Across the multiverse, the name Megatron invokes fear and terror, exuding raw power with an unslakable thirst for more. A warlord intent on domination, not just of their homeworld but all worlds... and for some, all of existence.

Some versions of Megatron are known as D-16 or Megatronus before taking their more infamous name and some take on new bodies and change their name to Galvatron in the process.
