Now Viewing: megatronTag type: Character Megatron is one of the most well-known villains of the Transformers franchise. He is the powerful and merciless leader of the antagonist faction, the evil Decepticons. His original alternate mode is a grey and silver Walther_P38 handgun with several attachments. Due to changes in toy safety laws, contemporary versions of Megatron have had to design new alternate modes, usually having him become some sort of military vehicle such as a tank or helicopter. Modern incarnations, such as the transformers_(live action) movie, have had him become an 'alien' craft rather than an Earth-based vehicle. Megatron's first G1 design was created by designer Ono Kojin for the Japanese Microchange transformation robot toy series in the early 80s. Motto: "Peace through tyranny...!!!" Alternate Versions: * Galvatron - the upgraded form Unicron gives to Megatron in the G1 movie, and the name used for his upgraded form in several later series as well. As Galvatron is sometimes depicted as a completely separate character, at times existing alongside Megatron, images of Galvatron alone should not be tagged as Megatron. * Optimal_Megatron - Megatron's upgraded form in Beast_Machines. * Gigatron - The Decepticon leader in Transformers:_Car_Robots, who was renamed to Megatron in the English dub. * Megatron_(IDW) - the IDW Comics depiction of Megatron, most notable for his sincere attempts at atonement and defection to the Autobots. * Megatron_(Prime) - the depiction of Megatron in Transformers:_Prime, with a design inspired by his appearance in the live action films. * Megatron_(Shattered_Glass) - the depiction of Megatron in the transformers:_shattered glass AU, in which he is the noble leader of the benevolent Decepticons. * Megatron_(Kotobukiya_Bishoujo) - a humanized female version of Megatron from the Kotobukiya_Bishoujo figure line. See also: * the_transformers_(idw) * Galvatron * Megatron_(Beast_Wars) - The Predacon leader in Beast_Wars, transforms into a tyrannosaurus_rex. Despite sharing the same name as the original character, is a separate entity existing in a different time period from the original.
