Editing Megatron (section)

The ''Transformers Classics'' comics published in the Official Transformers Collectors Club magazine are set in the Marvel Comics continuity, but in a timeline where the events of ''Generation 2'' did not occur. The story occurs fifteen years after Megatron was presumed dead in the crash of the Ark. Megatron survived, and eventually upgraded his body (based on his Classics toy) and gathered many other Decepticons to him. Soundwave helped him in recovering the body of Astrotrain, which was then used to help locate the placement of other fallen Decepticons around the globe. Those who joined Megatron included [[Laserbeak]], [[Ramjet (Transformers)|Ramjet]], [[Ravage (Transformers)|Ravage]], [[Skywarp]], [[Soundwave (Transformers)|Soundwave]], [[Starscream]] and the [[Constructicons]]. Megatron also reactivated [[Thrust (Transformers)|Thrust]], [[Dirge (Transformers)|Dirge]] and [[Thundercracker]], but the three left him to join up with Bludgeon's troops&nbsp;— mostly because they couldn't work with Starscream, who had killed them once. Megatron based his command on the wreck of the Ark in the Yukon, where he keeps the fallen body of Ratchet as a trophy and the severed, but living, head of [[Shockwave (Transformers)|Shockwave]] as an advisor.

In ''Crossing Over'', when [[Skyfall (Transformers)|Skyfall]] and [[Landquake]] were presumed killed in the midst of a bloody [[Mini-Con]] civil war and attack by Unicron (set concurrently with the events of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron]]''), they were, in actuality, transported across universes, from the world of the ''Unicron Trilogy'' into the ''Marvel Comics'' timeline. Unclear what had happened, they then found themselves staring down the barrel of Megatron's cannon. The two were saved when a group of Robot Hunters in battle suits attacked Megatron. Megatron slaughtered them, only to be confronted by a team of Autobots led by Optimus Prime. Skyfall went with the Autobots, while Landquake was taken by Megatron. Back at the Ark Landquake was interrogated and swore loyalty to Megatron. Scrapper detected an unusual Energon reading similar to that of Landquake and the Decepticons went to investigate, only to be confronted by the Autobots again.

In ''Games of Decepticon'', Megatron detects the arrival of [[Bug Bite (Transformers)|Bugbite]]'s ship on Earth and sends Starscream, Skywarp, and Ramjet to investigate. The Decepticons capture the Autobot spy Mirage. Returning to the Ark the Decepticons fall under the sway of Bugbite, who is using cerebro shells he stole from the Insecticon Bombshell. Megatron overcomes the shell and destroys Bugbite, as the Autobots under the command of Grimlock raid the Ark, destroying the computer and saving Mirage.

Megatron appears in ''At Fight's End'' talking to Ratchet. Megatron defeated Deathsaurus in combat for leadership of the Decepticons. He orders the combiner technology that he captures from Deathsaurus to be used on the Constructicons. Megatron then attacks Iacon with his new weapon, Devastator.<ref>{{Cite journal | author= Pete Sinclair | author2= Jesse Wittenrich | name-list-style= amp | title = Battle Lines Part 5 | journal = Transformers Collectors Club Magazine| volume = 1 | issue = 41 | page= 3 |date = October–November 2011}}</ref>
