Megatron (Tyran)

Megatron, the former Lord High Protector (so much for that) and co-ruler of Cybertron, is vicious and extremely powerful. He is single-minded in his goals, straight forward and brutally direct in his attempts to seize those goals. He is all "blunt force" in contrast to Starscream's penchant for deceit and trickery. On the downside, Megatron tends to become so obsessed with the object of his desires that he can ignore "secondary" matters, glaring flaws in his plans (otherwise, he likely wouldn't have melted into ice-cold arctic water after being white hot from falling through Earth's atmosphere, and spent 10,000 years frozen), and even crippling injuries in pursuit of the coveted item. Trying to talk Megatron out of blindly going for his goals is useless. He will risk his world, his troops, and even his own spark to achieve his goals. These things do not matter to Megatron. Even the destruction of the Autobots is a secondary concern. In Megatron's cerebral processor, all that matters is the All Spark.

While some merely dislikes or disregards organics (since they have a tendency to get in their way), Megatron feels a violent hatred towards them and seems to view them as only slightly above a virus, with him as the cure. This may be due to having spent decades as their prisoner, but his hatred is still very extreme. If there was no All Spark, it is not that big a stretch to think he'd have come here anyway, just to cleanse one more planet of its infection.

Megatron is also a fictional character of the Transformers Live-action film series. He served as the main antagonist in Transformers and the secondary antagonist in both Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon. As Galvatron, he serves as the secondary antagonist in Age of Extinction.

- Megatron to Optimus Prime, Revenge of the Fallen

Prime Directive prequel comic


Megatron once ruled Cybertron side-by-side with Optimus Prime. For generations, the two ruled in peace. Megatron was firm, but Prime was fair, creating a nice, even balance. Sadly, he got a jonesing for the All Spark and the war started. Megatron formed an army of separatists, the Decepticons, while Prime formed his own army, the Autobots. Megatron's forces, while less noble, were more ferocious warriors. Prime eventually made the decision to launch the All Spark into deep space. When Bumblebee stalled Megatron long enough for it to be launched into space, he tore off Bumblebee's arm and crushed his voice box, then took off into space after the All Spark.

Transformers Movie Prequel (Target)


During an assault on the Autobots personally led by Megatron and his minion, Blackout, Megatron crushed an opponent's spark before casually tossing his corpse over his shoulder. Megatron declared that the All Spark would be his, to which Blackout assured his leader that he would make sure of it. Megatron was pleased by his minion's loyalty, but dispatched him to assist Starscream's unit in preventing Optimus Prime's reinforcements from entering Tyger Pax. He then left to meet his destiny, but it slipped from his grasp.

Note: Megatron's response to Blackout's pledge is mistakenly given to the latter Decepticon.

UK Transformers Comic
The All Spark had not been blindly launched into space, however - its trajectory was leading it directly towards the Alkaris Anomaly, a wormhole that could potentially transport the cube to any one of an infinite number of locations in the universe. Megatron was fully capable of catching up to the cube before it would enter the wormhole, but as he passed Cybertron's moon, he found himself ensnared by an Autobot tractor beam of remarkable strength that pulled him down to the moon's surface. Enraged by the ignominy of it all, Megatron turned his weapons on the Autobots responsible, but quickly calmed down enough to realize that this was only playing into their hands, and instead ordered Brawl to take his place in the battle. Megatron swooped back into space, hot on the All Spark's heels, but was unable to stop the cube from falling through the anomaly. Determined to have the All Spark's power, Megatron chose to enter the wormhole himself, only to be spat out in some far-off star system, with no trace of the All Spark.

In another reality, he defeated Optimus at Mission City, killed Sam Witwicky and took control of the All Spark. He was fully linked to it and drew on its power - "It is me and I am it!" - giving him greater might and the ability to heal any wound.

After conquering an unknown chunk of Earth (including the entire United States of America) with Dropkick as his second-in-command, he used the All Spark's power to start turning Earth from an organic world into a new Cybertron. Optimus Prime lay frozen in the old Sector Seven base, Autobot resistance was scattered, and NATO's threat to use nuclear weapons on occupied America was hardly much of one. The only thing bothering Megatron was those rebels breaking into Hoover Dam... Megatron personally arrived to face Bumblebee and hunted for him, trying to bait him into appearing.

Realizing the Autobot must have come with a human ally, he deliberately threatened to go after the human and thus got an emotional Bumblebee to make a defiant attack... at which point he backhanded Bumblebee into the wall and prepared to eviscerate him. He gave the Autobot a chance at a swift death if he begged for mercy, and was quite impressed when Bumblebee merely asked "that all you got?", but was less impressed when Autobot reinforcements, about 111, arrived. He effortlessly smashed them aside and was about to kill Skyblast when a new challenger arrived: the revived Optimus!

Optimus Prime got the snot beaten out of him, every attack he landed on Megatron being repaired by All Spark power. However, he distracted Megatron long enough for Bumblebee to hit him with the other thing they'd broken into the Dam for: Sector Seven's greatest weapon, a nanovirus that targeted All Spark operation frequencies. Infected, the tyrant was consumed from within by his own power and collapsed dead.

Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday
When Megatron came online, it was obvious that some time had passed. Not only was he encased in a primitive transport, but there were lifeforms fighting over him. Before Megatron could properly exterminate them, another crude transport crashed into his, causing a massive (but not spark-threatening) explosion. Megatron would have been pleased to know that the fire only added to his terrifying visage in the eyes of the maggots. Regaining his composure, Megatron noticed Phillip Nolan standing near him. As Megatron reached out to grab it, Thomas Kinnear, this one terminally damaged, began firing crude projectiles which his body armor easily deflected. Waiting until after the creature had expended its ammunition, Megatron grabbed it in his hand, only to discover that it had packed itself with explosives, which threw Megatron to the ground when they detonated. Then, the aforementioned first insect began spraying liquid nitrogen on Megatron, causing him to go back into stasis. Unable to escape, Megatron screamed a dark vengeance upon his captors.

"Humans don't deserve to live!"

- Megatron finally confronts Optimus in the battle.

Megatron eventually succeeded in tracking the All Spark to Earth, where he rather embarrassingly crash-landed in the Arctic Circle and was frozen solid for thousands of years. In 1897, some 100 Earth-years before the arrival of the other Transformers, he was discovered by an explorer named Archibald Amundsen Witwicky by an accident. Captain Witwicky accidentally activated Megatron's navigation system and caused the coordinates of the All Spark to be etched onto the explorer's glasses. Megatron remained imprisoned in the Arctic, until the 1930s, when he was dug out by the United States government and moved to a secret Sector Seven stronghold inside Hoover Dam. In the years that followed, many modern devices (by Earth standards) were supposedly reverse-engineered from his frozen body.

In the present day, having searched the galaxy for the All Spark and being drawn to Earth, the remaining Decepticons learned of Witwicky's glasses. Through the Internet, they determined the location of both Megatron and the All Spark inside Hoover Dam. Frenzy infiltrated the dam and shut down the power systems, while Starscream attacked the external powerlines, resulting in Megatron's thawing out. Once again online, the leader of the Decepticons informed the worthless insects of his true name, shouting "I am Megatron!" (to clear up all that N.B.E.-01/Ice Man nonsense), randomly killed a few of them while destroying his former prison with his mace, then transformed and flew off after the All Spark again. He met up with Starscream on the outside, and, never one for pleasantries, demanded to know where the Cube was. Upon learning that the humans had moved the All Spark, Megatron berated Starscream for yet another failure.



After Starscream and Devastator's opening attacks in Mission City, Megatron arrived. The Autobots were so panicked by the sight of their long lost nemesis that Jazz called for a temporary retreat, bravely and somewhat recklessly facing Megatron alone despite a human's cries for him to fall back. When the smaller Autobot shot at him, angering him, Megatron blasted him backwards, injuring him. Deciding to finish Jazz off with his bare hands, Megatron tossed him into the air before crushing him on top of a tower with his clawed talons. Jazz vainly fought on, asking if Megatron wanted a "piece" of him, but doing little damage to Megatron. The Decepticon leader killed the Autobot by tearing him in half, callously declaring that he wanted "two".



As the human boy ran off with the All Spark, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack. Brawl attacked the "armed insects", while Starscream and Blackout fought Ironhide and Ratchet for the All Spark. At that moment, Optimus Prime appeared and challenged Megatron. Thousands of years in the ice, however, had done nothing to lessen Megatron's hatred for his brother. Barely managing to growl out Prime's name, he transformed and flew at Prime at full speed. The Autobot leader leapt and grabbed a hold of Megatron, who slammed him into a building before flying right through a skyscraper. Both leaders landed in the middle of an intersection, but Megatron was the first to recover and leaped upon his brother, snarling that the humans were undeserving of life. Optimus Prime replied that they had the right to choose for themselves. Hearing this, the snarling Megatron tossed Optimus aside.



Megatron declared that if Prime wished to defend them, he should "join them in extinction", forming his fusion cannon. Before he could fire, the Autobot leader drew his ion blaster and fired, hitting Megatron. The Decepticon leader shrugged off this attack, spun around from the momentum and fired his cannon, throwing Optimus Prime into the side of a building.

Megatron pursued the young human who had removed the All Spark from Hoover Dam, destroying everything that stood in his way. The boy ran to a dilapidated building that was the designated coordinates for a human military evacuation team, and Megatron smashed his way through, yelling that he could smell the human maggot. Starscream destroyed the helicopter intended to take the All Spark, and Megatron burst through the floor, inquiring if it was courage or fear that compelled him. Finally cornering him on a ledge, Megatron offered that if the human gave him the All Spark, the boy might live as his pet. The Decepticon leader relished the human's defiant refusal and destroyed the ledge the human was standing upon, sending the boy tumbling to the ground.

Unfortunately, the human was caught by Optimus Prime, who then tried to escape down the side of the building before Megatron tackled him and sent all three slamming into the pavement. As a nearby human bystander attempted to crawl away, the Decepticon expressed his disgust at the insect's proximity and flicked it away. Protecting the young boy, Prime declared that their war would end here and it was now just between the two brothers. Though lusting for the All Spark, Megatron decided to indulge his brother's obvious death wish, declaring that only he was in this fight. Despite Optimus Prime's best efforts, Megatron was relentless, matching the Autobot leader with blow after devastating blow until he collapsed. Adding insult to injury, Megatron informed Prime that his defense of the "weak" was the real reason he lost.



The Decepticon leader turned his attention back to the human boy, but was suddenly attacked by the human fighter jets and Captain Lennox's ground soldiers firing sabot rounds. Optimus took this chance, striking Megatron and knocking him down, knocking off his left leg. His armor a damaged, shattered mess, Megatron ignored the punishment and focused on the human boy, growling that he would kill the boy and that the All Spark was his. As Optimus Prime ordered the boy to place the All Spark into his chest, Sam instead pushed it into the now-exposed spark in Megatron's chest, overloading him with energy and extinguishing the Decepticon's life force. As Optimus Prime stood over Megatron's lifeless shell, watching the light flicker out of his brother's optics, he remarked somberly, yet remorsefully, that Megatron had left him no choice, and removed a shard of the All Spark from his brother's spark cavity.

Megatron's body was dumped into the Laurentian Abyss at its deepest point, along with the remains of the other Decepticons, where the extreme pressure and near-freezing temperatures would -- hopefully-- crush and entomb them forever.

That didn't work out too well.

Revenge of the Fallen film

 * Voice actor: Hugo Weaving (English)

"Is the future of our race not worth a single human life?"

- Megatron, along with Starscream and Grindor, rounds up Optimus during their battle in the forest

It is revealed that Megatron was not searching for the AllSpark for himself, but rather for his master The Fallen. However, after the destruction of both Megatron and the cube, Fallen began to look for the Matrix of Leadership to use the Star Harvester and had the cons look for cube shards to revive Megatron.

Two years after his death, the leader of Earth began to think that the Decepticons remained on Earth to seek revenge on the Autobots for Megatron's death. However, Optimus knew better and knew that it was more than that.

At one point, shortly after stealing the last official All Spark Shard, Ravage, Long Haul, Rampage, Mixmaster, and Scrapmetal go to the ocean to locate Megatron's corpse. They succeed in reactivating their fallen leader by the hand of Scalpel, who orders to kill Scrapmetal and uses his parts to repair the damages. He also receives a new alternate form of a Cybertronian flying tank and the death-lock pincer.

After being revived, Megatron then left the Ocean, taking out a Ballistic Submarine in the process, and flew straight to one of Saturn's moons which had the shipwrecked Nemesis sitting on its surface, where he saw Starscream for the first time since his Death. Despite Starscream's apparent loyalty to Megatron and joy at his return, Megatron was not too happy about Starscream leaving him for dead and angrily pummeled him for it, despite Starscream's rationale that he did it to help Megatron assemble the Decepticons to Earth. Afterwards, he bowed down to his master, reporting that he failed to retrieve the All Spark, and that it's destroyed. The Fallen forgave Megatron though, and revealed that the All Spark wasn't actually destroyed. As a matter of fact, it transformed and took the host of Sam Witwicky. Megatron requested permission to rip the information from the flesh of his body to avenge himself, Fallen told him that he will in time. The Fallen also told Megatron that only a Prime can defeat him, and there is only one left. Megatron told Fallen that Optimus protected Sam, to which the Fallen ordered Megatron to capture Sam and draw out Optimus.



Later, Megatron, with Grindor and Starscream, managed to capture Sam Witwicky, Mikaela Banes, and Leo Spitz. With The Doctor, he tried to get a map to an Energon source reading out of Sam Witwicky using Scalpel and his assistants. Optimus Prime and several of the Autobots then managed to save them and escape. However, Megatron followed Optimus into the woods and battled him. Optimus proved to be an easy match for for Megatron and the Decepticon ordered Grindor and Starscream to assist him. After receiving a heavy beating, Prime engaged them and proved that his is basically the robot Chuck Norris and also killed Grindor. Megatron however managed to stab Optimus Prime behind, and shot him with his cannon, destroying his spark. This allowed his master to enact his plans without fear of being killed. After the battle, Megatron and Starscream attempted to get the boy, but were forced to retreat due to the reinforcements. Despite successfully killing Optimus Prime, Starscream failed to capture Sam, resulting in another beatdown from Megatron, this time with Starscream's own arm. Starscream scariedly said that the boy could be anywhere. Megatron then said it was time for the world to know of their existence and thus the Fallen and a squad of Decepticon's arrived to Earth and revealed themselves. With Megatron's help, Fallen was able to broadcast his demands for the boy across the world.

Megatron and his Decepticon's headed to Egypt after learning of Sam's location. Starscream informed Megatron that N.E.S.T troops had brought Prime's body. Megatron realized their plan and ordered all Decepticon's to attack before Prime could be revived.

Megatron managed to kill a few N.E.S.T. soldiers during the Egypt battle. Despite the aerial bombarding of his entire Decepticon squad, Megatron makes it through, and blasted Sam Witwicky, mortally wounding him during an intense bombing raid. After Optimus Prime's revival, Fallen himself teleported into in Egypt and took the Matrix from Prime's body and crushed some of his chest in. Megatron and Fallen meet on the pyramid and activated the machine. N.E.S.T's tanks attempted to stop them, but Fallen revealed his incredible power and lifted them off the ground with out touching them and dropped them. However his former follower Jetfire sacrificed himself and merged with Optimus Prime to give him to power of flight. Optimus flew up to the pyramid and grabbed Fallen. Fallen managed to teleport a few inches away from Optimus but the Autobot leader destroyed the Star Harvester which also caused Megatron to be thrown off. Fallen and Optimus battled on the ground, Megatron tried to attack Optimus, but got half of his face blown off by his own fusion cannon, then got his right arm sliced off by Prime's energon blade, and was finally sent flying through a wall by Prime's jet engines. Badly maimed and damaged, Megatron called out Starscream in agony. The Fallen was eventually killed by Optimus Prime, much to Megatron's shock and dismay. Starscream told Megatron that he recommended a "tactical retreat". Megatron complied and fled, but vowed that the battle between him and Prime was not over.



Dark of the Moon film

 * Voice actor: Hugo Weaving (English), Koutarou Nakamura (Japanese)

"This is my planet!!!"

- Megatron viciously turns on Sentinel Prime

It was revealed that During the war on Cybertron, before the AllSpark was lost to Earth, Autobot leader Sentinel Prime made a secret deal with Megatron. Once the war left Cybertron in ruin, Megatron would arrange to bring an army to Earth with Sentinel's space bridge pillar's to enslave its population to rebuild Cybertron together. Sentinel was to meet with Megatron (who was at the time searching for the cube for the Fallen) using the spaceship known as the Ark; however, due to Megatron falling into stasis in the Arctic and Sentinel Prime crash-landing on the moon, this plan was abandoned. In between 2009 and 2012, while Megatron was repairing himself, he decided to reactivate this plan. As he knew the Matrix of Leadership could revive dead Transformers and it was in Optimus Prime's possession after the Fallen's death, Megatron simply needed Optimus to revive Sentinel so the tyrant and the turncoat Autobot could continue their plan.

Three years after "Operation: Firestorm" and the death of the Fallen, Megatron finally adopted an Earth form a M915 Line-Haul. The ex-tyrant hid out in the plains of Tanzania, Africa in exile. Still visibly bearing the scars of his latest battle with Optimus Prime, he covered himself with a cloak and seemed to have lost his ability to fly. Due to his injuries, he was also too weak to fight. Megatron set up a Decepticon refugee camp with a throne all composed of junk that they were able to find, with only Starscream, Soundwave, Laserbeak, and the diminutive Igor to command. Having lost his fusion cannon in his previous battle with Optimus, Megatron now wielded a fusion shotgun. Megatron regularly went out to find food for the Hatchlings that lived in a collection of oil drums at the camp, occasionally scaring the local wildlife with his roaring and bellowing.



Megatron returned after a hunting trip to feed the Hatchlings that he had stored in containers. There, Megatron met with Starscream, Soundwave and Laserbeak after scaring off animals grazing. His second-in-command expressed his concern, but Megatron told him to stick it in his hard drive and to remember what he was told. Laserbeak returned after observing Shockwave's fight with Optimus and told Megatron that the Autobots had discovered a fuel cell from the Ark, which had been thought lost. Megatron congratulated Soundwave for tracking the ship to the moon and for protecting its secret. Megatron then announced that the humans that were working for him had served their purpose, and ordered Laserbeak to summarily execute them. One of the executed was Jerry Wang.



After Sentinel Prime revealed his true colors to the Autobots and murdered Ironhide, Megatron rendezvoused with him on the National Mall and destroyed the statue of Abraham Lincoln in order to have a throne as he watched Sentinel use the space bridge to bring a Decepticon force to Earth from Moon. He also witnessed Optimus attempt to stop him in vain. Megatron explained to Starscream that he and Sentinel made a deal to rebuild Cybertron together and were supposed to meet on Earth before they were both waylaid. However, after seeing that the Matrix was able to revive Optimus three years earlier, Megatron simply need Optimus to revive Sentinel as only a Prime or someone who earns the respect of them can use the Matrix. Megatron triumphantly witnessed the arrival of the Decepticon invasion force and proclaimed, "Here we are, fight us now".

Megatron met up with Sentinel in Chicago and helped to set up the space bridge. He ordered their human operative, Dylan Gould, to be gone as his purpose was served, Dylan agreed but muttered to Carly, who he took hostage, "He's such a dick". Megatron then ordered the Decepticons to attack at the request of Sentinel. The Decepticons succeeded in occupying Chicago. Megatron began to gloat about the victory with Sentinel. However, Sentinel felt that his partner was getting too chummy and attacked him, reminding Megatron that he had agreed to work with him, not for him.



Dylan later shouted to Megatron that the Autobots were in fact alive and in the city (after believing them to be dead after Starscream blew up the shuttle). Megatron ordered the Decepticons to defend the pillar's and had all bridges raised.

Megatron watched the arrival of Cybertron from an alleyway and stayed out of the battle until Carly Spencer told him that Sentinel planed to rule alone and that Megatron will be "his bitch". Megatron, enraged that a puny fleshling would refer to him as such, attempted to kill Carly, but realizing that she was right, stopped just before he hit her. He then left to deal with Sentinel, who was fighting Optimus.



Just as Optimus was about to be killed, Megatron viciously attacked Sentinel from behind and severely injured him, declaring that Earth was "his" planet to rule. However, before Megatron could finish off the traitorous Prime, the Decepticon leader was shocked to see Cybertron collapsing after the space bridge was destroyed. Seeing his plans in ruins, Megatron tossed the weakened Sentinel aside and offered Optimus a truce on the condition that he would remain in charge of the Decepticons, slyly asking; "Who would you be without me Prime?" However, Optimus realized that Megatron's offer was not sincere, so he refused, saying; "Time to find out". Megatron prepared to shoot his shotgun, but Optimus grabbed his battle axe and swung it at his foe, disarming him. Optimus then impaled Megatron in the head, then ripped it off, finally killing the tyrant. Optimus then used Megatron's shotgun to end Sentinel's life as well.

Age of Extinction film
Megatron was not dead in the battle of Chicago, he was just not functioning. He wanted the Seed. Knowing that KSI, Cemetery Wind and Lockdown has the Seed, he decided to bide his time. Soon, he influences KSI to build a new body and he was called "Galvatron". Joshua Joyce wanted it to look like Optimus Prime, but it looked more terrifying. KSI then deployed Galvatron and Stinger to go after the Autobots. In a field, Optimus Prime, while fighting with him, realizes that Galvatron is a reborn Megatron. Brains knew about this earlier, but whenever he spoke out (because he was captured by KSI), he is tortured.

Autobot campaign
After arriving at Hoover Dam, Bumblebee saw Megatron and the All Spark being held in the same room, which was guarded by lasers. After bringing down the lasers, Bumblebee managed to shrink the All Spark, while under fire by Megatron. Following the Autobots to Mission City, Megatron ignominiously "flicked" Bumblebee away, then tried to grab the All Spark from Sam. Optimus Prime arrived and the two fought in the Mission City park. After Prime believed that he had destroyed Megatron, Sam handed the All Spark to Prime, but Megatron exploded back to life, jumped into the air with his flail, making one last attempt at killing Prime. However, Optimus caught the flail in its path and yanked Megatron towards him, ramming the All Spark into his chest and killing him.

Decepticon campaign




After learning Megatron's location, Blackout and Starscream sabotaged the dam's power, allowing Megatron to thaw out and awaken. After Megatron emerged, Starscream and Blackout bowed before their master, who declared that they had much to do. After the Decepticons dispatched the Autobots, Megatron, hoping to draw Prime out, went on a rampage in Mission City, declaring that the city would burn beneath his feet (this means toastie toes, but he's willing to make that sacrifice). Megatron and Prime played a game of cat and mouse, with Megatron tracking Prime and Sam, until Megatron finally destroyed Prime, then safely merged the All Spark with his spark, becoming even more powerful in the process. After decimating Earth, Megatron took the Lincoln Memorial as his throne, then ordered Starscream, Brawl, and Barricade to finish the planet, before going on to conquer the galaxy.

Transformers: Autobots (DS)
Having landed on Earth some thousands of years ago, Megatron is thought to be frozen somewhere in the Arctic. As the Autobots look for clues as to his location, they eventually arrive in the frozen desert long enough to realize the humans have found him, as well as the AllSpark (sic). Once they hack into the communications array at the base, they find documentation leading to the Hoover Dam, where the Autobots and Decepticons race. Some wishing to free him, most hoping to destroy him, the Transformers fight over the base until the Decepticon leader is finally freed. Once out of cryo-storage, Megatron proceeds to steal the AllSpark from the Autobots and begin a destructive rampage through Tranquility, until he is finally defeated by Optimus Prime and Create-A-Bot.

Transformers: Decepticons (DS)
With Megatron frozen in the Hoover Dam, the Decepticons fight to free their leader. However, as is quickly made apparent, Starscream and his young protege, a Create-A-Bot, seek to eliminate their leader. This quickly changes, as Create-A-Bot is convinced by Barricade to free their commander, as Starscream is a back-stabbing bureaucrat while Megatron is a truly zealous leader. Even though both would kill you in an instant, Megatron would at least do it to your face so you could see it coming.

Once free, Megatron quickly takes the time to wipe out Jazz, who has been left at the bridge to help get rid of Megatron. After a fairly short battle, Megatron smashes Jazz into the dirt, leaving him to die. Back in Tranquility, he chases after Starscream, only to be blocked by Optimus Prime. Once the sibling rivalry is finished, Prime is left in pieces in the streets of Tranquility.

Arriving in the Casino Strip, Megatron finds Create-A-Bot damaged and Starscream flying away. Giving chase, he attacks his traitorous second-in-command, nearly destroying him despite his awesome All Spark driven powers. Starscream uses his last breath to insult Megatron before being killed by the tyrant. Returning to Create-A-Bot's side, Megatron takes a moment to call him a weakling and a failure, completely forgetting about the fact that Create-A-Bot saved him, led him to Starscream, destroyed the Autobots, and served him more loyally than most of his other followers. Taking a moment to let this sink in, Megatron went on to tell him that the weak are made to serve the strong, then ripped the young Decepticon apart and ate his Spark. Megatron then took off into the sky with intentions unknown.

Megatron was resurrected at Deep-6 after the destruction of the naval fleet guarding his body. The Decepticons were all honored to have him back, except of course, for Starscream, who openly vowed to re-take his position as Decepticon leader. Megatron dismissed Starscream's defiance, and consulted the Fallen, who ordered him to recover the Matrix of Leadership. Megatron then informed the ignorant rookie what the Matrix was and why it was necessary to recover.

Megatron later entered Area 51 to get some target practice on NEST. Later, he deployed to a Decepticon communications base in Arabia to protect it from being captured by the Autobots. Megatron later went to Cairo, Egypt, for the final battle. The player's character recovers the Matrix of Leadership, and then killed Optimus Prime. After Create-a-bot delivered the news of Prime's death, the Fallen berated Megatron for his failure to kill Optimus, and replaced him with the rookie as his apprentice.
