[[Image:Megatronanimated.jpg|300px|thumb|An insult to [[Megatron (G1)|G1]], we swear!]]
If you were to ask '''Megatron''' to describe himself in one word, he'd probably go with "heroic". He sees himself as a freedom fighter, leading the Decepticons out of the days of [[Autobot]] tyranny. The fact he's hoping to replace that with [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon tyranny]] isn't really a concern. A fanatic at heart, he revels in every Autobot who suffers at Decepticon hands and doesn't register humans as anything more then "collateral damage."

Megatron demands loyalty from the Decepticons, loyalty he gains by his awe-inspiring power. With the combined threat of a sharp mind, his [[fusion cannon]], a deadly sword and simple brute strength, there aren't many who'd dare cross him. Still, he has no problem manhandling troops as a gentle reminder.

A loss of a body and his former power is only a minor setback for him, as Megatron is a master manipulator. He's effortlessly got [[Isaac Sumdac]] helping him.

[[Image:Megatron Cybertron.jpg|left|thumb|Pointier than thou.]]

Aboard his [[Nemesis (Animated)|massive flagship]], Megatron went after the ''Ark'' after detecting the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]]. When [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] volunteered to attack, Megs saw right through him, pointing out "I didn't spend the last four million solar cycles combing the galaxy just so you can get your greasy wings on the All Spark." He even crumpled a part of said wings to make his point. Later, Starscream approached the Decepticon leader again, wishing him "luck", to which Megatron replied, "I don't believe in luck." Starscream got his own back by planting a bomb on Megatron, which blew just as his fusion cannon was about to breach the ''Ark'''s hull. The Autobot crew managed to steer the now-failing ship through an asteroid field and into a nearby [[space bridge]].

With the ''Ark'' now plummeting through the Earth's atmosphere, a wounded Megatron still managed to thrash the crew soundly and nearly claimed the All Spark. Quick thinking on the part of [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] sent the Decepticon leader out the cargo hatch and into free fall. Megatron [[Megatron (Movie)|fell from the sky]] and crashed in Paw Paw, Michigan, where his head was found by a young [[Isaac Sumdac]]. Over the next fifty years, Sumdac built a robotics empire by reverse-engineering Megatron's components, [[Sector 7|inspired to do so no doubt]] . {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}}

[[Image:Animatedmegatronhead1.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Hey Megatron, don't lose your... oh.]]

Fifty years later, [[Sari Sumdac|Sari]] used her key to sneak into her father's lab. He stopped her from seeing anything it contained, but the All Spark energy from the key was absorbed by Megatron's head, reawakening his spark and bringing him back online. Confused and disoriented, he automatically brought up video footage of Starscream and the Autobots. Furious both at Starscream's betrayal and the fact he didn't have the hands to reach out and take the All Spark which was finally within his grasp, he released a burst of energy which activated a small drone Dr. Sumdac had been working on. Megatron thus realized he could control the extremely primitive (by his standards) technology around him. Learning Sari was going to spend the night at the Autobot base, he sneaked his drone into her backpack.

Once she arrived, Megatron sent the drone to look for the All Spark, but his search was fruitless. He decided to try a simpler method: kill the Autobots and extract the data from their lifeless corpses. Interfacing with the factory's assembly line, he attacked. As the Autobots fought back, he decided to cut out the middleman and knocked a hole in a fuel tank. Prowl arrived, realized the factory was working via motion sensors, and managed to get close to the control panel. To counter him, Megatron simply took over the factory arms and snatched up Prowl. However, he failed to stop Bumblebee, due to the primitive tools he was forced to use. With his plans foiled, Megatron was out of patience, refusing to work through these worthless machines. He needed a body. Perhaps it was time to reveal something more advanced to Sumdac... {{storylink|Home Is Where the Spark Is}}

Megatron soon revealed to Isaac that he still functioned and, when Isaac guessed he was a friend of the Autobots, Megatron played along. He persuaded Isaac to keep his existence secret until Isaac had built him a new body, as then the Autobots would be more forgiving of how Isaac had reverse-engineered their friend. He then helped construct the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobot]]s, deliberately programming them to go on a rampage and building fire-breath into them as a prototype for a planned army of drones. When they were defeated, Megatron despaired he might never gain a new body, but upon discovering they'd been turned into sentient Transformers, he quickly convinced them that cars, trucks and "[[Autobot|car robots]]" were evil beings that ate dinosaurs.

During their second rampage, Isaac realized Megatron had deliberately built weapons into the Dinobots. The tyrant feigned shame, saying he'd added experimental features out of a desire to have a body again. Isaac promised not to tell the Autobots and that Megatron would have a body again one day... {{storylink|Blast from the Past}}

*'''CYBERTRON Mode Megatron''' (Voyager, 2008)

: Transforms into an alien VTOL jet that looks significantly more jet-like than his [[Megatron (Movie)|Movie counterpart]] and bears a resemblance to the jet mode of Super Megatron (see below). His cannon is indeed HUGE, and his sword is mounted on it for storage.
{{comingsoontoy}}

*'''Megatron''' (2008)
: Megatron's "Earth" body bears a significant resemblance to ''Generation 1'' [[Megatron (G1)#Battlestars: Return of Convoy (Japan-only)|Super Megatron]] from the ''Battlestars'' storyline. His alt-mode appears to be something akin to an Osprey helicopter, as seen in an apparent mock-up of the series intro on Hasbro's website.

==Trivia==
[[Image:AnimatedMegatronMovieHat.jpg|150px|thumb|They moonlight as lawn darts.]]
* Megatron's head has a rather pointed resemblance to the somewhat early head of 2007 movie's [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], which went unused in the actual movie but appeared on loads of promotional materials and merchandise.

[[Image: AniProwlPromoModel.jpg|thumb|250px|right|True warriors must move like water. '''NINJA''' water.]]
Some people are team players, and some...well, aren't. '''Prowl''' falls into the latter category. A loner at heart, he has no interest in teamwork, something [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] finds extremely frustrating. Added to that is his personality conflict with the fun-loving [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]. All in all, not the most sociable guy in the world.

Still, he's not without his redeeming features. He has a deep, deep fascination with organic lifeforms. In fact, he seems to have a deeper appreciation of them than those who grew up with them. The phrase "stop and smell the roses" is a life truth for Prowl, and he can spend hours motionless, watching the world play out around him.

{{spoiler}}
Prowl showed a lack of interest in both teamwork (as a loner type) and in the motivational (kinda long-winded) speeches of Optimus Prime. He did not obey orders at first and learned of the consequences firsthand as he was nearly killed by a nanite-enhanced cockroach. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}} After his revival at the hands of Sari and her Allspark-empowered key, he showed that he had become a valuable team player when he headed out with Bumblebee and Sari to save Professor Sumdac and Captain Fanzone.

Later, Prowl is watching a cat stalk a bird. He finds it fascinating, but is aggravated when he's interrupted by human fans. Returning to base he hides out in his Japanese themed room, only to be interrupted by Prime and Bumblebee. Even worse, Sari throws a slumber party and Prowl is pushed to the edge by the commotion. Ironically, when Megatron took over the factory, Prowl was able to show Bumblebee the value of stillness in battle, something the pair would work on later in a game of twister.

'''Optimus Prime''' is a relatively naive and idealistic young leader, prone to long winded "inspirational" speeches, who leads a small and inexperienced Autobot team under supervision from [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]]. Despite his humble "Bot Next Door" persona, he performs his job with a dedicated seriousness. He transforms into a fire engine and wields a kick-ass rocket-powered battle axe.

:Based on his pre-Earth Cybertronian look, the first version of ''Animated'' Optimus Prime transforms into a half-track cybertronic truck loosely based on the Mitsubishi Fuso Hybrid concept truck. As a half-track, instead of rear wheels, he has molded caterpillar linked tracks with smaller wheels inside for rolling along smooth surfaces. Prime's axe weapon is stored by partially folding the axe at the grey hinge near the handle peg, then placing the handle peg in a hole on the back of the cab (actually one of his fists) with the blade facing down and a grey peg facing up, acting as a 'fifth wheel' (known as a trailer hitch among fans) should one find a suitable trailer to attach onto it.

:In robot mode, his head has a retracted [[mouthplate]]. He has a superb range of articulation, as is the standard with ''Animated'' toys, due to the extensive use of ball joints and universal hinge joints.

'''Optimus Prime''' is a relatively naive and idealistic young leader, prone to long winded "inspirational" speeches, who leads a small and inexperienced Autobot team under supervision from [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]]. Despite his humble "Bot Next Door" persona, he performs his job with a dedicated seriousness. He transforms into a fire engine and wields a kick-ass rocket-powered battle axe.

Prime is most notably ''not'' the [[Supreme Commander]] of the Autobots, the faction showing a command structure similar to that in the [[Beast Era]]. His superiors include [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]]. He is apparently a graduate of some [[Autobot Academy|elite academy]]. When asked what he was doing in a mining crew, he gave no answer.

{{spoiler|Transform and Roll Out!}}

He and his crew eventually come across the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]] while repairing a [[Space Bridge]], and bring the artifact aboard their ship. During transport, they are discovered by the [[Decepticons]], and [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] comes after. He proves too strong to take head on (in spite of [[Starscream (Animated)|his subordinate]] planting a bomb on his chassis) but when the Autobot ship nears [[Earth]] Megatron is knocked overboard. The Autobots stay in stasis for the next 50 years until accidentally awakened by a strange incident. Optimus and the Autobots take on Earth vehicles as alternate modes and stop a giant bio-mechanical bug. They are hailed as heroes for it. Eventually, Starscream comes for the All Spark, and Optimus finds that the schemer can pack quite a punch. However the Autobot officer is able to keep Starscream from getting the artifact, at the cost of his life - although he was quickly revived by [[Sari]] via deus ex mac...er...her All Spark-influenced key. Later Autobots help rebuild parts of Detroit that were destroyed in Autobots battle with Starscream.{{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}}

:Based on his pre-Earth Cybertronian look, the first version of ''Animated'' Optimus Prime transforms into a half-track cybertronic truck loosely based on the Mitsubishi Fuso Hybrid concept truck. As a half-track, instead of rear wheels, he has molded caterpillar linked tracks with smaller wheels inside for rolling along smooth surfaces. Prime's axe weapon is stored by partially folding the axe at the grey hinge near the handle peg, then placing the handle peg in a hole on the back of the cab (actually one of his fists) with the blade facing down and a grey peg facing up, acting as a 'fifth wheel' (known as a trailer hitch among fans) should one find a suitable trailer to attach onto it.

:In robot mode, his head has a retracted [[mouthplate]]. He has a superb range of articulation, as is the standard with ''Animated'' toys, due to the extensive use of ball joints and universal hinge joints. As stated above, the the hitch assembly becomes his axe, and the truck roof is mounted on his left arm as a shield.

:Based on his Earth look, a futuristic fire truck. His rear portion transforms into a giant gun and wings, but you can remove it in both modes.{{comingsoontoy}}
