Megatron is the main villain for the Transformers comics, and is the main rival of Optimus Prime. He is a Transformer, so of course he can transform himself into different machinery including cars and tanks.

His most powerful weapon is his arm-mounted fusion blaster, which can destroy a large ammout of space. It can be linked to a black hole generator, which can produce anti-matter blasts that can destroy small planets. It leaves him completely weak and vunlerable.

He has had several different portrails, including a strategic genius that plans from out of battle, to a courageous battle field commander. He is usually very intelegent though, and seems to be able to transform into almost any shape he desires. (He once became a look-a-like Starscream jet, and attached himself to the underside of Starscream.). Megatron started the great Cybertronian civil war nine million years ago by attacking the city of Kaon with his brutal decepticons. He then attacked Protihex only to be beaten by Sentinel Prime's autobots, but the decepticons raze Nova Cronum. Megatron then Kills Sentinel prime and the matrix is passed onto a lowly records clerk named Optronix who then is transformed by it's power and becomes Optimus prime and leads the autobots. Then Megatron and Prime vanish 7.4 millions years ago due to an early space bridge experiment and are persumed dead. Then he reapears after an absence of one million years. Four million years ago Megatron does a sneak attack on the autobot space ship the ark which contianed Optimus prime and the autobots in his ship the nemesis the battle leads to both ships crashing and lying dormant until 1984 and is reconfigured into his present form.
