History Characters / TransformersFilmSeries

** [[Characters/TransformersFilmSeriesMegatron Megatron]]

Cybertron's ancient enemy, Unicron's status as the Earth itself is the reason for why the Cybertronians are attracted to the planet.

* ApocalypseHow: Certainly can cause a Class X if he were to awaken, since he ''is'' the Earth itself.

* BigBadEnsemble: With Galvatron and Attinger in ''Age of Extinction''. Although Lockdown and Attinger [[BigBadDuumvirate technically work together]], they have different goals and operate distinctly from one another, while Galvatron is a separate threat altogether.

* TheDragon: He's this for his [[GreaterScopeVillain employers]], being the agent sent by them to retrieve Optimus.

* EldritchAbomination: He is a planet-eating gigantic monstrous entity, like all his counterparts.

Due to Hasbro's decision to reboot the film franchise with ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'', characters from ''Bumblebee'' and its potential sequels instead go [[Characters/{{Bumblebee}} here]].

* GreaterScopeVillain: Lockdown's employers and the creators of the Cybertronian race.

* AlienWizard: She's a robotic alien sorceress.

!The Creators

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Quintessa serves as this for ''The Last Knight''. She intends to destroy Unicron (who is Earth's core) to save Cybertron and corrupts Optimus to do so.]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:Quintessa and Megatron are actually working together to revitalize their home planet, although as it's her plan Quintessa is the one who's giving orders to Megatron during the final phases, since he's the brawn and she's the brains. Megatron's face having red vein-like features might imply he's being mind-controlled by Quintessa.]]

!Others

* AmbiguousSituation: It's not clear how she relates to either the Creators or the Dynasty of Primes.

* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:Quintessa and Megatron are actually working together to revitalize their home planet, even though Quintessa is the one who's giving orders to Megatron during the final phases of their plan, since he's the brawn and she's the brains. Though Megatron's face having red vein-like features would indicate he's being mind-controlled by Quintessa.]]

* UnreliableNarrator: She claims to be the "Prime of Life" and the Creator of the Transformers, yet she seems to be Cybertronian. The Creators shown in the ''Age of Extinction'' are depicted as having biomechanical hands, while Quintessa's design doesn't match the Primes seen in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. [[spoiler:Her plan to revitalize Cybertron using Unicron's energy also contradicts the Creators' implied plan in the previous film, which was to wipe out all Transformers and start over from scratch.]] Additionally, the Knights call her "The Great Deceiver" for a reason and accused Optimus of betraying his own kind, both of which imply she was lying about her goals.

* TheHeavy: For his [[GreaterScopeVillain employers]], as well as the film's BigBadEnsemble. Attinger physically can't fight the Autobots, and Galvatron spends half the movie as a mindless drone before regaining his memories, leaving Lockdown as the most active and direct threat to the heroes.

* AbortedArc: Thanks to the film series going in a different direction with ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'', it's unlikely that Unicron's story will be continued. The sequel ''Film/TransformersRiseOfTheBeasts'' features Unicron, albeit a different take.

->'''Voiced by:''' Mark Ryan

* AbortedArc: Thanks to the film series going in a different direction with ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'', it's unlikely that Unicron's story will be continued.

* {{Leitmotif}} She has a rather sinister sounding motif that plays whenever she appears.

* {{Leitmotif}} He has his own theme which is both ominous and menacing at the same time.

* ConsummateProfessional: Unlike previous villains, he's not interested in subjugating or slaughtering humanity just because he's stronger than they are. He even honors his bargain with Attinger and gives him the Seed once he has Optimus, when he could have easily double-crossed and killed him and his men.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: It's heavily hinted that Lockdown sees Attinger's attempts to get rich for ''exactly'' what they are. This before the movie itself even hinted as such, to boot.

* EvilVirtues: Honor and Resourcefulness. Honors his end of the deal with Attinger despite holding him in contempt and being in a perfect position to screw him hard, and treats Optimus as something of a WorthyOpponent throughout. [[CombatPragmatist Not much elaboration is needed on his resoucefulness]].

* PunchClockVillain: Don't get us wrong; Lockdown is as brutal as any antagonist we've seen before; but once he claims his target, he's simply going to leave Earth to collect his payment from his client. He's not interested in the war at all.

* FantasticRacism: Shown to hold humans in disdain throughout, though not quite to the level of [[KillEmAll previous antagonists]].

* AbusivePrecursors: They were the ones who created the Cybertronian race, have a habbit of terraforming planets for their own purposes while not caring if lifeforms are already present, and sent Lockdown after Optimus, and evidently didn't bother telling him to spare the Autobots.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Of the Creators we've seen, Quintessa, is a lot prettier than the biomechanical pink hand seen in ''Age of Extinction''. And if one believes she is a Quintesson, this also applies to the tentacled robotic creatures. While she still has tentacles, they emerge from the bottom, making her look like a ghost, especially since she's colored light blue and floats. [[spoiler:She gets even prettier as a human.]]
