I now a lot of people don't like this guy, but I wanted to convert some version
of Megatron for my RPG page, and this one seemed fun. I threw in some of the
powers of the TV show version of Megatron, but mostly it's based on the Marvel
comic book.

I'll try to add a history from the Dreamwave comics soon.

Explanation of the conversion: I based Megatron on how he appeared in the
Transformers: Generation 2 comic book. I gave him powers from the comic
book and television series. Megatron can only fly in robot form, but
travels quickly on land in tank form.
History (Marvel comics): Love, compassion, mercy are words that have no
meaning for Megatron. He has risen to the leadership of the Decepticons by
a combination of brute strength, military cunning, ruthlessness, and
terror. Before the great war broke out on Cybertron 9 million years ago,
Megatron participated in the Infraformers Sharpshooting Competition, along
side Optimus Prime. The competitators were both beaten by a young
prototype named Sureshot.
Megatron was made commanding general in charge of all military operations
against the Autobots, who referred to him as "The Slag-Maker." It was a
title of fear. A title of respect. A title Megatron relished.
Four million years ago when Optimus Prime lead a ship to protect Cybertron
from a meteor shower, Megatron and his troops, including Ravage, Skywarp,
Soundwave, Starscream and Thundercracker, attacked. The ship crashed into
the planet Earth where it lay dormant for millions of years. Once
reactivated it ship rebuilt all on board with the ability to take on the
forms of Earth machines. Megatron was able to take on the form of Walther
P-38 pistol (Transformers #1).
His banishment to Earth has only made him more bitter and more evil-minded,
if that is possible. He aches to return to Cybertron and complete his
mission of eradicating the Autobots, but while on Earth he is dedicated to
eliminating those Autobots marooned here with him - and his plans go far
beyond that. He realizes the Earth is one huge stockpile of metal and fuel
resources and means to possess it all, with the aid of his fellow
Decepticons, but his plans go even further, plans so grandiose even his
fellow Decepticons are unaware: Megatron intends to enslave the entire
human race. He allows no exceptions to his motto.
After Megatron was severely damaged, he made a deal with the human
terrorist group called Cobra to be completely rebuilt. He can now assume
the form of a tank and carries a lethal rail gun weapon (G.I. Joe #139).
Megatron has no known weaknesses, except possibly a lack of speed.
Trivia: The original Megatron toy turned into a gun, then he came out as an
Action Master, then in this form for Generation 2.
Trivia: On the Transformers television show, the voice of Megatron is
played by actor Frank Welker.
Powers: Megatron is incredibly powerful and intelligent, the equal of
Autobot leader Optimus Prime. He has very keen senses and can see in the
infrared and ultraviolet range, as well as having telescopic vision.
Megatron is equipped with special circuitry which allows him to reprogram
other computers, including fellow Transformers. He can read and alter
their memories. He has an energon mace built into his right hand. After
being rebuilt by Cobra, Megatron gained the ability to transform into a
powerful tank with a rail gun cannon. A round from this cannon can
penetrate nearly anything and is so powerful it can fire at targets in
orbit. He also carries a laser rifle.
Megatron once possessed a fusion cannon which could draw on the nearly
limitless power of a black hole, but use of the weapon at full power would
drain him. Megatron's current main weapon requires much less energy, and
is nearly as deadly,
