History Characters / CodePrimeMegatron

The ruthless and tyrannical leader of the Decepticons. He is a cruel, merciless, and power-hungry madman who aims to expand his voyage of conquest and war to Earth after damaging the core of his home planet, also intending to destroy anyone who may oppose his rule, including Optimus Prime and the Autobots. He is also the one who helped a young Charles zi Britannia's rise to power and establish his empire's Darwinist ideals, having been Charles's mentor, corrupting him with said ideals.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Unlike Optimus who is seen as a symbol of hope and a great hero beloved by all, Megatron had become the ultimate symbol of hatred, a vile, horrible madman despised by all due to his crimes against Cybertron and against Humanity. Even when he's ruling over the half of the world in ''R2'', the people among his empire, all keep in line for fear of execution despite not liking him. It's little wonder all of the Autobot-Black Knight Alliance celebrate Megatron's death [[spoiler:after Lelouch/Zero Prime destroys him for good and Optimus confirms it to the troops.]]

* BigBad: Of the first two seasons. As the leader of the Decepticons who started the war in the first place and was responsible for Britannia's rise to power, Megatron was the main source of conflict and the prime mover behind all the horrific events that transpire within the Megatron saga.

* WorthyOpponent: He considers Optimus Prime and Lelouch/Zero to be admirable enemies for him to fight, the former due to his combat prowess, especially when eyeing Optimus' duel with Cornelia, and the latter due to his effective strategic planning, resolve, and growth under Optimus and the Autobots' guidance. {{Defied}} so far with Suzaku Kururugi despite Megatron even admitting that he sees more of himself in Suzaku than even Lelouch; Megatron admits that he would consider Suzaku this if the Honorary Britannian had more foresight on what he truly wanted to accomplish.

* TheChessmaster: He organized the SAZ Massacre, arranged the Euphemia Pretender Drone to trigger the event, as a distraction, knowing that it will spark an attack from the Grand Alliance so he can destroy the Britannian Empire at it's heart.

* VillainousValor: No matter the obstacles or the setbacks, [[{{Determinator}} Megatron will always strive on forward towards his goal.]] And unlike Starscream, Megatron is '''''absolutely''''' no coward -- if faced with a threat that even he realizes might be too much for him, Megatron will confront it head-on and fight with every spark in his being. Even when confronted with a Terrorcon monstrosity featured in ''Stronger, Faster, Deadlier!'', he opts to engage it head-on.

* TheEmperor: Megatron had ruled the Decepticon empire since he started the war and had conquered half of Earth to annex them a part of his Empire.

** While [[VillainHasAPoint he is correct]] that Suzaku constantly avoids taking responsibility for his actions and choices, Megatron isn't much better since blames Optimus for the War and for Cybertron's destruction despite both happening almost entirely as a result of Megatron's choices. Megatron chose violence when he wasn't allowed to rule Cybertron by the council and later poisoned Cybertron's core thinking he'd be able to control it. However, Megatron later reveals that he is actually fully aware that he was completely at fault for causing the destruction of his home planet and merely fed Suzaku that story to further manipulate him.

** In ''Facade of Blood'', he [[spoiler:kidnaps Euphemia and replaces her with an android bearing her likeness to start a massacre at the SAZ, thus [[LifesWorkRuined destroying her hopes of creating peace between Britannia, the Black Knights and the Autobots]].]]

* TheDreaded: From the very start of the series, the Autobots make certain to let their Black Knight allies know how dangerous and malevolent Megatron is, between his skills in fighting, his strategic mind, and his lack of empathy. [[spoiler:When Lelouch fights him in ''Rise of the Decepticons'', he's in complete shock and horror over Megatron's power and ruthlessness.]]

* StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler:His Dark Geass of "[[SupernaturalFearInducer Absolute Terror]]" is ''ridiculously'' overpowered, being a OneHitKill with absolutely no limitations at all - it even works on ''Code Bearers'']]. [[spoiler:It's revealed in ''Fall of Britannia'' that Megatron can bring out a person's worst fears by looking deep in their soul, and can manipulate the fears and the visions they cause. In addition, Megatron can either kill his victims by making their visions so severe that their hearts can't take it, or have them live by bringing them out of their vision. The only things that can shake it off is sheer willpower, which Optimus has in spades (with a little morale boost from the Matrix of Leadership), or a Geass of equal power to counter it, which Optimus gains from C.C. (Cera) in ''Till All Are One''. It isn't used a lot, however, due to it being so deadly, with Optimus being the only one who face it and emerge none the worse from it.]]

* DisappointedByTheMotive: [[spoiler:He would almost be proud of Charles for deceiving him... if not for the fact that the Fallen Emperor's plan and motivation shows that he's mentally a small boy who wants the world to revolve around him, rather than a proud ruler who would change the world through his own will.]]
