Making A Megatron

The Story of MEGATRON: The Transformers Miner turned Megalomaniac. Every great hero needs an equally epic villain—and when it comes to Transformers, they don’t get badder (or more misunderstood) than Megatron. In this deep dive, after a lot of dodging, I'll finally tackle the twisted, tragic, and kinda poetic rise of the Decepticon leader—from Cybertronian miner and reluctant gladiator to warlord with a vision (and a fusion cannon). Whether you're into G1 nostalgia, IDW lore, or just love a well-done villain arc, this is the Megatron origin story , straight from The Toyshelf. Just don’t expect a toy rundown…yet. 😏
