Megatron waged a battle to destroy the evil forces of the Senate! Then he continued to wage a war against the not-so-evil forces of freedom, organic life, and the very idea of an Autobot living. After some life-changing events, he waged a war against the evil forces of his own past legacy. Currently, however, Megatron's revolution has come full circle, waging a war against the evil forces of the Functionist Council!

Megatron is a master planner, constantly a step ahead of any opponent and even ahead of what he wants now, preparing for anything he may want in the future. He has the physical might to overpower most foes but it's his mind that has one-upped three Primes and rival Decepticons. But his cold clinical nature is a front he has to struggle to keep up, as he's quick to anger and quicker to use excessive violence as his answer to any problem. Megatron's trying to change but he's spent such a long time revelling in violence, it may have been a lost cause from the start.

First Appearance: Transformers: Infiltration #4 So long as you stand in my way—so long as anyone stands in my way, I will respond by killing. Murder on an industrial scale. Because in the final analysis, I would happily wade across a river of corpses, chest-deep in rust and grease and engine oil, just to crush the spark of the last Autobot standing. And I would not do so simply as a means to an end. No. I'd do it, Prime, because it would give me pleasure. Megatron to Optimus Prime, "Chaos Theory Part 1" I once told Optimus that I killed for the sake of killing. I wanted to make him hurt me, you see, because when he hurts others, he hurts himself. And the thing is, when those words were in my head I didn't think I meant them; but when they left my mouth, I realized that I did. If the world thinks you're a monster, what does it matter? The world is wrong. But when you start to think of yourself as a monster... Megatron on the previous quote, "slaughterhouse"

Megatron of Tarn was the first "hybrid" Transformer, a powerful forged superspark in a constructed cold body. His spark came to life in the middle of a field full of newborn sparks, a so-called "hot spot", on Luna 1, the "Seething Moon". The hot spot remained dormant for ages until it was finally fertilized when Rodimus and Rung set foot on the ground in the year 2013. Within an instant, the entire moon lit up, as a billion sparks suddenly flared to life all over its surface. Cyclonus was the first to point out that one of the sparks was glowing green, which Brainstorm recognized as a "superspark"—a vanishingly rare, insanely powerful Point One Percenter. Despite Perceptor's horrified protestations, Brainstorm immediately began to excavate and harvest the spark, The Fecund Moon taking it with him for future use. This Calamitous Life

Megatron (Work in progress) Megatron's original body, on the other hand, was one of many constructed cold during the Silver Harvest, specifically built in the 1st Cycle 012, during the era of functionism, in Con Facility 113. The spark originally intended for this body was one generated from the Matrix of Leadership by Tyrest, but this spark was destroyed by Rewind, who had travelled back in time alongside several other Autobots, originally to prevent a time-travelling Brainstorm from killing Megatron and thereby unwittingly creating a dystopian alternate timeline in which the Functionist Council would rule Cybertron. In the process, Brainstorm had also begun to erase data about Megatron, including his batch code. After Rewind had "killed" Megatron in order to prevent the destruction he knew the latter would come to wreak upon the universe, fellow time-travelling Autobot Whirl, who loathed the Functionists, took it upon himself to fix the timeline, taking advantage of a temporary distraction by nabbing the harvested Point One Percenter spark Brainstorm had taken back in time with him and placing it inside Megatron's now sparkless body—and thus Megatron was truly born. Predestination: An Expert's Guide

Megatron desired to be a medic, The Becoming but the doctrine of functionism was such that one's alternate mode denoted one's role in society, and one's role determined one's rights. With the true nature of his exceptionally rare spark evidently unknown, Megatron was assigned the task for which his body had been built: that of energon miner, a member of the lower class, toiling in a mine under Nova Point. Towards Peace

... And thus the "Silica Fracturism" art movement was born. An idealist, intellectual, and poet, Megatron was sickened by the caste-ridden social apartheid of Nominus Prime's Cybertron, and so he wrote a treatise on how pacifist dissent and the exchange of ideas could change things. It was while he was sharing this work with his miner friend Impactor over a drink in Maccadam's New Oil House that the event occurred which would change the course of his life, as Impactor wound up being drawn into a bar brawl with some of the city's upper classes (inadvertently caused by a time-travelling Rung and a curly straw), and Megatron, who himself had actually not been involved in the brawl, instead cowering underneath a table, was among those arrested after the fracas. Megatron's writings had been growing in popularity and inspiring some dissent against the current regime, so in order to silence him, the Senate arranged for a police officer on their payroll, Whirl, to kill him. Before Whirl could finish the job, however, police captain Orion Pax, having discovered Megatron's innocence thanks to the bartender's testimony, arranged for his release. Despite Pax expressing support for the message of his writings, Megatron now found himself filled with rage and hate, disillusioned with his former ideology and realizing the power of applied violence. Angrily hurling the datapad on which he had written his treatise through a public info-screen, Megatron observed the jagged shape of the shattered glass, and later turned it into a symbol for his cause. Chaos Theory #1

When considering the Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy, one question remains unanswered. Why am I always pictured with phallic-shaped items in awkward positions? Megatron's samizdat writings began to circulate in Cybertron's underground, spawning the "Decepticon" movement, its name derived from its own slogan, "You are being deceived", warning the common 'bot of the Senate's true nature. Knowing that, at this stage, assassinating Megatron would merely make him a martyr, the Senate instead elected to relocate him off-planet, reassigning him to a mining facility on the world of Messatine while they tried their own schemes to defuse the growing Decepticon movement. Post Hoc It was there that Megatron met Terminus, an elderly fellow miner who encouraged him to keep writing, and who, in addition to proofreading his works for him, smuggled each new tract back to Cybertron, helping to continue the spread of the Decepticon movement. When Terminus was maimed in a mining accident and had his fuel rations cut off, Megatron kept him alive by sharing his own energon with the old 'bot. Eventually, Senate agents Froid and Trepan were dispatched to Messatine to perform mind-altering Shadowplay upon Megatron, in order to cut his writings off at the source. Tased into submission and strapped to Trepan's operating table, Megatron was helpless to stop the mnemosurgeon from beginning his vile work. Though the arrival of Froid's rival psychopathologist Rung fortunately forced Trepan to stop before Megatron's personality was altered, the experience left the miner with a lifelong fear of mnemosurgery. Subsequently, a mysterious surge of energy deep within the mine (inadvertently caused by a time-travelling Brainstorm) forced an evacuation of the facility; Megatron raced back to his quarters to carry Terminus to safety, but found his friend was not there. With time running out and no sign of Terminus anywhere, Megatron instead chose to save the stack of datapads containing his unpublished works—a decision that would haunt him. Births, Deaths, and Interventions

"You know, sometimes I think I was born with a leak, and any goodness I started with just slowly spilled out of me and now its all gone. And I'll never get it back in me. It's too late." Megatron was relocated to Mining Outpost C-12, and continued to seethe with hate and frustration in his new workplace. His discontent reached a peak when, some time later, Senator Decimus arrived to announce that the mine was being automated and the workers would be relocated. When one of the Senator's guards killed a worker for insubordination and claims of Senate corruption, Megatron's fury boiled over and he hurled his pickaxe at Decimus. In turn, he was attacked by the Senator's guard, whom he killed by smashing his head to fragments—the first time he had ever taken a life. A riot erupted around him, but Megatron himself could only sit amongst the chaos, staring at his fuel-stained hands in abject horror, which allowed him to be easily pacified and rounded up with the other miners as the mayhem was quickly suppressed. En route to imprisonment back on Cybertron, however, Rumble and Frenzy broke free and started a riot aboard their ship. Megatron joined in their effort, and together, they overpowered their guards, took control of the ship, and disappeared into the Kaon underground. Megatron Origin #1

After evading law enforcement, Megatron joined a team of underworld gladiators under the tutelage of Clench. Initially repulsed by killing his opponents, the games eventually turned him more brutal and excessive, and he took control of the entire operation from Clench. The opportunistic Senator Ratbat, after seeing how much money there was in the underworld matches, covertly sent his agent Soundwave to offer Megatron weaponry and technology to upgrade himself and his comrades. Their meeting was spied upon by Bumper and Fastback, agents from the Senate's forces, who Megatron slew. Megatron Origin #2 Subsequently, impressed by how he treated his animal-form cassette partners as equals (in contradiction to the teachings of his Senate masters), Megatron invited Soundwave back to the gladiator pits and gave him permission to use his mind-reading abilities on him. Within Megatron's mind, Soundwave saw his honest desire for all Cybertronians to be true equals, and was so moved by it that he joined Megatron's cause. Soundwaves

Gradually, Megatron used the gladiatorial games to drum up an army of violent malcontents, sending Soundwave to recruit more and more warriors to his cause. Such recruits included Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp, who he was presented with while having an arm he lost in a brawl replaced with a new limb that incorporated an energon mace, Megatron Origin #3 and the disenfranchised warrior Drift, who was personally asked by Megatron to fight at his side when he attended a Decepticon rally, and whom Megatron rechristened "Deadlock", Drift #2 and transformed into a capable Decepticon warrior. Drift #3 A wave of terrorism and sabotage spread across Cybertron at his command: bombings, wrecking factories and fuel plants, shutting down transport links, a mass poisoning to tank a corporation, and a very public kidnapping of Senator Decimus. Megatron Origin #3

Seeking to enhance his army even further, Megatron reached out to Senator Shockwave, offering to supply him the resources he required to carry out his own mysterious experiments in exchange for his using the teachings of his lost mentor Jhiaxus to create a combiner that would serve the Decepticons. Shockwave cautioned that it could take some time, but Megatron was content to wait. Shockwaves

You should have gone to IKEA. Despite all his efforts, Megatron believed that the Senate was still not taking the Decepticons seriously, so Soundwave formulated a plan for a declaration of intent that could be not denied: lure the Senate to Kaon and murder them. Soundwaves In preparation for this scheme, Megatron offered to restore Shockwave's lost hands—a victim of empurata—believing that doing so might speed his work. Shockwaves The following day, in accordance with Soundwave's plan, Megatron and the Decepticons allowed themselves to be arrested by Sentinel Prime's men, after which Soundwave was freed on Ratbat's orders, while Starscream would ensure his own release by pretending to defect. Megatron Origin #3 Together, Soundwave and Starscream exterminated the entire Senate, then liberated Megatron and the rest of their comrades, in the process granting their leader the gift of a fusion cannon liberated from the Senate forces' armory. Megatron led his army against Sentinel Prime's men, killed Sentinel himself, and took control of Kaon, now ready to turn his insurgency into a full-blown war. Megatron Origin #4

After Sentinel Prime's body was laid to rest, his head inexplicably went missing. With the people of Cybertron unaware that Sentinel was a Titan Master who had disconnected from his Transtector, the Decepticons were blamed for mutilating the corpse, allegations that Megatron denied. The Last Autobot

Early days of war Megatron formally declared war on "Declaration Day" when he delivered a stirring speech from Nova Peak. Rules of Disengagement The self-described "second order" he ever gave was that under no circumstances was any Decepticon to kill Whirl—Megatron wanted his old tormentor for himself. Towards Peace The growing Decepticon forces swiftly spread across six Torus-States, Parasites and to combat them, Cybertron's new leader Zeta Prime assembled a new military force, the "Autobots", led by Megatron's old acquaintance Orion Pax. Researching his new opposite number, Megatron was intrigued to discover that his now-abandoned treatise had been a source of inspiration for Pax, who had even quoted from it when he confronted the Senate and openly accused them of corruption. Cause and Effect Early into the war, Bludgeon would admit to Pax that Megatron talked about him sometimes, when he was tired. When Pax asked what was said, Bludgeon told him that it would make "both of us feel uncomfortable". Omega's Conundrum

Megatron Delightful Destruction Exclusive Variant When Orion Pax came close to Kaon during a mission, Megatron saw it as a chance to speak to him and had his Decepticons bring him in. The Hunt for Soundwave Megatron attempted to convince him that Zeta Prime was even worse than he appeared—that he had planned to let Orion die in Nyon so that he could use his death as pretext to invade the rebel-infested city and drain the citizens of their energon—and proposed they work together against him, but Orion refused to hear him and then escaped. Knowing the doubts he'd placed in his head would only serve to damage the Autobot cause, Megatron let him go. Cause and Effect

"Megatron, let's roll." "What you thinking?" "...Pub?" Megatron continued to keep an eye on Orion Pax's activities, spying on his encounter with the Nyon insurgent Hot Rod. Ruins When Zeta Prime's Omega Destructors suddenly attacked Nyon, Megatron was surprised by how zealously the new Prime fought against the city's rebels, but his real interest still lay on how Orion would handle the crisis. Purge Orion turned on Zeta, who in turn attempted to kill him, prompting Megatron to intervene and force the Prime to retreat. Taking Orion back to Kaon, he again offered that they work together against Zeta's corruption, and this time the Autobot officer accepted. Choices As their combined forces invaded the Citadel in Iacon, Megatron and Orion Pax made their way inside and fought Zeta Prime in person. The battle ended with Megatron killing the Prime with a head shot, and with his objective complete, he then betrayed the injured Orion by shooting him in the back. Overthrown This moment lived in infamy as the point at which Megatron revealed his true colors, no longer couched in ideology; Dinobot Hunt though curiously, an alternate report incorrectly implied he had assassinated Zeta from afar, sniping him with the rifle alternate mode of Vos. Bullets The Chaos of Warm Things

I can't be the only one with déjà vu here. With Zeta dead, Megatron conquered Iacon and declared himself ruler of Cybertron. His soldiers patrolled the planet's streets to "keep the peace", mostly by hunting down and capturing any remaining Autobots who opposed him. Transformation During his rule, Megatron attempted to sway the neutral Hot Rod into joining the Decepticons, but he decided otherwise upon witnessing Megatron ordering the execution of several Autobot prisoners. Rise Megatron was shocked to learn that Orion Pax had survived the betrayal and was organizing a rebellion against him under the name "Optimus Prime", and even more shocked that people actually had the courage to listen to him. He wasted no time in striking back against the rebels approaching the Citadel with the full force of his army. Broadcast During the battle, Megatron unleashed Zeta Prime's energy-draining vamparc annihilator, but when the gigantic Metroplex took out the cannon, Megatron fell to the streets and was confronted by Optimus Prime himself. He lost the ensuing familiar-looking duel and was badly wounded after a failed attempt to defeat Prime by holding Hot Rod hostage, forcing him to escape aboard Astrotrain. As he fled, he warned Optimus that he hadn't won, he had only started a war unlike any Cybertron had ever seen. Endgame

Megatron insists on wearing his Darksiders cosplay when he's walking his pet Quintesson. Before Megatron could recover from his injuries, he was betrayed by Scorponok, who was gunning for the position of Decepticon leader (with aid from Starscream). As punishment for his failure to hold Iacon, Scorponok banished the wounded Megatron to the hell-world of Junkion. Derelicts Further injured in battle with some cannibalistic natives, he stubbornly refused to give up and used the trash littering the world to patch himself up, leaving him with a mismatched, monstrous appearance. Wreckage While searching for a way off Junkion, Megatron entered the wreckage of a starship and found a trapped Quintesson named Pentius, who had mapped the planet and knew of an area known as the Pillar of Rust where starships may land and take off. Megatron freed the alien to guide him there, while also putting him in chains to serve as his slave. Faces of Darkness

"Thanks for turning me into the psychopath I've been the whole time!" While crossing the Acid Sea on the way to the Pillar, Megatron was attacked by Sharkticons who pulled him into the depths. Rage For reasons unknown he was then released, the creatures having allowed him to live. As he emerged, Pentius was waiting with a history lesson, telling him that Junkion was once a prosperous world until its inhabitants drained it of resources, leaving it the broken husk it is today: a fate that may also await Cybertron. Megatron rejected this possibility, declaring that under his rule, Cybertron—and his legacy—would last forever. Fallout On arrival at the Pillar of Rust, Megatron was met by the Terrorcons, who had come to Junkion to finish what Scorponok had started by killing him. He was able to fight off several of his attackers, but Hun-Gar was too much for him to handle in his injured state. Egged on and taunted by Pentius, Megatron realized he had one last resource left to use: the Quintesson himself. Telling Pentius that his legacy would live on within him, he tore out the alien's spark and used it to fuel himself, granting him enough power to defeat Hun-Gar. He spared the Terrorcons in exchange for their loyalty, then returned to Cybertron on their ship to take revenge on Scorponok and take back control of the Decepticons. Prey
