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.

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.

Throughout the series, Megatron was cunning, cruel, selfish, sadistic, and heartless. He was a highly skilled manipulator and persuader, able to recruit an army of Cybertronians to his cause and secure the support of several individuals, such as Dreadwing. Megatron sought only power and eliminated anyone who stood in his way, such as Silas, Airaknid, 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 his 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.

Personality The Idiot King During the Golden Age of Cybertron, "Megatronus" (as Megatron named himself in honor of Megatronus Prime) was a bold, fearless, and renowned gladiator of Kaon among other Cybertronians. Megatron noticed the disparity in freedom between the classes of his race, as well as the fact that the ruling class was corrupt and all-powerful. Megatron became a rhetorician, seeking to change this. Recruiting other Cybertronians to his cause, Megatron inspired a Hall of Records employee named Orion Pax, and the two joined forces to end corruption and achieve equality for all. Orion and Megatron developed a close friendship, almost like brothers. Megatronus found it necessary to shorten his name to "Megatron" before presenting his vision to the Autobot High Council, which revealed his true nature. He arrogantly demanded that the Council recognize violence as a necessary element of society, threatened to overthrow them, and declared his desire to become the next Prime. However, Orion Pax did not believe in violence and convinced the Council of his rightness. His own jealousy and unfulfilled desires drove Megatron to sever ties with the Council and his old friend Orion, causing them to side with his followers and start a war on Cybertron. An enraged Megatron set out in search of the Matrix of Leadership.
