Summary

Megatron wasn’t the Decepticons’ first leader, but he’s undoubtedly the most infamous. Created by the Constructicons, he quickly sought to restore the Decepticons to glory after the Autobots had beaten them in their first war. Reprogramming his creators into servitude, Megatron’s first action in the war itself was killing the Autobots’ leader. Ironically, though, he gave rise to not only the next Autobot leader, when during a raid on a storage yard he gunned down a young worker named Orion Pax, who would later resurface as his greatest foe, Optimus Prime. 

Millions of years later, in 2005, after being mortally wounded in a climactic battle with his rival, Megatron was left to float aimlessly through space by his ever treacherous lieutenant Starscream. Megatron was then summoned by Unicron, who offered him a new body, a warship and new troops to command, so long as he destroyed the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Megatron reluctantly accepted and was upgraded into Galvatron, a more fearsome and powerful warrior. After he was defeated and his mater was destroyed by the new Autobot leader Rodimus Prime, however, Galvatron suffered severe damage to his processor, rendering him unhinged to the point of often attacking his own troops.
