Shortly before the [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] was hidden in space by [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]], Sideways arrived from another dimension and joined the Decepticons. Land General Sideways was responsible for overseeing the [[Silvart War]], where he was captured by [[Primal Major]] and prepared for transportation back to Cybertron on board the ''[[Axalon (Animated)|Axalon]]''. [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]] speculated that thanks to the General's [[Trans-Phase Generator]], Sideways broke free of his restraints and sabotaged the engine, causing the ''Axalon'' and its crew to succumb to a black hole.

Since Sideways was never seen again, Longarm Prime suspects Sideways was trying to get to some place called "[[Shanghai]]", which he frequently mentioned. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2|The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2}}

{{note|''Animated'' Sideways is described as having the signature powers of the familiar pre-existing character. His body looks like [[Sideways (ROTF)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Sideways]] with the paintjob of ''Armada'' Sideways. These clear visual continuity points are very similar to those used to establish that Sideways had "jumped" from the Unicron Trilogy into Generation 1. However, there is no absolute proof that after his arrival in ''Animated'', Sideways ever followed through on his desire to visit Shanghai, nor which universe's Shanghai he might have visited. If one makes the conclusion that he did make that jump, he and the movie-continuity Sideways must be the same person; if not, not.}}

The Transformer designated '''D-16''' took the legendary name '''[[The Fallen|Megatronus]]''' as his own and rose from the oppressed lower working castes of [[Kaon]]. Finding his true purpose and direction in the region's illegal gladiatorial games, he was redubbed '''Megatron''' by the crowds and rode his unmatched power and combat skills to fame and influence. Megatron's call for an upheaval of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s society, his insistance that the freedom of self-determination was the right of all sentient beings, drew many of the oppressed and dissaffected to his cause.

But power corrupts, and Megatron's revolution, like many such movements, quickly turned to tyranny. Powerful, charismatic, violent, and full of rage for any who would stand in the way of his ambition and drive it doesn't take Megatron and his Decepticon armies long to bring Cybertron to the brink of destruction.

{{spoiler|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|July 23}}

In the first days of the war on [[Cybertron]], Megatron began research on a new type of Energon called [[Dark Energon]] for use to corrupt the core of Cybertron and take command. During this, he discovered that the one of the few places it was made was in a space station in orbit near Cybertron. He also found out that it was being guarded by a neutral force led by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. With this knowledge, he boarded a ship, gathered two of his soldiers [[Barricade (Prime)| Barricade]] and [[Brawl (Prime)| Brawl]], and sends his forces to the space station.

While the army was attacking Starscream's forces, Megatron decided to take the direct approach, and rammed his ship into the station. After demolishing the troops in the station, he finally reached the control room, where [[Jetfire (Prime)| Jetfire]] and Starscream himself stood. Jetfire tried vainly to warn Megatron about the dangers of Dark Energon, but Starscream interrupted his little speech and asked to join forces with the Decepticon leader. Megatron asked what he has to offer (that is, something that he cannot simply steal), and Starscream answered that he knows how to manufacture Dark Energon, and reveals that there was [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge|a bridge]] that fed Dark Energon itself to the station. After Jetfire retreated to inform [[Sentinel Zeta Prime| Zeta Prime]], Megatron sent Starscream, [[Thundercracker (Prime)| Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (Prime)| Skywarp]] to reconnect the bridge.

After the bridge is reconnected, Megatron decided to attack Zeta Prime at his headquarters, and descends with [[Breakdown (Prime)| Breakdown]] and [[Soundwave (Prime)| Soundwave]] to [[Iacon]]. The trio snook in while Starscream battled Zeta's forces outside. They soon reached Zeta Prime himself, who projected a huge hologram of himself, and used elements of the room (collapsing pillars) and smaller holograms of his size to try to squash the Decepticons. They breached through these defenses, and Zeta fell, buried under metallic rubble. Megatron picked him up, damages his waist area severely, then snatched the Omega Key. However, Zeta informed him that that only ''activates'' the key, and that Megatron's spies were misinformed. He then spoke the cryptic message that the key will come to him...

Megatron boarded yet another ship, with Soundwave and Breakdown at the controls, in search for the true Omega Key. Suddenly, the key (who shouts out his true name, [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]]) knocked them out of the sky, causing them to crash-land back in Iacon. There, they took command of Autobot turrets (but not after killing the Autobots manning them) and shot Omega Supreme down. Omega crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater. Megatron and his two companions leaped down into the crater and attacked the wounded Omega Supreme from there. He tries to recharge himself using Energon batteries, but the three corrupted the batteries with Dark Energon, causing Omega Supreme's systems to crash. Megatron then takes control of Omega, using him to reach the core of Cybertron. Once there, he utilized several corruptors and bombards the core with Dark Energon. Megatron then stated to his comrades that with Dark Energon in the core, Cybertron will be under his control.

Later, Megatron learned that with Cybertron corrupted, the Autobots have no choice but to leave Cybertron. Megatron sends a message to the new leader of the Autobots, [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], stating that leaving the planet would be to defy his "rule". He then fired a massive cannon he installed in the space station he invaded earlier, downing some Autobot ships. Optimus sent his aerial commander [[Silverbolt (Prime)|Silverbolt]] to shut down the cannon, sucessfully. Megatron revealed that he has one last resort: his massive solder (massive as in Omega Supreme sized) [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]]. Optimus and his troops defeat Trypticon, leaving Megatron without a large Decepticon ship.

==Notes==
*Megatron's designation as an energon miner was "D-16".<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=7fd5ecd9-19b9-f369-1041-a7635be83172 War for Cybertron timeline].</ref> Megatron's original [[Japanese ID number list|Japanese ID number]] was "16". Takara would eventually change the numbering system using a "D" to denote Destrons. So Megatron's Japanese ID number could retroactively be considered "D-16".
