This Megatron, later called Galvatron, is a heroic mirror image of the usual Megatron character from the BotCon exclusive ''Shattered Glass'' comic, in which the Decepticons are on the side of good and the Autobots on the side of evil. Megatron transforms into a Cybertronian jet. He has a drone partner named Rumbler, who can act as a cannon for Megatron or form a neutronic blade weapon. After nearly being killed in an assassination attempt Megatron was rebuilt by Nexus Prime into [[Galvatron]]. According to his Tech Specs Megatron was once a young mathematician who lectured at one of Cybertron's most prestigious universities.

In the [[Fun Publications]] story ''Shattered Glass'' Megatron recruits the Autobot [[Cliffjumper]] from an alternate reality to aid him against the Autobots of his world. He later leads an attack on the Autobot's ''Ark'' launch site.<ref>{{cite comic |colorist=Espen Grundetjern |date=Botcon 2008 |editor=Pete Sinclair & Brian Savage |inker=[[Don Figueroa]] |issue=3 |letterer=Jesse Wittenrich |penciller=Don Figueroa |publisher=Fun Publications |story=Shattered Glass |title=Transformers Timelines |volume=2 |writer=Pete Sinclair & Benson Yee}}</ref> Megatron appears in ''Dungeons & Dinobots'', a text-based story. He defends the Arch-Ayr fuel dump from an Autobot attack. He later sends several of his troops to capture and reprogram the rogue Dinobots built by the mad Autobot scientist Wheeljack.<ref>{{cite book|author=S. Trent Troop|author-link=S.

Megatron is captured by the Autobot Targetmasters in ''[[Do Over (Transformers)|Do Over]]'', but is freed thanks to help by the Predacons and Whisper. When confronted by Optimus Prime he attempts to use the Autobot Targetmaster Nightstick to shoot the Autobot leader, but Nightstick takes control of Megatron's arm. Megatron then tricks Optimus into using Megatron's own weapon to cut Megatron's hand off, freeing him from Nightstick. Megatron misses the launch of the Decepticon ship ''Nemesis'', which is taken over by Starscream to counter Autobot ship ''Ark''.<ref>{{cite book|author=S. Trent Troop|author-link=S.

In ''Reunification'', Megatron greets a [[Quintesson]] and the dimensional travelers Breakaway, Topspin [[Skyfall (Transformers)|Skyfall]] and [[Landquake]] after their escape from the Autobot combiner [[Computron (Transformers)|Computron]]. Megatron introduces the travelers to Heatwave but then is shot by the traitor [[Cyclonus]], who is working for [[Alpha Trion]]. The travelers try to combine their powers with Heatwave to return Megatron to life, but instead, have a vision of Skyfall and are combined into Nexus Prime. Nexus Prime resurrects Megatron as Galvatron. Megatron appears in a flashback in ''The Coming Storm'', depicting his rebirth as Galvatron by Nexus Prime.

Another character named "Megatron" would appear in the story ''Shattered Destiny'', the final chapter of the Beast Wars Shattered Glass comic arc. This version is a heroic counterpart to the Beast Era Megatron. Megatron is a heroic Predacon. Megatron's ship, the ''[[Darksyde]]'', was battling the ''[[Axalon]]'' when it was pulled through an unexpected temporal and dimensional rift and crash-landed on prehistoric Earth. He and his crew disembarked to find [[Depth Charge (Transformers)|Depth Charge]] outside. Megatron appears to be based on the deluxe-sized Beast Wars 10th-anniversary Megatron toy with [[Optimus Primal]]'s color scheme.
