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 an army of Cybertronians to his cause and secure the allegiance of several characters, 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 redeeming quality was that he never discriminated against the various Cybertronian species. He is a bot created in the image and likeness of Megatronus Prime. He has also sworn to destroy his nemesis, Optimus Prime, and his Autobot followers at any cost as they continue their war on Earth. Oddly enough, despite Megatron's intolerance of defeat and betrayal, he believes Starscream should be spared and promoted to a high rank in his army, despite his failures, repeated betrayals, and undermining of Megatron's authority, as well as his constant regret at not having been killed sooner.

Following the final battle, during which Megatron was defeated by Bumblebee and subsequently revived under Unicron's control, the Decepticon leader endured a series of severe trials that significantly undermined his fighting ability. Freed from Unicron's influence and regaining control of his own body, Megatron decided to go into self-imposed exile. The motive for this move was not preparation for a new war, but the need to distance himself from past conflicts.

Personality
King, I'm a sucker
During the Golden Age of Cybertron, "Megatronus" (as Megatron named himself in honor of Megatronus Prime) was a bold, fearless, and renowned gladiator among other Cybertronians, fighting in Kaon. Megatron noticed the inequality of freedom among his race, the corrupt and all-powerful ruling class, and became a rhetorician in an effort to change this. While sketching other Cybertronians, Megatronus inspired a clerk in the Hall of Records named Orion Pax, and the two joined forces to end corruption and achieve equality for all. Orion and Megatronus developed a close friendship, almost like brothers. Before presenting his vision, Megatronus decided to shorten his name to "Megatron." The Autobot High Council, who had shown their true colors when he arrogantly demanded that the Council view violence as a necessary element of society, threatened to overthrow him unless he became the next Prime. However, Orion Pax did not believe in violence and convinced the Council of his rightness. His own jealousy and unfulfilled desires led Megatron to sever ties with the Council and his old friend Orion, causing them to side with his followers and wage war on Cybertron while Megatron searched for the Matrix of Leadership.

After returning from space travel
98
When Megatron returned to Earth to once again lead the Decepticons, he appeared before his subordinates with a new appearance: he wore gray armor with numerous pointed and rounded elements, almost completely enveloping his body. The cannon on his right arm became purple, as did the backs of his shins. The Decepticon emblem moved from the lower part of his body to the upper part.

After being revived by Unicron
Megatron 2.0.
Unicron's revival and subsequent modernization led to yet another significant change in appearance: in addition to a noticeable restructuring of his body and the disappearance of the cannon on his right arm, a small slit in the shape of a seven-pointed star appeared in place of the Decepticon insignia. The eyepieces and all glowing elements were tinted purple, and many areas of his body even took on a papaya hue. Furthermore, the number of pointed elements on Megatron's body increased. When Unicron's Anti-Spark particle was extracted from the Decepticon leader's body, his eyes returned to red.

Appearance
Before the first death
99
Megatron originally had a black and gray body and wore the Decepticon insignia on his lower chest. Immediately above it, as well as on his shoulders and arms, were red plates that provided additional armor. A rather long, black-painted cannon was mounted on Megatron's right arm, and his head was protected by a helmet. All illuminated elements of his body (except for the red eyepieces) were painted light purple.

After the first revival
590436558
After Megatron was crushed by Metroplex and then reassembled and revived by Soundwave, his armor became thicker, all the black parts of his body were removed (even his cannon was replaced with a gray one), and the red parts remained only on his forearms and small areas on the backs of his legs. The glowing spots became more numerous.
