Megatron® is the ruthless leader of the Decepticons® and the primary villain in the Transformers saga. His vehicle – a Jet, Tank or Blaster. Megatron is one of the Transformers robots, giving him the ability to modify his body's structure into other objects, the original and most common "alternate mode" being a gun.

He was the sworn opponent of Optimus Prime®, leader of the Autobots, when the civil war erupted again. Eventually, the war drained Cybertron of most of its energy, necessitating that both factions seek out new worlds and new sources of power. Megatron and his elite forces pursued the Autobots' craft (the Ark) in their star cruiser and attacked and boarded the craft, causing it to crash on prehistoric Earth, entombing all on the ship in emergency stasis as it crashed into a dormant volcano.
