Facts About The Leader Of Decepticons In Transformers 2

By Michael Nielsen

The Decepticons are the ones who acquire the place of the opponents in the Transformers film and are the enemies of the Autobots, who have taken up the liability of defending the Earth. There are many different baddies among the Decepticons, but it is the Megatron, who is their boss and has always been their leader.

The Decepticons have red eyes different from the Autobots, which are having blue ones. The attribute for which the Decepticons are most well known is having air power. The most frequent forms into which the Decepticons usually transform are aircrafts, military vehicles, objects that are less than human size, and construction vehicles.

All the Decepticons go after Megatron's guide while thinking very small about the humans, whom they all think as sickening. The leaders of the Decepticons believe in the 'rule of the strong' and when Megatron, the present leader of the Decepticons makes a conclusion, everyone is likely to pursue. Megatron has the brains to lead the Decepticons and is considered as the strongest and the smartest of them all.

In Transformers 2, Megatron is a skilled boss who develops plan and is a planned chief in the battleground. He is portrayed as otherwise ferocious, and very rarely being reasonable and respectful. The slogan that Megatron believes in and practices is that peace can be brought through tyranny.

Megatron is also appearing in the Revenge of the Fallen with all his typical features that make him what he is. He is measured to be completely brutal when it comes to making conclusions and taking actions. He is aggressive in nature and his most dominating weapon is his arm mounted fusion gun.

In the previous Transformers motion picture, the Decepticons chief Megatron was killed and thrown into the Laurentian gulf and has been brought back to survival by the Constructicons using dead robot parts. It has now become a Cybertronian tank. As he fascinated the 'Allspark' debris, he has become even stronger than he was before. This debris was the cause of killing him in the first place.

The revival of Megatron has taken place, and in order to save the audience from any kind of confusion, he is named 'Megatron' after the revival instead of naming him 'Galvatron'. The Fallen corrupted Megatron to form the Decepticons. The Fallen was actually one of the thirteen transformers and he was the Lucifer. That is why he is known as 'The Fallen'.

Hugo Weaving is playing Megatron in The Revenge of the Fallen. Megatron who is a Cybertronian tank had many rumours about his come back in the second Transformers film. The Transformers 2 production company wanted the emergence of Megatron to stay in secret until the release of the film, to keep the element of revelation and excitement.

However, because of the fact that Megatron was a very significant part of the first movie, the fans wanted to know more and it was after months of speculation that the writer Roberto Orci confirmed that Megatron would be returning in the sequel. - 23806
