Origin and Backstory
According to one version, Megatron began his career on Cybertron as a gladiator, naming himself after one of the Thirteen Primes, Megatronus. At that time, he was an ally and even a friend of the future Optimus Prime (then known as Orion Pax), the planet's archivist. However, over time, power corrupted Megatron, and he became obsessed with world domination.
ru.wikipedia.org*
transformers.fandom.com
When Cybertron's resources were depleted, the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, abandoned the planet in search of new energy. Megatron followed them on his cruiser, the Nemesis, but the ships were caught in a meteor shower and crashed on prehistoric Earth. The Decepticons remained dormant for four million years until Megatron awakened in 1984.

Character and Motives
Megatron is a complex and multifaceted character. On the one hand, he is intelligent, insightful, and a talented strategist who knows how to exploit the weaknesses of both enemies and subordinates. He is demanding, does not tolerate objections, and harshly punishes disobedience. On the other hand, he is alien to mercy and compassion. His main goal is to establish his dominance first on Cybertron, and then throughout the universe, believing that Transformers are a superior race that should rule over all others. He views humans as an inferior life form and is willing to destroy humanity if necessary to achieve the Decepticons' goals.

History
During the attack on Autobot City in 2005, Megatron was mortally wounded in a duel with Optimus Prime. The retreating Decepticons took him with them on their ship, but due to overload, the vessel had to be abandoned. The brawler, who had long dreamed of overthrowing Megatron, took advantage of the moment and threw him and the other wounded into outer space.

Megatron's body was caught in the gravitational pull of Unicron, a super-giant, sinister Transformer. Unicron offered him a deal: salvation in exchange for service. At first, Megatron refused, but faced with certain death, he agreed. Unicron reformatted him, re-armed him, and renamed him Galvatron. He formed the remaining Decepticons into the new leader's personal guard: Cyclonus, Whiplash, and the Sweeps.

Optimus Prime. Before the Great War, he was known as Orion Pax. He worked as an Iaconian archivist and was Alpha Trion's apprentice. One day, he trusted Megatron and showed him the Autobot energy storage facility, but Megatron treacherously seized it. Orion, his friend Dion, and his lover Elita-1 were gravely wounded. They were rescued by Aerialbots arriving from the future and taken to Alpha Trion's workshop. The wise Transformer reconstructed Orion, and thus Optimus Prime was born. He became the undisputed leader of the Autobots, the bearer of the Matrix of Leadership, which preserves the wisdom of many generations. During the centuries-long war, when Cybertron's resources were depleted, Prime assembled a team and set out in search of new energy sources. During the flight, the Decepticons attacked their ship, the Ark. A skirmish ensued, the ship lost control, and crashed to Earth. The Autobots and Decepticons were left comatose for 4 million years. Awakening in 1984, they discovered life on Earth, and Prime took it upon himself to protect it. During the battle in Autobot City in 2005, he was gravely wounded in a duel with Megatron and died, passing the Matrix to his friend Ultra Magnus. Later, there were other trials: for example, the Quintessons resurrected him as a zombie, but he managed to control himself and committed suicide by flying the ship into the sun.
