not as a lone exile, but as the leader of a faction that combined discipline and the desire to create, strength and responsibility.

The Birth of the Astrocons Gradually, those who shared Milkyway's views began to gather around him: not all were warriors, not all wanted to fight, but all wanted the galaxy to once again have a place where they could live without fear. Among them were engineers, scientists, former pilots, even a few former soldiers tired of senseless wars.

He didn't proclaim himself a leader. He simply set goals, shared knowledge, and taught how to use force not to suppress, but to protect. And over time, these people began calling themselves Astrocons—in honor of his passion for the stars and his desire to connect disparate worlds into a unified security network.

The name stuck after one of the first major clashes. Neutrobots attempted to seize a station where Astrocons were helping restore the power grid. Milkyway used his abilities to their full potential for the first time: he used magnetic fields to deflect enemy projectiles, manipulated debris to create temporary barriers, and simultaneously coordinated the defense, distributing forces to minimize losses.

When the battle was over, one of his comrades, an old engineer named Vex, looked at him and quietly said, "We didn't just fight back. We defended what we built. We are Astrocons. Because we look not only to the battlefield, but to the stars beyond."

First steps alone The first cycles after leaving Megatron were harder than Milkiway cared to admit. The habit of relying on strict rules and clear orders, ingrained in his training, clashed with the need to make his own decisions. He constantly found himself wondering, "What would my father have done?" or "What would Megatron say?"—and only then did he realize the answer had to be his own.

His journey began small: he responded to distress calls, helped colonies fight off pirates, repaired power systems, and restored archives. And every time he saw the locals once again gaze at the stars in peace after his departure, his confidence grew stronger: he was on the right path.

One day, at a border station, he encountered a group of refugees fleeing Neutrobot raids. They were frightened, confused, and unsure of their next move. Milkyway didn't promise them the impossible. Instead, he helped them organize a caravan, plotted a safe route, and provided maps and coordinates for safe sectors. As he was about to leave, one of the refugees, a young Cybertronian, grabbed his arm and asked, "Will you come with us? We need someone who knows where to go."

From student to leader When Milkyway felt ready, he left the planet. Megatron made no attempt to stop him. His parting words were more respectful than encouraging: "You've learned to fight. Now prove you know what it's all about."

Founding of the faction The day Milkyway left the planet where Megatron had found and trained him was unusually calm—as if the deserted land itself had momentarily held its breath. He offered no pompous farewells or attempts to prove his strength. Instead, he approached Megatron and simply said, "I've learned to survive and fight. Now I must learn to protect."

Megatron's Teachings Under Megatron's tutelage, Milkyway underwent a rigorous training in survival and combat. This wasn't just training—it was a test of every conviction he'd inherited from his father.

Tactics and calculation. Megatron taught him to see the battlefield like a chessboard: every step must have a purpose, every movement a consequence. He forced Milkyway to calculate his options, to learn to read the enemy's weaknesses not only in armor but also in behavior.

Exploiting the Environment. On a desert planet where every piece of debris could become a weapon, Milkyway learned to turn ruins to his advantage. It was here that his innate magnetic ability blossomed: he began using metallic debris as projectiles, shields, and traps, manipulating them with the precision he'd honed over weeks.

Controlling Rage. Megatron knew the pain of loss could either break or forge. He didn't allow Milkyway to hide his rage—he taught him to channel it. "Anger is fuel," he said. "But if you let it burn you from the inside, you'll become useless."

Independence. Unlike many commanders, Megatron rarely interfered with Milkiway's decisions during exercises. He assigned tasks and observed how he handled them, sometimes deliberately creating situations where there was no "right" choice—only consequences.

When his ship's sensors detected an anomalous energy signature, Megatron didn't expect to find anyone special. But when he saw Milkyway—wounded but unbroken, with the Primes' mark imprinted in the very structure of his hull and in his demeanor—something more than mere curiosity awoke within him. He saw in this young Transformer not an enemy, not a tool, but a challenge: could he transform someone raised on the ideals of unity and creation into a true warrior, capable of surviving in a harsh reality?

Megatron didn't force his views. Instead, he offered a deal: "You will learn to fight to survive. And when you're ready, you will decide what to fight for next."

He climbed out, barely hanging on by servos. The planet greeted him with an icy wind and endless sands strewn with the wreckage of ancient machinery—as if the very earth here were a graveyard of forgotten civilizations. At that moment, Milkyway thought neither of glory nor of revenge. He simply wanted to survive, so that one day he could return to what his father had sacrificed himself for.

That's when Megatron found him.

Meeting Megatron Megatron didn't come to this planet to search. After losing the war with the Autobots, he went into exile, taking with him those who remained loyal to him, searching for a place to regroup, recuperate, and redefine what it means to be a leader in a changed galaxy. This desolate planet was perfect: no Autobots, no curious Quintessons, only silence and ruins from which to draw inspiration for new strength.

On that fateful day, Milkyway, aged five or six, found himself at his father's side as a hail of fire descended upon them. The Thirteenth Prime, seeing the odds stacked against him, made the only decision he could: he activated the emergency mechanism and literally ejected his son from the planet, sending him into outer space in a protected capsule. The last thing Milkyway saw through the porthole was his father, not retreating an inch, taking the brunt of the blow to give his son a chance at survival. There was a flash, a roar, and the connection was lost. The Thirteenth Prime fell defending what he believed in.

After the capsule crash When Milkyway's capsule finally emerged from its chaotic drift and crashed onto the surface of the desolate planet, its systems were barely holding together. The capsule's hull had melted from atmospheric entry, its power cells were showing critical levels, and its internal protocols were barely able to maintain stasis. Milkyway awoke in semi-darkness, amid sparking panels and the smell of superheated metal. He didn't know how many cycles he'd spent unconscious, but the first thing he felt wasn't pain—it was the emptiness of losing his father.

The beginning of the journey Milkyway Prime is the son of the Thirteenth Prime, born in turbulent times when New Cybertron was struggling to recover from the Great Autobot-Decepticon War. The Age of Primes was long gone, and only legends, the ruins of ancient cities, and painful memories remained of its former glory. A fragile, almost painful, silence reigned on Cybertron: the Autobots and Decepticons no longer waged large-scale battles, but the tension remained. Society had fragmented into small factions, each clinging to its own ideals, sometimes forgetting about unity.

From an early age, Milkyway absorbed his father's wisdom. The Thirteenth Prime did not seek power or glory—he wanted to preserve Cybertron's knowledge and culture so that civilization could one day be reborn. He taught his son to see strength not in destruction, but in creation, in the ability to unite rather than divide. Milkyway grew up inquisitive and sensitive, with a passion for the stars: he was fascinated by space maps and stories of distant planets where, perhaps, Cybertronians could begin anew.

But the peace they so strove for proved too fragile. A new wave of conflict erupted over control of the last energon sources and ancient archives. Factions that had previously merely argued now took up arms. The Thirteenth Prime attempted to mediate, hoping to prevent further carnage. His voice echoed from a bygone era—wise, calm, but, alas, too quiet amid the roar of cannons.

Transformers: New Era

Capabilities A talent for combat. Although Milkyway prefers to avoid violence, he is an experienced and dangerous fighter. His style is a combination of discipline and improvisation: he knows how to exploit the environment, the enemy's weaknesses, and even his own abilities to minimize destruction. He maintains his composure in combat, but if he sees an enemy threatening the defenseless, he becomes merciless.

Magnetism. This ability has become his signature move. Milkyway can create localized magnetic fields of varying strengths: attracting and repelling metal objects, temporarily immobilizing opponents, ripping off their weapons, or forming magnetic shields that deflect projectiles. In space, he uses this power to manipulate debris, create barriers, and even correct flight paths.

A combination of gentleness and firmness. He strives to remain calm and seek peaceful solutions, but doesn't hesitate when it's necessary to act harshly. For him, it's not just about winning, but ensuring that after the battle, something remains that can be rebuilt.

The weight of legacy. Being the son of a Prime isn't a source of pride for him, but a responsibility. He doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past: neither blind faith in power, nor naive trust in those who say the right things but act differently.
