Transformers Movie Leader Megatron

Megatron is a towering, bulky, dinosaur-footed monstrosity with a varied color scheme noticeably different than that of the movie version. Megatrons jet mode looks a little bit like one of Leonardo da Vincis flying machines. His robot mode, bearing a slightly simplified version of the movie Megatrons intricate armor plating, is reasonably well articulated. Among Megatrons arsenal of gimmick features are electronic sounds and lights, a launching claw that becomes a chain whip, and arms that combine to form a fusion cannon. Initially Megatron was Cybertrons designated Lord High Protector, although eventually he succumbed to his consuming lust for the Allspark. Megatrons agenda placed him in opposition of Optimus Prime---forcing the latter to rally a militia against Megatrons Decepticons. Megatron was single-minded and monstrously powerful; the Decepticons gained ground against their adversaries, and as a desperate contingency the Allspark was jettisoned into space. Megatrons attempt to find the Allspark ultimately divided him from his forces and led him into frozen stasis.
