Description Before he was a gladiator, he was a slave miner, at least that what I think. There are many fan fiction stories of him in past that portrayed him as a worker miner before he was force to fight in the Pits of Kaon.

Back then he was more slimmer and less buff then what he is today. His attitude was different, as his expression is shown in this picture. Constantly aware of his surrounding and even a bit nerves or fearful.

Accidents happens in the mines all the time, I believe that how his father or sire died. However Megatron was lucky enough to survived the brutal environment of the mines. With potential threats from other mechs and devastating occurrence in the mines. There no telling what could happen in the pits of those dreadful mines.

Listing to Sonne - Rammstein while drawing this

Here the short story, its really more of a drabble actually.


Young Megatron has been working in the mines for Primus knows how long. He rarely gets any energon rations, and sometimes he would be too tired and miserable to work. But he has to look alive in order for the slave master not to whip him.

Every smash he makes with his pick, always seems to tired him out. The odor wasn't the only thing that bothers him, but the dust it self was enough to make even the most hardy of mechs to wheeze. And when ever he hits hard metallic surface with his pick, the dust just poof out of the rough walls, contaminating his insides.

Accidents always happens in the mines, some are small others are large. When there is an explosion or a mass cave in, the bodies of the unfortunate piles up. But what did slave masters care, when ever someone dies in the mines they get easily replaced.

Although Megatron tries to mind his business while working in the mines, he can't seem to stop looking at the other unfortunate mechs that were being bullied and raped by the larger and tougher miners. They get the chance to do these unspeakable crimes whenever the slave masters or foremen are not around. Such crimes has driven the victims mad and the environment of this horrid place just make it worse,
thus suicide becomes common here.

Unfortunately a group of larger mechs had their eyes on Megatron for a while. And whenever the slave masters temporary leave the area to answer a distress call further down in the mines again. They took the opportunity to confront him. Megatron hesitantly raise his pick as his only defense weapon against the larger brutes. They look at him and laughed, mocking him and his weapon. Megatron snap in anger, and slash one of the larger brutes with his pick. The larger Mech scream in pain as he was slashed in the eye. Megatron tried to hit him again this time aiming for his head. However the larger brute dodge it and punch Megatron in the gut.

The young miner was thrown down to the ground as he was quickly surrounded by five large mechs. All four of them hold him down while the leader of the group came closer to him. From there on, all of the other mechs could hears his cries and screams, begging for them to stop.

After that indecent, he became frighten and extra weary of them. And it became worse when he started to become a every day target.

One day he was saved by a larger unknown mech that fought them with his pick and his claws. He beat them to a bloody pulp, and when the slave master rush to see what was going on, the battle was already over. Megatron was surprised and inspired by the larger mech fighting skills.
From there on, he taught him self how to fight and defend himself on his free time. When the time came for him to bullied again, he stand his ground and fought against them. It was six against one, but Megatron took advantage of getting the upper hand against them.

At his final battle, after all five were beaten to a bloody pulp, the last mech was surprised by his strength before going in to blind rage and ran towards Megatron. Slowly raising his pick, Megatron throw his weapon directly at the larger mech's eye, before brutally beating the crap out of him. After weeks of defending himself and others victims, the bullies stop bothering him. Megatron's reputation became well known in the mines as he was now the most feared mech in the mines.

However that doesn't stop the slave master from beating him. They get the chance of whipping him when ever they can, even if he was working. He became fearful once again of what the slave master and miner foreman are going to do to him if he stop for one second. However they always target the poor, the weak and the tired, when ever they get the chance so he wasn't much of a target to them.

One day Megatron was being beaten again for no apparent reason by one of the slave masters. As it was expected, Megatron lash at in anger and brutally beat and killed his slave master. While all of the other slave miners look up to him in awe as they witness it. It wasn't too long for the rest of the slave masters to grab him, beat him in front of everyone and took him to the torture room. Where he was whipped twelve times on his back. The pain was intense, Megatron thought he was going to pass out, but luckily he didn't and was taken to the medic.

At the end of the cycle, all of the slave miners are brought up to the surface from the mines in chains where they are greeted by the brightness of the sun. The sun always temporally blinds him, but it what he wanted to see every day of his life.

Megatron desires the sun's light, he desire freedom.
Never ever to be drag in the darkness of the mines, where the sun never shines.

One day he and the other slave miners rebelled against their cruel of slave masters. Every slave master and foremen where brutally killed by he miners. The rebellion started a mass riot in the mines lead by Megatron. Finally they climbed up to the surface where the sun shines upon them once more, never being in the dark again.

In till Megatron was captured and was sent to Kaon...

Sorry about earlier, I was delayed before I could finish this.


Note: No one really knows what happen to that large unknown mech, rumors has it that he died in some accident.

Interesting idea, great drawing, and a cute face expression. However, I can't really imagine him being bullied by others. If I were a master I wouldn't really like my property being damaged by others. Loss of revenues, you see.
By the way, have you read Down a notch or eight? (If not, and you are above 18, follow this link to AO3 and heed the warnings there. [link] . Slagging AO3 is being slaggish, but the LJ link is here: [link] )

in G1 in the comic books anyway (i think the comic books were even before the show it self sice transformers was a toy line first) n Megatron was a minor for energon n these minors were treated as if slaves really. some time later the Autobots let them go but they had no place to go no place to really call home but the mines. some bots started a riot then and there n killed thats when Meg's snap n killed one of the cops or w.e n he saw what he had done n flip out. once he got out of the riot he went off to be a gladiator n became the best out of them all. (also all his fights and everyone else were recored n sold thats y the autobots knew about him ) i love both stories TFP n G1. but the G1 went into more detail about it. its a REALLY good story!!!! <3

I imagine him working in the mines, tired and miserable..

Smashing his pick on the hard metallic surface

Constantly aware of the other worker mech trying to make a move on him

Unfortunately he has physically and sexually assaulted by them

But in other times, he stand his ground and fight off against them

Fearful of what the slave master and miner foreman are going to do to him if he stop for one second. Always whipping the poor, the weak and the tired, with their metal flogging whips.

The sound of loud metal smashing metallic cave walls, drilling, and metal work constantly heard in his audio receptors.

Dust and debris fills his insides; He tries to cough it out, but what the point anyway he in a mine.

And when the work is done for today, he brought to the surface where the sun always temporally blinded him at first sight.

Always ways longing for freedom...

This is something I came up while listening to Sonne by Rammstein

Tell me what you think

I've seen the videoclip and already associated it with Megatron's past, maybe that's why. Ruining our childhood on two planes at the same time? Rammstein style.
Don't get me wrong, I know that the song in itself can be taken very seriously. It is the associations that made me laugh.

winddragon24 In reply to Krande [2013-01-27 19:08:08 +0000 UTC]

Ok....First of all, I never intended to ruins anyone childhood, I just thought of megatron's past when I watched the rammstein sonne video that all...I still don't find it funny whats so ever.

People used their favorite music and make tributes to their favorite character using such music (either it reminds them of their favorite character's past or not), so it should not be a big surprise to you. I just watched the video, I didn't make a tribute video or anything..

Krande In reply to winddragon24 [2013-01-27 21:38:36 +0000 UTC]

I see. I meant "ruining your childhood" for Sonne and S.W. (<-- S.W. is the name of a character appearing in the videoclip, huge spoiler for those who haven't seen it yet) and I by no means intended to suggest you did anything wrong there. You have a huge point with Sonne as the inspiration, it's just funny, still.
Btw I have miners in my ancestry

winddragon24 In reply to Krande [2013-01-28 14:43:49 +0000 UTC]

To be honest with you I only listen the music, and even thou I saw the video I don't think much of it other then the miner scene (cybertornian miners desired the sun's light while forced to work for an their evil masters in the darkness of mines)

And yes that video is a childhood ruiner. You know, now that I thought of it, that video is kinda funny. That really cool that you have miners in your ancestry.

He was a miner in Exodus, but in Prime it's stated he was a gladiator. He could've been both, probably forced into both.

In Exodus, he was a miner, then became a Gladiator, and then a revolutionary with Orion Pax, until Orion was made into a Prime and then he turned on him.

Krande In reply to winddragon24 [2013-01-27 16:56:23 +0000 UTC]

I think it was a designation like many family names refer to the place of origin of that said family. D-16 was the place he came from. That was the closest thing he had to a name.

((That's the in-story expanation. One that I love, however, is that his original G1 toy could be retconned to be named D-16 as D- was the code for Decepticon figures and his plastic was numbered 16.))

Yeppp. Poor Megs. His fanon backstory just cries for fix fics. (And you know what? I answered that call too. [link] - Because in Shattered Glass, his master is a nice mech!) And also it cries for cute young Megs arts!

winddragon24 In reply to Krande [2013-01-28 14:37:50 +0000 UTC]

I kind of like to imgine that megatron probably had a mother who is a signal parent, that raised him as a sparkling before he was taken away to become a slave, and that happen when he was really young. He was taken to a slave market and given the name D-16 before being sold to his master who owns the mines...

As the miners spent most of the time in the darkness, they have never seen the sun for a while, which is why they craved the light so badly. Knowing seeing the light brings them a hope for rebelling against their brutal masters..that where the song "Rammstein sonne" comes into play..

I like to think of Megatron being somewhat of a hero after standing up against his brutal slave drivers in the mines...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Krande In reply to winddragon24 [2013-01-28 23:08:39 +0000 UTC]

Or maybe if not mother, a mech who had been his support and refuge. Perhaps it was not young Megs being sold - it was the older mech who was taken away.
He surely didn't develope a strong connection to his home, wherever it was. I mean, as he got older, he had slagged most Cybertron - that makes me think he never had the "home sweet home" thing, ever. If only his masters were nicer to him. (Hm that was a large part of the reason I started to write Shattered origin.)
