If you’re wise to the most recent box office smash hits, you’re familiar with the Transformers series of films that have been put out. Though there are just 2 installations, you can be promised a lot of to come out in the coming years. You may not realize that these films were prefaced of comic books, novels and a couple of animated television shows. There are a lot of Transformers that you may see a benefit in recognizing for the sake of interpreting the films more effectively. With the exception of Optimus Prime, possibly the most significant to recognize is Transformers Megatron.

For this article and the sake of space, I will not delve into any of the other Transformers more than is necessary, so that you can focus exclusively on why Megatron is important to the franchise.

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.

Optimus Prime and Megatron were once friends it is assumed, although now they are always up at arms. It is believed that Optimus is saddened at the reality of what the Autobots and Decepticons could do together, where Megatron just finds it all amusing. Their bad blood began when Megatron turned on the bots of Cybertron and formed 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 only hope that you understand who Megatron is. Much like any Transformer, there is more than meets the eye. There have been glimpses of compassion and loyalty, but for the most part it is brutal leadership by fear and intimidation.
