Description
Megatron is the leader of the Predacons with the ability to take on six forms . He claims to have decimated numerous planets during his campaign for Predacon supremacy before coming to Earth in search of the megaweapon Fortress Maximus . He appears to have come into conflict with Optimus Prime and his Autobots numerous times before.
Although Megatron is a great and powerful warrior, he typically leaves the fighting to his Predacon lackeys, such asSky-Byte , preferring to stalk around his headquarters the Megastar and berate his underlings when they inevitably fail. Upon his conversion to Galvatron, he is a lot more active and effective. His primary attack seems to be his Cutter Beam technique. As Galvatron, he can increase his power by draining the life energy of other beings![1]

He wants the whole world, in his hand...
Megatron arrived on Earth in search of Fortress Maximus by orders of the Predacon Council Surprise Attack! with a cover story of plundering Earth's energy. His first appearance was at the International Scientific Symposium in New York , during which he and the Predacon trio fought Optimus Prime and the Autobot Brothers . Although the battle did not go well, Megatron was able to abduct Doctor Kenneth Onishi , an energy expert and archaeologist. Battle Protocol! Doctor Onishi was subjected to the psycho-probe which was proving to be slow work in extracting information. In the meantime, Megatron sent his minions out to steal energy to refuel theMegastar, only occasionally venturing out himself to help them.
Attempting to provide a distraction for Sky-Byte's mission to some ruins, Megatron and the Predacon trio attacked Metro City , fightingTeam Bullet Train . The Secret of the Ruins Another plan to trap Optimus Prime started off well — Megatron disguising himself as a red sports car proved to be an effective method to trap the Autobot Side Burn and they were soon able to trap Optimus as well. Megatron took great pleasure in punishing the Autobot leader until the rest of the Autobots mounted a rescue and the Predacons were forced to flee. Sideburn's Obsession
I DO NOT NEED ANGER MANAGEMENT!
With little information forthcoming from the psycho-probing of Doctor Onishi, the Predacons stole a disk left by the doctor, leading them to attack a steam train under the mistaken assumption it was a weapon of some sort. This did not help Megatron's temper.Secret Weapon: D-5 Nor did the destruction of his Mega-Laser Cannon by the Autobots. Mirage's Betrayal In an attempt to destroy their foe, Megatron and Sky-Byte entered the International Grand Prix which the Autobots had also entered in an attempt to find one of their number who'd gone rogue. Megatron managed to trap Optimus and the three brothers under a huge rock, but the rogue Autobot, Skid-Z , turned up in time to rescue them and Megatron was sent packing. Skid Z's Choice
"Are you saying that there's a Decepticon who stole my name, crash-landed here and got frozen a hundred years ago and is secretly being hidden inside this dam while humans steal his technology for themselves ? DO YOU REALIZE HOW STUPID THAT SOUNDS?!
After several more failed missions, the interrogation of Dr. Onishi finally saw results in the discovery of a crashed Autobot spaceship in America. Megatron was able to snatch six protoforms from the ship and took them to the nearby McKinley Army Base where he imbued them with energy from his spark and gave them new forms as Decepticons. The Decepticons Eager to test his new troops, he sent them to destroy Sherman Dam and hacked into the primitive human television transmissions in order to extort the humans in the nearby city of Los Bogus into surrendering. Unfortunately, things did not go well and Megatron was left looking embarrassed in front of all the humans. Commandos
Megatron largely stayed back at base after these incidents until the Commandos were able to sabotage the Autobot Global Space Bridge . With the Autobots unable to reach specific destinations, Megatron and Scourge attacked an energy facility near the North Pole. Unfortunately for them, the Autobots were able to get the space bridge repaired in time for Megatron to be seen off by Landfill .Landfill
Dragon-back rides were the hit of the fair!
Megatron was especially interested in the arrival of a new Autobot, Ultra Magnus , who had an intense rivalry with Optimus Prime. Ultra Magnus After Magnus badly damaged Prime in a fight, causing the latter to retreat to an island to recuperate, Megatron saw his chance and personally led the attack on Optimus Prime. The attack might have succeeded if it weren't for the arrival of Ultra Magnus, who merged with Optimus to form the powerful Omega Prime . Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!
After the capture of the three Autobot brothers, Megatron again ventured out and was able to successfully fight Optimus, who was unwilling to fight back while the three brothers were under threat. Even after the brothers were freed, Megatron attempted to stomp the trio, only to have them fight back after they supercharged under the influence of mysterious energy channelled through Ultra Magnus.The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus
Finally, information obtained from Dr Onishi led the Decepticons to discover the location of Fortress Maximus and the fulfilling of Megatron's quest. Fortress Maximus Although the Autobots hid Fortress Maximus, Megatron had his men try to track down the rest of theO-Parts . The Autobots again got there first, but Megatron was able to take Wedge hostage, offering him back in exchange for the O-Parts. The exchange was ruined by Sky-Byte, which didn't exactly endear the Predacon to his master. A Friendly Contest
Arise, Chooktimus Prime
The Decepticons subsequently tracked the Autobots to the Sahara Desert , Megatron leading the mission himself. By the time they caught up to the Autobots, Optimus had already located the Orb of Sigma , the key to finding Fortress Maximus' commanding entityCerebros , in a deep cavern. Megatron attempted to take the Orb, but was caught in a booby trap which seized him in a powerful energy field. Soon he and Optimus were locked in combat, resulting in Megatron disappearing in the collapsing cavern. In the aftermath, the three beast Predacons pulled themselves out of the rubble, only to have their energy drained. Megatron was back with a new form and name—Galvatron. Peril from the Past
...wait, that's proper scale . What are they playing at in Japan?!
Galvatron rejoined his troops as Scourge attempted to take control of Fortress Maximus in the heart of Metro City. He proclaimed Megatron dead and he himself to be an entirely new person. Though the attempt to control Fortress Maximus was unsuccessful, Galvatron seized Cerebros during the retreat. Maximus Emerges
Scourge's second attempt to control Maximus failed as well, leading the Decepticons to try and capture Koji Onishi , the Autobots' pet human. Instead they got hold of Koji's friend Karl , but Galvatron accompanied Scourge and Sky-Byte to Maximus's location. Once Karl had taken control of the titan, Scourge turned on his master, ordering Karl to destroy Galvatron. With the attempt a failure, Galvatron stunned his minion and retreated. Mistaken Identity
Galvatron used one of his new abilities to seize the traitorous Decepticons in an energy field and forcibly reprogram them to serve him. Placing them under the command of Sky-Byte, he then sent them to attack the Autobot base. Although the Decepticons and Predacons were led into a trap by the Autobots, Galvatron brought the Megastar to the battle, growing in size to join with the battle station as its right hand. After Fortress Maximus destroyed the battle station, Galvatron fell, apparently lifeless, to the ground. Surprise Attack! Not finished yet, Galvatron used his new vampiric powers to drain energy from Maximus. When confronted by Omega Prime, Galvatron demonstrated another new ability, releasing from his mouth thousands of cyber-bats which took control of Earth's children. The Autobots were forced to call a retreat.
Have at thee!
Galvatron sent his Decepticon forces in after the Autobots, intending to kill two birds with one stone—he used his Striker Lance to rupture the wall of the Global Space Bridge, flooding it with lava. Galvatron's Revenge The Autobots soon escaped, but Galvatron was able to swiftly seize them in an energy field, only losing Optimus Prime when the other Autobots shielded their leader from Galvatron's energies. Optimus and Ultra Magnus again combined into Omega Prime to confront Galvatron, leading him through the space bridge to Earth's core for a final confrontation.
When Omega Prime used the Matrix Blade to destroy Galvatron's Striker Lance, the resulting explosion (and apparent release of Galvatron's absorbed energies) was enough to defeat the villain. He was last seen being exiled to the Asteroid Prison Colony, swearing that he would return to seek revenge. The Final Battle
