&lt;div&gt;I think this page should be broken up into its component chapters, or at least as a brief overview and hub to those chapters.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 17:50, 29 December 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the fact that Galvatron would just leave his cannon lying out in the open like that in itself counts as an error, not just when Autobots decide to build a city on the same lot - how did he intend to make sure no one would just go and destroy the damn thing right after he leaves? He couldn&#039;t exactly bury it either since, assumably, it&#039;s supposed to be powered by sunlight the solar panels will have collected in the 20 years. [[User:84.250.41.125|84.250.41.125]] 17:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:After he&#039;s tested the weapon he explicitly states that he&#039;s going to hang around in 1986 long enough for it to recharge, so presumably it would be buried fully loaded. [[User:Timrollpickering|Timrollpickering]] 22:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Galvatron and Megatron==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several times Megatron has been able to take Galvatron by surprise.  How could Galvatron have forgotten that back when he was Megatron, he was approached by a time-traveller from the future claiming to be the Decepticon leader of the year 2006?  [[Special:Contributions/84.71.227.54|84.71.227.54]] 11:46, 21 July 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:The act of traveling back in time appears to change his own past.  There is some vague indication (circa Time Wars) that Galvatron&#039;s memories revise themselves to accomodate these minor changes, but the process is not immediate. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 11:49, 21 July 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::There is, further, the complicated possibility that this Galvatron may not actually be remade from the Megatron featured in T2k6, but rather the Straxus-created clone from later stories. It&#039;s all terribly... urrgh. Furman time travel stories only tend to work in broad strokes, not in the details. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 11:54, 21 July 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::The Straxus-Megatron clone dies though. Plus there&#039;s no real evidence to back it up that the Megatron in the &#039;86 movie who becomes Galvatron isn&#039;t the real Megatron.  No, thinking about it, there may be a much more simpler explanation. We know that the real Megatron went to Cybertron and got partly possessed by Straxus causing amnesia of recent events. Lets say that this amnesia also permamently takes away his memory of his meeting with his future-self, Galvatron. [[Special:Contributions/81.79.105.225|81.79.105.225]] 13:09, 30 July 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Yeah, but the Straxus-Megatron only dies because of a conflict caused by Galvatron travelling back in time in the first place, so he may NOT have died had Galvatron not come back, and gone on to become Galvatron, plus Galvatron *remembers* events witnessed by the Straxus-Megatron during Time Wars and oh blimey I&#039;ve gone cross-eyed. :) - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 14:30, 30 July 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
In regards to Time Wars, we know that Galvatron is partnered with Straxus-Megatron in our reality but how about in Galvatron&#039;s memories that it was the real Megatron (who later becomes Galvatron) who was partnered with Galvatron and not Straxus-Megatron?  It goes some way to explaining why things are happening differently - because he has a different partner. The only explanations needed here is how the real Megatron got to fight alongside Galvatron (which doesn&#039;t matter much since nobody cares or gives much thought to the events that transpired in Galvatron&#039;s memories other than what we see in the comic) but I like the different partner explanation more so than the Galvatron throughout the Marvel U.K. comics and the &#039;86 movie being an upgrade to someone who was just a clone of Megatron and not the real Megatron explanation. But yeah, Time Wars *IS* a catalogue of continuity errors with no real correct answer I suppose. If you want to believe that this Galvatron was originally Straxus then its up to you. I just find it kinda messy and requires more work to get it to fit. Try reading Time Wars from my perspective and see how that works for you. [[Special:Contributions/81.79.105.225|81.79.105.225]] 17:28, 30 July 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;m not actually trying to seriously argue the fact - I&#039;m just pointing out how vague and open to interpretation the nature of the story is. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 18:47, 30 July 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Omega Supreme==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve added a little bit on Omega to the errors section to clarify it a bit as Smokescreen actually says they should sic Omega on the current Decepticons rather than the future ones (and before Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge had arrived at Megatron&#039;s base). It is a really big omission they don&#039;t use him at all, especially as &amp;quot;Omega is the last line of defense for the Autobots, a titanic guardian robot capable of instilling fear and panic into the sparks of Decepticons that dare face him on the field of battle&amp;quot;. And Buzzsaw wasn&#039;t there to whoop his ass. [[Special:Contributions/80.176.139.71|80.176.139.71]] 15:09, 3 November 2009 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think a little too much is made of the Autobots not using Omega Supreme. Yes, the comic doesn&#039;t give a reason for it, but the reason isn&#039;t too hard to imagine. Omega Supreme is a defense base. Siccing him on the Decepticons would be offense. If he failed, the Ark would be without its last line of defense. It would be a little like sending out your awesome goalie to try to go score points. I don&#039;t think it rises to the level of &amp;quot;error.&amp;quot; - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 13:45, 26 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Featured Article?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the ROTF hype machine has died down a little is there any chance of making this a featured article? It seems pretty complete, has very few red links and covers the first really &#039;epic&#039; Transformers time travel story. It&#039;s also, arguably, the work that put [[Simon Furman]] on the map as far as Transformers go, and without that, [[Furmanism| What chance do we have?]] --[[User:G1MarvelBlaster|G1MarvelBlaster]] 03:11, 10 November 2009 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
: I&#039;d say it needs a few more images and a more thorough summary of the plot, but with some work, it&#039;s definitely a candidate.  [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 05:33, 10 November 2009 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::I added a few things. How about now? --[[User:G1MarvelBlaster|G1MarvelBlaster]] 03:12, 13 November 2009 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Galvatron&#039;s weapon==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The idea of Unicron being defeatable by Transformer weaponry has never turned up again.&amp;quot; - Does that count the Matrix Cannon from the PS2 &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; game?  IIRC, it&#039;s the combined power of the Mini-Cons, but other than the name, it&#039;s not the MATRIX matrix, it&#039;s just &amp;quot;a really big gun.&amp;quot;  [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 09:07, 11 November 2009 (EST)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;I think we should put some sources for the character roster. I could get started on it, if that&#039;s necessary. I hadn&#039;t heard about Metroplex being in it, only from rumors that Matt Tieger said it somewhere. --[[User:Kaymac192|Kaymac192]] 17:07, 26 October 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::It&#039;s in this month&#039;s Game Informer.[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.196|192.249.47.196]] 17:17, 26 October 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Ah. Well, I&#039;ll try to get started on the sourcing, and any help would be appreciated. :D --[[User:Kaymac192|Kaymac192]] 17:30, 26 October 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== Blast-Off ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 1:10 in to the trailer to the top right corner of  Megatron there in a Decepticon that looks like a space shuttle does that confirmed &lt;br /&gt;
blast-off--[[User:Wwelord|Wwelord]] 16:20, 17 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:: There are so many Blast Offs across the fiction (including a goshdarn tank!) that we have no way of knowing who or what it really is. (Astrotrain, Sky Lynx, etc). [[User:Tom Servo the Great|Tom Servo the Great]] 16:23, 17 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
You dont have to be rude I was just asking a question and by the way why would it be Sky Lynx.--[[User:Wwelord|Wwelord]] 16:32, 17 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:: How was I rude? And it&#039;s just as possible that it &#039;&#039;could&#039;&#039; be Sky Lynx. [[User:Tom Servo the Great|Tom Servo the Great]] 16:40, 17 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
Name one Autobot in WFC/FOC with purple lightings Sky Lynx is an AUTOBOT with RED lightings and that shuttle was shown at lest 5 sec bruticus was formed and that shuttles design can be seen on his left arm--[[User:Wwelord|Wwelord]] 16:48, 17 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:: OK, OK. I was just trying to make a point. No need to start capslockjawing on me. Anyways, the thing is is that we don&#039;t know it&#039;s Blast Off for sure, because we&#039;ve had no official confirmation on it. [[User:Tom Servo the Great|Tom Servo the Great]] 16:57, 17 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you thats all I wanted to know.--[[User:Wwelord|Wwelord]] 17:01, 17 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Yay! ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You guys are great for getting everything organized. :) Also, where was it mentioned that Arcee would be in the game? I&#039;m removing it until we can get some sourcing. I&#039;m also pretty sure Matt Tieger said there would be no females. --[[User:Kaymac192|Kaymac192]] 12:02, 29 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dinobots - FOC or Prime disambiguation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dinobots were mentioned in Grimlock&#039;s Hall of Fame bio, so their existence predates Fall of Cybertron - there&#039;s a link to &amp;quot;Dinobot (Prime)&amp;quot; on the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]]. Is that mention enough to override the FOC parenthetical or should we amend the LSC link? --[[User:Abates|abates]] 21:26, 26 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Jazz voice ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think [[John DiMaggio]] was confirmed to voice Jazz in Fall of Cybertron.&lt;br /&gt;
Plus we heard his voice a while back, it sounds a lot like him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
--[[User:Diamondmatter|Diamondmatter]] 09:23, 5 May 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== PC ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Attention, the facebook page of Fall Of Cybertron has officially announced that Fall Of Cybertron would be on PC, and be released at the same dates as the other two platforms.&lt;br /&gt;
--[[User:SnipinScientist|SnipinScientist]] 1 June 2012&lt;br /&gt;
WARPATH&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just happy that my favorite character warpath is in the game. AND can somebody update the pape and give it new info!?!?!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Part of FOC voice cast revealed  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here&#039;s the link: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/06/13/transformers-fall-of-cybertron-voice-cast-revealed.aspx&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Steve Blum is voicing Shockwave, Swindle, and Sharpshot&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to Jazz, Troy Baker is voicing Jetfire and Kickback&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to Cliffjumper, Nolan North is voicing Brawl and Bruticus&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to Megatron and Ratchet, Fred Tatasciore is voicing Metroplex &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Isaac Singleton is voicing Soundwave&lt;br /&gt;
:Thanks, I&#039;ve added the new ones. --[[User:NCZ|NCZ]] 22:34, 13 June 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You forgot to add Swindle&#039;s and Brawl&#039;s voice actors&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Funny reference ==&lt;br /&gt;
At one part of a preview, Kickback gets a door knocked on top of him and Snarl comes out and murmurs &amp;quot;excuse me&amp;quot; at him, referring to the old movie. lobythelegend 22:10, 30 June 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Missing characters ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I noticed that Silverbolt and Sideswipe are missing from the character list even though Silverbolt was in the first gameplay video and Sideswipe has his chassis in multiplayer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We&#039;ve also seen Hound&#039;s chassis in multiplayer, but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s enough to add them to characters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, Silverbolt was in campaign gameplay so we should at least add him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think we should add Quake to the Decepticon list. During a Comic-Con demo, you saw his name alongside Warpath, Megatron, Perceptor, and the like on an MP customization screen of armor presets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yeah, we should add Quake and Ultra Magnus, &#039;cause we saw Magnus in the Gamestop preorder commercial, behind Hound. --[[User:Gurrengelion|Gurrengelion]] 01:21, 31 July 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The demo confirms Drag Strip and Quake. --[[User:Gurrengelion|Gurrengelion]] 06:00, 1 August 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sideswipe is also seen flying Jazz and Cliffjumper to the dinobots last known location here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxhbFnele1A&amp;amp;feature=channel&amp;amp;list=UL.--[[User:Ovidkid|Ovidkid]] 17:36, 21 August 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Megatron Spoiler ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;SPOILER ALERT&#039;&#039;&#039;In the Demo of Fall of Cybertron the level with [[Vortex (FOC)|Vortex]] an audio file pickup (The Second to last one) contains [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]] talking about [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] being &amp;quot;pulverised&amp;quot;. Should we include it or not until the game is released?[[User:Bumblebee2000|Bumblebee2000]] 00:13, 12 August 2012 (EDT) P.S Just practicing links.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Vortex ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Has Vortex&#039;s voice actor confirmed yet? [[User:SirSpoonwave|SirSpoonwave]] 20:50, 19 August 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
==Frenzy==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenzy IS in the game. In Chaper X &amp;quot;The Final Countdown&amp;quot;, he is inside the room with Soundwave and other Decepticons. He is beating up an Autobot next to Rumble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m not adding this myself in case if I mess up something up, so could someone please do it?----[[User:XxxOUTBURSTxxx|XxxOUTBURSTxxx]] 19:11, 30 August 2012 (EDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

*Maybe I&#039;m just trying too hard,but I think the name &amp;quot;Apex Armor&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; have come from the Appellaxians. They were one of the first enemies that the Justice League fought in the comics. The Appellexians were aliens that had a type of suit made from natural materials,like crystal or wood.Again,if this is too far fetched,I apologize.I know I have a history of making worthless additions on this wiki.---[[User:XxxOUTBURSTxxx|XxxOUTBURSTxxx]] 15:34, 2 June 2012 (EDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;REMOVED DUE TO SPOILERS--[[User:TOM|TOM]] 21:52, 25 February 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::Removing it is too late.  The point isn&#039;t that there&#039;s spoilers on this page, but that they were in your edit comments, which are created automatically when creating this page.  Going back and changing your comment doesn&#039;t solve the problem -- we can&#039;t see that on the recent changes page.&lt;br /&gt;
::(That said, coming to the wiki within a few hours of a new episode and expecting to look through the Recent Changes page spoiler-free is not terribly realistic.

{{disambig3|Laserbeak}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Laserbeak is a [[Decepticon]] [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFCLaserbeak.jpg|thumb|300px|The clearest shot of him in the whole game.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the [[Deployer (Prime)|Deployer]]s who stand with [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], &#039;&#039;&#039;Laserbeak&#039;&#039;&#039; may say the least, but he quickly distinguishes himself, as his powerful laser attacks can pin down an [[Autobot]] attack force... when it isn&#039;t cutting them to shreds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Exodus&#039;&#039; novel===&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron despised Soundwave&#039;s minions, including Laserbeak. Regardless, Soundwave found Laserbeak more valuable than [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], and when Soundwave did some intense thinking, his Minicons inside got restless. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Deployer DarknessRising3.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Origamicon.]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Soundwave intercepted a message from [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]], Soundwave released Laserbeak (which was resting on his chest) to bring Fowler to the &#039;&#039;[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]&#039;&#039;. After chasing Fowler&#039;s helicopter, the drone grabbed Fowler with his tentacles and returned to the Decepticon ship. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Laserbeakface.jpg|right|thumb|250px|This is a bird?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Soundwave picked up a possible signal from [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]], who was previously assumed dead, [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] went to investigate.  Untrusting of Starscream, Soundwave decided to keep an eye on him by sending Laserbeak after him.  After finding Megatron, Starscream intended to allow Megatron to perish, but was forced to reconsider when he discovered Soundwave&#039;s Minicon watching him.  {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While proving a point to [[Airachnid]], Soundwave unleashed Laserbeak, who zoomed around the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; bridge and shot her a couple of times. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When the captive [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] were brought before Soundwave in the Kaon Prison, Laserbeak swooped down and perched on his master&#039;s arm. It soon turned out, however, that Prime&#039;s team had allowed themselves to be captured so they could rescue [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], and as they escaped and made their way through the prison, Laserbeak could be spotted lurking in the shadows, watching their progress, at three different locations. By the time Prime&#039;s group made it to Soundwave&#039;s laboratory, where Zeta Prime was being held Laserbeak had reunited with his master, and joined Soundwave in battling the Autobots. Laserbeak served as Soundwave&#039;s last line of defense in the clash, ejecting from his chest and screeching across the lab at high speeds, blasting laser bursts onto the Autobots below. He was eventually downed, however, and accompanied Soundwave in a hasty retreat, but not before Soundwave fatally wounded Zeta Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I think this page should be broken up into its component chapters, or at least as a brief overview and hub to those chapters.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 17:50, 29 December 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the fact that Galvatron would just leave his cannon lying out in the open like that in itself counts as an error, not just when Autobots decide to build a city on the same lot - how did he intend to make sure no one would just go and destroy the damn thing right after he leaves? He couldn&#039;t exactly bury it either since, assumably, it&#039;s supposed to be powered by sunlight the solar panels will have collected in the 20 years. [[User:84.250.41.125|84.250.41.125]] 17:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:After he&#039;s tested the weapon he explicitly states that he&#039;s going to hang around in 1986 long enough for it to recharge, so presumably it would be buried fully loaded. [[User:Timrollpickering|Timrollpickering]] 22:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Galvatron and Megatron==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several times Megatron has been able to take Galvatron by surprise.  How could Galvatron have forgotten that back when he was Megatron, he was approached by a time-traveller from the future claiming to be the Decepticon leader of the year 2006?  [[Special:Contributions/84.71.227.54|84.71.227.54]] 11:46, 21 July 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:The act of traveling back in time appears to change his own past.  There is some vague indication (circa Time Wars) that Galvatron&#039;s memories revise themselves to accomodate these minor changes, but the process is not immediate. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 11:49, 21 July 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

In regards to Time Wars, we know that Galvatron is partnered with Straxus-Megatron in our reality but how about in Galvatron&#039;s memories that it was the real Megatron (who later becomes Galvatron) who was partnered with Galvatron and not Straxus-Megatron?  It goes some way to explaining why things are happening differently - because he has a different partner. The only explanations needed here is how the real Megatron got to fight alongside Galvatron (which doesn&#039;t matter much since nobody cares or gives much thought to the events that transpired in Galvatron&#039;s memories other than what we see in the comic) but I like the different partner explanation more so than the Galvatron throughout the Marvel U.K. comics and the &#039;86 movie being an upgrade to someone who was just a clone of Megatron and not the real Megatron explanation. But yeah, Time Wars *IS* a catalogue of continuity errors with no real correct answer I suppose. If you want to believe that this Galvatron was originally Straxus then its up to you. I just find it kinda messy and requires more work to get it to fit. Try reading Time Wars from my perspective and see how that works for you.

I&#039;ve added a little bit on Omega to the errors section to clarify it a bit as Smokescreen actually says they should sic Omega on the current Decepticons rather than the future ones (and before Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge had arrived at Megatron&#039;s base). It is a really big omission they don&#039;t use him at all, especially as &amp;quot;Omega is the last line of defense for the Autobots, a titanic guardian robot capable of instilling fear and panic into the sparks of Decepticons that dare face him on the field of battle&amp;quot;.

I think a little too much is made of the Autobots not using Omega Supreme. Yes, the comic doesn&#039;t give a reason for it, but the reason isn&#039;t too hard to imagine. Omega Supreme is a defense base. Siccing him on the Decepticons would be offense. If he failed, the Ark would be without its last line of defense.

I think the fact that Galvatron would just leave his cannon lying out in the open like that in itself counts as an error, not just when Autobots decide to build a city on the same lot - how did he intend to make sure no one would just go and destroy the damn thing right after he leaves? He couldn&#039;t exactly bury it either since, assumably, it&#039;s supposed to be powered by sunlight the solar panels will have collected in the 20 years.

&lt;div&gt;Do you have a quote of Sentinel being specifically mentioned in the comic? I don&#039;t remember anything past the uni scene. While the original thirteen were killed by the Fallen in the comic and novel, there&#039;s nothing to confirm Sentinel wasn&#039;t a descendant like Optimus.

::Erm ok, thanks for the quote Starfield, anyway, Jetfire explained in the adaptations that The Fallen returned to Cybertron, after the battle with the first generation for Earth, slaughtering all the Primes except for the child hidden from him (Optimus).

Youtube) &#039;&#039;&#039;isn&#039;t&#039;&#039;&#039; clear-cut enough to even say for certain that Sentinel Prime is an individual-- let alone that he&#039;s one of the 12!  The phrasing is just... ambiguous, and the timeline is a godawful mess thanks to ROTF&#039;s 17,000 years retcon, and questions of whether the 13 in the movie are &#039;&#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039;&#039; 13 or not.

:::The first time I heard Sentinel mentioned was in the movie. And the Sentinel Prime expedition. You&#039;d be forgiven for presuming, and really there&#039;s no reason not too, it was named after the Prime in charge. And given the massively different origin of the Primes in the movie compared to the adaptations, it seems again logical that he&#039;s simple a predecessor of Optimus, not one of the original Primes. There is some assumptions being made, however they are logical assumptions. IF you&#039;re concerned, throw in a note at the bottom.

In DotM he was the major plot-driving character voiced by an actor with decades of Transformers association; in RotF he was about a syllable and a half of incoherent mumbling. Unlike Arcee in the first movie franchise, S.P. didn&#039;t even get a toy in RotF.

Hey, I thought he was BIG jerk too.(Never seen the movie though.)&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe Sentinel(TFA) wanted to get revenge on Optimus(TFA).&lt;br /&gt;
So, he decided to get a role on Dark of the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
His audition was successful. All he needed to do was change his alternate mode to make sure nobody knew it was him.&lt;br /&gt;
When the moment was right he could get revenge on Optimus(For stealing his fifteen stellar cycles of fame).&lt;br /&gt;
However,on set he was killed. And it was caught on film!&lt;br /&gt;

== Decepticon Or Not==&lt;br /&gt;
Since the movie&#039;s out on DVD and Blueray now I&#039;m putting it out in the open: Why aren&#039;t we putting Sentinel as a Decepticon. I  know the last time it was discussed someone mentioned how he reffered to himself as &amp;quot;true leader of the Autobots&amp;quot; and someone else said he seemed disgusted at making a deal with the cons. BUT despite this the way I see it he not only joined up with the Decepticons, he pretty much took complete CONTROL over them. The reason we see Megatron sulking when Carly comes up to him is because Sentinel took over his forces; Sentinel&#039;s giving the orders. Sentinel also wouldn&#039;t be the first turncoat to claim to keep his own faction (and this doesn&#039;t even happen in the movie as I recall) but have the wiki still label him the opposite; Armada Starscream was considered by both himself AND his new allies to be a con is still listed as an Autobot for the four or so eps he was with them. I would even go so far as to say Sentinel can be considered a Decepticon Leader all things considered.--[[User:BlackStarscream|BlackStarscream]] 13:44, 30 September 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;NO.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:But you raise a good question.  Why &#039;&#039;do&#039;&#039; we have an Autobot symbol on Armada Starscream&#039;s page? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think he should count as a Con.Yes he only allied himself with them and then pretty much took them over and &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;still&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; called himself an Autobot,but he should have a Con symbole.I mean G1 Starscream has a Predacon symbole even if he was a Pred for &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;episode&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; of beast wars.And the North American version of the Headmasters and Targetmaster are Nebulans who allied themselves with the different transformers factions and still got the faction symboles of whichever side they where with.Just look at Vorath for example,it says Decepticon-&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;allied&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Nebulan. --[[User:Gamemaster|Gamemaster]] 22:07, 15 December 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No he&#039;s not a Decepticon.  He just allies with them against the other Autobots.  He doesn&#039;t actually join the Decepticon club and geta  membership card or anything.   In the Marvel UK Comics Carnivac turned against the Decepticons but he clearly refused membership in the Autobots despite staying with them.  Sentinel is an Autobot traitor but that doesn&#039;t automatically qualify him to be a Decepticon. [[Special:Contributions/82.27.5.237|82.27.5.237]] 08:18, 30 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

{{disambig3|Megatron}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Megatron is the [[Decepticon]] leader from the [[Aligned continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PrimeMegatron.jpg|thumb|400px|Lord of the [[Dark Energon]] wraiths.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The awesomely powerful &#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; is, in many ways, a fallen hero. He rose up from the oppressed lower working castes of [[Kaon]] to become a champion in the region&#039;s illegal [[gladiatorial combat|deathmatches]], cast aside his designation of &#039;&#039;&#039;D-16&#039;&#039;&#039; and took the legendary name &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Fallen|Megatronus]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Megatron was an abbreviation, so it&#039;d be easier for the masses to chant his name; &#039;&#039;Transformers: Exodus&#039;&#039;, Chapter 3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as his own, he called for an end to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]&#039;s decrepit [[caste system]] and told the downtrodden that freedom of self-determination was the right of all sentient beings!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But absolute power corrupts absolutely, and Megatron&#039;s Decepticon revolution, like many such movements, ended up becoming a whole new tyranny. Powerful, charismatic, violent, and full of rage for any who would stand in the way of his ambition and drive, Megatron brought Cybertron &#039;&#039;past&#039;&#039; the brink of destruction. Now he and his former brother-in-arms [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] fight on other worlds.  Megatron will never forgive Optimus for &amp;quot;betraying&amp;quot; him, stealing from the Council the rank of Prime which was rightfully his.  He has reserved for his old friend the greatest honor possible: glorious death at his hands.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron has been gone for three years, but now he&#039;s returned. He&#039;s brought the monstrous [[Dark Energon]] to Earth, and quite possibly left his sanity in space.&lt;br /&gt;

Megatron nicknamed himself D-16 after the sector of the mine where he performed demolition operations. As a gladiator, in killing others he began to appreciate the value of life, and in between matches he became something of an intellectual, debating the castes with other miners. After bosses requested he lose a few fights, D-16 killed them and took over Kaon and [[Slaughter City]]. After murdering one boss in front of his employees, D-16 declared himself Megatronus, whom he considered the greatest of the [[Thirteen]]. After hearing his preaching on the [[Communication Grid]] against the [[Guilds of Cybertron]], the concerned [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] sent [[Bumper (WFC)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (WFC)|Fastback]] to investigate. Megatronus killed them, believing two lives were worthless compared to the millions doomed by the castes Sentinel created. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a victorious battle with the [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]]s, in which the crowd redubbed him Megatron, the gladiator was contacted by the [[Iacon (polity)|Iaconian]] [[Hall of Records|records monitor]] [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]], and they began exchanging their ideas in intense but friendly philosophical discussions. Megatron encouraged Orion to learn self defense and invited him to visit Kaon, which he did to a warm welcome from Megatron (and from none of his gladiators). By this point Megatron was planning to call his movement the Decepticons, and he had begun sending his followers on a search for artifacts of the Primes, as their discovery would be signs their cause was just. His followers began bombing Cybertron, and Megatron distanced himself from their extremism to gain credibility. Orion and his mentor [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] believed him, but the latter was well aware Megatron might have gained a taste for violence after the attention it earned him. Soon enough, Megatron accepted the gift of a kidnapped Sentinel Prime from [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFCcomicHalogendies.jpg|thumb|250px|]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alpha Trion organized a hearing for Orion and Megatron with the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. They protested involvement in Sentinel&#039;s disappearance. When confronted with the phrase &amp;quot;Decepticon&amp;quot;, Megatron denied any knowledge of it but accepted his followers&#039; term wholeheartedly, stating deception was necessary sometimes for the corrupt to see the truth. When [[Halogen (WFC)|Halogen]] revealed Megatron&#039;s followers had been trying to locate the [[Matrix of Leadership]], he declared that Orion should become the Prime that he desperately wanted to lead Cybertron into the new [[Golden Age]], and find it. Incensed, Megatron killed Halogen, and when Optimus prevented the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] from attacking Megatron, the ungrateful gladiator declared Optimus had fallen into the trap of power the High Council had given him. He declared Optimus was no longer his brother (though he would continue to refer to him as such privately), and that the Matrix would be his.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the subsequent war with Optimus&#039; [[Autobot]]s, the Decepticons took control of eighty-five percent of the planet. Wherever Starscream&#039;s [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] aided, they were victorious. Megatron was initially merciful to neutrals, but he let Shockwave take control of [[Tarn]] and torture Autobot sympathizers there. When the [[Praxus|Praxians]], a progressive city-state who were disappointed with the direction Megatron took, allied with the Autobots, Megatron decided he would no longer try to convert followers and launched the first genocide of the war, slaughtering all in [[Nova Cronum]] who would not submit to the Decepticons as they attacked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the war dragged into a siege of Iacon, Soundwave&#039;s spying bore fruit as he discovered [[Dark Energon]], the essence of [[Unicron]], was aboard [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. Megatron forgave Starscream for hiding its existence from him, acknowledging its potentially dangerous nature. To ensure loyalty, Megatron&#039;s gladiators stormed the Station slaughtering and maiming Starscream&#039;s scientists. He forced Starscream to pick two test subjects to be Darkened, and following an astonishingly successful result, Megatron absorbed some, invigorating him. Soon Darkened Decepticons appeared on the battlefield, but it proved to be an inefficient resource and they would have to flee if a battle was prolonged. Megatron needed more, and even Starscream&#039;s activation of the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] didn&#039;t provide enough. Megatron felt he would kill all the Decepticons before he was deprived of Dark Energon and turn rabid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fortunately, Soundwave revealed the existence of the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] within [[Teletraan-1]], which required the [[Code Key]]s of Power and Justice to activate it. Starscream recovered the Key of Power, while Megatron and his best soldiers searched for the Key of Justice below the [[High Council Tower]]. Sentinel Prime emerged, to Megatron&#039;s surprise. Sentinel confronted him about Bumper and Fastback, and the two dueled. Megatron disarmed and sliced open Sentinel, revealing the Key of Justice within. Starscream made a grab for it, exposing that he had released Sentinel to kill Megatron and take leadership for himself. After fighting Starscream to a standstill, Megatron pardoned him as he found him a better soldier than would-be example, and used the Keys to open Teletraan-1: which activated [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] to fly the Chamber to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Seekers shot Omega Supreme out of the air, causing him to crash. Optimus&#039;s Autobots arrived to fight the Decepticons, but the more they killed them the more Dark Energon left their bodies and empowered Megatron. He was able to knee Omega Supreme and turn him on his back, tearing the Chamber out of his chest. Using the Chamber, Megatron poisoned the [[core]] of Cybertron and Darkened the entire planet. But then the core stopped producing Dark Energon, and Megatron learnt Optimus had gone to the core and received the Matrix. As the Autobots attempted to flee Cybertron via the last [[space bridge]], Megatron used Trypticon to fire on their ships, and used his and Orion&#039;s old frequency to criticize Optimus for fleeing. He added he never believed in individual freedom for every Cybertronian, only the illusion of freedom that he as leader would provide and that the Guilds did not. Optimus responded that Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts and they would turn on him, and used the &#039;&#039;[[Eight Track (WFC)|Eight Track]]&#039;&#039; to board, sabotage and crash Trypticon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the Autobots left on the completed &#039;&#039;[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;, the Decepticons fully invaded Iacon. Megatron ordered Trypticon to transform into the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, boarding it with Starscream, Soundwave, [[Lugnut (WFC)|Lugnut]] and other elite soldiers, leaving Shockwave in charge. He used his old frequency once again to warn Optimus that he would hound him through the stars and finally kill him for the Matrix. He explained they were still brothers, as they were bonded for life despite their enmity. Optimus was just glad his hunt would get him off Cybertron. The two ships entered the last [[space bridge]] together, and when the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039; emerged, the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; was gone. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the waning years of the [[Golden Age]] of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatronus (who named himself after [[The Fallen|one of the original thirteen Primes]]) was a gladiator who fought in the [[Kaon]] arena and noticed there was a disparity in freedom among the classes of his race, and that the ruling class was corrupt and all-powerful.  In drawing attention to this inequity, he inspired a [[Hall of Records]] clerk named [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]], and the two joined forces to end corruption and bring equality to the masses. Soundwave also helped them. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}   Orion and Megatronus became close allies, almost like brothers.  But soon Megatronus&#039;s ideals would become corrupted, and the two would become bitter enemies. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DarknessRising2-Megsflashback.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Things were very red in those days.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatronus shortened his name to Megatron before he and Orion Pax appeared before the [[High Council]].  Shocking his colleague with his true intentions, Megatron stated that he would overthrow the High Council by force and instate himself as the next [[Prime (rank)|Prime]].  But it was Orion&#039;s speech that drew their attention.  Jealous, Megatron left the council and Orion behind and began his conquest and vowed to find the [[Matrix of Leadership]] which was denied to him by the council. At an unknown point in the war, Megatron created the [[Vehicon]] army to serve him, recruited Soundwave into his army. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}} and also recruited Starscream, the seeker&#039;s air commander as his second in command{{Storylink|Partners}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the war, Megatron took the city of [[Kaon]] which contained the very area he fought in as a gladiator and used it as a capitol, although completely unaware that the legendary [[Vector Sigma]] (a device that also contained the Matrix&#039;s power) was right below his feet. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilers|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1|March 17, 2012}}&lt;br /&gt;
In a battle at [[Tyger Pax]], Megatron captured Autobot Bumblebee and interrogated him for intel but the scout would not give in which provoked Megatron to crush in his voice box. However Autobot&#039;s invaded the location and saved the scout but the scout himself was left with out a proper voice. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war resulted in countless casualties and left the [[Core]] of Cybertron itself [[Dark Energon|poisoned]]. Although he was denied the [[Matrix of Leadership]] by the High Council, Megatron became obsessed with finding it, but Orion Pax was given it by the Core itself, and Orion became Optimus Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}} Eventually the war left Cybertron in ruin and forced the whole transformer race into exile into space. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}}{{Storylink|Exodus}} But Megatron would not leave the planet unguarded and placed a few [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]] guards in stasis on the planet should the enemy return. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the following years, Megatron and Optimus fought many a battle, such as the [[Battle of Technar]] where Megatron ordered [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] to assassinate Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} After his failure, Megatron came to believe only he should finally terminate Prime. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DarknessRising2-MegatronDarkEnergon.jpg|right|thumb|250px|We can relate.  We&#039;re just like this with our [[BotCon]] toys.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually Megatron and his army&#039;s arrived on Earth with Starscream, Soundwave, [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]], [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]], [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]] and [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] to search for Energon and powerful weapon&#039;s that found their was there during the war. However Megatron withdrew to space to search for more troops, leaving Starscream in charge. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} However before leaving, Megatron set up several mining sites with [[Decepticon Miner]]s to dig for Energon {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}. He had several Decepticon soldiers such as Skyquake in charge of deposits not yet ready for mining. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} Searching the void for three years, Megatron found something better than mere warriors: he discovered a new source of Dark Energon, the &amp;quot;blood of [[Unicron]]&amp;quot;, with which he could reanimate fallen Transformers as an army of the undead. Returning to Earth and resuming command of the Decepticons, Megatron tested the Dark Energon on the deceased Autobot [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]], reviving him as a [[zombie]] &amp;quot;[[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcon]]&amp;quot; that slaughtered several [[Decepticon Miner]]s, but which posed no threat to Megatron himself. Unfortunately for Megatron, this partial reactivation of Cliffjumper&#039;s lifesigns drew Optimus Prime&#039;s Autobots to the Decepticons&#039; mining operations. Deciding it was not yet time for a confrontation with Prime, Megatron withdrew aboard the [[Nemesis (Prime)|&#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;]], and continued to brood over the Dark Energon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:darknessrising3_Megatronglowy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Megatron, you fool! Rave glowsticks aren&#039;t candy!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron&#039;s inability to control the zombie Cliffjumper convinced him that he needed to integrate the Dark Energon into his own body in order to control the undead legions he planned to create. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}} Thrusting a shard of the material into his spark, he was filled with its power, feeling as thought he was connected to Unicron&#039;s very thoughts. Requiring a test run for his new power, Megatron headed for the site of an ancient Cybertronian battle on Earth, full of the remains of fallen warriors, where he was confronted by Optimus and [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]. Using Dark Energon to raise the dead Transformers as Terrorcons, Megatron successfully found he had complete control of the undead horde, and send them against the two Autobots. [[Image:DarknessRising4-Megatron.jpg|right|thumb|250px|I chew scenery while the zombies chew &#039;&#039;you&#039;&#039;.]] {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}  Optimus and Ratchet fought their way through the Terrorcons, only for Megatron to fly off before they could reach him, satisfied with his test results and ready put his plan into action—to open a [[space bridge]] to Cybertron and use Dark Energon to revive the entire planet&#039;s dead. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}} Despite the Autobots&#039; best efforts to damage the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; and prevent the bridge from opening, Megatron succeeded in his plans, and then had his showdown with Optimus Prime atop the bridge itself as he waited for the Terrorcon legions to pass through to Earth. While the two old foes battled, the other Autobots sabotaged the bridge, causing it to explode and destroy both the Terrorcon army, and seemingly, Megatron himself. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}[[Image:Masters&amp;amp;Students-Megatronstasis.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Well, it&#039;s better than just [[Megatron (Animated)|being a head]] I suppose.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots were not so lucky, however: the Dark Energon in his spark allowed Megatron to survive the explosion, but just barely. When Starscream found his leader floating in space, he tore the Dark Energon from his body in the hope that he would expire, but was caught in the act by [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]]&#039;s [[Deployer (Prime)|Deployer]], [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] and forced to take Megatron back to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, where he was placed in [[Stasis lock|stasis]] in the sick bay. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} Starscream was content to leave Megatron in this state to recover or expire as fate saw fit, but the crew of the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; disagreed, and voted to bring in the Decepticon medic [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] to help heal their wounded leader. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}} Even with Knock Out&#039;s expertise, it seemed unlikely that Megatron would recover, but his assistant [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] gave his body a good buffing nonetheless; Starscream approved, as it meant their ex-leader would look his best for the memorial service. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--[[Image:DarknessRising5-Megatronsword.jpg|left|thumb|250px|He has to be careful when he wipes.]]--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SickMind megs and bee.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Hey, [[Megatron (Animated)|you]] really &#039;&#039;are&#039;&#039; [[Transform and Roll Out|uglier from this angle]]!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Optimus Prime was infected by cybonic plague, Arcee and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] board the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; to search for an antidote. While they failed to find one in the database, the two Autobots did discover Megatron in stasis, and Bumblebee mind-linked with the Decepticon leader via [[cortical psychic patch]] to try and pluck the cure from his sleeping brain. Bumblebee found himself within Megatron&#039;s mind, which took the form of [[Kaon]], where the Decepticon&#039;s subconscious was spending its time killing endless visions of Optimus Primes; unfortunately, Bumblebee&#039;s intrusion only caused Megatron to become aware of his situation, when he found he was unable to kill Bumblebee. Learning what had befallen Optimus, Megatron initially refused to give up the cure until Bumblebee convinced him that he would gain greater satisfaction from finishing his enemy off with his own two hands. Megatron offered the cure in exchange for Bumblebee&#039;s help in escaping his mental prison, but Bumblebee double-crossed him, withdrawing from his mind as soon as the cure was in Autobot hands. At the last moment, Megatron was able to effect his own escape, leaping into Bumblebee&#039;s mind along with him. {{storylink|Sick Mind}} [[Image:OutofhisHead megatron revived.jpg|left|thumb|250px|IT&#039;S... AAALLLLLIIIIIIIIVE!]] Recalling the sliver of Dark Energon Starscream had removed from his body, Megatron took full control of Bumblebee&#039;s body a short time later and used the GroundBridge to return to the ancient battlefield where he had raised his original Terrorcons, recovering the Dark Energon shard he had used to do so. He returned to the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]], where he dealt with Ratchet and [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] before again GroundBridging to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; and using the Dark Energon to restore his body and return his mind to it. Storming out of the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; to find Starscream, Megatron snatched his subordinate out of the air in the middle of a battle with Optimus Prime and took him back for his punishment. {{storylink|Out of His Head}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Shadowzone-MegsStarscream.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Lulz.]]  Despite his treason, Megatron decided not to terminate Starscream, viewing him as no real threat and taking perverse amusement in his repeated failures. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}} Instead, Megatron proceeded to beat Starscream only to &#039;&#039;near&#039;&#039; death, then had him placed in the infirmary, occasionally visiting to gloat. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Breakdown was captured by the humans of [[MECH]], Megatron refuted Starscream&#039;s suggestion that they rescue him, announcing that if Breakdown had allowed himself to be captured by those weaker than him, then he deserved whatever he got. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}} Breakdown did manage to escape, however, insisted his wounded pride saw him volunteer to recover a [[polarity gauntlet]] for Megatron, in order to prove his worth. Megatron was disappointed when his minion returned without the gauntlet, but was placated with the revelation that he had instead brought back [[Airachnid]]. {{storylink|Metal Attraction}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RockBottom-Starscreamprays.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Definitely &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; [[Bruticus]], Starscream.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Discovering that Starscream was still attempting to mine energon for his personal use without his knowledge, Megatron determined that the amusement had come to an end. Taking him to the mine in question, Megatron revealed that he had been aware of Starscream&#039;s previous transgressions the whole time thanks to Soundwave, and was about to execute his grovelling lieutenant when [[Jack Darby]] and [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] walked in. In the firefight that followed, stray shots from Megatron&#039;s fusion cannon brought the mine down on top of them all, with Megatron being completely pinned by rubble. Jack happened upon the Decepticon leader with a mining drill, and Megatron, knowing that the human would not help him, instead urged Jack to finish him off. Jack refused, saying that wasn&#039;t what Optimus would do, and left, but the opening he had created allowed Megatron to begin his escape. After finally extricating himself, Megatron came upon Starscream trying to keep a large rock from crushing him. Starscream insisted that he had come to rescue Megatron, and begged the Decepticon leader to spare him, and Megatron acquiesced with a smirk. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Megatron allowed Starscream to live and continue as his second-in-command, he was furious to learn from Airachnid that Starscream had kept the location of the &#039;&#039;[[Harbinger]]&#039;&#039; from him. He ordered Starscream to lead Airachnid to the crash site and retrieve an [[Immobilizer|experimental weapon]] that was inside. Much to Megatron&#039;s fury, Airachnid returned not only without the weapon, but with the news that Starscream had been captured by the Autobots as well. {{storylink|Partners}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:StrongerFaster-KnockOutMegatronRatchet.jpg|right|250px|thumb|&amp;quot;Steroids?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Yup.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Ah.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
When a formula for [[Synthetic Energon]] was transferred from a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]] into the mind of the Autobot [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]], Optimus Prime petitioned Megatron for the return of the cylinder so they could extract the formula, after which they would willingly hand it over. Megatron briefly considered the proposal, but instead sent Knock Out and Breakdown to capture Bulkhead and dared Prime to fight for the cylinder. When his Vehicon troops were defeated, Megatron simply crushed the device and took flight. {{storylink|T.M.I.}} The synthetic energon formula helped the Autobots counter Megatron&#039;s next tactic: causing the Autobots to burn through their energon supplies at an accelerated rate by leading them on wild goose chases. Juiced up on the &amp;quot;SynthEn&amp;quot;, Ratchet attacked Megatron and Knock Out while they were surveying an energon mine, and sent the Decepticon leader flying with one punch. Unfortunately for Ratchet, Megatron swiftly recovered and subdued the Autobot medic with ease. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PrimeEp23-Megatronjetmode.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Hold still, jet mode, so we can screencap you, dammit!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Convinced by Dark Energon-induced visions that an impending prophecy detailed his own destiny, Megatron stepped up the Decepticons&#039; work in constructing a new space bridge so they could obtain more Dark Energon. When they located the last component they needed, Megatron went in personally, grievously wounding Raf with a blast of Dark Energon on the way and creating an unintended distraction that allowed him to make off with the power source he needed. Soon after, Megatron lured Optimus Prime to a volcano he had seen in his visions, and during their battle, it erupted with Dark Energon, imbuing Megatron with the power he needed to fell Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}}[[Image:OneShallFall-visionfulfilled.jpg|thumb|255px|right|Look, Prime! Look at the fireworks! Aren&#039;t they splendid?!]] The intervention of the other Autobots saved Prime&#039;s life, but this was of little concern to Megatron, who now had all the Dark Energon he needed and set his miners to work gathering it up. When Soundwave detected a spark-beat coming from within the Earth, Megatron felt it pounding through his brain and realized what his visions had meant: the lifeforce of Unicron himself dwelt within Earth. Leaving Airachnid in command, Megatron flew into the volcano to address Unicron, but received not the power he hoped the chaos-bringer would bestow on him, but instead Unicron&#039;s displeasure at the fact that Optimus Prime still lived. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spurned, Megatron instead went to the aid of Optimus and his Autobots, who were under attack from Unicron&#039;s stone avatars. He offered Optimus his services—he intended to lead them to Unicron&#039;s real form so that Optimus could use the [[Matrix of Leadership]] on the Chaos God. While the Autobots returned to base, Megatron kept the giant stone Unicrons busy, and Prime eventually accepted Megatron&#039;s offer. On arrival in the Autobot base, Megatron encountered a couple of humans he recognized, Raf and Jack, as well as a [[Miko Nakadai|new loud one]]. Megatron was first to step through the GroundBridge into the Earth&#039;s core, and as the Autobots followed, he warned them that Unicron already knew they were there. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:OneShallRise3-together.jpg|thumb|255px|left|&amp;quot;Just this once, we work together! Mortal enemies working together for the common good!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Be quiet!&amp;quot;]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the persistent influence of Unicron, Megatron led the Autobots through Unicron&#039;s insides, even helping them fight off [[Unicron&#039;s antibodies|antibodies]]. The Dark Energon he was imbued with allowed him to enter Unicron&#039;s spark chamber with Optimus, though at that point Unicron&#039;s influence became so great that the Chaos God was able to commandeer his body. After Optimus unleashed the power of the Matrix, apparently extinguishing Unicron&#039;s spark, Megatron went to kill Optimus, only to discover his foe had lost his memory and now believed himself to be Orion Pax. Megatron convinced Optimus that the other Autobots were enemies, and the pair returned to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, where Megatron introduced &amp;quot;Orion Pax&amp;quot; to his men. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron wasted no time in spinning a tale of Autobot warlord Ratchet and the destruction of Cybertron, and put Orion Pax to work decoding data from the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] archives for a [[Project Iacon|project]] of the same name. Though aware that at some point Orion would find out the truth, Megatron made all precautions to make sure that didn&#039;t happen before Orion finished his work. Knock Out was ordered to set up Orion&#039;s work station a mere few inches away from the Energon storage vault. Orion work on this project for the next 2 months. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During Orion&#039;s decoding, the archivist noted several references to Starscream as being Megatron&#039;s second in command. As part of his deception, Megatron claimed Starscream to be dead. order Soundwave to carefully remove Arcee from the ship with a GroundBridge. Arachnid offered to destroy the bike bot herself but Megatron feared that Orion would become weary of their activity&#039;s should he bare witness to an Autobot&#039;s destruction.{{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron attempted to cover for a surprise visit by Starscream when he managed to sneak aboard the ship. Orion asked why Megatron lied, but the con leader stated that Starscream as &amp;quot;dead&amp;quot; to their cause for joining the Autobots. However, Starscream&#039;s visit caused Orion to uncover the truth and find out that he was infact Optimus Prime, the so called leader of the Autobot &amp;quot;invaders&amp;quot;. Soundwave notified Megatron of Orion finding information on Optimus Prime and Megatron realized that harsher methods would be necessary to complete [[Project Iacon]]. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron payed Orion a visit to expose Orion&#039;s findings. Orion demanded to know the full truth but Megatron refused, this caused Orion to delete his findings. However Soundwave had in fact recorded his finding&#039;s and the data was saved who informed Megatron of activity at the space bridge and went there to find the Autobots had taken control of it. Also one of their [[Insecticon (Prime)|traps]] on Cybertron was activated. Megatron ordered the guards to watch Orion while he went out and threaded to kill the archivist if he had not completed the project if he did not complete it. Megatron realized that the Autobot&#039;s must of been searching for a way to restore Orion to Optimus. He arrived to the space bridge and defeated the trio who were there, and waited for Arcee to return through the open space bridge with the expected Matrix. However in the meantime Orion had overpowered his guards and came to attack Megatron. Orion declared his loyalty to the Autobot&#039;s, pulled out his blades (one of which was &#039;&#039;still&#039;&#039; broken) and attacked Megatron but was no match for him, but while the Decepticon leader was subsequently kept busy by Arcee, Jack returned the Matrix to Orion, who regained his memory and left with the Autobots, leaving Megatron screaming furiously at his failure. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{spoilers|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1|March 17, 2012}}&lt;br /&gt;
Following the first of the coordinates left by Orion, Megatron and his men unearthed the [[spark extractor|Spark Extractor]]. Unfortunately while Megatron was taking it back through the GroundBridge, it was taken from him by Bumblebee. He was &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; unhappy and began to regret only taking to scouts vocal processor and not his life but Soundwave reminded him of the other two sets of coordinates with weapons. He then ordered Knock Out and Breakdown to retrieve another artifact before Bulkhead and Bumblebee did. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;

They had barely planted the first bomb when they were spotted and fired on. After the other three Decepticons were shot down, Megatron gave Soundwave a bomb and set about causing a distraction while his second-in-command went to plant it. When Soundwave was also shot down, Megatron flew into action, helping up the rest of his team and carrying Soundwave as they retreated under the cover of an exploding bomb. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.2|War Story}}&lt;br /&gt;

===&#039;&#039;Transformers: War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice actor&#039;&#039;: [[Fred Tatasciore]] (English), [[Oliviero Corbetta]] (Italian), [[Juan Carlos Lozano]] (Spain-Spanish)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC_Megatron.jpg|thumb|350px|He wants the whooole wooorld, in his hand!]]&lt;br /&gt;
During the early war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatron found reference to an energy source called [[Dark Energon]], which had impressive potential as a weapon, and became determined to claim it for himself. One of the few places it was made was in a station in orbit around Cybertron, guarded by a politically neutral force led by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. With this knowledge, he took a ship and launched an assault on the station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship was badly damaged in the attack, and so he ordered [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]] and [[Brawl (WFC)| Brawl]], piloting it, to ram the station.  He and many of his soldiers survived the impact and escaped the core&#039;s detonation. They were then confronted by Starscream, who informed them that they would not allow them to take what he had guarded for ten thousand years.  After surviving a trap of sentry guns, Megatron, Barricade, and Brawl were reinforced by more of Megatron&#039;s troops, and set out on their way to find the station&#039;s Dark Energon stores and claim them for the war effort.  They encountered significant resistance, but managed to shoot their way through, with directional aid from [[Soundwave (Prime)| Soundwave]].  Barricade noted that the station itself seemed quite primitive; Megatron noted it was very old, and that he intended to modernize it...  At one point, the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] confronted Megatron nonviolently, asking him to give up his quest, as Dark Energon would result in only horror, death, and destruction, to which Megatron sneered, &amp;quot;You say that as if it were a bad thing.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC-MegatronmeetsStarscream.jpg|left|thumb|300px|At last we meet, my punching bag.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along their way to the Dark Energon, they found that a large portion of the station had been blasted clean off, the debris field traversable but sparse enough to allow easy viewing of Cybertron itself. Soundwave soon found records indicating that a small amount of Dark Energon lost containment and was the sole cause of the destruction, underscoring Megatron&#039;s desire for it.  When Barricade asked how he expected to control it when no other had, Megatron said that such power was only for the strong, that he was the strongest, and not to question him again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When they finally reached the storage chamber, and Megatron averted Starscream&#039;s destruction of it, he calmly entered into a container full of raw Dark Energon, while Starscream watched and gloated at his imminent destruction...only for him to walk out, not only unscathed, but crackling with power, which he further bestowed upon Barricade and Brawl. A single blast of Dark Energon was enough to destroy an entire company of station security forces, the last line of defense between Megatron and Starscream and his companions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jetfire again tried to warn Megatron about the dangers of Dark Energon, but Starscream interrupted, asking to join the Decepticon leader. Megatron asked what Starscream could offer that he could not simply take. Starscream revealed the station&#039;s supply of Dark Energon was almost spent, and he knew how to manufacture more—and as luck would have it, there was a dormant [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] which could be used to power it. Jetfire retreated to inform [[Sentinel Zeta Prime| Zeta Prime]]; Megatron let him go, seeming pleased by the notion of letting the Autobots tremble in advance of their actions, and sent Starscream, [[Thundercracker (WFC)| Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (WFC)| Skywarp]] to activate the bridge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron repeatedly mocked what he perceived as Starscream&#039;s slowness in his simple mission, but the Seeker did what he said he could.  With a steady supply of Dark Energon, Megatron launched an attack on Iacon City, intending to take a device called the [[Omega Key]] and use it to enter the Core of Cybertron. This time, he took [[Breakdown (Prime)| Breakdown]] and Soundwave with him. The trio took the less-guarded way in—which, since the Autobots were not complete fools (as even Megatron would admit), still had significant military presence. During the attack, Starscream noted that Dark Energon was proving every bit as potent as Megatron had promised. Breakdown let Megatron know of his misgivings about the Sky Commander; Megatron admitted he was treacherous and untrustworthy, but he had useful talents, and his cunning and ambition was intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Omega Key had been taken from its normal resting place, however, by Autobot leader Zeta Prime, and so Megatron took his squad on an assault on Zeta&#039;s headquarters.  They met Brawl, leading an attack on the doors to Zeta Prime&#039;s armory, along the way.  Even Megatron&#039;s touch of Dark Energon could not breach the vault doors, however, and so he called in [[Dark Energon Bombers]]. When they were shot down, Brawl suggested they take out the Autobots&#039; air defense guns, after which bombers were called in again; Megatron&#039;s troops then held off a massive assault from what seemed like the entire Autobot army while waiting for the bombing run to finally arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC Megatron Vs ZetaPrime.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Zeta Prime, you might be more egotistical than me. I mean really, a huge holographic version of you and smaller holograms doing what you can&#039;t do without your pointy stick thing?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the vault doors were breached, they reached Zeta Prime himself, who had constructed several layers of security while he waited.  An invincible energy field protected him, while he could drop portions of the ceiling with pistons to crush anything beneath them, and construct endless holographic clones of himself outfitted for melee combat, which Megatron personally found nauseating.  However, his defenses were not without flaw: periodically, the power core would need to disperse waste heat, and Megatron&#039;s team survived long enough to destroy it during this stage.  Zeta fell, buried under the wreckage of his own defenses, and Megatron took the device he&#039;d carried...which started to make electronic chirping noises.  Zeta, with black humor, noted that the device was not the Omega Key.  It merely &#039;&#039;activated&#039;&#039; the Key, which would come to them... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Searching for the Key in the skies aboard another ship, Megatron, with Soundwave and Breakdown at the controls, were abruptly confronted by a massive ship, [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]], who knocked them out of the sky, causing them to crash back in Iacon. There, they played a cat-and-mouse campaign in a desperate attempt to survive the enormous Autobot&#039;s vast firepower, though Soundwave noted that the weaponry they bore had little chance of penetrating Omega Supreme&#039;s armor.  Megatron, for his part, at least contrived to appear unafraid, claiming that if it came to a real fight, the brute wouldn&#039;t stand a chance against Megatron&#039;s intellect.  However, Omega&#039;s attacks drove them underground and left them unable to immediately transmit counter to Starscream, who declared Megatron dead and announced he was taking control.  Even when they re-established contact, Starscream&#039;s aerial forces only briefly distracted Omega, who dispensed large numbers of troops, sucked up Decepticons with a tractor beam, fired weapons of mass destruction, and mined the roads Megatron and his squad were using.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave, however, had come up with a suggestion—there were weapons emplacements higher up that had the ability to damage Omega Supreme.  Taking them from the Autobots was a battle in and of itself, but nothing compared to the fight against Omega Supreme, who could unload entire squadrons of Aerialbots.  Nonetheless, Megatron&#039;s boldness and tactical acumen finally shot Omega Supreme out of the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC-hearmynameandtremble.jpg|left|thumb|300px|I stand on your crotch!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloating, Megatron found that the behemoth was still not defeated, and indeed was drawing power from Cybertron itself to repair his systems, making him stronger, if anything.  However, by corrupting the energon batteries with which he was using to feed himself with Dark Energon charges, they were able to weaken him to the point where they could finally blast away his last defenses and brought him to heel.  With Omega Supreme defeated, Megatron went underground, directly to the Core, and corrupted it with a massive infusion of Dark Energon, finally bringing Cybertron itself more completely under his control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, Megatron was clearly convinced, and for good reason, that he&#039;d won, making propaganda broadcasts extolling his greatness and how he had taken away the Autobots&#039; burdens of &amp;quot;liberty&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;choice&amp;quot;.  When Starscream was defeated and the Decagon retaken, however, he realized the Autobots were not yet going to roll over for him, and sent a distress signal from Zeta Prime, whom he had kept alive in the Kaon prison camp, in order to provoke a rescue attempt from the Autobots.  His old acquaintance Optimus took the bait, and Megatron confronted him, telling him that the war could be over tomorrow if Optimus took the Autobots and left.  Optimus refused, so Megatron consigned him and his team to the prisons.  When they managed to stage a mass breakout, an enraged Megatron ordered his troops to prevent their escape at any cost, to the point of tearing apart portions of Kaon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was not enough, however, and they escaped, journeying to the Core, where they kickstarted the cleansing of Megatron&#039;s corruption.  Doing so, however, would take the Core millions of years of shutdown, rendering Cybertron uninhabitable.  Whether Megatron knew this or not, when he saw the Autobots leaving after Optimus&#039;s refusal of his earlier offer, he apparently took offense.  His earlier plans of renovating Starscream&#039;s station had come to fruition; now, it mounted a powerful superweapon, capable of destroying entire structures in one shot.  He had it fire upon the Autobot transports as they left.  When a team of Aerialbots attempted to disable or destroy it, he called Jetfire, now one of them, and taunted him about his past.  He further mocked them when they destroyed the plasma coolant system without apparently having accounted for backups.  Finally, during the attack he came into possession of information on Optimus Prime&#039;s location, and ordered Trypticon—the name of the weapon, for it was actually a Cybertronian—to fire upon it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trypticon, however, was forced into his natural form and defeated after he crash-landed on Cybertron.  Megatron&#039;s reaction to this went unrecorded. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Transformers: War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; (DS)===&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron was the Decepticon Leader during the final days of the Great War. After capturing an Autobot facility, and killing a cadet, Megatron revealed his plan to his troops. Megatron intended to conquer Trypticon Space Station, which had the means and power to manufacture Dark Energon: a variant of Energon which greatly increased the stamina and strength of its host. Megatron fought his way through the station to its commander, the Autobot Starscream. Upon Starscream&#039;s defeat, Starscream offered his services and the Dark Energon if he was spared. Megatron agreed, and Starscream joined the Decepticons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a test run of the Dark Energon in Kaon Prison, Soundwave deduced the element would only kill the host, but Starscream was able to find a way to fix it. Megatron then decided the time was right, and led his army to the inner levels of Cybertron. He was able to activate the uplink to channel energy from the Core of Cybertron itself to Trypticon Station, but he needed the Omega Key to access it once it was shut down with a firewall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFCDS Defeat Omega Supreme.jpg|thumb|left|256px|Simple enough... OH GOD BULLETS.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron learned through a recording from Laserbeak that Autobot Leader Zeta Prime had the Omega Key in his possession and had holed up deep within Iacon. Megatron led a full-scale assault on the city, totally devastating Iacon, until he found Zeta Prime at last. After a hard battle, Zeta fell, and Megatron obtained the Omega Key. However, immediately upon taking it, alarms went off, and Iacon itself was shaking. Zeta Prime, despite being mortally wounded, laughed at Megatron&#039;s face, saying the Omega Key was only the key to the &#039;&#039;true&#039;&#039; key: the city-sized Autobot Omega Supreme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Omega immediately attacked the victorious Decepticons, and quickly decimated their presence in Iacon, save for Megatron&#039;s team and a few others. By this point, Megatron was absolutely furious at Starscream: Megatron declared it was he who led them to Omega Supreme and the devastating onslaught he carried out. Starscream bitterly retorted even if Megatron killed him, Omega Supreme would still be out for his blood, helping nothing whatsoever. Megatron angrily let it go for the time being, and led his army to battle. His troops&#039; confidence beginning to falter, Megatron declared they would either be kicking themselves for not acting for the rest of their lives, or heroes in a historic event. His men followed him to battle Omega, and the titan fell. Megatron was free to corrupt the Core of Cybertron with Dark Energon, and obtain near-supremacy of Cybertron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That kind of went downhill when the new Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, extinguished the Dark Energon and destroyed Trypticon Space Station, didn&#039;t it?&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Voice actor&#039;&#039;: [[Fred Tatasciore]] (English), [[Oliviero Corbetta]] (Italian)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early in the war, when the Autobots learned of the existence of the orbiting superweapon [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]], Megatron sent waves of Decepticon forces to keep them from discovering more about it. Megatron, happy to see the destruction Trypticon was creating, ordered Starscream and Skywarp at gunpoint to return to Trypticon and clean up after it, while he took his troops into battle to scour the area for Autobots to kill. Few Autobots other than the medic, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]], were spared Megatron&#039;s initial assault.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron found out that Starscream had left his post at Trypticon, Megatron grew angry. But the Autobots had infiltrated the [[Datacore]], so Megatron focused his efforts there instead. Bumblebee was captured, and information useful for the taking of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] was pulled from his mind. Megatron assigned Skywarp the task of the initial Iacon assault. The traitorous Starscream returned to Megatron&#039;s focus, and the Air Commander was ordered to infiltrate the Core of Cybertron to reactivate the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]]. But Starscream took too long, discovering Megatron had already reached the Core by the time he arrived. In a foul mood, Megatron would test Starscream&#039;s loyalty by putting him on the Iacon assault&#039;s front lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The assault went as planned, and Iacon crumbled. As Barricade and Starscream reached an empty Council Chamber, Megatro alerted them to the evacuation of the surviving Autobots. Three Autobot ships positioned themselves to escape, and so Megatron ordered Thundercracker and Skywarp to take them down.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Iacon fell, the Trypticon orbiting superweapon was destroyed by the Autobots... but not before Megatron ripped the datacore from its brain so as to salvage its information on Dark Energon. Megatron was pleased. Despite his loss, he still had the upper hand. {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Cybertronian Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: clear purple missile, fusion cannon&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy is based on Megatron&#039;s appearance in the video game &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, transforming into a Cybertronian self-propelled gun.  The treads of his vehicle can be positioned in either a vertical configuration like a traditional tank or in a horizontal, hovertank configuration.  Megatron&#039;s spring-loaded cannon can attach to either arm. He also has an insignia on his back, but unlike Optimus, his is not hidden by kibble.  Like [[Soundwave (Prime)|&#039;&#039;War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; Soundwave]], his head has a light-piping gimmick that has been neutered by his painted eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Some units of the figure have Megatron&#039;s left internal shoulder strut misassembled, preventing that side of the tank-mode from becoming properly flush to the body when transforming. This can be corrected by unscrewing and separating the outer shoulder structure, flipping the strut 180 degrees, and reassembling the shoulder covering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Also, the packaging image for his tank mode is flipped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime vs Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (First Edition 5 figure gift set, 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: [[Fusion cannon]]&lt;br /&gt;
: This Deluxe-Class version of Megatron transforms into his alien ship mode. He comes with his Fusion Cannon, which can either be held with his hands in robot mode, or peg onto his jet mode by folding the handle in and pegging it behind his exposed, peeking head. It is also in this latter configuration for the cannon that the otherwise useless groove and tab on the cannon and its handle can be pegged onto the tab and otherwise useless socket on his right arm, giving him the classic, arm-mounted, yet &#039;&#039;strangely undocumented&#039;&#039; Fusion Cannon configuration shown in his [[stock photography]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Speaking of undocumented features, his [[instructions]] show a noticeably different &amp;quot;completed&amp;quot; vehicle mode when compared to his stock photos. Specifically, the instructions completely neglect the extra steps to flip his wings out and form a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] vehicle mode, opting instead for a more slender, wingless vehicle mode. To achieve this undocumented form, his underside leg panels must be opened, flipped around and over to the top of the ship, be pegged onto a tab on the side of his intakes, and his pointy wingtips must be flipped out from underneath. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also has some clearance issues when transforming. His intakes and the panel that surrounds his head in vehicle mode tend to collide when the intakes are snugly angled into and out of the panel, often resulting in the intakes popping off the (detachable) plastic hinges that they&#039;re on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also comes somewhat mis-transformed in the package, with the positions of the intakes and the panel on his back being switched around, with the panel being placed &#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039; the intakes, instead of &#039;&#039;before&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He comes with a similarly-scaled [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] and PVC figurines of [[Miko Nakadai]], [[Jack Darby]] and [[Raf Esquivel]], as well as a DVD of the &amp;quot;Series Premiere&amp;quot; episode &amp;quot;[[Masters &amp;amp; Students]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

: Like the Cyberverse version, this Megatron has a fair amount of translucent purple plastic in the torso and forearms, and a similar general design to his other &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; toys of the line in both modes, although the plastic is a little more matte than in the stock photo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with two weapons; the arm cannon is a MechTech-like weapon, where pushing a plunger at the back swings two blades out from either side and pushes a third one forward, combining to make a larger one below the cannon&#039;s mouth. At the same time, a red LED swings out and activates, shining through the plastic blades. The cannon can be mounted on either arm, either in the classic elbow port or from one on the wrist, and the blade can be locked in place by manually swinging the blades out while holding the plunger back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also comes with a combat claw, which mounts on the wrist point on either hand and has a piece which rests in the hand to appear more as if it&#039;s being held. The claw can also be mounted in front of the cannon, which does not interfere with the cannon&#039;s blade gimmick. Both weapons can also be stored on the back when not in use, and it is possible to trigger the cannon&#039;s LED gimmick and lock it on while on the back without unfolding the blade much, resulting in the LED shining through and making the inner chest glow red.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Tfprimemegatronjet.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Too fast for screen caps.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*As revealed in [[One Shall Rise, Part 3]], Megatron used to have blue optics.&lt;br /&gt;
*Megatron&#039;s designation as an energon miner was &amp;quot;D-16&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=7fd5ecd9-19b9-f369-1041-a7635be83172 War for Cybertron timeline].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Megatron&#039;s original [[Japanese ID number list|Japanese ID number]] was &amp;quot;16&amp;quot;. Takara would eventually change the numbering system using a &amp;quot;D&amp;quot; to denote [[Decepticon|Destrons]]. So Megatron&#039;s Japanese ID number could retroactively be considered &amp;quot;D-16&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*In &#039;&#039;Transformers: War for Cybertron&#039;&#039;, Megatron has multiple glitches when controlled by the computer, among them shrinking (quite hilariously), losing his Fusion Cannon, and having his Tank mode cannon stick straight up (also humorous). He may be the most glitchy character in the game.&lt;br /&gt;
*Optimus Prime&#039;s recollections in &#039;&#039;Darkness Rising&#039;&#039; have him and Megatron fighting side-by-side at the start of the Great War. This is the first time a Megatron has been involved in a Great War that he &#039;&#039;didn&#039;t&#039;&#039; start, never mind one where he used to be a goodie.&lt;br /&gt;
*The show design of this version of Megatron takes visual cues from both G1 (the ever-famous [[Megatron (G1)| buckethead]] and lower legs resembling a pistol&#039;s handgrip) and [[Megatron (Movie)|the Movie version]] of the Decepticon leader (the sharp angles and bits on his shoulders, along with two-toed feet and a demonic-looking face with sharp teeth), even including the jet mode the latter version appeared in.&lt;br /&gt;
*The &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; staff used the same rationale that Megatron would not scan an Earth mode out of disgust at humans.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/botcon-2010-transformers-prime-panel-coverage-170054/ BotCon 2010 Transformers Prime Panel Coverage]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; According to Cybertronian Megatron&#039;s packaging bio, Megatron often changes his altmode, probably in an attempt to explain why he&#039;s a tank in the game and a jet in the cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;
*At a video shown at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, Welker explained his &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; voice for Megatron would be mostly toned down from his Generation 1 counterpart, to give the character more range.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/san-diego-comic-con-33/transformers-prime---peter-cullen--frank-welker-behind-the-scenes-170264/ Transformers Prime - Peter Cullen &amp;amp; Frank Welker Behind the Scenes] TFW2005&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When the show aired, Megatron indeed had a more quiet, sinister version of his voice than the iconic shouty one.&lt;br /&gt;

{{disambig3|Megatron}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Megatron is the [[Decepticon]] leader from the [[Aligned continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PrimeMegatron.jpg|thumb|400px|Lord of the [[Dark Energon]] wraiths.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The awesomely powerful &#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; is, in many ways, a fallen hero. He rose up from the oppressed lower working castes of [[Kaon]] to become a champion in the region&#039;s illegal [[gladiatorial combat|deathmatches]], cast aside his designation of &#039;&#039;&#039;D-16&#039;&#039;&#039; and took the legendary name &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Fallen|Megatronus]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Megatron was an abbreviation, so it&#039;d be easier for the masses to chant his name; &#039;&#039;Transformers: Exodus&#039;&#039;, Chapter 3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as his own, he called for an end to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]&#039;s decrepit [[caste system]] and told the downtrodden that freedom of self-determination was the right of all sentient beings!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But absolute power corrupts absolutely, and Megatron&#039;s Decepticon revolution, like many such movements, ended up becoming a whole new tyranny. Powerful, charismatic, violent, and full of rage for any who would stand in the way of his ambition and drive, Megatron brought Cybertron &#039;&#039;past&#039;&#039; the brink of destruction. Now he and his former brother-in-arms [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] fight on other worlds.  Megatron will never forgive Optimus for &amp;quot;betraying&amp;quot; him, stealing from the Council the rank of Prime which was rightfully his.  He has reserved for his old friend the greatest honor possible: glorious death at his hands.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron has been gone for three years, but now he&#039;s returned. He&#039;s brought the monstrous [[Dark Energon]] to Earth, and quite possibly left his sanity in space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Aligned novels===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFCcomicD16.jpg|thumb|left|250px|&amp;quot;Alright! What&#039;s the square root of pi?! What&#039;s the capital of Sierre Leone?! What&#039;s... awww, this &#039;ask questions later&#039; thing doesn&#039;t work at &#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039;.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron nicknamed himself D-16 after the sector of the mine where he performed demolition operations. As a gladiator, in killing others he began to appreciate the value of life, and in between matches he became something of an intellectual, debating the castes with other miners. After bosses requested he lose a few fights, D-16 killed them and took over Kaon and [[Slaughter City]]. After murdering one boss in front of his employees, D-16 declared himself Megatronus, whom he considered the greatest of the [[Thirteen]]. After hearing his preaching on the [[Communication Grid]] against the [[Guilds of Cybertron]], the concerned [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] sent [[Bumper (WFC)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (WFC)|Fastback]] to investigate. Megatronus killed them, believing two lives were worthless compared to the millions doomed by the castes Sentinel created. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a victorious battle with the [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]]s, in which the crowd redubbed him Megatron, the gladiator was contacted by the [[Iacon (polity)|Iaconian]] [[Hall of Records|records monitor]] [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]], and they began exchanging their ideas in intense but friendly philosophical discussions. Megatron encouraged Orion to learn self defense and invited him to visit Kaon, which he did to a warm welcome from Megatron (and from none of his gladiators). By this point Megatron was planning to call his movement the Decepticons, and he had begun sending his followers on a search for artifacts of the Primes, as their discovery would be signs their cause was just. His followers began bombing Cybertron, and Megatron distanced himself from their extremism to gain credibility. Orion and his mentor [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] believed him, but the latter was well aware Megatron might have gained a taste for violence after the attention it earned him. Soon enough, Megatron accepted the gift of a kidnapped Sentinel Prime from [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFCcomicHalogendies.jpg|thumb|250px|]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alpha Trion organized a hearing for Orion and Megatron with the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. They protested involvement in Sentinel&#039;s disappearance. When confronted with the phrase &amp;quot;Decepticon&amp;quot;, Megatron denied any knowledge of it but accepted his followers&#039; term wholeheartedly, stating deception was necessary sometimes for the corrupt to see the truth. When [[Halogen (WFC)|Halogen]] revealed Megatron&#039;s followers had been trying to locate the [[Matrix of Leadership]], he declared that Orion should become the Prime that he desperately wanted to lead Cybertron into the new [[Golden Age]], and find it. Incensed, Megatron killed Halogen, and when Optimus prevented the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] from attacking Megatron, the ungrateful gladiator declared Optimus had fallen into the trap of power the High Council had given him. He declared Optimus was no longer his brother (though he would continue to refer to him as such privately), and that the Matrix would be his.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the subsequent war with Optimus&#039; [[Autobot]]s, the Decepticons took control of eighty-five percent of the planet. Wherever Starscream&#039;s [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] aided, they were victorious. Megatron was initially merciful to neutrals, but he let Shockwave take control of [[Tarn]] and torture Autobot sympathizers there. When the [[Praxus|Praxians]], a progressive city-state who were disappointed with the direction Megatron took, allied with the Autobots, Megatron decided he would no longer try to convert followers and launched the first genocide of the war, slaughtering all in [[Nova Cronum]] who would not submit to the Decepticons as they attacked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the war dragged into a siege of Iacon, Soundwave&#039;s spying bore fruit as he discovered [[Dark Energon]], the essence of [[Unicron]], was aboard [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. Megatron forgave Starscream for hiding its existence from him, acknowledging its potentially dangerous nature. To ensure loyalty, Megatron&#039;s gladiators stormed the Station slaughtering and maiming Starscream&#039;s scientists. He forced Starscream to pick two test subjects to be Darkened, and following an astonishingly successful result, Megatron absorbed some, invigorating him. Soon Darkened Decepticons appeared on the battlefield, but it proved to be an inefficient resource and they would have to flee if a battle was prolonged. Megatron needed more, and even Starscream&#039;s activation of the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] didn&#039;t provide enough. Megatron felt he would kill all the Decepticons before he was deprived of Dark Energon and turn rabid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fortunately, Soundwave revealed the existence of the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] within [[Teletraan-1]], which required the [[Code Key]]s of Power and Justice to activate it. Starscream recovered the Key of Power, while Megatron and his best soldiers searched for the Key of Justice below the [[High Council Tower]]. Sentinel Prime emerged, to Megatron&#039;s surprise. Sentinel confronted him about Bumper and Fastback, and the two dueled. Megatron disarmed and sliced open Sentinel, revealing the Key of Justice within. Starscream made a grab for it, exposing that he had released Sentinel to kill Megatron and take leadership for himself. After fighting Starscream to a standstill, Megatron pardoned him as he found him a better soldier than would-be example, and used the Keys to open Teletraan-1: which activated [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] to fly the Chamber to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Seekers shot Omega Supreme out of the air, causing him to crash. Optimus&#039;s Autobots arrived to fight the Decepticons, but the more they killed them the more Dark Energon left their bodies and empowered Megatron. He was able to knee Omega Supreme and turn him on his back, tearing the Chamber out of his chest. Using the Chamber, Megatron poisoned the [[core]] of Cybertron and Darkened the entire planet. But then the core stopped producing Dark Energon, and Megatron learnt Optimus had gone to the core and received the Matrix. As the Autobots attempted to flee Cybertron via the last [[space bridge]], Megatron used Trypticon to fire on their ships, and used his and Orion&#039;s old frequency to criticize Optimus for fleeing. He added he never believed in individual freedom for every Cybertronian, only the illusion of freedom that he as leader would provide and that the Guilds did not. Optimus responded that Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts and they would turn on him, and used the &#039;&#039;[[Eight Track (WFC)|Eight Track]]&#039;&#039; to board, sabotage and crash Trypticon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the Autobots left on the completed &#039;&#039;[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;, the Decepticons fully invaded Iacon. Megatron ordered Trypticon to transform into the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, boarding it with Starscream, Soundwave, [[Lugnut (WFC)|Lugnut]] and other elite soldiers, leaving Shockwave in charge. He used his old frequency once again to warn Optimus that he would hound him through the stars and finally kill him for the Matrix. He explained they were still brothers, as they were bonded for life despite their enmity. Optimus was just glad his hunt would get him off Cybertron. The two ships entered the last [[space bridge]] together, and when the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039; emerged, the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; was gone. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the waning years of the [[Golden Age]] of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatronus (who named himself after [[The Fallen|one of the original thirteen Primes]]) was a gladiator who fought in the [[Kaon]] arena and noticed there was a disparity in freedom among the classes of his race, and that the ruling class was corrupt and all-powerful.  In drawing attention to this inequity, he inspired a [[Hall of Records]] clerk named [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]], and the two joined forces to end corruption and bring equality to the masses. Soundwave also helped them. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}   Orion and Megatronus became close allies, almost like brothers.  But soon Megatronus&#039;s ideals would become corrupted, and the two would become bitter enemies. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DarknessRising2-Megsflashback.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Things were very red in those days.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatronus shortened his name to Megatron before he and Orion Pax appeared before the [[High Council]].  Shocking his colleague with his true intentions, Megatron stated that he would overthrow the High Council by force and instate himself as the next [[Prime (rank)|Prime]].  But it was Orion&#039;s speech that drew their attention.  Jealous, Megatron left the council and Orion behind and began his conquest and vowed to find the [[Matrix of Leadership]] which was denied to him by the council. At an unknown point in the war, Megatron created the [[Vehicon]] army to serve him, recruited Soundwave into his army. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}} and also recruited Starscream, the seeker&#039;s air commander as his second in command{{Storylink|Partners}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the war, Megatron took the city of [[Kaon]] which contained the very area he fought in as a gladiator and used it as a capitol, although completely unaware that the legendary [[Vector Sigma]] (a device that also contained the Matrix&#039;s power) was right below his feet. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilers|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1|March 17, 2012}}&lt;br /&gt;
In a battle at [[Tyger Pax]], Megatron captured Autobot Bumblebee and interrogated him for intel but the scout would not give in which provoked Megatron to crush in his voice box. However Autobot&#039;s invaded the location and saved the scout but the scout himself was left with out a proper voice. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war resulted in countless casualties and left the [[Core]] of Cybertron itself [[Dark Energon|poisoned]]. Although he was denied the [[Matrix of Leadership]] by the High Council, Megatron became obsessed with finding it, but Orion Pax was given it by the Core itself, and Orion became Optimus Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}} Eventually the war left Cybertron in ruin and forced the whole transformer race into exile into space. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}}{{Storylink|Exodus}} But Megatron would not leave the planet unguarded and placed a few [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]] guards in stasis on the planet should the enemy return. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the following years, Megatron and Optimus fought many a battle, such as the [[Battle of Technar]] where Megatron ordered [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] to assassinate Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} After his failure, Megatron came to believe only he should finally terminate Prime. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DarknessRising2-MegatronDarkEnergon.jpg|right|thumb|250px|We can relate.  We&#039;re just like this with our [[BotCon]] toys.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually Megatron and his army&#039;s arrived on Earth with Starscream, Soundwave, [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]], [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]], [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]] and [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] to search for Energon and powerful weapon&#039;s that found their was there during the war. However Megatron withdrew to space to search for more troops, leaving Starscream in charge. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} However before leaving, Megatron set up several mining sites with [[Decepticon Miner]]s to dig for Energon {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}. He had several Decepticon soldiers such as Skyquake in charge of deposits not yet ready for mining. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} Searching the void for three years, Megatron found something better than mere warriors: he discovered a new source of Dark Energon, the &amp;quot;blood of [[Unicron]]&amp;quot;, with which he could reanimate fallen Transformers as an army of the undead. Returning to Earth and resuming command of the Decepticons, Megatron tested the Dark Energon on the deceased Autobot [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]], reviving him as a [[zombie]] &amp;quot;[[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcon]]&amp;quot; that slaughtered several [[Decepticon Miner]]s, but which posed no threat to Megatron himself. Unfortunately for Megatron, this partial reactivation of Cliffjumper&#039;s lifesigns drew Optimus Prime&#039;s Autobots to the Decepticons&#039; mining operations. Deciding it was not yet time for a confrontation with Prime, Megatron withdrew aboard the [[Nemesis (Prime)|&#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;]], and continued to brood over the Dark Energon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:darknessrising3_Megatronglowy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Megatron, you fool! Rave glowsticks aren&#039;t candy!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron&#039;s inability to control the zombie Cliffjumper convinced him that he needed to integrate the Dark Energon into his own body in order to control the undead legions he planned to create. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}} Thrusting a shard of the material into his spark, he was filled with its power, feeling as thought he was connected to Unicron&#039;s very thoughts. Requiring a test run for his new power, Megatron headed for the site of an ancient Cybertronian battle on Earth, full of the remains of fallen warriors, where he was confronted by Optimus and [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]. Using Dark Energon to raise the dead Transformers as Terrorcons, Megatron successfully found he had complete control of the undead horde, and send them against the two Autobots. [[Image:DarknessRising4-Megatron.jpg|right|thumb|250px|I chew scenery while the zombies chew &#039;&#039;you&#039;&#039;.]] {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}  Optimus and Ratchet fought their way through the Terrorcons, only for Megatron to fly off before they could reach him, satisfied with his test results and ready put his plan into action—to open a [[space bridge]] to Cybertron and use Dark Energon to revive the entire planet&#039;s dead. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}} Despite the Autobots&#039; best efforts to damage the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; and prevent the bridge from opening, Megatron succeeded in his plans, and then had his showdown with Optimus Prime atop the bridge itself as he waited for the Terrorcon legions to pass through to Earth. While the two old foes battled, the other Autobots sabotaged the bridge, causing it to explode and destroy both the Terrorcon army, and seemingly, Megatron himself. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}[[Image:Masters&amp;amp;Students-Megatronstasis.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Well, it&#039;s better than just [[Megatron (Animated)|being a head]] I suppose.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots were not so lucky, however: the Dark Energon in his spark allowed Megatron to survive the explosion, but just barely. When Starscream found his leader floating in space, he tore the Dark Energon from his body in the hope that he would expire, but was caught in the act by [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]]&#039;s [[Deployer (Prime)|Deployer]], [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] and forced to take Megatron back to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, where he was placed in [[Stasis lock|stasis]] in the sick bay. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} Starscream was content to leave Megatron in this state to recover or expire as fate saw fit, but the crew of the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; disagreed, and voted to bring in the Decepticon medic [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] to help heal their wounded leader. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}} Even with Knock Out&#039;s expertise, it seemed unlikely that Megatron would recover, but his assistant [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] gave his body a good buffing nonetheless; Starscream approved, as it meant their ex-leader would look his best for the memorial service. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--[[Image:DarknessRising5-Megatronsword.jpg|left|thumb|250px|He has to be careful when he wipes.]]--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SickMind megs and bee.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Hey, [[Megatron (Animated)|you]] really &#039;&#039;are&#039;&#039; [[Transform and Roll Out|uglier from this angle]]!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Optimus Prime was infected by cybonic plague, Arcee and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] board the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; to search for an antidote. While they failed to find one in the database, the two Autobots did discover Megatron in stasis, and Bumblebee mind-linked with the Decepticon leader via [[cortical psychic patch]] to try and pluck the cure from his sleeping brain. Bumblebee found himself within Megatron&#039;s mind, which took the form of [[Kaon]], where the Decepticon&#039;s subconscious was spending its time killing endless visions of Optimus Primes; unfortunately, Bumblebee&#039;s intrusion only caused Megatron to become aware of his situation, when he found he was unable to kill Bumblebee. Learning what had befallen Optimus, Megatron initially refused to give up the cure until Bumblebee convinced him that he would gain greater satisfaction from finishing his enemy off with his own two hands. Megatron offered the cure in exchange for Bumblebee&#039;s help in escaping his mental prison, but Bumblebee double-crossed him, withdrawing from his mind as soon as the cure was in Autobot hands. At the last moment, Megatron was able to effect his own escape, leaping into Bumblebee&#039;s mind along with him. {{storylink|Sick Mind}} [[Image:OutofhisHead megatron revived.jpg|left|thumb|250px|IT&#039;S... AAALLLLLIIIIIIIIVE!]] Recalling the sliver of Dark Energon Starscream had removed from his body, Megatron took full control of Bumblebee&#039;s body a short time later and used the GroundBridge to return to the ancient battlefield where he had raised his original Terrorcons, recovering the Dark Energon shard he had used to do so. He returned to the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]], where he dealt with Ratchet and [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] before again GroundBridging to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; and using the Dark Energon to restore his body and return his mind to it. Storming out of the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; to find Starscream, Megatron snatched his subordinate out of the air in the middle of a battle with Optimus Prime and took him back for his punishment. {{storylink|Out of His Head}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Shadowzone-MegsStarscream.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Lulz.]]  Despite his treason, Megatron decided not to terminate Starscream, viewing him as no real threat and taking perverse amusement in his repeated failures. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}} Instead, Megatron proceeded to beat Starscream only to &#039;&#039;near&#039;&#039; death, then had him placed in the infirmary, occasionally visiting to gloat. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Breakdown was captured by the humans of [[MECH]], Megatron refuted Starscream&#039;s suggestion that they rescue him, announcing that if Breakdown had allowed himself to be captured by those weaker than him, then he deserved whatever he got. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}} Breakdown did manage to escape, however, insisted his wounded pride saw him volunteer to recover a [[polarity gauntlet]] for Megatron, in order to prove his worth. Megatron was disappointed when his minion returned without the gauntlet, but was placated with the revelation that he had instead brought back [[Airachnid]]. {{storylink|Metal Attraction}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RockBottom-Starscreamprays.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Definitely &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; [[Bruticus]], Starscream.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Discovering that Starscream was still attempting to mine energon for his personal use without his knowledge, Megatron determined that the amusement had come to an end. Taking him to the mine in question, Megatron revealed that he had been aware of Starscream&#039;s previous transgressions the whole time thanks to Soundwave, and was about to execute his grovelling lieutenant when [[Jack Darby]] and [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] walked in. In the firefight that followed, stray shots from Megatron&#039;s fusion cannon brought the mine down on top of them all, with Megatron being completely pinned by rubble. Jack happened upon the Decepticon leader with a mining drill, and Megatron, knowing that the human would not help him, instead urged Jack to finish him off. Jack refused, saying that wasn&#039;t what Optimus would do, and left, but the opening he had created allowed Megatron to begin his escape. After finally extricating himself, Megatron came upon Starscream trying to keep a large rock from crushing him. Starscream insisted that he had come to rescue Megatron, and begged the Decepticon leader to spare him, and Megatron acquiesced with a smirk. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Megatron allowed Starscream to live and continue as his second-in-command, he was furious to learn from Airachnid that Starscream had kept the location of the &#039;&#039;[[Harbinger]]&#039;&#039; from him. He ordered Starscream to lead Airachnid to the crash site and retrieve an [[Immobilizer|experimental weapon]] that was inside. Much to Megatron&#039;s fury, Airachnid returned not only without the weapon, but with the news that Starscream had been captured by the Autobots as well. {{storylink|Partners}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:StrongerFaster-KnockOutMegatronRatchet.jpg|right|250px|thumb|&amp;quot;Steroids?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Yup.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Ah.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
When a formula for [[Synthetic Energon]] was transferred from a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]] into the mind of the Autobot [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]], Optimus Prime petitioned Megatron for the return of the cylinder so they could extract the formula, after which they would willingly hand it over. Megatron briefly considered the proposal, but instead sent Knock Out and Breakdown to capture Bulkhead and dared Prime to fight for the cylinder. When his Vehicon troops were defeated, Megatron simply crushed the device and took flight. {{storylink|T.M.I.}} The synthetic energon formula helped the Autobots counter Megatron&#039;s next tactic: causing the Autobots to burn through their energon supplies at an accelerated rate by leading them on wild goose chases. Juiced up on the &amp;quot;SynthEn&amp;quot;, Ratchet attacked Megatron and Knock Out while they were surveying an energon mine, and sent the Decepticon leader flying with one punch. Unfortunately for Ratchet, Megatron swiftly recovered and subdued the Autobot medic with ease. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PrimeEp23-Megatronjetmode.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Hold still, jet mode, so we can screencap you, dammit!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Convinced by Dark Energon-induced visions that an impending prophecy detailed his own destiny, Megatron stepped up the Decepticons&#039; work in constructing a new space bridge so they could obtain more Dark Energon. When they located the last component they needed, Megatron went in personally, grievously wounding Raf with a blast of Dark Energon on the way and creating an unintended distraction that allowed him to make off with the power source he needed. Soon after, Megatron lured Optimus Prime to a volcano he had seen in his visions, and during their battle, it erupted with Dark Energon, imbuing Megatron with the power he needed to fell Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}}[[Image:OneShallFall-visionfulfilled.jpg|thumb|255px|right|Look, Prime! Look at the fireworks! Aren&#039;t they splendid?!]] The intervention of the other Autobots saved Prime&#039;s life, but this was of little concern to Megatron, who now had all the Dark Energon he needed and set his miners to work gathering it up. When Soundwave detected a spark-beat coming from within the Earth, Megatron felt it pounding through his brain and realized what his visions had meant: the lifeforce of Unicron himself dwelt within Earth. Leaving Airachnid in command, Megatron flew into the volcano to address Unicron, but received not the power he hoped the chaos-bringer would bestow on him, but instead Unicron&#039;s displeasure at the fact that Optimus Prime still lived. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spurned, Megatron instead went to the aid of Optimus and his Autobots, who were under attack from Unicron&#039;s stone avatars. He offered Optimus his services—he intended to lead them to Unicron&#039;s real form so that Optimus could use the [[Matrix of Leadership]] on the Chaos God. While the Autobots returned to base, Megatron kept the giant stone Unicrons busy, and Prime eventually accepted Megatron&#039;s offer. On arrival in the Autobot base, Megatron encountered a couple of humans he recognized, Raf and Jack, as well as a [[Miko Nakadai|new loud one]]. Megatron was first to step through the GroundBridge into the Earth&#039;s core, and as the Autobots followed, he warned them that Unicron already knew they were there. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:OneShallRise3-together.jpg|thumb|255px|left|&amp;quot;Just this once, we work together! Mortal enemies working together for the common good!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Be quiet!&amp;quot;]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the persistent influence of Unicron, Megatron led the Autobots through Unicron&#039;s insides, even helping them fight off [[Unicron&#039;s antibodies|antibodies]]. The Dark Energon he was imbued with allowed him to enter Unicron&#039;s spark chamber with Optimus, though at that point Unicron&#039;s influence became so great that the Chaos God was able to commandeer his body. After Optimus unleashed the power of the Matrix, apparently extinguishing Unicron&#039;s spark, Megatron went to kill Optimus, only to discover his foe had lost his memory and now believed himself to be Orion Pax. Megatron convinced Optimus that the other Autobots were enemies, and the pair returned to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, where Megatron introduced &amp;quot;Orion Pax&amp;quot; to his men. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron wasted no time in spinning a tale of Autobot warlord Ratchet and the destruction of Cybertron, and put Orion Pax to work decoding data from the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] archives for a [[Project Iacon|project]] of the same name. Though aware that at some point Orion would find out the truth, Megatron made all precautions to make sure that didn&#039;t happen before Orion finished his work. Knock Out was ordered to set up Orion&#039;s work station a mere few inches away from the Energon storage vault. Orion work on this project for the next 2 months. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During Orion&#039;s decoding, the archivist noted several references to Starscream as being Megatron&#039;s second in command. As part of his deception, Megatron claimed Starscream to be dead. order Soundwave to carefully remove Arcee from the ship with a GroundBridge. Arachnid offered to destroy the bike bot herself but Megatron feared that Orion would become weary of their activity&#039;s should he bare witness to an Autobot&#039;s destruction.{{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron attempted to cover for a surprise visit by Starscream when he managed to sneak aboard the ship. Orion asked why Megatron lied, but the con leader stated that Starscream as &amp;quot;dead&amp;quot; to their cause for joining the Autobots. However, Starscream&#039;s visit caused Orion to uncover the truth and find out that he was infact Optimus Prime, the so called leader of the Autobot &amp;quot;invaders&amp;quot;. Soundwave notified Megatron of Orion finding information on Optimus Prime and Megatron realized that harsher methods would be necessary to complete [[Project Iacon]]. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron payed Orion a visit to expose Orion&#039;s findings. Orion demanded to know the full truth but Megatron refused, this caused Orion to delete his findings. However Soundwave had in fact recorded his finding&#039;s and the data was saved who informed Megatron of activity at the space bridge and went there to find the Autobots had taken control of it. Also one of their [[Insecticon (Prime)|traps]] on Cybertron was activated. Megatron ordered the guards to watch Orion while he went out and threaded to kill the archivist if he had not completed the project if he did not complete it. Megatron realized that the Autobot&#039;s must of been searching for a way to restore Orion to Optimus. He arrived to the space bridge and defeated the trio who were there, and waited for Arcee to return through the open space bridge with the expected Matrix. However in the meantime Orion had overpowered his guards and came to attack Megatron. Orion declared his loyalty to the Autobot&#039;s, pulled out his blades (one of which was &#039;&#039;still&#039;&#039; broken) and attacked Megatron but was no match for him, but while the Decepticon leader was subsequently kept busy by Arcee, Jack returned the Matrix to Orion, who regained his memory and left with the Autobots, leaving Megatron screaming furiously at his failure. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilers|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1|March 17, 2012}}&lt;br /&gt;
Following the first of the coordinates left by Orion, Megatron and his men unearthed the [[spark extractor|Spark Extractor]]. Unfortunately while Megatron was taking it back through the GroundBridge, it was taken from him by Bumblebee. He was &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; unhappy and began to regret only taking to scouts vocal processor and not his life but Soundwave reminded him of the other two sets of coordinates with weapons. He then ordered Knock Out and Breakdown to retrieve another artifact before Bulkhead and Bumblebee did. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;

During the early war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatron found reference to an energy source called [[Dark Energon]], which had impressive potential as a weapon, and became determined to claim it for himself. One of the few places it was made was in a station in orbit around Cybertron, guarded by a politically neutral force led by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. With this knowledge, he took a ship and launched an assault on the station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship was badly damaged in the attack, and so he ordered [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]] and [[Brawl (WFC)| Brawl]], piloting it, to ram the station.  He and many of his soldiers survived the impact and escaped the core&#039;s detonation. They were then confronted by Starscream, who informed them that they would not allow them to take what he had guarded for ten thousand years.  After surviving a trap of sentry guns, Megatron, Barricade, and Brawl were reinforced by more of Megatron&#039;s troops, and set out on their way to find the station&#039;s Dark Energon stores and claim them for the war effort.  They encountered significant resistance, but managed to shoot their way through, with directional aid from [[Soundwave (Prime)| Soundwave]].  Barricade noted that the station itself seemed quite primitive; Megatron noted it was very old, and that he intended to modernize it...  At one point, the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] confronted Megatron nonviolently, asking him to give up his quest, as Dark Energon would result in only horror, death, and destruction, to which Megatron sneered, &amp;quot;You say that as if it were a bad thing.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC-MegatronmeetsStarscream.jpg|left|thumb|300px|At last we meet, my punching bag.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along their way to the Dark Energon, they found that a large portion of the station had been blasted clean off, the debris field traversable but sparse enough to allow easy viewing of Cybertron itself. Soundwave soon found records indicating that a small amount of Dark Energon lost containment and was the sole cause of the destruction, underscoring Megatron&#039;s desire for it.  When Barricade asked how he expected to control it when no other had, Megatron said that such power was only for the strong, that he was the strongest, and not to question him again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When they finally reached the storage chamber, and Megatron averted Starscream&#039;s destruction of it, he calmly entered into a container full of raw Dark Energon, while Starscream watched and gloated at his imminent destruction...only for him to walk out, not only unscathed, but crackling with power, which he further bestowed upon Barricade and Brawl. A single blast of Dark Energon was enough to destroy an entire company of station security forces, the last line of defense between Megatron and Starscream and his companions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jetfire again tried to warn Megatron about the dangers of Dark Energon, but Starscream interrupted, asking to join the Decepticon leader. Megatron asked what Starscream could offer that he could not simply take. Starscream revealed the station&#039;s supply of Dark Energon was almost spent, and he knew how to manufacture more—and as luck would have it, there was a dormant [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] which could be used to power it. Jetfire retreated to inform [[Sentinel Zeta Prime| Zeta Prime]]; Megatron let him go, seeming pleased by the notion of letting the Autobots tremble in advance of their actions, and sent Starscream, [[Thundercracker (WFC)| Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (WFC)| Skywarp]] to activate the bridge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron repeatedly mocked what he perceived as Starscream&#039;s slowness in his simple mission, but the Seeker did what he said he could.  With a steady supply of Dark Energon, Megatron launched an attack on Iacon City, intending to take a device called the [[Omega Key]] and use it to enter the Core of Cybertron. This time, he took [[Breakdown (Prime)| Breakdown]] and Soundwave with him. The trio took the less-guarded way in—which, since the Autobots were not complete fools (as even Megatron would admit), still had significant military presence. During the attack, Starscream noted that Dark Energon was proving every bit as potent as Megatron had promised. Breakdown let Megatron know of his misgivings about the Sky Commander; Megatron admitted he was treacherous and untrustworthy, but he had useful talents, and his cunning and ambition was intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Omega Key had been taken from its normal resting place, however, by Autobot leader Zeta Prime, and so Megatron took his squad on an assault on Zeta&#039;s headquarters.  They met Brawl, leading an attack on the doors to Zeta Prime&#039;s armory, along the way.  Even Megatron&#039;s touch of Dark Energon could not breach the vault doors, however, and so he called in [[Dark Energon Bombers]]. When they were shot down, Brawl suggested they take out the Autobots&#039; air defense guns, after which bombers were called in again; Megatron&#039;s troops then held off a massive assault from what seemed like the entire Autobot army while waiting for the bombing run to finally arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC Megatron Vs ZetaPrime.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Zeta Prime, you might be more egotistical than me. I mean really, a huge holographic version of you and smaller holograms doing what you can&#039;t do without your pointy stick thing?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the vault doors were breached, they reached Zeta Prime himself, who had constructed several layers of security while he waited.  An invincible energy field protected him, while he could drop portions of the ceiling with pistons to crush anything beneath them, and construct endless holographic clones of himself outfitted for melee combat, which Megatron personally found nauseating.  However, his defenses were not without flaw: periodically, the power core would need to disperse waste heat, and Megatron&#039;s team survived long enough to destroy it during this stage.  Zeta fell, buried under the wreckage of his own defenses, and Megatron took the device he&#039;d carried...which started to make electronic chirping noises.  Zeta, with black humor, noted that the device was not the Omega Key.  It merely &#039;&#039;activated&#039;&#039; the Key, which would come to them... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Searching for the Key in the skies aboard another ship, Megatron, with Soundwave and Breakdown at the controls, were abruptly confronted by a massive ship, [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]], who knocked them out of the sky, causing them to crash back in Iacon. There, they played a cat-and-mouse campaign in a desperate attempt to survive the enormous Autobot&#039;s vast firepower, though Soundwave noted that the weaponry they bore had little chance of penetrating Omega Supreme&#039;s armor.  Megatron, for his part, at least contrived to appear unafraid, claiming that if it came to a real fight, the brute wouldn&#039;t stand a chance against Megatron&#039;s intellect.  However, Omega&#039;s attacks drove them underground and left them unable to immediately transmit counter to Starscream, who declared Megatron dead and announced he was taking control.  Even when they re-established contact, Starscream&#039;s aerial forces only briefly distracted Omega, who dispensed large numbers of troops, sucked up Decepticons with a tractor beam, fired weapons of mass destruction, and mined the roads Megatron and his squad were using.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave, however, had come up with a suggestion—there were weapons emplacements higher up that had the ability to damage Omega Supreme.  Taking them from the Autobots was a battle in and of itself, but nothing compared to the fight against Omega Supreme, who could unload entire squadrons of Aerialbots.  Nonetheless, Megatron&#039;s boldness and tactical acumen finally shot Omega Supreme out of the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC-hearmynameandtremble.jpg|left|thumb|300px|I stand on your crotch!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloating, Megatron found that the behemoth was still not defeated, and indeed was drawing power from Cybertron itself to repair his systems, making him stronger, if anything.  However, by corrupting the energon batteries with which he was using to feed himself with Dark Energon charges, they were able to weaken him to the point where they could finally blast away his last defenses and brought him to heel.  With Omega Supreme defeated, Megatron went underground, directly to the Core, and corrupted it with a massive infusion of Dark Energon, finally bringing Cybertron itself more completely under his control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, Megatron was clearly convinced, and for good reason, that he&#039;d won, making propaganda broadcasts extolling his greatness and how he had taken away the Autobots&#039; burdens of &amp;quot;liberty&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;choice&amp;quot;.  When Starscream was defeated and the Decagon retaken, however, he realized the Autobots were not yet going to roll over for him, and sent a distress signal from Zeta Prime, whom he had kept alive in the Kaon prison camp, in order to provoke a rescue attempt from the Autobots.  His old acquaintance Optimus took the bait, and Megatron confronted him, telling him that the war could be over tomorrow if Optimus took the Autobots and left.  Optimus refused, so Megatron consigned him and his team to the prisons.  When they managed to stage a mass breakout, an enraged Megatron ordered his troops to prevent their escape at any cost, to the point of tearing apart portions of Kaon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was not enough, however, and they escaped, journeying to the Core, where they kickstarted the cleansing of Megatron&#039;s corruption.  Doing so, however, would take the Core millions of years of shutdown, rendering Cybertron uninhabitable.  Whether Megatron knew this or not, when he saw the Autobots leaving after Optimus&#039;s refusal of his earlier offer, he apparently took offense.  His earlier plans of renovating Starscream&#039;s station had come to fruition; now, it mounted a powerful superweapon, capable of destroying entire structures in one shot.  He had it fire upon the Autobot transports as they left.  When a team of Aerialbots attempted to disable or destroy it, he called Jetfire, now one of them, and taunted him about his past.  He further mocked them when they destroyed the plasma coolant system without apparently having accounted for backups.  Finally, during the attack he came into possession of information on Optimus Prime&#039;s location, and ordered Trypticon—the name of the weapon, for it was actually a Cybertronian—to fire upon it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trypticon, however, was forced into his natural form and defeated after he crash-landed on Cybertron.  Megatron&#039;s reaction to this went unrecorded. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Transformers: War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; (DS)===&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron was the Decepticon Leader during the final days of the Great War. After capturing an Autobot facility, and killing a cadet, Megatron revealed his plan to his troops. Megatron intended to conquer Trypticon Space Station, which had the means and power to manufacture Dark Energon: a variant of Energon which greatly increased the stamina and strength of its host. Megatron fought his way through the station to its commander, the Autobot Starscream. Upon Starscream&#039;s defeat, Starscream offered his services and the Dark Energon if he was spared. Megatron agreed, and Starscream joined the Decepticons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a test run of the Dark Energon in Kaon Prison, Soundwave deduced the element would only kill the host, but Starscream was able to find a way to fix it. Megatron then decided the time was right, and led his army to the inner levels of Cybertron. He was able to activate the uplink to channel energy from the Core of Cybertron itself to Trypticon Station, but he needed the Omega Key to access it once it was shut down with a firewall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFCDS Defeat Omega Supreme.jpg|thumb|left|256px|Simple enough... OH GOD BULLETS.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron learned through a recording from Laserbeak that Autobot Leader Zeta Prime had the Omega Key in his possession and had holed up deep within Iacon. Megatron led a full-scale assault on the city, totally devastating Iacon, until he found Zeta Prime at last. After a hard battle, Zeta fell, and Megatron obtained the Omega Key. However, immediately upon taking it, alarms went off, and Iacon itself was shaking. Zeta Prime, despite being mortally wounded, laughed at Megatron&#039;s face, saying the Omega Key was only the key to the &#039;&#039;true&#039;&#039; key: the city-sized Autobot Omega Supreme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Omega immediately attacked the victorious Decepticons, and quickly decimated their presence in Iacon, save for Megatron&#039;s team and a few others. By this point, Megatron was absolutely furious at Starscream: Megatron declared it was he who led them to Omega Supreme and the devastating onslaught he carried out. Starscream bitterly retorted even if Megatron killed him, Omega Supreme would still be out for his blood, helping nothing whatsoever. Megatron angrily let it go for the time being, and led his army to battle. His troops&#039; confidence beginning to falter, Megatron declared they would either be kicking themselves for not acting for the rest of their lives, or heroes in a historic event. His men followed him to battle Omega, and the titan fell. Megatron was free to corrupt the Core of Cybertron with Dark Energon, and obtain near-supremacy of Cybertron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That kind of went downhill when the new Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, extinguished the Dark Energon and destroyed Trypticon Space Station, didn&#039;t it?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Early in the war, when the Autobots learned of the existence of the orbiting superweapon [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]], Megatron sent waves of Decepticon forces to keep them from discovering more about it. Megatron, happy to see the destruction Trypticon was creating, ordered Starscream and Skywarp at gunpoint to return to Trypticon and clean up after it, while he took his troops into battle to scour the area for Autobots to kill. Few Autobots other than the medic, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]], were spared Megatron&#039;s initial assault.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron found out that Starscream had left his post at Trypticon, Megatron grew angry. But the Autobots had infiltrated the [[Datacore]], so Megatron focused his efforts there instead. Bumblebee was captured, and information useful for the taking of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] was pulled from his mind. Megatron assigned Skywarp the task of the initial Iacon assault. The traitorous Starscream returned to Megatron&#039;s focus, and the Air Commander was ordered to infiltrate the Core of Cybertron to reactivate the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]]. But Starscream took too long, discovering Megatron had already reached the Core by the time he arrived. In a foul mood, Megatron would test Starscream&#039;s loyalty by putting him on the Iacon assault&#039;s front lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The assault went as planned, and Iacon crumbled. As Barricade and Starscream reached an empty Council Chamber, Megatro alerted them to the evacuation of the surviving Autobots. Three Autobot ships positioned themselves to escape, and so Megatron ordered Thundercracker and Skywarp to take them down.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Iacon fell, the Trypticon orbiting superweapon was destroyed by the Autobots... but not before Megatron ripped the datacore from its brain so as to salvage its information on Dark Energon. Megatron was pleased. Despite his loss, he still had the upper hand. {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Cybertronian Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: clear purple missile, fusion cannon&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy is based on Megatron&#039;s appearance in the video game &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, transforming into a Cybertronian self-propelled gun.  The treads of his vehicle can be positioned in either a vertical configuration like a traditional tank or in a horizontal, hovertank configuration.  Megatron&#039;s spring-loaded cannon can attach to either arm. He also has an insignia on his back, but unlike Optimus, his is not hidden by kibble.  Like [[Soundwave (Prime)|&#039;&#039;War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; Soundwave]], his head has a light-piping gimmick that has been neutered by his painted eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Some units of the figure have Megatron&#039;s left internal shoulder strut misassembled, preventing that side of the tank-mode from becoming properly flush to the body when transforming. This can be corrected by unscrewing and separating the outer shoulder structure, flipping the strut 180 degrees, and reassembling the shoulder covering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Also, the packaging image for his tank mode is flipped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was [[redeco]]ed into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers United|United]]&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (G1)/toys#United|Megatron Cybertron Mode]] and [[Darkside Megatron]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime vs Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (First Edition 5 figure gift set, 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: [[Fusion cannon]]&lt;br /&gt;
: This Deluxe-Class version of Megatron transforms into his alien ship mode. He comes with his Fusion Cannon, which can either be held with his hands in robot mode, or peg onto his jet mode by folding the handle in and pegging it behind his exposed, peeking head. It is also in this latter configuration for the cannon that the otherwise useless groove and tab on the cannon and its handle can be pegged onto the tab and otherwise useless socket on his right arm, giving him the classic, arm-mounted, yet &#039;&#039;strangely undocumented&#039;&#039; Fusion Cannon configuration shown in his [[stock photography]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Speaking of undocumented features, his [[instructions]] show a noticeably different &amp;quot;completed&amp;quot; vehicle mode when compared to his stock photos. Specifically, the instructions completely neglect the extra steps to flip his wings out and form a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] vehicle mode, opting instead for a more slender, wingless vehicle mode. To achieve this undocumented form, his underside leg panels must be opened, flipped around and over to the top of the ship, be pegged onto a tab on the side of his intakes, and his pointy wingtips must be flipped out from underneath. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also has some clearance issues when transforming. His intakes and the panel that surrounds his head in vehicle mode tend to collide when the intakes are snugly angled into and out of the panel, often resulting in the intakes popping off the (detachable) plastic hinges that they&#039;re on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also comes somewhat mis-transformed in the package, with the positions of the intakes and the panel on his back being switched around, with the panel being placed &#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039; the intakes, instead of &#039;&#039;before&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He comes with a similarly-scaled [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] and PVC figurines of [[Miko Nakadai]], [[Jack Darby]] and [[Raf Esquivel]], as well as a DVD of the &amp;quot;Series Premiere&amp;quot; episode &amp;quot;[[Masters &amp;amp; Students]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Cannon&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Combat Claw&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
: Like the Cyberverse version, this Megatron has a fair amount of translucent purple plastic in the torso and forearms, and a similar general design to his other &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; toys of the line in both modes, although the plastic is a little more matte than in the stock photo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with two weapons; the arm cannon is a MechTech-like weapon, where pushing a plunger at the back swings two blades out from either side and pushes a third one forward, combining to make a larger one below the cannon&#039;s mouth. At the same time, a red LED swings out and activates, shining through the plastic blades. The cannon can be mounted on either arm, either in the classic elbow port or from one on the wrist, and the blade can be locked in place by manually swinging the blades out while holding the plunger back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also comes with a combat claw, which mounts on the wrist point on either hand and has a piece which rests in the hand to appear more as if it&#039;s being held. The claw can also be mounted in front of the cannon, which does not interfere with the cannon&#039;s blade gimmick. Both weapons can also be stored on the back when not in use, and it is possible to trigger the cannon&#039;s LED gimmick and lock it on while on the back without unfolding the blade much, resulting in the LED shining through and making the inner chest glow red.&lt;br /&gt;

:The [[stock photo]] to the right has his vehicle mode mis-transformed.

:Cast in translucent dark green plastic, &amp;quot;Super Bot&amp;quot; Megatron is a new figure using a mix of Bot Shots Optimus, tank Megatron, and all new &amp;quot;trailer&amp;quot;, robot chest, and grill parts.  It transforms into a semi-truck with trailer, taking inspiration from the &#039;&#039;[[Kre-O]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; Megatrons. Like the rest of the line, it has a spring-loaded transformation and a spinning stat dial in its chest. As a Super Bot, it was packed one per case and had higher stats than an average Bot Shot figure.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Tfprimemegatronjet.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Too fast for screen caps.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*As revealed in Transformers:Prime, Megatron used to have blue optics.&lt;br /&gt;
*Megatron&#039;s designation as an energon miner was &amp;quot;D-16&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=7fd5ecd9-19b9-f369-1041-a7635be83172 War for Cybertron timeline].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Megatron&#039;s original [[Japanese ID number list|Japanese ID number]] was &amp;quot;16&amp;quot;. Takara would eventually change the numbering system using a &amp;quot;D&amp;quot; to denote [[Decepticon|Destrons]]. So Megatron&#039;s Japanese ID number could retroactively be considered &amp;quot;D-16&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*In &#039;&#039;Transformers: War for Cybertron&#039;&#039;, Megatron has multiple glitches when controlled by the computer, among them shrinking (quite hilariously), losing his Fusion Cannon, and having his Tank mode cannon stick straight up (also humorous). He may be the most glitchy character in the game.&lt;br /&gt;
*Optimus Prime&#039;s recollections in &#039;&#039;Darkness Rising&#039;&#039; have him and Megatron fighting side-by-side at the start of the Great War. This is the first time a Megatron has been involved in a Great War that he &#039;&#039;didn&#039;t&#039;&#039; start, never mind one where he used to be a goodie.&lt;br /&gt;
*The show design of this version of Megatron takes visual cues from both G1 (the ever-famous [[Megatron (G1)| buckethead]] and lower legs resembling a pistol&#039;s handgrip) and [[Megatron (Movie)|the Movie version]] of the Decepticon leader (the sharp angles and bits on his shoulders, along with two-toed feet and a demonic-looking face with sharp teeth), even including the jet mode the latter version appeared in.&lt;br /&gt;
*The &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; staff used the same rationale that Megatron would not scan an Earth mode out of disgust at humans.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/botcon-2010-transformers-prime-panel-coverage-170054/ BotCon 2010 Transformers Prime Panel Coverage]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; According to Cybertronian Megatron&#039;s packaging bio, Megatron often changes his altmode, probably in an attempt to explain why he&#039;s a tank in the game and a jet in the cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;
*At a video shown at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, Welker explained his &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; voice for Megatron would be mostly toned down from his Generation 1 counterpart, to give the character more range.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/san-diego-comic-con-33/transformers-prime---peter-cullen--frank-welker-behind-the-scenes-170264/ Transformers Prime - Peter Cullen &amp;amp; Frank Welker Behind the Scenes] TFW2005&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When the show aired, Megatron indeed had a more quiet, sinister version of his voice than the iconic shouty one.&lt;br /&gt;

{{disambig3|Megatron}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Megatron is the [[Decepticon]] leader from the [[Aligned continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PrimeMegatron.jpg|thumb|400px|Lord of the [[Dark Energon]] wraiths.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The awesomely powerful &#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; is, in many ways, a fallen hero. He rose up from the oppressed lower working castes of [[Kaon]] to become a champion in the region&#039;s illegal [[gladiatorial combat|deathmatches]], cast aside his designation of &#039;&#039;&#039;D-16&#039;&#039;&#039; and took the legendary name &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Fallen|Megatronus]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Megatron was an abbreviation, so it&#039;d be easier for the masses to chant his name; &#039;&#039;Transformers: Exodus&#039;&#039;, Chapter 3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as his own, he called for an end to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]&#039;s decrepit [[caste system]] and told the downtrodden that freedom of self-determination was the right of all sentient beings!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But absolute power corrupts absolutely, and Megatron&#039;s Decepticon revolution, like many such movements, ended up becoming a whole new tyranny. Powerful, charismatic, violent, and full of rage for any who would stand in the way of his ambition and drive, Megatron brought Cybertron &#039;&#039;past&#039;&#039; the brink of destruction. Now he and his former brother-in-arms [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] fight on other worlds.  Megatron will never forgive Optimus for &amp;quot;betraying&amp;quot; him, stealing from the Council the rank of Prime which was rightfully his.  He has reserved for his old friend the greatest honor possible: glorious death at his hands.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron has been gone for three years, but now he&#039;s returned. He&#039;s brought the monstrous [[Dark Energon]] to Earth, and quite possibly left his sanity in space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Aligned novels===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFCcomicD16.jpg|thumb|left|250px|&amp;quot;Alright! What&#039;s the square root of pi?! What&#039;s the capital of Sierre Leone?! What&#039;s... awww, this &#039;ask questions later&#039; thing doesn&#039;t work at &#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039;.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron nicknamed himself D-16 after the sector of the mine where he performed demolition operations. As a gladiator, in killing others he began to appreciate the value of life, and in between matches he became something of an intellectual, debating the castes with other miners. After bosses requested he lose a few fights, D-16 killed them and took over Kaon and [[Slaughter City]]. After murdering one boss in front of his employees, D-16 declared himself Megatronus, whom he considered the greatest of the [[Thirteen]]. After hearing his preaching on the [[Communication Grid]] against the [[Guilds of Cybertron]], the concerned [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] sent [[Bumper (WFC)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (WFC)|Fastback]] to investigate. Megatronus killed them, believing two lives were worthless compared to the millions doomed by the castes Sentinel created. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a victorious battle with the [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]]s, in which the crowd redubbed him Megatron, the gladiator was contacted by the [[Iacon (polity)|Iaconian]] [[Hall of Records|records monitor]] [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]], and they began exchanging their ideas in intense but friendly philosophical discussions. Megatron encouraged Orion to learn self defense and invited him to visit Kaon, which he did to a warm welcome from Megatron (and from none of his gladiators). By this point Megatron was planning to call his movement the Decepticons, and he had begun sending his followers on a search for artifacts of the Primes, as their discovery would be signs their cause was just. His followers began bombing Cybertron, and Megatron distanced himself from their extremism to gain credibility. Orion and his mentor [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] believed him, but the latter was well aware Megatron might have gained a taste for violence after the attention it earned him. Soon enough, Megatron accepted the gift of a kidnapped Sentinel Prime from [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFCcomicHalogendies.jpg|thumb|250px|]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alpha Trion organized a hearing for Orion and Megatron with the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. They protested involvement in Sentinel&#039;s disappearance. When confronted with the phrase &amp;quot;Decepticon&amp;quot;, Megatron denied any knowledge of it but accepted his followers&#039; term wholeheartedly, stating deception was necessary sometimes for the corrupt to see the truth. When [[Halogen (WFC)|Halogen]] revealed Megatron&#039;s followers had been trying to locate the [[Matrix of Leadership]], he declared that Orion should become the Prime that he desperately wanted to lead Cybertron into the new [[Golden Age]], and find it. Incensed, Megatron killed Halogen, and when Optimus prevented the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] from attacking Megatron, the ungrateful gladiator declared Optimus had fallen into the trap of power the High Council had given him. He declared Optimus was no longer his brother (though he would continue to refer to him as such privately), and that the Matrix would be his.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the subsequent war with Optimus&#039; [[Autobot]]s, the Decepticons took control of eighty-five percent of the planet. Wherever Starscream&#039;s [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] aided, they were victorious. Megatron was initially merciful to neutrals, but he let Shockwave take control of [[Tarn]] and torture Autobot sympathizers there. When the [[Praxus|Praxians]], a progressive city-state who were disappointed with the direction Megatron took, allied with the Autobots, Megatron decided he would no longer try to convert followers and launched the first genocide of the war, slaughtering all in [[Nova Cronum]] who would not submit to the Decepticons as they attacked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the war dragged into a siege of Iacon, Soundwave&#039;s spying bore fruit as he discovered [[Dark Energon]], the essence of [[Unicron]], was aboard [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. Megatron forgave Starscream for hiding its existence from him, acknowledging its potentially dangerous nature. To ensure loyalty, Megatron&#039;s gladiators stormed the Station slaughtering and maiming Starscream&#039;s scientists. He forced Starscream to pick two test subjects to be Darkened, and following an astonishingly successful result, Megatron absorbed some, invigorating him. Soon Darkened Decepticons appeared on the battlefield, but it proved to be an inefficient resource and they would have to flee if a battle was prolonged. Megatron needed more, and even Starscream&#039;s activation of the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] didn&#039;t provide enough. Megatron felt he would kill all the Decepticons before he was deprived of Dark Energon and turn rabid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fortunately, Soundwave revealed the existence of the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] within [[Teletraan-1]], which required the [[Code Key]]s of Power and Justice to activate it. Starscream recovered the Key of Power, while Megatron and his best soldiers searched for the Key of Justice below the [[High Council Tower]]. Sentinel Prime emerged, to Megatron&#039;s surprise. Sentinel confronted him about Bumper and Fastback, and the two dueled. Megatron disarmed and sliced open Sentinel, revealing the Key of Justice within. Starscream made a grab for it, exposing that he had released Sentinel to kill Megatron and take leadership for himself. After fighting Starscream to a standstill, Megatron pardoned him as he found him a better soldier than would-be example, and used the Keys to open Teletraan-1: which activated [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] to fly the Chamber to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Seekers shot Omega Supreme out of the air, causing him to crash. Optimus&#039;s Autobots arrived to fight the Decepticons, but the more they killed them the more Dark Energon left their bodies and empowered Megatron. He was able to knee Omega Supreme and turn him on his back, tearing the Chamber out of his chest. Using the Chamber, Megatron poisoned the [[core]] of Cybertron and Darkened the entire planet. But then the core stopped producing Dark Energon, and Megatron learnt Optimus had gone to the core and received the Matrix. As the Autobots attempted to flee Cybertron via the last [[space bridge]], Megatron used Trypticon to fire on their ships, and used his and Orion&#039;s old frequency to criticize Optimus for fleeing. He added he never believed in individual freedom for every Cybertronian, only the illusion of freedom that he as leader would provide and that the Guilds did not. Optimus responded that Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts and they would turn on him, and used the &#039;&#039;[[Eight Track (WFC)|Eight Track]]&#039;&#039; to board, sabotage and crash Trypticon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the Autobots left on the completed &#039;&#039;[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;, the Decepticons fully invaded Iacon. Megatron ordered Trypticon to transform into the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, boarding it with Starscream, Soundwave, [[Lugnut (WFC)|Lugnut]] and other elite soldiers, leaving Shockwave in charge. He used his old frequency once again to warn Optimus that he would hound him through the stars and finally kill him for the Matrix. He explained they were still brothers, as they were bonded for life despite their enmity. Optimus was just glad his hunt would get him off Cybertron. The two ships entered the last [[space bridge]] together, and when the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039; emerged, the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; was gone. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the waning years of the [[Golden Age]] of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatronus (who named himself after [[The Fallen|one of the original thirteen Primes]]) was a gladiator who fought in the [[Kaon]] arena and noticed there was a disparity in freedom among the classes of his race, and that the ruling class was corrupt and all-powerful.  In drawing attention to this inequity, he inspired a [[Hall of Records]] clerk named [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]], and the two joined forces to end corruption and bring equality to the masses. Soundwave also helped them. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}   Orion and Megatronus became close allies, almost like brothers.  But soon Megatronus&#039;s ideals would become corrupted, and the two would become bitter enemies. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DarknessRising2-Megsflashback.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Things were very red in those days.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatronus shortened his name to Megatron before he and Orion Pax appeared before the [[High Council]].  Shocking his colleague with his true intentions, Megatron stated that he would overthrow the High Council by force and instate himself as the next [[Prime (rank)|Prime]].  But it was Orion&#039;s speech that drew their attention.  Jealous, Megatron left the council and Orion behind and began his conquest and vowed to find the [[Matrix of Leadership]] which was denied to him by the council. At an unknown point in the war, Megatron created the [[Vehicon]] army to serve him, recruited Soundwave into his army. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}} and also recruited Starscream, the seeker&#039;s air commander as his second in command{{Storylink|Partners}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the war, Megatron took the city of [[Kaon]] which contained the very area he fought in as a gladiator and used it as a capitol, although completely unaware that the legendary [[Vector Sigma]] (a device that also contained the Matrix&#039;s power) was right below his feet. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilers|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1|March 17, 2012}}&lt;br /&gt;
In a battle at [[Tyger Pax]], Megatron captured Autobot Bumblebee and interrogated him for intel but the scout would not give in which provoked Megatron to crush in his voice box. However Autobot&#039;s invaded the location and saved the scout but the scout himself was left with out a proper voice. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war resulted in countless casualties and left the [[Core]] of Cybertron itself [[Dark Energon|poisoned]]. Although he was denied the [[Matrix of Leadership]] by the High Council, Megatron became obsessed with finding it, but Orion Pax was given it by the Core itself, and Orion became Optimus Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}} Eventually the war left Cybertron in ruin and forced the whole transformer race into exile into space. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}}{{Storylink|Exodus}} But Megatron would not leave the planet unguarded and placed a few [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]] guards in stasis on the planet should the enemy return. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the following years, Megatron and Optimus fought many a battle, such as the [[Battle of Technar]] where Megatron ordered [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] to assassinate Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} After his failure, Megatron came to believe only he should finally terminate Prime. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DarknessRising2-MegatronDarkEnergon.jpg|right|thumb|250px|We can relate.  We&#039;re just like this with our [[BotCon]] toys.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually Megatron and his army&#039;s arrived on Earth with Starscream, Soundwave, [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]], [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]], [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]] and [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] to search for Energon and powerful weapon&#039;s that found their was there during the war. However Megatron withdrew to space to search for more troops, leaving Starscream in charge. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} However before leaving, Megatron set up several mining sites with [[Decepticon Miner]]s to dig for Energon {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}. He had several Decepticon soldiers such as Skyquake in charge of deposits not yet ready for mining. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} Searching the void for three years, Megatron found something better than mere warriors: he discovered a new source of Dark Energon, the &amp;quot;blood of [[Unicron]]&amp;quot;, with which he could reanimate fallen Transformers as an army of the undead. Returning to Earth and resuming command of the Decepticons, Megatron tested the Dark Energon on the deceased Autobot [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]], reviving him as a [[zombie]] &amp;quot;[[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcon]]&amp;quot; that slaughtered several [[Decepticon Miner]]s, but which posed no threat to Megatron himself. Unfortunately for Megatron, this partial reactivation of Cliffjumper&#039;s lifesigns drew Optimus Prime&#039;s Autobots to the Decepticons&#039; mining operations. Deciding it was not yet time for a confrontation with Prime, Megatron withdrew aboard the [[Nemesis (Prime)|&#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;]], and continued to brood over the Dark Energon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:darknessrising3_Megatronglowy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Megatron, you fool! Rave glowsticks aren&#039;t candy!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron&#039;s inability to control the zombie Cliffjumper convinced him that he needed to integrate the Dark Energon into his own body in order to control the undead legions he planned to create. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}} Thrusting a shard of the material into his spark, he was filled with its power, feeling as thought he was connected to Unicron&#039;s very thoughts. Requiring a test run for his new power, Megatron headed for the site of an ancient Cybertronian battle on Earth, full of the remains of fallen warriors, where he was confronted by Optimus and [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]. Using Dark Energon to raise the dead Transformers as Terrorcons, Megatron successfully found he had complete control of the undead horde, and send them against the two Autobots. [[Image:DarknessRising4-Megatron.jpg|right|thumb|250px|I chew scenery while the zombies chew &#039;&#039;you&#039;&#039;.]] {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}  Optimus and Ratchet fought their way through the Terrorcons, only for Megatron to fly off before they could reach him, satisfied with his test results and ready put his plan into action—to open a [[space bridge]] to Cybertron and use Dark Energon to revive the entire planet&#039;s dead. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}} Despite the Autobots&#039; best efforts to damage the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; and prevent the bridge from opening, Megatron succeeded in his plans, and then had his showdown with Optimus Prime atop the bridge itself as he waited for the Terrorcon legions to pass through to Earth. While the two old foes battled, the other Autobots sabotaged the bridge, causing it to explode and destroy both the Terrorcon army, and seemingly, Megatron himself. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}[[Image:Masters&amp;amp;Students-Megatronstasis.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Well, it&#039;s better than just [[Megatron (Animated)|being a head]] I suppose.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots were not so lucky, however: the Dark Energon in his spark allowed Megatron to survive the explosion, but just barely. When Starscream found his leader floating in space, he tore the Dark Energon from his body in the hope that he would expire, but was caught in the act by [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]]&#039;s [[Deployer (Prime)|Deployer]], [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] and forced to take Megatron back to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, where he was placed in [[Stasis lock|stasis]] in the sick bay. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} Starscream was content to leave Megatron in this state to recover or expire as fate saw fit, but the crew of the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; disagreed, and voted to bring in the Decepticon medic [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] to help heal their wounded leader. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}} Even with Knock Out&#039;s expertise, it seemed unlikely that Megatron would recover, but his assistant [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] gave his body a good buffing nonetheless; Starscream approved, as it meant their ex-leader would look his best for the memorial service. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When Optimus Prime was infected by cybonic plague, Arcee and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] board the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; to search for an antidote. While they failed to find one in the database, the two Autobots did discover Megatron in stasis, and Bumblebee mind-linked with the Decepticon leader via [[cortical psychic patch]] to try and pluck the cure from his sleeping brain. Bumblebee found himself within Megatron&#039;s mind, which took the form of [[Kaon]], where the Decepticon&#039;s subconscious was spending its time killing endless visions of Optimus Primes; unfortunately, Bumblebee&#039;s intrusion only caused Megatron to become aware of his situation, when he found he was unable to kill Bumblebee. Learning what had befallen Optimus, Megatron initially refused to give up the cure until Bumblebee convinced him that he would gain greater satisfaction from finishing his enemy off with his own two hands. Megatron offered the cure in exchange for Bumblebee&#039;s help in escaping his mental prison, but Bumblebee double-crossed him, withdrawing from his mind as soon as the cure was in Autobot hands. At the last moment, Megatron was able to effect his own escape, leaping into Bumblebee&#039;s mind along with him. {{storylink|Sick Mind}} [[Image:OutofhisHead megatron revived.jpg|left|thumb|250px|IT&#039;S... AAALLLLLIIIIIIIIVE!]] Recalling the sliver of Dark Energon Starscream had removed from his body, Megatron took full control of Bumblebee&#039;s body a short time later and used the GroundBridge to return to the ancient battlefield where he had raised his original Terrorcons, recovering the Dark Energon shard he had used to do so. He returned to the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]], where he dealt with Ratchet and [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] before again GroundBridging to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; and using the Dark Energon to restore his body and return his mind to it. Storming out of the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; to find Starscream, Megatron snatched his subordinate out of the air in the middle of a battle with Optimus Prime and took him back for his punishment. {{storylink|Out of His Head}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Shadowzone-MegsStarscream.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Lulz.]]  Despite his treason, Megatron decided not to terminate Starscream, viewing him as no real threat and taking perverse amusement in his repeated failures. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}} Instead, Megatron proceeded to beat Starscream only to &#039;&#039;near&#039;&#039; death, then had him placed in the infirmary, occasionally visiting to gloat. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Breakdown was captured by the humans of [[MECH]], Megatron refuted Starscream&#039;s suggestion that they rescue him, announcing that if Breakdown had allowed himself to be captured by those weaker than him, then he deserved whatever he got. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}} Breakdown did manage to escape, however, insisted his wounded pride saw him volunteer to recover a [[polarity gauntlet]] for Megatron, in order to prove his worth. Megatron was disappointed when his minion returned without the gauntlet, but was placated with the revelation that he had instead brought back [[Airachnid]]. {{storylink|Metal Attraction}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RockBottom-Starscreamprays.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Definitely &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; [[Bruticus]], Starscream.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Discovering that Starscream was still attempting to mine energon for his personal use without his knowledge, Megatron determined that the amusement had come to an end. Taking him to the mine in question, Megatron revealed that he had been aware of Starscream&#039;s previous transgressions the whole time thanks to Soundwave, and was about to execute his grovelling lieutenant when [[Jack Darby]] and [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] walked in. In the firefight that followed, stray shots from Megatron&#039;s fusion cannon brought the mine down on top of them all, with Megatron being completely pinned by rubble. Jack happened upon the Decepticon leader with a mining drill, and Megatron, knowing that the human would not help him, instead urged Jack to finish him off. Jack refused, saying that wasn&#039;t what Optimus would do, and left, but the opening he had created allowed Megatron to begin his escape. After finally extricating himself, Megatron came upon Starscream trying to keep a large rock from crushing him. Starscream insisted that he had come to rescue Megatron, and begged the Decepticon leader to spare him, and Megatron acquiesced with a smirk. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Megatron allowed Starscream to live and continue as his second-in-command, he was furious to learn from Airachnid that Starscream had kept the location of the &#039;&#039;[[Harbinger]]&#039;&#039; from him. He ordered Starscream to lead Airachnid to the crash site and retrieve an [[Immobilizer|experimental weapon]] that was inside. Much to Megatron&#039;s fury, Airachnid returned not only without the weapon, but with the news that Starscream had been captured by the Autobots as well. {{storylink|Partners}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:StrongerFaster-KnockOutMegatronRatchet.jpg|right|250px|thumb|&amp;quot;Steroids?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Yup.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Ah.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
When a formula for [[Synthetic Energon]] was transferred from a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]] into the mind of the Autobot [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]], Optimus Prime petitioned Megatron for the return of the cylinder so they could extract the formula, after which they would willingly hand it over. Megatron briefly considered the proposal, but instead sent Knock Out and Breakdown to capture Bulkhead and dared Prime to fight for the cylinder. When his Vehicon troops were defeated, Megatron simply crushed the device and took flight. {{storylink|T.M.I.}} The synthetic energon formula helped the Autobots counter Megatron&#039;s next tactic: causing the Autobots to burn through their energon supplies at an accelerated rate by leading them on wild goose chases. Juiced up on the &amp;quot;SynthEn&amp;quot;, Ratchet attacked Megatron and Knock Out while they were surveying an energon mine, and sent the Decepticon leader flying with one punch. Unfortunately for Ratchet, Megatron swiftly recovered and subdued the Autobot medic with ease. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Convinced by Dark Energon-induced visions that an impending prophecy detailed his own destiny, Megatron stepped up the Decepticons&#039; work in constructing a new space bridge so they could obtain more Dark Energon. When they located the last component they needed, Megatron went in personally, grievously wounding Raf with a blast of Dark Energon on the way and creating an unintended distraction that allowed him to make off with the power source he needed. Soon after, Megatron lured Optimus Prime to a volcano he had seen in his visions, and during their battle, it erupted with Dark Energon, imbuing Megatron with the power he needed to fell Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}}[[Image:OneShallFall-visionfulfilled.jpg|thumb|255px|right|Look, Prime! Look at the fireworks! Aren&#039;t they splendid?!]] The intervention of the other Autobots saved Prime&#039;s life, but this was of little concern to Megatron, who now had all the Dark Energon he needed and set his miners to work gathering it up. When Soundwave detected a spark-beat coming from within the Earth, Megatron felt it pounding through his brain and realized what his visions had meant: the lifeforce of Unicron himself dwelt within Earth. Leaving Airachnid in command, Megatron flew into the volcano to address Unicron, but received not the power he hoped the chaos-bringer would bestow on him, but instead Unicron&#039;s displeasure at the fact that Optimus Prime still lived. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spurned, Megatron instead went to the aid of Optimus and his Autobots, who were under attack from Unicron&#039;s stone avatars. He offered Optimus his services—he intended to lead them to Unicron&#039;s real form so that Optimus could use the [[Matrix of Leadership]] on the Chaos God. While the Autobots returned to base, Megatron kept the giant stone Unicrons busy, and Prime eventually accepted Megatron&#039;s offer. On arrival in the Autobot base, Megatron encountered a couple of humans he recognized, Raf and Jack, as well as a [[Miko Nakadai|new loud one]]. Megatron was first to step through the GroundBridge into the Earth&#039;s core, and as the Autobots followed, he warned them that Unicron already knew they were there. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:OneShallRise3-together.jpg|thumb|255px|left|&amp;quot;Just this once, we work together! Mortal enemies working together for the common good!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Be quiet!&amp;quot;]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the persistent influence of Unicron, Megatron led the Autobots through Unicron&#039;s insides, even helping them fight off [[Unicron&#039;s antibodies|antibodies]]. The Dark Energon he was imbued with allowed him to enter Unicron&#039;s spark chamber with Optimus, though at that point Unicron&#039;s influence became so great that the Chaos God was able to commandeer his body. After Optimus unleashed the power of the Matrix, apparently extinguishing Unicron&#039;s spark, Megatron went to kill Optimus, only to discover his foe had lost his memory and now believed himself to be Orion Pax. Megatron convinced Optimus that the other Autobots were enemies, and the pair returned to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, where Megatron introduced &amp;quot;Orion Pax&amp;quot; to his men. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron wasted no time in spinning a tale of Autobot warlord Ratchet and the destruction of Cybertron, and put Orion Pax to work decoding data from the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] archives for a [[Project Iacon|project]] of the same name. Though aware that at some point Orion would find out the truth, Megatron made all precautions to make sure that didn&#039;t happen before Orion finished his work. Knock Out was ordered to set up Orion&#039;s work station a mere few inches away from the Energon storage vault. Orion work on this project for the next 2 months. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During Orion&#039;s decoding, the archivist noted several references to Starscream as being Megatron&#039;s second in command. As part of his deception, Megatron claimed Starscream to be dead. order Soundwave to carefully remove Arcee from the ship with a GroundBridge. Arachnid offered to destroy the bike bot herself but Megatron feared that Orion would become weary of their activity&#039;s should he bare witness to an Autobot&#039;s destruction.{{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron attempted to cover for a surprise visit by Starscream when he managed to sneak aboard the ship. Orion asked why Megatron lied, but the con leader stated that Starscream as &amp;quot;dead&amp;quot; to their cause for joining the Autobots. However, Starscream&#039;s visit caused Orion to uncover the truth and find out that he was infact Optimus Prime, the so called leader of the Autobot &amp;quot;invaders&amp;quot;. Soundwave notified Megatron of Orion finding information on Optimus Prime and Megatron realized that harsher methods would be necessary to complete [[Project Iacon]]. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron payed Orion a visit to expose Orion&#039;s findings. Orion demanded to know the full truth but Megatron refused, this caused Orion to delete his findings. However Soundwave had in fact recorded his finding&#039;s and the data was saved who informed Megatron of activity at the space bridge and went there to find the Autobots had taken control of it. Also one of their [[Insecticon (Prime)|traps]] on Cybertron was activated. Megatron ordered the guards to watch Orion while he went out and threaded to kill the archivist if he had not completed the project if he did not complete it. Megatron realized that the Autobot&#039;s must of been searching for a way to restore Orion to Optimus. He arrived to the space bridge and defeated the trio who were there, and waited for Arcee to return through the open space bridge with the expected Matrix. However in the meantime Orion had overpowered his guards and came to attack Megatron. Orion declared his loyalty to the Autobot&#039;s, pulled out his blades (one of which was &#039;&#039;still&#039;&#039; broken) and attacked Megatron but was no match for him, but while the Decepticon leader was subsequently kept busy by Arcee, Jack returned the Matrix to Orion, who regained his memory and left with the Autobots, leaving Megatron screaming furiously at his failure. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilers|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1|March 17, 2012}}&lt;br /&gt;
Following the first of the coordinates left by Orion, Megatron and his men unearthed the [[spark extractor|Spark Extractor]]. Unfortunately while Megatron was taking it back through the GroundBridge, it was taken from him by Bumblebee. He was &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; unhappy and began to regret only taking to scouts vocal processor and not his life but Soundwave reminded him of the other two sets of coordinates with weapons. He then ordered Knock Out and Breakdown to retrieve another artifact before Bulkhead and Bumblebee did. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Voice actor&#039;&#039;: [[Fred Tatasciore]] (English), [[Oliviero Corbetta]] (Italian), [[Juan Carlos Lozano]] (Spain-Spanish)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC_Megatron.jpg|thumb|350px|He wants the whooole wooorld, in his hand!]]&lt;br /&gt;
During the early war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatron found reference to an energy source called [[Dark Energon]], which had impressive potential as a weapon, and became determined to claim it for himself. One of the few places it was made was in a station in orbit around Cybertron, guarded by a politically neutral force led by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. With this knowledge, he took a ship and launched an assault on the station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship was badly damaged in the attack, and so he ordered [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]] and [[Brawl (WFC)| Brawl]], piloting it, to ram the station.  He and many of his soldiers survived the impact and escaped the core&#039;s detonation. They were then confronted by Starscream, who informed them that they would not allow them to take what he had guarded for ten thousand years.  After surviving a trap of sentry guns, Megatron, Barricade, and Brawl were reinforced by more of Megatron&#039;s troops, and set out on their way to find the station&#039;s Dark Energon stores and claim them for the war effort.  They encountered significant resistance, but managed to shoot their way through, with directional aid from [[Soundwave (Prime)| Soundwave]].  Barricade noted that the station itself seemed quite primitive; Megatron noted it was very old, and that he intended to modernize it...  At one point, the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] confronted Megatron nonviolently, asking him to give up his quest, as Dark Energon would result in only horror, death, and destruction, to which Megatron sneered, &amp;quot;You say that as if it were a bad thing.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC-MegatronmeetsStarscream.jpg|left|thumb|300px|At last we meet, my punching bag.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along their way to the Dark Energon, they found that a large portion of the station had been blasted clean off, the debris field traversable but sparse enough to allow easy viewing of Cybertron itself. Soundwave soon found records indicating that a small amount of Dark Energon lost containment and was the sole cause of the destruction, underscoring Megatron&#039;s desire for it.  When Barricade asked how he expected to control it when no other had, Megatron said that such power was only for the strong, that he was the strongest, and not to question him again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When they finally reached the storage chamber, and Megatron averted Starscream&#039;s destruction of it, he calmly entered into a container full of raw Dark Energon, while Starscream watched and gloated at his imminent destruction...only for him to walk out, not only unscathed, but crackling with power, which he further bestowed upon Barricade and Brawl. A single blast of Dark Energon was enough to destroy an entire company of station security forces, the last line of defense between Megatron and Starscream and his companions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jetfire again tried to warn Megatron about the dangers of Dark Energon, but Starscream interrupted, asking to join the Decepticon leader. Megatron asked what Starscream could offer that he could not simply take. Starscream revealed the station&#039;s supply of Dark Energon was almost spent, and he knew how to manufacture more—and as luck would have it, there was a dormant [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] which could be used to power it. Jetfire retreated to inform [[Sentinel Zeta Prime| Zeta Prime]]; Megatron let him go, seeming pleased by the notion of letting the Autobots tremble in advance of their actions, and sent Starscream, [[Thundercracker (WFC)| Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (WFC)| Skywarp]] to activate the bridge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron repeatedly mocked what he perceived as Starscream&#039;s slowness in his simple mission, but the Seeker did what he said he could.  With a steady supply of Dark Energon, Megatron launched an attack on Iacon City, intending to take a device called the [[Omega Key]] and use it to enter the Core of Cybertron. This time, he took [[Breakdown (Prime)| Breakdown]] and Soundwave with him. The trio took the less-guarded way in—which, since the Autobots were not complete fools (as even Megatron would admit), still had significant military presence. During the attack, Starscream noted that Dark Energon was proving every bit as potent as Megatron had promised. Breakdown let Megatron know of his misgivings about the Sky Commander; Megatron admitted he was treacherous and untrustworthy, but he had useful talents, and his cunning and ambition was intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Omega Key had been taken from its normal resting place, however, by Autobot leader Zeta Prime, and so Megatron took his squad on an assault on Zeta&#039;s headquarters.  They met Brawl, leading an attack on the doors to Zeta Prime&#039;s armory, along the way.  Even Megatron&#039;s touch of Dark Energon could not breach the vault doors, however, and so he called in [[Dark Energon Bombers]]. When they were shot down, Brawl suggested they take out the Autobots&#039; air defense guns, after which bombers were called in again; Megatron&#039;s troops then held off a massive assault from what seemed like the entire Autobot army while waiting for the bombing run to finally arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC Megatron Vs ZetaPrime.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Zeta Prime, you might be more egotistical than me. I mean really, a huge holographic version of you and smaller holograms doing what you can&#039;t do without your pointy stick thing?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the vault doors were breached, they reached Zeta Prime himself, who had constructed several layers of security while he waited.  An invincible energy field protected him, while he could drop portions of the ceiling with pistons to crush anything beneath them, and construct endless holographic clones of himself outfitted for melee combat, which Megatron personally found nauseating.  However, his defenses were not without flaw: periodically, the power core would need to disperse waste heat, and Megatron&#039;s team survived long enough to destroy it during this stage.  Zeta fell, buried under the wreckage of his own defenses, and Megatron took the device he&#039;d carried...which started to make electronic chirping noises.  Zeta, with black humor, noted that the device was not the Omega Key.  It merely &#039;&#039;activated&#039;&#039; the Key, which would come to them... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Searching for the Key in the skies aboard another ship, Megatron, with Soundwave and Breakdown at the controls, were abruptly confronted by a massive ship, [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]], who knocked them out of the sky, causing them to crash back in Iacon. There, they played a cat-and-mouse campaign in a desperate attempt to survive the enormous Autobot&#039;s vast firepower, though Soundwave noted that the weaponry they bore had little chance of penetrating Omega Supreme&#039;s armor.  Megatron, for his part, at least contrived to appear unafraid, claiming that if it came to a real fight, the brute wouldn&#039;t stand a chance against Megatron&#039;s intellect.  However, Omega&#039;s attacks drove them underground and left them unable to immediately transmit counter to Starscream, who declared Megatron dead and announced he was taking control.  Even when they re-established contact, Starscream&#039;s aerial forces only briefly distracted Omega, who dispensed large numbers of troops, sucked up Decepticons with a tractor beam, fired weapons of mass destruction, and mined the roads Megatron and his squad were using.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave, however, had come up with a suggestion—there were weapons emplacements higher up that had the ability to damage Omega Supreme.  Taking them from the Autobots was a battle in and of itself, but nothing compared to the fight against Omega Supreme, who could unload entire squadrons of Aerialbots.  Nonetheless, Megatron&#039;s boldness and tactical acumen finally shot Omega Supreme out of the sky.&lt;br /&gt;

Gloating, Megatron found that the behemoth was still not defeated, and indeed was drawing power from Cybertron itself to repair his systems, making him stronger, if anything.  However, by corrupting the energon batteries with which he was using to feed himself with Dark Energon charges, they were able to weaken him to the point where they could finally blast away his last defenses and brought him to heel.  With Omega Supreme defeated, Megatron went underground, directly to the Core, and corrupted it with a massive infusion of Dark Energon, finally bringing Cybertron itself more completely under his control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, Megatron was clearly convinced, and for good reason, that he&#039;d won, making propaganda broadcasts extolling his greatness and how he had taken away the Autobots&#039; burdens of &amp;quot;liberty&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;choice&amp;quot;.  When Starscream was defeated and the Decagon retaken, however, he realized the Autobots were not yet going to roll over for him, and sent a distress signal from Zeta Prime, whom he had kept alive in the Kaon prison camp, in order to provoke a rescue attempt from the Autobots.  His old acquaintance Optimus took the bait, and Megatron confronted him, telling him that the war could be over tomorrow if Optimus took the Autobots and left.  Optimus refused, so Megatron consigned him and his team to the prisons.  When they managed to stage a mass breakout, an enraged Megatron ordered his troops to prevent their escape at any cost, to the point of tearing apart portions of Kaon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was not enough, however, and they escaped, journeying to the Core, where they kickstarted the cleansing of Megatron&#039;s corruption.  Doing so, however, would take the Core millions of years of shutdown, rendering Cybertron uninhabitable.  Whether Megatron knew this or not, when he saw the Autobots leaving after Optimus&#039;s refusal of his earlier offer, he apparently took offense.  His earlier plans of renovating Starscream&#039;s station had come to fruition; now, it mounted a powerful superweapon, capable of destroying entire structures in one shot.  He had it fire upon the Autobot transports as they left.  When a team of Aerialbots attempted to disable or destroy it, he called Jetfire, now one of them, and taunted him about his past.  He further mocked them when they destroyed the plasma coolant system without apparently having accounted for backups.  Finally, during the attack he came into possession of information on Optimus Prime&#039;s location, and ordered Trypticon—the name of the weapon, for it was actually a Cybertronian—to fire upon it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trypticon, however, was forced into his natural form and defeated after he crash-landed on Cybertron.  Megatron&#039;s reaction to this went unrecorded. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Transformers: War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; (DS)===&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron was the Decepticon Leader during the final days of the Great War. After capturing an Autobot facility, and killing a cadet, Megatron revealed his plan to his troops. Megatron intended to conquer Trypticon Space Station, which had the means and power to manufacture Dark Energon: a variant of Energon which greatly increased the stamina and strength of its host. Megatron fought his way through the station to its commander, the Autobot Starscream. Upon Starscream&#039;s defeat, Starscream offered his services and the Dark Energon if he was spared. Megatron agreed, and Starscream joined the Decepticons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a test run of the Dark Energon in Kaon Prison, Soundwave deduced the element would only kill the host, but Starscream was able to find a way to fix it. Megatron then decided the time was right, and led his army to the inner levels of Cybertron. He was able to activate the uplink to channel energy from the Core of Cybertron itself to Trypticon Station, but he needed the Omega Key to access it once it was shut down with a firewall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFCDS Defeat Omega Supreme.jpg|thumb|left|256px|Simple enough... OH GOD BULLETS.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron learned through a recording from Laserbeak that Autobot Leader Zeta Prime had the Omega Key in his possession and had holed up deep within Iacon. Megatron led a full-scale assault on the city, totally devastating Iacon, until he found Zeta Prime at last. After a hard battle, Zeta fell, and Megatron obtained the Omega Key. However, immediately upon taking it, alarms went off, and Iacon itself was shaking. Zeta Prime, despite being mortally wounded, laughed at Megatron&#039;s face, saying the Omega Key was only the key to the &#039;&#039;true&#039;&#039; key: the city-sized Autobot Omega Supreme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Omega immediately attacked the victorious Decepticons, and quickly decimated their presence in Iacon, save for Megatron&#039;s team and a few others. By this point, Megatron was absolutely furious at Starscream: Megatron declared it was he who led them to Omega Supreme and the devastating onslaught he carried out. Starscream bitterly retorted even if Megatron killed him, Omega Supreme would still be out for his blood, helping nothing whatsoever. Megatron angrily let it go for the time being, and led his army to battle. His troops&#039; confidence beginning to falter, Megatron declared they would either be kicking themselves for not acting for the rest of their lives, or heroes in a historic event. His men followed him to battle Omega, and the titan fell. Megatron was free to corrupt the Core of Cybertron with Dark Energon, and obtain near-supremacy of Cybertron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That kind of went downhill when the new Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, extinguished the Dark Energon and destroyed Trypticon Space Station, didn&#039;t it?&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Voice actor&#039;&#039;: [[Fred Tatasciore]] (English), [[Oliviero Corbetta]] (Italian)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early in the war, when the Autobots learned of the existence of the orbiting superweapon [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]], Megatron sent waves of Decepticon forces to keep them from discovering more about it. Megatron, happy to see the destruction Trypticon was creating, ordered Starscream and Skywarp at gunpoint to return to Trypticon and clean up after it, while he took his troops into battle to scour the area for Autobots to kill. Few Autobots other than the medic, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]], were spared Megatron&#039;s initial assault.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron found out that Starscream had left his post at Trypticon, Megatron grew angry. But the Autobots had infiltrated the [[Datacore]], so Megatron focused his efforts there instead. Bumblebee was captured, and information useful for the taking of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] was pulled from his mind. Megatron assigned Skywarp the task of the initial Iacon assault. The traitorous Starscream returned to Megatron&#039;s focus, and the Air Commander was ordered to infiltrate the Core of Cybertron to reactivate the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]]. But Starscream took too long, discovering Megatron had already reached the Core by the time he arrived. In a foul mood, Megatron would test Starscream&#039;s loyalty by putting him on the Iacon assault&#039;s front lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The assault went as planned, and Iacon crumbled. As Barricade and Starscream reached an empty Council Chamber, Megatro alerted them to the evacuation of the surviving Autobots. Three Autobot ships positioned themselves to escape, and so Megatron ordered Thundercracker and Skywarp to take them down.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Iacon fell, the Trypticon orbiting superweapon was destroyed by the Autobots... but not before Megatron ripped the datacore from its brain so as to salvage its information on Dark Energon. Megatron was pleased. Despite his loss, he still had the upper hand. {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Cybertronian Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: clear purple missile, fusion cannon&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy is based on Megatron&#039;s appearance in the video game &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, transforming into a Cybertronian self-propelled gun.  The treads of his vehicle can be positioned in either a vertical configuration like a traditional tank or in a horizontal, hovertank configuration.  Megatron&#039;s spring-loaded cannon can attach to either arm. He also has an insignia on his back, but unlike Optimus, his is not hidden by kibble.  Like [[Soundwave (Prime)|&#039;&#039;War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; Soundwave]], his head has a light-piping gimmick that has been neutered by his painted eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Some units of the figure have Megatron&#039;s left internal shoulder strut misassembled, preventing that side of the tank-mode from becoming properly flush to the body when transforming. This can be corrected by unscrewing and separating the outer shoulder structure, flipping the strut 180 degrees, and reassembling the shoulder covering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Also, the packaging image for his tank mode is flipped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was [[redeco]]ed into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers United|United]]&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (G1)/toys#United|Megatron Cybertron Mode]] and [[Darkside Megatron]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Primetoy-MegatronEP.jpg|right|thumb|300px|His jet mode needs a little scarf attached to the robot head.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime vs Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (First Edition 5 figure gift set, 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: [[Fusion cannon]]&lt;br /&gt;
: This Deluxe-Class version of Megatron transforms into his alien ship mode. He comes with his Fusion Cannon, which can either be held with his hands in robot mode, or peg onto his jet mode by folding the handle in and pegging it behind his exposed, peeking head. It is also in this latter configuration for the cannon that the otherwise useless groove and tab on the cannon and its handle can be pegged onto the tab and otherwise useless socket on his right arm, giving him the classic, arm-mounted, yet &#039;&#039;strangely undocumented&#039;&#039; Fusion Cannon configuration shown in his [[stock photography]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Speaking of undocumented features, his [[instructions]] show a noticeably different &amp;quot;completed&amp;quot; vehicle mode when compared to his stock photos. Specifically, the instructions completely neglect the extra steps to flip his wings out and form a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] vehicle mode, opting instead for a more slender, wingless vehicle mode. To achieve this undocumented form, his underside leg panels must be opened, flipped around and over to the top of the ship, be pegged onto a tab on the side of his intakes, and his pointy wingtips must be flipped out from underneath. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also has some clearance issues when transforming. His intakes and the panel that surrounds his head in vehicle mode tend to collide when the intakes are snugly angled into and out of the panel, often resulting in the intakes popping off the (detachable) plastic hinges that they&#039;re on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also comes somewhat mis-transformed in the package, with the positions of the intakes and the panel on his back being switched around, with the panel being placed &#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039; the intakes, instead of &#039;&#039;before&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He comes with a similarly-scaled [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] and PVC figurines of [[Miko Nakadai]], [[Jack Darby]] and [[Raf Esquivel]], as well as a DVD of the &amp;quot;Series Premiere&amp;quot; episode &amp;quot;[[Masters &amp;amp; Students]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: The Japanese release of Deluxe class Megatron was packaged by itself on a card. The instructions show the proper vehicle mode, how to attach his fusion canon to his arm, and the figure is transformed correctly in the box.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Cyber sword&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
: This Cyberverse scaled Megatron is cast partly in translucent plastic so that the toy can be lit using the electronic lights featured in the larger playsets.  He also comes with a translucent &amp;quot;cyber sword&amp;quot; weapon and a pack-in file card.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Cannon&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Combat Claw&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
: Like the Cyberverse version, this Megatron has a fair amount of translucent purple plastic in the torso and forearms, and a similar general design to his other &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; toys of the line in both modes, although the plastic is a little more matte than in the stock photo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with two weapons; the arm cannon is a MechTech-like weapon, where pushing a plunger at the back swings two blades out from either side and pushes a third one forward, combining to make a larger one below the cannon&#039;s mouth. At the same time, a red LED swings out and activates, shining through the plastic blades. The cannon can be mounted on either arm, either in the classic elbow port or from one on the wrist, and the blade can be locked in place by manually swinging the blades out while holding the plunger back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also comes with a combat claw, which mounts on the wrist point on either hand and has a piece which rests in the hand to appear more as if it&#039;s being held. The claw can also be mounted in front of the cannon, which does not interfere with the cannon&#039;s blade gimmick. Both weapons can also be stored on the back when not in use, and it is possible to trigger the cannon&#039;s LED gimmick and lock it on while on the back without unfolding the blade much, resulting in the LED shining through and making the inner chest glow red.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The [[stock photo]] to the right has his vehicle mode mis-transformed. His treads are left almost untransformed as his arms, but with his hands folded inside the treads, and the top panel on his left shoulder hasn&#039;t been rotated and pegged between his shoulders/tank front. His robot mode is also mis-transformed, with his back panel not being pegged into his back and being left hanging behind his thighs.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Tfprimemegatronjet.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Too fast for screen caps.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*As revealed in [[ One Shall Rise,Part 3 ]], Megatron used to have blue optics.&lt;br /&gt;
*Megatron&#039;s designation as an energon miner was &amp;quot;D-16&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=7fd5ecd9-19b9-f369-1041-a7635be83172 War for Cybertron timeline].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Megatron&#039;s original [[Japanese ID number list|Japanese ID number]] was &amp;quot;16&amp;quot;. Takara would eventually change the numbering system using a &amp;quot;D&amp;quot; to denote [[Decepticon|Destrons]]. So Megatron&#039;s Japanese ID number could retroactively be considered &amp;quot;D-16&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*In &#039;&#039;Transformers: War for Cybertron&#039;&#039;, Megatron has multiple glitches when controlled by the computer, among them shrinking (quite hilariously), losing his Fusion Cannon, and having his Tank mode cannon stick straight up (also humorous). He may be the most glitchy character in the game.&lt;br /&gt;
*Optimus Prime&#039;s recollections in &#039;&#039;Darkness Rising&#039;&#039; have him and Megatron fighting side-by-side at the start of the Great War. This is the first time a Megatron has been involved in a Great War that he &#039;&#039;didn&#039;t&#039;&#039; start, never mind one where he used to be a goodie.&lt;br /&gt;
*The show design of this version of Megatron takes visual cues from both G1 (the ever-famous [[Megatron (G1)| buckethead]] and lower legs resembling a pistol&#039;s handgrip) and [[Megatron (Movie)|the Movie version]] of the Decepticon leader (the sharp angles and bits on his shoulders, along with two-toed feet and a demonic-looking face with sharp teeth), even including the jet mode the latter version appeared in.&lt;br /&gt;
*The &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; staff used the same rationale that Megatron would not scan an Earth mode out of disgust at humans.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/botcon-2010-transformers-prime-panel-coverage-170054/ BotCon 2010 Transformers Prime Panel Coverage]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; According to Cybertronian Megatron&#039;s packaging bio, Megatron often changes his altmode, probably in an attempt to explain why he&#039;s a tank in the game and a jet in the cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;
*At a video shown at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, Welker explained his &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; voice for Megatron would be mostly toned down from his Generation 1 counterpart, to give the character more range.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/san-diego-comic-con-33/transformers-prime---peter-cullen--frank-welker-behind-the-scenes-170264/ Transformers Prime - Peter Cullen &amp;amp; Frank Welker Behind the Scenes] TFW2005&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When the show aired, Megatron indeed had a more quiet, sinister version of his voice than the iconic shouty one.&lt;br /&gt;

{{disambig3|Megatron}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Megatron is the [[Decepticon]] leader from the [[Aligned continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PrimeMegatron.jpg|thumb|400px|Lord of the [[Dark Energon]] wraiths.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The awesomely powerful &#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; is, in many ways, a fallen hero. He rose up from the oppressed lower working castes of [[Kaon]] to become a champion in the region&#039;s illegal [[gladiatorial combat|deathmatches]], cast aside his designation of &#039;&#039;&#039;D-16&#039;&#039;&#039; and took the legendary name &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Fallen|Megatronus]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Megatron was an abbreviation, so it&#039;d be easier for the masses to chant his name; &#039;&#039;Transformers: Exodus&#039;&#039;, Chapter 3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as his own, he called for an end to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]&#039;s decrepit [[caste system]] and told the downtrodden that freedom of self-determination was the right of all sentient beings!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But absolute power corrupts absolutely, and Megatron&#039;s Decepticon revolution, like many such movements, ended up becoming a whole new tyranny. Powerful, charismatic, violent, and full of rage for any who would stand in the way of his ambition and drive, Megatron brought Cybertron &#039;&#039;past&#039;&#039; the brink of destruction. Now he and his former brother-in-arms [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] fight on other worlds.  Megatron will never forgive Optimus for &amp;quot;betraying&amp;quot; him, stealing from the Council the rank of Prime which was rightfully his.  He has reserved for his old friend the greatest honor possible: glorious death at his hands.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron has been gone for three years, but now he&#039;s returned. He&#039;s brought the monstrous [[Dark Energon]] to Earth, and quite possibly left his sanity in space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:WFCcomicD16.jpg|thumb|left|250px|&amp;quot;Alright! What&#039;s the square root of pi?! What&#039;s the capital of Sierre Leone?! What&#039;s... awww, this &#039;ask questions later&#039; thing doesn&#039;t work at &#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039;.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron nicknamed himself D-16 after the sector of the mine where he performed demolition operations. As a gladiator, in killing others he began to appreciate the value of life, and in between matches he became something of an intellectual, debating the castes with other miners. After bosses requested he lose a few fights, D-16 killed them and took over Kaon and [[Slaughter City]]. After murdering one boss in front of his employees, D-16 declared himself Megatronus, whom he considered the greatest of the [[Thirteen]]. After hearing his preaching on the [[Communication Grid]] against the [[Guilds of Cybertron]], the concerned [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] sent [[Bumper (WFC)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (WFC)|Fastback]] to investigate. Megatronus killed them, believing two lives were worthless compared to the millions doomed by the castes Sentinel created. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a victorious battle with the [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]]s, in which the crowd redubbed him Megatron, the gladiator was contacted by the [[Iacon (polity)|Iaconian]] [[Hall of Records|records monitor]] [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]], and they began exchanging their ideas in intense but friendly philosophical discussions. Megatron encouraged Orion to learn self defense and invited him to visit Kaon, which he did to a warm welcome from Megatron (and from none of his gladiators). By this point Megatron was planning to call his movement the Decepticons, and he had begun sending his followers on a search for artifacts of the Primes, as their discovery would be signs their cause was just. His followers began bombing Cybertron, and Megatron distanced himself from their extremism to gain credibility. Orion and his mentor [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] believed him, but the latter was well aware Megatron might have gained a taste for violence after the attention it earned him. Soon enough, Megatron accepted the gift of a kidnapped Sentinel Prime from [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFCcomicHalogendies.jpg|thumb|250px|]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alpha Trion organized a hearing for Orion and Megatron with the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. They protested involvement in Sentinel&#039;s disappearance. When confronted with the phrase &amp;quot;Decepticon&amp;quot;, Megatron denied any knowledge of it but accepted his followers&#039; term wholeheartedly, stating deception was necessary sometimes for the corrupt to see the truth. When [[Halogen (WFC)|Halogen]] revealed Megatron&#039;s followers had been trying to locate the [[Matrix of Leadership]], he declared that Orion should become the Prime that he desperately wanted to lead Cybertron into the new [[Golden Age]], and find it. Incensed, Megatron killed Halogen, and when Optimus prevented the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] from attacking Megatron, the ungrateful gladiator declared Optimus had fallen into the trap of power the High Council had given him. He declared Optimus was no longer his brother (though he would continue to refer to him as such privately), and that the Matrix would be his.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the subsequent war with Optimus&#039; [[Autobot]]s, the Decepticons took control of eighty-five percent of the planet. Wherever Starscream&#039;s [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] aided, they were victorious. Megatron was initially merciful to neutrals, but he let Shockwave take control of [[Tarn]] and torture Autobot sympathizers there. When the [[Praxus|Praxians]], a progressive city-state who were disappointed with the direction Megatron took, allied with the Autobots, Megatron decided he would no longer try to convert followers and launched the first genocide of the war, slaughtering all in [[Nova Cronum]] who would not submit to the Decepticons as they attacked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the war dragged into a siege of Iacon, Soundwave&#039;s spying bore fruit as he discovered [[Dark Energon]], the essence of [[Unicron]], was aboard [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. Megatron forgave Starscream for hiding its existence from him, acknowledging its potentially dangerous nature. To ensure loyalty, Megatron&#039;s gladiators stormed the Station slaughtering and maiming Starscream&#039;s scientists. He forced Starscream to pick two test subjects to be Darkened, and following an astonishingly successful result, Megatron absorbed some, invigorating him. Soon Darkened Decepticons appeared on the battlefield, but it proved to be an inefficient resource and they would have to flee if a battle was prolonged. Megatron needed more, and even Starscream&#039;s activation of the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] didn&#039;t provide enough. Megatron felt he would kill all the Decepticons before he was deprived of Dark Energon and turn rabid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fortunately, Soundwave revealed the existence of the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] within [[Teletraan-1]], which required the [[Code Key]]s of Power and Justice to activate it. Starscream recovered the Key of Power, while Megatron and his best soldiers searched for the Key of Justice below the [[High Council Tower]]. Sentinel Prime emerged, to Megatron&#039;s surprise. Sentinel confronted him about Bumper and Fastback, and the two dueled. Megatron disarmed and sliced open Sentinel, revealing the Key of Justice within. Starscream made a grab for it, exposing that he had released Sentinel to kill Megatron and take leadership for himself. After fighting Starscream to a standstill, Megatron pardoned him as he found him a better soldier than would-be example, and used the Keys to open Teletraan-1: which activated [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] to fly the Chamber to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Seekers shot Omega Supreme out of the air, causing him to crash. Optimus&#039;s Autobots arrived to fight the Decepticons, but the more they killed them the more Dark Energon left their bodies and empowered Megatron. He was able to knee Omega Supreme and turn him on his back, tearing the Chamber out of his chest. Using the Chamber, Megatron poisoned the [[core]] of Cybertron and Darkened the entire planet. But then the core stopped producing Dark Energon, and Megatron learnt Optimus had gone to the core and received the Matrix. As the Autobots attempted to flee Cybertron via the last [[space bridge]], Megatron used Trypticon to fire on their ships, and used his and Orion&#039;s old frequency to criticize Optimus for fleeing. He added he never believed in individual freedom for every Cybertronian, only the illusion of freedom that he as leader would provide and that the Guilds did not. Optimus responded that Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts and they would turn on him, and used the &#039;&#039;[[Eight Track (WFC)|Eight Track]]&#039;&#039; to board, sabotage and crash Trypticon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the Autobots left on the completed &#039;&#039;[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;, the Decepticons fully invaded Iacon. Megatron ordered Trypticon to transform into the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, boarding it with Starscream, Soundwave, [[Lugnut (WFC)|Lugnut]] and other elite soldiers, leaving Shockwave in charge. He used his old frequency once again to warn Optimus that he would hound him through the stars and finally kill him for the Matrix. He explained they were still brothers, as they were bonded for life despite their enmity. Optimus was just glad his hunt would get him off Cybertron. The two ships entered the last [[space bridge]] together, and when the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039; emerged, the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; was gone. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the waning years of the [[Golden Age]] of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatronus (who named himself after [[The Fallen|one of the original thirteen Primes]]) was a gladiator who fought in the [[Kaon]] arena and noticed there was a disparity in freedom among the classes of his race, and that the ruling class was corrupt and all-powerful.  In drawing attention to this inequity, he inspired a [[Hall of Records]] clerk named [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]], and the two joined forces to end corruption and bring equality to the masses. Soundwave also helped them. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}   Orion and Megatronus became close allies, almost like brothers.  But soon Megatronus&#039;s ideals would become corrupted, and the two would become bitter enemies. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DarknessRising2-Megsflashback.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Things were very red in those days.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatronus shortened his name to Megatron before he and Orion Pax appeared before the [[High Council]].  Shocking his colleague with his true intentions, Megatron stated that he would overthrow the High Council by force and instate himself as the next [[Prime (rank)|Prime]].  But it was Orion&#039;s speech that drew their attention.  Jealous, Megatron left the council and Orion behind and began his conquest and vowed to find the [[Matrix of Leadership]] which was denied to him by the council. At an unknown point in the war, Megatron created the [[Vehicon]] army to serve him, recruited Soundwave into his army. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}} and also recruited Starscream, the seeker&#039;s air commander as his second in command{{Storylink|Partners}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the war, Megatron took the city of [[Kaon]] which contained the very area he fought in as a gladiator and used it as a capitol, although completely unaware that the legendary [[Vector Sigma]] (a device that also contained the Matrix&#039;s power) was right below his feet. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilers|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1|March 17, 2012}}&lt;br /&gt;
In a battle at [[Tyger Pax]], Megatron captured Autobot Bumblebee and interrogated him for intel but the scout would not give in which provoked Megatron to crush in his voice box. However Autobot&#039;s invaded the location and saved the scout but the scout himself was left with out a proper voice. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war resulted in countless casualties and left the [[Core]] of Cybertron itself [[Dark Energon|poisoned]]. Although he was denied the [[Matrix of Leadership]] by the High Council, Megatron became obsessed with finding it, but Orion Pax was given it by the Core itself, and Orion became Optimus Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}} Eventually the war left Cybertron in ruin and forced the whole transformer race into exile into space. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}}{{Storylink|Exodus}} But Megatron would not leave the planet unguarded and placed a few [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]] guards in stasis on the planet should the enemy return. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the following years, Megatron and Optimus fought many a battle, such as the [[Battle of Technar]] where Megatron ordered [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] to assassinate Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} After his failure, Megatron came to believe only he should finally terminate Prime. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DarknessRising2-MegatronDarkEnergon.jpg|right|thumb|250px|We can relate.  We&#039;re just like this with our [[BotCon]] toys.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually Megatron and his army&#039;s arrived on Earth with Starscream, Soundwave, [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]], [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]], [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]] and [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] to search for Energon and powerful weapon&#039;s that found their was there during the war. However Megatron withdrew to space to search for more troops, leaving Starscream in charge. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} However before leaving, Megatron set up several mining sites with [[Decepticon Miner]]s to dig for Energon {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}. He had several Decepticon soldiers such as Skyquake in charge of deposits not yet ready for mining. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} Searching the void for three years, Megatron found something better than mere warriors: he discovered a new source of Dark Energon, the &amp;quot;blood of [[Unicron]]&amp;quot;, with which he could reanimate fallen Transformers as an army of the undead. Returning to Earth and resuming command of the Decepticons, Megatron tested the Dark Energon on the deceased Autobot [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]], reviving him as a [[zombie]] &amp;quot;[[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcon]]&amp;quot; that slaughtered several [[Decepticon Miner]]s, but which posed no threat to Megatron himself. Unfortunately for Megatron, this partial reactivation of Cliffjumper&#039;s lifesigns drew Optimus Prime&#039;s Autobots to the Decepticons&#039; mining operations. Deciding it was not yet time for a confrontation with Prime, Megatron withdrew aboard the [[Nemesis (Prime)|&#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;]], and continued to brood over the Dark Energon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:darknessrising3_Megatronglowy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Megatron, you fool! Rave glowsticks aren&#039;t candy!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron&#039;s inability to control the zombie Cliffjumper convinced him that he needed to integrate the Dark Energon into his own body in order to control the undead legions he planned to create. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}} Thrusting a shard of the material into his spark, he was filled with its power, feeling as thought he was connected to Unicron&#039;s very thoughts. Requiring a test run for his new power, Megatron headed for the site of an ancient Cybertronian battle on Earth, full of the remains of fallen warriors, where he was confronted by Optimus and [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]. Using Dark Energon to raise the dead Transformers as Terrorcons, Megatron successfully found he had complete control of the undead horde, and send them against the two Autobots. [[Image:DarknessRising4-Megatron.jpg|right|thumb|250px|I chew scenery while the zombies chew &#039;&#039;you&#039;&#039;.]] {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}  Optimus and Ratchet fought their way through the Terrorcons, only for Megatron to fly off before they could reach him, satisfied with his test results and ready put his plan into action—to open a [[space bridge]] to Cybertron and use Dark Energon to revive the entire planet&#039;s dead. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}} Despite the Autobots&#039; best efforts to damage the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; and prevent the bridge from opening, Megatron succeeded in his plans, and then had his showdown with Optimus Prime atop the bridge itself as he waited for the Terrorcon legions to pass through to Earth. While the two old foes battled, the other Autobots sabotaged the bridge, causing it to explode and destroy both the Terrorcon army, and seemingly, Megatron himself. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}[[Image:Masters&amp;amp;Students-Megatronstasis.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Well, it&#039;s better than just [[Megatron (Animated)|being a head]] I suppose.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots were not so lucky, however: the Dark Energon in his spark allowed Megatron to survive the explosion, but just barely. When Starscream found his leader floating in space, he tore the Dark Energon from his body in the hope that he would expire, but was caught in the act by [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]]&#039;s [[Deployer (Prime)|Deployer]], [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] and forced to take Megatron back to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, where he was placed in [[Stasis lock|stasis]] in the sick bay. {{storylink|Masters &amp;amp; Students}} Starscream was content to leave Megatron in this state to recover or expire as fate saw fit, but the crew of the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; disagreed, and voted to bring in the Decepticon medic [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] to help heal their wounded leader. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}} Even with Knock Out&#039;s expertise, it seemed unlikely that Megatron would recover, but his assistant [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] gave his body a good buffing nonetheless; Starscream approved, as it meant their ex-leader would look his best for the memorial service. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--[[Image:DarknessRising5-Megatronsword.jpg|left|thumb|250px|He has to be careful when he wipes.]]--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SickMind megs and bee.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Hey, [[Megatron (Animated)|you]] really &#039;&#039;are&#039;&#039; [[Transform and Roll Out|uglier from this angle]]!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Optimus Prime was infected by cybonic plague, Arcee and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] board the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; to search for an antidote. While they failed to find one in the database, the two Autobots did discover Megatron in stasis, and Bumblebee mind-linked with the Decepticon leader via [[cortical psychic patch]] to try and pluck the cure from his sleeping brain. Bumblebee found himself within Megatron&#039;s mind, which took the form of [[Kaon]], where the Decepticon&#039;s subconscious was spending its time killing endless visions of Optimus Primes; unfortunately, Bumblebee&#039;s intrusion only caused Megatron to become aware of his situation, when he found he was unable to kill Bumblebee. Learning what had befallen Optimus, Megatron initially refused to give up the cure until Bumblebee convinced him that he would gain greater satisfaction from finishing his enemy off with his own two hands. Megatron offered the cure in exchange for Bumblebee&#039;s help in escaping his mental prison, but Bumblebee double-crossed him, withdrawing from his mind as soon as the cure was in Autobot hands. At the last moment, Megatron was able to effect his own escape, leaping into Bumblebee&#039;s mind along with him. {{storylink|Sick Mind}} [[Image:OutofhisHead megatron revived.jpg|left|thumb|250px|IT&#039;S... AAALLLLLIIIIIIIIVE!]] Recalling the sliver of Dark Energon Starscream had removed from his body, Megatron took full control of Bumblebee&#039;s body a short time later and used the GroundBridge to return to the ancient battlefield where he had raised his original Terrorcons, recovering the Dark Energon shard he had used to do so. He returned to the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]], where he dealt with Ratchet and [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] before again GroundBridging to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; and using the Dark Energon to restore his body and return his mind to it. Storming out of the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; to find Starscream, Megatron snatched his subordinate out of the air in the middle of a battle with Optimus Prime and took him back for his punishment. {{storylink|Out of His Head}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Shadowzone-MegsStarscream.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Lulz.]]  Despite his treason, Megatron decided not to terminate Starscream, viewing him as no real threat and taking perverse amusement in his repeated failures. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}} Instead, Megatron proceeded to beat Starscream only to &#039;&#039;near&#039;&#039; death, then had him placed in the infirmary, occasionally visiting to gloat. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Breakdown was captured by the humans of [[MECH]], Megatron refuted Starscream&#039;s suggestion that they rescue him, announcing that if Breakdown had allowed himself to be captured by those weaker than him, then he deserved whatever he got. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}} Breakdown did manage to escape, however, insisted his wounded pride saw him volunteer to recover a [[polarity gauntlet]] for Megatron, in order to prove his worth. Megatron was disappointed when his minion returned without the gauntlet, but was placated with the revelation that he had instead brought back [[Airachnid]]. {{storylink|Metal Attraction}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RockBottom-Starscreamprays.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Definitely &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; [[Bruticus]], Starscream.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Discovering that Starscream was still attempting to mine energon for his personal use without his knowledge, Megatron determined that the amusement had come to an end. Taking him to the mine in question, Megatron revealed that he had been aware of Starscream&#039;s previous transgressions the whole time thanks to Soundwave, and was about to execute his grovelling lieutenant when [[Jack Darby]] and [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] walked in. In the firefight that followed, stray shots from Megatron&#039;s fusion cannon brought the mine down on top of them all, with Megatron being completely pinned by rubble. Jack happened upon the Decepticon leader with a mining drill, and Megatron, knowing that the human would not help him, instead urged Jack to finish him off. Jack refused, saying that wasn&#039;t what Optimus would do, and left, but the opening he had created allowed Megatron to begin his escape. After finally extricating himself, Megatron came upon Starscream trying to keep a large rock from crushing him. Starscream insisted that he had come to rescue Megatron, and begged the Decepticon leader to spare him, and Megatron acquiesced with a smirk. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Megatron allowed Starscream to live and continue as his second-in-command, he was furious to learn from Airachnid that Starscream had kept the location of the &#039;&#039;[[Harbinger]]&#039;&#039; from him. He ordered Starscream to lead Airachnid to the crash site and retrieve an [[Immobilizer|experimental weapon]] that was inside. Much to Megatron&#039;s fury, Airachnid returned not only without the weapon, but with the news that Starscream had been captured by the Autobots as well. {{storylink|Partners}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:StrongerFaster-KnockOutMegatronRatchet.jpg|right|250px|thumb|&amp;quot;Steroids?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Yup.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Ah.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
When a formula for [[Synthetic Energon]] was transferred from a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]] into the mind of the Autobot [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]], Optimus Prime petitioned Megatron for the return of the cylinder so they could extract the formula, after which they would willingly hand it over. Megatron briefly considered the proposal, but instead sent Knock Out and Breakdown to capture Bulkhead and dared Prime to fight for the cylinder. When his Vehicon troops were defeated, Megatron simply crushed the device and took flight. {{storylink|T.M.I.}} The synthetic energon formula helped the Autobots counter Megatron&#039;s next tactic: causing the Autobots to burn through their energon supplies at an accelerated rate by leading them on wild goose chases. Juiced up on the &amp;quot;SynthEn&amp;quot;, Ratchet attacked Megatron and Knock Out while they were surveying an energon mine, and sent the Decepticon leader flying with one punch. Unfortunately for Ratchet, Megatron swiftly recovered and subdued the Autobot medic with ease. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Convinced by Dark Energon-induced visions that an impending prophecy detailed his own destiny, Megatron stepped up the Decepticons&#039; work in constructing a new space bridge so they could obtain more Dark Energon. When they located the last component they needed, Megatron went in personally, grievously wounding Raf with a blast of Dark Energon on the way and creating an unintended distraction that allowed him to make off with the power source he needed. Soon after, Megatron lured Optimus Prime to a volcano he had seen in his visions, and during their battle, it erupted with Dark Energon, imbuing Megatron with the power he needed to fell Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}}[[Image:OneShallFall-visionfulfilled.jpg|thumb|255px|right|Look, Prime! Look at the fireworks! Aren&#039;t they splendid?!]] The intervention of the other Autobots saved Prime&#039;s life, but this was of little concern to Megatron, who now had all the Dark Energon he needed and set his miners to work gathering it up. When Soundwave detected a spark-beat coming from within the Earth, Megatron felt it pounding through his brain and realized what his visions had meant: the lifeforce of Unicron himself dwelt within Earth. Leaving Airachnid in command, Megatron flew into the volcano to address Unicron, but received not the power he hoped the chaos-bringer would bestow on him, but instead Unicron&#039;s displeasure at the fact that Optimus Prime still lived. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spurned, Megatron instead went to the aid of Optimus and his Autobots, who were under attack from Unicron&#039;s stone avatars. He offered Optimus his services—he intended to lead them to Unicron&#039;s real form so that Optimus could use the [[Matrix of Leadership]] on the Chaos God. While the Autobots returned to base, Megatron kept the giant stone Unicrons busy, and Prime eventually accepted Megatron&#039;s offer. On arrival in the Autobot base, Megatron encountered a couple of humans he recognized, Raf and Jack, as well as a [[Miko Nakadai|new loud one]]. Megatron was first to step through the GroundBridge into the Earth&#039;s core, and as the Autobots followed, he warned them that Unicron already knew they were there. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:OneShallRise3-together.jpg|thumb|255px|left|&amp;quot;Just this once, we work together! Mortal enemies working together for the common good!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Be quiet!&amp;quot;]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the persistent influence of Unicron, Megatron led the Autobots through Unicron&#039;s insides, even helping them fight off [[Unicron&#039;s antibodies|antibodies]]. The Dark Energon he was imbued with allowed him to enter Unicron&#039;s spark chamber with Optimus, though at that point Unicron&#039;s influence became so great that the Chaos God was able to commandeer his body. After Optimus unleashed the power of the Matrix, apparently extinguishing Unicron&#039;s spark, Megatron went to kill Optimus, only to discover his foe had lost his memory and now believed himself to be Orion Pax. Megatron convinced Optimus that the other Autobots were enemies, and the pair returned to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, where Megatron introduced &amp;quot;Orion Pax&amp;quot; to his men. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron wasted no time in spinning a tale of Autobot warlord Ratchet and the destruction of Cybertron, and put Orion Pax to work decoding data from the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] archives for a [[Project Iacon|project]] of the same name. Though aware that at some point Orion would find out the truth, Megatron made all precautions to make sure that didn&#039;t happen before Orion finished his work. Knock Out was ordered to set up Orion&#039;s work station a mere few inches away from the Energon storage vault. Orion work on this project for the next 2 months. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During Orion&#039;s decoding, the archivist noted several references to Starscream as being Megatron&#039;s second in command. As part of his deception, Megatron claimed Starscream to be dead. order Soundwave to carefully remove Arcee from the ship with a GroundBridge. Arachnid offered to destroy the bike bot herself but Megatron feared that Orion would become weary of their activity&#039;s should he bare witness to an Autobot&#039;s destruction.{{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron attempted to cover for a surprise visit by Starscream when he managed to sneak aboard the ship. Orion asked why Megatron lied, but the con leader stated that Starscream as &amp;quot;dead&amp;quot; to their cause for joining the Autobots. However, Starscream&#039;s visit caused Orion to uncover the truth and find out that he was infact Optimus Prime, the so called leader of the Autobot &amp;quot;invaders&amp;quot;. Soundwave notified Megatron of Orion finding information on Optimus Prime and Megatron realized that harsher methods would be necessary to complete [[Project Iacon]]. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron payed Orion a visit to expose Orion&#039;s findings. Orion demanded to know the full truth but Megatron refused, this caused Orion to delete his findings. However Soundwave had in fact recorded his finding&#039;s and the data was saved who informed Megatron of activity at the space bridge and went there to find the Autobots had taken control of it. Also one of their [[Insecticon (Prime)|traps]] on Cybertron was activated. Megatron ordered the guards to watch Orion while he went out and threaded to kill the archivist if he had not completed the project if he did not complete it. Megatron realized that the Autobot&#039;s must of been searching for a way to restore Orion to Optimus. He arrived to the space bridge and defeated the trio who were there, and waited for Arcee to return through the open space bridge with the expected Matrix. However in the meantime Orion had overpowered his guards and came to attack Megatron. Orion declared his loyalty to the Autobot&#039;s, pulled out his blades (one of which was &#039;&#039;still&#039;&#039; broken) and attacked Megatron but was no match for him, but while the Decepticon leader was subsequently kept busy by Arcee, Jack returned the Matrix to Orion, who regained his memory and left with the Autobots, leaving Megatron screaming furiously at his failure. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilers|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1|March 17, 2012}}&lt;br /&gt;
Following the first of the coordinates left by Orion, Megatron and his men unearthed the [[spark extractor|Spark Extractor]]. Unfortunately while Megatron was taking it back through the GroundBridge, it was taken from him by Bumblebee. He was &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; unhappy and began to regret only taking to scouts vocal processor and not his life but Soundwave reminded him of the other two sets of coordinates with weapons. He then ordered Knock Out and Breakdown to retrieve another artifact before Bulkhead and Bumblebee did. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;

They had barely planted the first bomb when they were spotted and fired on. After the other three Decepticons were shot down, Megatron gave Soundwave a bomb and set about causing a distraction while his second-in-command went to plant it.

===&#039;&#039;Transformers: War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice actor&#039;&#039;: [[Fred Tatasciore]] (English), [[Oliviero Corbetta]] (Italian), [[Juan Carlos Lozano]] (Spain-Spanish)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC_Megatron.jpg|thumb|350px|He wants the whooole wooorld, in his hand!]]&lt;br /&gt;
During the early war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatron found reference to an energy source called [[Dark Energon]], which had impressive potential as a weapon, and became determined to claim it for himself. One of the few places it was made was in a station in orbit around Cybertron, guarded by a politically neutral force led by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. With this knowledge, he took a ship and launched an assault on the station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ship was badly damaged in the attack, and so he ordered [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]] and [[Brawl (WFC)| Brawl]], piloting it, to ram the station.  He and many of his soldiers survived the impact and escaped the core&#039;s detonation. They were then confronted by Starscream, who informed them that they would not allow them to take what he had guarded for ten thousand years.  After surviving a trap of sentry guns, Megatron, Barricade, and Brawl were reinforced by more of Megatron&#039;s troops, and set out on their way to find the station&#039;s Dark Energon stores and claim them for the war effort.  They encountered significant resistance, but managed to shoot their way through, with directional aid from [[Soundwave (Prime)| Soundwave]].  Barricade noted that the station itself seemed quite primitive; Megatron noted it was very old, and that he intended to modernize it...  At one point, the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] confronted Megatron nonviolently, asking him to give up his quest, as Dark Energon would result in only horror, death, and destruction, to which Megatron sneered, &amp;quot;You say that as if it were a bad thing.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC-MegatronmeetsStarscream.jpg|left|thumb|300px|At last we meet, my punching bag.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along their way to the Dark Energon, they found that a large portion of the station had been blasted clean off, the debris field traversable but sparse enough to allow easy viewing of Cybertron itself. Soundwave soon found records indicating that a small amount of Dark Energon lost containment and was the sole cause of the destruction, underscoring Megatron&#039;s desire for it.  When Barricade asked how he expected to control it when no other had, Megatron said that such power was only for the strong, that he was the strongest, and not to question him again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When they finally reached the storage chamber, and Megatron averted Starscream&#039;s destruction of it, he calmly entered into a container full of raw Dark Energon, while Starscream watched and gloated at his imminent destruction...only for him to walk out, not only unscathed, but crackling with power, which he further bestowed upon Barricade and Brawl. A single blast of Dark Energon was enough to destroy an entire company of station security forces, the last line of defense between Megatron and Starscream and his companions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jetfire again tried to warn Megatron about the dangers of Dark Energon, but Starscream interrupted, asking to join the Decepticon leader. Megatron asked what Starscream could offer that he could not simply take. Starscream revealed the station&#039;s supply of Dark Energon was almost spent, and he knew how to manufacture more—and as luck would have it, there was a dormant [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] which could be used to power it. Jetfire retreated to inform [[Sentinel Zeta Prime| Zeta Prime]]; Megatron let him go, seeming pleased by the notion of letting the Autobots tremble in advance of their actions, and sent Starscream, [[Thundercracker (WFC)| Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (WFC)| Skywarp]] to activate the bridge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron repeatedly mocked what he perceived as Starscream&#039;s slowness in his simple mission, but the Seeker did what he said he could.  With a steady supply of Dark Energon, Megatron launched an attack on Iacon City, intending to take a device called the [[Omega Key]] and use it to enter the Core of Cybertron. This time, he took [[Breakdown (Prime)| Breakdown]] and Soundwave with him. The trio took the less-guarded way in—which, since the Autobots were not complete fools (as even Megatron would admit), still had significant military presence. During the attack, Starscream noted that Dark Energon was proving every bit as potent as Megatron had promised. Breakdown let Megatron know of his misgivings about the Sky Commander; Megatron admitted he was treacherous and untrustworthy, but he had useful talents, and his cunning and ambition was intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Omega Key had been taken from its normal resting place, however, by Autobot leader Zeta Prime, and so Megatron took his squad on an assault on Zeta&#039;s headquarters.  They met Brawl, leading an attack on the doors to Zeta Prime&#039;s armory, along the way.  Even Megatron&#039;s touch of Dark Energon could not breach the vault doors, however, and so he called in [[Dark Energon Bombers]]. When they were shot down, Brawl suggested they take out the Autobots&#039; air defense guns, after which bombers were called in again; Megatron&#039;s troops then held off a massive assault from what seemed like the entire Autobot army while waiting for the bombing run to finally arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC Megatron Vs ZetaPrime.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Zeta Prime, you might be more egotistical than me. I mean really, a huge holographic version of you and smaller holograms doing what you can&#039;t do without your pointy stick thing?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the vault doors were breached, they reached Zeta Prime himself, who had constructed several layers of security while he waited.  An invincible energy field protected him, while he could drop portions of the ceiling with pistons to crush anything beneath them, and construct endless holographic clones of himself outfitted for melee combat, which Megatron personally found nauseating.  However, his defenses were not without flaw: periodically, the power core would need to disperse waste heat, and Megatron&#039;s team survived long enough to destroy it during this stage.  Zeta fell, buried under the wreckage of his own defenses, and Megatron took the device he&#039;d carried...which started to make electronic chirping noises.  Zeta, with black humor, noted that the device was not the Omega Key.  It merely &#039;&#039;activated&#039;&#039; the Key, which would come to them... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Searching for the Key in the skies aboard another ship, Megatron, with Soundwave and Breakdown at the controls, were abruptly confronted by a massive ship, [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]], who knocked them out of the sky, causing them to crash back in Iacon. There, they played a cat-and-mouse campaign in a desperate attempt to survive the enormous Autobot&#039;s vast firepower, though Soundwave noted that the weaponry they bore had little chance of penetrating Omega Supreme&#039;s armor.  Megatron, for his part, at least contrived to appear unafraid, claiming that if it came to a real fight, the brute wouldn&#039;t stand a chance against Megatron&#039;s intellect.  However, Omega&#039;s attacks drove them underground and left them unable to immediately transmit counter to Starscream, who declared Megatron dead and announced he was taking control.  Even when they re-established contact, Starscream&#039;s aerial forces only briefly distracted Omega, who dispensed large numbers of troops, sucked up Decepticons with a tractor beam, fired weapons of mass destruction, and mined the roads Megatron and his squad were using.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave, however, had come up with a suggestion—there were weapons emplacements higher up that had the ability to damage Omega Supreme.  Taking them from the Autobots was a battle in and of itself, but nothing compared to the fight against Omega Supreme, who could unload entire squadrons of Aerialbots.  Nonetheless, Megatron&#039;s boldness and tactical acumen finally shot Omega Supreme out of the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFC-hearmynameandtremble.jpg|left|thumb|300px|I stand on your crotch!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloating, Megatron found that the behemoth was still not defeated, and indeed was drawing power from Cybertron itself to repair his systems, making him stronger, if anything.  However, by corrupting the energon batteries with which he was using to feed himself with Dark Energon charges, they were able to weaken him to the point where they could finally blast away his last defenses and brought him to heel.  With Omega Supreme defeated, Megatron went underground, directly to the Core, and corrupted it with a massive infusion of Dark Energon, finally bringing Cybertron itself more completely under his control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, Megatron was clearly convinced, and for good reason, that he&#039;d won, making propaganda broadcasts extolling his greatness and how he had taken away the Autobots&#039; burdens of &amp;quot;liberty&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;choice&amp;quot;.  When Starscream was defeated and the Decagon retaken, however, he realized the Autobots were not yet going to roll over for him, and sent a distress signal from Zeta Prime, whom he had kept alive in the Kaon prison camp, in order to provoke a rescue attempt from the Autobots.  His old acquaintance Optimus took the bait, and Megatron confronted him, telling him that the war could be over tomorrow if Optimus took the Autobots and left.  Optimus refused, so Megatron consigned him and his team to the prisons.  When they managed to stage a mass breakout, an enraged Megatron ordered his troops to prevent their escape at any cost, to the point of tearing apart portions of Kaon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was not enough, however, and they escaped, journeying to the Core, where they kickstarted the cleansing of Megatron&#039;s corruption.  Doing so, however, would take the Core millions of years of shutdown, rendering Cybertron uninhabitable.  Whether Megatron knew this or not, when he saw the Autobots leaving after Optimus&#039;s refusal of his earlier offer, he apparently took offense.  His earlier plans of renovating Starscream&#039;s station had come to fruition; now, it mounted a powerful superweapon, capable of destroying entire structures in one shot.  He had it fire upon the Autobot transports as they left.  When a team of Aerialbots attempted to disable or destroy it, he called Jetfire, now one of them, and taunted him about his past.  He further mocked them when they destroyed the plasma coolant system without apparently having accounted for backups.  Finally, during the attack he came into possession of information on Optimus Prime&#039;s location, and ordered Trypticon—the name of the weapon, for it was actually a Cybertronian—to fire upon it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trypticon, however, was forced into his natural form and defeated after he crash-landed on Cybertron.  Megatron&#039;s reaction to this went unrecorded. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Transformers: War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; (DS)===&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron was the Decepticon Leader during the final days of the Great War. After capturing an Autobot facility, and killing a cadet, Megatron revealed his plan to his troops. Megatron intended to conquer Trypticon Space Station, which had the means and power to manufacture Dark Energon: a variant of Energon which greatly increased the stamina and strength of its host. Megatron fought his way through the station to its commander, the Autobot Starscream. Upon Starscream&#039;s defeat, Starscream offered his services and the Dark Energon if he was spared. Megatron agreed, and Starscream joined the Decepticons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a test run of the Dark Energon in Kaon Prison, Soundwave deduced the element would only kill the host, but Starscream was able to find a way to fix it. Megatron then decided the time was right, and led his army to the inner levels of Cybertron. He was able to activate the uplink to channel energy from the Core of Cybertron itself to Trypticon Station, but he needed the Omega Key to access it once it was shut down with a firewall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:WFCDS Defeat Omega Supreme.jpg|thumb|left|256px|Simple enough... OH GOD BULLETS.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron learned through a recording from Laserbeak that Autobot Leader Zeta Prime had the Omega Key in his possession and had holed up deep within Iacon. Megatron led a full-scale assault on the city, totally devastating Iacon, until he found Zeta Prime at last. After a hard battle, Zeta fell, and Megatron obtained the Omega Key. However, immediately upon taking it, alarms went off, and Iacon itself was shaking. Zeta Prime, despite being mortally wounded, laughed at Megatron&#039;s face, saying the Omega Key was only the key to the &#039;&#039;true&#039;&#039; key: the city-sized Autobot Omega Supreme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Omega immediately attacked the victorious Decepticons, and quickly decimated their presence in Iacon, save for Megatron&#039;s team and a few others. By this point, Megatron was absolutely furious at Starscream: Megatron declared it was he who led them to Omega Supreme and the devastating onslaught he carried out. Starscream bitterly retorted even if Megatron killed him, Omega Supreme would still be out for his blood, helping nothing whatsoever. Megatron angrily let it go for the time being, and led his army to battle. His troops&#039; confidence beginning to falter, Megatron declared they would either be kicking themselves for not acting for the rest of their lives, or heroes in a historic event. His men followed him to battle Omega, and the titan fell. Megatron was free to corrupt the Core of Cybertron with Dark Energon, and obtain near-supremacy of Cybertron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That kind of went downhill when the new Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, extinguished the Dark Energon and destroyed Trypticon Space Station, didn&#039;t it?&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Voice actor&#039;&#039;: [[Fred Tatasciore]] (English), [[Oliviero Corbetta]] (Italian)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early in the war, when the Autobots learned of the existence of the orbiting superweapon [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]], Megatron sent waves of Decepticon forces to keep them from discovering more about it. Megatron, happy to see the destruction Trypticon was creating, ordered Starscream and Skywarp at gunpoint to return to Trypticon and clean up after it, while he took his troops into battle to scour the area for Autobots to kill. Few Autobots other than the medic, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]], were spared Megatron&#039;s initial assault.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron found out that Starscream had left his post at Trypticon, Megatron grew angry. But the Autobots had infiltrated the [[Datacore]], so Megatron focused his efforts there instead. Bumblebee was captured, and information useful for the taking of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] was pulled from his mind. Megatron assigned Skywarp the task of the initial Iacon assault. The traitorous Starscream returned to Megatron&#039;s focus, and the Air Commander was ordered to infiltrate the Core of Cybertron to reactivate the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]]. But Starscream took too long, discovering Megatron had already reached the Core by the time he arrived. In a foul mood, Megatron would test Starscream&#039;s loyalty by putting him on the Iacon assault&#039;s front lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The assault went as planned, and Iacon crumbled. As Barricade and Starscream reached an empty Council Chamber, Megatro alerted them to the evacuation of the surviving Autobots. Three Autobot ships positioned themselves to escape, and so Megatron ordered Thundercracker and Skywarp to take them down.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Iacon fell, the Trypticon orbiting superweapon was destroyed by the Autobots... but not before Megatron ripped the datacore from its brain so as to salvage its information on Dark Energon. Megatron was pleased. Despite his loss, he still had the upper hand. {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Cybertronian Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: clear purple missile, fusion cannon&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy is based on Megatron&#039;s appearance in the video game &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, transforming into a Cybertronian self-propelled gun.  The treads of his vehicle can be positioned in either a vertical configuration like a traditional tank or in a horizontal, hovertank configuration.  Megatron&#039;s spring-loaded cannon can attach to either arm. He also has an insignia on his back, but unlike Optimus, his is not hidden by kibble.  Like [[Soundwave (Prime)|&#039;&#039;War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; Soundwave]], his head has a light-piping gimmick that has been neutered by his painted eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Some units of the figure have Megatron&#039;s left internal shoulder strut misassembled, preventing that side of the tank-mode from becoming properly flush to the body when transforming. This can be corrected by unscrewing and separating the outer shoulder structure, flipping the strut 180 degrees, and reassembling the shoulder covering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Also, the packaging image for his tank mode is flipped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was [[redeco]]ed into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers United|United]]&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (G1)/toys#United|Megatron Cybertron Mode]] and [[Darkside Megatron]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Primetoy-MegatronEP.jpg|right|thumb|300px|His jet mode needs a little scarf attached to the robot head.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime vs Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (First Edition 5 figure gift set, 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: [[Fusion cannon]]&lt;br /&gt;
: This Deluxe-Class version of Megatron transforms into his alien ship mode. He comes with his Fusion Cannon, which can either be held with his hands in robot mode, or peg onto his jet mode by folding the handle in and pegging it behind his exposed, peeking head. It is also in this latter configuration for the cannon that the otherwise useless groove and tab on the cannon and its handle can be pegged onto the tab and otherwise useless socket on his right arm, giving him the classic, arm-mounted, yet &#039;&#039;strangely undocumented&#039;&#039; Fusion Cannon configuration shown in his [[stock photography]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Speaking of undocumented features, his [[instructions]] show a noticeably different &amp;quot;completed&amp;quot; vehicle mode when compared to his stock photos. Specifically, the instructions completely neglect the extra steps to flip his wings out and form a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] vehicle mode, opting instead for a more slender, wingless vehicle mode. To achieve this undocumented form, his underside leg panels must be opened, flipped around and over to the top of the ship, be pegged onto a tab on the side of his intakes, and his pointy wingtips must be flipped out from underneath. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also has some clearance issues when transforming. His intakes and the panel that surrounds his head in vehicle mode tend to collide when the intakes are snugly angled into and out of the panel, often resulting in the intakes popping off the (detachable) plastic hinges that they&#039;re on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also comes somewhat mis-transformed in the package, with the positions of the intakes and the panel on his back being switched around, with the panel being placed &#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039; the intakes, instead of &#039;&#039;before&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He comes with a similarly-scaled [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] and PVC figurines of [[Miko Nakadai]], [[Jack Darby]] and [[Raf Esquivel]], as well as a DVD of the &amp;quot;Series Premiere&amp;quot; episode &amp;quot;[[Masters &amp;amp; Students]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: The Japanese release of Deluxe class Megatron was packaged by itself on a card. The instructions show the proper vehicle mode, how to attach his fusion canon to his arm, and the figure is transformed correctly in the box.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Cyber sword&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
: This Cyberverse scaled Megatron is cast partly in translucent plastic so that the toy can be lit using the electronic lights featured in the larger playsets.  He also comes with a translucent &amp;quot;cyber sword&amp;quot; weapon and a pack-in file card.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Cannon&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Combat Claw&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
: Like the Cyberverse version, this Megatron has a fair amount of translucent purple plastic in the torso and forearms, and a similar general design to his other &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; toys of the line in both modes, although the plastic is a little more matte than in the stock photo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with two weapons; the arm cannon is a MechTech-like weapon, where pushing a plunger at the back swings two blades out from either side and pushes a third one forward, combining to make a larger one below the cannon&#039;s mouth. At the same time, a red LED swings out and activates, shining through the plastic blades. The cannon can be mounted on either arm, either in the classic elbow port or from one on the wrist, and the blade can be locked in place by manually swinging the blades out while holding the plunger back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also comes with a combat claw, which mounts on the wrist point on either hand and has a piece which rests in the hand to appear more as if it&#039;s being held. The claw can also be mounted in front of the cannon, which does not interfere with the cannon&#039;s blade gimmick. Both weapons can also be stored on the back when not in use, and it is possible to trigger the cannon&#039;s LED gimmick and lock it on while on the back without unfolding the blade much, resulting in the LED shining through and making the inner chest glow red.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The [[stock photo]] to the right has his vehicle mode mis-transformed. His treads are left almost untransformed as his arms, but with his hands folded inside the treads, and the top panel on his left shoulder hasn&#039;t been rotated and pegged between his shoulders/tank front. His robot mode is also mis-transformed, with his back panel not being pegged into his back and being left hanging behind his thighs.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Tfprimemegatronjet.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Too fast for screen caps.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*As revealed in [[One Shall Rise,Part 3]], Megatron used to have blue optics.&lt;br /&gt;
*Megatron&#039;s designation as an energon miner was &amp;quot;D-16&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=7fd5ecd9-19b9-f369-1041-a7635be83172 War for Cybertron timeline].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Megatron&#039;s original [[Japanese ID number list|Japanese ID number]] was &amp;quot;16&amp;quot;. Takara would eventually change the numbering system using a &amp;quot;D&amp;quot; to denote [[Decepticon|Destrons]]. So Megatron&#039;s Japanese ID number could retroactively be considered &amp;quot;D-16&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*In &#039;&#039;Transformers: War for Cybertron&#039;&#039;, Megatron has multiple glitches when controlled by the computer, among them shrinking (quite hilariously), losing his Fusion Cannon, and having his Tank mode cannon stick straight up (also humorous). He may be the most glitchy character in the game.&lt;br /&gt;
*Optimus Prime&#039;s recollections in &#039;&#039;Darkness Rising&#039;&#039; have him and Megatron fighting side-by-side at the start of the Great War. This is the first time a Megatron has been involved in a Great War that he &#039;&#039;didn&#039;t&#039;&#039; start, never mind one where he used to be a goodie.&lt;br /&gt;
*The show design of this version of Megatron takes visual cues from both G1 (the ever-famous [[Megatron (G1)| buckethead]] and lower legs resembling a pistol&#039;s handgrip) and [[Megatron (Movie)|the Movie version]] of the Decepticon leader (the sharp angles and bits on his shoulders, along with two-toed feet and a demonic-looking face with sharp teeth), even including the jet mode the latter version appeared in.&lt;br /&gt;
*The &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; staff used the same rationale that Megatron would not scan an Earth mode out of disgust at humans.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/botcon-2010-transformers-prime-panel-coverage-170054/ BotCon 2010 Transformers Prime Panel Coverage]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; According to Cybertronian Megatron&#039;s packaging bio, Megatron often changes his altmode, probably in an attempt to explain why he&#039;s a tank in the game and a jet in the cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;
*At a video shown at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, Welker explained his &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; voice for Megatron would be mostly toned down from his Generation 1 counterpart, to give the character more range.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/san-diego-comic-con-33/transformers-prime---peter-cullen--frank-welker-behind-the-scenes-170264/ Transformers Prime - Peter Cullen &amp;amp; Frank Welker Behind the Scenes] TFW2005&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When the show aired, Megatron indeed had a more quiet, sinister version of his voice than the iconic shouty one.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Do you have a quote of Sentinel being specifically mentioned in the comic? I don&#039;t remember anything past the uni scene. While the original thirteen were killed by the Fallen in the comic and novel, there&#039;s nothing to confirm Sentinel wasn&#039;t a descendant like Optimus. Again, correct me if I&#039;m wrong[[User:Eire]] 20.14 Oct 12 09 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;See, if you break down the elemental components of energon and assume a constant decay rate then extrapolate for each of the fourteen galactic convergences it took &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Sentinel Prime&#039;s&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; expedition to get an echo you end up with a formula for inter-dimensional energy that mass and light alone can&#039;t &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;possibly&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; explain.&amp;quot; - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 17:28, 12 October 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::Erm ok, thanks for the quote Starfield, anyway, Jetfire explained in the adaptations that The Fallen returned to Cybertron, after the battle with the first generation for Earth, slaughtering all the Primes except for the child hidden from him (Optimus). Unless Sentinel is revealed to be alive in TF3, which is unlikely considering this was not mentioned in the final edit of ROTF, then he probably died because of The Fallen. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] 17:57, 12 October 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Starfield, I actually wanted the answer Alientraveller gave. I&#039;m well aware of Sentinel&#039;s existence in the movieverse, but I just couldn&#039;t remember a reference in issue 3 [[User:Eire]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;quot;the fourteen galactic convergences it took &#039;&#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039;&#039; Sentinel Prime expedition to&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;quot;The&amp;quot;, and no possessive.&lt;br /&gt;
::Look, &#039;&#039;&#039;I&#039;&#039;&#039; think it&#039;s the leader of the 7/12/13 too... but the phrasing in the movie itself (which I just checked on, er... Youtube) &#039;&#039;&#039;isn&#039;t&#039;&#039;&#039; clear-cut enough to even say for certain that Sentinel Prime is an individual-- let alone that he&#039;s one of the 12!  The phrasing is just... ambiguous, and the timeline is a godawful mess thanks to ROTF&#039;s 17,000 years retcon, and questions of whether the 13 in the movie are &#039;&#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039;&#039; 13 or not.  (They&#039;re not.  I mean... the movie fucking cut them down to 7.  But until something official comes through to make it certain... it&#039;s just a collosal brain-ache that makes logical inference almost impossible.)&lt;br /&gt;
::Now... I &#039;&#039;thought&#039;&#039; that something... (a book or video game?) mentioned movieverse Sentinel Prime in a clearer light, but if so... it was around the time we were swamped with new stuff, and the ref never got documented.  Does this sound familiar to anyone else?&lt;br /&gt;
::I have checked the following sources, and they do &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; mention Sentinel Prime in a helpful manner:&lt;br /&gt;
::*ROTF novelization (quote same as movie, with an added bit at the end.  Nothing from Jetfire&#039;s history lesson or the Infinite White.)&lt;br /&gt;
::*The Movie Universe guidebook.  No mention of Sentinel Prime by name&lt;br /&gt;
::-[[User:Derik|Derik]] 23:59, 12 October 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::The first time I heard Sentinel mentioned was in the movie. And the Sentinel Prime expedition. You&#039;d be forgiven for presuming, and really there&#039;s no reason not too, it was named after the Prime in charge. And given the massively different origin of the Primes in the movie compared to the adaptations, it seems again logical that he&#039;s simple a predecessor of Optimus, not one of the original Primes. There is some assumptions being made, however they are logical assumptions. IF you&#039;re concerned, throw in a note at the bottom. Personally, I think it&#039;s a bit of an assumption that Sentinel in the comics is one of the original Primes, but I can see why AT put it the way he did [[User:Eire]] 13.35 Oct 13 09 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

So, he decided to get a role on Dark of the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
His audition was successful. All he needed to do was change his alternate mode to make sure nobody knew it was him.&lt;br /&gt;
When the moment was right he could get revenge on Optimus(For stealing his fifteen stellar cycles of fame).&lt;br /&gt;

== Decepticon Or Not==&lt;br /&gt;
Since the movie&#039;s out on DVD and Blueray now I&#039;m putting it out in the open: Why aren&#039;t we putting Sentinel as a Decepticon. I  know the last time it was discussed someone mentioned how he reffered to himself as &amp;quot;true leader of the Autobots&amp;quot; and someone else said he seemed disgusted at making a deal with the cons. BUT despite this the way I see it he not only joined up with the Decepticons, he pretty much took complete CONTROL over them. The reason we see Megatron sulking when Carly comes up to him is because Sentinel took over his forces; Sentinel&#039;s giving the orders. Sentinel also wouldn&#039;t be the first turncoat to claim to keep his own faction (and this doesn&#039;t even happen in the movie as I recall) but have the wiki still label him the opposite; Armada Starscream was considered by both himself AND his new allies to be a con is still listed as an Autobot for the four or so eps he was with them.

:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;NO.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:But you raise a good question.  Why &#039;&#039;do&#039;&#039; we have an Autobot symbol on Armada Starscream&#039;s page? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think he should count as a Con.Yes he only allied himself with them and then pretty much took them over and &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;still&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; called himself an Autobot,but he should have a Con symbole.I mean G1 Starscream has a Predacon symbole even if he was a Pred for &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;episode&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; of beast wars.And the North American version of the Headmasters and Targetmaster are Nebulans who allied themselves with the different transformers factions and still got the faction symboles of whichever side they where with.Just look at Vorath for example,it says Decepticon-&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;allied&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Nebulan. --[[User:Gamemaster|Gamemaster]] 22:07, 15 December 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No he&#039;s not a Decepticon.  He just allies with them against the other Autobots.  He doesn&#039;t actually join the Decepticon club and geta  membership card or anything.   In the Marvel UK Comics Carnivac turned against the Decepticons but he clearly refused membership in the Autobots despite staying with them.  Sentinel is an Autobot traitor but that doesn&#039;t automatically qualify him to be a Decepticon. [[Special:Contributions/82.27.5.237|82.27.5.237]] 08:18, 30 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

I guess everyone already knows this, but should we mention in the notes section that Sentinel&#039;s sword-thing and sheiled are a reference to Sentinel Prime from Transformers: Animated? It might actually just be a coincidence, but I think it was done on purpose.[[User:XxxOUTBURSTxxx|XxxOUTBURSTxxx]] 20:13, 14 March 2012 (EDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;Do you have a quote of Sentinel being specifically mentioned in the comic? I don&#039;t remember anything past the uni scene. While the original thirteen were killed by the Fallen in the comic and novel, there&#039;s nothing to confirm Sentinel wasn&#039;t a descendant like Optimus. Again, correct me if I&#039;m wrong[[User:Eire]] 20.14 Oct 12 09 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

::Erm ok, thanks for the quote Starfield, anyway, Jetfire explained in the adaptations that The Fallen returned to Cybertron, after the battle with the first generation for Earth, slaughtering all the Primes except for the child hidden from him (Optimus). Unless Sentinel is revealed to be alive in TF3, which is unlikely considering this was not mentioned in the final edit of ROTF, then he probably died because of The Fallen.

::Look, &#039;&#039;&#039;I&#039;&#039;&#039; think it&#039;s the leader of the 7/12/13 too... but the phrasing in the movie itself (which I just checked on, er... Youtube) &#039;&#039;&#039;isn&#039;t&#039;&#039;&#039; clear-cut enough to even say for certain that Sentinel Prime is an individual-- let alone that he&#039;s one of the 12!  The phrasing is just... ambiguous, and the timeline is a godawful mess thanks to ROTF&#039;s 17,000 years retcon, and questions of whether the 13 in the movie are &#039;&#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039;&#039; 13 or not.  (They&#039;re not.  I mean... the movie fucking cut them down to 7.  But until something official comes through to make it certain... it&#039;s just a collosal brain-ache that makes logical inference almost impossible.)&lt;br /&gt;
::Now... I &#039;&#039;thought&#039;&#039; that something... (a book or video game?) mentioned movieverse Sentinel Prime in a clearer light, but if so... it was around the time we were swamped with new stuff, and the ref never got documented.  Does this sound familiar to anyone else?&lt;br /&gt;

:::The first time I heard Sentinel mentioned was in the movie. And the Sentinel Prime expedition. You&#039;d be forgiven for presuming, and really there&#039;s no reason not too, it was named after the Prime in charge. And given the massively different origin of the Primes in the movie compared to the adaptations, it seems again logical that he&#039;s simple a predecessor of Optimus, not one of the original Primes. There is some assumptions being made, however they are logical assumptions. IF you&#039;re concerned, throw in a note at the bottom. Personally, I think it&#039;s a bit of an assumption that Sentinel in the comics is one of the original Primes, but I can see why AT put it the way he did [[User:Eire]] 13.35 Oct 13 09 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

So, he decided to get a role on Dark of the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
His audition was successful. All he needed to do was change his alternate mode to make sure nobody knew it was him.&lt;br /&gt;
When the moment was right he could get revenge on Optimus(For stealing his fifteen stellar cycles of fame).&lt;br /&gt;
However,on set he was killed. And it was caught on film!&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s just say there is more than meets the eye with Sentinel.&lt;br /&gt;

Is there a particular meaning or significance to the number 316 on SP&#039;s vehicle mode?

::While that is a meaning for 316, I&#039;m not sure if it is relevant here.

He or she could have meant it that way, but I&#039;d like official confirmation.--[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 20:13, 13 July 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::You&#039;re right; John 3:16 may be the most widely known association for the number, but it doesn&#039;t seem to fit here. It&#039;s not a biblical verse that&#039;s particularly relevant to the story of this Sentinel Prime... If they were going for biblical references I&#039;d expect something about a deal with the devil or about the ends justifying the means, something related to the DotM plot.

== Decepticon Or Not==&lt;br /&gt;
Since the movie&#039;s out on DVD and Blueray now I&#039;m putting it out in the open: Why aren&#039;t we putting Sentinel as a Decepticon. I  know the last time it was discussed someone mentioned how he reffered to himself as &amp;quot;true leader of the Autobots&amp;quot; and someone else said he seemed disgusted at making a deal with the cons. BUT despite this the way I see it he not only joined up with the Decepticons, he pretty much took complete CONTROL over them. The reason we see Megatron sulking when Carly comes up to him is because Sentinel took over his forces; Sentinel&#039;s giving the orders. Sentinel also wouldn&#039;t be the first turncoat to claim to keep his own faction (and this doesn&#039;t even happen in the movie as I recall) but have the wiki still label him the opposite; Armada Starscream was considered by both himself AND his new allies to be a con is still listed as an Autobot for the four or so eps he was with them. I would even go so far as to say Sentinel can be considered a Decepticon Leader all things considered.--[[User:BlackStarscream|BlackStarscream]] 13:44, 30 September 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;NO.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:But you raise a good question.  Why &#039;&#039;do&#039;&#039; we have an Autobot symbol on Armada Starscream&#039;s page? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think he should count as a Con.Yes he only allied himself with them and then pretty much took them over and &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;still&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; called himself an Autobot,but he should have a Con symbole.I mean G1 Starscream has a Predacon symbole even if he was a Pred for &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;episode&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; of beast wars.And the North American version of the Headmasters and Targetmaster are Nebulans who allied themselves with the different transformers factions and still got the faction symboles of whichever side they where with.Just look at Vorath for example,it says Decepticon-&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;allied&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Nebulan. --[[User:Gamemaster|Gamemaster]] 22:07, 15 December 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No he&#039;s not a Decepticon.  He just allies with them against the other Autobots.  He doesn&#039;t actually join the Decepticon club and geta  membership card or anything.   In the Marvel UK Comics Carnivac turned against the Decepticons but he clearly refused membership in the Autobots despite staying with them.  Sentinel is an Autobot traitor but that doesn&#039;t automatically qualify him to be a Decepticon. [[Special:Contributions/82.27.5.237|82.27.5.237]] 08:18, 30 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Do you have a quote of Sentinel being specifically mentioned in the comic? I don&#039;t remember anything past the uni scene. While the original thirteen were killed by the Fallen in the comic and novel, there&#039;s nothing to confirm Sentinel wasn&#039;t a descendant like Optimus. Again, correct me if I&#039;m wrong[[User:Eire]] 20.14 Oct 12 09 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;See, if you break down the elemental components of energon and assume a constant decay rate then extrapolate for each of the fourteen galactic convergences it took &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Sentinel Prime&#039;s&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; expedition to get an echo you end up with a formula for inter-dimensional energy that mass and light alone can&#039;t &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;possibly&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; explain.&amp;quot; - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 17:28, 12 October 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::Erm ok, thanks for the quote Starfield, anyway, Jetfire explained in the adaptations that The Fallen returned to Cybertron, after the battle with the first generation for Earth, slaughtering all the Primes except for the child hidden from him (Optimus). Unless Sentinel is revealed to be alive in TF3, which is unlikely considering this was not mentioned in the final edit of ROTF, then he probably died because of The Fallen.

::Look, &#039;&#039;&#039;I&#039;&#039;&#039; think it&#039;s the leader of the 7/12/13 too... but the phrasing in the movie itself (which I just checked on, er... Youtube) &#039;&#039;&#039;isn&#039;t&#039;&#039;&#039; clear-cut enough to even say for certain that Sentinel Prime is an individual-- let alone that he&#039;s one of the 12!  The phrasing is just... ambiguous, and the timeline is a godawful mess thanks to ROTF&#039;s 17,000 years retcon, and questions of whether the 13 in the movie are &#039;&#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039;&#039; 13 or not.  (They&#039;re not.  I mean... the movie fucking cut them down to 7.  But until something official comes through to make it certain... it&#039;s just a collosal brain-ache that makes logical inference almost impossible.)&lt;br /&gt;
::Now... I &#039;&#039;thought&#039;&#039; that something... (a book or video game?) mentioned movieverse Sentinel Prime in a clearer light, but if so... it was around the time we were swamped with new stuff, and the ref never got documented.  Does this sound familiar to anyone else?&lt;br /&gt;

:::The first time I heard Sentinel mentioned was in the movie. And the Sentinel Prime expedition. You&#039;d be forgiven for presuming, and really there&#039;s no reason not too, it was named after the Prime in charge. And given the massively different origin of the Primes in the movie compared to the adaptations, it seems again logical that he&#039;s simple a predecessor of Optimus, not one of the original Primes. There is some assumptions being made, however they are logical assumptions. IF you&#039;re concerned, throw in a note at the bottom. Personally, I think it&#039;s a bit of an assumption that Sentinel in the comics is one of the original Primes, but I can see why AT put it the way he did [[User:Eire]] 13.35 Oct 13 09 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Definitely not.  It might just be the way I interpreted his lines and mood but he seemed almost disgusted that he felt he had to make a deal with the Decepticons to save Cybertron.

Hey, I thought he was BIG jerk too.(Never seen the movie though.)&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe Sentinel(TFA) wanted to get revenge on Optimus(TFA).&lt;br /&gt;
So, he decided to get a role on Dark of the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
His audition was successful. All he needed to do was change his alternate mode to make sure nobody knew it was him.&lt;br /&gt;
When the moment was right he could get revenge on Optimus(For stealing his fifteen stellar cycles of fame).&lt;br /&gt;
However,on set he was killed. And it was caught on film!&lt;br /&gt;

== Decepticon Or Not==&lt;br /&gt;
Since the movie&#039;s out on DVD and Blueray now I&#039;m putting it out in the open: Why aren&#039;t we putting Sentinel as a Decepticon. I  know the last time it was discussed someone mentioned how he reffered to himself as &amp;quot;true leader of the Autobots&amp;quot; and someone else said he seemed disgusted at making a deal with the cons. BUT despite this the way I see it he not only joined up with the Decepticons, he pretty much took complete CONTROL over them. The reason we see Megatron sulking when Carly comes up to him is because Sentinel took over his forces; Sentinel&#039;s giving the orders. Sentinel also wouldn&#039;t be the first turncoat to claim to keep his own faction (and this doesn&#039;t even happen in the movie as I recall) but have the wiki still label him the opposite; Armada Starscream was considered by both himself AND his new allies to be a con is still listed as an Autobot for the four or so eps he was with them. I would even go so far as to say Sentinel can be considered a Decepticon Leader all things considered.--[[User:BlackStarscream|BlackStarscream]] 13:44, 30 September 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;NO.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:But you raise a good question.  Why &#039;&#039;do&#039;&#039; we have an Autobot symbol on Armada Starscream&#039;s page? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think he should count as a Con.Yes he only allied himself with them and then pretty much took them over and &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;still&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; called himself an Autobot,but he should have a Con symbole.I mean G1 Starscream has a Predacon symbole even if he was a Pred for &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;episode&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; of beast wars.And the North American version of the Headmasters and Targetmaster are Nebulans who allied themselves with the different transformers factions and still got the faction symboles of whichever side they where with.Just look at Vorath for example,it says Decepticon-&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;allied&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Nebulan. --[[User:Gamemaster|Gamemaster]] 22:07, 15 December 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No he&#039;s not a Decepticon.  He just allies with them against the other Autobots.  He doesn&#039;t actually join the Decepticon club and geta  membership card or anything.   In the Marvel UK Comics Carnivac turned against the Decepticons but he clearly refused membership in the Autobots despite staying with them.  Sentinel is an Autobot traitor but that doesn&#039;t automatically qualify him to be a Decepticon. [[Special:Contributions/82.27.5.237|82.27.5.237]] 08:18, 30 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

:::The first time I heard Sentinel mentioned was in the movie. And the Sentinel Prime expedition. You&#039;d be forgiven for presuming, and really there&#039;s no reason not too, it was named after the Prime in charge. And given the massively different origin of the Primes in the movie compared to the adaptations, it seems again logical that he&#039;s simple a predecessor of Optimus, not one of the original Primes. There is some assumptions being made, however they are logical assumptions. IF you&#039;re concerned, throw in a note at the bottom.

Maybe Sentinel(TFA) wanted to get revenge on Optimus(TFA).&lt;br /&gt;
So, he decided to get a role on Dark of the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
His audition was successful. All he needed to do was change his alternate mode to make sure nobody knew it was him.&lt;br /&gt;
When the moment was right he could get revenge on Optimus(For stealing his fifteen stellar cycles of fame).&lt;br /&gt;
However,on set he was killed. And it was caught on film!&lt;br /&gt;

== Decepticon Or Not==&lt;br /&gt;
Since the movie&#039;s out on DVD and Blueray now I&#039;m putting it out in the open: Why aren&#039;t we putting Sentinel as a Decepticon. I  know the last time it was discussed someone mentioned how he reffered to himself as &amp;quot;true leader of the Autobots&amp;quot; and someone else said he seemed disgusted at making a deal with the cons. BUT despite this the way I see it he not only joined up with the Decepticons, he pretty much took complete CONTROL over them. The reason we see Megatron sulking when Carly comes up to him is because Sentinel took over his forces; Sentinel&#039;s giving the orders. Sentinel also wouldn&#039;t be the first turncoat to claim to keep his own faction (and this doesn&#039;t even happen in the movie as I recall) but have the wiki still label him the opposite; Armada Starscream was considered by both himself AND his new allies to be a con is still listed as an Autobot for the four or so eps he was with them. I would even go so far as to say Sentinel can be considered a Decepticon Leader all things considered.--[[User:BlackStarscream|BlackStarscream]] 13:44, 30 September 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;NO.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:But you raise a good question.  Why &#039;&#039;do&#039;&#039; we have an Autobot symbol on Armada Starscream&#039;s page? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think he should count as a Con.Yes he only allied himself with them and then pretty much took them over and &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;still&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; called himself an Autobot,but he should have a Con symbole.I mean G1 Starscream has a Predacon symbole even if he was a Pred for &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;episode&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; of beast wars.And the North American version of the Headmasters and Targetmaster are Nebulans who allied themselves with the different transformers factions and still got the faction symboles of whichever side they where with.Just look at Vorath for example,it says Decepticon-&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;allied&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Nebulan. --[[User:Gamemaster|Gamemaster]] 22:07, 15 December 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No he&#039;s not a Decepticon.  He just allies with them against the other Autobots.  He doesn&#039;t actually join the Decepticon club and geta  membership card or anything.   In the Marvel UK Comics Carnivac turned against the Decepticons but he clearly refused membership in the Autobots despite staying with them.  Sentinel is an Autobot traitor but that doesn&#039;t automatically qualify him to be a Decepticon. [[Special:Contributions/82.27.5.237|82.27.5.237]] 08:18, 30 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

I guess everyone already knows this, but should we mention in the notes section that Sentinel&#039;s sword-thing and sheiled are a reference to [[Sentinel Prime(Animated)]]? It might actually just be a coincidence, but I think it was done on purpose.[[User:XxxOUTBURSTxxx|XxxOUTBURSTxxx]] 20:13, 14 March 2012 (EDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;Do you have a quote of Sentinel being specifically mentioned in the comic? I don&#039;t remember anything past the uni scene. While the original thirteen were killed by the Fallen in the comic and novel, there&#039;s nothing to confirm Sentinel wasn&#039;t a descendant like Optimus. Again, correct me if I&#039;m wrong[[User:Eire]] 20.14 Oct 12 09 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

::Erm ok, thanks for the quote Starfield, anyway, Jetfire explained in the adaptations that The Fallen returned to Cybertron, after the battle with the first generation for Earth, slaughtering all the Primes except for the child hidden from him (Optimus). Unless Sentinel is revealed to be alive in TF3, which is unlikely considering this was not mentioned in the final edit of ROTF, then he probably died because of The Fallen.

:::Starfield, I actually wanted the answer Alientraveller gave. I&#039;m well aware of Sentinel&#039;s existence in the movieverse, but I just couldn&#039;t remember a reference in issue 3 [[User:Eire]]&lt;br /&gt;

::&amp;quot;The&amp;quot;, and no possessive.&lt;br /&gt;
::Look, &#039;&#039;&#039;I&#039;&#039;&#039; think it&#039;s the leader of the 7/12/13 too... but the phrasing in the movie itself (which I just checked on, er... Youtube) &#039;&#039;&#039;isn&#039;t&#039;&#039;&#039; clear-cut enough to even say for certain that Sentinel Prime is an individual-- let alone that he&#039;s one of the 12!  The phrasing is just... ambiguous, and the timeline is a godawful mess thanks to ROTF&#039;s 17,000 years retcon, and questions of whether the 13 in the movie are &#039;&#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039;&#039; 13 or not.  (They&#039;re not.  I mean... the movie fucking cut them down to 7.  But until something official comes through to make it certain... it&#039;s just a collosal brain-ache that makes logical inference almost impossible.)&lt;br /&gt;
::Now... I &#039;&#039;thought&#039;&#039; that something... (a book or video game?) mentioned movieverse Sentinel Prime in a clearer light, but if so... it was around the time we were swamped with new stuff, and the ref never got documented.  Does this sound familiar to anyone else?&lt;br /&gt;

:::The first time I heard Sentinel mentioned was in the movie. And the Sentinel Prime expedition. You&#039;d be forgiven for presuming, and really there&#039;s no reason not too, it was named after the Prime in charge. And given the massively different origin of the Primes in the movie compared to the adaptations, it seems again logical that he&#039;s simple a predecessor of Optimus, not one of the original Primes. There is some assumptions being made, however they are logical assumptions. IF you&#039;re concerned, throw in a note at the bottom. Personally, I think it&#039;s a bit of an assumption that Sentinel in the comics is one of the original Primes, but I can see why AT put it the way he did [[User:Eire]] 13.35 Oct 13 09 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

So, he decided to get a role on Dark of the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;

When the moment was right he could get revenge on Optimus(For stealing his fifteen stellar cycles of fame).&lt;br /&gt;

Seems lately like anything of that sort on a TF is an in-joke or reference (Wal-Mart &amp;quot;84&amp;quot; DotM Bumblebee, anyone?). I&#039;m in the dark on this one, though. -- [[User:Bobcat2022|Bobcat2022]] 23:46, 10 July 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:[[wikipedia: John 3:16]]  Stone Cold used to reference it back in the 90s, etc.  [[User:ShinRa Actual|ShinRa Actual]] 20:06, 13 July 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::While that is a meaning for 316, I&#039;m not sure if it is relevant here. Do you really think that the person who designed Sentinel Prime&#039;s deco was thinking of that when the number was selected? He or she could have meant it that way, but I&#039;d like official confirmation.--[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 20:13, 13 July 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::You&#039;re right; John 3:16 may be the most widely known association for the number, but it doesn&#039;t seem to fit here. It&#039;s not a biblical verse that&#039;s particularly relevant to the story of this Sentinel Prime... If they were going for biblical references I&#039;d expect something about a deal with the devil or about the ends justifying the means, something related to the DotM plot. Unless it&#039;s known that the designer(s) for SP is/are devout Christians/big pro wrestling fans? A Steve Austin joke is fine for a caption, but as yet the connection seems a bit tenuous for the wiki proper. -- [[User:Bobcat2022|Bobcat2022]] 15:39, 14 July 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::The Hasbro designers probably didn&#039;t known the film&#039;s twist so they innocently played up the Optimus/Jesus analogy with Sentinel as The Father, unaware he was just another Evil Mentor-type. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] 15:42, 14 July 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::Aren&#039;t the same numbers on his vehicle mode in the movie? --[[User:Abates|abates]] 15:52, 14 July 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

:Maybe it means he scanned № 316 fire truck. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 15:58, 14 July 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== Can we... ==&lt;br /&gt;
Can we add something about him being the Einstein of his civilisation? Something along the lines of &amp;quot;Sentinel was once known as the Einstein of his planet. That&#039;s not exactly wrong [[Wheeljack (Movie)|but...]] --[[Special:Contributions/82.39.157.220|82.39.157.220]] 12:32, 21 July 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Design Refrence ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve noticed that Sentinal Primes design kinda looks Robots In Disquise Optimus. Think this was intentional? {{unsigned|Captain-lelouch|05:30, 17 August 2011 (EDT)}}&lt;br /&gt;
:It does? --[[User:Abates|abates]] 05:33, 17 August 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::Not really. They share similar altmodes, but that comes with the territory of being a fire truck. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 05:42, 17 August 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
I was thinking the alt. mode, the standered window-moobs for all Primes, and the lader being on RID Optimus&#039;s Battle Mode&#039;s back looks kind of like Sentinal&#039;s cape --[[User:Captain-lelouch|Captain-lelouch]] 07:15, 17 August 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
: Not even if RID Prime had window moobs in his combined form.  It&#039;s a coincidence.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:00, 30 September 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
: You&#039;ve successfully convinced me that Sentinel Prime is directly based on G1 Inferno, as opposed to my previous theory that he was directly based on Rescue Roy.  --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 16:07, 30 September 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Decepticon Or Not==&lt;br /&gt;
Since the movie&#039;s out on DVD and Blueray now I&#039;m putting it out in the open: Why aren&#039;t we putting Sentinel as a Decepticon. I  know the last time it was discussed someone mentioned how he reffered to himself as &amp;quot;true leader of the Autobots&amp;quot; and someone else said he seemed disgusted at making a deal with the cons. BUT despite this the way I see it he not only joined up with the Decepticons, he pretty much took complete CONTROL over them. The reason we see Megatron sulking when Carly comes up to him is because Sentinel took over his forces; Sentinel&#039;s giving the orders. Sentinel also wouldn&#039;t be the first turncoat to claim to keep his own faction (and this doesn&#039;t even happen in the movie as I recall) but have the wiki still label him the opposite; Armada Starscream was considered by both himself AND his new allies to be a con is still listed as an Autobot for the four or so eps he was with them. I would even go so far as to say Sentinel can be considered a Decepticon Leader all things considered.--[[User:BlackStarscream|BlackStarscream]] 13:44, 30 September 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;NO.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:But you raise a good question.  Why &#039;&#039;do&#039;&#039; we have an Autobot symbol on Armada Starscream&#039;s page? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think he should count as a Con.Yes he only allied himself with them and then pretty much took them over and &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;still&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; called himself an Autobot,but he should have a Con symbole.I mean G1 Starscream has a Predacon symbole even if he was a Pred for &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;1&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;episode&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; of beast wars.And the North American version of the Headmasters and Targetmaster are Nebulans who allied themselves with the different transformers factions and still got the faction symboles of whichever side they where with.Just look at Vorath for example,it says Decepticon-&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;allied&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Nebulan. --[[User:Gamemaster|Gamemaster]] 22:07, 15 December 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No he&#039;s not a Decepticon.  He just allies with them against the other Autobots.  He doesn&#039;t actually join the Decepticon club and geta  membership card or anything.   In the Marvel UK Comics Carnivac turned against the Decepticons but he clearly refused membership in the Autobots despite staying with them.  Sentinel is an Autobot traitor but that doesn&#039;t automatically qualify him to be a Decepticon. [[Special:Contributions/82.27.5.237|82.27.5.237]] 08:18, 30 December 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
==Animated==&lt;br /&gt;
I guess everyone already knows this, but should we mention in the notes section that Sentinel&#039;s sword-thing and sheiled are a reference to [[Sentinel Prime(Animated]]? It might actually just be a coincidence, but I think it was done on purpose.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Does anyone else think a fair bit of this episode was a homage to the Proving Grounds episode of Beast Wars? It centred heavily on Black Arachnia stalking and being stalked by Dinobot through a similar forest setting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Personally I question if people understand what a reference is.  A similar situation is NOT a reference.  For example, Jack hiding under a log is NOT a reference to Lord of the Rings.  Also, the slow down fight in Darkness Rising Part IV is NOT a reference to Saving Private Ryan.  A reference is an intentional nod towards previously existing stories.  &amp;quot;The first rule of robot fight club is you don&#039;t talk about robot fight club&amp;quot; IS a reference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Arcee and the &amp;quot;spider web&amp;quot; thingy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this episode we see Arcee pinned on a rock wall by Airachnid&#039;s &amp;quot;spider web&amp;quot; at least twice. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The first time she succeeded to free an arm -thanks to her blade- and fire off a shot to her opponent. Why couldn&#039;t she do the same thing the second time?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Should this be mentioned in the section &amp;quot;trivia&amp;quot; as well? [[User:Sharky857|Sharky857]] 14:55, 17 April 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you look carefully, the first time Arcee gets stuck, the webbing is right in front of her arm, allowing her reach to cut.  The second time she is stuck, it is her HAND that is trapped.  There is in fact no webbing in front of her arm, meaning she had no way of actually cutting it.&lt;br /&gt;
:Yeah, eventually I noticed that too. I watched again the episode the last night, and I could see that. Thanks for pointing it out anyway. [[User:Sharky857|Sharky857]] 07:12, 19 April 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

Jacks helmet just kinda… showing up might not be an animation error, per se. Given that she technically doesn&#039;t need gas, Arcees &amp;quot;gas tank&amp;quot; may instead be a storage compartment, much like the one on say, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aprilia_Mana_850 Aprilia Mana 850], which has enough room for a full face helmet. Of course, this is just pure, rampant speculation from a motorcycle junkie, but it might be worth mentioning. [[User:CelticNinja|CelticNinja]] 22:17, 17 April 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== I&#039;m not supposed to die! ==&lt;br /&gt;
We need to work in a reference to this line from [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419706/quotes Doom] somewhere. Tongue in cheek trivia note maybe? --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] 01:40, 5 December 2010 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

== United Cliffjumper ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s a dead deep link from Generations Cliffjumper to G1 Cliffjumper&#039;s page implying that Takara&#039;s version of WFC Cliffjumper is characterized as an incarnation of G1 Cliffjumper. Since there&#039;s no toy listing on G1 Cliffjumper&#039;s page, I&#039;m really confused now. Is there evidence that Takara considers WFC as part of the G1 continuity? Or is this just completely &amp;quot;Takara makes everything part of G1&amp;quot; conjecture?--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 08:22, 8 December 2010 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== WFC Alt mode ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have checked both Cliffjumpers&#039;s and Bumblebee altmodes in the game (DS version) and I have noticed that their altmodes are slightly different. Clifjumper&#039;s is more square and angular resembling Animated Bumblebee, while Bumblebee&#039;s is rounder, lacking the extra angular details Cliffjumper has. Is it worth noting?-[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 02:02, 7 February 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:That could probably be slipped into the toy description, like pointing out that his toy&#039;s not accurate to his appearance in the game. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 02:40, 7 February 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::Can I slip it in the &amp;quot;notes&amp;quot; section?-[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 19:09, 11 February 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Main page is locked so I&#039;ll bring this up here ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(an announcement that was actually very low-key,[1] but you know, fandoms)&lt;br /&gt;
I find the above line to be excessive, does every new page have to be full of obvious snark against fans? It used to be a little more subtle, but now the word &amp;quot;fandom&amp;quot; pops as much as &amp;quot;this troper&amp;quot; does on tvtropes and I hate to see any site become more like that place ugh. My gripe also goes with how some random dude posting something on some board=the entire opinion of the base.&lt;br /&gt;
:No, it&#039;s definitely true, and hardly &amp;quot;snarky&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;against fans&amp;quot;. As one of those guys &#039;&#039;Totally Psyched&#039;&#039; at the idea of seeing The Rock voice Cliffjumper, I have to say it was indeed the fandom blowing it out of proportion because we&#039;re a fandom and we pay closer attention and spread out small announcements like that. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 21:14, 28 February 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::Indeed. I saw a LOT of boards go totally apeshit over Johnson&#039;s casting. And I can&#039;t say I blame them, I was stoked all to hell too. But, well, we, and I mean &amp;quot;we as a fandom&amp;quot;, blew it out of proportion. We took that tiny tidbit and assumed more than the news snippets ever implied, built it up to an amazing degree. It&#039;s what fandoms do. In this case, it&#039;s a pretty harmless result, but still. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 16:55, 1 March 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Not a Redeco? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Think we should mention somewhere that his Prime rendition isn&#039;t a redeco/edit of a Bumblebee? I was thinking something along the lines of: &amp;quot;A Cliffjumper that isn&#039;t a redeco of a Bumblebee? Blasphemy!&amp;quot; Anybody else thought of something similar? --[[User:Shade743|Shade743]] 13:51, 12 March 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

: We don&#039;t typically use in-person pics like that; wait for the clear stock photos.  Although, on the subject of Cliff&#039;s toys, I&#039;m wondering if we should list that apparently new mould one that we saw for the first time at NYCC, with the hammer-gun thing.&lt;br /&gt;

People have noticed that the horns on Cliffjumper&#039;s head are actually the horns on the front of his bumper. Should that be noted or is it just a wild thought?[[User:XxxOUTBURSTxxx|XxxOUTBURSTxxx]] 20:15, 13 March 2012 (EDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&#039;&#039;&#039;Polarity gauntlets&#039;&#039;&#039; grant the user a powerful control over the forces of magnetism. They can be used to draw objects to or push metal away from the wielder, as well as magnetizing metal objects in various ways. For a race of beings made largely out of metal such as the [[Transformer]]s, such a weapon is a force to be reckoned with. The devices were invented by the [[Decepticon]]s during the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]].&lt;br /&gt;

Somehow, a polarity gauntlet found its way to [[Earth]] and became buried in rock. The intense magnetic field it generated alerted both the [[Autobot]]s and Decepticons. [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] found the gauntlet first, but ended up fighting with first [[Airachnid]] and then [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] and [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] over it. He used the weapon to create a magnetic bubble that lifted the two Autobots into the air and then to throw them into some rocks, with the added side effect that Arcee and Bulkhead were magnetically fused together. Breakdown attempted to return the gauntlet to the &#039;&#039;[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]&#039;&#039;, only to be ambushed by Airachnid, who relieved him of the weapon. The Autobots came looking and attacked Airachnid, blasting the gauntlet out of her hand, and it again activated, beginning to draw everything metal in the vicinity toward it. The power pulled Breakdown free of the webbing he was imprisoned in, and he deactivated the gauntlet, later using it to disassemble an oil derrick and drop a chunk on Bulkhead. The gauntlet spent some time being knocked around on the ground until Airachnid picked it up and used it to pull Arcee to her, forcing the Autobot to fight her while their respective hands were stuck to the gauntlet. Arcee eventually managed to wrestle it off her and use it to polarize everyone so they would repel metal, including the missile Breakdown fired at Bulkhead. Finally, Airachnid attempted to make off with the device, only to be thrown into Breakdown, subsequently becoming stuck to him. Arcee and Bulkhead took the gauntlet back to [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|base]] and gave it to [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] for safekeeping, warning him not to use it indoors. {{storylink|Metal Attraction}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{factions|autobot|wreckers}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Wheeljack is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ConJob-Wheeljackgun.jpg|right|thumb|300px|&amp;quot;I&#039;m here to build gizmos and be a badass loner, and I&#039;m all out of knowing how to build gizmos!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Wheeljack&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the roughest Autobots around.  As a former member of the [[Wrecker]]s, he&#039;s seen plenty of action, and he&#039;s got the snarky one-liners to prove it.  If there&#039;s anything he likes more than slicing up [[Decepticon]]s with his swords or inventing new gadgets to slice Decepticons in different ways, it&#039;s hanging with his old buddy, [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] (who calls him &#039;&#039;&#039;Jackie&#039;&#039;&#039;).  But not for too long.  He&#039;s got places to be.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{bigquote|If you&#039;re trying to ruin my day, you&#039;re gonna have to try harder.|Wheeljack|&amp;quot;[[Con Job]]&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Exiles&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Wheeljack was a member of the Wreckers.  After the [[Great Exodus]], the Autobots remaining on Cybertron encountered the inventor and engineer wandering outside [[Crystal City]]. They took him in, with [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]] theorizing that he had escaped from [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]&#039;s facilities there. Wheeljack proceeded to equip the resistance with new gadgets and weaponry, but his true loyalty remained to science, rather than the Autobots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, Wheeljack, along with [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Springer (WFC)|Springer]] approached Alpha Trion to propose re-creating [[space bridge]] technology on a personal scale, and using the energies from the space bridge explosion to trace the locations of the vanished &#039;&#039;[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]&#039;&#039;. The project proceeded, and the inventor was able to find a way of opening a brief passageway through space-time, utilising the remaining energies of the [[Well of All Sparks]] and the damaged consciousness of [[Vector Sigma]]. Wheeljack suggested they send a message of some sort through the gateway to [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], but Alpha Trion advocated sending an actual bot. Eventually, the Autobot called [[Chaindrive]] was sent, equipped with a device to track the [[Matrix of Leadership]], a piece of the [[Blades of Time]], and a warning for Optimus regarding the [[Requiem Blaster (Prime)|Requiem Blaster]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; cartoon===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice actor:&#039;&#039; [[James Horan]] (English), [[Lorenzo Scattorin]] (Italian), [[Dennis Schmidt-Foß]] (German), [[Ricardo Sawaya]] (Brazilian Portuguese)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wheeljack was a member of the [[Wrecker]]s alongside [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]]. He took part in an unnamed battle where he and Bulkhead became surrounded by Decepticons and low on Energon. However, Wheeljack threw a grenade into a smelter, causing it to explode and take out the attackers. He also took part in the Battle of [[Darkmount]] Pass, where he took out a group of Decepticons to get the Wreckers across a smelting pit. When [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] went dark, he began travelling the stars alone in the &#039;&#039;[[Star Hammer]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ConJob-Wheeljackface.jpg|left|thumb|200px|This is his head&#039;s &amp;quot;make the fans happy&amp;quot; mode.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually he reached [[Earth]]&#039;s [[Solar System]] and was hailed by the Autobots stationed there, including Bulkhead. As he was coming in to land at the coordinates provided by [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], his ship was attacked and shot down by [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]]. Wheeljack emerged from the &#039;&#039;Star Hammer&#039;&#039; and proceeded to trash the Decepticons, but was eventually overwhelmed and taken back to the &#039;&#039;[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]&#039;&#039; where he was imprisoned. He was amused to find that [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] was in command of the Decepticons, and almost goaded Starscream into killing him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ConJob-Wheeljackswords.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Wheeljack: determined to make [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] redundant.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An opportunity allowed him to kill his guard and break free from his bonds. He scaled to the top of the ship, where Starscream was waiting for [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]], who&#039;d taken on Wheeljack&#039;s appearance, to open the Autobot [[GroundBridge]]. Wheeljack smashed a bunch of Vehicons and assaulted Starscream before escaping through the GroundBridge to the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]]. There he confronted Makeshift and the pair dueled with swords until Wheeljack was victorious. Bulkhead tossed Makeshift back through the GroundBridge along with a &amp;quot;present&amp;quot; for the &#039;cons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though the Autobots welcomed Wheeljack, he revealed that he intended to return to space. He invited Bulkhead along, but Bulkhead was too attached to his friends on Earth to leave. Bulkhead was sure Wheeljack would return someday... {{storylink|Con Job}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Miko was trying to stir Bulkhead&#039;s memory after he absorbed the data from the [[Cybertronian data cylinder]] she mentioned Wheeljack, and showed Bulkhead the picture she took of them together. Sadly, this did not jog Bulkhead&#039;s memory. {{storylink|T.M.I.}}&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the first wave of &amp;quot;Robots in Disguise&amp;quot; Deluxe Class, Wheeljack transforms into a white race car with red and green markings similar to his [[Wheeljack (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]].   Not exactly a Lancia Stratos as he was in G1, but rather a mixture of a Ferrari Testarossa and a Ford GT90 concept car.  Wheeljack comes with two swords which can stow underneath the vehicle or attach under the front bumper to create an attack mode.  In robot mode, Wheeljack can either hold the swords, stow them on his shoulders, or they can be inserted into slots near his wings. Surprisingly, there are no Autobot insignias on Wheeljack whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;
{{--}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheeljack is said to have not taken an [[alternate mode]], but he&#039;s clearly got four tires with hubcaps. It&#039;s safe to say that when he does get an Earth mode, it&#039;ll be a white racing car with green and red stripes, like [[Wheeljack (G1)|somebody we know]].&lt;br /&gt;
** The Hub&#039;s comedic &amp;quot;Making &#039;&#039;Transformers: Prime&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; video shows concept art of Wheeljack&#039;s alternate mode behind [[Jeff Kline]] in his introduction. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3iKDbKQwKI&amp;amp;feature=related]&lt;br /&gt;
*At [[BotCon 2011]], it was stated Wheeljack is meant to be a mechanic as with other incarnations, but it has yet to be mentioned in-series.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=79724 Botcon 2011 Transformers Prime Panel!] on the AllSpark&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheeljack&#039;s &amp;quot;one grenade, one shot&amp;quot; strategy is hinted at by the fact that he does carry a single grenade on his hip.&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first incarnation of Wheeljack to be a Wrecker.&lt;br /&gt;

If there&#039;s anything he likes more than slicing up [[Decepticon]]s with his swords or inventing new gadgets to slice Decepticons in different ways, it&#039;s hanging with his old buddy, [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] (who calls him &#039;&#039;&#039;Jackie&#039;&#039;&#039;).  But not for too long.  He&#039;s got places to be.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Exiles&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Wheeljack was a member of the Wreckers.  After the [[Great Exodus]], the Autobots remaining on Cybertron encountered the inventor and engineer wandering outside [[Crystal City]]. They took him in, with [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]] theorizing that he had escaped from [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]&#039;s facilities there. Wheeljack proceeded to equip the resistance with new gadgets and weaponry, but his true loyalty remained to science, rather than the Autobots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, Wheeljack, along with [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Springer (WFC)|Springer]] approached Alpha Trion to propose re-creating [[space bridge]] technology on a personal scale, and using the energies from the space bridge explosion to trace the locations of the vanished &#039;&#039;[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]&#039;&#039;. The project proceeded, and the inventor was able to find a way of opening a brief passageway through space-time, utilising the remaining energies of the [[Well of All Sparks]] and the damaged consciousness of [[Vector Sigma]]. Wheeljack suggested they send a message of some sort through the gateway to [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], but Alpha Trion advocated sending an actual bot. Eventually, the Autobot called [[Chaindrive]] was sent, equipped with a device to track the [[Matrix of Leadership]], a piece of the [[Blades of Time]], and a warning for Optimus regarding the [[Requiem Blaster (Prime)|Requiem Blaster]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Wheeljack was a member of the [[Wrecker]]s alongside [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]]. He took part in an unnamed battle where he and Bulkhead became surrounded by Decepticons and low on Energon. However, Wheeljack threw a grenade into a smelter, causing it to explode and take out the attackers. He also took part in the Battle of [[Darkmount]] Pass, where he took out a group of Decepticons to get the Wreckers across a smelting pit. When [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] went dark, he began travelling the stars alone in the &#039;&#039;[[Star Hammer]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ConJob-Wheeljackface.jpg|left|thumb|200px|This is his head&#039;s &amp;quot;make the fans happy&amp;quot; mode.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually he reached [[Earth]]&#039;s [[Solar System]] and was hailed by the Autobots stationed there, including Bulkhead. As he was coming in to land at the coordinates provided by [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], his ship was attacked and shot down by [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]]. Wheeljack emerged from the &#039;&#039;Star Hammer&#039;&#039; and proceeded to trash the Decepticons, but was eventually overwhelmed and taken back to the &#039;&#039;[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]&#039;&#039; where he was imprisoned. He was amused to find that [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] was in command of the Decepticons, and almost goaded Starscream into killing him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ConJob-Wheeljackswords.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Wheeljack: determined to make [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] redundant.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An opportunity allowed him to kill his guard and break free from his bonds. He scaled to the top of the ship, where Starscream was waiting for [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]], who&#039;d taken on Wheeljack&#039;s appearance, to open the Autobot [[GroundBridge]]. Wheeljack smashed a bunch of Vehicons and assaulted Starscream before escaping through the GroundBridge to the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]]. There he confronted Makeshift and the pair dueled with swords until Wheeljack was victorious. Bulkhead tossed Makeshift back through the GroundBridge along with a &amp;quot;present&amp;quot; for the &#039;cons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though the Autobots welcomed Wheeljack, he revealed that he intended to return to space. He invited Bulkhead along, but Bulkhead was too attached to his friends on Earth to leave. Bulkhead was sure Wheeljack would return someday... {{storylink|Con Job}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Miko was trying to stir Bulkhead&#039;s memory after he absorbed the data from the [[Cybertronian data cylinder]] she mentioned Wheeljack, and showed Bulkhead the picture she took of them together. Sadly, this did not jog Bulkhead&#039;s memory. {{storylink|T.M.I.}}&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the first wave of &amp;quot;Robots in Disguise&amp;quot; Deluxe Class, Wheeljack transforms into a white race car with red and green markings similar to his [[Wheeljack (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]].   Not exactly a Lancia Stratos as he was in G1, but rather a mixture of a Ferrari Testarossa and a Ford GT90 concept car.  Wheeljack comes with two swords which can stow underneath the vehicle or attach under the front bumper to create an attack mode.  In robot mode, Wheeljack can either hold the swords, stow them on his shoulders, or they can be inserted into slots near his wings. Surprisingly, there are no Autobot insignias on Wheeljack whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheeljack is said to have not taken an [[alternate mode]], but he&#039;s clearly got four tires with hubcaps. It&#039;s safe to say that when he does get an Earth mode, it&#039;ll be a white racing car with green and red stripes, like [[Wheeljack (G1)|somebody we know]].&lt;br /&gt;
** The Hub&#039;s comedic &amp;quot;Making &#039;&#039;Transformers: Prime&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; video shows concept art of Wheeljack&#039;s alternate mode behind [[Jeff Kline]] in his introduction. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3iKDbKQwKI&amp;amp;feature=related]&lt;br /&gt;
*At [[BotCon 2011]], it was stated Wheeljack is meant to be a mechanic as with other incarnations, but it has yet to be mentioned in-series.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=79724 Botcon 2011 Transformers Prime Panel!] on the AllSpark&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheeljack&#039;s &amp;quot;one grenade, one shot&amp;quot; strategy is hinted at by the fact that he does carry a single grenade on his hip.&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first time that any incarnation of Wheeljack is a Wrecker.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s a dead deep link from Generations Cliffjumper to G1 Cliffjumper&#039;s page implying that Takara&#039;s version of WFC Cliffjumper is characterized as an incarnation of G1 Cliffjumper. Since there&#039;s no toy listing on G1 Cliffjumper&#039;s page, I&#039;m really confused now. Is there evidence that Takara considers WFC as part of the G1 continuity?

== WFC Alt mode ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have checked both Cliffjumpers&#039;s and Bumblebee altmodes in the game (DS version) and I have noticed that their altmodes are slightly different. Clifjumper&#039;s is more square and angular resembling Animated Bumblebee, while Bumblebee&#039;s is rounder, lacking the extra angular details Cliffjumper has. Is it worth noting?-[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 02:02, 7 February 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

== United Cliffjumper ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s a dead deep link from Generations Cliffjumper to G1 Cliffjumper&#039;s page implying that Takara&#039;s version of WFC Cliffjumper is characterized as an incarnation of G1 Cliffjumper. Since there&#039;s no toy listing on G1 Cliffjumper&#039;s page, I&#039;m really confused now. Is there evidence that Takara considers WFC as part of the G1 continuity?

== WFC Alt mode ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have checked both Cliffjumpers&#039;s and Bumblebee altmodes in the game (DS version) and I have noticed that their altmodes are slightly different. Clifjumper&#039;s is more square and angular resembling Animated Bumblebee, while Bumblebee&#039;s is rounder, lacking the extra angular details Cliffjumper has. Is it worth noting?-[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 02:02, 7 February 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

Is Bumblebee just a generic Muscle Car? --[[Special:Contributions/82.39.157.220|82.39.157.220]] 22:18, 1 September 2011 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== Two Different Bumblebee Toys ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be two different toys for Bumblebee in Prime.  The First Edition is already noted on the page, but the Robots In Disquise version is not.  The RID version (Wave 1) will feature a slightly differnt transformation and two arm guns instead of one.  I think this should be noted.&lt;br /&gt;
Yes,it should. All the toys with RiD versions are noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Axel==&lt;br /&gt;
Why the mention of Axel Frazier? Is this just &amp;quot;Hasbro insists all continuities are one, so Rescue Bots BB is also Prime BB,&amp;quot; or something else? --[[User:Buttbutt|Buttbutt]] 16:48, 9 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
