Megatron appears as a massive, powerful warlord with a sleek, angular silver-and-grey color scheme, prominent red optics, and a distinctive helmet design, Megatron is vile, but he is soft-spoken and polite to allies or enemies, having valued the loyalty of his minions and acknowledges them, but would secretly belittle them. Even as he only refers to the Autobots as "Autobot" and doesn't even bother to learn their names, Megatron is still polite to them in battle. Also, as he threatens Professor Sumdac into serving him, Megatron does respect his enemies whenever they are worthy of it. Megatron also speaks often of freeing the Decepticons from Autobot oppression, but in reality, is nothing but clever rhetoric Megatron uses for his quest for power. Megatron values loyalty, but he won't hesitate to sacrifice his own loyal soldiers if it could grant him victory. He is the ruthless and charismatic leader of the Decepticons after having overthrown their previous leader, Megazarak. Using the rhetoric to free the Decepticons from Autobot oppression, he rallied up support to initiate the Great War, hunting for the sacred Cybertronian artifact, the Allspark even after the war ended. Following his betrayal by his second-in-command Starscream, Megatron went to a 50 year stasis-lock, only to then reawaken and come into conflict with the young Autobot cadet Optimus Prime, whom would ultimately become his arch-nemesis. 35 feet in height
