Windblade breaks free from her restraints to open fire on Megatronus and was soon temporarily defeated by him. Megatronus gained the upper hand and managed to slash at Optimus, knocking him into the water and temporarily taking him out of the fight. Slipstream and Jetstorm appeared to protect Drift and the others from Megatronus, which enabled Optimus to get up and duel with Megatronus.ĭuring the fight, Optimus revealed that he had been received added strength from the other Primes, to which Megatronus replied that he had received additional power from an even greater force. Grimlock stopped the drill but was tossed by Megatronus at Drift. But he also plans on terminating Optimus as the first one to fall by his hand as he transforms his right hand into a drill and attacks Prime with it. He pinned his foe on the ground and informed the latter that both Earth and Cybertron played a role in his exile. Megatronus deflected a blast from Optimus that hits Bumblebee and Drift instead and used his telekinesis ability to throw Optimus into the ground. Megatronus moved to attack the weakened Autobots, but was intercepted by Optimus. A triumphant Megatronus stood before them triumphant. Although the Autobots, accompanied with a reborn Optimus Prime, attempted to intervene, their efforts weren't enough to stop Steeljaw from activating the portal. He informs the latter that he grew impatient and also promised that if he remains trapped in his dimension any longer, he will make them all pay. At the Crown City Colossus, Megatronus appears over the statue in Steeljaw's vision. Megatronus informed his new servant that the device would require a mass of sufficient metal to anchor the energies generated by his arrival- namely, the Crown City Colossus. Using his telekinetic powers, Megatronus made Clampdown pull on his left arm hard until Steeljaw capitulated. Steeljaw informed Megatronus that he needed more Decepticons to help him with the task, but Megatronus was less than moved. Megatronus, impatient, contacted Steeljaw again to check on his progress of building the portal. After sometime Megatronus eventually spoke to Steeljaw and made a deal with him that he was to prepare a GroundBridge portal to free Megatronus from his prison in exchange to let Steeljaw and his gang to have Earth. When the Alchemor passed by Earth, Megatronus forced the ship to crash, releasing Decepticons. Megatron had originally named himself after Megatronus, before shortening the name. Megatronus, maintaining just a mild amount of influence from outside the universe, was known by himself as the first Decepticon. Enraged and humiliated, Megatronus blamed Earth and Cybertron for his defeat, swearing to eventually find a way to return to the universe and destroy both planets. As punishment for what he had done, Megatronus was cast out from the universe and exiled to an alternate dimension, though still had the power to communicate with beings in the prime dimension. However, Megatronus eventually betrayed the other Primes and murdered Solus Prime. In the long, distant past, Megatronus was among the Thirteen created by Primus to battle and defeat Unicron, with success. 5.2 Solus Prime (Former ally and Lover/ Victim).
