History:
Megatron wasn’t always the leader of a rebel force, in fact he hadn’t always been a warrior either. Once, long ago now, Megatron was a teacher and a brilliant mathematician at the great university in Polyhex. It was there that he discovered a trend in numbers that existed in history and realized that Cybertron was headed into a time of civil war. Despite his colleagues disbelief the civil war came, and at it’s head was the tyrannical Optimus Prime.
Megatron swiftly proved himself a capable and caring leader, gathering under himself the resistance forces that were scattered across Cybertron. It was only after discovering the key to being able to hide his forces in plain sight, by giving them the ability to transform at will, as common vehicles that Megatron’s forces gained the name Decepticons. Though Optimus was able to figure out the technology himself Megatron had managed to be come a rather stubborn thorn in Optimus’ side.
It was a surprising but fortuitous turn of events that gave Megatron the chance to meet with Cliffjumper, who happened to be from a mirrored universe from his own. It was with Cliffjumpers help, particularly his unique weapon of glass gas, that allowed them the victory that went far to stall Optimus’ launch of the Ark, giving the Decepticons the time to complete their own ship, the Nemesis. During the fight at the Ark launch platform Megatron took a shot that Optimus had intended for the ‘traitor’ Cliffjumper, proving to the red Minibot that he was, without a doubt, the honorable leader others claimed him to be.
When the time came close again for the Ark to launch the Decepticons had finished their own ship and were prepared to follow the Autobots into space. On the eve of their departure Megatron left to answer a distress call he believed was from Boltax, an old ally, and the keeper of the Temple of Knowledge. Having fallen into a trap Megatron was captured by a few Autobots. Though he was kept captive until after the launch of both the Ark and the Nemesis it was Megatron’s situation that also kept Optimus Prime on Cybertron instead of on a journey to Earth.
Megatron managed to come out of his capture and fight with Optimus with only minimal damage, the loss of one hand that had to be reattached, but both he and Optimus were stuck on Cybertron for the equivalent of an Earth year.
Personality:
Megatron is an ideal mentor and leader in all senses. He is highly intellectual, though not afraid to drop into the realm of physical confrontation if it is needed; he is prone more to use his wits to his advantage, such as angering his enemy into distraction, then a direct attack. He is well mannered with polite speaking tones, he never talks down to any one of his men, and only shows any amount of foul language and terse personality when confronting Optimus.
He is a curious individual, ready to ask questions and learn more about things that are foreign to him, though he is prudent enough to leave in depth understanding for more appropriate time or settings, if either of those are not conductive to such activities. He has a lot of honor and is very cut and dry about his responsibilities to his men and his allies, even going so far as to take a hit that was meant for a reluctant addition to his forces. He is protective of his men and worries foremost about their well being, ignoring his own injuries in favor of seeing his men taken care of first.
Consistently he shows himself to be a very level headed and calm person, keeping his emotions well in check, even when faced with an obstacle. Even being as calm as he is Megatron does show anger on a few occasions, such as an innocent being killed, even in this state he does not act rashly but continues to consider everything going on. Being as cool headed as he is allows Megatron to get out some rather biting remarks against his foes at just the right time, his mockery never too much or particularly vulgar, they are always very precise to strike at something his knows is tender for his opponent.
Other:
Megatron is a giant robot. He is able to transform into a Cybertronian Jet in his alt. mode, and carries a drone-tank known as Rumbler on his right arm (this is the source of his canon and sword).

First Person (entry type):
[The video starts out with Megatron looking at his screen, though if he is seeing anything on it is questionable. He looks a bit tired, if the way his eyes are closing and he seems to be nodding off in front of the computer is any indication. It takes no time for his eyes to close, the light behind the optics fading out as he ‘falls asleep’. Wavering dangerously where he sits he only maintains his balance for a few moments before pitching forward, his head making a loud metallic clang against the desk he has been sitting at.
He reacts quickly to the moment, snapping back up to a sitting position, his hand over his face to sooth away a bit of the sting the hit had caused. He takes a moment to rub his eyes, as if trying to sooth some kind of strain in them before looking back at his screen. He looks surprised to find the video recording, though if he is embarrassed it doesn’t show.]
Oh, hello there everyone, I wonder how long this has been going. Oh well, nothing to be done about that now.
It seems I am constantly being reminded just how much Starscream did for me while he was here. I feel like I’ve taken on more then just half of the operations work since he left, but I didn’t think he ended up running so many things. I will have to think up an appropriate thank you for him when I get the chance to see him again.
I used to wonder if I would miss Starscream’s particular way of honoring me in everything he did or the way he would follow after me, trying to care for every dent and scratch. Well, I do miss it, to be honest, I miss him and the Decepticons that went with him to Earth, as well as our little Autobot, Cliffjumper. Even Cliffjumper himself, after fighting along side us, has come to be an under appreciated asset, something I don’t plan on allowing to continue once I have full contact with them again. I will see to it that they both know just how much they have done for me, how much they have helped me in their time here.
It was far from all of the Decepticons under my command but the base has become much quieter without them here. Maybe it is because of the absence of Soundwave and his cassetts. It is odd what you don’t realize is quite so important until you are missing it.
What about you out there? Have you ever found that someone did more for you then you thought? Or are you the one always helping out your fellows? How do you show your appreciation for someone who works hard to help you out?
Third Person:
Megatron watched the sky as two exhaust trails, one following shortly behind the other, faded into the atmosphere. Faint spots of light, looking like stars, denoting where the two ships where as they sped further and further away from their home planet.
“I wish you all the best, my Decepticons,” his face was set in a neutral expression, though any that knew him would be able to read some sadness to his expression. A part of him envied those that got the chance to reach out, now bound for another planet all together, able to learn new and exciting things that they most likely hadn’t gathered from the transmissions they had tapped into. Another part of him worried, not for the ability of the mechs on the ship, but for their fate, hoping that all the tides of fate were on their side.
“No point in standing out here too long. I must prepare for what ever crazy idea Optimus comes up with next. Now that the Ark is gone he will have to come up with something else.” With that Megatron turned to his base entrance and walked in, giving the sky one last wistful glance as he let his steps lead him into the cover of the building.

Well, it has certainly been an interesting orbital cycle, for lack of a better word. We hadn't been expecting to be attacked by Optimus at Arch-Ayr, though it was hoping too much that they wouldn't also be on the track of forgotten fuel deposits as we were.
[He vents a small sigh and shakes his head.]
I am glad that we came out victorious, the fuel deposits will help greatly. But I do worry about some of our fighters. Our goal is to fight for our freedom, but it seems many of our warriors are becoming more and more enamored by the fight itself then the goal in the long run. They are becoming quite enthusiastic, and it worries me that such enthusiasm will lead to battle choices that could leave their teammates bringing home parts and pieces instead of comrades.
