* Megatron of all people in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye''. When he's on trial and Chromedome is going to perform mnemosurgery on him to see if his [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]] is legit or not, Megatron freaks the hell out and refuses to allow Chromedome near him with the needles. It keeps things ambiguous as to whether or not he's being genuine, but in a later unrelated incident, Megatron cringes and looks away when Chromedome prepares to do it again on something else, suggesting it's genuine. Then a later issue's flashbacks reveal that in his youth, Megatron was captured and nearly put under forced mnemosurgery by the sadistic scientist Trepan to effectively lobotomize him to stymie his political writings that were inspiring too much resentment against the Senate, and the incident genuinely traumatized Megatron.
