Fiction

Legends World

The Megatron of the Legends World was the president of Tera-Kura Co. He once watched Cheetor party it up after work. Head of Partying, Cheetor He thought of his company as the rivals of Optimus Primal's Axalon Trading Company, but had all kinds of trouble dealing with his eccentric employees. Rivals! Tera-Kura Co.! Among them was Waspinator, who Megatron had to punish more than once for talking about or playing with Transformers instead of doing his job. Buzz Buzz Buzz, Wasps Flyyy This changed when he learned that Blackarachnia, his favorite hostess at a host club, was also a Transformers fan, at which point he sheepishly asked Waspinator to teach him more about the franchise so he could impress her. President Mega's Requests Through songs and glossary cards, Megatron learned to recite the names of several Transformers characters, much to Blackarachnia's excitement. President Mega's Studies

During a lesson on the subject of Whirl and Roadbuster, Megatron latched onto the fact that they'd first appeared in the UK and imagined them as English stereotypes, ignoring Waspinator's protests that they were nothing like that. Whirl and Roadbuster Now on Sale, Buzz Megatron spent that Christmas lovingly exchanging presents with Blackarachnia. Merry X'mas!! After watching the third Transformers movie as part of his studies, he acted strange while interviewing Quickstrike, giving the potential new employee a time limit to "appeal to him". The Results of Mega-chan's Studies Megatron was annoyed when Blackarachnia remained at the office to work longer than everyone else, wanting to leave himself so that he could visit his usual club. Widow-chan at Work

Megatron listened to Windblade explain that the Legends Universe he and the others lived in was created by the telepathic powers of the Zamojin, but didn't understand a word of it. To his annoyance, Waspinator took the story at face value and told him that he'd understand too if he'd properly studied Transformers like he was supposed to. LG12 Windblade As part of a partnership between Tera-Kura Co. and Axalon Trading Company, Megatron invited Optimus Primal and Rattrap to a Q-Transformers event, which he mostly just went to buy gifts for Blackarachnia. During their visit, the three tried different food and drink to collect stamps to exchange for prizes, but Megatron messed up the stamping process and made his all blurry. Deckss × Q-Transformers

While holding more job interviews, Megatron was interrupted by a tank driving through the wall, transforming into a robot and announcing that it was another Megatron! Knowing nothing of the newcomer's identity, Megatron had Waspinator explain who the other Megatron was, and was actually pretty impressed by his resume. Unfortunately, the new Megatron had no intent of working for Tera-Kura Co. as the old Megatron had assumed, but sought to control the company by making himself president. Beast-Megatron protested that he was the president, but this only led to tank-Megatron declaring himself the chairman above the president instead, nevertheless causing the original to lose control of his company. LG13 Megatron To add to this insult, he was forced to have a suit made for Chairman Megatron. Chairman Inauguration! Lord Megatron He was confused by Blackarachnia's cold treatment of their new boss, unaware that she was just trying really hard not to fangirl about working for the "real" Megatron. Widow-chan's Usual Day

After a hard day's work, Megatron invited his co-workers for a night on the town, but to his disappointment no one showed up other than the chairman. They then ran into a third Megatron, Armada Megatron, at the place they went to eat, and President Megatron listened on in fear as the other two bonded over subjects like Chairman Megatron having killed his old second-in-command. Autumn Megatron Festival Chapter When the two larger Megatrons drunkenly agreed to conquer the world together, the small beast Megatron was left weakly pleading to his boss that they cut it out and continue their after-work fun instead.

Megatron was initially pleased that Tera-Kura was able to sell a ton of clones based on Nightbird, a robot brought to the Legends world by the other Megatron, but got very concerned when they started going on a rampage. His chairman explained that their innate evil couldn't be suppressed, causing Megatron to snap at him, asking why they'd gone ahead and sold them then. He tried ordering a recall of the products only to find customers liked their evil robots, though he doubted Chairman Megatron's claims that this was part of the plan. LG15 Nightbird Shadow Megatron would later gain another employee when Tera-Kura hired Slipstream. LG16 Slipstream The Megatrons went trick-or-treating for Halloween, and Legends Megatron had to remind his counterpart that the tradition didn't involve threatening people with a fusion cannon.

Megatron was at his usual club when his waiter, Armada Starscream, was assaulted by Slipstream. LG-16 Slipstream Sequel After Armada Megatron's greed powered up the Zamojin and almost destroyed the Legends World, Legends Megatron warned his chairman to be careful with his own ambitions. LG18 Armada Starscream Super Mode Megatron found himself overthrown when the Waspinator of another world took over Tera-Kura Co. and declared himself president, though the intruder quickly left again. LG-EX Waspinator He was distressed when G1 Megatron was seemingly killed in Skids's attempts to return him to his own universe, and pleasantly surprised when the chairman turned out to be okay. LG20 Skids

Jealous that Axalon Trading Company had joined forces with the Autobot Headmasters, Megatron struck a deal with their Decepticon counterparts to form the "Decepticon Tera-Kura Co." partnership. LG22 Skullcruncher Unfortunately their new allies conspired against G1 Megatron and turned him into Galvatron, who went on a rampage before returning to his normal self. Noting that the destruction had led to increased sales for his company, Legends Megatron sheepishly asked the chairman if he could do a repeat performance. LG23 Galvatron He was later hypnotized into serving Mindwipe for a while. LG34 Mindwipe Megatron was hired by Nightscream to star in his film Transformers: Convobat Amazon Showdown as Megalligator, but upset the director by ad-libbing his lines. During filming, he helped pacify the transtector used for Convobat by combining with Optimus Primal and blasting it. LG-EX Convobat

Megatron was present when his company was further taken over by Devil Z, who'd bought all their stocks, LG35 Super Ginrai and suffered Devil Z's rage when he was betrayed by Soundwave. LG36 Soundwave He was then levitated by Apeface after he'd mastered telekinesis. LG38 Laserbeak When Zarak attacked the Legends World, Megatron was both impressed and annoyed that Waspinator could identify him. LGEX Headmaster Set Chapter He was around when the Decepticon Headmasters constructed Godbomber at the Tera-Kura, LG42 Godbomber as well as when the Dimensional Patrol showed up and caused trouble for everyone.

When the Headmasters betrayed the company and came to steal the transformation cog from their new office building, Metroplex, Megatron was ordered to hide the device but was caught by Full-Tilt who stole it. Decepticon Civil War The Headmasters used the cog to complete Trypticon and attack the city, and Megatron could do nothing about it but stay at Metroplex and fidget uselessly. LG43 Trypticon After Trypticon devastated Akihabara and it was rebuilt as Neo Akihabara City, Megatron wandered the town. He got his company back when G1 Megatron moved on to be mayor of the city. Targetmaster Chapter Prologue When Fastlane and Cloudraker arrived in the Legends World, Megatron was surprised by the airplane and the car. LG58 Autobot Clones

While Megatron was doing business at Tera-Kura, the Concurrence invaded and Old Snake used his synthoid process in reverse to strip out Megatron's organic nature and convert him to a wholly robotic Headmaster. The organic parts formed a new being, Noble, who was disposed of. Filled with revenge for the other Megatron for overthrowing him, President Megatron turned over his company's resources to the Concurrence so that they could conquer Mayor Megatron's precious world. G1 Megatron, not wanting to another subordinate to come under harm, found Noble and set off a chain of events that allowed Noble and Beast Megatron to "combine" and restore Beast Megatron's sanity. The two Megatrons chased the Concurrence off the Legends World, although Beast Megatron still had trouble not falling to his wicknedness when separated from Noble, but beast half was there to keep him on the wagon.

Before the Legends World was destroyed, Megatron was forced to board the Axalon to flee the universe. They crash landed on Beast in the G1 World's 2038. When Galvatron II arrived with his Nemesis, Leo Prime induced Transformers sickness on the Legends World's refugees, transforming them into their G1 World counterparts' likenesses. Crashing the Axalon into Nemesis, the Beast Warrior were able to take down the fortress. The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 3 The refugees settled on Beast, where they received news from Optimus Prime that G1 Megatron had died as part of the Star Giant. Beast Megatron in particular took this news badly, dropping to his knees and crying. But Optimus told them to help resurrect the fallen Decepticon if the Legends World was restored. The next year, this indeed came to pass, and Beast Megatron worked on constructing a new body for G1 Megatron that he revived in. Things went back to normal on the Legends World, till G1 Megatron announced his departure. Beast Megatron was again the most touched, so G1 Megatron told him he could keep up with his adventures in the fiction of the Legends World. Taking his words to heart, Beast Megatron consumed all the Transformers media he could and kept a portrait of G1 Megatron in the Tera-Kura offices. One of his workdays was disturbed when Officer Ai tried to arrest Tarantulas. Epiloge

An homage, playing another homage, while paying homage to the original character. Confused yet?

• Convobat (December 19, 2016)

• ID number: LG-EX

This toy was repurposed as Megatron by "LG-EX Convobat".

Available with the e-HOBBY-exclusive Legends Convobat, this Headmaster of Megalligator (メガリゲーター) is a redeco of Titans Return Nucleon. As a Headmaster, Megalligator can turn into a head compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger Titans Return-style figure, although he is intended for use with LG22 Skull's Deluxe-sized transtector, to which he is color-matched. The deep-green result, however, questionably matches the duller green of the original Megalligator toy. Megalligator can also pinch Convobat's partner drone Ape X Arms, riding its gorilla mode or combining with it to form a jet.

As far as dual Megatrons go, I think we all prefer the dragon.

• G2 Megatron (February 24, 2018)

• ID number: LG63
• Accessories: Fusion cannon, rifle, Headmaster, Noble Partner Drone

This toy was repurposed as Megatron and a transtector by "LG63 G2 Megatron".

Legends "G2 Megatron" (G2メガトロン) is a redeco of Titans Return Voyager Class Megatron in Generation 2 Megatron's "Hero" colors. It transforms from robot to tank to plane and back. Megatron comes with a Headmaster module decoed like Beast Wars Ultra Class Megatron that becomes his head. He also comes with Noble, who is redecoed from Fangry's drone accessory.

Like all Voyager Class Titans Return molds, he has a pair of pop-up parts to fill in the area around his head; in this case, a pair of missile racks. This version of the mold retains the retooling that includes a pivoting assembly for better range of movement. Due to the nature of his transformation, it is possible to transform Megatron into tank mode without removing his head.

His fusion cannon can plug into the short barrel of the tank turret or the rifle/Headmaster vehicle weapon. In an undocumented additional feature, the rifle can be inserted into the front end of the fusion cannon. The fusion cannon can be mounted on his forearm or held by any figure with 5mm hands. It also has a peg hole that an accessory such as his rifle can plug into, with extra square peg holes specifically to hold the rifle in place.

The accompanying manga depicts this toy as a transtector body initially owned by Legends Megatron before coming into Generation 1 Megatron's possession. In reference to this dual-purposing, the toy comes with a sheet of stickers, so buyers can cover the Decepticon insignia on its chest with either a G2 Decepticon badge or a sticker replicating the original toy's "MEGATRON RULES!" decal. Two Predacon insignia stickers are also included, with their place of application left to the owner.
