Megatron is one of fiction’s most misunderstood villains.

Across the Transformers multiverse, his story begins the same way: a laborer in the mines of Kaon, a gladiator who refused to break, a thinker who believed Cybertron could be better. He inspired the helpless. Challenged the corrupt. And ignited a revolution meant to bring justice.

But somewhere along the way… the cause died, and Megatron didn’t stop.

This episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains digs into the rise and fall of Cybertron’s most complicated leader—exploring how idealism became obsession, how justice twisted into domination, and how a friendship with Orion Pax shattered the fate of an entire world.

We’ll explore:

• The gladiator who became a symbol

• The revolutionary who lost the movement

• The tyrant who believed he had no choice

• The defector who carried the weight of his sins

• Why Megatron’s downfall mirrors real-world revolutions

• And what his story reveals about power, trauma, and conviction

Megatron didn’t set out to conquer Cybertron.

He set out to save it.

And that’s what makes his fall one of the darkest tragedies in Transformers history.
