| The name or term "Megatron" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Megatron (disambiguation). |
- Megatron is the nice leader of the heroic Decepticons in the Shattered Glass continuity.
Megatron was a young mathematician who lectured at a university on Cybertron. However, he noticed a disturbing trend in the numbers: civil war was certain! His colleagues just called him crazy and laughed it off, but when the maniacal Optimus Prime and his evil army of Autobots took over Cybertron, Megatron had been waiting in the underground, forming a resistance movement to take back Cybertron, and keep the Autobots from conquering the universe and plundering it, as they had done to Cybertron.

- Megatron & Rodimus (Convention Souvenir 3-Pack, 2008)
- Megatron is a redeco and retool of Ultra-class Energon Megatron, with a more heroic color scheme and a new head mold based on an early character model for Generation 1 Megatron (see below). He comes with Rodimus and Rampage as a bagged set, limited to 1100 pieces.
- Megatron transforms into a silver and black Cybertronic jet with red accents and blue translucents. Included is a small tank (originally a representation of Armada Megatron's tank form), which can plug onto the top of the vehicle mode and can also fire missiles out of its spring-loaded main gun. Hyper Mode can be activated by raising the upper gray parts of his wings in an 'X-wing' configuration, which extends the red weapons underneath. In robot mode, the small tank accessory can be attached to either of his arms as a cannon, or it can be flipped around and have a sword attached to the rear of its turret.
Trivia
- Megatron's head design is based on the early G1 Megatron character model seen in the first Transformers commercial, early issues of the Marvel Comics, and Megatron's Marvel Transformers Universe profile. Likewise, the helmet colors are derived from the Marvel Comics as well, featuring a black helmet on a silver face. The head was designed by Dan Khanna.
