Evil With A Changing Face - 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.

A lot like the Autobots led by Optimus Prime, Megatron represents a really mighty and valued leader. Through the line of numerous comics and installments, it became apparent that Megatron was the most efficient and revered boss that the Decepticons had ever had. He reigned through fear and by fierce outbursts. He embodied a vicious military force in the warfare on Cybertron too.

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 went to Earth to pillage its natural resources with the help of the other Decepticons after Cybertron was in shambles. He was pursued there by Optimus Prime and his loyal Autobots to thwart this process. That is how the battle moved to Earth in the first place. Cybertron was emptied out of all of its resources and life trying to sustain a war for years, and its revival was directly related to Earth's destruction. So Megatron set off to pillage our world, and Optimus Prime set out to stop him.

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. - 31409
