Looking Into The Face Of Evil: Transformers Megatron

By Russell Masina

If you know anything about popular movies in the country right now, you are likely aware of the release latest installment of the Transformers series recently. There has been one other movie released before it, preceded even farther back by a slew of cartoons and comic book appearances. There are many who don't know these robots as well as they would like to. They want to understand the movies better, and be able to tell their friends or their family the difference between the Transformers Megatron and Optimus Prime.

For the sake of this article, however, I will stick to the finer points of Megatron. This is a hugely important name to know in terms of learning what there is to know about the Transformers.

Much like Optimus Prime and the Autobots, Megatron is a very powerful and respected leader. Through the course of many comics and episodes, it became evident that Megatron was the most effective and feared leader that the Decepticons ever had. He ruled by fear tactics and through violent outbursts. He was a brutal force in the war on Cybertron as well.

The Decepticons are from Cybertron, a planet that also saw the creation and evolution of the Autobots. Basically this is a classic good vs. Evil story. The Autobots fought the Decepticons because they refused to reason in any other fashion. Their war spans the whole length of the comics, series, and is now beginning to be retold in part through the movies. Megatron battles for control of the Allspark, or The Matrix as it was known through the comics and television series.

Megatron and Prime were once acquaintances it's presumed, though today they're forever up at arms. It's thought that Optimus is saddened at the fact of what the Autobots and Decepticons could have done collectively, where Megatron merely sees it entirely laughable. Their animosity started while Megatron turned on the bots from Cybertron and organized the Decepticons.

Megatron at first departed for Earth, even in the current films, to plunder its resources to substantiate Cybertron. He went with a grouping of his most faithful Decepticons. He was pursued there by Optimus Prime and his most trustworthy Autobots who planned to end him. The lone manner that Cybertron could become the planet that it used to be, it would cost Earth its living for substantiation. Optimus Prime hailed to deliver us from devastation. Megatron would obliterate us entirely in a second for his self-serving intention.

I can simply trust that you see who Megatron is. A great deal comparable to any Transformer, there's more than meets the eye. We have seen glances of pity and allegiance, simply for the most part it's cruel leading from dread and bullying.
