"Ricochet" ought to be linking to [[Stepper (Adventure)]], no? [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 11:09, 6 November 2017 (EST)
:That name's illegible, but it's definitely 8 letters, so... do we take that as impetus to move that page to "Ricochet (Adventure)"? [[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 11:35, 6 November 2017 (EST)
::You can definitely make out the shape of the R and I, so, uh, I guess, yeah? [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 11:43, 6 November 2017 (EST)
:::Plus the same symbol appears where the two "C"s should go, so yeah, I think so, I just forgot to check the "Stepper" disambiguation page when I added him. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 11:53, 6 November 2017 (EST)
I feel like "Sandstorm" should be considered distinct from the Star Seeker Sandstorm. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 11:14, 6 November 2017 (EST)

Does that Cybertronian script say "Outback" or "Fallback"? [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 16:24, 6 November 2017 (EST)

It feels like quite a bit of work went into designing these bots. Do you believe concept art of some kind will be released for them? [[User:Transfan 1992|Transfan 1992]] ([[User talk:Transfan 1992|talk]]) 15:30, 7 November 2017 (EST)

:''Wheelie is a [[Decepticon]] and later an [[Autobot]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:ROTFWheelie.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|Whaddaya lookin' at, [[Bonecrusher (dog)|slobberpuss]]?!]]
'''Wheelie''' (aka '''Wheels''') is a sneaky little salvage and scrap drone,<ref>Hasbro's online [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/TRANSFORMERS-Glossary.cfm ''Transformers'' glossary].</ref> always underfoot when you least expect it. As a reconnaissance specialist, he's equipped to the teeth with mid-range surveillance equipment. But his real asset is stealth, tooling along unseen and unsuspected while he accomplishes his mission. Unfortunately for his mission, he often bites off more than he can chew—and ends up being the one chewed on!

Although he does seem to have a bit of a "mouth" on him, Wheelie isn't really a ''bad'' sort: a loving home and a little strict discipline could whip him into shape. Allow disgruntlement with the Autobots to grow, however, and he may get ''mean''...

{{note|The five movies are the primary component of the live-action movie continuity family. Their events should be taken as canon for all other pieces of fiction listed below, unless otherwise specified.}}

[[File:ROTF Wheeliesubtlespy.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|No one will suspect me of being anything other than a remote control car!]]
Disguised as a remote-controlled monster truck toy, Wheelie was spying on [[Sam Witwicky]]'s home when an incident involving an [[AllSpark]] shard occurred. Scanning [[Mikaela Banes]] as she departed, Wheelie noticed that she possessed the fragment, and sent a transmission to inform [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]. On hearing this, Soundwave ordered Wheelie to steal the [[AllSpark]] fragment from Mikaela.

[[File:Wheelie ROTF movie trailer.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|No disassemble!]]
Wheelie attempted to unlock the safe in her garage containing the fragment, but the noise he made in trying to avoid the various dangerous objects on the floor alerted her to his presence, so she picked him up with tongs and burnt out his left eye with a blowtorch. Mikaela then demanded to know what he was doing there, and Wheelie explained that he needed to bring the AllSpark shard to the Decepticons, or he'd be terminated, begging mercy of Mikaela, who he dubbed "Warrior Goddess". Despite his protests, Mikaela locked him inside a box, which she took to [[Princeton University]] when Sam told her he had been having visions and breakdowns induced by the fragment. Along the way, Wheelie tried and failed to draw attention at airport security and his box was thrown at [[Alice (ROTF)|Alice]], sending it out a window when Alice dodged. Sam retrieved the box on Mikaela's orders. Although [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] later bisected Mikaela's car, Wheelie's box was undamaged and she retrieved and stored it in [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s trunk.

[[File:ROTF Wheelieonaleash.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|I feel so humiliated!]]
Wheelie was let out of the box at [[Seymour Simmons]]'s deli in [[New York City]]. Mikaela held him with a chain, but promised she would not hurt him if he promised to explain the [[Cyberglyphics]] Sam had been hallucinating about. Wheelie identified the symbols as the Language of the [[Dynasty of Primes|Primes]], and said that he couldn't read it. When he noticed the pictures of suspected Transformers, he identified them as the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]], saying they could read the language and he could tell them where to find them. Wheelie did, and he accompanied Mikaela, Sam, Simmons, [[Leo Spitz]], Bumblebee, [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to find [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] at the Smithsonian.

[[File:ROTF-Wheeliedryhumpsaleg.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|This is the culmination of 25 years of Transformers fiction. You've come a long way, baby.]]
Upon locating the ancient Seeker, Wheelie told the humans that Jetfire was a living legend, like "chairman of the board" type, and instructed Sam to point the shard at the Blackbird. The surge of energon sent through Jetfire awoke the ancient Seeker, who was irritable and cantankerous, and Wheelie noted that Jetfire had not aged very well. As the larger Decepticon made his way outside, he inquired on the state of the civil war, and informed the group that he had defected years earlier. Wheelie was shocked by Jetfire's discussion of how he defected from the Decepticons to the Autobots, a thought which had never occurred to him, and decided he too would defect to Warrior Goddess, humping Mikaela's leg in joy. Sam objected, but Mikaela noted Wheelie was faithful, [[Alice (ROTF)|unlike]] her boyfriend. That did not stop Sam from punting Wheelie.

Wheelie was taken by Jetfire's [[space bridge]] to [[Jordan]], and from there he travelled with the humans and Autobots to the [[Pyramid]]s of [[Egypt]]. He was present when Bumblebee was stopped by the Egyptian checkpoint officers. They arrived in Cairo, where he presumably decided to stay safely while everyone else searched for the [[Tomb of the Primes]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Wheelie's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel]]'', and ''[[The Last Prime]]''; the comic mini-series ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]''; and the storybook "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]".}}

=====''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel adaptation=====
In Egypt, Wheelie stopped a police car by jumping onto its windscreen and smashing it, before Bumblebee and the Twins scared off the officers. After that he ripped off a wiper as a trophy, ran back to Mikaela and buried his face in her cleavage. Later, when the good guys had beaten the Decepticons, Wheelie spun around Sam and Mikaela happily in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

[[File:DOTMWheelie.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Wheelie old buddy. I Haven't seen you in weeks. Where have you been hiding?]]
Wheelie, along with his new friend [[Brains]], moved in with Sam and [[Carly Spencer]], where they spent most of their time going through Carly's underwear or watching ''[[Star Trek]]'' reruns. Wheelie and Brains had a deep friendship, as shown by their constant companionship and their agreement on the [[Mikaela Banes|last girl]] being mean. However neither were exactly happy with their living arrangements, living in a box ''outside'' of the apartment itself, and had a [[Bonecrusher (dog)|dog]] for a neighbor. Wheelie complained about his living conditions, and said he wasn't so sure about moving in with Carly permanently.

[[File:Wheelie&brains-film-nestsoldiers.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|I told you already, I defected to the Autobots!]]
They went with their human housemates to the [[NEST]] base to reveal information to the Autobots; however their offer of help was turned down by [[Charlotte Mearing]]. Wheelie later noted that they were disrespected greatly, and decided they were safer with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] at Sam and Carly's. However, when the Autobots were forced to leave Earth by the human authorities, both Wheelie and Brains were captured and shoved into a small cage. They begged for help from Sam, warning him the whole thing was a Decepticon trap. The duo, along with the other Autobots, were presumed to be killed when [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] destroyed the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' shortly after take-off.

Thankfully, Wheelie and Brains survived along with the rest of the Autobots by hiding in one of the booster rockets, and came to the aid of Sam, [[Robert Epps|Epps]], and the human race in [[Chicago]]. Wheelie told them that he and the other Autobots would always help humanity and they soon marched off to battle, riding [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] into the city. Unfortunately, Wheelie and Brains were left behind by the [[Wrecker]]s when they were done distracting [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], having fallen off while they were firing.

[[File:Dotm-brains&wheelie-hijack-1.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|Wheelie and Brains in ''The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel''.]]

As they wandered through the streets hopelessly, mumbling about the lack of support, they happened upon a crashed Decepticon ship. They rode it up to one of the massive Decepticon "mother ships" hovering over Chicago that was controlling several smaller ships like the one they hijacked. Wheelie and Brains overrode the ship's controls, dropping several of the small fighters, as well as some of the Decepticon crew, onto the battlefield, causing a distraction for [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] just at the right second, preventing Bumblebee from being executed after [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Que]]. This also allowed the Autobots to gain an essential lead in the battle, proving the duo's worth in the end as the massive ship crashed into a large body of water below. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

[[File:TLKWheelieAndJimmy.jpg|right|upright=1.6|thumb|Well, it beats the leg-humping, at least.]]
Wheelie survived the events of the Chicago war and the subsequent years of Transformer hunting and joined the Autobots in hiding at [[Cade Yeager]]'s [[Junkyard (TLK)|scrapyard]]. His days were spent checking out "hot" vehicles online and arguing with [[Jimmy (TLK)|Jimmy]]. When Cade returned to find [[Daytrader]] hanging around, Wheelie happily informed him that it was because Jimmy had let him in in exchange for an alien gun. The two began to argue and Jimmy seized the small bot but was stopped from doing anything further by Cade.

Later, he watched as [[Izabella]] attached a salvaged Decepticon arm to replace [[Sqweeks]]' missing one. When he commented on Sweeeks being an ugly little bot (talk about calling the kettle black), said bot then flicked him away. When the Decepticons and the [[Transformers Reaction Force|TRF]] discovered their refuge, he evacuated to a nearby town with the humans and Autobots. He stayed close to Cade when he rigged traps for the Decepticons but became overcome with fear at seeing Megatron in person again and asked Cade if it was alright to "bail", though not before freaking out at seeing the knights talisman attach itself to Cade. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

During the Decepticon plot to frame [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], Wheelie was parachuted onto their prison convoy by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Once there, he swiftly freed the twins and offered them a place in the Decepticons before he made good his escape.

Also, he totally [[:File:Titan5 Wheeliethemurderer.jpg|murdered two people]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}

[[File:Titan20_WheelieIronhide.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.85|The answer was "on page 4".]]

A year and a half after defection, the Autobots ''still'' didn't trust Wheelie ([[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] in particular making no secret of his contempt) and he knew it. When he volunteered to help hit a Decepticon command hub and was rebuffed, Wheelie tore into the Autobots for how they would never trust him and how they were still waiting for him to backstab them. Bitter and angry, Wheelie went off... to backstab them, warning [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] of the Autobot/NEST strike team so they could be ambushed.

But Bludgeon was being backstabbed too, as Wheelie disabled the command hub's security features and summoned [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to Earth. Megatron welcomed him back into the fold {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}} and Wheelie knew that, with the true leader back, he could come back in from the cold. Yes, it had all gone well for Wheelie... until [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]], half dead and crazed for "SPARE... PARTS!", came into the command hub. The Autobots would turn up later and find ''bits'' of Wheelie, sending them to Ratchet to see if there was anything he could do... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.21|A Short, Sharp Lesson!}}

Wheelie was out for a drive with Bumblebee, Sam and Mikaela one day when Starscream swooped down and began to attack them! Wheelie suggested to Bumblebee that they outwit the Decepticon to defeat him. Bumblebee disagreed, saying that they had to destroy Starscream's wings to defeat him. The two Autobots began to argue, becoming oblivious to Starscream attacking their human companions. Thankfully, Optimus Prime showed up to knock out Starscream. Optimus then chastised Wheelie and Bumblebee for allowing their feelings get in the way of protecting Sam and Mikaela. Wheelie realized he was in the wrong, but was still too worked up to make his apologies to Wheelie. Instead, yelled out that he would never apologize. His rant was interrupted when Starscream regained consciousness and resumed his attack. Optimus ordered Wheelie to work with Bumblebee to stop Starscream. The pair managed to do so by outwitting Starscream and destroying his wings, making the Decepticon crash into a nearby tunnel and crippling his flying abilities. With Starscream down, Wheelie and the rest of the group celebrated another victory over the Decepticons. {{storylink|Buddy Brawl}}

*'''Autobot Wheelie''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-09'''

: One of the taller Deluxe-Class figures, Wheelie transforms into a pretty generic but ''very'' small and compact (roughly Basic-sized) "remote controlled" 4 wheel drive pickup truck with over-sized tires. His face becomes part of the truck bed in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], with his eyes forming the tailgate and being visible from the inside of the bed, and with the mouth just laying there, yeah.

: His main gimmick is that chest features a flip-around panel that shifts his allegiance from Decepticon to Autobot (and back). His eyes are also on independent rotating swivels, giving him the ability to have somewhat different expressions. Each eye is sculpted differently as well, with his left eye having less details than the right, a reference to when Mikaela blow-torched his eye.

A prop for one of Wheelie's feet, complete with an attached tire, was also made.<ref name="udvarhazy"/>
* Wheelie was a bit different in earlier drafts of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' script. Originally, he was a much more primitive little creature, speaking in a broken, simplistic dialogue—source of the "Warrior Goddess" epithet that is pretty much completely out of place with the fast-talking Italian accent he ultimately wound up with in the finished film. This version of the character appeared in the film [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|novelization]] and in the [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]], since they were both based on the script; furthermore, [[Simon Furman]] rather oddly kept using this portrayal of the character in [[Titan Books|Titan]]'s [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|UK comic]] several months after the film had come out before knocking it off about a year-and-a-half later.
*In their audio commentary on the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' DVD and Blu-ray release, screenwriters [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] refer to Wheelie by his early working name, "Wheels". The credits for ''The Last Knight'' also identifies the character as "Wheels". Meanwhile, [[Michael Bay]] and the credits for both ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and ''Dark of the Moon'' calls him by his toys' name.
*Seeing Mikaela for the first time, Wheelie describes her as "hot" but "not too bright." Interesting that a sentient machine would find a human [[Transformer romance|sexually attractive]].
*[[Titan Books|Titan Comics]] and [[Hasbro]] [[United Kingdom|UK]] seemed unaware of Wheelie's return in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', since in their comics, Wheelie defected back to the Decepticons—in a way that left an Autobot dead - in one issue and then had him eaten in the next! The Autobots are unaware he betrayed them and talk like Ratchet can patch him up, but that seems a last-minute "oh whoops" patch-up.
*Despite changing sides in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Wheelie still sports an embossed Decepticon symbol on his back in his subsequent appearances.
* The [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|''Dark of the Moon'' novelization]] has Wheelie joke about a theoretical ''[[Star Trek]]'' episode where the ''[[USS Enterprise|Enterprise]]'' was revealed as a Transformer. Pffft, [[Prime's Directive, Part Three|as if ''that'' could ever happen...]]

Megatron (Movie)

:''Megatron is the [[Decepticon]] leader from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Movie Megatron Defiance3.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Friends, [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticonians]], countrybots, lend me your audio receptors!]]

'''Megatron''' (aka '''Galvatron''', '''N.B.E.-01''', the '''Ice Man''' and '''C-81''') was not always the viciously powerful and brutally direct leader of the Decepticons: he was once brothers-in-arms with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] and a student of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], appointed to be Cybertron's [[Lord High Protector|Protector]] and commander of its [[Defense Force]]. But Megatron resented his comrade, knowing he was a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] and therefore Sentinel's favored son. This anger allowed [[The Fallen]] to ensnare him and led to the revival of the Decepticons. Even without The Fallen, it's not hard to imagine that Megatron would have erupted Cybertron into war to rid himself of Optimus.

Megatron tends to become so obsessed with the object of his desires that he can ignore "secondary" matters, glaring flaws in his plans. Otherwise, he likely wouldn't have chased after the [[AllSpark]] alone, and spent centuries entombed in the [[Arctic]]. 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. Like his master, Megatron feels a violent hatred towards [[human]]s and views them as only slightly above bacteria, a feeling exacerbated by spending decades as their prisoner.

Despite this fatal flaw, Megatron did not achieve his dreaded status through simple warmongering. He's a manipulative, cunning strategist who can plan [[Ark (DOTM)|multiple]] [[Star Harvester|schemes]] spanning millennia, and while they may overlap, they all help him towards his one, true goal: the restoration of Cybertron. For all his evils, Megatron genuinely strives to save his home planet some day, and with it, the [[Transformer|Cybertronian race]]: even if it means he has to rule it with his iron fist and put his bloodlust to good use to do so. He also hates selfies.

[[File:Movie2007 Megatron ArchibaldWitwicky.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Oh baby, you know just the spot to turn me on!]]

Megatron eventually succeeded in tracking the AllSpark 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's navigation system and caused the coordinates of the AllSpark to be etched onto the explorer'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.

[[File:Movie Megatron breakout.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|Mace isn't for spraying, it's for hitting.]]

In the present day, having searched the galaxy for the AllSpark and being drawn to Earth, the remaining Decepticons learned of Witwicky's glasses. Through the Internet, they determined the location of both Megatron and the AllSpark inside Hoover Dam. [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] infiltrated the dam and shut down the power systems, while Starscream attacked the external powerlines, resulting in Megatron's thawing out. Once again online, the leader of the Decepticons informed the worthless insects of his true name, shouting "I am Megatron!" (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 AllSpark again. He met up with Starscream for the first time in thousands of years on the outside, and, never one for pleasantries, immediately demanded to know where the Cube was. Upon learning that the humans had moved the AllSpark, Megatron berated Starscream for yet another failure.

[[File:Movie2007 Megatron Starscream.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|You fail me yet again, Starscream... will I ever meet [[Starscream (SG)|a Starscream that is truly loyal?]]]]

After Starscream and Devastator'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 [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] called for a temporary retreat. Megatron blasted Jazz backwards 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 valiantly fought on, asking if Megatron wanted a "piece" of him, but doing little damage to the Decepticon leader. Megatron viciously killed the Autobot by tearing him in half, callously declaring that he wanted "two".

[[File:Movie Megatron jetmode cityfight.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb]]

As [[Sam Witwicky|the human boy]] ran off with the AllSpark, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack. Devastator attacked the armed insects, while Starscream and [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] fought [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] for the AllSpark. 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's name, he discarded Jazz's body and then 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. Hearing this, the snarling Megatron tossed Optimus aside. Megatron declared that if Prime wished to defend them, he should "join them in extinction", 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, sending Optimus Prime flying into the side of a building.

[[File:Movie Megatron Samonroof.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Oh look I found a stray human... wonder if I can keep him as a pet... come on boy, don't be scared. I'll take you to a new home.]]

Megatron pursued the young human who had removed the AllSpark 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 AllSpark, 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 AllSpark, the boy might live as his pet. The Decepticon leader relished the human's defiant refusal and destroyed the ledge the human was standing upon, sending the boy tumbling to the ground.

[[File:Movie2007 Prime Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Get up, so I can knock you back down!]]

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 crawl away, the Decepticon expressed his disgust at the insect'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 AllSpark, Megatron decided to indulge his brother's obvious death wish, declaring that only he was in this fight. Despite Optimus Prime'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 "weak" was the real reason he lost.

[[File:Megatron allspark merge.JPG|left|upright=1.4|thumb| The AllSpark will give you sparkburn!]]

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]]'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 AllSpark was his. As Optimus Prime ordered the boy to place the AllSpark into his chest, the human instead pushed it into the now-exposed [[spark]] in Megatron's chest, overloading him with energy and extinguishing the Decepticon's life force. As Optimus Prime stood over Megatron's lifeless shell, watching the light flicker out of his brother's [[Sensors#Optical sensors|optics]], he remarked somberly, yet remorsefully, that Megatron had left him no choice, and removed a shard of the AllSpark from his brother's spark core.

Megatron'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 (film)|Transformers}}

[[File:ROTFMegatronRising.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Now, where's Starscream? I want to give him a piece of my mind.]]

Megatron's death would not last long, however. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] tapped into a conversation between [[NEST]] and General [[Morshower]], listening to Director [[Theodore Galloway]] mention that 1) a shard of the [[AllSpark]] was in storage in [[Diego Garcia]] and 2) Megatron's body lay in the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was sent to steal the shard, and swam to the Abyss with [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]]. Scalpel ordered spare parts be used to repair Megatron's body with "ze little one", 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 and a [[death-lock pincer]]. Megatron flew up to the surface, striking a [[USS Topeka|submarine]] on his way, before journeying into space to find the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]''.

[[File:TheFallen-ROTFNemesis.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"My Master, I have fai--" "I'm trying to watch the game here!"]]

On the ruined ship, Megatron met up with [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and chastised his subordinate for leaving him to die on Earth. Starscream defended his actions by saying that he had to take care of the [[hatchling]]s, who were dying without [[energon]], as someone had to take command in Megatron's absence. Furious, Megatron bashed Starscream into a wall containing protoform sacks, and told Starscream that even in death, there is no command but Megatron's. Megatron met up with [[The Fallen]], who was weakened and in a life support chair. Megatron told his master he had failed and allowed the AllSpark to be destroyed, but The Fallen told Megatron that the knowledge of the AllSpark had instead been transferred to the human boy who killed him, [[Sam Witwicky]]. With the knowledge within Sam's mind, they could find another energon source, hidden away from The Fallen eons ago. Already eager to avenge himself, Megatron begged The Fallen for the chance to strip the flesh from Sam, but The Fallen asked for patience. Before they could act, Megatron was to kill [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], who was the last of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] and the only one that could defeat the Fallen. Megatron knew that Optimus would protect the boy, and ordered him captured.

[[File:ROTF Megatron tank mode.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Don't blink. He isn't like this much.]]

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's location in his mind, which he had received from his own AllSpark fragment. Megatron held the boy down while Scalpel performed several invasive probes of Sam's mind. Scalpel's probes confirmed The Fallen's claims, and Scalpel declared that they needed Sam's brain on the table, something Megatron had no objections to. Just as Scalpel was ready to dissect Sam's brain, Optimus and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] burst in to rescue the humans. Megatron attempted to attack Optimus, but was shot out of the factory as he pounced. Optimus drove Sam to a forest, with Megatron in hot pursuit. The Autobot and Decepticon leaders transformed and battled as Sam fled. Optimus was pretty easily dominating the fight, trash talking Megatron all the while, eventually forcing Megatron to call his Decepticons for help.

[[File:ROTFPrimePunch.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"Body or face, Megatron?" "Not the face!" "Too bad!"]]

Starscream and Grindor immediately arrived to aid their commander. Megatron told Optimus that Sam could lead them to another energon source, then counterattacked his foe, kicking off Prime's [[mouthplate]] and blasting him backwards. Appearing to have a slight advantage, Megatron taunted the Autobot leader, asking if one boy was worth the future of the Cybertronians. Prime replied that he'd never stop at killing just one, then took on all three Decepticons. Surprisingly, he was winning, punching and stabbing Megatron multiple times, ripping off Starscream's right arm, and tearing Grindor apart. However, as a weary Prime tried to find Sam, Megatron [[Death-lock pincer|stabbed]] him in the back and blasted through his spark: 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.

[[File:ROTF movie MegatronStarscream roofchat.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"That's IT! No more Mr. Nice Megatron!" "But you were never—" "SHUT UP!"]]

With Prime dead, Megatron was quite pleased, until Starscream informed him that the boy had escaped. Furious, Megatron smacked his lieutenant with his own severed arm and ran his treads on him for a moment for losing track of a single insect, but Starscream countered that he was one of seven billion, and could be anywhere. Considering the situation, Megatron decided it was time to end their secret war, and that if they couldn't find the boy, they'd have the humans bring him to the Decepticons. Soundwave used his scanning abilities to locate the boys parents, the rejuvenated Fallen broadcast a message to deliver Sam to them across the planet. Megatron himself broadcasted the Fallen's message by rewiring the [[Empire State Building]]'s radio tower.

[[File:ROTFMegatronSam.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Hey, he stole my purse! Wallet! I mean wallet!]]

He then flew to [[Egypt]], where nineteen thousand years before, the Fallen had built a [[Star Harvester]] to harness the [[Sun]] for energon. Starscream informed him that the human soldiers had brought Prime's body with them, and Megatron surmised the boy's intentions. Commanding the rest of the Decepticons to begin their [[Operation: Firestorm|assault]], 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.

[[File:ROTF Megatron not over.JPG|thumb|right|upright=1.4|It's just a flesh wound. Err, armor wound.]]

Fortunately, The Fallen managed to take the Matrix and activate the harvester, but it had already been used to resurrect Optimus. Optimus combined with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] and destroyed the harvester, knocking Megatron off the pyramid while Prime went for The Fallen. Quickly recovering, Megatron came to the aid of his master and attacked Optimus from behind. After a brief but brutal tussle, Optimus used Megatron's own cannon to blast half his face off, and then severed the Decepticon's right arm. Finally, Optimus used his afterburners to send Megatron flying through some ruins, ending his role in the battle. Badly damaged, Megatron called out for "Tharscweam!" in agony, but it soon mattered little as Optimus Prime killed the Fallen. Horrified at the demise of his master, Megatron acknowledged Starscream's advice that they should flee, but vowed that "This isn't over." {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

[[File:Dotm-megatron-face.jpg|left|thumb|250 px|[[Doctor Doom|Curse you]], [[Fantastic Four]]!]]

Three years after Operation: Firestorm and the death of the Fallen, Megatron finally adopted an Earth form - ironically, a large tractor-trailer not unlike that of his most hated enemy - and hid out in the plains of Namibia, Africa, in exile. There, still visibly bearing the scars of his battle with Optimus Prime, he spent most of his time sitting on a ramshackle throne of junk, with only [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]], and the diminutive [[Igor]] to command. Megatron regularly went out to find food for the [[Hatchling]]s that lived in a collection of oil drums at the camp, occasionally scaring the local wildlife with his roaring and bellowing. Starscream expressed his concern for his master's wounds, but Megatron was not fooled by his sucking up. Laserbeak returned after observing [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]'s fight with Optimus, and he and Soundwave told Megatron that the Autobots had discovered a fuel cell from the Ark, which had been thought lost. Megatron noted his approval of the two's work, and decided that the humans that were working for them had served their purpose, and ordered them to be eliminated.

[[File:DOTM-MegatronLincolnMemorialchair.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|Finally, a reference to "[[Atlantis, Arise!]]"]]
After [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] betrayed the Autobots, Megatron and Starscream travelled to Washington D.C., where Megatron outlined his scheme to his second-in-command. Apparently, Sentinel was supposed to rendezvous with Megatron there on Earth, but the circumstances caused them both to be deactivated, and Sentinel was the only one who knew how to activate the [[space bridge]]. However, Megatron had a contingency plan: since they already had the pillars on the Moon and Optimus had recovered the Matrix of Leadership, he merely needed Optimus to revive Sentinel, so he could activate the pillars. And so arrived that moment, and Megatron blasted President Lincoln off his stone throne, and used the remains as a seat. Optimus arrived to stop Sentinel but was too late. Megatron watched this happen, after which he declared, "Here we are. Fight us ''now''."

[[File:DOTM-SentinelandMegatron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Megatron just needs to crash on Sentinel's couch for a few days until he can get back on his feet.]]

Soon, they travelled to Chicago, Illinois, where Sentinel and Megatron planned to start their global takeover. They set up their base of operations on the [[35 East Wacker|Jewelers' Building]]. Human [[Dylan Gould]], who was working for the Decepticons, came with [[Carly Spencer]] to watch, but Megatron ordered him to leave. Dylan did so but muttered to Carly "he's such a dick". After the Decepticons successfully occupied Chicago, Megatron stated that this was the world that he promised, that this way Cybertron would be restored. Sentinel, feeling his partner was getting too chummy, violently reminded Megatron of his place; Sentinel did not work ''for'' Megatron, he worked ''with'' Megatron, and warned the Decepticon to remember the difference.

Much later, Dylan shouted to Megatron that the Autobots, who were seemingly destroyed by Starscream, were still alive. Megatron ordered the bridges to be raised and all [[Orbital Assault Carrier|Decepticon fighter ships]] to find the Autobots.

[[File:DOTM off with his head.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Insert your own "Give me your face" joke here.]]
Sentinel would take control of the Decepticon forces in the fight against the Autobots, and so, as the battle raged Megatron lay on another throne of junk, sulking, though his spirit was suitably lifted as Cybertron appeared in the sky above. That is until [[Carly Spencer]] approached him and mocked that Sentinel had apparently usurped him. Megatron denied this and maintained that he would rule. As Carly pushed him further, he prepared to crush the human for daring to speak so defiantly to him, but paused, realizing how far he had fallen from power within the past few years, and decided to once again take his rightful place at the top of the command chain. That is what he came close to doing; just as Sentinel was about to deal the fatal blow to Optimus, Megatron attacked and severely wounded Sentinel. Meanwhile, the Autobots destroyed the control pillar, thus destroying the space bridge and presumably Cybertron with it. Seeing this, Megatron offered Optimus a truce, as long he could remain in charge of the Decepticons. "After all," he asked, "Who would you be without me, Prime?" Prime's response was to announce that it was "Time to find out," as he promptly tore Megatron's head from his shoulders with his axe, finally killing the tyrant. Optimus then used his nemesis' fusion shotgun to end Sentinel's life as well. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

[[File:Megatron Head at KSI.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Aw, look at that, the humans wiped off all the rust! And wasn't my face split in two?]]
In the years that followed the battle of Chicago, Megatron was among the listed casualties by [[CIA]] taskforce "[[Cemetery Wind]]". He even had his ugly mug printed out on a playing card.<ref>https://profilesinhistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/101TransformersSs.pdf</ref>

Although Megatron's spark had been extinguished in the battle of Chicago, his brain remained intact within his severed head. Megatron's remains were acquired by KSI, who forced [[Brains]] to download and decrypt data from the Decepticon leader's brain to help them crack the secrets of [[living metal|Transformium]] and create their own range of man-made Transformer drones. Company head [[Joshua Joyce]] intended for the centerpiece of this line, the military drone "'''Galvatron'''", to be physically patterned after Optimus Prime, but Megatron's still-functional mind secretly influenced the Transformium, causing it to take a shape not dissimilar to his own appearance, so that the Galvatron shell could serve as a new body for himself. Over the next five years, Megatron became aware of KSI's alliance with the Cybertronian bounty hunter [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] and Cemetery Wind. Learning of the cyberforming [[Seed]] the humans were going to receive as payment for helping Lockdown capture Optimus, Megatron schemed to steal it and use it to create enough Transformium to build a massive Decepticon army. As the go-between, Brains was aware of the Decepticon leader's plan, but declined to notify his captors of any of this, because seriously, ''screw'' those guys.

[[File:AOE-PrimeVsGalvatron.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"You have no soul!" "That is why I make a great lawyer!"]]

After four prototype Galvatrons were junked by KSI due to their "inexplicably" Megatron-like appearance, they were forced to put the fifth into action after the Autobots attempted a raid on their Chicago facility. Before it rolled out, Megatron transferred his mind into the drone's body (or, as Brains put it, "infected it with his evil nasty chromosomes") and was thus reborn, a spark-less, soul-less 'bot without fear. He initially pretended to obey KSI's remote control, but quickly began to exhibit his free will, firing his weapons unbidden and showing a reckless disregard for civilian bystanders. When Optimus Prime engaged Galvatron in battle, he could sense the essence of Megatron within the drone, but before their fight could reach a definitive end, Lockdown interceded and abducted Prime. Galvatron was retrieved from the field by a furious Joyce, who declared the drone's signs of autonomy as critical flaws.

[[File:WeshallmeetagainPrime.jpg|thumb|left|300px|I'll get you next time, Gadget, next time!]]
Brains revealed Galvatron's scheme to [[Cade Yeager]], who called Joyce and alerted him of the danger Galvatron posed should he obtain the Seed. Having ended his deal with Lockdown, Attinger handed over the Seed he'd received in exchange for Optimus. Though efforts were made to tighten security, Galvatron activated on his own as he bellowed his name, then animated KSI's other Transformers. Together, Galvatron and his new minions trashed KSI's lab as they searched for the Seed. However, Joyce was able to flee the facility with the Seed, escaping both Galvatron and the CIA. He attempted to rendezvous with the Autobots and Yeagers in [[Hong Kong]]. Galvatron ordered his new Decepticons to split up and find Joyce, and his troops were able to shoot down the Autobot ship just as Joyce was about to hand over the Seed. The Autobot ship crash-landed in the nearby Wulong Valley, leaving only [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] and Bumblebee to protect the humans and the Seed. However, just as the two were about to be overwhelmed, the other Autobots returned with the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]]s in tow, quickly turning the tide of battle and slaying most of the Decepticons, much to Galvatron's chagrin. Galvatron was only saved by the timely reappearance of [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], whose attack drew Optimus's attention. With his plans temporarily stymied, Galvatron declared his rebirth and swore revenge against Prime as he left for parts unknown. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

Megatron was angry at his subordinate's failure to obtain it, but Barricade salvaged the situation with a plan to use the [[Transformers Reaction Force]] to do the work for them.

Requiring additional Decepticon reinforcements to take on Yeager's Autobot protectors, Megatron kidnapped two [[CIA]] officers, offering to trade them for the release of a squad of Decepticons of his choosing from TRF custody. Meeting with [[William Lennox]] in the desert, Megatron secured the release of [[Mohawk]], [[Dreadbot]], [[Nitro Zeus]], and [[Onslaught (ROTF)|Onslaught]] (only settling for the latter after his first choice, [[Berserker]], was refused). The Decepticons tracked Yeager to his [[South Dakota]] [[Junkyard (TLK)|junkyard hideout]], but their quarry had already escaped to a nearby town. Among the refuse, Megatron discovered the head of Starscream, and mused to his traitorous former lieutenant that his victory was near, pitying that Starscream hadn't lived to see his victory. He was then attacked by [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]], but he dispatched the Autobot with a blast of his fusion cannon. Megatron's team followed the Autobots, but all they could find in the town was the ramshackle little Autobot [[Sqweeks]]. Megatron was disgusted by the human scent he could smell upon the tiny 'bot... whereupon Sqweeks's friend and guardian [[Izabella]] emerged from hiding, furiously ordering the Decepticon leader to put Sqweeks down. Yeager and the other Autobots broke cover and sprung an explosive trap. As battle with the Autobots raged, [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]] arrived to join the fight and personally tossed Megatron around like a toy. The Decepticons were quickly overpowered and after Dreadbot and Onslaught fell, Megatron called a retreat, escaping with Nitro Zeus and Barricade but leaving Mohawk behind to perish. TRF then stepped in to take over the chase for Yeager.

When Yeager and Bumblebee went to England to meet with Sir [[Edmund Burton]], Megatron and his remaining forces followed, knowing Yeager would lead them to the Staff. Yeager was subsequently joined by [[Viviane Wembly]], and successfully located Quintessa's staff in the [[Guardian Knights' ship|knight's ship]] at the bottom of the ocean. Quintessa had, in the intervening time, also placed Optimus Prime under her control and sent him to obtain the staff, but when Bumblebee helped Prime break her control, Megatron seized his opportunity, streaking in, blindsiding the disoriented Prime, and snatching the staff away. He proclaimed to his nemesis that he had turned his back on Cybertron for the last time, and would watch Earth die. As Cybertron arrived in Earth orbit, the Decepticons headed for [[Stonehenge]], where Megatron activated the portal through which Unicron's energy would be drained. When Burton and the [[British Armed Forces|British military]] attempted to stop them, Megatron fatally wounded Burton with a single blast.

[[File:TLKMegsAndHound.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb|'''Hound''': You're going down, Buckethead! '''Megatron''': That line wasn't funny [[Orion Pax, Part 3|last time]], either!]]
The Decepticons proceeded to relocate to Cybertron, where Megatron delivered the staff to Quintessa and led the defense of her [[ignition chamber]] against the joint forces of the Autobots, humans, and [[Dragonstorm]]. His forces held the line until Sqweeks destroyed their gun emplacement and Optimus arrived and slew [[Infernocus]]. He and Nitro fell back as the Autobots broke through the defenses and arrived to thwart their plan, and soon engaged all the Autobots together. As he prepared to deliver a killing blow to Hound, he was briefly frozen by [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]]'s time slowing gun and blasted by Hound. He was then tackled by Bumblebee and when he prepared to blast the small Autobot, Optimus Prime intervened, slicing his fusion cannon arm off. Megatron, despite his injury, managed to subdue Optimus and attempted to sway him by reminding him of how they had once been "brothers", but Optimus retorted that it had indeed only been ''once'', and kicked him through a wall, sending him plummeting through the air. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

===IDW movie comics===
During the Dark Age of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] after the fall of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], Megatron became a follower of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. Sentinel recovered the [[AllSpark]], and planned to transport a sun to repower it and the rest of Cybertron. The [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacon]]s, who believed Sentinel to be a mad heretic, launched an attack on the AllSpark's facility. Megatron, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] fended off the Thetacons when Sentinel and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] successfully transported a star to Cybertron. The Thetacons laid down their arms, but Megatron resented that so many of his comrades had died before Cybertron's new dawn, and it was only by Optimus's persuasion that Megatron found it within himself to forgive his enemies and shake the Thetacon [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]'s hand. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

That evening, Megatron eavesdropped on a conversation between Sentinel and Optimus. Sentinel claimed Optimus was also a Prime, and intended to make him the new ruler of Cybertron. Optimus refused, unable to accept he was a Prime and somehow superior to his comrades. The next day, Megatron grumbled to Shockwave that if he were Optimus, he would have accepted Sentinel's offer. They came across a [[Driller]] attacking a [[hatchling]] field trip, and successfully shot the creature to pieces. Megatron asked for the name of the Cybertronian who volunteered to guard the hatchlings: his name was [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].

Three days later at the capital city of [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]], Sentinel Prime officially declared Cybertron's unification, and announced the planet would be governed by Optimus's [[Science Division]], and Megatron's [[Defense Force]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} For two generations, Optimus and Megatron ruled Cybertron successfully, creating a balance of fair and firm leadership. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} When [[Malcontent]] activity increased on Cybertron, Megatron met with Optimus and requested supreme authority in protecting the planet. Optimus obliged. Megatron then requested to be called [[Lord High Protector]] and to be addressed as "sir". {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

[[File:Defiance1 Megs Prime argument.jpg|left|upright=1.95|thumb|"Know your place, boy!"]]

After Commander Starscream returned from his patrol in the [[Eshems Nebula]], Optimus was reporting on his science sector's continuing excavation of the site near [[Simfur Temple]] and the unusual pulse waves that the AllSpark had been emitting ever since work began. At the excavation site, while Optimus' scientists were concerned with disturbing the ancient artifacts, all Megatron cared about was whether these relics might provide the same revitalising energy as the AllSpark. He was nettled when Optimus asserted the sector'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's findings. When Optimus dared to remind Megatron of the military's treatment of such discoveries as hostile, Megatron told Optimus that when ''he'' tried to be the leader of Cybertron, he could make those decisions, not ''now''. 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' team out of the military's way and staggered back to his quarters in 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|Defiance #1}}

[[File:Defiance2 Megatron warrally.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Mein Führer!]]

The relic used what little power it had left to repair Megatron'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's help, and ''if'' he helped, the relic would truly make him '''Lord''' of Cybertron. The relic then fired beams of energy into Megatron'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'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 AllSpark. Optimus refused, stating that the army'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 ''change''. 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: ''none'' of the aliens were to survive. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

[[File:Defiance3 wearenowDECEPTICONS.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|I'm going to enjoy watching you die, Mr. Anderson.]]

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's, while everything else the master'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 ''him''. Now seeing that there were "enemies" within Cybertron as well as without, Megatron arranged to have the "traitors" taken care of by ordering [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]]'s security team to arrest Optimus, and sent Starscream's soldiers to kill all bar Optimus. However, Megatron underestimated Optimus, who personally defeated Starscream's squad. Nonetheless, he used the survivors as propaganda that treacherous malcontents sought to betray them all, and declared that Megatron's followers would now be reformed under a new image and a new name: '''Decepticons'''. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}} He ordered the execution of the "false" Primes — though he knew Sentinel and Optimus were Primes, he needed to give his followers a villain. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

Optimus's 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'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 AllSpark 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 [[Star Harvester|harvesting]] 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 ''Nemesis'' was finally completed, and Megatron assigned [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to command the ship. The relic praising Megatron for his fine work, and ordered him to stay behind to continue the war. Over the next thousand years, the Autobots and Decepticons clashed in a bloody struggle. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

As Cybertron was devastated by the worsening war, Sentinel Prime was forced to make a deal with Megatron to seek out another planet whose resources they can exploit to restore their homeworld. The chosen planet was the resting place of the Primes' Star Harvester. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}{{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3}}

Ironhide led an attack on Simfur Temple. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Megatron stood at the gate and slaughtered many Autobots as Elita-One and [[Chromia (ROTF)|her]] [[Arcee (Movie)|sisters]] used the AllSpark to activate a "torch" made by Sentinel. Optimus finally appeared to fend off Megatron and ensure Elita-One escaped to give Sentinel the torch. Sentinel boarded the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] with the torch to retrieve Optimus from Simfur, but to both Optimus and Megatron's horror, Starscream attacked the Ark, destroying it. The Autobots fled, but Megatron correctly deduced Optimus would return with a vengeance. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}} From his [[Lord High Protector citadel|citadel]], Megatron watched as Optimus and Ironhide battled their way through his defenses. When Optimus finally entered the tower, he found Megatron covered in hatchlings and daring him to kill them with him, gloating that Optimus would never go far enough. Optimus revealed he didn't: it had all been a distraction as Wheeljack, Chromia and Arcee stole the AllSpark aboard a second [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]. With the AllSpark removed from Sentinel's device, the sun it held in place disappeared. Optimus escaped, rescuing Ironhide from Starscream and Shockwave while leaving Megatron to free himself of his hungry hatchlings. Megatron swore he would recover the AllSpark, and that if he would have to travel across the entire universe to do so, he would kill every Autobot. {{storylink|Transformers: Foundation|Foundation #1-4}}

[[File:Movie Megatron Targetcomic sure.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb|"Sit, boy — or I'll beat you to death."]]

During an assault on the Autobots personally led by Megatron and his hound, [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], the tyrant crushed an Autobot opponent's spark before casually tossing his corpse over his shoulder. He declared that the AllSpark would be his again, to which Blackout assured his leader that he would personally see to it. Megatron was pleased by his minion's loyalty, but decided to dispatch him to assist Starscream's unit to prevent Optimus Prime's reinforcements from entering [[Tyger Pax]]. He then left to meet his destiny, but it slipped from his grasp; Prime had commissioned the AllSpark to be launched into the abyss of outer space. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} {{storylink|Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall}}

[[File:MovieMegatron Bumblebee torture comic.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Better get some ice on that.]]
After realizing Bumblebee had stalled him from claiming the Cube so the operation could be completed, Megatron tore off Bumblebee'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|Movie Prequel #1}} {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}} Megatron, believing Prime to be a desperate, inexperienced fool, gave chase. On the way, he detected the ''Nemesis's'' 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|Defiance #4}} As Megatron tracked the AllSpark through space, he mused about his reasons for the war and how he and his "brother" were not all that different, as seen by Optimus' sentencing their home to a slow death by launching the Cube into space. Tracing the AllSpark via energy signature to [[Earth|a primitive world]], he lost contact with it upon atmospheric entry and crashed into the planet's icy northern pole. Low on [[energon]], his safety buffers exhausted, Megatron went into [[stasis lock]].

[[File:MoviePrequel2-Megatrondownfall.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"I HAVE WALKED INTO THIS!"]]

Millennia later, in the year [[1897]], [[Archibald Witwicky]], the leader of the National Arctic Circle Expedition, discovered Megatron buried deep in the ice. Accidentally triggering Megatron's navigation system, Witwicky was blinded by a burst of light from the Decepticon leader's eyes, which imprinted the location of the AllSpark on his [[glasses]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 2|Movie Prequel #2}} Witwicky was subsequently driven insane by the experience, and upon his return to land, became the subject of attention by the United States government, who recruited adventurers [[Walter Simmons]] and [[Theodore Joseph Wells]] to investigate his fantastic claims. Simmons, Wells and their group followed Witwicky's route back to the Arctic, arriving early [[1898]], where they discovered Megatron's frozen body, and like Witwicky before them, inadvertently activated one of his systems upon entry into the cave, bringing him partially back on-line. The energy pulse this released caught the attention of [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]], a [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] abandoned on Earth by The Fallen, who quickly made his way to the Arctic, believing that The Fallen himself was the source of the pulse. Discovering the truth, Jetfire angrily informed Megatron that he has never heard of him, and punched him in the face. Simmons and Wells's group subsequently used explosives to send Jetfire punging into the freezing ocean; Megatron, too, was submerged, but jut before the cold overwhelmed him and he shut down again, he weakly proclaimed his name, which Simmons mis-heard as "Mega-Man". {{storylink|Original}} Simmons's organization set about constructing an environment dome around Megatron so he could be excavated and studied, which was completed in [[1899]]. Then, in [[1902]], the group discovered the AllSpark in the Colorado River, and quickly drew a correlation between it and their frozen "Mega-Man" because of the similar symbols that they were both decorated with. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 2|Movie Prequel #2}}

Eventually naming itself [[Sector Seven]] and arranging construction of the [[Hoover Dam]] to contain the AllSpark, the group initially planned to move Megatron to the dam as well in [[1935]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 3|Movie Prequel #3}} Unfortunately, some delays in the installation of the cryo-block system that would keep Megatron frozen delayed the planned move, however, and the outbreak of [[World War II]] put it on permanent hold. {{storylink|Weapon (issue)|Weapon}} It was in [[1954]] when Sector Seven definitively learned that they could not trust the Arctic cold to keep Megatron frozen when Communist sabotage of the organization's Arctic command post caused the Decepticon leader to thaw out, threatening the lives of the skeleton crew manning the base. Walter Simmons called for liquid nitrogen bombs to be dropped on the base, freezing Megatron solid once more only minutes after he awoke. {{storylink|Frozen}} In [[1969]], Megatron was at last transferred from the Arctic to the Hoover Dam headquarters. as Walter Simmons stayed looking at him. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 4|Movie Prequel #4}}

In the aftermath of the battle in Mission City, [[Sector Seven]] hauled away Megatron'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 AllSpark fragment glowed when near Megatron's body, and gave it to [[Vine|Professor Vine]] for safekeeping. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}} Weeks later, Megatron, along with Blackout, was dumped into the Laurentian Abyss. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}

Later, after Megatron's machinations with The Fallen were undone by Optimus and his Autobots, Megatron freed Shockwave, whose inactive body had been captured by humans much as his had been. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} When Starscream dared to question Megatron's latest scheme, the Decepticon leader took out his frustration by pummeling his underling, reminding him to always remember his place in the Decepticon hierarchy. Fed up with being pushed around, Starscream shoved Megatron back and took to the air. Megatron didn't bother to pursue, as he knew that one way or another, Starscream would always return to him. {{storylink|Transformers: Starscream}}

Megatron sent out Shockwave to retrieve Starscream and his subordinates, who have clandestinely begun dealing Cybertronian weaponry to humans. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}} As he waited, Megatron fumed about Optimus Prime's past decision to send out the AllSpark into space, internally justifying to himself all his past deeds as necessary evils in the face of Optimus's own transgressions against their species. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} While Shockwave and Starscream did their parts in Megatron's scheme, Megatron stayed behind in Nambia, teaching the hatchlings under his care to recognize the image of Optimus Prime, presumably to know him as their enemy. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Megatron led an attack force, consisting of Barricade, Onslaught, and some combat drones, on a [[Schick]] R&D department in hopes of using the devices inside Dr. [[Hiroshi Benson]]'s laboratory to build an Energon converter. Standing in his way were Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hound, and [[Hydrobot (TLK)|Hydrobot]]. Just before Megatron and Optimus could dish it out, Megatron grabbed a hold of Hiroshi but failed to stop the human from explaining how to use the [[Energy-field razor|control set]] against the Decepticons. A surprise punch from Optimus staggered Megatron and gave Hydrobot enough time to snitch the device away and use it to release a shock burst of [[H-Boostium]] through Bumblebee's stingers towards the Decepticons, prompting them to retreat. {{storylink|A New Friend|A New Friend}}

Even as [[Lord High Protector]], {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} Megatron was scheming to take power of Cybertron and worlds beyond. He believed the Transformers could gain ultimate power via the All Spark, power to reshape their [[alternate mode]]s into anything they imagined. Breaking all Cybertronian laws, he made direct contact with the All Spark to test his theory and found himself with a mighty new alternate mode. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4|Megatron V. Optimus Prime}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Megatron Profile}} War was declared and Megatron's army of Decepticons swept the planet.

Ratchet tried to negotiate a peace and was almost murdered by Megatron in the process. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3|Ratchet Profile}} When [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] fought injustices outside of any faction, Megatron personally made an example of her. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Arcee bio}}

To stop Megatron getting the AllSpark, the Autobots tricked him into looking for it at [[Tyger Pax]] {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} while they launched 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, noticing the launch, was fully capable of catching up to the cube before it would enter the wormhole, but as he passed Cybertron's moon, he found himself ensnared by an Autobot tractor beam of remarkable strength that pulled him down to the moon's surface.

Megatron was able to create a drone unit capable of zeroing in on Optimus Prime's unique energy matrix signature within his spark core. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 1|Prelude: Optimus Prime}}

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 AllSpark's heels, but was unable to stop the cube from falling through the anomaly. Determined to have the AllSpark'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 AllSpark... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prelude: Megatron}}

Megatron entered the [[Solar System]], where he freed [[The Fallen]] from his pocket dimension prison on one of [[Saturn]]'s moons. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|The Fallen's profile}}

{{note|This leads into [[Movie Prequel issue 2|''Movie Prequel'' #2]].}}

Even when Megatron was missing in action, the idea he might come back was enough to stop [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] from killing Decepticons who'd ticked him off. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.1|Adrift in Space and Time}} The only exception was [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] but in the early 2010s, Megatron (with [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] was his catspaw) attacked and defeated this upstart. None of Bludgeon's men ''dared'' mess with Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.21|A Short, Sharp Lesson!}}

====Alternate timeline====
In [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma|another reality]], Megatron defeated Optimus at [[Mission City]], killed Sam Witwicky and took control of the AllSpark. He was fully linked to it and drew on its power—"It is me and I am it!"—giving him greater might and the ability to heal any wound. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}}

After conquering an unknown chunk of Earth (including the entire [[United States of America]]) with [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] as his second-in-command, he used the AllSpark'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's threat to nuke occupied America was hardly much of one. [[File:Megatron Bumbleslap.jpg|left|upright=1.95|thumb|"''Sigh'' Even mindless violence seems boring today..."]] The only thing bothering Megatron was those rebels breaking into Hoover Dam... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}}

Megatron personally arrived to face [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and hunted for him, trying to bait him into appearing. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight'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'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 "that all you got?", but was less impressed when Autobot reinforcements arrived. [[File:Megatron Titan12.jpg|right|upright=1.95|thumb|Megatron's BDSM Dungeon just wasn'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's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}}

Optimus Prime got the snot beaten out of him, every attack he landed on Megatron being repaired by AllSpark power. However, he distracted Megatron long enough for Bumblebee to hit him with the ''other'' thing they'd broken into the Dam for: Sector Seven's greatest weapon, a nanovirus that targeted AllSpark operation frequencies. Infected, the tyrant was consumed from within by his own power and collapsed dead. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

Or so it appeared. He'd downloaded his mind into the AllSpark interface module, knowing Starscream would take it and assimilate it into himself. And so Megatron was able to be a voice in Starscream'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}}

While Starscream didn't, he ''did'' follow Megatron's tactical suggestions. He had the Decepticons use both carrot (promise of truce) ''and'' 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}}
[[File:Starscreamseesthings Titan25.jpg|left|upright=1.95|thumb|''You're looking throooough me...'']]

This time Starscream ''did''... much to his dismay when he realised what he'd done. And so, when Stockade's New Decepticons stormed the [[Decepticon Heartland]], Megatron was there to "greet" them with fiery death!

Megatron fought Stockade in single combat, and [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]]-fueled punches rained down on him—only for him to ''grab'' a punch and use the momentum to hurl his opponent, berating him for lacking clear ambition to support his strength. This fight would've carried on except then the Autobots turned up. Trashing a rebellion, conquering Earth, ''and'' killing Optimus Prime in one day?! WOOOOO!

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, ''forever''.

"The Ice Man" 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 [[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.

While the convoy prepared their defenses and a Soviet strike force attacked trying to obtain the Ice Man.

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 [[Philip 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.

Megatron was ''born'' evil, always wanting domination of everything. {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys|Megatron (Movie Voyager)}} His fiery diatribes still managed to sway thousands, however. {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)/toys#Robot Replicas|Robot Replica Megatron}}

At some point, Megatron took a stealth mode so he could attack Optimus without warning. {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)/toys#Fast Action Battlers|Night Attack Megatron}}

When frozen on Earth, Megatron remained vaguely conscious and remembers a few things from when he warmed up slightly. At one point, his body was worshipped as a god by [[protohuman]]s. {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys|Premium Series Megatron}}

After being blasted into stasis lock by the AllSpark, Megatron was dumped in the sea. He remained trapped and seething with rage until the Decepticons fixed him using cannibalized parts from themselves. Regardless, Megatron gave no shits: he just wanted revenge! Now, feeling the AllSpark's power flowing inside him, he had the power to finally destroy Prime! {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 2|Megatron (ROTF Voyager)}} {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|Megatron (ROTF Leader)}}

In the end, that did nothing and Megatron swapped bodies for a new Blastwave Weapons Base arsenal. {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)/toys#Cyberverse|Blastwave Weapons Base}}

Though Megatron had fallen to Optimus Prime following the Battle of Chicago, a new evil was waiting to take his place. Designed by humans to be even more powerful than the fallen Decepticon leader, the mighty Galvatron steps forth to challenge the Autobots. {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)/toys#Generations|Galvatron (Voyager)}}

===Beast Wars Diorama Story===
[[File:BWDiorama Megatrons.jpg|thumb|left]]
On Earth in the past and in another universe, a group of [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], led by another [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], battled a contingent of [[Maximal]]s in a forest. {{storylink|Optimus Primal Chapter}}

Some time into the battle, a warp opened, bringing with it [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. After being defeated by the Maximals, Starscream joined the Predacons. {{storylink|Tigatron Chapter}} [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] later appeared and joined the Predacons, as well. As the battled raged, Megatron came in through the warp. {{storylink|Gimlet Chapter}}

The Decepticon Megatron brought along [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], and the two Megatrons combined their troops into a fearsome force against the Autobots and Maximals. In the ensuing skirmish, Megatron stood on a cliff edge and loomed over the battle. The two factions then took formation against each other with the intention of combining their energies to attack the opposing side. The Predacon Megatron led the combined Predacon/Decepticon force. With [[Motorarm (BWII)|Motorarm]] leading the charge, the Maximals and the Autobots attacked first. {{storylink|Motorarm Chapter}}

{{voiceactor|[[Tony Gialluca II]] (English)|[[Gerardo Vásquez]] (Latin-American Spanish), [[Ricardo Schnetzer]] (Brazilian Portuguese)}}
[[File:CyberMissions4 Megatron.JPG|right|thumb|300]]

Hiding in a disused factory, Megatron was able to cloak the energy signature of his spark, so that when Optimus and Sideswipe turned up, they didn't notice him hiding under a pile of girders. He was able to get the drop on them and sneeringly mocked them as they fought, until Sideswipe jabbed him in the foot. Optimus suggested he surrender, but Megatron instead transformed to tank mode and brought the roof down on them. By the time the two Autobots recovered, Megatron was gone. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 4}}

Not soon after the encounter, Megatron ordered his subordinate [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to rendezvous somewhere in the Arctic, and revealed that he knew of his ambition to take over leadership of the Decepticons. However, due to the Autobots tracking Starscream en route to Megatron's location, Optimus Prime appeared not long after. Starscream and Megatron double-teamed Optimus for a brief time before the other members of Optimus's team arrived. Ordering Starscream to deal with the others, Megatron continued to attack. Megatron is soon beaten down and asks his foe if he will finish him, but Optimus grants him mercy and allows him to escape. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 12}}

Megatron received the energy signature of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], and tracked him to a bullet train, which he soon stopped dead in its tracks (literally). [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]], [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], Starscream, and [[Mindwipe (ROTF)|Mindwipe]] soon arrived on the scene. As Megatron attempted to retrieve his fallen communications officer, he discovered that it was in fact a hologram created by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], and was a distraction while the Autobots arrived. Megatron once again fought Optimus, who pointed out that Megatron's alliances were merely because of fear, unlike the Autobots' alliances. The human military arrived, and the Decepticons were backed into a corner. Optimus then declared that they leave Earth or face the consequences. The other 'Cons retreated, while Megatron made one final promise to destroy Earth the next time around, and blasted off into space. {{storylink|Decepticons Attack}}

Megatron's latest scheme to defeat the Autobots was to dig a series of underground tunnels to ambush his enemies wherever they may be. Or, more precisely, his plan was to have Starscream dig the tunnels while Megatron supervised. When the two Decepticons surfaced to attack Optimus, Sideswipe, Bumblebee and Ironhide, they were thwarted despite the element of surprise being on their side. {{storylink|Training Day (book)|Training Day}}

===''Hunt for the Decepticons'' storybooks===
[[File:Megatronstucktoelectromagnet-PrimeTarget.jpeg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Megatron maintains his dignity as leader of the Decepticons.]]
Megatron planted a [[New lab assistant|Decepticon spy]] at Sam's university to exploit Optimus's friendship with the boy. He had his agent send a false distress signal to Optimus through Sam's computer, prompting Optimus to arrive alone at the university's science lab. There, Megatron used a supermagnet to lock Optimus in his vehicle mode. Now holding his enemy at a disadvantage, Megatron began to brutalize Optimus Prime. If not for Sam arriving at that moment and turning the supermagnet against Megatron, the Decepticon leader would have surely slain Optimus. With Megatron stuck to the magnet, he was reduced to relying on Starscream's help to be freed while Optimus and Sam escaped his clutches once more. {{storylink|Prime Target (book)|Prime Target}}

Upon witnessing Megatron being defeated by Optimus one too many times, Soundwave concocted a plan to damage the Autobots' reputation in the humans' eyes, whom he blamed for the Decepticons' continued failures. {{storylink|Satellite Meltdown}}

===''Spot the 'Bots''===
Megatron was hiding in broad daylight behind a tree when Optimus spotted him. Megatron tried to get away in his tank mode, but more Autobots joined the chase. Nonetheless, Megatron managed to make it to an old warehouse, where Starscream and Ravage were waiting for him. The two factions then battled it out for the fate of the Earth! {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Spot the 'Bots}}
{{-}}

===''Unite for the Universe''===
Megatron entrusted [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] with a mission to steal the fruits of N.E.S.T.'s most recent labor: the Unite Weapons Program. Megatron promised Bludgeon command of his Earth-stationed troops if he succeeded. Starscream protested, claiming that Earth should rightfully be his to command. Megatron dismissed his second-in-command, reminding him that all of Earth was his, and that those under him were little more than stewards to his reign. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 1|The Secret of Project: Unite}}

Starscream managed to acquire newfound power behind Megatron's back by imitating the human-Autobot alliance's process of recycling fallen Cybertronian bodies into upgrades. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|Bludgeon's Revenge}} The upgrade affected Starscream's mental stability, however, and seeing his subordinate sowing unnecessary destruction, Megatron decided to put an immediate end to his power play. Through [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], he tasked [[Brimstone (TF 2010)|Brimstone]] and [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] with taking Starscream down, but Starscream proved too powerful for them. Enraged, Megatron headed out to deal with Starscream himself. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|On the Road of Destruction}}

Slamming into the battlefield, Megatron warned Starscream that resisting him would only lead to greater suffering on his part. Uncowed, Starscream boasted that nothing could stop him, and the two Decepticons wrestled fiercely, ignoring the nearby Autobots. Optimus and his troops soon stepped in to interfere, prompting Megatron to focus on Optimus instead of the rebellious Decepticon. When Optimus refused to withdraw, as Megatron deemed the fight to be none of his concern, the Decepticon leader called in additional troops to support him. During the chaos, Ratchet managed to burn out Starscream's upgrades, rendering them unsalvageable. With any prize worth fighting for destroyed, Megatron sounded a retreat, vowing that soon he would have his reckoning against the Autobots. {{storylink|The Strongest Weapon}}

Long ago, during his search for [[AllSpark]], Megatron knew that the [[Knights of Cybertron]] were also pursuing the relic, so he approached them offering to surrender in return for amnesty. The Knights reluctantly accepted and the entirety of their group arrived for the meeting, but this proved to be a trap, and Megatron's forces wiped out the Knights.

Centuries later, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] reported an intercepted transmission from [[Evac (Ride)|Evac]], the Knights' lone survivor, who was approaching Earth. Despising Evac and the Knights for representing an era of Cybertron before him, one he wished to erase, Megatron deduced that he was tracking the last shard of the AllSpark, plotting to take the shard and destroy the last of the Knights in one fell swoop. {{storylink|Prepare for Battle (website)|Prepare for Battle}}

[[File:C-81andScalpel-CMW.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left|"No protectors here: no Lanterns, no Kryptonian. This world will fall - like all the others."]]
In one timeline, moments before Optimus Prime was able to dispatch Megatron after the Decepticons' destruction of Chicago, a mysterious force caused Megatron's position to spontaneously shift. Now finding himself behind his foe, Megatron killed both Optimus and Sentinel Prime. Megatron then proceeded to rebuild his Cybertronian empire, repairing himself bit by bit along the way. Despite Megatron's victory on Earth, a new Autobot leader eventually rose up to challenge him: [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Rodimus Prime]]. The Autobot/Decepticon war began anew, culminating in the final showdown between Rodimus and Megatron. The two warriors battled atop a space bridge, with Rodimus gaining the upper hand. The duel ended when Megatron, dangling from the space bridge, decided to simply let go and fall into the abyss instead of letting Rodimus's final blow strike its target. Megatron then awoke in [[Axiom Nexus]]. {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)/toys#Timelines|BotCon 2015 Megatron's bio card}}

Allegedly, when the Transcendent Technomorphs came upon Megatron, they mistook him for a derelict heap, and only identified his three Mini-Con companions, [[Boombox]], [[Heavyweight]], and [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]]. Megatron somehow obtained a counterfeit [[identification bolt]], and renamed himself "'''C-81'''" to avoid complications with Axiom Nexus's "Dux non Intruitus" law. C-81 then proceeded to gather a crew to work under him, including [[Battletrap (G1)|Battletrap]], [[Stepper (SG)|Stepper]], and [[Nebulon (SG)|Nebulon]]. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}} Together, they were Cybertron's most wanted criminals... save for C-81 himself, as the TransTechs were not specifically aware of him. Keeping his anonymity all the while, C-81 allowed other crime bosses to take credit for his work while he committed several thefts. {{storylink|Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist|Rook - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/06/16}} {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}} With the technology he acquired, C-81 planned to build an interuniversal gate, and provide paying customers with an "off-the-books" travel agency. On his final raid, his greed got the better of him, and his crew wound up on the run from the local police force. Despite his efforts to cut through [[Seeker-Shinai]], an [[Axiom Nexus Security Administration|OZSA]] team led by [[Hound (G1)|Sergeant Hound]] caught up with him, and C-81 was brought to the offworlder maximum security prison.

[[File:C-81ripsBeet-ChitfromZaptrap-CMW.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5|Primitive beings.]]
While being held, C-81's crew met two more criminals that ranked amongst the most wanted on the planet, [[Oilmaster]] and [[Packrat]]. With these new recruits, the whole gang managed to escape the prison, only to find Axiom Nexus shut down on the outside. They then headed to Axiom Nexus's underground tunnel system, and made their way to one of their hidden weapons stashes. There, they bumped into [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)|Lift-Ticket]], [[Burn Out (Diaclone)|Burn Out]], and [[Spy-Eye]], who immediately took off. Suspecting this trio might report them to the authorities, C-81's crew gave chase, only to wind up in the middle of a [[Waruder]] nest. They battled these extradimensional invaders for a time, but found themselves overwhelmed by sheer numbers. The tables turned when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|General Optimus Prime]] and Sergeant Hound joined in, along with the returning Burn Out and Lift-Ticket. C-81 was instrumental to the victory against the Waruders. He ripped out [[Beet-Chit|their commander]] from [[Zaptrap|his exo-suit]], and forced him to negotiate. Offering a Cybertron free of opposition in exchange for their peaceful departure, C-81 completed his interuniversal gate and escorted the Waruders to the abandoned planet. General Optimus Prime informed C-81 that he could not allow him to keep his gate, but agreed to keep C-81's identity a secret out of gratitude. In the end, C-81 was simply glad to have had the adventure. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
In [[Tyran 609.23-PX Kappa]], Megatron rather than Optimus Prime killed the Fallen. Galvanized by his victory, Megatron returned to space to gather his army. He considered conquering Earth but realized that the true prize was Cybertron. With his troops ready for combat, Megatron led them on a successful campaign all over Earth against the Autobots and NEST. He also had Soundwave plant clues about the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s presence on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] for Sam Witwicky to discover. Optimus Prime fell for the bait and took the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' to the Moon to revive [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. Backed into a corner by the Decepticons' offensive, Optimus hastily revived Sentinel on the Moon's surface, and Megatron captured Optimus with the traitorous Sentinel's aid. With the aid of human collaborators, Megatron used [[space bridge]] technology to bring Cybertron into Earth orbit. Under the leadership of Dylan Gould, humans were put to work strip-mining Earth for resources to repair Cybertron.

Everything changed with the arrival of [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], who demanded that Prime be handed over to him. Megatron and Sentinel both refused, the former out of pride and the latter out of loyalty. However, when Sentinel was tempted by Lockdown's offer of a protomatter [[seed]], Optimus used the opportunity to reignite Sentinel's sense of justice. Sentinel pretended to hand over Optimus, proceeding to ambush Lockdown, defeat him, and capture his [[Knight Ship|vessel]]. Allying themselves with the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]]s, Sentinel and Optimus Prime waged a long guerilla campaign against Megatron's Decepticons, eventually restoring humankind's freedom and revitalizing Cybertron with the seed. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 22/7/2015}}

In [[Tyran 511.0 Kappa]], Megatron also returned as Galvatron, but his old subordinate [[Wild Rider]] remained loyal to his new Autobot comrades even in the face of Megatron's rebirth. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 16/9/2015}}

At one point, Megatron obtained a new flame-based power for himself.

===''Transformers''===
[[File:Movie Megatron olduglyface.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|I'm blind!]]
*The prototype photographs on the back of Fast Action Battler, Leader, and Voyager class Megatron's 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. Legends class Megatron retains this head shape, as do a few children's picture books.
*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 AllSpark ''immediately'' after its launch.
[[File:EarlyMegsMovieConceptartwithG1headandbody.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|This would've shut [[GEEWUN|them]] up.]]
*The earliest concept designs of Megatron gave him a look very much inspired by his ''Generation One'' counterpart. Unlike the Cybertronic jet seen in the first movie, this Megatron was intended to transform into an army tank.
*According to ''[[The Quest for the AllSpark]]'' paperback's opening paragraph, "...Most revered were Optimus and Megatron. They were twin brothers of the Prime dynasty." (This implies that Megatron may have also had the surname "Prime" at one time.) Similarly, in the ''Autobots'' version of the same DS game, it is noted that Megatron "took the spark" of his and Optimus' father. However, in the [[Transformers Comic issue 2.12|twelfth issue of Titan's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comic]], [[Barricade (Movie)|"Barricade"]] informed readers that Megatron and Optimus weren't related, the term "brother" was just because they'd known each other for so long. However, the ''[[Transformers: Foundation|Foundation]]'' comic series sheds more light on this, with Optimus and Megatron being LIKE brothers and Sentinel being like a father to them and his supposed death on Megatron's order brings the whole scenario full circle.
*Early script drafts and a [[Optimus Prime Versus Megatron|children's picture book]] featured Megatron consuming the [[spark]]s of his fallen foes, but this didn't make it into the final film due to time constraints. The novelization 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's doing the same there.
*[[Detroit]] Lions American football player Calvin Johnson has earned the nickname [[Megatron (human)|Megatron]], due to his large stature and unstoppability. Since he got the nickname around the same time as the movie was in theaters, we assume he was named for this Megatron. Johnson has worn a hat with the Decepticon logo on it.<ref>[http://larrybrownsports.com/football/calvin-johnson-now-rocks-a-megatron-transformers-hat-picture/92078 Calvin Johnson now rocks a Megatron Transformers hat]</ref> Nike came out with a limited edition line "Megatron" styled sports gear for the 2012 Thanksgiving Day game.<ref>[http://www.nikeblog.com/2012/11/22/nike-calvin-johnson-megatron-collection/ Nike Calvin Johnson ‘Megatron’ Collection]</ref>
*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.<ref>Robertson, Barbara (2007). Heavy Metal. ''Computer Graphics, 30''(7), 12-17.</ref>
[[File:MBMovieMegatronAttacks.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|You'll find battling me A COSTLY MISTAKE, Optimus Prime!]]
*The [[Milton Bradley]] [[Transformers Battling Card Game]] depicts a couple of unique attacks for Megatron's original form; one card gives him a pair of forearm-mounted blades as an "Arm Sword", and another shows him firing a swarm of missiles from his chest in a "Missile Attack".

===''Revenge of the Fallen''===
*It was decided that Megatron would not be renamed Galvatron in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' for the sake of the general audience.<ref>[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.]
</ref>
*While ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe]]'' and the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]] create 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. Of course, whether or not his flying tank mode is considered a third mode is up to interpretation.
** It is entirely possible, however, that Megatron was originally intended to be a triple changer, and it was decided later in pre-production for him to transform into a tank/jet hybrid. This could explain why the original leader class toy merely transformed into a tank, while the later released voyager had a more screen accurate winged tank alt-mode.
*According to his bio on the Hasbro sticker sheets, ''Revenge'' Megatron weighs in at 5.7 metric tons, is 35 feet tall, uses an 'Ion-fused chain whip' for his primary weapon, has a 'Strength power level' of 10, and changes into an 'Interstellar jet.' The mention of a chain whip and a jet mode seem to indicate the card's stats were based on his original form, rather than his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' tank mode. The card also surmises that Megatron's might will 'make the Earth quake, and the stars fall from the sky.' The two-disc special edition of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD also gives him a height of 35 feet.
*In the ''Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe'', it states Megatron possesses an internal self-regenerating [[Dark matter fission cell|dark matter power core]] which is possibly of alien origin.
*Megatron's story was altered significantly during development of ''Revenge of the Fallen'': the climax of the film would have revealed Megatron served The Fallen under the pretense of becoming a Prime, which Optimus exposes a lie, explaining Primes are born, not made. An angered Megatron refused to aid The Fallen in his final battle, and returned to the ''Nemesis'' via The Fallen's space bridge to raise an army of hatchlings. In the final film, he is removed from the battle by having Optimus disfigure him with his own cannon, which would lead to his introduction in ''Dark of the Moon''.

===''Dark of the Moon''===
*His weatherbeaten Mack tanker truck mode and Cybertronian sawed-off shotgun as seen in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' are fairly straightforward nods to the 1981 film ''{{w|Mad Max 2|Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior}}''.
*The whole notion of him even being [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|a tanker truck]] in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' in the first place might be a nod to executive producer [[Steven Spielberg]]'s first movie, ''{{w|Duel (1971 film)|Duel}}'', where a similar truck is the main "bad guy".
[[File:TF3concept-Galvatron-MassiveBlack.jpg|thumb|"There are plenty of Autobot shoulders for you. Ultra Magnus' shoulders are MINE!"]]
*Early concepts for Megatron's ''Dark of the Moon'' design called him Cyclonus in an attempt to curb leaks and spread misinformation. Concept art for "Galvatron" was created by [[Massive Black]] artist [[Bruno Gore]]. Whether he was intended to be an upgraded Megatron or a separate character entirely is unknown.
*Megatron's story was altered significantly during development of ''Dark of the Moon'': Megatron would have survived by returning to Cybertron after Optimus accepts the truce for helping kill Sentinel. In the final film, Megatron's offer comes across as less than sincere, allowing Optimus to finally tear his head off. While the original ending would leave an open possibility for a fourth film, the final cut seemed to wrap up the film series... until ''Age of Extinction'' was conceived.
*In ''[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]'', Megatron appears in his ''Dark of the Moon'' body, but with the "[[Death-lock pincer|murder arm]]" used in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

===''Age of Extinction''===
[[File:AOE-Galvatron concept art.jpg|thumb|280px|Well...at least he managed to ''look like'' a [[Dynasty of Primes|Prime]]...]]
*In ''Age of Extinction'', the "axe wound" in Megatron's head has shrunk considerably since the previous film; although, if Megatron was alive, then he may have been able to heal his wounds to some degree.
*Interestingly (perhaps to avoid movie spoilers), the toy [[bio]] for the Voyager Class Galvatron toy packaging portrays the character as a separate entity from Megatron, akin to Galvatron's [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|2005 IDW counterpart]].
*The creation of Galvatron as a counterpart to Optimus Prime, takes cues from [[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]]; in particular the human-controlled ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|character]]. This is even more supported by the concept art, here on the right, wich represents Galvatron with a modified Prime-like helmet.
*Hasbro's website says that Galvatron's chest contains a "[[Vortex Grinder]]", like [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]'s. This could be why Optimus Prime's sword shattered inside of Galvatron's chest.
*The purple image of Megatron in cryogenic hibernation that can be seen on screens in the background inside Hoover Dam in ''Transformers'', is re-used on a screen in the background at [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI Headquarters]] when [[Cade Yeager|Cade]] first gets chased by security guards.

===''The Last Knight''===
*The red "scar" on Megatron's face came about one day when Michael Bay went into [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] and asked the animators to add red markings to Optimus Prime and Megatron's faces and come up with an explanation for them. Visual effects artist Chris Zammit came up with the idea that the markings were the use of [[Dark Energon]] due to its mind-control abilities and the presence of Unicron in the film.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mke7biooPA4&ab_channel=TFcon The Explanation for Megatron's Red Face Paint in Transformers The Last Knight Discussion at TFcon]</ref> The idea was scrapped, leaving the red markings as some kind of "paint".
*Megatron is the only character appearing in all five main entries of the film series to have received a distinctly different body design and alternate form for each film. While each of the changes he undergoes in prior films is given an explicit in-story reason, his body in ''The Last Knight'' is left unexplained. However, there are enough context clues in the film (from the red markings to his knowledge of the Talisman and Unicron) to figure out that Quintessa may be responsible for his latest body change.
**This might even have something to do with why he's calling himself "Megatron" again instead of "Galvatron," or why he no longer transforms via a cloud of [[Living metal#Live-action film series|Transformium]].
*Megatron was originally planned to transform into a Cybertronian [[Dragon]], with his ''ikakalaka'' sword forming his tail. This alt-mode was eventually scrapped in favor of his new jet mode, which was originally designed as a fighter jet for the [[Guardian Knight]]s.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CEccCgvDAXl/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Josh Nizzi reveals Megatron dragon design] on Instagram.com</ref> This could explain why he has virtually no jet [[kibble]] in his final design.

===''Bumblebee''===
*As seen in a test cut of ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', there was supposed to be a post-credits scene with [[Jack Burns|Burns]], [[Seymour Simmons|Simmons]], and [[General Whalen|Whalen]] discussing that the Autobots can never learn of "N.B.E.-01." As such, Megatron would have made an appearance in this scene, frozen in ice as per the 2007 movie. The scene, however, was ultimately removed from the final cut.
**Like much of the robot cast, Megatron would have been given a design heavily influenced by his Generation 1 [[Megatron (G1)|namesake]]. His ''Movie Edition'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]] Series 5 toy is modeled after this unused design.
*''[[Sector 7 Adventures: The Battle at Half Dome]]'' would later include a recreation of the deleted post-credit scene with Megatron.
*[[Travis Knight]] initially wanted Megatron to appear during the Cybertron scenes featured in later cuts of ''Bumblebee''. However, for continuity's sake, the Decepticon leader was omitted.<ref>[https://comicbook.com/movies/2018/12/19/bumblebee-deleted-megatron-decepticon-scene/ 'Bumblebee' Deleted A Megatron Scene] on comicbook.com</ref>

This page is best read at high speeds.

'''Blurr''' is positively and incontrovertibly without possibility of any doubt the fastest-thinking, fastest-talking and fastest-driving data courier and messenger from the planet of Cybertron, and if you or your friend or anybody else you know or anybody else you might not know or in fact anybody at all wants to send any kind of message or dispatch or parcel or data or in fact anything at all to any base or station or out-of-the-way depot, barracks, headquarters, outpost, or post office and it is absolutely essential to deliver it immediately or at the earliest opportunity and without any delay of any kind regardless of Decepticons or obstacles or foul weather or gloom of night then Blurr's the one to pick, sir, so just give him the good word and the item in question and Blurr is off like a [[Cybertronic race horse]], if there were such a thing as a Cybertronic race horse, and if such a beast was able to break the sound barrier on land and leave only dust clouds and lingering after-images, because Blurr leaves only dust clouds and lingering after images, but he'll be off that quickly with your message in hand, and if any hostile power or enemy or Decepticon ambush should get in the way then he'll hit them with a blast from his electro-laser which will reverse the polarity of their microcircuits and they'll be stopped. Dead.

His [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] partner is [[Haywire]], who sometimes becomes his head as a [[Titan Master]].

Blurr first raced onto the scene during the [[Battle of Autobot City]] and continued to serve under Rodimus Prime for years afterward. In one splinter timeline, he became a Targetmaster, while in another, he became a Headmaster. In both, he went fast.

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
Blurr was four million years old. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

''Hundreds of years ago, Blurr and [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] were captured by aliens from the planet [[Tyroxia]], but Hot Rod managed to escape in a [[Hot Rod's shuttle|ship]]. The ship was pursued by the [[Tyroxian]]s, but the aliens were intercepted a [[Kup's ship|ship]] piloted by the Autobot [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]], an old-timer who was suffering from [[combat fatigue]] and had sent himself off to pasture. Hot Rod implored Kup to help him and Blurr, but Kup maintained that he was done with the war and was of no use to anyone. Ultimately, Kup had to rescue Hot Rod and Blurr from the Tyroxians one final time, and the old mech decided to give the war one more go.'' {{storylink|Kup's Story!}}

[[File:RingofHate-Blurremissary.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|So much for the Tolerant Left Arm!]]
Blurr was part of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]]'s unit on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when the commander reached a turning point. After Blurr helped free a group of captive Autobots being herded into the [[smelting pool]], Fortress Maximus announced that he was quitting the war and leaving for the peaceful planet [[Nebulos]]. Blurr and the others were stunned by this announcement, but nonetheless decided to join Fortress Maximus in his exile.

Blurr was sent as an ambassador to the Nebulan capital city, [[Koraja]]. However, the politician [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]] did not trust these visitors to his world, and so he sabotaged the meeting to convince the others to rise up against the Autobots. While Blurr spoke, [[Krunk]] fired a magenetic polarizer weapon at Blurr's arm, which caused it to spasm and topple a fountain sculpture. As the debris bounced around, endangering the surrounding civilians, Zarak's personal militia retaliated, and Blurr fled.

Fortress Maximus didn't give up on peace with the Nebulans, however, and he took Blurr and the others back into Koraja. In order to prove to the Nebulans that he could be trusted, Fortress Maximus offered his head to them. A few other Autobots followed his lead and offered their heads, while Blurr and the rest surrendered only their weapons. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

The headless Autobots were kept under surveillance by the Nebulans, while Blurr's group of weaponless Autobots retreated to the forest, where they began construction of their headquarters. When the [[Council of Peers]] arrived to inspect the Autobots' efforts, Blurr showed them around. He pointed out Hot Rod, who was listening in on their Cybertron headquarters, but not transmitting anything, lest the Decepticons learn their location. Zarak and [[Vorath]] took this opportunity to lock onto the frequency, and they later used this information to contact the Decepticons. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}

[[File:BrothersinArmor-Targetmasters.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Wonder what happens if you forget to catch them.]]
The Decepticons arrived, and after both sides adopted the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] process, the Headmaster Autobots were captured by the Decepticons. Blurr and the remaining Autobots who lived in the forest remained weaponless, so they teamed up with various Nebulans who sided with the Autobot-allied Nebulan [[Galen]] and thus were considered criminals by the Council of Peers. Blurr's partner was [[Haywire]], who had, like the others, undergone the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] process to become a weapon for his partner.

Blurr and the other Targetmasters headed for the [[Nursery (Nebulos)|Nursery]], where they found themselves under attack by [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. The Autobots' new Targetmaster powers overwhelmed the Decepticons, but not before the Nursery was reduced to rubble. Zarak, who was Scorponok's Headmaster partner, realized that this war was quickly destroying the planet he loved, and so he freed the Autobot Headmasters, allowing the Autobots to leave Nebulos. The Decepticons followed Blurr and the other Autobots to [[Earth]], where they wished to respond to an Autobot distress signal. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

When Galen died on Earth and his role as Fortress Maximus's Headmaster partner was assumed by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], Spike led Kup and the other Targetmasters on a mission to the [[Club Con|Decepticon's island headquarters]] to rescue his brother, [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]. After Blurr and the other Targetmasters were attacked by the island's defense measures, the island transformed into a spaceship and launched into space. {{storylink|The Desert Island of Space!}} Soon, Fortress Maximus's Autobots met up with the Earth-bound Autobots led by [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], and the two Autobot camps wound up witnessing a battle between Grimlock and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] for Autobot leadership. Blurr, along with the Autobots from both camps, began to watch this battle on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] when [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s Decepticons unleashed a surprise attack. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

''Blurr was enjoying some downtime aboard the Ark when Thunderwing and a motley crew of Decepticons attacked. Responding alongside his commander, Blurr joined in blasting the would-be Decepticon leader and forcing him off the ship.'' {{storylink|Assault on the Ark!}}

[[File:Allfalldown-blurr.jpg|left|upright=0.5|thumb|Blurr's keyboard doesn't even HAVE a spacebar.]]
When the Decepticon [[Air Strike Patrol]] attacked [[MacDill Air Force Base]] on Earth, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] (who had returned to command) led most of the Autobot Army into battle, including Blurr, leaving only a skeleton crew behind on the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} After Scorponok's Decepticons arrived as well, Prime ordered Blurr and the rest of his troops to return to the Ark, suspecting an unknown entity was orchestrating this battle behind the scenes. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} When Blurr and the others returned to the Ark, they discovered that not only was [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]] missing, but in his absence [[Blackjack (G1)|Blackjack]] had disabled the skeleton crew and placed bombs on board. Blackjack, who was startled by the Autobots, dropped the bomb, which started the countdown. Kup refused to allow the Autobots to flee the Ark in its shuttles, citing the lack of time to evacuate their fallen comrades in the medical bays, which prompted Blurr to panic. Blurr and the others were saved when Ratchet, who had been kidnapped by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] (the mastermind behind the whole affair), arranged for the bombs to be teleported to Cybertron. Instead of blowing up the Ark, the bomb detonated inside Megatron's headquarters, apparently killing both Megatron and Ratchet. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

News of Ratchet's demise sent Optimus Prime into a depression, and Hot Rod took it upon himself to snap Optimus out of it. Concocting a scheme wherein a [[Guardian (Marvel)|Guardian Mark V battle droid]] would go "berserk" ended with the unit going on a genuine rampage. Blurr was knocked aside by the Guardian before Prime eventually snapped out of his funk and defeated the droid to save the day. {{storylink|Yesterday's Heroes!}}

When Thunderwing invaded the Ark once more, this time possessed by the Matrix, Blurr used his speed to good advantage, dodging the Decepticon's attacks and punching the Matrix-aura demon repeatedly. These blows accomplished little, though, and the aura punched him back. {{storylink|All Fall Down}} The Matrix was believed to be lost in this battle, and so Optimus Prime, who feared the imminent arrival of their race's godlike enemy, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], took drastic measures. The Autobot leader surrendered his forces to Scorponok's Decepticons, hoping to secure an alliance against the coming Chaos Bringer. This did not please Blurr and the other Autobots, who were forced to turn over their weapons and Nebulan partners. {{storylink|Surrender!}}

Though Unicron was defeated during the Autobots' and the Decepticons' armistice, the latter faction, true to form, turned on their allies in short order. Now under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s leadership, they rampaged on the planet [[Klo]], slaughtering its organic inhabitants. The Autobots, likewise under Grimlock's new management, followed Bludgeon's troops, but wound up stumbling into an ambush as soon as they made landfall. Blurr was among the casualties of the battle, his busted-up corpse littering the ground alongside many of his comrades. He was presumably resurrected by the [[Last Autobot]], who arrived to turn the tide of battle alongside Optimus Prime and the [[Neo-Knights]]. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
{{note|The movie adaptation, originally published by Marvel US, is in italics}}
In the future year [[2003]], Blurr was among the many Autobots stationed at the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] when [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] began his plans for a new [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] on Earth. It was his responsibility to send a hyper-speeded radio signal to Earth's governments, informing them about the secret plans for the city. Apparently, the Autobots decided regular codes would be too much work, so they just had Blurr dictate the plans! {{storylink|Ark Duty}} He was also on-site a year later at the grand opening of Autobot City, and helped defend their honored human guests from an assault by [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] and the Decepticons. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

In [[1990]], Blurr, Kup, and Hot Rod were captured by Megatron, but managed to escape thanks to the efforts of a double-agent named [[Warmonger]]. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

''Megatron went on to lead his Decepticons in an all-out offensive against Autobot City, only to be beaten back by Optimus Prime. Blurr witnessed the Autobot leader pass on the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus before succumbing to the fatal wounds that had been dealt to him in this fateful duel.'' {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}}

[[File:Target2006-BlurrHotRodKup.jpg|thumb|left|upright=2.2]]
[[File:MarvelUK87 Blurr.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|Looking rather green in the gills]]
Shortly after the attack on Autobot City in [[2006]], Blurr received some psychic coaching from Unicron to follow the new Decepticon leader, Galvatron, back through time to [[1986]] and stop his plans. Blurr was joined by Kup and Hot Rod, and upon materializing in the 20th century they joined forces with the local Ultra Magnus. Being as colossally powerful as Galvatron was, Blurr and his allies decided subterfuge was the better course of action than brute force. In order to get Galvatron to return to the future without a fuss, they manipulated him into believing he had traveled cross-time to an alternate 1986, where his actions in the past would have no effect on his future. To this end, Blurr and his allies stashed [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]]'s inert form out of the way, {{storylink|Target: 2006}} {{storylink|Stargazing}} disguised [[Skywarp (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Skywarp]] as the former, and goaded Galvatron into destroying him. It really proved to be that simple, as Galvatron now believe his timeline couldn't come to pass, with Starscream having perished far too early. Galvatron returned to 2006 with his cronies, and Blurr, Kup and Hot Rod quickly followed suit. {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

Back in his own time, ''Blurr was among those gathered to hear a message from [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] as they reported Unicron's encroachment on [[Moonbase Two]]. As the Autobots prepared to head towards their allies and help them against the monster planet, they came under attack from Galvatron and his array of goons. Splitting into two groups, they narrowly managed to evade their pursuers by boarding a couple of shuttles and blasting off into space.'' {{storylink|Judgment Day!}}

[[File:BlurrTFMMarvel3.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
''Blurr's group wound up on the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]], their shuttle badly damaged. They barely managed to get any work done on their ship before Galvatron tracked them down again. Ultra Magnus was torn to pieces in the ensuing battle, and Galvatron took off with the Matrix of Leadership in hand. Blurr bemoaned that, without the Matrix, all hope was lost. Before any other opinions on the matter were offered, the hostile Junkions sprung forth! Thankfully, another ship carrying Hot Rod and several other Autobots arrived, and managed to talk peace with [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], the Junkions' leader. Wreck-Gar's troops rebuilt Ultra Magnus, and everyone on Junk readied for a final confrontation against Unicron. In the clash, the Autobots' ship speared through the titan's eye. Blurr the rest of the crew were separated from Hot Rod inside Unicron, but the former's group found Spike, Bumblebee, and Jazz. They were soon rejoined by Hot Rod, but in his absence he had reacquired the Matrix of Leadership, which had both upgraded him into "Rodimus Prime" and begun a chain reaction inside Unicron, culminating in his destruction! With Unicron's threat now dealt with, the Autobots gathered around Rodimus Prime, who announced that this day would mark a new chapter in Cybertronian history, one that would hopefully contain much peace and happiness.'' {{storylink|The Final Battle!}}

[[File:MarvelUK119 Kup Blurr.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|And thrust!, 2!, 3!]]
After Unicron was defeated in 2006, Galvatron again fled back in time. Unaware of this, the Autobots searched high and low for the missing Galvatron, eventually forced into giving up when no trace of their quarry turned up in months. In Galvatron's absence, Blurr and the rest of the Autobots continued to battle the Decepticons over control of Cybertron, with Shockwave leading the enemy's armies, and Rodimus Prime now as the newly risen Autobot leader. Blurr was part of an Autobot ambush against an [[airborne hunter squad]] when, upon the mission's completion, the Autobots finally learned of Galvatron's whereabouts. {{storylink|Wanted: Galvatron — Dead or Alive!}} Blurr was once again on the team that went back to retrieve him, this time teamed with Kup, [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and Rodimus Prime. {{storylink|Burning Sky!}} It was déjà vu all over again, as the future Autobots again joined forces with 20th century Ultra Magnus to counter Galvatron's latest scheme. The evil Decepticon planned to use a [[power siphon|magma siphon]] to drain power out of the [[Earth's core|planet's volcanic core]], and gain the strength of a god in the process. Mere seconds after locating Galvatron and engaging him in combat, however, Blurr and Kup were knocked off-line when Galvatron hurled Ultra Magnus's beaten body at them. {{storylink|Hunters}} After regrouping, the Autobots concocted a plan to steal Galvatron's [[time-jump trigger device]] and rewire it to propel them all back to their proper place and time. While Blurr and the others distracted Galvatron, Wreck-Gar and Rodimus Prime attempted to make the proper modifications. In the end, however, only the Autobots were launched back to the future; Galvatron had modified the device so that the temporal backlash did not affect him, and he stayed in the past. {{storylink|Fire on High!}}

Blurr remained one of Rodimus Prime's finest soldiers in the future. In [[2008]], he helped defend the Autobot position against a massive Decepticon offensive, {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} and accompanied Rodimus Prime on a rescue mission to Earth when the [[Quintesson]]s lay siege to Autobot City. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

When the [[Time rift|timestorm]] exploded over space in [[2009]], Blurr joined Rodimus Prime and several other Autobots in travelling back to [[1989]], in the hopes of somehow removing the menace caused by Galvatron's long-term temporal distortion. Unfortunately, the mechanics of the time-jump mass displacement shunted Optimus Prime and other Autobots of 1989 into [[Limbo]] as they arrived, leaving smoldering earth in their wakes. The neophyte Autobot sub-commander Fortress Maximus jumped to the wrong conclusions and led his 20th century warriors into battle with their 21st century counterparts. Blurr was double-teamed by [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]] before Optimus managed to communicate with Maximus through the Matrix in Rodimus Prime's chest and call an end to the fighting. Despite being thrown for the loop, AND shot by Galvatron once the Autobots all lined up on one side, Blurr held out through the entire fight, and was still standing during Optimus Prime's climactic brawl with Galvatron, after nearly every other warrior had been downed. {{storylink|Time Wars}}

[[File:MarvelUK224 Head Toss.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Why couldn't Haywire be a Headmaster partner? [[Haywire#Generations|Oh.]]]]
After the Time Wars, the Autobots returned to 2009, but found it radically changed in their absence. It seemed the timestream had rebooted itself as if Galvatron had never left for the past to cause the timestorm. With Galvatron still around to lead the Decepticons, they had managed to maintain control over Cybertron after the war with Unicron, and the Autobots held only a meager resistance movement on their homeworld. Blurr, Rodimus and the others returned to this "new" war as best they could, but were hopelessly outmatched on Cybertron. After suffering a communications breakdown with one of their outposts, Rodimus Prime and allies arrived only to find Galvatron had taken control of the base and slaughtered the Autobots present. He saved a particularly gruesome fate for Blurr, and actually tossed the poor Autobot's severed head at Rodimus Prime once he arrived. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

In another version of the future, Blurr actually survived! He lived 'til at least the year [[2510]] when he personally delivered the news to Rodimus Prime that the last Decepticon had been killed and the war was over. Of course, a new war between the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and the [[Wrecker]]s broke out within a solar cycle, so Blurr still had a chance to get killed in battle. {{storylink|Peace}}
{{-}}

=====Rhythms of Darkness!=====
In yet [[Primax 490.0 Gamma|another alternate future]], the Autobots faced near-extinction in [[2009]] when [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] destroyed Cybertron and [[Galvatron II|Galvatron]] had very nearly conquered Earth. Blurr and Kup were killed by [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] during the Decepticons' rise to power. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}

====''Regeneration One''====
{{NoteRG1}}
[[File:Hot rod blurr grapple loose ends.jpg|thumb|left]]
In [[2012]], while Optimus Prime was away on Earth, Blurr was stationed on Cybertron under the command of Hot Rod. Upon hearing that [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] had breached the [[Hall of Silence]] and enveloped it in a [[null field]] to prevent Autobot intervention, Blurr rushed to Hot Rod's side to inform him as much. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 4}} Unfortunately, he couldn't provide any useful advice on dealing with the situation. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 5}} Blurr attempted to find any variance in the null field's field harmonics, but after looking over its entire dome fifty times over, still couldn't find any way to breach it. Without options, Hot Rod was forced to order the destruction of the Hall, inadvertently covering Soundwave's escape with [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]'s remains. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}}

When [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] arrived on Cybertron and began corrupting Autobots' programming, Blurr remained unaffected. He saw [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] using the "Gene Key" on [[Over-Run (G1)|Over-Run]], and knew what to avoid after that. Along with [[Crosshairs (G1)|Crosshairs]], [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]], and [[Hosehead (G1)|Hosehead]], he formed a small group of survivors. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Three}} They met up with [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] at the [[Nursery (Cybertron)|Nursery]], and joined forces. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}} At the [[Civil Defense Hub]], Blurr and the others fought through the evil Autobot and Decepticon defenders, retaking the defense grid. Unfortunately, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and the ''[[Valiant (G1)|Valiant]]'' were returning from Earth at that time, and the Decepticon [[Clone (subgroup)|Clones]] had already keyed in an attack sequence. Even Blurr's speed couldn't race through all possible combinations of the deactivation sequence fast enough, so Crosshairs shot one of the Clones and promised to shoot the other if he didn't shut the missiles down. The Decepticon complied. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Five}}

Blurr worked security at [[Eugenesis Plaza]] during Hot Rod's first disastrous speech as leader of the Autobots. {{storylink|Destiny, Part One}} He later defended the [[Presidium (facility)|Presidium]] on the parapets during the Decepticon uprising. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}}

Afterwards, Blurr joined Ultra Magnus in hunting down [[Galvatron II|Galvatron]], but they were ambushed by [[Acolyte of Unicron|Unicron cultists]] and lost their quarry. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 1}} He was also seen with a group of Autobots speeding to the rescue of the [[Demon|Primordial Cybertronians]] when the [[Primum Fugae]] attacked. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 2}}

Blurr served on the bridge of Rodimus Prime's command vessel ''[[Priam]]'' when they attacked the [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]], but even his hyper-reflexes weren't fast enough to raise shields against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s counter-attack. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 3}} After being held prisoner, the Autobots escaped the Hub after Jhiaxus was taken down by the [[Underbase]]. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 4}} Back on Cybertron, Blurr and the Autobots discovered their world corrupted into a global necropolis by the [[Dark Matrix]]. They tracked the threat through the [[space bridge]] to [[Nebulos]] and Earth, and Blurr joined Ultra Magnus's squad on the first world where they defeated the possessed Galvatron and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

Blurr took part in a mission to an asteroid to find a new source of [[energon]]. When [[Lightspeed (G1 Technobot)|Lightspeed]] discovered a [[Observer|small life form]], Blurr had great fun playing with it, until Lightspeed insisted on conducting tests. After Magnus took the others in pursuit of [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and ran into a bunch more Decepticons, Blurr was instructed to bring [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] to the battleground. Blurr did so and even got to take a swipe at [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], but was promptly picked up and tossed into the distance by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. He came back pretty quickly, though. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}

When [[Monitorus]] arrived on Cybertron with the news that [[Tau-Ursa]] had been attacked and leveled by the Decepticons, Blurr rushed him to Optimus Prime and started alliterating a lot in his speech. They were soon interrupted by a Decepticon attack, which Blurr took part in an attempt to repel. As it turned out, the attack was a diversion while Galvatron used his new [[Nullification Cannon]] to nullify Cybertron's energon supplies.

Later, Blurr and Hot Rod traveled to Tau-Ursa to inspect the damage and search for stray Decepticons. They stumbled on [[Apeface|Ape Face]], who had found a [[Logicon]] warning beacon. A struggle ensued, and Blurr was able to wrest the beacon's recording tape from the Decepticon. The pair high-tailed it back to Cybertron, where the tape turned out to contain the coordinates to [[Metascan Alpha]], a planet containing a vast storehouse of energon. Blurr accompanied Optimus on a mission to the Decepticons' base on a derelict space destroyer to destroy the Nullification Cannon. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===Sticker Adventures books===
Blurr was part of the crew of an Autobot ship that was studying the Universe. He asked Springer to make note of several nearby stars. After being hit by meteors, they were forced to make landfall on the nearby Junk planet. Once they had landed, Blurr scouted out their surroundings, unaware that he was being watched by the Junkions. Wanting his engine, that Junkions chased him down and attacked the Autobots. The fighting stopped when Kup arrived on-world, and used the universal greeting to calm down the Junkions. Now friends, the Junkions and the Autobots worked together to fix the damaged ship. Blurr and the Autobots then blasted off and went on their way. {{storylink|Battle on the Junk Planet}}

Blurr was part of a small strike team of Autobots assembled by Ultra Magnus to help the Dinobots, who were currently engaged in battle against the Decepticons, just outside of Autobot City. After they defeated the Decepticons, Blurr and the others were cheered on by the nearby oil rig workers as they drove back to Autobot City. {{storylink|Battle at Oil Valley}}

Blurr was returning from a road trip with Daniel, Hound and Hot Rod, Bumblebee, Kup, Wheelie, Springer, and Sunstreaker when the group paused to eat at a rest stop. As the Autobots ingested Energon Cubes, Hot Rod asked Kup to tell a story. Kup told the others the story of how, upon first crash landing in Mt. St. Hillary, the Ark had lost an enormous shipment of Energon Cubes that remained lost to the day. Enthralled by Kup's story, the rest of the group were all eager to go looking for this lost treasure. When they realized that Laserbeak had been spying on them the whole time, and would soon inform Galvatron about the lost Energon shipment, BLurr and the others rushed back to Metroplex to inform Ultra Magnus. Blurr was the first to reach Ultra Magnus, but as he was talking too fast, Ultra Magnus could not understand a word that Blurr was saying. After a brief conference, Ultra Magnus led his troops to the Ark's crash site. Finding the Decepticons there already, the two factions began to fight. When the Energon stash was uncovered, it was completely gobbled up by Starscream who proclaimed himself the most powerful Decepticon. With nothing left to fight over, Blurr and the Autobots left Galvatron and Starscream to their squabble. {{storylink|The Lost Treasure of Cybertron}}

Blurr participated in a tumultuous battle on a moon base, wherein he joined forces with [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. Together, they tried to slay [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|Decipher the Decepticon}}

The Decepticons having stolen the Matrix of Creation, Blurr was called up by Ultra Magnus to help retrieve it. The Autobots used an army of [[decoy]]s to distract the Decepticons, while Blurr, Hot Rod, Kup, and Ultra Magnus infiltrated their base. Blurr then blasted the Matrix out of the crystal that held it, and the Autobots made their getaway. {{storylink|Start Your Own Decoy Collection}}

===Desert of Danger===

Blurr was stationed on the planet Nebulos when the Decepticons hatched a scheme to smuggle on-planet [[Attack Squad robot]]s. He was available as back up to the more active Hot Rod during his missions. {{storylink|Desert of Danger}}

===Autobot Alert!===
{{notemultipath}}
[[File:AutobotAlertMetroplex.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Alongside Springer and Beachcomber, Blurr was assigned a secret mission; to uncover the location of a sphere of cybertite, containing an ancient Autobot formula. When Decepticon storm troopers blasted their way into the Autobots’ research lab, Blurr was able to escape the skirmish and report back to Autobot headquarters about the situation. Upon his arrival at Metroplex city, Blurr learned that the Autobots had just learned of another crisis at hand; the Decepticons were taking over Earth's communication satellites. In spite of this, both he and Kup insisted that dealing with the Decepticons who stole the coded message should take top priority.

If Ultra Magnus agreed to prioritize theft of the coded message, Blurr was part of the captive audience that listened to Kup divulge information about an ancient Autobot formula. Blurr took off towards the Autobots’ desert research centre along with a number of other Autobots. Once there, they learned from Springer that the Cybertite sphere containing the formula was discovered by humans during the 16th century. If the Decepticons had decoded Springer's message, they would be searching off the coast of California, where the ship containing the sphere had sunk. If they hadn't decoded the message, the Decepticons would still be digging in the nearby crater.

If the Autobots decided to scope out the nearby crater first, Blurr raced Hot Rod to it, finding it void of any Decepticon activity. Combing the crater, the pair then found Beachcomber tied to an explosive device, and set out to rescue him. Once freed, Beachcomber informed the pair that the Decepticons had long ago broken the code and were already en route to retrieve the cybertite sphere. It would now be much to late to catch up to the Decepticons, and all hope to retrieve the orb before them was lost.

If Ultra Magnus decided to assume that the Decepticons had already decrypted the message, he ordered his forces to split up to more efficiently address the situation. Blurr was sent ahead to scout out the crater while the rest of the Autobots headed for the California coast. Fast as he was, Blurr was able to make it to the crater, double back, and meet up with the rest of the Autobot forces just as they arrived at the California coast. En route, he had spotted the incoming Decepticons, and warned Ultra Magnus to act quickly. The Autobots then needed to decide whether they would raise the ship themselves, or try and ambush the Decepticons after they had done so.

In one of the possible plans that Ultra Magnus came up with, Sludge and Hot Rod worked together to retrieve the sphere from the ship. Blurr was then tasked to return the sphere to Metroplex, while the rest of the Autobots lay hidden, ready to ambush the Decepticons. {{storylink|Autobot Alert!}}

===Ladybird Books continuity===

After [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s "joint" takeover of Cybertron with Ultra Magnus, Blurr was among the Autobots who rebelled against the idea. He joined an underground Autobot cell led by Kup and Hot Rod to oppose Shockwave. Along with fellow cell members Hot Rod and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], he observed a Decepticon shuttle (actually piloted by the Dinobots) from the [[Wastelands]]. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}}

Later, after [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]] brought an unconscious Optimus Prime to their base, Blurr and Wheelie tried to subdue the legendary Autobot from mistakenly pounding Gnaw to death after he woke up. (Blurr's attempt was to punch Optimus in the face, which nearly broke his hand. Points for gumption.) {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} Soon after, Blurr participated in Optimus Prime's Autobot uprising, battling the Decepticons and [[Guardian robot]]s, which ended Shockwave's rule. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}}

When a deadly nano-virus infected the Autobots stationed on Earth, Blurr, along with the rest of the Targetmasters and Headmasters, found himself immune to it. Blurr and the rest of the healthy Autobots traveled to Nebulos in order to retrieve a cure concocted by Supreme Scientist Zella. Once there, Blurr determined that there was no Decepticon activity via their ship's computer. Suspicious nonetheless, Kup left Blurr in charge of the ship's computer while he led a squad into the field. Kup's suspicions were confirmed when it was revealed that a squad of Decepticons had hidden in inner-space nearby to avoid detection. The Autobots retrieved the cure nonetheless, and Blurr was commended for his heroic actions when he returned to Earth. {{storylink|The Fierce Fighting on Planet Nebulos}}

The leader of the [[Flock]], '''Red''' has his... well, if he ''had'' hands, he'd have them full trying to keep the Flock's various eccentric personalities properly focused on protecting their eggs from [[King Pig]] and his flunkies. Not that Red is all that terribly stable himself, what with his limited temper.

Upon contact with the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|Eggspark]], Red was granted the powers of the powerful [[Autobot]]s [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (disambiguation)|Ultra Magnus]]... and the former's penchant for long-winded speeches. With his new robot body and the rest of the "Autobirds" backing him up, he's ready to protect [[Piggy Island]] from the greedy [[Deceptihog]]s and the mysterious plans of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbot]]s!

Once upgraded, Red is most commonly referred to as '''[[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]] Bird'''. He also goes by '''[[Ultra Magnus (disambiguation)|Ultra Magnus]] Bird''', '''[[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]] Bird''', and '''[[Blurr (disambiguation)|Blurr]] Bird''' depending on which form he has assumed. Combining with his other fellow Autobirds he takes on the role of '''[[Optimus Maximus (disambiguation)|Optimus Maximus]] Bird'''.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 Birdsareok.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]]
After the [[Bad Piggies]] had stolen a batch of the Flock's eggs, Red led his fellow birds on a raid to retrieve them. [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] managed to foul up Red's attack plan, causing the Bad Piggies' building to collapse on top of the Flock while [[King Pig]] and his minions escaped. Despite [[Stella (AB)|Stella]]'s insistence that they pursue the Bad Piggies, Red was more concerned with making sure that everyone was alright. As Red reprimanded Chuck for his bumbling, Stella pointed out that the [[Blues]] had flown off after the pigs on their own. Red led the search party to find the Blues, but the three little birds managed to find their way back on their own. [[File:ABTF2 OptimusPrimeBird Speech.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]] Though Red was confused by the Blues' babble about an "EggSpark" and "[[Deceptihog]]s", knowing that the eggs were still in danger was enough for him to start preparing another attack. Unfortunately, Chuck once more flew ahead of the group, compromising Red's plans. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

By the time Red caught up to Chuck, the EggSpark had transformed him and [[Hal]] into Bumblebee Bird and Grimlock bird, respectively. Scrutinizing his friends' new forms, he turned to Stella to explain to him what their strange new appendages were. ("Arms and legs," as it turns out.) Bumblebee Bird's new, more cautionary outlook to things only served to frustrate and confuse Red further. Eventually, Red was convinced that the rest of the Flock should grant themselves robotic bodies as well by touching the EggSpark. He was the last to do so, becoming Optimus Prime Bird after his upgrade. Along with a new form, Optimus Prime Bird gained a penchant for making long-winded inspirational speeches. He then ordered his troops to transform and roll out into action.

[[File:ABTF2 OptimusPrimeBird vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9|left]]
Upon catching up to the Deceptihogs, Optimus Prime Bird warned Megatron Pig that, though he did not want to fight, he would do so if the pig refused to hand over the eggs. His ultimatum became moot when Bumblebee Bird prematurely rushed into battle anyways, kicking off the scuffle. In the middle of the fight, the Flock's eggs sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be extremely hostile. Optimus Prime Bird was ready to continue his fight against Megatron Pig nonetheless, though his opponent called a time out so that he could take an incoming phone call. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 OptimusPrimeBird in combat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
On the other end of the line, [[Minion Pig|Starscream Pig]] informed his leader that the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbot]]s had begun to run wild on [[Piggy Island]], sowing chaos in their wake. This new development gave Optimus Prime Bird pause, leading him to agree to work with the Deceptihogs in order to stop the Eggbots' rampage. The alliance was a shaky one though, and Optimus Prime Bird soon found himself arguing with Megatron Pig once more on the battlefield. Optimus Prime Bird accused Megatron Pig of destroying civilizations for millions of years, to which a confused Megatron Pig responded that he only wanted to eat some eggs. Optimus Prime Bird was then talked down by Arcee Bird, and regained his bearings on the situation at hand. He then ordered Arcee Bird, Bluestreak Bird, [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]] and [[Bomb (AB)|Drift Bird]] to go rescue Starscream Pig from the Eggbots while another squad would capture an egg for study. Both group eventually returned, their objectives achieved. As Optimus Prime Bird began observing the captured Eggbot, Starscream Pig warned the group that the island's transformation was spiraling out of control. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF4 HappyBirds.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left]]
Despite the odds against them, and his ability to make inspiring speeches petering out, Optimus Prime Bird refused to give up hope. Thanks to [[Chef Pig|Soundwave Pig]]'s input on the situation, Optimus Prime Bird devised a plan to separate the EggSpark from the island, returning everything and everyone to normal in the process. He then led a mad dash towards the EggSpark while Bluestreak Bird fetched a giant slingshot to launch it off-planet. Thanks to everyone playing their part, Optimus Prime Bird finally came upon the EggSpark, only for [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] to go berserk at that moment. While both Optimus Prime Bird and Megatron Pig were distracted, [[Minion Pig|Starscream Pig]] seized the opportunity to grab the EggSpark, intent to use it for his own selfish goals. Thankfully, Bumblebee Bird stepped in at the last moment, and launched both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark into outer space. As everything reverted to its initial state, the Flock discussed the day's events between them. Red expressed that he had never before looked as forward to a quiet day... unaware that nearby, a robotic cactus had just sprung to life and begun blasting away at the scenery. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Optimus Prime Bird then tried to shake Megatron Pig's hand, but he was "too slow," and Megatron Pig laughed at him. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Angry Birds Transformers Comic-Con trailer}}

When Optimus Prime Bird tried to show off how cool he was, the awesome score suddenly changed into some disco music. The confused Autobird tried his best to dance to the tune. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Red as Optimus Prime}}

Megatron Pig and Optimus Prime Bird exchanged a friendly fist-bump as they drove to the EggSpark. Megatron Pig reached it first... and instead of helping Optimus Prime Bird up next to him, laughed in his face and kicked him down as the EggSpark upgraded him into Dark Megatron Pig! The big jerk then drove off! Optimus Prime Bird fetched Heatwave Bird and Jazz Bird to raid the Deceptihogs' headquarters. Upon their arrival, they found the Deceptihogs using the EggSpark as a dance light. It was all very silly. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Deceptihogs' Revenge}}

Soon after Piggy Island was Cyberformed, all the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were captured and frozen, leaving only Red as Optimus Prime to save the day.

As they level up, all versions of Red undergo slight physical modifications. His chest windows go from two large windshields to two smaller ones flanked by even smaller side windows, his pelvis gains small colored decorations, his legs gain metal sidings, and his helmet gains additional crests as well. Additionally, Red gains a small [[Powermaster]] in engine mode attached to his grill .

The very first character you use in the game, Red-as-Optimus is the everybird. He's not very specialized, having middle-of-the-road stats and attacks overall. His weapon of choice is a laser, which is fairly weak and not too fast firing, but it never overheats or has to reload. Plus, he has a ''huge'' number of Accessories, which can turn him into a tower-disintegrating menace with the right combinations.

====As Ultra Magnus====
[[File:Angry Birds Ultra Magnus.png|thumb|200px|Yeah, I'm so handsome!]]
*''Squads'': '''Target: 2006, The Wreckers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (500 pigs) TelePod

Simply a white repaint (which is oddly fitting) of the Optimus Prime model, Ultra Magnus has a rapid fire purple blaster similar to Lockdown's with a 20-shot clip, which must be reloaded periodically. While starting out fairly weak, the rapid-fire nature allows it to knock buildings down with well-placed shots and is great at shooting down incoming missiles.

====As Energon Optimus Prime====
[[File:Energon-Optimus-Prime-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px|Level 7]]
*''Squad'': '''Energon Fueled'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (<s>2000</s> 2400 pigs) TelePod

An energon-fueled variant of Optimus Prime, this version is unlocked after you've sunken more time than you should have into the game. Energon Optimus Prime also gets a survivability buff, due to the fact that restoring cyber-formed objects can heal an Energon boosted character, but he also takes more damage. His Ion Blaster also gets amped up, with much larger projectiles that do more damage, but has to reload after three shots. Sounds too good to be true? Well, believe it. But Chuck doesn't care. He uses Energon Optimus Prime as a reading lamp.

*''Squad'': '''Variant Versions'''

Ultimate Optimus Prime has better armor and an Ion Blaster that can obliterate most blocks in one shot, but has a much slower rate of fire than his other variants. As a "Variant Version" squaddie, he also gets double-or-nothing coins in events: don't make it through the level and you get ''nothing''. You ''lose''! ''Good day, sir!''

====As Nemesis Prime====
[[File:Nemesis-Prime-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px| Someone decided to fork out ''$17'' to get a decent image of a virtual redeco. You're welcome.]]
*''Squad'': '''The Iconic Transformer'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence '''
*''Unlock Type'': In-app purchase, Challenge Event prize (7,500 tokens)

Nemesis Prime was created by the Eggbots to fight the Autobirds and Deceptihogs. But this evil clone was not so evil, as Optimus Prime's and Red's heroic personalities overcame his initial purpose, and turned against his creators.

His anti-gravity shots can send pigs and unobstructed blocks up in the air. Though weak at first, subsequent upgrades make his weapon strong enough to rocket entire structures and surrounding objects to oblivion! But it deals moderately weak damage against individual enemies.

He was first available in 2015 as a limited-time Halloween offer bundled with a couple of Halloween accessories and 400 gems for a pricey $12 (Yeah no.) A year later, players could finally unlock him for ''free''. Free from actual money that is. You would have to collect 6000 tokens to unlock him in the "Smashing Pumpkins" Halloween event. Or you could purchase the Exclusive Halloween Bundle for the even more expensive $24.99, which contains Nemesis Prime, 500 gems, and his most recent Jetpack accessory. (Also a sturdy no.)

====As Epic Optimus Prime====
[[File:Epic-Optimus-Prime-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''The Iconic Transformer'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize (4000/5000 Tokens)

This golden Optimus Prime Bird doesn’t seem to be based on any Optimus Primes that exist as of now. He has a very different weapon from the other Optimuses (Optimusses? Optimii?): an instant-hit tractor beam. Like with [[Hal#Games|Grimlock Bird]], this thin electric beam stays locked on its target until the target is destroyed or you change aim, and is excellent for precision strikes and hitting fast-moving targets like [[missile silo|missiles]] and flying Pigs. The beam does steady damage like Grimlock's electric breath, albeit weaker, but also pulls on whatever it hits. So don’t go holding down on piggies and letting them hit your head- you like your health, don’t you? It's actually quicker to hit a Pig with a short blast and yank it off its perch than to whittle its health down with a sustained burst. The beam is much more effective on blocks, shattering glass and wood quickly, and will even break up stone in a second or two once sufficiently powered up. Use short, controlled bursts or quick sweeps to yank key blocks (or Pigs) out from towers and let the rest tumble.

Epic Optimus was first available in the 2015 Challenge Event "Chinese New Year", and is one of the most common Challenge Event characters to reappear. He could be unlocked (or upgraded) by Tokens earned in each day's event.

====As Blurr====
[[File:Blurr-Bird.jpg|thumb|250px]]
*''Squad'': '''Specialists'''
*''Mission Type'': '''”???”'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize (10000 Tokens)

Blurr is very different from the other incarnations of Red in the game. Instead of a truck, he is a car. A very fast, futuristic, floating car. And by very fast, we mean really really fast. He’s in fact ''so'' fast that every time you switch to vehicle mode, everything starts moving in slow motion! So wouldn’t [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] have been a better choice to portray this character? Maybe...

His weapon is the same as the regular Optimus Prime, but instead of just one shot at a time he fires tons of shots at once, like a slow laser. The shots also ricochet upon impact, allowing you to really spread damage.

Blurr was originally available in the event of the same name for the well-known price of 10000 Tokens.

[[File:GeneralOptibirdUpdated.jpeg|thumb|200px|Uhh, need a bandage, pal?]]
*''Squad'': '''Command'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass prize
War has broken out on Piggy Island! The Autobirds now not only have to watch out for the Eggbots, they also have to fight the Deceptihogs, who (surprise surprise) turned against them! Optimus Prime has (obviously) been chosen as the right bot to lead the Autobirds in this legendary battle and now goes by the name of General Optimus Prime.

His weapon provides arcing yellow laser bullets. They are a bit weak, but after some upgrades they will get incendiary powers (similar to what some [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)#Featured characters|accessories]] do). This will make them a little stronger and more destructive, but they are still not very effective against good ol’ [[Walking Mortar Tower|Mortar Towers]]. So much for $20!

====As Optimus Maximus====
[[File:Optimusmaximusbird.jpeg|thumb|300px|Giant combination of robot birds to the rescue!]]
*''Squad'': '''Combiners'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Gem Purchase (750 or more), Challenge Event prize (10,000 Tokens)

Optimus Maximus is currently the only combiner with all components as individual characters in the game, comprising Optimus Prime, Mirage, Sunstreaker, Ironhide, Prowl, and...''sometimes'' Rodimus.

Their weapon is a mixture of Optimus Prime's and [[Terence (AB)|Ironhide]]'s weapons, firing two bolts followed by three beams. They also turn invisible from time to time for absolutely no good reason. This oddity comes from [[Bubbles#As Mirage|Mirage]]. It comes in handy sometimes, but it only lasts for about 2 to 3 seconds and there seems to be no way to activate this ability by hand.

Strangely, Optimus Maximus doesn't have a special attack, unlike Devastator, Superion and Menasor.
At the time of this writing, the lack of a special ability will disable the transform button for other characters in a Spark Run if Maximus is the first character.

Optimus Maximus was originally available in the challenge event of the same name, once AGAIN, for 10,000 tokens. Then again, the other Combiners are the same price, so...

The war between the Autobirds and the Deceptihog is escalating! The robopigs turned out to be annoyingly strong and the Autobirds are desperate for help! Luckily, Major Ultra Magnus came to join the fight!

His weapon is a bunch of pink bullets that take strange curves before they hit their targets. The bullets also have a black trail for some reason. Perhaps it's the battle damage?

**''Accessories:'' Telepods base

:Part of the [[Toys"R"Us]] ''Angry Birds Transformers'' [[Telepod]]s" toyline, Optimus Prime Bird transforms from robot to truck, his bird head visible in both modes, and based on the design of the live action movie continuity's body for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] used in the first three films. He includes a Telepods base which, when placed over a phone or tablet's camera, allows the toy to be 'scanned into' the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|''Angry Birds Transformers'' app]].

:This toy was redecoed as Ultra Magnus Bird (see below).

Talk:Soundwave (G1)

2021-07-22T21:14:58Z

Transtitans:

Isn't Soundwave a microcassette player, not a tape recorder? Also, the Cybertron version is in a separate universe. It may or may not be worth noting the Machine Wars and Universe versions. [[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 10:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

He is a microcassette player -- his cassettes are clearly labeled as MC60, for example. However, the animated series shows him at a transformed scale that is consistent with a regular cassette player. I'm not sure where to make mention of this. --[[User:Infinata|Infinata]] 23:34, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, Soundwave's character model shows up in Armada (and Beast Machines, for that matter). And while neither are clearly the actual dude, I think they're worth mentioning, long as "they're clearly not the actual dude" is stated. As for MW and TFU... well, the MW toy is blatabtly G1 Soundwave, and Starscream's e-hobby bio DOES pplace the Machine Wars in G1. TFU... worth NOTING, I think, making sure to state that there really is no fictional evidence that TFU Sounwave is G1 Soundy or even an alt-universe doppelganger, but that "alt-universe dollepganger" is the sfaest bet. - [[User: M Sipher|M "I Find That Holds True For Most TFU uys Who Never Got Fiction" Sipher]]

Cybertron Soundwave is awesome, nontheless. But the section was my bad, I added it before I realised this article was strictly meant for G1 Soundwave. Though I notice in Galaxy Force, there's a hint that it's "post G1". There's a brief shadowy shot of the Transformers taking the planet-keys for the Space Bridge in one of the episodes, and one of the Transformers taking a key is (or appears to be) G1 Optimus Prime!

So the UT possibly had it's own "G1 continuity" at some point. The only thing is, I haven't seen the equivalent episode in Cybertron yet, so this may only apply to Galaxy Force. - [[User: TheTurnipKing|ttk]]

I'm fairly sure the Audio casette VA is John Braden. (Same guy seems to have written and produced them, it's probably safe to assuem he was the sole VA/narrator too.)

I feel as though people will think I'm just making UK-stuff italics all by myself without cause. For those who don't know, there was a discussion on this. For precedent, see the [[Roadhandler (G1)]] entry, and its accompanying [[Talk:Roadhandler (G1)|discussion]].--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 18:27, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Ummm I noticed in an episode of Galaxy Force, just before GF Soundwave makes his appearance, there is a scene where Noisemaze is listening to a G1 Soundwave. As in a Tape/Microtape player. That's alright to include in this profile, right? Since it is a G1 Soundwave.

== Re: Soundwave's tape door ==

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the VS-Y Soundwave used the Hasbro/Microchange style door rather than Takara's remold, but I don't remember where; can anybody back this up? (and if so, is it noteworthy enough to mention in the article?) - [[User:Ducktimus|Ducktimus]] 08:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC) (I forgot to sign in)

So uh, is there a ANY evidence ANYWHERE that states just what the hell Soundwave turns into on Cybertron? A script, maybe?
'cause while I enjoy Lamp post, I'm hearing some pretty out there things from people. Not that I believe them. --[[User:Terrocon Blot|Terrocon Blot]] 03:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

==Multi-linking to cassette articles==
In [http://transformers.wikia.com/index.php?title=Soundwave_%28G1%29&curid=2001&diff=93696&oldid=93684 this edit] SFH reverted a change I made earlier, such that the phrase "a legion of cassette troops" now multi-links to several cassette character articles. I disagree with this edit, but, rather than just revert it I figured I should post a comment to see if anybody has an opinion. I think that these multi-linked phrases are a bad idea in general because they obfuscate what is being linked to, as well as the fact that there is more than one link. I think they serve some practical use in snark articles, but should be avoided in general. In this particular case, I personally think it is ''more'' important that there be a link to [[Mini-Cassette]] than to any individual cassette's page, especially since the cassette article itself links to all of them. A "list of Soundwave's cassettes" could be added to this article, but, that would be redundant with the cassette article and I would prefer to avoid that. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 21:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
:I just felt that it was a good way to get some of them linked into the article. If you feel that strongly about it, I wont revert it back. -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 21:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
::Okey-doke. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 22:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

:I'm with Steve. It's more important that we link to the Mini-cassette artical because that covers ALL of them, rather than the confusing and peacemeal way it is now. Change it.

== Big Brother? ==

While bored at work and idly poking around the wiki, I spotted that Trivia comment at the bottom about Soundwave's cassettes calling him "Big Brother." Out of idle curiosity, I'm wondering, did they call him "onii-san," or "aniki"? Just cause the latter ''can'' mean brother, but is also used in gang slang, where it means "boss," and that would make a lot more sense here... ([[Cancer (Masterforce)|Cancer]], for example, called [[Wilder (Masterforce)|Wilder]] "aniki.") - Chris McFeely (not signed in)

==Re: Various changes about what a good guy Soundwave and the Decepticons are==
Did we just get Raksha'ed? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 16:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
:More likely some impressionable soul who stumbled upon her site and took it as gospel. I doubt Raksha cares about our little wiki. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 16:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
::Still, the link was... interesting.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 16:36, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
:::I think even the most ardent G1 fans of the anti-movie variety would know that Decepticons = evil while Autobot = good. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 16:38, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
::::Yeah, and even the anti-hero presentation of the Decepticon movement in Megatron Origin still shows that Megatron and crew aren't exactly "good".--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 18:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Which is why I think we got Raksha'ed (or an elaborate prank to make us think so). I don't think anybody else holds such views, do they? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 19:07, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::There are others. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 19:32, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Wow. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 19:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Since the edits were from an Australian IP address it probably wasn't Raksha. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 21:05, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

==Cartoon section==
I think this needs a significant rewrite. It seems to be more about what he's like rather than what he did. Also, I want to add in the Madman comic story which is set firmly in the cartoon continuity, in the year 2001, so it's after Season 2, but before the movie. Derik suggested splitting the cartoon section up into season 1 & 2, put the Madman comic below that, then continue the movie and later seasons below Madman. Opinions? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 15:30, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
:Anybody? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 17:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
::I think Derik is full of sage advice, and should be followed at all times. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 17:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Yeah, but people here have a tendancy to spaz-out when you do something without their 2 cents, even if they never bothered to discuss it with you in the first place. So I want to get people's opinions before I make a significant change to the cartoon sections of several major characters, so I don't waste a bunch of time if somebody reverts my changes. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 17:53, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
::::Historically, we don't do "inquels" as actually interrupting the flow of a specific continuity. For example, to apply your suggestion to the Beast Wars, it'd look like this:
*Marvel comic continuity, issue 1, up through page 6 or so
*Beast Wars
*Marvel comic continuity, issue 1, page 7, through issue 80
::::It might be a bad precedent, particularly if we get a lot of inquels in the future. Something I might get behind is putting in a ''note,'' which says, "The events of the Madman comic, below, take place at this point." [[User:JW|JW]] 18:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

:::::That sounds suspiciously like Derik's ''other'' proposed solution.
:::::Again- filled with sage advice. (The sage covers the scent of bullshit.) -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 18:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
::::::[raised eyebrow] Since I apparently didn't read the page on which this other proposed solution was mentioned, I was unaware our minds were following similar (brilliant) paths. [[User:JW|JW]] 19:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I should point out that G1 Prime's article is already split up into several sections in his cartoon continuity - Season 1,2, Japanese off-screen crap, Movie, Season 3/4 (for some reason also called 2010. If this is not a good trend, then I suggest somebody do a MAJOR cleanup operation. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 18:15, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I'm not big into that setup on Prime's page, to be honest. Since American and Japanese continuities have recently become ''very'' different animals courtesy of all the extra stuff that has been jammed into the five-year gap that doesn't exist in America, I'm inclined towards separate headers for "american animated continuity" and "Japanese animated continuity," and to go from there. I did this recently with... uh, ''something'', but I forget what article it was... - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 20:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to point out that Beast Wars is set in its own G1 continuity that takes elements from both the comic and the cartoon. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 19:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
:Yah, it was just an example. [[User:JW|JW]] 19:34, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

== Dreamwave G1 ==

In the trivia section, it says Soundwave never said a word in Dreamwave outside The War Within, however, in the Prime Directive miniseries, he warns Megatron of an incoming nuclear missile. I can't remember exactly, but he may have said 'affirmative' or something like it earlier in the miniseries.--[[User:IWantTheirHeads|IWantTheirHeads]] 20:11, 29 November 2009 (EST)

== Break Dancing Video ==
I'm wondering if it would be a good bit of trivia to add the (surely at least infamous) video a fan made of Soundwave break dancing? The video is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4AwYMxiXLg here] and what I've thrown together as an idea for the trivia entry is [[User:Sound-Byte:SANDBOX|here]]. I cobbled some from the mention of it in Soundwave's Wikipedia [[wikipedia:Soundwave_%28Transformers%29#Other_appearances|article]], though I reworded it a little (like the robot really isn't "purely" white, for one thing).

[[User:Sound-Byte|Sound-Byte]] 01:17, 29 March 2010 (EDT)

:Sorry, we don't cover fan-made stuff on the Wiki. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 01:18, 29 March 2010 (EDT)
:: Any mention of that video will be nuked from orbit, just to be sure. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:57, 29 March 2010 (EDT)
:::Could'a just left it at "no fan stuff on the Wiki". :) [[User:Sound-Byte|Sound-Byte]] 04:09, 29 March 2010 (EDT)

== Emotions Deleted, Where? ==

So Hasbro's hall of fame bio adds the bit about Soundwave deleting his emotional programing to process info clearer and faster. Would that go in the opening bio since it seems to be a blanket statement about him from Hasbro, or should it go in its own section under fiction? --[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 14:19, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
:[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/movie-news/TRANSFORMERS-HALL-OF-FAME-Nominee-1.cfm That bio] is pretty bizarre. They may have a picture of G1 Soundwave, but that bio isn't describing G1 Soundwave. It is like a mixture of all Soundwaves ever or something. The sonic attack thing is like ROTF Soundwave. The mysterious origin is like Cybertron Soundwave. There is also a little G1 ''Shock''wave thrown in with having no emotions and stuff. I don't think that bio applies to G1 Soundwave. Maybe War for Cybertron Soundwave or something. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 14:36, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
: It's more complicated than that. Hasbro views all Soundwaves as Soundwave, so this is Hasbro's view of every character that's ever been called Soundwave, if we want to get real about it. Via Hasbro's thinking, Animated and Cybertron Soundwave are the same "guy" as G1 Soundwave. They don't think along continuity family lines as the wiki does. This bio could also be influenced by Soundwave as he appears in [[Transformers: Prime]]. So I don't think we should start altering individual character pages yet. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:38, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
:The bio card from [[Super Collection Figure|HOC]] Soundwave says he views his minicassettes with "an almost paternal pride." Pride is totally an emotion. So it's a case of one Hasbro blurb contradicting another. Given how weird, poorly-written, and frankly uninformative this new one is, I see no reason to make it his new default, from-the-start description. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 14:45, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
::I would suggest a new "Hall of Fame bio" fiction section. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 16:07, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
:::On which page? All Soundwaves? --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:11, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
::::If we're going to add the bio information anywhere, I vote we might as well put it on the Hall of Fame page itself.
::::(Since Walky has a point... this isn't really a bio for G1 Soundwave from Hasbro's POV, it's a bio for all Soundwaves as a singular entity.) --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 16:23, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
:::::Heh, that kinda fits with the all-multiverse Starscream gestalt Tak-Tomy gave us in their fiction recently.In a bizzar and coincidental sorta way.--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 17:57, 3 May 2010 (EDT)

== New mainpic? ==

The Roche pic is lovely, but it's a little murky and doesn't really accentuate Soundwave's color scheme. It's also already his mainpic for the IDW section and I feel like there has to be plenty of images out there that represent the most common appearance of G1 Soundwave. I didn't want to just up and change it without discussion, so if anyone has any suggestions or just want to tell me I'm crazy... --[[User:Nu-Priest|Nu-Priest]] ([[User talk:Nu-Priest|talk]]) 13:45, 1 February 2019 (EST)
:Man, this has become a white whale for me. It's still bothering me that I can't find a worthy official piece of art of G1 Soundwave for a new mainpic. There's some nice, bright blue Dan Khanna-drawn commissions of him, but I'm uncertain of their actual "official-ness", if they were ever made into posters or something like that. Other pictures from various artbooks I've seen are either crowded with all his cassettes or drawn by Pat Lee. There's GOTTA be a good picture of G1 Soundwave out there, preferably Floro Dery-ized style, with maybe one or two of his more famous cassettes at MOST, but I haven't found it yet. What about the Japanese file cards for his various reissues or his Masterpiece? Anyone have any ideas, suggestions? Or again, think I'm crazy for wanting this? --[[User:Nu-Priest|Nu-Priest]] ([[User talk:Nu-Priest|talk]]) 11:30, 14 June 2021 (EDT) Hey I just wonder how welker talks like that

Blurr was four million years old. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

''Hundreds of years ago, Blurr and [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] were captured by aliens from the planet [[Tyroxia]], but Hot Rod managed to escape in a [[Hot Rod's shuttle|ship]]. The ship was pursued by the [[Tyroxian]]s, but the aliens were intercepted a [[Kup's ship|ship]] piloted by the Autobot [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]], an old-timer who was suffering from [[combat fatigue]] and had sent himself off to pasture. Hot Rod implored Kup to help him and Blurr, but Kup maintained that he was done with the war and was of no use to anyone. Ultimately, Kup had to rescue Hot Rod and Blurr from the Tyroxians one final time, and the old mech decided to give the war one more go.'' {{storylink|Kup's Story!}}

[[File:RingofHate-Blurremissary.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|So much for the Tolerant Left Arm!]]
Blurr was part of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]]'s unit on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when the commander reached a turning point. After Blurr helped free a group of captive Autobots being herded into the [[smelting pool]], Fortress Maximus announced that he was quitting the war and leaving for the peaceful planet [[Nebulos]]. Blurr and the others were stunned by this announcement, but nonetheless decided to join Fortress Maximus in his exile.

Blurr was sent as an ambassador to the Nebulan capital city, [[Koraja]]. However, the politician [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]] did not trust these visitors to his world, and so he sabotaged the meeting to convince the others to rise up against the Autobots. While Blurr spoke, [[Krunk]] fired a magenetic polarizer weapon at Blurr's arm, which caused it to spasm and topple a fountain sculpture. As the debris bounced around, endangering the surrounding civilians, Zarak's personal militia retaliated, and Blurr fled.

Fortress Maximus didn't give up on peace with the Nebulans, however, and he took Blurr and the others back into Koraja. In order to prove to the Nebulans that he could be trusted, Fortress Maximus offered his head to them. A few other Autobots followed his lead and offered their heads, while Blurr and the rest surrendered only their weapons. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

The headless Autobots were kept under surveillance by the Nebulans, while Blurr's group of weaponless Autobots retreated to the forest, where they began construction of their headquarters. When the [[Council of Peers]] arrived to inspect the Autobots' efforts, Blurr showed them around. He pointed out Hot Rod, who was listening in on their Cybertron headquarters, but not transmitting anything, lest the Decepticons learn their location. Zarak and [[Vorath]] took this opportunity to lock onto the frequency, and they later used this information to contact the Decepticons. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}

The Decepticons arrived, and after both sides adopted the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] process, the Headmaster Autobots were captured by the Decepticons. Blurr and the remaining Autobots who lived in the forest remained weaponless, so they teamed up with various Nebulans who sided with the Autobot-allied Nebulan [[Galen]] and thus were considered criminals by the Council of Peers. Blurr's partner was [[Haywire]], who had, like the others, undergone the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] process to become a weapon for his partner.

Blurr and the other Targetmasters headed for the [[Nursery (Nebulos)|Nursery]], where they found themselves under attack by [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. The Autobots' new Targetmaster powers overwhelmed the Decepticons, but not before the Nursery was reduced to rubble. Zarak, who was Scorponok's Headmaster partner, realized that this war was quickly destroying the planet he loved, and so he freed the Autobot Headmasters, allowing the Autobots to leave Nebulos. The Decepticons followed Blurr and the other Autobots to [[Earth]], where they wished to respond to an Autobot distress signal. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

When Galen died on Earth and his role as Fortress Maximus's Headmaster partner was assumed by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], Spike led Kup and the other Targetmasters on a mission to the [[Club Con|Decepticon's island headquarters]] to rescue his brother, [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]. After Blurr and the other Targetmasters were attacked by the island's defense measures, the island transformed into a spaceship and launched into space. {{storylink|The Desert Island of Space!}} Soon, Fortress Maximus's Autobots met up with the Earth-bound Autobots led by [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], and the two Autobot camps wound up witnessing a battle between Grimlock and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] for Autobot leadership. Blurr, along with the Autobots from both camps, began to watch this battle on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] when [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s Decepticons unleashed a surprise attack. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

''Blurr was enjoying some downtime aboard the Ark when Thunderwing and a motley crew of Decepticons attacked. Responding alongside his commander, Blurr joined in blasting the would-be Decepticon leader and forcing him off the ship.'' {{storylink|Assault on the Ark!}}

[[File:Allfalldown-blurr.jpg|left|upright=0.5|thumb|Blurr's keyboard doesn't even HAVE a spacebar.]]
When the Decepticon [[Air Strike Patrol]] attacked [[MacDill Air Force Base]] on Earth, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] (who had returned to command) led most of the Autobot Army into battle, including Blurr, leaving only a skeleton crew behind on the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} After Scorponok's Decepticons arrived as well, Prime ordered Blurr and the rest of his troops to return to the Ark, suspecting an unknown entity was orchestrating this battle behind the scenes. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} When Blurr and the others returned to the Ark, they discovered that not only was [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]] missing, but in his absence [[Blackjack (G1)|Blackjack]] had disabled the skeleton crew and placed bombs on board. Blackjack, who was startled by the Autobots, dropped the bomb, which started the countdown. Kup refused to allow the Autobots to flee the Ark in its shuttles, citing the lack of time to evacuate their fallen comrades in the medical bays, which prompted Blurr to panic. Blurr and the others were saved when Ratchet, who had been kidnapped by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] (the mastermind behind the whole affair), arranged for the bombs to be teleported to Cybertron. Instead of blowing up the Ark, the bomb detonated inside Megatron's headquarters, apparently killing both Megatron and Ratchet. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

News of Ratchet's demise sent Optimus Prime into a depression, and Hot Rod took it upon himself to snap Optimus out of it. Concocting a scheme wherein a [[Guardian (Marvel)|Guardian Mark V battle droid]] would go "berserk" ended with the unit going on a genuine rampage. Blurr was knocked aside by the Guardian before Prime eventually snapped out of his funk and defeated the droid to save the day. {{storylink|Yesterday's Heroes!}}

When Thunderwing invaded the Ark once more, this time possessed by the Matrix, Blurr used his speed to good advantage, dodging the Decepticon's attacks and punching the Matrix-aura demon repeatedly. These blows accomplished little, though, and the aura punched him back. {{storylink|All Fall Down}} The Matrix was believed to be lost in this battle, and so Optimus Prime, who feared the imminent arrival of their race's godlike enemy, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], took drastic measures. The Autobot leader surrendered his forces to Scorponok's Decepticons, hoping to secure an alliance against the coming Chaos Bringer. This did not please Blurr and the other Autobots, who were forced to turn over their weapons and Nebulan partners. {{storylink|Surrender!}}

Though Unicron was defeated during the Autobots' and the Decepticons' armistice, the latter faction, true to form, turned on their allies in short order. Now under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s leadership, they rampaged on the planet [[Klo]], slaughtering its organic inhabitants. The Autobots, likewise under Grimlock's new management, followed Bludgeon's troops, but wound up stumbling into an ambush as soon as they made landfall. Blurr was among the casualties of the battle, his busted-up corpse littering the ground alongside many of his comrades. He was presumably resurrected by the [[Last Autobot]], who arrived to turn the tide of battle alongside Optimus Prime and the [[Neo-Knights]]. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
{{note|The movie adaptation, originally published by Marvel US, is in italics}}
In the future year [[2003]], Blurr was among the many Autobots stationed at the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] when [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] began his plans for a new [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] on Earth. It was his responsibility to send a hyper-speeded radio signal to Earth's governments, informing them about the secret plans for the city. Apparently, the Autobots decided regular codes would be too much work, so they just had Blurr dictate the plans! {{storylink|Ark Duty}} He was also on-site a year later at the grand opening of Autobot City, and helped defend their honored human guests from an assault by [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] and the Decepticons. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

In [[1990]], Blurr, Kup, and Hot Rod were captured by Megatron, but managed to escape thanks to the efforts of a double-agent named [[Warmonger]]. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

''Megatron went on to lead his Decepticons in an all-out offensive against Autobot City, only to be beaten back by Optimus Prime. Blurr witnessed the Autobot leader pass on the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus before succumbing to the fatal wounds that had been dealt to him in this fateful duel.'' {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}}

[[File:Target2006-BlurrHotRodKup.jpg|thumb|left|upright=2.2]]
[[File:MarvelUK87 Blurr.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|Looking rather green in the gills]]
Shortly after the attack on Autobot City in [[2006]], Blurr received some psychic coaching from Unicron to follow the new Decepticon leader, Galvatron, back through time to [[1986]] and stop his plans. Blurr was joined by Kup and Hot Rod, and upon materializing in the 20th century they joined forces with the local Ultra Magnus. Being as colossally powerful as Galvatron was, Blurr and his allies decided subterfuge was the better course of action than brute force. In order to get Galvatron to return to the future without a fuss, they manipulated him into believing he had traveled cross-time to an alternate 1986, where his actions in the past would have no effect on his future. To this end, Blurr and his allies stashed [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]]'s inert form out of the way, {{storylink|Target: 2006}} {{storylink|Stargazing}} disguised [[Skywarp (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Skywarp]] as the former, and goaded Galvatron into destroying him. It really proved to be that simple, as Galvatron now believe his timeline couldn't come to pass, with Starscream having perished far too early. Galvatron returned to 2006 with his cronies, and Blurr, Kup and Hot Rod quickly followed suit. {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

Back in his own time, ''Blurr was among those gathered to hear a message from [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] as they reported Unicron's encroachment on [[Moonbase Two]]. As the Autobots prepared to head towards their allies and help them against the monster planet, they came under attack from Galvatron and his array of goons. Splitting into two groups, they narrowly managed to evade their pursuers by boarding a couple of shuttles and blasting off into space.'' {{storylink|Judgment Day!}}

[[File:BlurrTFMMarvel3.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
''Blurr's group wound up on the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]], their shuttle badly damaged. They barely managed to get any work done on their ship before Galvatron tracked them down again. Ultra Magnus was torn to pieces in the ensuing battle, and Galvatron took off with the Matrix of Leadership in hand. Blurr bemoaned that, without the Matrix, all hope was lost. Before any other opinions on the matter were offered, the hostile Junkions sprung forth! Thankfully, another ship carrying Hot Rod and several other Autobots arrived, and managed to talk peace with [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], the Junkions' leader. Wreck-Gar's troops rebuilt Ultra Magnus, and everyone on Junk readied for a final confrontation against Unicron. In the clash, the Autobots' ship speared through the titan's eye. Blurr the rest of the crew were separated from Hot Rod inside Unicron, but the former's group found Spike, Bumblebee, and Jazz. They were soon rejoined by Hot Rod, but in his absence he had reacquired the Matrix of Leadership, which had both upgraded him into "Rodimus Prime" and begun a chain reaction inside Unicron, culminating in his destruction! With Unicron's threat now dealt with, the Autobots gathered around Rodimus Prime, who announced that this day would mark a new chapter in Cybertronian history, one that would hopefully contain much peace and happiness.'' {{storylink|The Final Battle!}}

[[File:MarvelUK119 Kup Blurr.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|And thrust!, 2!, 3!]]
After Unicron was defeated in 2006, Galvatron again fled back in time. Unaware of this, the Autobots searched high and low for the missing Galvatron, eventually forced into giving up when no trace of their quarry turned up in months. In Galvatron's absence, Blurr and the rest of the Autobots continued to battle the Decepticons over control of Cybertron, with Shockwave leading the enemy's armies, and Rodimus Prime now as the newly risen Autobot leader. Blurr was part of an Autobot ambush against an [[airborne hunter squad]] when, upon the mission's completion, the Autobots finally learned of Galvatron's whereabouts. {{storylink|Wanted: Galvatron — Dead or Alive!}} Blurr was once again on the team that went back to retrieve him, this time teamed with Kup, [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and Rodimus Prime. {{storylink|Burning Sky!}} It was déjà vu all over again, as the future Autobots again joined forces with 20th century Ultra Magnus to counter Galvatron's latest scheme. The evil Decepticon planned to use a [[power siphon|magma siphon]] to drain power out of the [[Earth's core|planet's volcanic core]], and gain the strength of a god in the process. Mere seconds after locating Galvatron and engaging him in combat, however, Blurr and Kup were knocked off-line when Galvatron hurled Ultra Magnus's beaten body at them. {{storylink|Hunters}} After regrouping, the Autobots concocted a plan to steal Galvatron's [[time-jump trigger device]] and rewire it to propel them all back to their proper place and time. While Blurr and the others distracted Galvatron, Wreck-Gar and Rodimus Prime attempted to make the proper modifications. In the end, however, only the Autobots were launched back to the future; Galvatron had modified the device so that the temporal backlash did not affect him, and he stayed in the past. {{storylink|Fire on High!}}

Blurr remained one of Rodimus Prime's finest soldiers in the future. In [[2008]], he helped defend the Autobot position against a massive Decepticon offensive, {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} and accompanied Rodimus Prime on a rescue mission to Earth when the [[Quintesson]]s lay siege to Autobot City. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

When the [[Time rift|timestorm]] exploded over space in [[2009]], Blurr joined Rodimus Prime and several other Autobots in travelling back to [[1989]], in the hopes of somehow removing the menace caused by Galvatron's long-term temporal distortion. Unfortunately, the mechanics of the time-jump mass displacement shunted Optimus Prime and other Autobots of 1989 into [[Limbo]] as they arrived, leaving smoldering earth in their wakes. The neophyte Autobot sub-commander Fortress Maximus jumped to the wrong conclusions and led his 20th century warriors into battle with their 21st century counterparts. Blurr was double-teamed by [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]] before Optimus managed to communicate with Maximus through the Matrix in Rodimus Prime's chest and call an end to the fighting. Despite being thrown for the loop, AND shot by Galvatron once the Autobots all lined up on one side, Blurr held out through the entire fight, and was still standing during Optimus Prime's climactic brawl with Galvatron, after nearly every other warrior had been downed. {{storylink|Time Wars}}

[[File:MarvelUK224 Head Toss.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Why couldn't Haywire be a Headmaster partner? [[Haywire#Generations|Oh.]]]]
After the Time Wars, the Autobots returned to 2009, but found it radically changed in their absence. It seemed the timestream had rebooted itself as if Galvatron had never left for the past to cause the timestorm. With Galvatron still around to lead the Decepticons, they had managed to maintain control over Cybertron after the war with Unicron, and the Autobots held only a meager resistance movement on their homeworld. Blurr, Rodimus and the others returned to this "new" war as best they could, but were hopelessly outmatched on Cybertron. After suffering a communications breakdown with one of their outposts, Rodimus Prime and allies arrived only to find Galvatron had taken control of the base and slaughtered the Autobots present. He saved a particularly gruesome fate for Blurr, and actually tossed the poor Autobot's severed head at Rodimus Prime once he arrived. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

In another version of the future, Blurr actually survived! He lived 'til at least the year [[2510]] when he personally delivered the news to Rodimus Prime that the last Decepticon had been killed and the war was over. Of course, a new war between the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and the [[Wrecker]]s broke out within a solar cycle, so Blurr still had a chance to get killed in battle. {{storylink|Peace}}

=====Rhythms of Darkness!=====
In yet [[Primax 490.0 Gamma|another alternate future]], the Autobots faced near-extinction in [[2009]] when [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] destroyed Cybertron and [[Galvatron II|Galvatron]] had very nearly conquered Earth. Blurr and Kup were killed by [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] during the Decepticons' rise to power. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}

====''Regeneration One''====
{{NoteRG1}}
[[File:Hot rod blurr grapple loose ends.jpg|thumb|left]]
In [[2012]], while Optimus Prime was away on Earth, Blurr was stationed on Cybertron under the command of Hot Rod. Upon hearing that [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] had breached the [[Hall of Silence]] and enveloped it in a [[null field]] to prevent Autobot intervention, Blurr rushed to Hot Rod's side to inform him as much. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 4}} Unfortunately, he couldn't provide any useful advice on dealing with the situation. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 5}} Blurr attempted to find any variance in the null field's field harmonics, but after looking over its entire dome fifty times over, still couldn't find any way to breach it. Without options, Hot Rod was forced to order the destruction of the Hall, inadvertently covering Soundwave's escape with [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]'s remains. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}}

When [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] arrived on Cybertron and began corrupting Autobots' programming, Blurr remained unaffected. He saw [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] using the "Gene Key" on [[Over-Run (G1)|Over-Run]], and knew what to avoid after that. Along with [[Crosshairs (G1)|Crosshairs]], [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]], and [[Hosehead (G1)|Hosehead]], he formed a small group of survivors. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Three}} They met up with [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] at the [[Nursery (Cybertron)|Nursery]], and joined forces. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}} At the [[Civil Defense Hub]], Blurr and the others fought through the evil Autobot and Decepticon defenders, retaking the defense grid. Unfortunately, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and the ''[[Valiant (G1)|Valiant]]'' were returning from Earth at that time, and the Decepticon [[Clone (subgroup)|Clones]] had already keyed in an attack sequence. Even Blurr's speed couldn't race through all possible combinations of the deactivation sequence fast enough, so Crosshairs shot one of the Clones and promised to shoot the other if he didn't shut the missiles down. The Decepticon complied. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Five}}

Blurr worked security at [[Eugenesis Plaza]] during Hot Rod's first disastrous speech as leader of the Autobots. {{storylink|Destiny, Part One}} He later defended the [[Presidium (facility)|Presidium]] on the parapets during the Decepticon uprising. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}}

Afterwards, Blurr joined Ultra Magnus in hunting down [[Galvatron II|Galvatron]], but they were ambushed by [[Acolyte of Unicron|Unicron cultists]] and lost their quarry. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 1}} He was also seen with a group of Autobots speeding to the rescue of the [[Demon|Primordial Cybertronians]] when the [[Primum Fugae]] attacked. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 2}}

Blurr served on the bridge of Rodimus Prime's command vessel ''[[Priam]]'' when they attacked the [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]], but even his hyper-reflexes weren't fast enough to raise shields against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s counter-attack. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 3}} After being held prisoner, the Autobots escaped the Hub after Jhiaxus was taken down by the [[Underbase]]. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 4}} Back on Cybertron, Blurr and the Autobots discovered their world corrupted into a global necropolis by the [[Dark Matrix]]. They tracked the threat through the [[space bridge]] to [[Nebulos]] and Earth, and Blurr joined Ultra Magnus's squad on the first world where they defeated the possessed Galvatron and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

===''Transformers in 3-D''===
Blurr took part in a mission to an asteroid to find a new source of [[energon]]. When [[Lightspeed (G1 Technobot)|Lightspeed]] discovered a [[Observer|small life form]], Blurr had great fun playing with it, until Lightspeed insisted on conducting tests. After Magnus took the others in pursuit of [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and ran into a bunch more Decepticons, Blurr was instructed to bring [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] to the battleground. Blurr did so and even got to take a swipe at [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], but was promptly picked up and tossed into the distance by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. He came back pretty quickly, though. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}

When [[Monitorus]] arrived on Cybertron with the news that [[Tau-Ursa]] had been attacked and leveled by the Decepticons, Blurr rushed him to Optimus Prime and started alliterating a lot in his speech. They were soon interrupted by a Decepticon attack, which Blurr took part in an attempt to repel. As it turned out, the attack was a diversion while Galvatron used his new [[Nullification Cannon]] to nullify Cybertron's energon supplies.

Later, Blurr and Hot Rod traveled to Tau-Ursa to inspect the damage and search for stray Decepticons. They stumbled on [[Apeface|Ape Face]], who had found a [[Logicon]] warning beacon. A struggle ensued, and Blurr was able to wrest the beacon's recording tape from the Decepticon. The pair high-tailed it back to Cybertron, where the tape turned out to contain the coordinates to [[Metascan Alpha]], a planet containing a vast storehouse of energon. Blurr accompanied Optimus on a mission to the Decepticons' base on a derelict space destroyer to destroy the Nullification Cannon. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===Sticker Adventures books===
Blurr was part of the crew of an Autobot ship that was studying the Universe. He asked Springer to make note of several nearby stars. After being hit by meteors, they were forced to make landfall on the nearby Junk planet. Once they had landed, Blurr scouted out their surroundings, unaware that he was being watched by the Junkions. Wanting his engine, that Junkions chased him down and attacked the Autobots. The fighting stopped when Kup arrived on-world, and used the universal greeting to calm down the Junkions. Now friends, the Junkions and the Autobots worked together to fix the damaged ship. Blurr and the Autobots then blasted off and went on their way. {{storylink|Battle on the Junk Planet}}

Blurr was returning from a road trip with Daniel, Hound and Hot Rod, Bumblebee, Kup, Wheelie, Springer, and Sunstreaker when the group paused to eat at a rest stop. As the Autobots ingested Energon Cubes, Hot Rod asked Kup to tell a story. Kup told the others the story of how, upon first crash landing in Mt. St. Hillary, the Ark had lost an enormous shipment of Energon Cubes that remained lost to the day. Enthralled by Kup's story, the rest of the group were all eager to go looking for this lost treasure. When they realized that Laserbeak had been spying on them the whole time, and would soon inform Galvatron about the lost Energon shipment, BLurr and the others rushed back to Metroplex to inform Ultra Magnus. Blurr was the first to reach Ultra Magnus, but as he was talking too fast, Ultra Magnus could not understand a word that Blurr was saying. After a brief conference, Ultra Magnus led his troops to the Ark's crash site. Finding the Decepticons there already, the two factions began to fight. When the Energon stash was uncovered, it was completely gobbled up by Starscream who proclaimed himself the most powerful Decepticon. With nothing left to fight over, Blurr and the Autobots left Galvatron and Starscream to their squabble. {{storylink|The Lost Treasure of Cybertron}}

The Decepticons having stolen the Matrix of Creation, Blurr was called up by Ultra Magnus to help retrieve it. The Autobots used an army of [[decoy]]s to distract the Decepticons, while Blurr, Hot Rod, Kup, and Ultra Magnus infiltrated their base. Blurr then blasted the Matrix out of the crystal that held it, and the Autobots made their getaway. {{storylink|Start Your Own Decoy Collection}}

===Desert of Danger===
{{notemultipath}}
Blurr was stationed on the planet Nebulos when the Decepticons hatched a scheme to smuggle on-planet [[Attack Squad robot]]s. He was available as back up to the more active Hot Rod during his missions. {{storylink|Desert of Danger}}

===Autobot Alert!===
{{notemultipath}}
[[File:AutobotAlertMetroplex.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Alongside Springer and Beachcomber, Blurr was assigned a secret mission; to uncover the location of a sphere of cybertite, containing an ancient Autobot formula. When Decepticon storm troopers blasted their way into the Autobots’ research lab, Blurr was able to escape the skirmish and report back to Autobot headquarters about the situation. Upon his arrival at Metroplex city, Blurr learned that the Autobots had just learned of another crisis at hand; the Decepticons were taking over Earth's communication satellites. In spite of this, both he and Kup insisted that dealing with the Decepticons who stole the coded message should take top priority.

If Ultra Magnus agreed to prioritize theft of the coded message, Blurr was part of the captive audience that listened to Kup divulge information about an ancient Autobot formula. Blurr took off towards the Autobots’ desert research centre along with a number of other Autobots. Once there, they learned from Springer that the Cybertite sphere containing the formula was discovered by humans during the 16th century. If the Decepticons had decoded Springer's message, they would be searching off the coast of California, where the ship containing the sphere had sunk. If they hadn't decoded the message, the Decepticons would still be digging in the nearby crater.

If the Autobots decided to scope out the nearby crater first, Blurr raced Hot Rod to it, finding it void of any Decepticon activity. Combing the crater, the pair then found Beachcomber tied to an explosive device, and set out to rescue him. Once freed, Beachcomber informed the pair that the Decepticons had long ago broken the code and were already en route to retrieve the cybertite sphere. It would now be much to late to catch up to the Decepticons, and all hope to retrieve the orb before them was lost.

If Ultra Magnus decided to assume that the Decepticons had already decrypted the message, he ordered his forces to split up to more efficiently address the situation. Blurr was sent ahead to scout out the crater while the rest of the Autobots headed for the California coast. Fast as he was, Blurr was able to make it to the crater, double back, and meet up with the rest of the Autobot forces just as they arrived at the California coast. En route, he had spotted the incoming Decepticons, and warned Ultra Magnus to act quickly. The Autobots then needed to decide whether they would raise the ship themselves, or try and ambush the Decepticons after they had done so.

In one of the possible plans that Ultra Magnus came up with, Sludge and Hot Rod worked together to retrieve the sphere from the ship. Blurr was then tasked to return the sphere to Metroplex, while the rest of the Autobots lay hidden, ready to ambush the Decepticons. {{storylink|Autobot Alert!}}

He joined an underground Autobot cell led by Kup and Hot Rod to oppose Shockwave. Along with fellow cell members Hot Rod and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], he observed a Decepticon shuttle (actually piloted by the Dinobots) from the [[Wastelands]]. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}}

Later, after [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]] brought an unconscious Optimus Prime to their base, Blurr and Wheelie tried to subdue the legendary Autobot from mistakenly pounding Gnaw to death after he woke up.

Blurr and the rest of the healthy Autobots traveled to Nebulos in order to retrieve a cure concocted by Supreme Scientist Zella. Once there, Blurr determined that there was no Decepticon activity via their ship's computer. Suspicious nonetheless, Kup left Blurr in charge of the ship's computer while he led a squad into the field. Kup's suspicions were confirmed when it was revealed that a squad of Decepticons had hidden in inner-space nearby to avoid detection.

==Notes==
*No matter the continuity, Blurr's pattern of speech inevitably becomes inspired by his original cartoon portrayal's speed-talking. You can try to write him differently. [[Bob Budiansky]] did. [[Shane McCarthy]] did. But it [[Simon Furman|won't]] [[Zander Cannon|last]].
*Forbes.com declared Blurr to be the fastest fictional car, beating out Speed Racer's ''{{w|Mach Five}}'' by a top speed difference of over 500 mph.<ref>[http://www.forbes.com/2008/05/07/fastest-fictional-cars-forbeslife-cx_mn_de_0507fictional_slide_2.html Blurr named fastest car by Forbes]</ref>
