Megatron (BM)

20

Megatron is the commander of the Darksyders, While the original name of the Predacon known as "Megatron" is unknown, when he read the Covenant of Primus, the criminal chose to rename himself after the great destroyer the book mentioned. Megatron found life on Cybertron intolerable, as he and his fellow Predacons lived as second-class citizens underneath the Maximals, which could be traced back to the defeat of their Decepticon ancestors in the Great War. The ruling triumvirate of the Predacons, the Tripredacus Council, were slowly biding their time, waiting for the right moment to strike, but Megatron was impatient, and had his own plan to ensure Predacon rule over Cybertron. Gathering a gang of criminals into his service, Megatron stole the Maximal relic known as the Golden Disk. The disk contained the location data of the planet Earth, as well as a secret message inscribed centuries earlier by the Decepticon Megatron. It was a contingency plan to prevent Decepticon defeat that directed whoever found the message to use transwarp technology to travel back through time to prehistoric Earth, when the Autobot spacecraft the Ark lay hidden on the planet. By finding and killing Optimus Prime as he lay in stasis aboard the craft, history could be altered in favour of the Decepticons, ensuring their victory in the war, and Predacon rule in the present.
