Megatron

Megatron is the leader of the Decepticons, a well-known group/faction of Seibertronians that measure approximately half the planet's population making him an important figure.

Personality
Just by looking at him you can tell Megatron is a tough, hard-boiled individual. His many scars a testament to the battles he has fought to survive.

Undoubtedly ambitious and powerful Megatron has made a name for himself fighting anyone and everyone to get a foothold in life, he demands loyalty and respect from his people and once proven he will return it.

Despite the infamous Autobot-Decepticon fighting Megatrons, primary concern is the well-being of his people and he will do anything to ensure his people are strong and protected.

He enjoys a good challenge and many people suspect it's why he even lets Starscream live, having proven himself to be one of Seibertrons top, toughest fighters he enjoys thrill-seeking and tough situations to challenge himself as well as to stay in top condition. Many have described him as pursuing challenges and action with an almost childish glee.

Biography
Hatched in a dirt-poor area of Seibertron, his parents had already been taken by an illness plaguing the area. His survival was guaranteed by those around him as everyone communally raised him between them.

He was forced to grow up fast as he figured out how to get his footing in life through physical power; through manual labour and fighting. It wasn’t long before he was known as the best fighter in his area and given an invitation to the Decepticon military.

He was suspiciously fast to accept the offer and leave his home.

It was true, Megatron had an ulterior motive for this.

It really wasn’t long ago when the ruling Decepticon was merely the child of the previous ruler, a ‘royal family’ of sorts. This had led to the rulers being corrupt and arrogant, in Megatron’s eyes undeserving of their power. He saw how hard-working Decepticons like those that raised him were left out and denied things they needed, like medicine, due to their lacking riches. They exercised their powers to maintain their stature while simultaneously spitting in the eye of Decepticon values, which was, despite their somewhat violent culture, pride and care for their own kind and strength in each other.

Fighting in the current ruler’s military Megatron repeated himself and quickly gained a footing within it, and a dislike for Autobots as he fought them and saw how rife many of them were with corruption too. During this he encountered what he thought was proof of Autobot corruption, until said Autobot handed him something interesting, proof of shady dealings between some Autobots and the Decepticon leader.

With this Megatron decided to waste no more time and brought his plan forwards, letting the Autobot live he used his gained status to get an Audience with their Ruler.

With proof in hand he challenged the Lord to the right of Leadership.

Many were shocked, almost disbelieving at the proof Megatron wielded but it hit the nail right on the head and worried the proof would get to the public the old leader accepted his challenge.

Well, it’s obvious what happened next. An awful, horrendous, brutal fight which ended with Megatron losing his tail, nearly collapsing from blood loss Megatron clung onto the old ruler clamping his teeth down into his throat, tearing it out for the world to see, despite his wooziness he finished the deal and chewed off his head to brandish to all who saw.

He was legally and rightfully the new leader.

Now he was going to rule as he saw fit and make everything as he felt it should be. Which started with ACTUALLY putting funding, care, time and effort into building up and keeping the population strong and happy.

The first few years of his leadership were hectic and there were a lot of battles, mainly from those who disagreed with the new ruler, did not want a new ruler and those who had had dealings with the previous one losing out on some of their ‘perks’. This even lead to many conflicts with the Autobots.

Things thankfully calmed down a little when the Autobots gained a new leader too. Finally enjoying a slightly quieter, easier life Megatron arranged a political meeting with this new Prime to try and affirm some kind of political stability.

It went decently, and neither Megatron nor Optimus, upon seeing each other, were going to verbally admit to their random meeting a few years ago.

And so Megatron has been leading the Decepticons ever since. His primary focus in keeping them a strong proud race, even if there were still a few disastrous battles with the Autobots he’s making improvements with his new policy of earning power and better treated communities.

Trivia

 * Megatron has a pet named Muffins.
 * He snores if his head is leaning back.
 * Megatron loses teeth regularly, but they grow back very quick. While this is not unusual for a Decepticon as they may lose their teeth in fights often it happens much more regularly for Megatron.
