![]() ![]() “Idealist” certainly isn’t a word we would have applied to the old school Megatron but running with that for EarthSpark has us incredibly intrigued. Optimus Prime becomes infected with a Decepticon plague, and Arcee and Bumblebee must sneak aboard the Decepticon warship to find the formula for the cure. He’s a headstrong idealist but isn’t unwilling to adjust his strategy when victory hangs in the balance. Adopting the name Megatronus, he survived many battles, fought to get rid of the corrupt caste system, and befriended a robot named Orion Pax who would eventually become Autobot leader Optimus Prime. ![]() Rory McCann ( Game of Thrones ) as “Megatron,” the father of the Decepticon faction who believes in making any sacrifice necessary for the survival of Cybertronian civilization. Transformers: EarthSpark is certainly taking some bold steps with Transformers lore but we’ve got the feeling it’ll pay off in the long run.įor those not keeping up with news on Transformers: EarthSpark, we first got details of the new Megatron at San Diego Comic-Con 2022.

In the clip Megatron takes on Decepticon Soundwave, who refers to Megatron as a traitor. It’s not just the Autobots Megatron has to contend with though, his former teammates aren’t too pleased about this. The story potential in that plot thread alone could fill an entire series!
