Transformers Cybertron Megatron is the the Decepticon's leader, a Transformers robot who transforms originally into a Walther P38. Very much like his main rival Optimus Prime, Megatron is given wide exposure in the Transformers Universe due to his role as the evil leader he is. "Megatron" is a name made by the combination of two words: Megaton and Electronic. In the beginning, Hasbro, the Transformers toy manufacturers had issues with the name since it implied danger, sounding like some kind of lethal weapon. However it was agreed for the name to remain Megatron since the leader of the villains just had to reasonably have this destructive denomination.

Megatron is practically flawless and notably uncompassionate. His transformation is that of a really powerful cannon gun that can blast off an entire block with just one shot. Furthermore, he can also merge his weapon to some type of black hole, leveraging its power even more. Such force is so strong that he can use it to destroy a small planet. This skill is almost never employed by Megatron because it absorbs too much energy and stamina leaving him an easy target to his opponents.

Additionally Transformers Cybertron Megatron has a barrel weapon on his back and he can also transform his right hand with an energy cannon. If that isn't enough, he can also blast electrical charges from his fingers and laser rays from his eyes. Strategically, Megatron can also reprogram computers with a special device from his head. When transforming into a Walther P38 he can assume many sizes making it possible for another Decepticon or maybe even human-being to use him as a hand weapon. In one exciting episode he maintains full size and connects to Starscream, making him a major threat for the Autobots.

Megatron has been interpreted by some as being a strategic mastermind, while others claim he's a battlefield strategist who brutally destroys and sets an example. As opposed to many fictional villains who characterize themselves by being fanatically evil without a cause, Megatron is known to have some sort of reasoning that lead him to make decisions, even if he was only making sense to himself one time or another.

Curiously there have been some special events in which Megatron shows his appreciation for fairness in combat and sometimes even shows himself honorable. His utterly complex relationship with Optimus Prime is just one example of such traits. Both leaders show the utmost respect for one another, maybe because they know each other so well. Transformer Cybertron Megatron certainly seems to enjoy his complex relationship with Optimus, sometimes taking it to such extents as to help Optimus with life threatening situations. In his mind, it's him and only him who can put an end to Prime, leader of the Autobots. It's been said that the two could be considered best friends if it where not for such diametrically opposing points of view.

Transformer Cybertron Megatron's technical specifications state that he has no weakness at all. However, he is not invincible and can be beaten by his enemies. Due to his massive powers and abused confidence Megatron always seems to miss an important detail in combat, often causing him to retreat his troops from combat. A key factor contributing to the majority of his losses is his poor and harsh relationships with his own comrades. Megatron's top achievement is to conquer Cybertron and to accomplish this he must conquer it at all costs, even if that means the massive destruction of other celestial bodies.
