The toy for Megatron is a Leader-class and transforms into a modern-style tank. His partner Mini-Con, Leader-1, can be used to reveal extra guns, pull out a hidden dagger, and activate a variety of electronic lights and sounds. Additionally, the Mini-Con itself can be transformed into a gun for Megatron to use. The original release of the toy is primarily green, with red, black, and silver accents.  The re-release, a redeco called Galvatron, is mostly purple and gray with some gold accents and several black "battle damage" marks.

Revision as of 20:03, 19 July 2006

The name or term "Megatron" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Megatron (disambiguation).

Megatron is a Decepticon character in the Unicron Trilogy. When in his powered-up form, is known as Galvatron.

Megatron, Decepticon leader. Shops for headgear with the big, bad Beetleborgs.

Megatron is not content with conquest of Cybertron. When he learns of powers greater than his own, he does not attempt to merely defeat them. He will subjugate them, bend them to his will, carve up their corpse and integrate their power into himself. He is a monster. Megatron tempers this barbarism with regal militaristic formality. He calls his closest troops "gentlemen." He speaks politely and intelligently. He makes it perfectly clear that he is completely cognizant of his madness.

Megatron's only weakness is his obsession with Optimus Prime. No matter how much power he attains, his final, glorious battle must be against him. On the occasions Prime has seemingly been destroyed, Megatron has sunk into a deep depression. Once Optimus Prime is gone, there may be no further challenges in this universe.

Megatron returned in a new body comprised of the "armor of Unicron."

Megatron single-handedly mortally wounded Red Alert, Hot Shot and Scattorshot with his "Death Machine Gun". After being destroyed by Sonic Wing Optimus Prime, his Unicron-fed powers allowed him to return as a ghost composed of darkness. In this ghastly state he was able to revieve his dead solder Crumplezone as Dark Crumplezone (much to Ransack's envy), and sieze upon the insecurities of Leobreaker in order to create the Autobot's dark reflection Nemesis Breaker.

When Megatron was severely wounded by Metroplex he was able to tap into Gigantion's Cyber Planet Key and reformat himself into Galvatron.
