Megadeath


 * ''Megadeath is a Decepticon in the Marvel UK portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.



Megadeath is, even by Decepticon standards, quite mad. Rather than fighting for territory, Megadeath wants to sterilize whole regions of Cybertron with neutron bombs, then moves in to occupy them. This callous disregard for life horrifies even Decepticon High Command, who forbade the action and scuttled his chances of moving up in the ranks.

Megadeath has quietly recruited an elite cadre of troopers. He has cultivated and shaped these young Decepticons in his own image, to be loyal only to him on the day he may publicly challenge Megatron.

A master of psychological torture, Megadeath denies his victims respite or escape until they invariably bend to his will. He instills feelings of need, fear, helplessness and despair, then makes his victims reinforce those feelings via their own choices.

Megadeath's three closely-set eyes can fight powerful laser beams, and he has concussion cannons on each forearm. His is also equipped with missile launchers. He transforms into a bombing aircraft equipped for high-altitude observation. To power his exorbitantly energy-consumptive primary weapons, there is a nuclear power core burning behind plexiplastic inside his chest.

''Long association has led Thunderwing to label Megadeath's mastery of psychological torture an 'unhealthy obsession.' Megadeath's need to prove he has bigger ball-bearings than the next 'bot will eventually get them chopped off.

''Megadeath appears to be wearing a transforming Pretender shell. This is one of several examples of Pretender technology (including Thunderwing in the same story) predating Scorponok's alleged invention in 1987.

The villagers betrayed them when they left, bringign the c'ons in to set a trap, lookign out for their own interests. megadeath came in to witness.

Megadeaths' face had melted. She shrugged off Silverbolt's electrostatic blasts, disregarding the chance they may fry him. He drags his twisted right leg. He speaks in a very breathy quiet vhice now, shouting drains him.

Megadeath moves quicker than jazz's eye can see to grab him by the throat-- deadly as ever.

Megadeath wanted jazz to continue to suffer, denyign them madness and death for crossing him. Stampede was imobilized with his optics clamped open, forced to watch his teammates suffering. he wanted to suffer with them.

Thudnerwing did not approve of this threatment of a valiant enemy, though he did not act to stop it... he sulked.

Once you lsoe thunderwing's respect- you can't earn it back. he's an unforgiving sort.

When he refused to give up where the neutralists were- the autobots drove away. Megadeath was unable to walk away from the blast im time.

They all lied about amnesia rather than face th eknowledge of their own fear and cowardice. Silverbolt understands fear- that you have to move beyond it, even if you need to fool yourself to do it. But silverbolt told the AB's about his fear of heights- and they supproted him, so he could move beyond it.
