| The '''hapless trooper''' is a fiercely loyal Decepticon who volunteered for [[Project Re-Birth]] in order that... ''oh who are we kidding?'' He didn't ''volunteer''. Straxus strapped him to a table, screaming, while techs dissected and rebuilt his body in the image of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]—all part of a too-elaborate-by-half scheme by Straxus to regain control of the Decepticon army.

| Pray that madness claimed him early in the process, because what followed you would not wish on your most hated enemy.
| |
| | |
| Prior to his grisly fate, the hapless trooper probably served under [[Octane]] as part of Straxus's forces.

| On Cybertron, [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron]] was tormented by strange memories of medical torture and dis-assembly amid flashbacks to [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]'s attempts to possess his body. {{storylink|Mind Games}}
| |
| | |
| Later, ''another'' [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] related his discovery of a hidden lab in Straxus's base where a hapless trooper was surgically reconstructed into a replica of Megatron's own body, which was then possessed by Straxus... who had in turn been overwhelmed by a copy of Megatron's own memories and believed himself to be the original to form a sort of Double Decker Taco of mind-control and body horror.

| Realizing the truth, the clone Megatron—who was barely clinging to sanity—chose to take his own life "rather than let Straxus win". {{storylink|Two Megatrons!}}

| ==Notes==
| |
| * Several troopers sharing the same general design as the Hapless trooper (all displaying slight differences) appear at [[Transference Station Two]] in "[[Resurrection!]]" around the time Straxus was implementing [[Project Re-Birth]], though it is ''highly unlikely'' that the hapless trooper was among them; Straxus's plans were already well underway by that point. These troopers have the same yellow-red-and-white color scheme used by [[Darkmount]] technicians.
