Biography: Born and raised in the Capitol city of Cybertron, he took the name "Megatronus" after one of the Great Primes and rose the ranks of the Gladiators in the Grand Colosseum. He grew disillusioned with the Council, gaining great love and respect from the people as he started to speak out against them. Megatronus eventually became a politician, gathering great support and performing rallies, marches, and peaceful demonstrations. One of his most trusted followers was the young Orion Pax. He and Orion were the most firm of allies, their great debates of philosophy and politics drew many many more to their cause. Eventually, they marched on the grand council chambers themselves and Megatronus, when they refused to even hear him. He lashed out, drawing his Fusion Cannon and demanding that they recognize him as a new Prime and to grant him the Matrix of Leadership. Orion, who had been a staunch pacifist, threw himself in front of Megatronus, trying to reason with him, but Megatronus was beyond such petty concerns now. Change was the only option. Now, there was those who would instigate the change and those who would stand in its way.
Neither was aware that, as they debated for one last time in front of the Council, that the Matrix of Leadership was listening with a keen ear. And neither could have predicted when it floated over to Orion and, in a blinding flash, the small, unassuming Orion Pax had been transformed into the tall, powerful and imposing Optimus Prime. Dropping the "us" from his name, Megatron took up arms against Optimus. His followers would become known as Deceptions and Optimus' forces came to be known as Autobots. The war waged on for millions of years, across the stars themselves. Near to the end, Megatron befriended an Autobot by the name of Bumblebee. He found himself regularly conversing with this young Autobot, much the same way he had with Pax all those years ago. Unfortunately, Bumblebee was killed by Megatrons chief scientist, a vile bot by the name of Shockwave" As Bumblebee lay dying in Megatrons arms, Bee begged Megatron to stop the war, to sit down and allow Dialogue to commence. As the Decepticons around him cheered and hooted with victory around him, Megatron saw exactly what he had created, what the Decepticons stood for. He took Bumblebee's body back to Optimus in person. In front of Optimus, he took the Autobot symbol that had been blasted from Bumblebee's chest by Shockwave and welded it to his chest over the Decepticon symbol. The war raged on for a few more months as a number of the newer and more fanatical of Deceptions set themselves up as the new Decepticon leader, but with Optimus and Megatron working together, they were quickly eradicated.
In the post-war world, Megatron found himself... Constantly being met with gazes of mistrust and ire. When Optimus found the Matrix Maps to Cyberutopia, where the Knights of Cybertron lived. Megatron hadn't answered for his crimes previously as they had never been able to find a fair and impartial judge, Megatron seeming to have committed grievous crimes against every sentient in the galaxy in some way or another. But the Knights were from before then. It was decided, Megatron would lead the Expedition to Cyberutopia and the Knights would judge him for his actions and deal out a fair and impartial sentence on him.
