If there's one thing the kids love more than Power Rangers, it's evil Power Rangers.

The Megatrons of the Seven Lights (七色の破壊大帝 (メガトロン) Nanairo no Megatoron lit. Seven-Coloured Emperors of Destruction), also not at all confusingly known as the New Primus Vanguard (新プライマスヴァンガード Shin Puraimasu Vangādo), are perhaps the most dire threat the Precursor World has ever faced. Created by the monstrously powerful Gold Megatron via the full might of the Silver Matrix as doppelgangers of the Primus Vanguard twisted into his own image, they are monuments to the would-be god's hubris.

Fiction

Generations Selects Special Comic

Following his absorption of the Golden Power from Golden Age's Starscream, Gold Megatron created the Megatrons of the Seven Lights using the Silver Matrix. Purple Megatron immediately engaged Purple Wicked Convoy in a duel for the Purple name, while the Black and Red Megatrons shot down Hun-Grr before being blasted by Scramble 7.

Meanwhile, Blue Megatron grabbed the other Silver Matrix, using his head-swapping abilities to trick the Straxus twins into thinking he was the dead Brightes. Shortly after, Green Megatron would become possessed by the time-travelling spark of the Megatron from the year 2050, who grappled with his past self. The Yellow and White Megatrons blasted Gold Primus Convoy, turning him back into Star Convoy. This wouldn't be enough to stop him, and he soon returned to the G1 World with Primus and the depowered Galvatron. Finale 2

Notes

• We don't see what happens to the Megatrons after Optimus and company leave the Precursor World, but it's presumably safe to assume that the heroic Megatron and the remaining warriors present dealt with them.
• Only Purple, Blue and Green Megatron are explicitly named in the script but the pattern is difficult to miss.
• Similarly to their counterparts in the heroic Primus Vanguard, the Megatrons all have a kanji title. Similar to the Vanguard's use of "Convoy", they are all share the title Emperor of Destruction (破壊大帝), usually read as hakai taitei.
• It's likely the Megatrons hold sway over their respective hues of Star Power like their corresponding Vanguard commanders but this is never quite stated outright.
• The concept of Megatron controlling a squadron of his own duplicates is a pretty direct callback to the Megatron Corps employed by Galvatron in the original Transformers manga.
