My Megatron design that I am messing with for my Transformers Wings of Fire AU.
I decided to make him a triple changer because I have always loved the idea of him turning into a tank, but also needed a way for him to get around conveniently, hence the spacecraft/jet altmode.
Megatron was once a mining caste bot who was part of an unjust society. He was an idealist who began writing against the current norms of Cybertronian society and eventually started a revolt within the mine he worked in. After his revolt, Megatron was thrown into prison and would eventually enter into the gladiatorial pits where he began to gain popularity and be heard.
During his time in the pits, Megatron met and befriended the young librarian clerk Orion Pax, who was inspired by Megatron’s words and wanted to bring about a just society. It was not long after winning many fights that Megatron earned his freedom, and began his movement along with his friend Orion. Throughout this period Megatron gained more followers and began to show his true colors, while Orion only wanted to end the caste system and rebuild the government to better serve the Cybertronian people, Megatron, wanted to punish all of those who were once above him and enslave those who defied his new order.
Megatron and Orion eventually split ways, and the war began shortly after. Orion eventually became Optimus Prime and led the Autobots, a force for freedom, and Megatron created the Decepticons. Megatron destroyed all who were in his way, and wanted to use the allspark to boost his power, by reformatting worlds and reanimating the dead into Decepticons. To prevent this, the allspark, along with multiple relics, were sent to Earth, and retrieved by Optimus Prime shortly after the shutdown of Cybertron’s core.
Megatron and his Decepticons followed the Autobots to Earth, where many of the bots, and cons gained their Earth Vehicle alternate modes. Megatron did not take any new forms since he spent most of his time in the battlefield or commanding his army. After many battles the Autobots attempted to return to Cybertron with the Allspark and relics, using a space bridge constructed by the Decepticons. Once again, Megatron pursued them, sparking a space battle that crippled the Decepticon warship Nemesis and caused the Autobot spacecraft The Ark to begin splitting apart. The two ships were sucked into the space bridge by a gravity source and exited in a whole new world and universe. A world similar to Earth, but with different terrain, multiple moons, and a new dominant species that Megatron despised, Dragons.
