Megatron (Armada)
| 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 character in the Unicron Trilogy. When in his powered-up form, is known as Galvatron.
Megatron is not content with conquest of Cybertron. When he learns of powers greater than his own, he does not attempt to merely defeat them. He will subjugate them, bend them to his will, carve up their corpse and integrate their power into himself. He is a monster. Megatron tempers this barbarism with regal militaristic formality. He calls his closest troops "gentlemen." He speaks politely and intelligently. He makes it perfectly clear that he is completely cognizant of his madness.
Megatron's only weakness is his obsession with Optimus Prime. No matter how much power he attains, his final, glorious battle must be against him. On the occasions Prime has seemingly been destroyed, Megatron has sunk into a deep depression. Once Optimus Prime is gone, there may be no further challenges in this universe.

Megatron returns in a new body comprised of the "armor of Unicron." Megatron single-handedly mortally wounded Red Alert, Hot Shot and Scattorshot with his Death Machine Gun. And he has been killed by Sonic Wing Optimus Prime, only to return as a ghost composed of darkness. In this ghastly state he was able to revieve his dead solder Crumplezone as Dark Crumplezone(much to Ransack's envy), and sieze opon the insecurities of Leobreaker in order to create the Autobot's dark reflection Nemesis Breaker. When Megatron was severely wounded by Metroplex he was able to tap into Giant Planet's Cyber Planet Key and reformat himself into Galvatron.

Toys
Armada
The toy for Megatron is a Leader-class and transforms into a modern-style tank. His partner Mini-Con, Leader-1, can be used to reveal extra guns, pull out a hidden dagger, and activate a variety of electronic lights and sounds. Additionally, the Mini-Con itself can be transformed into a gun for Megatron to use. The original release of the toy is primarily green, with red, black, and silver accents. The re-release, a redeco called Galvatron, is mostly purple and gray with some gold accents and several black "battle damage" marks.
Energon
The toy for Megatron is a Leader-class and transforms into a futuristic jet. He is packaged with a black miniature replica of Armada Megatron's vehicle mode (tank), which can be used as a gun weapon of its own or combined with a concealed blade to form a sword weapon. Pulling out certain sections of the wings opens them up to reveal small guns. The original release is mostly white, with dark blue accents and clear-green "Hyper Power" parts (the gimmick of the Energon-series Decepticons).
Cybertron
The toy for Megatron is a Leader class and transforms into a Batmobile-style car and a jet. His Cyber Key activates his Death Machine Gun, Death Claw, and boosters, for when in vehicle mode. The original release is a fairly even mix of green, orange, purple, and black, while the re-release, called Galvatron again, is primarily gray and silver with some black and red parts.
