Villains Beginning With 'M'
Megatron
Transformers cartoon series (1984-)
Megatron is a Transformer robot, giving him the ability to modify his body's structure into other objects.
Megatron transforms into a Walther P38 U.N.C.L.E. Special, delivering more focused energy blasts. He can shrink and reduce his mass as he transforms, allowing either another Transformer or even a human being to wield him. He can retain his full size and connect to jet-mode Starscream's underside.
Megatron is a strategic leader who calls the shots from afar and also a tactical battlefield commander who leads by example. He is highly aggressive and a megalomaniac.
Megatron is the founder of the Decepticon uprising, and their most well-known and feared leader. As a young, charismatic leader forged in battle and the heritage of war, he began to believe in a grand purpose for his race-it is the Transformers' glorious destiny to rule. The opposite of his mortal enemy Optimus Prime, he feels great contempt for other Transformers who, he feels, betray their proud heritage by demanding peace and cooperation with weaker life forms. It is the destiny of the Decepticons to bring order to the universe through conquest, though in the millions of years since coining this purpose it remains to be seen how much of his mission statement is altruistic... and how much of it is mere words built to fuel warriors to further his desire for personal power.
Megatron will attempt almost anything to achieve his goals, but his schemes are rarely in any way subtle. This is perhaps due to his arrogance, but his pride is not so strong as to dissuade him from abandoning a battle he is losing. Some would question his sanity, though these few are mostly now dead by his hands...or his Fusion cannon, depending on his mood.
Megatron is later reborn as Galvatron.
In the new Tranformers movie Megatron is a jet fighter.
SUMMARY
ARCH RIVAL : |
The Autobots. |
STRENGTHS : |
Megatron is great leader, very powerful and utterly ruthless. He can reprogram computers with a port in his head. |
WEAKNESSES : |
Megatron has no known weaknesses. This does not, however, spare him from defeat at the hands of his enemies. For all his famed battle prowess and tactical ability, Megatron's complacent overconfidence often causes him to overlook some vital strategic detail. Also, he has a bad habit of ordering a retreat at the first sign that the tables have turned against his side in battle. |
WEAPONS : |
His imposing robot form is dominated by his primary weapon - his arm-mounted fusion cannon, capable of leveling a city block in one blast. He can also sub-dimensionally link the weapon to a black hole, generating even more powerful antimatter blasts (capable of destroying a small planetary body). However, this ability is almost never used, as it leaves him extremely weak and vulnerable. |
