Megatron's mentallity

nobleboivin · 06-03-2012, 10:06 AM

Have you guys ever wondered where the source of any version Megatron's mindset came from. I know a couple versions of Megatron were disgusted of the Caste system, an honorable ideology, but what exactlly caused any Megatron to turn evil. Was it Unicron, the Fallen or a form of insanity?

Wasn't it Optimus (Orion Pax) being picked to be the Prime instead of him?

Only in some continuities. In Animated Megatron didn't even know who Optimus was.

That too. I forgot about that. But what if there's something more to it.

The aligned Megatron started as a revolutionary fighting for freedom and change. But he was always power hungry and when he got a taste of it he hungered for more disguising his lust for power as a revolution, probably even to himself. When Orion Pax was named Prime it was the greatest insult and he saw himself as the only person who could make Cybertron great. In his mind anyone who thought differently was foolish and a potential enemy.

In G1 he was evil so the Autobots could fight him.

A lust for power usually comes to mind when I think of Megatron.... Plus all Megatrons think they are the superior beings and everyone else is inferior.

'Evil' is subjective. I do not, for instance, view TFA Megatron as inherently evil at all.

Yeah TFA megatron was an antagonist but not evil. Transfotmers prime megatron was once good but became twisted and although I don't think he see's himself as evil but he knows what he's done isn't right. G1 megatron was evil just straight up he was born then decided to kill ppl lol.

Marvel G1 Megatron started the war because he was power hungry...if I recall correctly in issue 1.
