"My power is everything; defeat is absurd!"

Galvatron is determined to lead the Decepticons to victory, crushing the Autobots and claiming Cybertron as his own. Powerful and cunning, with a volatile temper and insatiable ambitions.

Evil Reborn[]

Galvatron used to be Megatron. No one really knows where Megatron came from. There are several theories including "he was a gladiator on ancient Cybertron," "one day he just showed up on a balcony with Ravage and Soundwave" and "he was built by the Constructicons after building the Constructicons himself in a TIME PARADOX.

Awesome megatron — Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

Megatron fought Quintessons for a long time. Then he had a disagreement with the Autobots and fought Autobots for a long, long time. They tried to get away in their spaceship, the Ark, and he followed the Ark to Earth in his spaceship, the Nemesis. He boarded the Ark just before it crashed and was knocked unconscious for a very long time. Eventually seismic activity caused the Ark to revive one of the Decepticons, who revived the other Decepticons. They set out to conquer the Earth, which would have been a snap with all the Autobots comatose in the Ark. Starscream then ruined everything by shooting the Ark and causing an Autobot to be revived. If Megatron had known that Starscream was the reason for the whole war after that point he would probably have killed him a lot earlier.

Megatron fought Autobots for another long time although not as long as the previous time. Eventually he discovered that if the Decepticons just set their lasers from "knock over" to "kill" they could win the war in one big (two hour long) fight. Megatron instructed all the Decepticons to do so and even Scavenger was able to kill Prowl in one hit! Megatron was even finally able to kill Optimus Prime thanks to Hot Rod getting in the way of Prime's shot at the last moment. Everything was going terrific until Starscream ruined everything again by pitching Megatron, who was injured in the fight, out into space.

Unicron, a huge fat planet-sized Transformer with godlike powers who sounded like Orson Wells, found Megatron and some dead Seekers and Insecticons and rebuilt Megatron's body, making him faster, stronger, better! Unicron had the technology! Unicron also brought the dead guys back to life as Scourge, Cyclonus, some Sweeps, and Armada, who was just like Cyclonus except that he was forgotten about right away and never seen again.

Unicron renamed Megatron to Galvatron. Galvatron made sure to kill Starscream first thing upon getting back to base, then went on a rampage. He almost had everything under control except that Unicron kept giving him these terrible headaches, and the stupid Autobot Matrix of Leadership wouldn't open no matter how hard he pulled on it (he didn't know to put his fingers in the finger-holes). Unfortunately it would open for Hot Rod, who was transformed into a bigger, older version of himself, Rodimus Prime. Rodimus pitched Galvatron back out into space and destroyed Unicron with the power of rock & roll.

Galvatron hates Hot Rod so much.

During the Decepticon Civil War in 2029, Galvatron was put back into the body of Megatron for some reason*, while a splinter faction of Decepticons was led by an insane clone of Galvatron. Megatron-Galvatron then apparently killed Galvatron-Galvatron, and went back to being Galvatron-Galvatron-Galvatron. None of it made much sense at all, which is something that an enigmatic consortium of esoteric Decepticons -- including Thunderwing and the reclusive Jhiaxus -- exploited. Using the mysterious, teleporting Armada to kidnap Galvatron, his identity was switched with that of his insane clone, and it was the insane clone who emerged victorious.

Galvatron's mad doppelganger ruled the Decepticons for a year, becoming progressively more and more unhinged, which no one seemed to pay much attention to. Eventually, in September 2030, the real Galvatron broke free, killed Armada, and took back leadership of the Decepticons once and for all. Unfortunately, the "true" Galvatron is also something of a raving maniac, so anyone who was going to celebrate the change of leadership was going to be a little disappointed.

The paradigm shift would occur when Galvatron, mad with a scheme to move Cybertron, was thrown into the heart of the planet's engine -- shattering a lense of power. The shattered lense teleported Galvatron to an unknown location in space. Just what happened in the following week is a mystery and Galvatron to this day will not speak of it. Returning in a blaze of glory, Galvatron seemed to revert back to his more collected (Nimoy) self prior to being permanently traumatized by the power of Rodimus' Rock & Roll.

* Several Transformers had their bodies transferred to an alternate dimension and their minds imprisoned in human bodies during the Human Nature TP. This included Galvatron. The Decepticons were trying to find a way to restore Galvatron to a proper Decepticon body, so they settled for transferring his mind to an Avatar shell, as Avatar looks almost exactly like Megatron and, well, that's the next best thing.

Memorandum[]

Although Galvatron remembers being Megatron he's not quite the same guy. His voice actor is different, for one thing. He's also much more prone to cannon people who get out of line. The whole Starscream thing for example.

Galvatron is pretty decent to the Decepticons, most of the time. He just has a tendency to SUDDEN VIOLENCE if you get on his bad side. It's a big side and easy to get on.

Even though he's glad that Optimus is dead, Galvatron still hates Hot Rod (now Rodimus). He wanted to kill Optimus in single combat and now everyone's going "well, Megatron could never have killed Optimus, it was really all Hot Rod's fault," which steams Galvatron something awful. What's worse, he can't go back and re-kill Optimus just to prove the point because Optimus has insisted on staying dead this time.

Galvatron's fusion cannon is so powerful that if he turns it up to full blast, he can destroy just about anything with it. For some reason he doesn't just do this to Rodimus. No one knows why not.

Sometimes Galvatron just feels like slapping a bitch (read: Sweep).

Galvatron has always loved ridiculous superweapons. This is why he gets along so well with Scrapper (that and also he may have created/been created by Scrapper, see above TIME PARADOX).
Galvatron prefers Cyclonus to all other means of transportation.
Galvatron hates the Combaticons.

Obituaries[]

Armada - Mysterious Decepticon doppelganger of Cyclonus, believed to be the Unicronization of Skywarp - Kidnapped Galvatron and switched him with an insane duplicate who ruled the Decepticons for a year. Cannoned in two during the real Galvatron's escape.

Adjudicanis - Quintesson, Five-Face Master - Invaded Cybertron with drone army surging up from underground while the majority of the Autobots and Decepticons were on Monacus for the 2019 Olympics. Required to enter a plea of guilt or innocence when Galvatron got back and found him. Pled innocence. Immolated.

Brawn* - Autobot, Land Rover - Wrong place, wrong time. Cored like an apple.

Briar, Michael - Human, EDC General - Attacked a supply depot in the frozen wastes of Eastern Siberia where Galvatron was visiting without any of his more powerful troops in tow. Exo-suit cannoned open, then mortally wounded by Galvatron's morningstar. Succumbed immediately after carrying Spike Witwicky to safety.

Cross, Franklin (aka Compton Xabat) - Human, EDC General - Attempted to destroy Cybertron with a superweapon of his own design, but Triggerhappy helpfully held onto him so Galvatron could mortally wound him.

Cinderblock - Decepticon, A-10 Warthog - Stole medical supplies for personal use in defiance of the Constructicons, drew a weapon on Galvatron when confronted. Galvatron cannoned him, then ordered that he be stabilized. Instructed his immediate supervisor, Fusillade, to select a firing squad. The following morning Cinderblock was taken out behind the chemical sheds and shot.

Deadfall - Decepticon, Sweep - Suffered from robo-narcolepsy. Fell asleep at extremely inopportune times. Eventually fell asleep in battle. Not so much executed as simply left on the field after the battle was over and allowed to die.

Galvatron - Decepticon, Decepticon Leader - An insane clone of himself who led the Decepticons for a year. Cannoned right in the freaking face.

Garrotte - Decepticon, Sweep - Galvatron ordered him torn apart by Scourge. No one seems to remember why.

Hi-Q - Stepped on and ground under Galvatron's heel.

Ironhide* - Autobot, Van - Suffered from a sassy mouth. Head exploded.

Jetwash - Decepticon, Seeker - Generally disloyal, harbored desires to change sides. Guilty of fraternization with the Junkion Pak-Gor and Autobot Crescendo, and releasing an Autobot prisoner from Darkmount. Cannoned. Jetwash's body was later salvaged by Pak-Gor and rebuilt in (extremely flimsy) disguise as "Incognito." Incognito attempted to defect to the Autobots, who didn't want him. Survived for a while as a neutral. Eventually was caught. Cannoned more thoroughly this time.

Mindbomb - Decepticon Medic - Perished by being blown apart by Galvatron for treasonous actions. Noteworthy for being the first OC on the MUSH to suffer this particular fate.

Starscream - Decepticon, Seeker - Threw Megatron out an airlock in hopes that he might die. Made a bad judgement call. Disintegrated.

Starscream, Holographic - Ex-Decepticon, Embodied Ghost - Somehow a training hologram of Starscream became solid enough to affect its surroundings, possessing mass, intellect, the ability to produce sound, every weapon one could possibly think of, and combat stats of 140 or more. Galvatron was not amused. Dissipated.
Overlord - Decapitated via cannoning. Reduced to a laser core. Galvatron doesn't tolerate temper tantrums.
