Despite being a cruel tyrant, MEGATRON managed to win the allegiance of many of the TRANSFORMERS with his fiery diatribes on the great destiny that awaited them among the stars. He spoke of a grand army of mighty machines, empowered by the awesome energies of the AllSpark, sweeping across the galaxy, conquering all before them. He spoke of a new golden age for CYBERTRON in which the machine world would be the mobile capitol at the heart of an interstellar empire. Those who followed him would taste power, and be rewarded with ultimate authority over billions of lives, while those who opposed him would cease functioning.
