Megatron (Machine Wars)

Megatron is the Decepticon leader on Earth, sworn enemy of Optimus Prime and hunter of the Allspark.

Character History
Many years ago, Megatronus was a brave and valiant gladiator on Cybertron, while his brother, Orion Pax, was a clerk in the Iacon Hall of Records. When the Decptiocn Galvatron appeared and the Great War began, Orion and Megatronus both entered the Autobot Army as soldiers and were trained by the great Autobot general, Sentinel Prime. One day, during a routine space mission to repair a damaged space bridge, Orion and Megatronus were seemingly lost when the bridge was attacked by a Decepticon team of soldiers. Although Orion was found and reformatted into Optimus Prime, Megatronus seemed lost forever, and the Autobots would forever mourn his death.

In truth, however, Megatronus did survive, and his ind was twisted by Galvatron, leading him to believe that he had been abandoned by the Autobots, and he became the wicked Decepticon Megatron. After Galvatron mysteriously dissapeared, Megatron became leader of the Decepticons. Although it appeared that the Decepticons had been defeated, megatron secretly worked to rebuild the once-glorious Decepticon Empire.
