Decepticon Empire
| This article is about the term in Generation 1. For the empire built up by the Second Generation Decepticons, see Cybertronian Empire. |
Although it was his ultimate goal, Megatron would never have been content with merely ruling Cybertron. It matters not that their creator intended the Transformers to be a race of peace. The Decepticons are the highest form of life in existence, conquerers who will bring order to a galaxy plagued by disorder and weak organics, which the Autobots seem intent on protecting. Thus, Megatron is destined to lead the Decepticon Empire to rule the universe. He will accept nothing less.
And only one thing is standing in his way.
