VILLAIN OF THE DAY: MEGATRON ! - PT 1

Today's "Villain of the Day" is MEGATRON!

MEGATRON.
Leader of the feared Decepticons.
Many respect him.
All fear him.

Megatron is incredibly powerful and ruthless. His primary weapon is his arm-mounted fusion cannon, capable of levelling a city block in one blast, which he can sub-dimensionally link to a black hole, generating even more powerful antimatter blasts. He has a secondary weapon barrel mounted on his back, and can retract and replace his right hand with an energy flail. Megatron transforms into a Walther P38 pistol, delivering more focused energy blasts. He can shrink and reduce his mass as he transforms, assuming sizes that comfortably allow either another Transformer or even a human being to wield him. In one instance, he retained his full size and connected to jet-mode Starscream's underside. Holy crap that's cool!

Some see Megatron as a strategic leader who calls the shots from afar, whilst others see Megatron as a tactical battlefield commander who leads by brutal example. All agree on one thing - he is cunning, ruthless and without mercy. Unlike many other villains in popular fiction, Megatron was not generally depicted as overly chaotic or insane. He was highly aggressive and megalomaniacal, but there was usually a consistent rationale behind his actions, albeit that Megatron was often the only one who could perceive this.

According to his original tech spec, Megatron has no known weaknesses. Despite his lust for galactic domination, one of Megatron's key priorities remains the safety and health of Cybertron - and the best way to accomplish that is for him to conquer it. The only other Transformer that has what it takes to take on Megatron is Optimus Prime. Anyone else is just asking for death. Although, in Tranformers: The Movie, Megatron DID kill Prime....

Oh, and Megatron's right hand can retract and be replaced with an energon MACE!!!! So freaking cool.

Unfortunately, due to pussy parents, Megatron can no longer be depicted as a gun. Now he is a "manga-tank" or airplane. BAH!!! BAH, I SAY!!!!
