Megatron (One)

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 One.

The humble energon miner known only as D-16 was a stickler to protocol, a Megatronus Prime fanboy who believed strict adherence to the system and its rules would one day allow him to ascend to greater heights. His attitude often served as a reality check and grounding presence to his best friend, the bold and adventurous Orion Pax. However, after experiencing events that left his entire worldview turned upside down, D-16 would embark on a path consumed by anger and revenge... a path that corrupted him into a despotic villain even worse than the one he rose up to fight against. A villain called Megatron.

“	The age of Primes has ended! No more false prophets! Follow me, and you will never again be deceived!! RISE UP!!!	”
—D-16 declaring a new era, Transformers One

Toys

One

• Megatron/D-16 (Mega Changers, 2024)

• Accessories: Fusion Cannon

Another repackage of the Authentics Titan Changer, this time released as part of the rebranded "Mega Changers" line of Transformers One toys.

Super Megatron 2, Electric Boogaloo

• Optimus Prime vs. Megatron (Robot Battlers, 2024)

• Accessories: Energon sword, Fusion Cannon, base

Based on his appearance on Transformers One, Megatron transforms from a robot to a Cybertronian tank. The figure can be placed on a base in order to perform action moves by sliding the finger slots, with the goal of knocking an opponent's figure off of their base. He is packaged in a 2-pack set with Optimus Prime, and includes an additional cannon accessory that plugs over his arm alongside the standard Energon sword.

• Megatron/D-16 & Decepticon Whirlwing (Race & Blast 2-Pack, 2024)

This Target-exclusive "Race & Blast" Megatron is a retool of Robots in Disguise Overload, with a new head, chest, shins, and cannon. He transforms into a Cybertronian tank. In this mode, the front clamp between his treads can be loaded with his partner Whirlwing—or any other Cyclone-style Mini-Con—and launched by pushing the trigger next to his Fusion Cannon.

• Optimus Prime/Orion Pax vs. Megatron/D-16 (Race Changers, 2024)

• Accessories: launcher

"Race Changers" Megatron/D-16 is, shockingly, a retool of the tank version of Bot Shots Megatron from 2012. The design of the front of the tank has been changed and missile pods have been added to the back of the tank. He features a spring-loaded automatic transformation to robot mode triggered when his front is pressed. His chest spinner no longer has the battle gimmick, only a Decepticon insignia on one side with the other sides left blank. The included launcher is a new design.

Megatron comes in a Target-exclusive 2-pack with Optimus Prime/Orion Pax. They can be launched at each other for combative play or have the launchers connected side-by-side for racing action. Interestingly, the launchers have "2017" molded into their bottoms, whereas the original Bot Shots toyline ended in 2013. This suggests these remolds were made for an earlier toyline but ultimately weren't released until now.

Talking about this toy will make you feel like you're playing chess.

• Megatron/D-16 / Optimus Prime/Orion Pax / Autobot Mirage (Racing Warrior 3-pack, Summer 2024)

• Megatron (Deluxe Class, 2024)

• Movie: Transformers One
• Hasbro ID number: 114
• Accessories: Fusion Cannon, Arm Cannon, 2 small cannons, turret base, Cybertron backdrop
• Known designers: Koki Yamada (TakaraTomy)

Released in the final wave of 2024 Studio Series toys, Megatron is based on his intermediate form in Transformers One, transforming into a Cybertronian tank. He comes with his fusion cannon as well as a smaller arm cannon, both of which can mount on either arm and which combine to form the turret of the tank mode. He also comes with a backdrop depicting Cybertron as seen in the film.

Megatron was first revealed at San Diego Comic Con along with the rest of Studio Series wave 4. This figure was included in a special "Media Influencer Box" sent out to select parties in late September 2024- two months before the figure's scheduled release.

Notes

• D-16's cogless form with his black, dome-shaped helmet resembles Megatron's Marvel Comics appearance, which in turn was based on concept art for an unproduced prototype version of the original Takara Micro Change figure.
