Character Information
*Character Name: Megatron
*Character Canon: Transformers: Shattered Glass
*Age: 5 million years, maybe a little older.
*Race: Cybertronian
*Timeline/Pull Point: From just after Starscream and Cliffjumper’s departure in Do-Over, and after Optimus Prime heads back to Iacon.
*History:
Megatron wasn’t always the leader of a rebel force, in fact he hadn’t always been a warrior either. Once, long ago now, Megatron was a teacher and a brilliant mathematician at the great university in Polyhex. It was there that he discovered a trend in numbers that existed in history and realized that Cybertron was headed into a time of civil war. Despite his colleagues disbelief the civil war came, and at it’s head was the tyrannical Optimus Prime.
Megatron swiftly proved himself a capable and caring leader, gathering under himself the resistance forces that were scattered across Cybertron. It was only after discovering the key to being able to hide his forces in plain sight, by giving them the ability to transform at will into common vehicles, that Megatron’s forces gained the name Decepticons. Though Optimus was able to figure out the technology himself Megatron had managed to become a rather stubborn thorn in Optimus’ side.
It was a surprising but fortuitous turn of events that gave Megatron the chance to meet Cliffjumper, who happened to be from a mirrored universe from his own. It was with Cliffjumper's help, particularly his unique weapon of glass gas, that allowed them the victory that stalled Optimus’ launch of the Ark. This gave the Decepticons the time to complete their own ship, the Nemesis. During the fight at the Ark launch platform Megatron took a shot that Optimus had intended for the ‘traitor’ Cliffjumper. This proved to the red Minibot that he was, without a doubt, the honorable leader others claimed him to be.
When the time came close once more for the Ark to launch, the Decepticons were just finishing their own ship and were prepared to follow the Autobots into space. On the eve of their departure Megatron left to answer a distress call he believed was from Boltax, an old ally, and the keeper of the Temple of Knowledge. Having fallen into a trap, Megatron was captured by a few Autobots. Though he was kept captive until after the launch of both ships, it was Megatron’s situation that also kept Optimus Prime on Cybertron instead of on a journey to Earth.
Megatron managed to come out of his captivity and fight with Optimus with only minimal damage, the loss of one hand that had to be reattached. Despite that loss he had won a much greater victory, both he and Optimus were stuck on Cybertron for the equivalent of an Earth year.
*Personality:
Megatron is an ideal mentor and leader in all senses. He is highly intellectual, though not afraid to drop into the realm of physical confrontation if it is needed. He is prone to using his wits to his advantage, such as angering his enemy into distraction, then a direct attack.
He is well mannered with polite speaking tones, he never talks down to any one of his men, and only shows any amount of foul language and terse personality when confronting Optimus. He is a curious individual, ready to ask questions and learn more about things that are foreign to him, though he is prudent enough to leave in depth understanding for more appropriate time or settings.
He has a lot of honor and is very cut and dry about his responsibilities to his men and his allies, even going so far as to take a hit that was meant for a reluctant addition to his forces. He is protective of his men and worries foremost about their well being, ignoring his own injuries in favor of seeing his men taken care of first.
Consistently he shows himself to be a very level headed and calm person, keeping his emotions well in check, even when faced with an obstacle. Even being as calm as he is Megatron does show anger on a few occasions, such as an innocent being killed, even in this state he does not act rashly but continues to consider everything going on. Being as cool headed as he is allows Megatron to get out some rather biting remarks against his foes at just the right time, his mockery never too much or particularly vulgar, they are always very precise to strike at something his knows is tender for his opponent.
Re-Alignment History: During his previous time in Haven Megatron made friends and connections with many people. New friendships he made, such as with Blurr and Barricade, an odd mutual acknowledgement of one of the other Megatrons, and continued friendship with most from his own universe such as Cliffjumper and Ravage. The only person Megatron actively worked against was the Ratchet of his own world, though the span of time was short. He exchanged vows of lordship with Thundercracker, binding himself by word to the other flyer and vowing to do everything in his power to support the other, while receiving a promise of fidelity from him. He also started working on a school to help work on and improve the education, on a general level of the inhabitants of Haven. The school, at least until his disappearance, was to be held in Alpha Trion’s library. He had, before his disappearance, reached a point of gaining the first tier and boons with both Alpha Trion and Prima, as well as having been given a glowing crystal from Prima before the First Forged left.
*Powers/Abilities: Megatron is capable of turning into an alien air vehicle similar to a large jet. In his root mode, as a robot, he is still capable of flight. Through the use of of Rumbler, a semi-sentient drone in the shape of a tank, he has a cannon and a sword available for use. He also has superhuman strength due to being a being made of metal and mechanical parts.
He is highly intelligent, his area of expertise being in mathematics though he is still very intelligent over all. He is also a naturally charismatic leader, inspiring those that follow his leadership by being in the front of advancing troupes and the back of an retreats, his honest and straight forward way of acting inspiring others to follow him.
*Inventory: Rumbler: Low level semi-sentient tank drone, which provides Megatron with his ion cannon and sword, most commonly found attached to his right arm. Rumbler can be detached, and while it will connect to anyone it is capable of recognizing Megatron calling it and will automatically make attempts to return to him, including willful disengaging from whoever has control of it at the time.
*Starting Polarity: Returning to Prima
Writing Samples
*First Person Sample:
[The video starts up and for a brief moment Megatron has a much more angry look on his face than he has ever shown before but this quickly fades into a neutral expression.]
I am looking for the Starscream of my world. For those of you who don’t know him, he is a kind and generous mech, a flyer with white and red colors, approximately thirty feet tall. He bears the same red emblem I do. He has been missing for a while now and I have become concerned, if anyone has any information on his whereabouts I would greatly appreciate the information. That is all, thank you for listening.
*Third Person Sample:
Megatron looked around himself, the landscape and sky similarly gray and lifeless. How had he ended up here? He remembered arriving back at the base, and taking care of a few things before taking the opportunity of a calm moment to get some recharge in. The next thing he realized was awakening in this barren area. He had already tried each and every gauge he had, but found that nothing was working properly, the readouts he was receiving completely foreign from anything that should have existed on Cybertron.
He had tried every communication channel he had available, hoping to pick up the frequency for the base, or other personal frequencies that he had, but none had come up with any results. Lacking any helpful input Megatron decided that his best course of action was to try to search out familiar or inhabited areas to try to find out where exactly he was and how to get home. And once he was there he planned on discovering how he came to be in this place, so that he could prevent it happening to anyone else.
Final Notes: Megatron will be returning, with his memories, if permitted.
