In his younger days, '''[[Walter Simmons]]''' filled his life with adventure, exploring the fantastic and the unknown alongside his longtime friend [[Theodore Joseph Wells|Theodore Wells]]. Although he describes himself as a man of reason, this particular trait only extends as far as preferring to think his way out of situations rather than resort to violence; when it comes to seeking explanations for the mysteries he and Wells encounter in their adventures, "reason" does not often enter into Simmons's thought processes, and he will willingly embrace the supernatural and otherworldly as an answer. Indeed, it is this openness and eagerness that causes Wells to fear for Simmons's well-being, as it seems all too possible for him to be consumed by the terrifying and wonderful worlds and possibilities that their discoveries have opened up to him.
The awesomely powerful '''[[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]''' 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's illegal [[gladiatorial combat|deathmatches]], cast aside his designation of '''D-16''' and took the legendary name '''[[The Fallen|Megatronus]]''' as his own, he called for an end to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s decrepit [[caste system]] and told the downtrodden that freedom of self-determination was the right of all sentient beings!


Putting his life of adventure behind him, Simmons became one of the [[First Seven]], the founders of the organization which would become [[Sector Seven]]. He has lived long enough to remain in a position of power with the organization for the majority of its existence, becoming known and feared by many. It is said he knows where most of the skeletons are buried, and how they became skeletons in the first place. Those within Sector Seven refer to him as "The Old Man", but likely never to his face.

The awesomely powerful Megatron 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's illegal deathmatches, cast aside his designation of D-16 and took the legendary name Megatronus as his own, he called for an end to Cybertron's decrepit caste system and told the downtrodden that freedom of self-determination was the right of all sentient beings!

But power corrupts and Megatron'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 past the brink of destruction. Now he and his former brother-in-arms Optimus Prime fight on other worlds. Megatron will never forgive Optimus for "betraying" 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.

Megatron has been gone for three years, but now he's returned. He's brought the monstrous Dark Energon to Earth, and quite possibly left his sanity in space.
