Megatron claims he is bringing glory to the Predacons after facing unfair discrimination and oppression by the Maximals, and he may have been actually genuine in this despite the treatment he gives to his men and his power-hungry nature, but whether Megatron was indeed genuine in his intentions or not, by the end of Beast Wars, mostly after he becomes a Transmetal II dragon, such good intentions were all ultimately lost and Megatron's lust for power consumed him when he proclaims himself as Alpha & Omega and gains a huge god complex, and knowingly dooms the entirety of Cybertron in his final gambit in that series, nearly wiping out all Cybertronians and Predacons for the sake of godhood and universal domination, and sacrificed nearly all of his men for it without batting a second eye.He was voiced by David Kaye, who also voiced Megatron in the Unicron Trilogy, Cronus from Class of Titans, Klunk in Secret Agent Clank and Mysterio in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. He renamed himself after the dark and terrifying myth, the original Megatron from the Covenant of Primus, who is heavily implied to have been Megatron himself due to the time travel. He is the leader of the Darksyders, a troop of Predacons, the descendants of the Decepticons, that were stranded on a prehistoric Earth following a confrontation with the Maximal ship, the Axalon, before becoming the ruler of Cybertron and creator/master of the Vehicons after his victory at the Beast Wars during his marooning on Earth. Megatron is the main antagonist of the Beast Era of the Transformers Generation One franchise, serving as the main antagonist of both Beast Wars: Transformers and Beast Machines: Transformers.
