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 from Bot Shots.

Megatron is one of the most powerful bots around. He can even link up to a black hole and draw upon extradimensional energy to increase his power. He is happy to demonstrate on anyone who challenges him. This includes, in particular, bots who call him "Old Buckethead".
