Megatron
Peace through tyranny.

Love, compassion, mercy are words that have no meaning for Megatron. He has risen to the leadership of the Decepticons by a combination of brute strength, military cunning, ruthlessness, and terror. On Cybertron he was commanding general in charge of all military operations against the Autobots, who referred to him as "The Slag-Maker." It was a title of fear. A title of respect. A title Megatron relished. His banishment to Earth has only made him more bitter and more evil-minded, if that is possible. He aches to return to Cybertron and complete his mission of eradicating the Autobots. But while on Earth he is dedicated to eliminating those Autobots marooned here with him - and his plans go far beyond that. He realizes the Earth is one huge stockpile of metal and fuel resources and means to possess it all, with the aid of his fellow Decepticons. But his plans go even further, plans so grandiose even his fellow Decepticons are unaware: Megatron intends to enslave the entire human race. He allows no exceptions to his motto.

Megatron is incredibly powerful and intelligent, the equal of Autobot Leader Optimus Prime. His fusion cannon can convert any small amount of matter into large quantities of explosive nuclear energy. The cannon can fire a blast up to 12 miles and release enough energy to flatten a small town. Megatron can use his internal circuitry to connect the cannon interdimensionally with a black hole, where it can draw on anti-matter as its power source. The blast from this is far greater, but it creates a tremendous strain on Megatron to do this for even one blast. Besides his signature arm-mounted fusion cannon, Megatron also has access to an energy mace, a sword, a high-density infrared laser cannon, a "Particle Beam Cannon" weapons emplacement, and a "Telescopic Laser Cannon" that he uses as an over-the-shoulder array.

Megatron has no known weaknesses.

Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:[]

Main article: Megatron/Cartoon continuity
Megaone

I belong to nobody! Well . . . maybe him . . . for now!

Megatron was born out of Decepticon science millions of years ago. Learning the secrets behind the transformation capabilities of the Autobots, they combined their own breakthrough of anti-gravity to create Megatron, the first of a new breed of Decepticons capable of flight in their robot modes. In addition to these abilities, he was given extraordinary firepower, becoming in essence a walking cannon. However, circumstances forced him first into like as a miner, and then a gladiator. Combined with great intelligence and a sense of charisma, he quickly used these abilities and experiences to rise as the sole leader of the Decepticon forces in a very short time. Armed with this new position and his legions of followers, he set out to begin the conquest of Cybertron, and after that, the galaxy.

Megatron would likely have succeeded in this quest if not for a side effect of his cutting a path of destruction across Cybertron: the wounding of Orion Pax. Rebuilt by Alpha Trion, he rose again as Optimus Prime, a warrior who was more than a match against Megatron and his power. Faced with an adversary of Prime's skill, Megatron's conquest was slowed, and eventually the two sides dug in leading to the war that rages to this day. Robbing Cybertron of its once rich sources of energy, the planet slowly began to become a dead hulk, forcing the Autobots to seek out more sources of energy. Unknown to them, Megatron was aware of their plan, and followed their starship with one of his own. Fighting in space, the Decepticons boarded the Ark and with the Autobots were entombed in Mount St. Hilary when the ship crashed there on Earth.

MTMtE Part3 ExtinctiontoallTraitors

A release of lubricant is quite common when seeing this.

4 million years later, the Decepticons arose, and unfortunately for them, so did the Autobots. Megatron wasted no time beginning his energy raids on Earth, threatening the human race in the process. The Autobots swore not to let this happen, and the war resumed, with Earth as the new battleground. It rages to this day, and Megatron continues to seek the conquest of Earth and its energy so that he can return to Cybertron to complete its conquest, and with two planets under his thumb, the rest of the galaxy.

MUX History:[]

Everything is fodder.
Megatron Telescopic Laser Cannon

Telescopic Laser Cannon

Megatron has not only been faced with opposition from the Autobots, but from G.I. Joe, the United States' top military organization. Because of this, he has often allied himself with Cobra, a group that seeks conquest of the Earth, to deal with them. Perhaps they realize it, perhaps they don't, but Megatron wants Earth for himself, and it can be assured that Cobra is not going to have a place in it. But for a while, if he could use them to meet his goal, then they are a tool like any other in his optics. However, eventually the clash between the egos of Cobra Commander and Megatron led to the dissolution of their alliance, and Cobra actively worked against the Decepticons during the Great Flood of 2011.

In January of 2000, Megatron threatened to make Nightbird his Conjunx Endura, although whether he was serious or just trying to annoy Starscream wasn't clear.

In 2004, the Decepticon army, including Trypticon, marched against the Autobots in Nevada. Metroplex returned fire, but was forced to retreat by the collective firepower of Trypticon and the Decepticon combined robot teams. Optimus Prime was beaten severely by Megatron and Starscream, and the Autobots fled the US.

During the Mindswap TP, which Starscream unintentionally triggered, Megatron and Starscream unexpectedly swapped bodies. Acting quickly, Starscream used Megatron's stronger body to trap him in his cloaked satellite. While in possession of Megatron's body, Starscream ran the Decepticon Empire for the length of the TP, while Megatron remained trapped in Starscream's body and satellite. When the Mindswap effect suddenly ended. Starscream found himself back in his body and at Megatron's mercy. Megatron's punishment was harsh and lasting, and it took Starscream many months to recover, during which time Valour temporarily commanded Aerospace and acted as Megatron's XO.

In 2011, Megatron melted the icecaps and flooded the world. Ultimately a combined force of Autobots, Cobra, and G.I. Joe destroyed the Decepticon installations at the North and South Poles, restoring the Earth's climate.

Fusion Cannon

Megatron's fusion cannon

In July of 2012 Megatron disappeared for several months, during which Starscream took over the Decepticons. Nemesis began construction of a Galvatron clone to inhabit in case he needed to take over the Decepticons. However, Megatron's return in 2013 made this contingency plan unnecessary. In the wake of the Quintesson invasion and the return of Shockwave, Megatron restored Cyclonus as Intel Commander and arrested Starscream in his place, naming Illarion the new Decepticon Air Commander. Megatron also named Shockwave to AI leader, Military Operations Commander, and Guardian of Cybertron.

In March of 2014, the Decepticon Windshear travelled to Peru to collect remaining shards of the Crystal of Power. Luisa received reports on Windshear's presence, and called in Optimus Prime to help. Confronted there by Optimus Prime, Windshear stood his ground, and was soon backed up by Megatron, who arrived in the Dictator. Megatron was defeated by Optimus Prime, but not before Windshear had time to gather many shards of the Crystal of Power. Windshear returned with Megatron to base, and Luisa gave Optimus Prime several shards of the Crystal that her students had recovered, so the Autobots could study and ascertain what the Decepticons were after.

After Megatron recovered from his battle with Optimus Prime, he traveled to the Canadian base of the Cult of Galvatron to investigate the situation personally. In June he led a successful energy raid against Niagara Falls, and a mission to liberate nuclear fuel rods from the Bruce Power Station in Canada.

In July Megatron did battle with the Cult of Galvatron, personally killing cult leader Obsidian and dealing the final blow that toppled Super Galvatron. However, in August Megatron contracted the Arkeville virus, trapping him in his handgun mode, and subsequently disappeared, leaving Illarion in charge of the Decepticons.

In 2014, Megatron and Nemesis hatched a plan to use the clone to draw out the remains of the Cult of Galvatron, as well as test the loyalty of Megatron's troops. During a staged fight, the clone of Galvatron destroyed a clone of Megatron, claiming new leadership of the Decepticons. However, the Decepticons united under Starscream to oppose "Galvatron", and vowed to bring Megatron back to life. Starscream made good on his claim, building a new Megatron and seemingly bringing it to life. Megatron switched places with this "New Megatron," assuming command of the Decepticons once more.

In 2015, "Galvatron" and Megatron met in battle in the skies over Polyhex. "Galvatron" was killed, but not before activating a beam that reformed Polyhex into an alien city reminiscent of Unicron.

After Megatron killed "Galvatron," Knightmare ventured to New Polyhex, and challenged Megatron, claiming that his "death" at "Galvatron"'s hands had disproven his immortal power. The two battled, and Knightmare was able to get the upper hand before Starscream intervened on Megatron's behalf. Enraged by Starscream's interference, Knightmare called the other Dominicons to her and formed Dominicus for the first time. Determined to reassert his power, Megatron transformed into pistol mode and blew the new combiner apart. Knightmare and the other Dominicons were captured and brought in for repairs, but Knightmare remained seething with rage at both Megatron and Starscream. The Dominicons subsequently escaped and struck off on their own, turning their backs on the Decepticons forever.

In 2016, when Cybertron threatened to tear itself apart, Megatron revealed himself and ordered Cybertron's civilians not to flee the doomed planet. Megatron then discussed with Shockwave and Starscream the possibility of obtaining information from Vector Sigma about how best to save Cybertron. Shockwave expressed curiosity, wishing to gather more data in able to make better decisions. Starscream advised caution, citing warnings given by Vector Sigma last time Starscream sought its help. As usual, Megatron ignored Starscream's warnings and vowed to move ahead with his plans.

In 2017, Megatron met Nemesis in a cavern beneath Kalis, where together they plotted to finish an old plan of Megatron's that was started but abandoned -- the construction of giant fusion reactor and massive propulsion engines to move Cybertron towards a dying star, thus fulfilling part of Vector Sigma's prophesy. Nemesis vowed to complete the project at once with the assistance of the Constructicons. Megatron successfully moved Cybertron, and threatened Optimus Prime with Cybertron's existence if he didn't surrender. Optimus Prime called him out to the battlefield, and Megatron joined him. Prime then defeated him in combat, leaving him to be brought back to Tarn by DreadTread and Rainmaker.

In 2018, the Ark was attacked by a group of Decepticons led by Megatron. The Decepticons were driven back by Autobots commanded by Optimus Prime.

Primus Pilus

Primus Pilus Megatron

During a fight with Optimus Prime in orbit over Cybertron, Megatron fell into a warp gate and emerged in the Hub, where he was rebuilt by Liege Maximo into Primus Pilus.

In 2023, Megatron renounces his title as Primus Pilus of the Cybertronian Empire and once again proclaimed himself his own Emperor of Destruction. He later battled his sister Ghost, now Veritas Prime, in Los Angeles on Earth, for possession of the Matrix. In March, Megatron freed Nightbird during her transit to Garrus-2.

Apr 06 - General Status[]

<< The screen flickers on and there is Megatron once again, reporting from the Commander Center of Trypticon. >>

I have delayed this report for long enough now. I wished to learn the status of our Earth operations before I informed you all of the Cybertron operations. The fight for Cybertron is slow; it is not going near as quickly as I wished. We need to collect more energon so that we may put more pressure on the Autobots and take back Cybertron once more. At our current rate of progress, it will take years to reclaim Cybertron. I wish to make this months, so we must increase energon raids. Air Commodore Cyclonus and Brigadier Shockwave have been left in charge of the Cybertron war effort.

Governor Valour, you will continue your current duties as city commander and governor of Trypticon, as well as take back your duties as Aerospace Commander. As for becoming my executive officer, we will discuss that in person over the coming days.

Colonel Harbinger, continue work on the Luminous weapon. After the Intelligence reports I received earlier we may need such a weapon soon. Do whatever you need to do to double your efforts, you have my full support on this project. Do not make me regret it.

As for the rest of you. Report to your division commanders for your assignments. Each division commander has received a separate report. Megatron out!

<< The screen flicks back to the spinny Decepticon logo. >>

Apr 14 - Returning Decepticons[]

<< Once more Megatron appears on the screen. However, this time he is in the War Room. >>

Decepticons, the battle on Cybertron is going well. Due to this fact, I have ordered Starscream, Soundwave and the cassettes back to Earth to help with our war effort here. Lt General Soundwave will resume his role as the Intelligence CO the moment he returns. Air Commodore Starscream will take the role of Aerospace XO for now. Governor Valour will continue to be the CO of Aerospace until Air Commodore Starscream is brought up to speed. They will be arriving in a few days. Be prepared for their return!

September 23 - Additional orders[]


<Megatron appears on screen laying on a medbed in the repair bay. He looks pretty worse for wear, but obvious signs of heavy repairs having been completed on him.>

Decepticons, the time for worrying about public opinion is over. Last night, the Autobots dared to interfere with our attempt to build a landing site for the space cruiser at O'Hare, and in the process, humiliated me on their live television. Now they shall pay for their insolence! <A fist slams into the medbed as he says this.>

Effective immediately, energy raids on any and all human targets are authorized. Scrape every last nugget of coal from their mines! Drain their oil fields! Drain their gas fields! I want every last DROP of energy this planet has to offer! There will be no more concern for collateral damage, no more concern for public opinion. What the earthquakes and volcanoes do not destroy, WE WILL!! This minor setback will not interfere with our plans. Energy collection will continue until we have completely drained this planet! Megatron OUT! <The screen fades to black, and the Decepticon symbol re-appears>

September 25 - "The Space Cruiser Lands"[]

September 25 - The Duel That Wasn't[]

The Aerialbots have confronted Megatron as Superion, but a blast from Megatron's antimatter cannon put the Autobot gestalt down for the count. Hummer has responded and, as he arrives on scene, decides to do something very foolish.

Oct 07 - Starscream AWOL[]

<Megatron's face appears on the screen. His expression is neutral for the most part.>

Decepticons, it seems that our Air Commander has not returned to base after the battle at the cruiser. I want him found, and brought before me to answer to this desertion. Megatron out.

<Megatron's face vanishes and is replaced by the Decepticon spinny>

Apr 03 - Operation: Waterworld[]

<The Decepticon Overlord's image appears in the place of the spinny>

Decepticons, the time has come to recoup our losses from the Autobot's thwarting of our previous efforts. With the recent acquisition of weather controlling technology, we shall achieve final victory over this planet and squeeze every last drop of energy it has to offer. All construction teams are to begin constructing hydro-electric power generators at 100 strategically selected sites. Deserts, mountains, valleys, existing water ways, and canyons have been identified as targets. At the same time, construction teams will begin constructing the plans I have entered into the main computer for heating stations beneath this planet's polar ice caps.
When complete, these stations along with the weather manipulating technology will be brought to bear to cause this planet to begin flooding on massive proportions, powering all the generators and providing us with enough energon to power Cybertron for millions of years to come! I want status reports on all construction efforts. Victory will be ours, and I will tolerate NO DELAYS! Megatron out.

<The spinny re-appears as Megatron fades out>

Aug 02 - Operation: Waterworld Underway[]

Decepticons, our hour of glory is upon us. Even now, the undersea stations have begun the process of melting this planet's ice caps, and the stolen Weather Dominator has begun the process of churning this planet's atmosphere into a swirling stew of energy on which we shall feast! All Decepticons will begin manning generator stations that have been constructed across the globe and generating energon cubes. I do not want a single drop wasted! We will squeeze this planet for all it has, and we will conquer Cybertron once and for all! Megatron out.


December 8 - Antarctic Assault - The final showdown in Antarctica: the combined force of Joes, Cobras, and Autobots makes their strike on the Decepticon installation responsible for the melting of the southern icecaps.

December 21 - General Orders[]

Megatron appears on-screen, sitting upon his dais in the command center of Decepticon City. With his trademark glower, he announces, "Decepticons - soon I will return to Cybertron to save our beleaguered home planet. Shockwave and Starscream will accompany me - Deathsaurus, you will remain on Earth as City Commander. Should any Autobots try to take advantage of my absence, crush them - hurt them - make them an example." Megatron smiles. "They will fear us even without my presence.

"Valour," Megatron continues. "You will focus my Aerospace forces in continuing the blockade of Cybertron. No one takes off or lands without my leave - Autobot or neutral. Shoot down any unknown craft that enters the system, and ruthlessly carpet-bomb any starport that attempts to assist those who would leave the planet. Cybertron and all its citizens are mine, and only I will determine who will stay and who might go.

"Onslaught - prepare a force to accompany us to into the depths of Cybertron's underworld. Summon Drillhorn to offer strategic assistance in bypassing cave-ins caused by ongoing cyberquakes. Guard known entrances to Cybertron's depths, and target any Autobots who attempt to follow us - their assistance will not be necessary. Spread the rest of my forces out to seize transport hubs and crater the remaining roadways to impede the Autobot army. Soon there'll be no way to stop us.

"Cyclonus - deploy Scourge and the Sweeps to track the Autobots' movements and determine what information they’ve collected towards restoring Cybertron. We must not let their feeble, ineffectual efforts interfere with our bold steps at planetary restoration. Find Prime and impede his progress. Not through violent conflict - no, they'll be a time for that, and soon. But find other ways to extract information from them and then send them in the wrong direction while we claim the prize.

"Finally, Nemesis - continue to collect data on Cybertron's ongoing collapse. Ferret out the cause for the persistent destruction - the dead energon has been nullified, and yet the planet-wide storms and physical upheaval endure. Find ways to protect our troops and our positions from the worst of the ravages until I return. I will need my troops prepared for conquest of a new era for Cybertron - have them ready."

With a glimmer of hate in his crimson optics, Megatron ends the transmission.

Mar 10 - Response to the peace talks[]

Megatron glowers at the screen. " Decepticons, I have thought of a proper response to the ones out there demanding peace or a new golden age of Cybertron. There will be no revitilazation of Cybertron unless it is under my rule." he says. He leans in. "As a fellow member of the most elite force on the planet, Cybertron and all the wealth of a returned age would be yours as well. However, I am not ready to give in to the demands of the Autobots and the neutral.
Megatron brings up a map of Altihex "The rot of these peace talks is located in Altihex itself, spearheaded by a scraplet of a neutral named Khamsin. Silence him immediately. If this causes an uprising, we will be there to put it down, and rebuild the city from its ashes into a new Decepticon territory. Decepticons, now is not the time for laying down your arms. Now is the time to fight for your primus given right to rule Cybertron. As always, those who are with me will reap the rewards. Those who stand against me will fall before our empire." Megatron brandishes his gun arm with his last words. "Decepticons...forever!"

Mar 15 - Immediate Apprehension[]

Subject : GOTH AND KHAMSIN APPREHENSION ORDER


>*Megatron's visage appears on the screen in a message coded for Intel only*<
I want both Kashim and Goth captured and brought to the prisons at Kaon. I have decided on their fate and will see it out soon. Utilize any troops necessary to bring them in alive. Lord Megatron, out.

Mar 26 - RE: Apprehension[]

To: All forces.
Megatron appears on the screen. "In light of the ..events in Harmonex, I believe we have all seen how neutrality and trust of the enemy will ultimately destroy us. There is no such thing as peace. The Autobots do not want it and nor do I. Anyone foolish enough to think it can come in our lifetimes is just playing into the Autobots hands. In light of recent events, I am calling off the hunt on Goth and Khamsin. Goth's only transgression was defending his commanding officer who should have stopped him and trained him better. I blame his actions on his commander's inability to control his soldiers. As for Khamsin. Trust him at your peril. Remember that I can be a forgiving God or an angry one. Lord Megatron, out.

Mar 26 - Time to expand[]

Megatron's visage appears on the screen today, giving a devious smile.
Decepticons. I have came up with a solution to the Autobots' new combiner. Demonhead, you and your Devilcons have been chosen to be our solution to this..Victorion. Medical staff? Prepare them. For we will soon destroy this new threat to the empire. Megatron, out.

4/17 - "The Mad King's Indiscretion"[]

After the chaos in the New Polyhex Arena, some additional words are spoken.

May 10 - Assault on Altihex[]

Megatron appears on screen seated with the edges of a viewscreen visible on either side of the throne he occupies. "Commander Valour, take charge of your Aerospace forces and what other forces you need and continue with the planned assault on Altihex. Bring any information you retrieve to the attention of Ghost and Shockwave."

The Decepticon Emperor pauses in his address to pick up a datapad and tap a few things into it before setting it back down.

"Deathsaurus, you -will- assist your commander in the assault to the fullest of your abilities. I expect you to excel in your continued governance of New Polyhex and furthering the expansion of the Decepticon Empire on Cybertron, or I -will- find someone to do both of those in your stead."

Megatron's visage is replaced with the Deception symbol which remains on screen for half a minute before fading out to black.

May 15 - Recent Victories[]

The screen again shows Megatron on the throne of Kolkular with portions of the viewscreen visible on either side.

"Commander Valour, you are to be commended on your execution of the plan. Your forces in Altihex kept the Autobots occupied so that Cyclonus and Sixshot could secure the spaceport at Ibex. Even their foreknowledge fails them and shows that there is nothing that they do not posses that we cannot take away through the combined might of the Empire."

"Lieuteneant Cyclonus and Sergeant Sixshot your decisive strike on the sapceport allow the Decepticon Empire to exercise greater control over Cybertron. We now control two of their -neutral- spaceports. Hun-Grrr take your team to relieve Major Cyclonus and Sixshot. Do not let your the member of your team destroy the defenses. Scourge you and your sweeps are to patrol the skies along with the Rainmakers."

Megatron's image fades to the Decepticon symbol and then to black.

May 17 - "Returning Deathsaurus to Darkmount"[]

Deathsaurus is returned to Polyhex; Leozak and Ghost talk.

Aug 09 - State of the Empire[]

My Decepticons; we have been silent too long. It is time that changed. First there are things to be addressed, and dealt with.

The reports of what is being discussed on unsecured channels, both via radio waves and on the human communication channels are unacceptable. I have seen far too much valuable information offered out for our enemies to pluck out and to be used to their advantage. Soundwave, this is your realm. See to it that those who continue to perpetrate this failing are punished appropriately, and if you do not; I shall.

Commanders Overlord and Valour, see to it that your troops are prepared for an offensive.

Scrapper, I have need of your Constructicons; meet me in Kolkular as soon as you are able.

Commander Leozak, I have heard of the arrival of your Empress in Polyhex and I would be a poor host if I did not extend the hospitality of my palace for a meeting to discuss our continued agreement.

Shockwave, prepare and send an expedition to scout and catalog what is within the crypts. You may lead it if you wish.

Excellently done, Cyclonus, your efforts to secure further resources for the Empire are noted. As are those of Omen, Valour, and Nightshade; your skills are a credit to the Empire and to be emulated and envied.

Banshee, if your project for the concert hall can find its resources and not diminish the Empire's readiness, you may proceed. Otherwise it will have to wait.

Glory to MY Empire!

August 30 - "Constructicon Orders"[]

Megatron has a new project for his Constructicons.

Oct 28 - Dweller Virus[]

< The Decepticon Symbol fades out to reveal Megatron's visage >

Shockwave, report to me immediately for orders regarding the scanning of essential personnel.

The rest of you see that you get scanned by Medical personnel to determine your fitness for duty.

Glory to MY Empire!

< The Decepticon fades in to replace Megatron's face >

Nov 22 - Call to Arms[]

The Decepticon symbol fades out to be replaced with a view of Megatron from the shoulders up.

My Decepticons! It is time we took the fight from our borders, and reminded the citizens of Cybertron who it is that will bring them a unified order.

To accomplish this I require Commanders Valour and Overlord to each prepare a small, but capable, assault force that will be deployed to reclaim Ibex within the next Orbital Cycle.

Commander Ghost, I will need a team of your agents capable of discretion, both in action and deed, to infiltrate the Tri-Torus states for any details that may prove useful in further actions.

Lord Deathsaurus and Lady Esmeral, your troops are currently best deployed along the Crystalline Highway, or assisting in specific reclamation efforts for now.

There will be more orders forthcoming concerning other areas of interest soon.

Glory to -MY- Empire!

Megatron's visage fades out to the Decepticon symbol.

Dec 01 - Orders[]

< The Decepticon Emblem dissolves and is replaced with Emperor Megatron's face >

Commander Valour, I am reassigning Banshee to your command. See that her talents are put to use in the upcoming offensives.

Scourge, track down the Autobot called Hubcap and bring him in so he may be examined by the medical division for any signs of the Dweller's influence, and questioned by members on Intel.

< Megatron's face fades until the screen once again shows the Decepticon Emblem >

Mar 02 - A Word From Your Emperor[]

>*The Decepticon symbol on screen fades to to show Megatron seated upon his throne.*<

"My Decepticons; despite what you may have heard from other sources the proper order has been restored to the Empire. As you have seen, the operation to bring Ibex back into our control will proceed as planned under Commander Valour's leadership. The completion of this and other efforts to restore territory temporarily lost to Autobot incursions will bring a new age to the Empire. An age where our strength shall be forged anew to a point that it shall not be broken."

>*As the image zooms in the Decepticon Emperor raises his clenched fist and shakes it emphatically.*<

"For the glory of the Decepticon Empire!"

>*His optics flash crimson before the image switches back to the Decepticon symbol.*<


Mar 29 - To Victory[]

>*The Decepticon sigil is replaced with the image of Lord Megatron seated upon his throne in Kolkular. The camera zooms in until just his upper half is visible.*<

"My Decepticons; the recent losses at the hands of the Autobots are mere setbacks in our efforts to unite the inhabitants of Cybertron under our guiding hands. It was not due to a lack of fervor or tenacity on your part the the Autobots prevailed. No... these defeats can be traced back to a singular source..."

>*Megatron steeples his fingers, leans in, and looks straight into the camera.*<

"One who, in their impudence, presumed to challenge -MY- rule and deliver -OUR- plans to our enemies."

>*His optics flash crimson as he continues.*<

"Then, when given the opportunity to lead a strike against the Autobots occupying our rightful territory he could not even comport himself as a true Commander of the Empire in ejecting the squatters on our land."

>*The Decepticon Emperor leans back; fingers interlacing as he does so.*<

"-I- will not allow your efforts to be wasted when we secure our hold on southern Cybertron. I will lead the acquisition of the final piece of the puzzle. Commanders Valour and Overlord I expect to see your best on the field of battle."

>*Megatron grins and chuckles,* "Until all. Are. One."<

>*Lord Megatron's visage fades out; replaced once again with the Decepticon symbol.*<

May 22 - Re: Trypticon and the storms[]

To: Valour, Banshee, Arachnae
CC: Intel/High Command
Subj: RE:Altihex Storm/Trypticon R&R Request
Megatron appears on the viewscreen, his visage appearing stern. "These storms may provide vital information. Shockwave, send your scientists to study these storms and report any abnormalities to me. Arachnae, I give you my personal permission to gather information on the storm and inform us if there's anything we can gain from it. As far as Trypticon is concerned, the titan is still recovering and coming to planetside requires too many invaluable resources and too much energon for us to expend right now. We do not need the Autobots meeting him with Fortress Maximus and Metroplex while we are trying to gather information.The threat of him looming in orbit ready to strike on command, or if anyone leaves orbit should be enough of a threat to the Autobots..for now..
By my command,
Lord Megatron

Megatron appears on the screen, with his normal glowering countenance "Decepticons. Until Floodlight's awakening, Ravage is in charge of the Decepticon intelligence division. Any and all questions will go to him or myself. As I command - Megatron


What If? Universes[]

Bot World[]

At a pivotal point in Cybertron's history, the young Optimus Prime managed to defeat and kill the Decepticon Leader Megatron in single combat. Without a strong leader to unify them, the remaining Decepticons quickly turned on each other, breaking into small warring bands.

When Unicron attacked Cybertron in 2005, Optimus Prime was able to defeat the Chaos God using the Matrix, cementing the Autobots' feeling of invulnerability. Without a leader, Cyclonus and the Sweeps settled on Chaar, where they eke out a meager existence while plotting their revenge on the Destroyer of Unicron.

Cobra World[]

In Cobra World Cobra Commander carries a mode-locked Megatron as his personal firearm.

Decepticon World[]

The Autobots' desperate attempt to launch the Ark ends in failure, and the majority of Iacon's inhabitants are permanently off-lined. Megatron took over Earth, and killed Prime with his bare hands. Megatron also reigns supreme over Cybertron, as well as many other worlds conquered by the Decepticons, now truly an Empire. The few survivors of the Ark Massacre live beneath the surface of the planet, determined to survive no matter the cost.

Optimus Prime is dead, killed by Megatron, and the Autobots are in hiding, literally underground. When Unicron attacked Cybertron in 2005, Megatron forced Autobot prisoner Hot Rod, to open the Matrix that Megatron had ripped out of Optimus Prime's chest. Once Unicron was destroyed, Megatron killed this "Last Autobot," believing then that he had extinguished the final spark of the Autobots forever.

Bumblebee leads a ragtag group of survivors, preparing a last desperate surprise strike against the Decepticons. Against massive odds, the Autobots managed to overtake the Space Bridge and Megatron was killed by Sky Lynx. The Autobot Matrix of Leadership was recovered and presented to Bumblebee.
