Megatron is the founder of the Decepticon uprising, and their most well-known and feared
leader.
As a young, charismatic leader forged in battle and the heritage of
war, he began to believe in a grand purpose for his race—it is the
Transformers' glorious destiny to rule an
empire which will span the universe. The opposite of his mortal enemy
Optimus Prime,
he feels great contempt for other Transformers who, he feels, betray
their proud heritage by demanding peace and cooperation with weaker
life forms. It is the destiny of the Decepticons to bring order to the
universe through conquest, though in the millions of years since
coining this purpose it remains to be seen how much of his mission
statement is altruistic... and how much of it is mere words built to
fuel warriors to further his desire for personal power.
Megatron will attempt almost anything to achieve his goals, but
his schemes are rarely in any way subtle. This is perhaps due to his
arrogance, but his pride is not so strong as to dissuade him from
abandoning a battle he is losing. Some would question his sanity,
though these few are mostly now dead by his hands...or his
Fusion cannon, depending on his mood. Sometimes he uses his
energon mace to strike them down. It does not matter how they die. Death by the hands of Megatron is an honor.
His Earth
Alternate mode is usually a modified
Walther P38. His
Fusion Cannon becomes the scope.
Sometimes, Megatron is later
reborn as Galvatron.
