one shall rise and one shall fall
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be taking a look at the origin of
Megatron the leader of the evil
Decepticons arguably one of the most
popular and recognizable characters in
the franchise Megatron has gone on to
cause trouble for the Autobots in
several television comic book and film
iterations and has been made into
countless action figures originally seen
as too frightening by Hasbro this
character soon came to play a large role
in making transformers the phenomenon
that it became in the 1980s this is
despite transforming into a Walther p38
handgun a controversial alternative mode
that continues to raise eyebrows
making his debut in the generation 1
animated series with his raspy voice
performed by Frank Welker Megatron
quickly came to be recognized as a
powerful and utterly ruthless opponent
leading by brutal example he was
introduced as a tactical battlefield
commander with mental health problems
and an insatiable lust for power you
dare to threaten me Optimus Prime I
welcome your wrath because it pales in
comparison to what I have in store for
you I intend to crush you and I include
your little friends a mainstay of the
franchise throughout its many iterations
he has undergone several changes over
the years these include being
reformatted into Galvatron in the 1986
movie and spotting a namesake in the
critically acclaimed sequel series
transformers beast wars Megatron
greatest leader of the Decepticons my
namesake
yours is the first chapter in the
history of Cybertron a chapter that is
about to be rewritten within the many
reboots that followed the character
would continue to change and be voiced
by different actors despite the pleas of
fans for frank welker ‘he’s returned to
the iconic role that he helped shape
despite his incredible popularity and
prominence in popular culture many fans
still do not know Megatron’s origins
incidentally his backstory was touched
upon in the Transformers episode War
Dawn which debuted in the second season
of 1984’s generation one cartoon series
here Megatron was designed by the
military robots called the Decepticons
he was created to lead a war for control
over their mechanical homeworld of
Cybertron which was inhabited by the
peaceful factory robots called the
Autobots both sides of which were
originally fashioned by aliens called
the quintessons
a powerful weapon of war that showcased
the Decepticons newfound ability of
flight Megatron inadvertently caused the
creation of his mortal enemy Optimus
Prime this event occurred through the
destruction of a dockworker named Orion
Pax during one of his earliest Energon
raids to his surprise this robot was
rebuilt by the Autobots as a war machine
called Optimus who was designed to
confront the mighty Decepticons caused
enough just
struction for one day Megatron during
the nine million year conflict that
followed Megatron’s war and in
Cybertron’s Golden Age this in turn
forced the Autobots to seek out other
worlds in order to attempt to
re-energize they’re devastated
mechanical home planet following the
Autobots on their intergalactic journey
in his own battleship their bitter
conflict soon encompassed the earth
where Megatron’s forces adopted
alternate modes based on human
technology in the years following
generation 1 he would retain many of his
signature personality traits including
his turbulent relationship with his
treacherous sub commander named
Starscream
praise the old Spock it is a miracle oh
it will be a miracle all right
Starscream if you suffer my putting a
time for you
you would also abandon his iconic
handgun form in exchange for a vehicle
mode often selecting the form of an
aircraft despite the many reimagining of
the character
Megatron eventually became redefined in
Michael Bay’s theatrical films as a
Cybertronian jet and was voiced by actor
Hugo Weaving you fail me yet again
Starscream get them following this too
much fanfare he was once again voiced by
Frank Welker for 2010 s computer
animated series Transformers Prime
