Profile 2 : Megatron

MEGATRON

Age: Unknown.
Eyes: Red.
Hair: None.
Body Type : Gun metal (grey)

Turn-Ons: Blasting things, berating minions, ruling Cybertron, giant killer planets.
Turn-Offs: Autobots, puny humans.

Nemesis: The noble and rather tiringly moral Optimus Prime. The leader of the Autobots has stood in Megatron's way for many years despite clearly not being a tactical genius. One shall stand and one shall fall (eventually)

Luxury Items: A box of energon, gun wax, handgun display case, a copy of 'The Man Who Would Be King'

Choice Of Minion: Starscream. Whilst the two have had a troubled working relationship Starscream has served as Megatron's right hand robot for a long time. Narky, devious and always looking to overthrown his master Star scream is as much hindrance as help.

The powerful and ruthless Megatron leads his fellow decepticons in their battle against the Autobots in a civil war that has raged for countless years across Cybertron. As the conflict expanded across the universe Megatron always called Cyberton home and has fought alongside sworn enemies in the past to protect it.

Coming closest to the losing his homeland when he had a brief dalliance with a giant planet eating entity by name of Unicron. The relationship quickly ended when, well, Unicron exploded, but you know these things happen.

He should perform well with a number of given advantages (first off he actually is a weapon, he can confusingly change his size to suit events and giant robots always tend to fend well against fleshy types) but will need to be careful not to be undermined by his own minion and try to suppress his impulse to order retreat at the first sign of carefully laid plans going awry.
