Megatron's dead friend is a Decepticon from the Japanese Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Even a despotic bellicist like Megatron has need for companions to favor over Starscream and provoke him with. What he has no need for is them getting killed, especially not by creatures he didn't plan on killing first. So, when this one friend of Megatron died by human hands, events took a turn for the worse.

Notes

• Okay, so Megatron's dead friend is a funny story. He only exists as that one image at the top of the page. Nothing, absolutely nothing of the text surrounding the image makes mention of him or otherwise provides the image with context. Why was he on Earth? Why did he get attacked? Why did he get killed? Why does his death bother Megatron? Did his death influence Megatron's choice to reignite the war? If you want any definitive answers, you'll have to ask Hidetsugu Yoshioka (and hope he remembers).
