&lt;div&gt;==Meta-category==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;Tentative&#039; meta-category?  (So that one can periodically go through it and clear things out?) -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 22:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sandals and such==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m debating undoing the &amp;quot;not a Kiss Player&amp;quot; addition, but can&#039;t quite justify it based on the general humor tone of the rest of the wiki, so I&#039;ll leave it to someone else.  I&#039;m also tempted to change the picture caption, as I&#039;m pretty sure those aren&#039;t sandals.  (The dark orange parts of the feet appear to be the shoe uppers, rather than a differently colored part of her socks.)  However, that just seems ridiculously picky somehow.  If anyone else has a good idea about this, feel free to implement it, I guess.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 16:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I bet she is a robot thats why she has somehow managed to gain a connection to the All-Spark and also not be completly hated by the fandom yet [[User:Bobtherandomguy|Bobtherandomguy]] 00:19, 10 January 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adopted?==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m curious... what&#039;s the source for Sari being adopted? [[User:CarrerCrytharis|CarrerCrytharis]] 06:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I think it was her official bio. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 06:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::In the promo material that Unicron.com received, Sari&#039;s bio stated that she&#039;s adopted.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 07:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Well-liked character?==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;d really like to debate that she&#039;s &amp;quot;well-liked&amp;quot; so far - I personally hate her, the person I watch the show with hates her, and every Transformers fan I talk to hates her.  So unless we&#039;re of a gross minority, I think it&#039;s safe to say her appeal is not universal.  [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 09:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I don&#039;t hate her, therefore every fan doesn&#039;t hate her. You should try asking outside your social circle--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 13:21, 11 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::By no means was I trying to say that every fan hates her!  I&#039;m just personally annoyed by her being defined as a well-liked character when all of my fellow TF fans - including myself - hold no love for her.  And erm, I HAVE been asking outside my &amp;quot;social circle&amp;quot; and so far it&#039;s been nothing but &amp;quot;she&#039;s annoying&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;neutral.&amp;quot;  [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 20:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::My own social circle also seems to find her rather amusing, so no hate from me or mine.[[User:Pacce|Pacce]] 13:49, 11 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:Thus far, I kinda like her.  [[User:JW|JW]] 15:02, 11 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I certainly prefer her than most of the UT kids (certainly anything is better than Kicker). -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 16:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:She has a fairly unique interaction with the Autobots compared to past humans. She and Bumblebee make decent partners in crime, so I can see how this would appeal to kids.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;Talk&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;]] 16:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
: I personally like how she&#039;s the first girl in an American-made series to be &#039;&#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039;&#039; major human character, and she&#039;s a lot less annoying than any Witwiky, IMO.  --[[User:Nightshade83|Nightshade83]] 16:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::Tara Strong is awesome. That is all. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 17:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::This is true. Good writing + awesome voice actress = character that doesn&#039;t annoy me.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;Talk&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;]] 17:17, 11 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::See, I love Tara Strong to death, but that doesn&#039;t make me automatically love all the characters she plays.  The writing is decent (slightly above G1 level writing but not as good as, say, Avatar: The Last Airbender), but I find Sari&#039;s character to be little more than Generic Perky Girl with her Deus Ex Machina Key. I enjoyed Spike as a character more because he really WAS just a human, no &amp;quot;omg sekrit POWARZ&amp;quot; to make him more &amp;quot;interesting.&amp;quot;  [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 20:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Spike didn&#039;t have powers? The guy and his entire family probably have an allergy to Kryptonite, and then there&#039;s the Headmaster thing. Also, calling &#039;&#039;Animated&#039;&#039;&#039;s writing slightly better than G1 gives the G1 cartoon &#039;&#039;way&#039;&#039; to much credit.--[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 00:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::Well, Spike and the other Witwickys have 80s Cartoon Disease - just look at the other Hasbro show from the same time period, GI Joe.  They were all &amp;quot;human&amp;quot; in the same way.  But Spike never whipped out his wallet and used it to revive Optimus Prime.  And frankly, I find a lot of the plot devices in TF:CHINS just as laughable as G1, only now with uglier art and more obnoxious humans.  In fact, that&#039;s WHY I find it watchable - the writing is so similar to G1&#039;s lulzy improbability that I enjoy it immensely, or at least enough to ignore the terrible art.  Anyway, I&#039;m running speedily away from my point.  That is, I and every other TF fan I&#039;ve talked to absolutely despise Sari.  Calling her &amp;quot;well liked, more so than usual&amp;quot; on her Wiki page Does Not Compute for me.  It&#039;s fine to call her a &amp;quot;generally liked character&amp;quot; or even just &amp;quot;a popular human character,&amp;quot; but using the turn of phrase that&#039;s there now makes it seem like every TF fan everywhere absolutely adores her.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::::Hell, at this point I&#039;d even take Kicker.  At least his art style doesn&#039;t hurt my eyes. [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 01:25, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::Geez, give the art style a break already!  People bitching about the art style reminds me of when [[wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Zelda: Windwaker]] first came out for the Gamecube.  People dismissed the game as &amp;quot;kiddie&amp;quot; just because of the cell-shading style, but it was actually a very enjoyable game, just as challenging as any other in the Zelda series.  Actually, Sari reminds me very much of Tetra in that game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::Just give it a chance.  I actually prefer the stylized art over the overly-detailed 80&#039;s comic look of G1.  Plus, is Sari having her key really all that different than how the All Spark was used in the [[Transformers (2007)|Movie]]?  Both are miraculous objects that completely ignore all known laws of physics and can bring robots to life/fix said robots in about 3 seconds flat.  At least in a cartoon that&#039;s somewhat more acceptable.--[[User:Nightshade83|Nightshade83]] 01:35, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::I&#039;ve been giving it as much of a chance as I can.  And no, sorry - Wind Waker at least had a consistent art style (which I happen to like).  TF:CHINS is all over the place, and I have screencaps of Sari LOOKING COOL. Er, that is to say, looking so poorly drawn that it&#039;s laughable.  I mean, I mostly like TF:CHINS, I really do.  And the &amp;quot;but the movie did it!&amp;quot; excuse doesn&#039;t quite fly in this case, because the movie at least had the excuse of being directed by Michael Bay.  Oh, and the movie didn&#039;t use it EVERY HALF HOUR.  &#039;OHAI, it&#039;s a new episode, time for Sari to use her damn key for a totally random reason that in no way correlates to the way she used it last episode.&#039; ANYWAY, POINT STILL BEING: I don&#039;t like her!  She is annoying.  All others that I have spoken to share this opinion.  It is not reasonable to DEFINE her as &amp;quot;well liked, more so than usual.&amp;quot; [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 02:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::On this page, you are the only voice against.  If some more people speak up here with a negative opinion of her (preferably, people who are regular editors on this wiki), we&#039;ll most likely change the page.  [[User:JW|JW]] 03:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::Well, that&#039;s frustrating.  The only TF fans that count are the ones that edit this Wiki?  Lamesauce.  [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 05:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::No, but we&#039;re confident that fans who have contributed to this wiki aren&#039;t cranks shoutign their opinions at the top of their lungs and claiming everyone else agrees with them.  The sort of person that might, say, show up on the wiki and make no edits except one declaring that the entire fandom agrees with him, and then (upon discovering that many peopel ehre do not) accuse the regulars here of being out of step with transfandom.&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::I&#039;m not accusing you of this- the problem is that the vrank imposing his opinion on others and someone like yourself- actually (presumably) &#039;&#039;exressing&#039;&#039; the opinion of the majority-- are functionally impossible to distinguish in terms of behavior- they both show up out of the blue ont he wiki and make the same edits and have the same argument.  So we have to say &amp;quot;Gee, if &#039;&#039;everyone&#039;&#039; thinks this, do most of us think this?&amp;quot;  And if the answer&#039;s no, we&#039;ll usually revert sweeping statements.  It&#039;s possible that we might be &#039;&#039;wrong&#039;&#039; and actually are out of step with transfandom... but it&#039;s the best system we have to guard against minority bias. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 07:23, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::If you&#039;re not accusing me of this, why would you bring it up at all?  I never implied that I was expressing the opinion of any majority anywhere, merely another facet of TF fandom.  Please, feel free to re-read my comments.  I want her popularity to be downplayed a little because I feel that it&#039;s unjustifiably overblown in the article.   Also note that I have made no edits at all for good reason; I would much rather talk about this and hope a more experienced editor can see reason and accommodate both views.  I hardly think me signing up for the wiki to pop onto the talk page and debate a single line in the &amp;quot;Notes&amp;quot; section of one character qualifies me as an OMG SABOTEUR. (That&#039;s Jazz. lulz.) I&#039;m actually trying to be as least troll-like as possible here, but it&#039;s hard when I&#039;m surrounded by people who are obviously huge fans of the character. [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 02:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::Well we can&#039;t very well quantify &amp;quot;all others you have spoken to,&amp;quot; no?--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;Talk&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;]] 05:56, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::Has anyone actually quantified the &amp;quot;reasonably well-liked&amp;quot; comment, either? The fandom is rather sprawled these days, across multiple forums, so I would assume that there&#039;s probably no shortage of negative opinion about Sari out there. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 06:02, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::::I&#039;d quantify it as &amp;quot;is tolerated/considered mildly amusing.&amp;quot;  That&#039;s my opinion of Sari- she&#039;s okay-- and as kid-avatar character go she&#039;s astonishingly &#039;&#039;non&#039;&#039;-annoying.  So &#039;reasonably well liked.&#039;-[[User:Derik|Derik]] 07:23, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::::I feel justified in discounting the opinion of anyone who consistently refers to Animated as &amp;quot;TF:CHINS.&amp;quot; --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:07, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::::So because I use a comical nickname for the show, I&#039;m automatically discounted?  Wow.  I guess I&#039;ve been incredibly lucky, avoiding this elitist branch of TF-fandom thus far.  It looks like Michael is the only one here who is even willing to consider that there are TF fans that dislike this character. I&#039;m a long-time lurker here and love the wiki, but this is just terrible.  I&#039;m not asking for her page to say EVERYONE HATES SARI, SHE SUCKS - I&#039;m just asking that it not read like we all fall over at her feet.  [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 06:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::::::But people who refer to Hillary Clinton by derisive nicknames in the course of conversation about her can reasonably be construed to have a negative bias against her.  Thus casting doubt on your unbiased observation that everyone hates Sari.&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::::::Besides, you probably only hate her because she&#039;s a Paki. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 07:23, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::::::LOLWHUT?  I hate her for the reasons previously stated. Her race is a non-issue for me.  And I really don&#039;t consider TF:CHINS to be a &#039;derisive&#039; nickname, I consider it amusing and fitting for the CHIN-CENTRIC art. [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 08:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::::::::Derik was only kidding about the race thing. I think. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 14:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::::Leaving aside the question of why the opinion of a person who dislikes Animated&#039;s art style and uses a silly nickname while expressing said dislike should be automatically discounted, what I was trying to get at was this: How was the &amp;quot;Sari has been reasonably well liked, more so then usual&amp;quot; conclusion arrived at in the first place? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 06:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)    &lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::::::The &amp;quot;arglebarglebargleonlyrobotsoncybertron&amp;quot; folks have been conspicuously well-behaved of late.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;Talk&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;]] 06:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Right. So lets go back to the UT kids: Carlos with his racial stereotypes, Bud with his inability to stay focused on anything for more than two seconds, and Kicker, who was &#039;&#039;physically abusive toward the Autobots&#039;&#039;. Sure, those are the types of characters that I want representing my species. -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 02:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::Don&#039;t forget Fred&#039;s inability to go five minutes without junk food. Also, Chip Chase is superhuman. The man is immune to acid rain that brought Autobots to their knees and can tear an 5¼&amp;quot; floppy disc in hald with his bear hands.--[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 02:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Don&#039;t forget that if this show was Japanese, Sari would be making out with Bumblebee on a regular basis and the point of view would be consistently at a below-skirt level.  Personally, I love Sari.  Best human character in a TF series, as far as I&#039;m concerned. [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 08:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tyring to stay a bit on point here: The line &amp;quot;Sari has been reasonably well liked, more so then usual.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now from what I&#039;ve seen, it seems like some people like her, others dislike her (or just her Key-powers), and others seem fairly neutral about the character. The general reaction to the character I&#039;ve observed doesn&#039;t seem like anything particularly worth noting in her article.  --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 08:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:How about we modify it to say that she is one of the few human characters who have not caused a section of the Transformers fandom to declare holy war upon the human race in the Transformers fiction? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 14:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::Has &#039;&#039;anyone&#039;&#039; here besides [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] voiced an opinion that contradicts &amp;quot;reasonably well liked, more so than usual&amp;quot;?  If people don&#039;t like her deus ex machina key, that might make a valid separate point, but that&#039;s separate from liking her herself.  [[User:JW|JW]] 14:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::I think that not even Combobreaker has voiced an opinion contrary to the statement.  He doesn&#039;t like her, and the people he&#039;s talked to (before coming here) don&#039;t like her.  That doesn&#039;t make the statement inaccurate, because it is describing a generalized opinion of hundreds of active fans.  Apparently all the editors paying attention to this page feel that in &#039;&#039;their&#039;&#039; observations of other fans, Sari seems to have been better received than most humans.  The phrasing &amp;quot;reasonably well liked, more so than usual&amp;quot; doesn&#039;t even remotely mean &amp;quot;all the fans think she&#039;s great&amp;quot;.  It means exactly what it says -- she is liked more than most human characters, ie. the majority of the fandom does not despise her.  As a rule of thumb, Transformers fans (treated as a homogeneous group) hate human sidekicks.  There are certainly pockets of the fandom that hate Sari.  But she is, on average, *not* hated.  That is definitely worthy of note.  --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 15:52, 12 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::Okay, but where are we pulling this &amp;quot;on average?&amp;quot;  It can&#039;t be reasonably quantified any more than my own personal experiences with TF fans.  That is all I have been trying to get across here.  There&#039;s no link to any outside polls, discussions, or articles that talk about how popular she is with fans.  I find the &amp;quot;well liked, more so than usual&amp;quot; statement to be a little too all-encompassing for my tastes.  How about we just say she&#039;s &amp;quot;generally popular&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;mostly liked&amp;quot; instead? [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 02:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::8 or nine people in this discussion disagree with you, and none agree. I&#039;d call Sari pretty well liked unless the 8 or 9 of us are secretly the same guy. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 03:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::GAH, again with using this wiki&#039;s talk page to justify what&#039;s on the wiki!  Oh god, the wikiality is suffocating me.  Look, in wikis, you are supposed to cite references.  Just because the people that hang out on a character&#039;s talk page are ga-ga over said character does NOT mean that the rest of the fandom shares the same opinion.  I AM NOT TRYING TO MOVE MOUNTAINS HERE. Please re-read my comment. I want her to just be noted as being &amp;quot;generally popular&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;mostly liked!&amp;quot;  How horrible of me!  I&#039;m corrupting the TF fandom!  Jeez.  [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 03:06, 13 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::Dude, you&#039;re not kidding when you say you&#039;re skilled at stirring up drama!  As much as I do appreciate Sari as a character, you&#039;ve made it QUITE clear that not everone shares that opinion.  Maybe something along the lines of &amp;quot;mostly well-liked&amp;quot; would be a reasonable alternative, if everyone else agrees.--[[User:Nightshade83|Nightshade83]] 03:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::Yeah, what&#039;s really crazy is I&#039;m not even TRYING to stir up drama.  At this point I&#039;m convinced that almost everyone here is completely unwilling to acknowledge differing opinions in fandom - I really like your compromise and think that it would fit the real-world reception of her character.  (After all, others aside from me have noted in these comments that she is not universally liked!) However, it just seems like most people responding to me are overly hostile because I&#039;m new and have a different opinion.  I&#039;m getting called names for wanting a wiki article to be slightly edited? WTF? [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 07:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::I say leave it the way it is.  We shouldn&#039;t change the entry just because one loudmouth says we should.  Combobreaker, you say we aren&#039;t showing any polls or articles saying she is well liked.  Well... can you show us any polls or articles saying that she ISN&#039;T well liked? [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 05:54, 13 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::Again, point missed.  The way she&#039;s referred to in this article makes it seem as though every TF fan everywhere loves her.  They don&#039;t, and people other than me have said as much on this talk page.  [[User:Combobreaker|Combobreaker]] 07:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::We&#039;re also supposed to find consensus.  We think we &#039;&#039;have&#039;&#039;.  If you want to argue our consensus is not representative maybe &#039;&#039;you&#039;&#039; should be citing references to support &#039;&#039;your&#039;&#039; point. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 07:09, 13 February 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::I am so frustrated by this sort of attitude on any wiki.  Just because you are the majority here does not make you the majority everywhere else.  I am here representing a differing opinion, which, as NEITHER are easily citable I think BOTH are equally valid.  Your personal experience dictates that Sari is popular.  Fine, that&#039;s awesome.  My own personal experience - maybe because I talk almost exclusively to G1 fans - says that she&#039;s despised.  In this situation I think it&#039;s perfectly reasonable to just turn the love on her wiki down a notch, because right now it&#039;s going to 11.  I&#039;d like to at least see it backed off to an 8.

== &amp;quot;Perhaps the arm could be Sari&#039;s?&amp;quot; ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the new piece of Trivia, &amp;quot;In the first part of &amp;quot;Transform And Roll Out!&amp;quot;, Sari&#039;s father is seen constructing what appears to be a mechanical arm, before noticing Megatron falling from the sky. Perhaps the arm could be Sari&#039;s?&amp;quot;, I&#039;ve watched the clip and don&#039;t find it very likely. It looks more like an average robotic arm (one that looks similar to another hanging from Isaac&#039;s ceiling).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Opinions? ([[User:Tribor|Tribor]] 06:01, 10 July 2008 (UTC))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Yeah, even aside from the unlikelihood that Isaac was working on Sari at that point in time, that arm is much too big to be Sari&#039;s. -- [[User:Greenygal|Greenygal]] 10:42, 10 July 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: I&#039;m not sure about the arm, but in the intro special, they also happened to be working on nanobots. Even going through the whole spiel on fusing human and machine. Guess what Sari appears to be. [[User:Xevon|Xevon]] 06:32, 4 August 2008 (UTC) :And we saw how well THAT experiment worked. If he couldn&#039;t get down that process after Sari already existed, how could he have managed it to create her?--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 06:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:*There might have been a big difference between the technology and resources used to create Sari and the technology and resources that they were planning to use in mass production or for public use. Furthermore, if a lot of alien technology(such as technology that is far more advanced than their current technology) was used to make Sari, it could have become too conspicuous, especially if there was no proper introduction for the technology. This would mean that people such as the military or other corporations might start poking their fingers into Sumdac&#039;s source of inspiration. There is also the possibility that Sumdac had plucked spare parts right off Megatron, such as rare metals(especially those not readily found on earth) to make Sari, hence he couldn&#039;t make another attempt. Another possibility is that Sari is Sumdac&#039;s greatest life work, in whom he was pouring all his resources, skills and time and all his other creations are just scraps, spares and extras that he made so that he could support Sari in both her construction and her development. &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:124.106.181.0|124.106.181.0]] ([[User talk:124.106.181.0|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/124.106.181.0|contribs]]).&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;quot;[[brother]]&amp;quot; of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] as well as former [[Lord High Protector]] and co-ruler of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], &#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; is vicious, extremely powerful, single-minded in his goals, straight-forward and brutally direct. He is all &amp;quot;blunt force&amp;quot; in contrast to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream&#039;s]] penchant for deceit and trickery. On the downside, Megatron tends to become so obsessed with the object of his desires that he can ignore &amp;quot;secondary&amp;quot; matters, glaring flaws in his plans (otherwise, he likely wouldn&#039;t have melted into ice-cold arctic water after being white hot from falling through [[Earth]]&#039;s atmosphere, and spent ten-thousand years as a [[wikipedia:popsicle|popsicle]], and even crippling injuries in pursuit of the coveted item. Trying to talk Megatron out of blindly going for his goals is useless. He will risk his world, his troops, and even his own [[spark]] to achieve his goals; these things do not matter to Megatron. Even the destruction of the [[Autobot]]s is a secondary concern. In Megatron&#039;s cerebral processor, all that has become important are the whims of his [[The Fallen|master]] and, by extension, the [[All Spark]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While [[Megatron (disambiguation)|some]] merely dislike or disregard humans due to the incomprehensibility of organics being a dominant life form &#039;&#039;anywhere&#039;&#039;, Megatron feels a violent hatred towards them and seems to view them as only slightly above bacteria. Though his master suffered a very similar affliction due to the circumstances of his purpose of existence, Megatron&#039;s postulation is born from spending decades as a prisoner of sorts to them, causing a very extreme disdain. If there was no All Spark, it would not be much of a stretch to realize his ideals would have brought him to this planet anyway, just to cleanse one more planet of an &amp;quot;infection&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Defiance1 Megs Prime argument.jpg|left|350px|thumb|&amp;quot;Know your place, boy!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
High Protector Megatron, the supreme commander of the Cybertronian defense forces and firm leader of all of Cybertron, once ruled the entire planet seemingly side-by-side with Optimus Prime, protecting their world against all perceived hostile threats. For generations, the two ruled in peace—Megatron firm, with Prime being fair, creating an even (if sometimes strained) governmental balance. When Commander [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] returned from his patrol in the [[Eshems Nebula]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] was reporting on his science sector&#039;s continuing excavation of the site near the temple at [[Simfur]] and the unusual pulse waves that the [[All Spark]] had been emitting ever since work began. At the excavation site, while Optimus&#039; scientists were concerned with disturbing the ancient artifacts, all Megatron cared about was whether these relics might provide the same revitalising energy as the All Spark. He was nettled when Optimus asserted the sector&#039;s dominion over all scientific and archaeological discoveries and reminded his junior that it was his defence force that protected this world, demanding to be informed of all possible threats from the excavation&#039;s findings. When Optimus dared to remind Megatron of the military&#039;s treatment of such discoveries as hostile, Megatron told Optimus that when &#039;&#039;he&#039;&#039; tried to be the leader of Cybertron, he could make those decisions, not &#039;&#039;now&#039;&#039;. When a mysterious relic was discovered, Megatron ordered it removed at once, a demand that Optimus disagreed with. Just as the pair were about to launch into another argument, Cybertron fell under attack from Nebula inhabitants. Megatron had the relic quickly moved to his quarters under the guise of protecting it from the invaders. Arriving to find [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] seeking cover within the temple of Simfur, Megatron chastised their alleged lack of courage before he was hit by an alien tank vehicle. After destroying it, he told Starscream to keep Optimus&#039; team out of the military&#039;s way and staggered back to his quarters in the capital of [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]]. Drawn towards the relic, he ignored his injuries and scraped away at the layers of debris encrusting it before losing consciousness.  {{storylink|Defiance issue 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Defiance2_Megatron_warrally.jpg|thumb|250px|Mein Führer!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The relic used what little power it had left to repair Megatron&#039;s wounds. At first Megatron was angry, demanding the being to show himself to the Protector of all Cybertron. The relic explained that it was unable to do so without Megatron&#039;s help, and &#039;&#039;if&#039;&#039; he helped, the relic would make him &#039;&#039;&#039;Lord&#039;&#039;&#039; of Cybertron. The relic then fired beams of energy into Megatron&#039;s mind (turning his white optic sensors red), explaining what needed to be done, filling him with delusions of grandeur. When Optimus came looking for the Protector, Megatron had changed; he had become even more aggressive in his speech and demeanor, and what&#039;s more, he demanded Optimus gather his scientists to go to war. When Optimus explained the sector was not combat-trained, Megatron shot back that the scientists should have known what the aliens were after: the All Spark. Optimus refused, stating that the army&#039;s mission was of defense, and it went against everything their society was based upon to exacerbate war. Megatron slammed Optimus into the wall and stated that their society then needed to &#039;&#039;change&#039;&#039;. He held a massive saber-rattling war rally outside Trypticon, demanding vengeance upon the alien aggressors. He claimed that until the war ended, he would assume full control of the military, and everybody would answer only to him. Megatron ordered all flight-capable Cybertronians accompany him to the Eshems Nebula, where they launched a surprise attack against the still-unknown aliens. Megatron fought his way inside the alien flagship and personally executed the alien leader. He then ordered Starscream and his units to conduct a war of genocide: &#039;&#039;none&#039;&#039; of the aliens were to survive. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Defiance3_wearenowDECEPTICONS.jpg|thumb|left|200px|]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron returned from the front with news of their success and awaited further instructions from his master. The relic ordered Megatron to prepare the way for his return by expanding the army, and at the end, Cybertron would be Megatron&#039;s, while everything else the master&#039;s. Megatron was enraged when the relic informed him that Optimus had snooped inside his quarters while he was fighting the aliens, and convinced the Protector that Optimus was after the same power the relic had promised &#039;&#039;him&#039;&#039;. Now seeing that there were &amp;quot;enemies&amp;quot; within Cybertron as well as without, Megatron arranged to have the &amp;quot;traitors&amp;quot; taken care of by ordering [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]]&#039;s security team to arrest Optimus, and sent Starscream&#039;s soldiers to kill all bar Optimus. However, Megatron underestimated Optimus, who personally defeated Starscream&#039;s squad. Nonetheless, he used the survivors as propaganda that treacherous malcontents sought to betray them all, and declared that Megatron&#039;s followers would now be reformed under a new image and a new name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Decepticons&#039;&#039;&#039;.{{storylink|Defiance issue 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Optimus&#039; forces having eluded him for now, Megatron was given new orders by his master: build a [[Nemesis (ROTF)|mighty starship]] that would scour the stars for something very important to the relic&#039;s plans. The relic counseled Megatron to not make the same mistakes he did thousands of years ago, that his protege should strike without mercy or hesitation. The relic told Megatron the story of his mighty race, and how the All Spark granted them great power and created the Transformer race, but it needed to be recharged by draining the power of a sun using specially-constructed [[Solar harvester|harvester]] devices, and their under-construction starship would be used to search for the last harvester in the galaxy. When Megatron presumed to believe he would accompany his master, he was rebuked and punished. Much later, the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; was finally completed, the relic praising Megatron for his fine work, and ordering him to stay behind to continue the war. Over the next thousand years, the Autobots and Decepticons clashed in a bloody struggle until Optimus Prime made his most dangerous gamble. During an assault on the Autobots personally led by Megatron and his hound, [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], the tyrant crushed an Autobot opponent&#039;s spark before casually tossing his corpse over his shoulder. He declared that the All Spark would be his, to which Blackout assured his leader that he would personally see to it. Megatron was pleased by his minion&#039;s loyalty, but decided to dispatch him to assist Starscream&#039;s unit to prevent Optimus Prime&#039;s reinforcements from entering Tyger Pax. He then left to meet his destiny, but it slipped from his grasp; Prime had commissioned the All Spark to be launched into the abyss of outer space. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Prime Directive (IDW) issue 1}} {{storylink|Planetfall}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie Megatron Targetcomic sure.jpg|left|150px|thumb|&amp;quot;Sit, boy — or I&#039;ll beat you to death.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:MovieMegatron Bumblebee torture comic.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Better get some ice on that.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After realizing [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] had stalled him from claiming the Cube so the operation could be completed, Megatron tore off Bumblebee&#039;s arm—removing his weapon—and crushed his voice box, destroying his vocal processors so that the young Autobot would never speak of the affront to his destiny. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Prime Directive (IDW) issue 1}} Megatron, believing Prime to be a desperate, inexperienced fool, gave chase. On the way, he detected the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;s&#039;&#039; distress signal and soon found the mighty starship on a barren world, abandoned by all but his master. Megatron was berated for allowing the Cube to slip away from his grasp and ordered to thoroughly continue his chase. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}} As Megatron tracked the All Spark through space, he mused about his reasons for the war and how he and his &amp;quot;brother&amp;quot; were not all that different, as seen by Optimus&#039; sentencing their home to a slow death by launching the Cube into space. Tracing the All Spark via energy signature to [[Earth|a primitive world]], he lost contact with it upon atmospheric entry and crashed into the planet&#039;s icy northern pole. Low on [[Energon (fuel)|energon]], his safety buffers exhausted, Megatron went into stasis lock. Millennia later, [[Archibald Witwicky]], the leader of the National Arctic Circle Expedition, discovered Megatron buried deep in the ice. Unfortunately, the soon-blinded Witwicky was eventually driven insane by what he saw, attracting the attention of a mysterious [[Sector Seven|group]] that sought to discredit his story and seize the mysterious &amp;quot;Ice Man&amp;quot;. Six years later, they found the Cube. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 2|Prime Directive (IDW) issue 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Earth year of 1935, Megatron was moved to [[Hoover Dam]], in extremely close proximity to the All Spark&#039;s final resting place, where he would remain imprisoned for the next seven decades. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 3|Prime Directive (IDW) issue 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The All Spark had not been blindly launched into space, however—its trajectory was leading it directly towards the [[Alkaris Anomaly]], a wormhole that could potentially transport the cube to any one of an infinite number of locations in the universe. Megatron was fully capable of catching up to the cube before it would enter the wormhole, but as he passed Cybertron&#039;s moon, he found himself ensnared by an Autobot tractor beam of remarkable strength that pulled him down to the moon&#039;s surface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enraged by the ignominy of it all, Megatron turned his weapons on the Autobots responsible, but quickly calmed down enough to realize that this was only playing into their hands, and instead ordered [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] to take his place in the battle. Megatron swooped back into space, hot on the All Spark&#039;s heels, but was unable to stop the cube from falling through the anomaly. Determined to have the All Spark&#039;s power, Megatron chose to enter the wormhole himself, only to be spat out in some far-off star system, with no trace of the All Spark... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This led into Prime Directive #2.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{notetitantlg}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In another reality, he defeated Optimus at [[Mission City]], killed Sam Witwicky and took control of the All Spark. He was fully linked to it and drew on its power—&amp;quot;It is me and I am it!&amp;quot;—giving him greater might and the ability to heal any wound. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After conquering an unknown chunk of Earth (including the entire [[United States of America]]) with [[Dropkick]] as his second-in-command, he used the All Spark&#039;s power to start turning Earth from an organic world into a new Cybertron. Optimus Prime lay frozen in the [[Hoover Dam|old Sector Seven base]], Autobot resistance was scattered, and NATO&#039;s threat to nuke occupied America was hardly much of one. [[Image:Megatron Bumbleslap.jpg|left|350px|thumb|&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Sigh&#039;&#039; Even mindless violence seems boring today...&amp;quot;]] The only thing bothering Megatron was those rebels breaking into Hoover Dam... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part: 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron personally arrived to face [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and hunted for him, trying to bait him into appearing. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Realising the Autobot must have come with a human ally, he deliberately threatened to go after the human and thus got an emotional Bumblebee to make a defiant attack... at which point he backhanded Bumblebee into the wall and prepared to eviscerate him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} He gave the Autobot a chance at a swift death if he begged for mercy, and was quite impressed when Bumblebee merely asked &amp;quot;that all you got?&amp;quot;, but was less impressed when Autobot reinforcements arrived. [[Image:Megatron Titan12.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Megatron&#039;s BDSM Dungeon just wasn&#039;t meeting expectations.]] He effortlessly smashed them aside and was about to kill [[Skyblast (Movie)|Skyblast]] when a new challenger arrived: the revived Optimus! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part: 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Optimus Prime got the snot beaten out of him, every attack he landed on Megatron being repaired by All Spark power. However, he distracted Megatron long enough for Bumblebee to hit him with the &#039;&#039;other&#039;&#039; thing they&#039;d broken into the Dam for: Sector Seven&#039;s greatest weapon, a nanovirus that targeted All Spark operation frequencies. Infected, the tyrant was consumed from within by his own power and collapsed dead.  {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight&#039;s Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or so it appeared. He&#039;d downloaded his mind into the All Spark interface module, knowing Starscream would take it and assimilate it into himself. And so Megatron was able to be a voice in Starscream&#039;s head for weeks and weeks—and finally, when Starscream had suffered a setback and wanted a plan to stop the Autobots, Megatron gave him one: to let him out... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Starscream didn&#039;t, he &#039;&#039;did&#039;&#039; follow Megatron&#039;s tactical suggestions. He had the Decepticons use both carrot (promise of truce) &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; stick (multiple attacks) to make the US government, prompted by [[Theodore Allen|the mind-controlled President Allen]], boot out the Autobots—and then nuke them as they left, giving the Decepticons a clear shot at reconquest! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} This plan backfired when [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] intervened, and Megatron visited a broken, gibbering Starscream to once again tell him the only way out was to release him and let him walk the Earth again. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}} &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Starscreamseesthings_Titan25.jpg|left|350px|thumb|&#039;&#039;You&#039;re looking throooough me...&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This time Starscream &#039;&#039;did&#039;&#039;... much to his dismay when he realised what he&#039;d done. And so, when Stockade&#039;s New Decepticons stormed the [[Decepticon Heartland]], Megatron was there to &amp;quot;greet&amp;quot; them with fiery death!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron fought Stockade in single combat, and [[Nucleon]]-fueled punches rained down on him—only for him to &#039;&#039;grab&#039;&#039; a punch and use the momentum to hurl his opponent, berating him for lacking clear ambition to support his strength. This fight would&#039;ve carried on except then the Autobots turned up. Trashing a rebellion, conquering Earth, &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; killing Optimus Prime in one day?! WOOOOO!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Optimus drew first blood, and before Megatron could truly fight back, he was forcibly teleported with his Decepticons to Cybertron. A dead Cybertron. A dead Cybertron that itself teleported to an unknown area of space, leaving them trapped with no way back and no way off, &#039;&#039;forever&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;The Ice Man&amp;quot; was kept in deep freeze by [[Sector Seven]] in their super-secret [[Sector Seven High Arctic Base|High Arctic Base]] until they decided to move him closer to the [[All Spark|Allspark]] in 1969. The convoy was disrupted when the driver of the lead truck spun out causing the rest of the vehicles to pile up on the icy roads. It was determined later that the driver was the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] spy [[Sergei Tasarov]] who had taken the place of the Sector Seven agent Peter Hodgson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the convoy prepared their defenses and a Soviet strike force attacked trying to obtain the Ice Man. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron came partially online, it was obvious that some time had passed. Not only was he encased in a primitive transport, but there were [[Human|lifeforms]] fighting over him. Before Megatron could properly exterminate them, another crude transport crashed into his, causing a massive (but not spark-threatening) explosion. Megatron would have been pleased to know that the fire only added to his terrifying visage in the eyes of the maggots. Regaining his composure, Megatron noticed [[Phillip Nolan|an insect]] standing near him. As Megatron reached out to grab it, [[Thomas Kinnear|another insect]], this one terminally damaged, began firing crude projectiles which his body armor easily deflected. Waiting until after the creature had expended its ammunition, Megatron grabbed it in his hand, only to discover that it had packed itself with explosives, which threw Megatron to the ground when they detonated. Then, the aforementioned first insect began spraying liquid nitrogen on Megatron, causing him to go back into stasis. Unable to escape, Megatron screamed a dark vengeance upon his captors. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron eventually succeeded in tracking the All Spark to [[Earth]], where he rather embarrassingly crash-landed in the Arctic Circle and was frozen solid for thousands of years. In 1897, some 100 Earth-years before the arrival of the other Transformers, he was discovered by an explorer named [[Archibald Witwicky|Archibald Amundsen Witwicky]]. Captain Witwicky accidentally activated Megatron&#039;s navigation system and caused the coordinates of the All Spark to be etched onto the explorer&#039;s glasses. Megatron remained imprisoned in the Arctic, until the 1930s, when he was dug out by the United States government and moved to a secret [[Sector Seven]] stronghold inside [[Hoover Dam]]. In the years that followed, many modern devices (by Earth standards) were reverse-engineered from his frozen body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie Megatron breakout.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Mace isn&#039;t for spraying, it&#039;s for hitting.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the present day, having searched the galaxy for the All Spark and being drawn to Earth, the remaining Decepticons learned of Witwicky&#039;s glasses. Through the Internet, they determined the location of both Megatron and the All Spark inside Hoover Dam. [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] infiltrated the dam and shut down the power systems, while Starscream attacked the external powerlines, resulting in Megatron&#039;s thawing out. Once again online, the leader of the Decepticons informed the worthless insects of his true name, shouting &amp;quot;I am Megatron!&amp;quot; (to clear up all that N.B.E.-01/Ice Man nonsense), randomly killed a few of them while destroying his former prison, then transformed and flew off after the All Spark again. He met up with Starscream on the outside, and, never one for pleasantries, demanded to know where the Cube was. Upon learning that the humans had moved the All Spark, Megatron berated Starscream for yet another failure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie2007_Megatron_Starscream.jpg|thumb|left|250px|You fail me once again Starscream... will I ever meet [[Starscream (Shattered Glass)|a Starscream that is truly loyal?]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Starscream and Devastator&#039;s opening attacks in [[Mission City]], Megatron arrived, and again declared his name (he really wants people to know who he is). The Autobots were so panicked by the sight of their long lost nemesis that [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] called for a temporary retreat. Megatron blasted [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] away when the diminutive Autobot attempted to attack, then threw him into the air before crushing him on top of a tower with his clawed talons. Jazz vainly fought on, asking if Megatron wanted a &amp;quot;piece&amp;quot;, but doing little damage to Megatron. The Decepticon leader killed the Autobot by tearing him in half, callously declaring that he wanted &amp;quot;two&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie Megatron jetmode cityfight.jpg|250px|thumb|Whoa, that energon&#039;s not settling too well.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As [[Sam Witwicky|the human boy]] ran off with the All Spark, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to [[Decepticons, attack|attack]]. Devastator attacked the armed insects, while Starscream and [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] fought [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and Ratchet for the All Spark. At that moment, Optimus Prime appeared and challenged Megatron. Millennia in the ice had done nothing to lessen the animosity Megatron felt for his brother, however. Barely managing to growl out Prime&#039;s name, he transformed and flew at Prime at full speed. The Autobot leader leapt and grabbed a hold of Megatron, who slammed him into a building before flying right through a skyscraper. Both leaders landed in the middle of an intersection, but Megatron was the first to recover and leaped upon his brother, snarling that the humans were undeserving of life. Optimus Prime replied that they had the right to choose for themselves before he threw his brother off. Megatron declared that if Prime wished to defend them, he should &amp;quot;join them in extinction&amp;quot;, forming his [[fusion cannon]]. Before he could fire, the Autobot leader drew his [[ion blaster]] and fired, hitting Megatron. The Decepticon leader shrugged off this attack, spun around from the momentum and fired his cannon, throwing Optimus Prime into the side of a building.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie Megatron Samonroof.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Oh look I found a stray human... wonder if I can keep him as a pet... come on boy, don&#039;t be scared. I&#039;ll take you to a new home.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron pursued the young human who had removed the All Spark from Hoover Dam, destroying everything that stood in his way. The boy ran to a dilapidated building that was the designated coordinates for a human military evacuation team, and Megatron smashed his way through, yelling that he could smell the human maggot. Starscream destroyed the helicopter intended to take the All Spark, and Megatron burst through the floor, inquiring if it was courage or fear that compelled him. Finally cornering him on a ledge, Megatron offered that if the human gave him the All Spark, the boy might live as [[Ravage (G1)|his]] [[Laserbeak (G1)|pet]]. The Decepticon leader relished the human&#039;s defiant refusal and destroyed the ledge the human was standing upon, sending the boy tumbling to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie2007_Prime_Megatron.jpg|thumb|250px|Get up, so I can knock you back down!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, the human was caught by Optimus Prime, who then tried to escape down the side of the building before Megatron tackled him and sent all three slamming into the pavement. As a nearby [[Michael Bay|human bystander]] attempted to run, the Decepticon expressed his disgust at the insect&#039;s proximity and flicked it away. Protecting the young boy, Prime declared that their war would end here and it was now just between the two brothers. Though lusting for the All Spark, Megatron decided to indulge his brother&#039;s obvious death wish, declaring that only he was in this fight. Despite Optimus Prime&#039;s best efforts, Megatron was relentless, matching the Autobot leader with blow after devastating blow until he collapsed. Adding insult to injury, Megatron informed Prime that his defense of the &amp;quot;weak&amp;quot; was the real reason he lost.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticon leader turned his attention back to the human boy, but was suddenly attacked by the human fighter jets and [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]]&#039;s ground soldiers firing sabot rounds. Optimus took this chance, striking Megatron and knocking him down. His armor a damaged, shattered mess, Megatron ignored the punishment and focused on the human boy, growling that he would kill the boy and that the All Spark was his. As Optimus Prime ordered the boy to place the All Spark into his chest, the human instead pushed it into the now-exposed [[spark]] in Megatron&#039;s chest, overloading him with energy and extinguishing the Decepticon&#039;s life force. As Optimus Prime stood over Megatron&#039;s lifeless shell, watching the light flicker out of his brother&#039;s [[Sensors#Optical sensors|optics]], he remarked somberly, yet remorsefully, that Megatron had left him no choice, and removed a shard of the All Spark from his brother&#039;s spark cavity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron&#039;s body was dumped into the [[Laurentian Abyss]] at its deepest point, along with the remains of the other Decepticons, where the near-freezing temperatures would, hopefully, keep them dormant indefinitely. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}&lt;br /&gt;

In the aftermath of the battle in Mission City, [[Sector Seven]] hauled away Megatron&#039;s corpse along with the other Decepticon bodies. The clandestine human organisation brought the bodies to a secret facility in the Nevada desert, with the intention of getting every bit of information they can out of the dead Decepticons before they were forced to dump them into the sea. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}} When he arrived to oversee the burial of those who fell in Mission City, Optimus Prime noticed the surviving All Spark fragment glowed when near Megatron&#039;s body, and gave it to [[Professor Vine]] for safekeeping. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}} Weeks later, Megatron, along with Blackout, was dumped into the Laurentian Abyss. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ROTFMegatronRising.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Now, where&#039;s Starscream? I want to give him a piece of my mind.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] tapped into a conversation between [[NEST]] and General [[Morshower]], listening to Director [[Theodore Galloway]] mention that 1) a shard of the [[All Spark]] was in storage in [[Diego Garcia]] and 2) Megatron&#039;s body lay in the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was sent to steal the shard, and swam to the Abyss with [[Scalpel]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] and another Constructicon. Scalpel ordered spare parts be used to repair Megatron&#039;s body with the unnamed Constructicon, who was torn apart by his larger brethren, and then struck Megatron with the shard: the Decepticon leader was reborn as a Cybertronian tank with flight capabilities. Megatron flew up to the surface, striking a submarine on his way, before journeying into space to find the &#039;&#039;[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the ruined ship, Megatron chastised [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] for leaving him to die on Earth, although Starscream defended that he had to take care of the [[hatchlings]], who were dying without [[energon (fuel)|energon]]. Megatron met up with [[the Fallen]], who was free of his sarcophogus but still weakened and in a life support chair. Megatron told his master he had failed to secure the All Spark, but The Fallen told of another energon source on Earth, which had been hidden with the mind of the boy who killed Megatron. Before they could act, however,  Megatron was ordered to kill [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], who was the last of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], which made him the only one that could kill the Fallen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ROTFPrimePunch.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Not the face! Don&#039;t hurt the face!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron sprang a trap, dispatching [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] to take [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Leo Spitz]] to him at an abandoned factory. Although Megatron would have rather killed Sam slowly and painfully, Sam had valuable information as to the energon source&#039;s location in his mind, which he had received from his own All Spark fragment. Scalpel&#039;s probes confirmed The Fallen&#039;s claims, and Megatron ordered Scalpel to get it out. Just as Scalpel was ready to dissect Sam&#039;s brain, Optimus and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] burst in to rescue the humans. Optimus drove Sam to a forest, with Megatron in hot pursuit. The Autobot and Decepticon leaders transformed and battled as Sam fled. Starscream and Grindor arrived to aid their commander, as Megatron told Prime that Sam could lead them to another energon source. Kicking off his [[mouthplate]] and blasting him, Megatron asked Prime if the boy was worth the future of the Cybertronians. Prime replied that he&#039;d never stop at one, the took on all three Decepticons. Surprisingly, he was winning, stabbing Megatron multiple times. As a weary Prime tore Grindor apart, Megatron stabbed him in the back and blasted him: Prime fell, mortally wounded. As Megatron moved for the boy, the rest of the Autobots arrived and provided enough cover for Bumblebee to spirit Sam away. Already injured from the battle with Prime, Megatron and Starscream were forced to retreat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ROTF_movie_MegatronStarscream_roofchat.jpg|thumb|right|250px|&amp;quot;That&#039;s IT! No more Mr. Nice Megatron!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;quot;But you were never-&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;quot;SHUT UP!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Prime dead, Megatron decided it was time to end their secret war, and had the rejuvenated Fallen broadcast a message to deliver Sam to them across the planet. Megatron himself broadcasted the Fallen&#039;s message by rewiring the [[Empire State Building]]&#039;s radio tower. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ROTFMegatronSam.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Hey, he stole my purse! Wallet! I mean wallet!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He then flew to [[Egypt]], where nineteen thousand years before, the Fallen had built a [[Solar harvester]] to harness the [[Sun]] for energon. Megatron ordered [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] to destroy the pyramid that was built over the harvester, while he himself chased Sam for the [[Matrix of Leadership]], which would activate the harvester. Megatron almost killed Sam, but was overwhelmed by human gunfire, and flew off. The Fallen managed to take the Matrix and activate the harvester, but it had already been used to resurrect Optimus. Optimus combined with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and destroyed the harvester, leading to a two on one match with Megatron and the Fallen battling Prime. This one went better for Optimus than the last one, as he used Megatron&#039;s own cannon to blast half his face off, and then severed the arm. Finally, Optimus used his afterburners to send Megatron hurtling through some ruins, ending his role in the battle. Megatron was so damaged he could barely call out for &amp;quot;Tharscweam!&amp;quot;, but it soon mattered little as Optimus Prime killed the Fallen. Horrified at the loss of the power behind the Decepticons, Megatron acknowledged Starscream&#039;s advice that they should flee, but noted that &amp;quot;This is &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; over.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|Adaptations based on early drafts of the script show Megatron hoped to become a Prime under the Fallen. However, during Optimus&#039; final battle with the ancient villain, he revealed Primes were born, not made. Here, Megatron was angered that he had been misled, refusing to aid his master and vowed never to serve anyone again. Optimus is revealed to be an orphan who was &amp;quot;hidden&amp;quot; from The Fallen, further indicating he is not biologically related to Megatron. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (novel)}} {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation}}}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Autobot campaign====&lt;br /&gt;
After arriving at Hoover Dam, Bumblebee saw Megatron and the All Spark being held in the same room, which was guarded by lasers. After bringing down the lasers, Bumblebee managed to shrink the All Spark, while under fire by Megatron. Following the Autobots to Mission City, Megatron ignominiously &amp;quot;flicked&amp;quot; Bumblebee away, then tried to grab the All Spark from Sam. Optimus Prime arrived and the two fought in the Mission City park. After Prime believed that he had destroyed Megatron, Sam handed the All Spark to Prime, but Megatron jumped into the air with his flail, making one last attempt at nailing Prime. Prime caught the flail in its path and yanked Megatron towards him, shoving the All Spark into his chest. Pretty ruthless there, Prime, pretty ruthless.  {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Decepticon campaign====&lt;br /&gt;
After learning Megatron&#039;s location, Blackout and Starscream sabotaged the dam&#039;s power, allowing Megatron to thaw out and awaken. After Megatron emerged, Starscream and Blackout bowed before their Lord, who declared that they had much to do. After the Decepticons dispatched the Autobots, Megatron, hoping to draw Prime out, went on a rampage in Mission City, declaring that the city would burn beneath his feet (this means toastie toes, but he&#039;s willing to make that sacrifice). Megatron and Prime played a game of cat and mouse, with Megatron tracking Prime and Sam, until Megatron finally destroyed Prime, then merged the All Spark with his spark, becoming even more powerful in the process (...wait, what?). After decimating Earth, Megatron took the [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln Memorial]] as his throne, then ordered Starscream, Brawl, and Barricade to finish the planet, before going on to conquer the galaxy. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Transformers: Autobots&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Having landed on Earth some thousands of years ago, Megatron is thought to be frozen somewhere in the Arctic.  As the Autobots look for clues as to his location, they eventually arrive in the frozen desert long enough to realize the humans have found him, as well as the [[All Spark|AllSpark]] (sic). Once they hack into the communications array at the base, they find documentation leading to the Hoover Dam, where the Autobots and Decepticons race. Some wishing to free him, most hoping to destroy him, the Transformers fight over the base until the Decepticon leader is finally freed. Once out of cryo-storage, Megatron proceeds to steal the AllSpark from the Autobots and begin a destructive rampage through Tranquility, until he is finally defeated by Optimus Prime and [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-A-Bot]].  {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Transformers: Decepticons&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
With Megatron frozen in the Hoover Dam, the Decepticons fight to free their leader. However, as is quickly made apparent, Starscream and his young protege, a [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Create-A-Bot]], seek to eliminate their leader. This quickly changes, as Create-A-Bot is convinced by Barricade to free their commander, as Starscream is a back-stabbing bureaucrat while Megatron is a truly zealous leader. Even though both would kill you in an instant, Megatron would at least do it to your face so you could see it coming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once free, Megatron quickly takes the time to wipe out Jazz, who has been left at the bridge to help get rid of Megatron. After a fairly short battle, Megatron smashes Jazz into the dirt, leaving him to die.  Back in Tranquility, he chases after Starscream, only to be blocked by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. Once the sibling rivalry is finished, Prime is left in pieces in the streets of Tranquility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriving in the Casino Strip, Megatron finds Create-A-Bot damaged and Starscream flying away. Giving chase, he attacks his traitorous second-in-command, nearly destroying him despite his awesome All Spark driven powers. Starscream uses his last breath to insult Megatron before being killed by the tyrant. Returning to Create-A-Bot&#039;s side, Megatron takes a moment to call him a weakling and a failure, completely forgetting about the fact that Create-A-Bot saved him, led him to Starscream, destroyed the Autobots, and served him more loyally than most of his other followers. Taking a moment to let this sink in, Megatron went on to tell him that the weak are made to serve the strong, then ripped the young Decepticon apart and ate his Spark.  Megatron then took off into the sky with intentions unknown. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Decepticons}}&lt;br /&gt;

:Legends class Megatron is the smallest mainline &#039;&#039;Movie&#039;&#039; Megatron toy, and boy, does it show. Even with Megatron&#039;s relatively simple transformation sequence, the sheer simplicity of the Legends class toy means that his vehicle mode is basically his robot mode splayed out, and again, boy is it &#039;&#039;obvious&#039;&#039;. His robot mode is passably accurate, if by accurate one means he is now a hunchback with wings for legs, Dustbusters for hands, and an unchanged Alien Queen-esque head design.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MD-14&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Projectile&lt;br /&gt;
:Voyager Class Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his Cybertronic jet, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of &#039;ice&#039; plastic covering them. With a significantly different (and simple compared to other figures of the same pricepoint) transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm. His wings feature flip-out &amp;quot;ice blades&amp;quot;, and pulling on a piece in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like pincer claws. This design is remarkably similar to his Predacon- incarnation toys. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Something interesting to note is that his feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two &amp;quot;rear toes&amp;quot; on each feet automatically close up when he&#039;s not standing up. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing, as the feet&#039;s parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance. &lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;Premium Series&amp;quot; Voyager Class, 2007)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Projectile&lt;br /&gt;
:One of the first figures available in the &#039;&#039;Premium Series&#039;&#039; (although not explicitly identfied on the packaging as such), Voyager Class Megatron was released exclusively at Best Buy on October 16th, 2007 alongside the North American launch of the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; movie DVD. Megatron has been completely redecoed, covering most of his previously grey parts with metallic silver paint and a black paint wash over the top of that. Black and gold highlights are used to offset all of the silver, while the transparent &#039;ice&#039; parts are clear. These changes essentially make Megatron far more accurate to his movie appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Megatron is presented in robot mode inside a special display box similar in shape to the packaging for the Hasbro release of &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Projectile&lt;br /&gt;
:A Target exclusive [[repaint]] of Voyager Class Megatron in primarily beige and chocolate brown colors with brown paintwashes, this version replaces the ice colored translucent plastic with two shades of translucent orange to replicate a look that resembles Megatron&#039;s firey demise (or atmospheric re-entry). Unlike the previous releases, this version&#039;s wings are painted to match the body color, so they give the appearance of molten slag. This version was only available in a two-pack with a mostly unchanged Deluxe Class [[Jazz (Movie)|Final Battle Jazz]] in reference to their fight on the skyscraper featured in the film. As the colors on this Megatron are very similar to the colors on the Screen Battles version of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], it might be assumed that those two sets are meant to also represent the climactic final battle at the end of the film.&lt;br /&gt;

====Leader Class toys====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie Leader Megatron toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Leader Class, 2007)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MD-07&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:Leader Class &#039;&#039;Movie&#039;&#039; Megatron transforms into a silver Cybertronic assault jet. He is quite accurate to the CGI design... except for the giant mass of legs attempting (but failing) to hide under the wings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, Megatron&#039;s sculpt is quite accurate, or as accurate as a toy based on his CG design can be. However, his paint decoration is quite inaccurate, with blue highlights on various parts of his body, possibly to allude to his pre-frozen state and to give a relatively monochromatic figure more color. More confusing is his jet black face, which obscures the sculpt&#039;s details and is inaccurate to the movie appearance&#039;s gunmetal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Megatron&#039;s right fist disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable &amp;quot;chain whip&amp;quot; weapon concealed within his forearm; pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a &amp;quot;[[fusion cannon]],&amp;quot; with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon&#039;s [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Megatron&#039;s instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be centre-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:There is an error in Megatron&#039;s legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation. In addition to &#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039;, both of Megatron&#039;s hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are molded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the &#039;outside&#039; of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging&#039;s stock photos show the correct assembly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Geez&#039;&#039;, [[Hasbro]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Possibly a dropped feature [[for safety reasons]], the right fist (partly a projectile tethered to the arm) is designed to launch out of his wrist via a spring-loaded firing mechanism. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was removed, though the firing trigger remains. One can either find a compatible spring or steal the spring in his left arm fusion cannon, then place it in his right forearm, though this disables his fusion cannon-retracting Automorph.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;Premium Series&amp;quot; Leader Class, 2008)&lt;br /&gt;
:Premium Megatron is a redeco of the previously released Leader class Megatron. The figure is now given far more movie-accurate paint applications of black, gold, &amp;amp; silver. Premium Megatron also features the classic transformation sound when the chest Automorph function is activated. The original &amp;quot;metal shriek&amp;quot; sound is retained when the sound button is pressed in vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the promotional photos of the toy, this version was pictured with a new vehicle mode face cover that fit the new head better. However, this retool was apparently dropped before actual production but can still be seen on the box back photography. All manufacturing errors from the first release are still present.&lt;br /&gt;

:Fusion Blast Megatron is a simple version of Megatron with dorky-looking proportions in robot mode, and it turns into an even dorkier-looking vehicle mode. The transformation sequence manages to be even more simple and non-involved than the other &#039;&#039;Movie&#039;&#039; Megatron toys by means of an Automorph feature very similar to the early Beast Wars flipchangers. Moving his back section down causes the torso to flip up, hiding the head and positioning the arms skywards. Though the figure requires a little more repositioning and folding, most of the transformation is done with a single step.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Fusion Cannon&lt;br /&gt;
:As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of Megatron is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie&#039;s CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, though the elbows only turn from side-to-side, giving him extremely limited arm articulation. His forearms can be replaced with his fusion cannon accessory (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). &lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Titanum&#039;&#039; Megatron is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the CG model owing to the fact he doesn&#039;t need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders, neck and waist. Megatron comes with a Movie-style Decepticon symbol display stand.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Megatron transforms from a reasonably accurate version of his movie robot mode to a reasonably accurate version of his tank mode (with a teeny extra Megatron face in his groin). He has ball-jointed shoulders and hips in robot mode, plus elbow and knee joints. His alt-mode turret is formed by merging his left and right arms, which is a neat callback to the first movie&#039;s fusion cannon, but means the turret can&#039;t rotate.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The second mainline &#039;&#039;[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; Megatron toy is more accurate in terms of sculpt than the larger Leader class Megatron, as it was based (more or less) on the finalized Megatron design, and as such, features a sleeker tank mode, a large lobster-claw like right arm and a normal-sized left arm. It is unknown why he is cast in green plastic in the stock photos, as fortunantly he was cast in a (veeerry greenish) gunmetal color for mass release.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The first and largest &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Megatron toy is actually one of the more inaccurate. While Megatron&#039;s body is generally true to the final CG design, his arms are actually from early concept designs where Megatron had a right arm that deployed a sword and also had a very thin, gimpy-looking left arm, as opposed to the final Megatron CG&#039;s crab pincer/fusion cannon right arm and normal-sized left arm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Megatron transforms into a cybertronic tank, though it is not as sleek and aerodynamic as the design it was based upon. In robot mode, Megatron&#039;s entire lower right arm is a spring-loaded missile launcher and the tank turret&#039;s armour/shroud can be positioned over to partially cover the cannon, with flip-out sword blade, as seen in the early concept design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Pressing the Decepticon symbol-emblazoned button on his chest activates his light, [[Mech Alive]] and voice sound effects, which yells &amp;quot;I am Megatron!&amp;quot; The European release (being sold in various non-english speaking countries) proclaims just simply &amp;quot;Megatron!&amp;quot; with laughter.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Megatron bubblebath.jpg|right|120px|thumb|&amp;quot;This is why I hate merchandising.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Megatron&#039;s torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle the forces of good. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He&#039;s removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist. Like many pieces of Megatron merchandise, this &amp;quot;figure&amp;quot; uses the older head design with blue eyes.  The blue eyes are also the only spot of paint on him, unlike the elaborately decoed Prime.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; Burger King free toy (2007)&lt;br /&gt;
:A non-transformable version of Megatron, cast primarily in gray plastic. The toy&#039;s entire &amp;quot;gimmick&amp;quot; is that both arms rotate at the shoulder. Due to the strict [[For safety reasons|protocols]] of making a fast food premium, Megatron&#039;s sharp and deadly design was forced to be smoothed out. This had the unfortunate effect of making his sculpted details meld together and looking less like a killer robot and more like a melted clay man. The toy &#039;&#039;appears&#039;&#039; to use the earlier head render of Megatron&#039;s, but due to the vague detail and paint job, may also not be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The toy also comes with a purple plastic Decepticon base and a lenticular motion card with a surprising amount of frames of animation. These two pieces may in fact be the better part of the package.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie Megatron olduglyface.jpg|right|200px|thumb|I&#039;m blind!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* When the 2007 Bristol Comic Expo&#039;s Transformers panel got onto how fiddly the Movie designs were, Megatron was singled out as a prime example; one of the &#039;&#039;panel&#039;&#039; referred to him as &amp;quot;a walking chandelier&amp;quot;. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://panelborders.wordpress.com/2007/07/30/podcast-transformers-and-now/ Panel Borders (click &amp;quot;Download This Episode Now&amp;quot; link as others go to the wrong podcast)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The prototype photographs on the back of Leader and Voyager class Megatrons&#039; packaging show him with a completely different head based upon an earlier version of CGI design (seen on the right) that was dropped after much negative fan reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
* According to The Movie Guide, Megatron is one of the few Transformers capable of space travel without reverting to a Protoform. This explains how he was capable of chasing the All Spark &#039;&#039;immediately&#039;&#039; after its launch.&lt;br /&gt;
* According to [[The Quest For the Allspark]] paperback&#039;s opening paragraph, &amp;quot;...Most revered were Optimus and Megatron. They were twin brothers of the Prime dynasty.&amp;quot; This implies that Megatron may have also had the surname &amp;quot;Prime&amp;quot; at one time. &lt;br /&gt;
* Early script drafts and a [[Optimus Prime Versus Megatron|children&#039;s picture book]] featured Megatron consuming the [[spark]]s of his fallen foes, but this didn&#039;t make it into the final film due to time constraints. The novelisation of the movie, on the other hand, sees him chow down on Jazz in the final battle; similarly, although not outright stated in dialogue, his animalistic pouncing on the fallen bodies of various characters (including Optimus Prime, Starscream, Jazz and the [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Decepticon Create-A-Bot]]) in the Movie Nintendo DS games, following by what appears to be rooting around in their innards, seems to suggest he&#039;s doing the same there. &lt;br /&gt;
* Similarly, in the &#039;&#039;Autobots&#039;&#039; version of the same DS game, it is noted that Megatron &amp;quot;took the spark&amp;quot; of his and Optimus&#039; father. Presumably, this is a reference to both his cannibalistic practises as well as the fact that both he and Prime are in fact brothers, at least in the Cybertronian sense.&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite his undeniable hatred of humans, Megatron is the only Decepticon in the movie who doesn&#039;t speak [[Cybertronian languages|Cybertronian]] for the majority of his dialogue. In fact, he speaks &#039;&#039;fluent&#039;&#039; English upon reviving, despite the fact that [[wikipedia:Modern English|Modern English]] came into existence around the Sixteenth century, when he was presumably still frozen in the ice. This could suggest that he still was somehow conscious when he was studied by Sector Seven (which he also overtly states upon awakening in the IDW comic adaptation). This would explain why his first action after thawing was declaring his name - imagine being frozen for generations being referred to as &amp;quot;N.B.E. 1&amp;quot;, or even worse: &amp;quot;Mega-man&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Ice-man&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* In almost every scene where Megatron&#039;s alt mode is in use, he spins while in flight; guess thousands of years as a juice pop can do a number on your stabilizers.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Megatron computer generated model consisted of 2411 individual pieces, 433,949 polygons, 8924 rig nodes, and 1437 texture maps. The pieces combined gave a volume of 10,325 cubic feet.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Robertson, Barbara (2007). Heavy Metal. &#039;&#039;Computer Graphics, 30&#039;&#039;(7), 12-17.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] from &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]]&#039;&#039; has apparently stolen this Megatron&#039;s head, at least for the [[Transform and Roll Out|first episode]].&lt;br /&gt;
* There are some problems with Simmons&#039; statement about various technologies being reverse-engineered from Megatron. Cars came about in one shape or form at about the turn of the century, and spaceflight technology was pioneered by German and Soviet scientists. Of course, Simmons isn&#039;t the sharpest tool in the shed, so he could be exaggerating. They&#039;ll always have &#039;&#039;[[Ghost 1]]&#039;&#039; though.&lt;br /&gt;
*It was decided that Megatron would not be renamed Galvatron in [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]] for the sake of the general audience.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/180451-welcome-mr-roberto-orci-you-may-ask-him-questions-229.html#post3421064 Roberto Orci answers fan questions on the TFW2005 boards.]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*While the [[Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|Revenge Of The Fallen Movie Universe]] creates the idea that Megatron is a triple changer that alternates between his robot, jet, and tank modes, there is absolutely nothing to support this in the movie.  Throughout the entire film, he only transforms into a winged tank portrayed by the Voyager figure and is more than capable of flying in said mode.&lt;br /&gt;
*In &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;, Megatron displays the first example of levitation-type robot-mode [[flight]] by Transformers in the live-action film continuity.{{fact|Requires major corroboration.}}&lt;br /&gt;
