===Megatron===
The most feared and dreaded Decepticon warlord to ever arise, the disappearance of the Slagmaker was less of a relief than many had hoped. After all, who could dare to trust that the mech responsible for the greatest civil war until the Horus Heresy - indeed, Cybertronians would argue that their civil war was ''worse'' since the Horus Heresy barely lasted more than a decade whilst theirs has raged for millions of years - had just crawled off into the darkness and died? Even in the Imperium, those poor souls cursed with the responsibility of awareness of Megatron's deeds and history find it harder to sleep at night when they contemplate the possibility that he might still be out there...

Megatron's past is an enigma, even to his followers, but it was known that he had originally worked as a miner before abandoning that career to find a more lucrative one as a professional gladiator. In the oil-stained, fluid-spattered arenas of Kaon, the formerly obscure figure climbed to stardom on a pile of broken bodies and crushed wills, the powerful frame and inexhaustible stamina that had once torn Energon crystals and valuable ores from living earth now finding a gorier function. But Megatron was no mere dumb brute, alas for the galaxy, for if he had been, he may have found peace there. But beneath his brutish shell lay the processor of a charismatic and intelligent soul, who educated himself as best he could, and used his reputation as a gladiator to force a way into the political arena for himself.

To this day, it's argued in dark corners whether Megatron really was sincere when he began his preaching against social inequality amongst Cybertonians, only to be corrupted into a tyrant, or if he was a fraud all along. What is known is that it was not long before Megatron grew tired of peaceful protests and began demanding change - by force. He and his followers became violent rebels, committing terrorist actions that soon sparked a full-scale war, forever dividing their people into warring factions.

Megatron's alternate form was a thing of terror to all who saw it, an armoured and heavily armed flying vessel, of a design archaic even when he chose it, capable of soaring through the stars and delivering death wherever he chose. He bore a massive energy blaster, one so unstable that few others could have hoped to carry it and survive its energy fluctuations, but Megatron wielded it with ease. Worlds burned and died at his command, entire species were rendered extinct at his whim. He was a monster, and amongst the Decepticons who have faced the Space Marines, it is said that even Primarchs were leery of doing battle with their dark lord.

How foolish Prime was to protect them and not destroy them when they were in their infancy... But that is the past, and this is now! It is now ''our'' time to take back what is ours, to avenge our fallen and push the pathetic humans back to the festering hole from once they came!'''
