The Art of War
Serpent O.R. was created in secret by a rogue group in the U.S. military using captured Decepticon technology, including the remains of Megatron. He was prematurely activated by a Cobra attack, and due to a programming malfunction came online as "the Son of Megatron." Learning some of the Transformers' history (and perhaps future) from Soundwave's captured head, he returned to Cybertron, took control of the ragtag Decepticon forces there, unified them, and launched a deadly campaign to capture the Matrix of Leadership and conquer the planet.
It almost worked, but when Serpent O.R. absorbed the Matrix, it changed him, enlarging and transforming his body into the mechanical Serpentor Prime, but also illuminating his mind and soul to the wonder of life and the error of his ways. Serpent O.R. sought then to end the fighting he'd started and take his own life so that another might receive the Matrix, but Cobra Commander took control of his body before he could enact his plan for peace. Serpent O.R.'s body was destroyed shortly thereafter when Hawk unleashed the power of the Matrix. The Art of War
