Megatron (myth)

{{disambig3|Megatron}}
:''Megatron is a Cybertronic religious figure from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].

Megatron is a dreaded figure in the [[Covenant of Primus]], an apocalyptic figure that threatens to shatter the fabric of time and defeats great heroes. But [[Megatron (BW)|nobody in real life]] could be that dangerous, right?

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars'' cartoon===
Covenant scripture quotes Megatron as declaring himself "alpha and omega: the beginning and the end": "that which is, which was, and is yet to come". For some unspecified reason, Megatron was out to lay vengeance upon the people he was talking to, declaring they'll damn well know he's Megatron when he does it. Something akin to a great mountain raging with fire would arise from the sea at his command, and unspecified figures [[Maximal|"who live and war as beast"]] would face their final hour as their hiding places were torn upon.

The earthly plane would be ravaged and so would the very fabric of time, with Megatron aiming to take control of it, and so [[Optimus Primal|a great hero]] would emerge to stand against the monster. "But the hero would not prevail; nor would he surrender."

A possibly related verse talks of [[Tigerhawk|a divine warrior]] casting out "the great dragon" and his followers.

A Predacon criminal would name himself [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] after reading these datatrax. Oddly enough, he would go on to commit acts that seemed ''exactly'' like the scripture! {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}} {{storylink|Nemesis Part 2}}

==Notes==
* The scripture about Megatron bears odd resemblance to scripture in some English translations of the [[human]] [[Wikipedia:Bible|Bible]]. Odder still, one line bears resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Pulp Fiction|a paraphrase of the Bible from a human film]].

* [[Onyx Primal]] has nicked and distorted the line "you will know my name is Megatron when I lay my vengeance upon you" as part of his own motto.

*It is possible that [[Megatron (G1)|The Original Megatron]] took his name from this dude as well

:''"Anonymous Maximus" is an unnamed [[Autobot]] [[Combiner]] from the [[Energon (cartoon)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:E50 anonymousamximus.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Who am I? I'm certainly not that fellow SUPERION MAXIMUS, even though I do look like SUPERION MAXIMUS a whole bunch. I'm not SUPERION MAXIMUS, that's for sure. Yep."]]
"'''Anonymous Maximus'''" is one of four ancient warriors tasked with guarding the [[Super Energon Temple]] along with his little brother [[Superion Maximus]].

Physically he is identical to his brother in every way. You'd think that would cause confusion, wouldn't you?

==Fiction==
===''Energon'' cartoon===
Long ago, during a time when the Decepticons and Autobots were at peace, Anonymous Maximus, his brother [[Superion Maximus]], and the Decepticons [[Constructicon Maximus]] and [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]] were tasked with guarding the [[Super Energon Temple]]. The Autobots and Decepticons glared at one another in mutual acrimony until they became completely corroded and were unable to move.

In the year 2020, [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], guided by [[Unicron]]'s voice within him, discovered the Super Energon Temple. Confronted by the four rusted guardians, he destroyed Anonymous Maximus to force them to acknowledge him. Superion Maximus was horrified when he awoke, and he fled rather than serve Megatron. {{storylink|Ambition}}

Some time later when Superion, having been reduced to [[Storm Jet (Energon)|his central component]] after defeating Constructicon Maximus, was being savagely beaten by Bruticus Maximus, Anonymous Maximus's ghost appeared to save his little brother. He blasted Bruticus Maximus, destroying [[Blackout (combiner)|his left arm]] in the process. With his brother momentarily safe, Anonymous Maximus gave him a reassuring smile and faded away. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}}
