The '''Megatron''' of the "Unicron Trilogy" (''[[Transformers: Armada]]'', ''[[Transformers: Energon]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Cybertron]]'') is the leader of the evil [[Decepticon]]s in that universe of the ''[[Transformers (toy line)|Transformers]]'' [[The Transformers (TV series)|mythology]]. In all three animated series, he is modified into '''Galvatron''', reverting to his Megatron name at the beginning of each series. He is voiced by [[David Kaye (voice actor)|David Kaye]], who also voiced the ''[[Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Beast Machines]]'' version of Megatron.

===Animated series===
Megatron is a refined, focused general of the Decepticons. He is extremely cruel, ruthless, and cunning as well as incredibly strong and intelligent. Only Optimus Prime can be compared with him in force. Megatron will stop at nothing in order to achieve his ultimate object, that is to say, to rule over the entire Universe, in the end. In'' Micron Legend ''(the Japanese version of'' Transformers: Armada'') Megatron did not rename himself Galvatron when he received his power boost. Instead, he renames himself when he is reborn in ''Superlink'', using the name "Galvatron" throughout the series. In the American version, on the other hand, he reverts to using the name Megatron again, changing it to Galvatron once more towards the end of the series.

Ten years later, Primus's plan to imprison Unicron's spark at the heart of the sun ultimately failed, leading the star to collapse, creating a black hole that threatened the existence of Cybertron, and the rest of the universe. Escaping his confinement within the sun, Megatron (now known as '''Master Megatron''' in Japan<ref>{{Cite journal | title = Transformers – Galaxy Force Secret Special DVD!| journal = TV Magazine|date = February 2006 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvsjngLBR54| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131002071318/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvsjngLBR54| archive-date=2013-10-02 | url-status=dead}}</ref>) enhanced his powers by merging his body with the remnants of Unicron's shattered form, increasing his power with the dark god's own. In this new form, Megatron becomes a [[Triple Changer]] with the ability to change into a monstrous racing vehicle and a Cybertronian jet plane. His primary weapons consist of two rear-mounted missile launchers and the ability to unleash energy streams from his palms in the shape of lightning bolts. In addition, he can call upon a Cyber Key to activate high-speed thrusters in vehicle mode, as well as a battle claw (named Death Claw in Japan) in robot mode.

Megatron (in his ''Cybertron'' form) appears among the characters in ''Re-Unification'', the 2010 [[TFcon]] voice actor play prelude comic.<ref>[http://www.tfcon.ca/gallery/TFcon-2010-Prelude-Comic] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100922121254/http://www.tfcon.ca/gallery/TFcon-2010-Prelude-Comic|date=September 22, 2010}}</ref>

===Comics===
====Dreamwave Productions====
The story of Megatron in the ''[[Transformers: Armada (comics)|Armada]]'' comics would be similar to his animated counterpart, but with an expanded backstory. Attacking various [[Mini-Con]] villages to draw the Autobots away, Megatron's forces then declared war and invaded Cyber-City, crushing all resistance and announcing himself as its new leader. The Autobots returned but were no match for the Mini-Con-enhanced Decepticons. However, a handful of Mini-Cons broke into Decepticon headquarters, freed most of their comrades, and evacuated the planet. Despite this setback, the few Mini-Cons that Megatron had left were still enough to allow him to conquer Cybertron.

Realizing that the threat Unicron posed was too great to be overcome on his own, Megatron agreed to cooperate with Optimus Prime by pooling resources. Megatron's Decepticons and the Autobots came to a truce for their final battle with Unicron. Megatron returned the Mini-Cons and joined the battle against Unicron, but secretly planned to let the Autobots die and then strike a bargain with Unicron. In the final battle with Unicron, [[Hot Shot (Transformers)|Hot Shot]], [[Red Alert (Transformers)|Red Alert]] and [[Scavenger (Transformers)|Scavenger]] attacked Megatron and knocked him into Unicron's mouth, where he was devoured alive.(Transformers: Armada #18 )

The origin of ''Energon'' Megatron was different in the Dreamwave comics. Although Megatron appeared dead, seemingly devoured by Unicron at the end of the ''Armada'' comics, it was later revealed that Megatron's mind was trapped within Unicron's bulk, where he existed undetected by Unicron, slowly building himself a new body. However, he could not move his consciousness into the body without being detected by Unicron.

Megatron would also appear in the Energon promotional comic. On Earth, Megatron, with the aid of [[Cyclonus|Snowcat]], [[Shockwave (Transformers)|Shockwave]], [[Mirage (Transformers)|Mirage]] and Demolishor, has cornered Optimus Prime and a wounded [[Hot Shot (Transformers)|Hot Shot]]. Optimus refused to give up despite the odds. The other Autobot reinforcements were over ten minutes away when [[Wing Saber]] arrived. Megatron was shocked to learn the power of Optimus Prime when he Powerlink with Wing Saber and turned back all the Decepticons, and then Megatron himself. The Autobots then arrive and Optimus thanked Wing Saber for his help.

====3H Enterprises====
Plucked from his timeline by the power of Unicron immediately after building the Star Saber, Megatron was thrust together with [[Grimlock]] and [[Optimus Primal]] to battle Striker and [[Reptilion]]. Though his fate was not revealed in the line before its cancellation, "Ask Vector Prime" revealed the continued history of this incarnation of Armada Megatron. Having witnessed the evil of Unicron firsthand, he was more easily convinced to join forces with the Autobots, and did not have to witness Starscream's willingness to sacrifice himself. As a result, Starscream stepped up to fill his shoes after Megatron fell during the battle with Unicron, and the Autobots and Decepticons were more fully united when he reappeared as leader of the Terrorcons. Later, during the events of the Unicron Singularity, Megatron would be reformatted into Beast Megatron rather than Galvatron, and eventually face the similarly reformatted Beast Optimus in battle before being destroyed by Vector Prime's sword Rhisling.

"Ask Vector Prime" would also feature another alternate Armada Megatron, this one has become Galvatron, who attempted to form an alliance with Megazarak when that Decepticon arrived in his universe. However, after briefly working together and defeating the Autobots and Rodimus's Omnicons, Galvatron and his Decepticons were set upon by Megazarak and his Destructicons and destroyed.

====Pack-in comics====
In the second ''Transformers: Energon'' pack-in comic [[Prowl (Transformers)|Prowl]], Inferno and [[Landmine (Transformers)|Landmine]] discover some hills on Earth that are rich with Energon and call in to [[Optimus Prime (Unicron Trilogy)|Optimus Prime]] that they should put an Energon tower up. Optimus warns the Autobots that Decepticon activity has been scanned nearby. Megatron attacks with a horde of [[Divebomb]] [[Terrorcon]] clones. The Autobots attempt to fight back by having Mirage and Inferno Powerlinx while Landmine goes into brute mode, but they are overwhelmed when [[Insecticons|Insecticon]] Terrorcon hordes join in the attack. The Autobots retreat and Megatron takes the Energon for himself.
