The terrifying sight of Megabolt's bizarre monstrous visage has spelled
the beginning of the end for legions of doomed alien civilizations. His very
presence has been the precursor for Decepticon colonization across the
cosmos. His function is vital to the expansion of the Decepticon's
interstellar empire; Megabolt routinely acts as a lone herald of the
Decepticon army and establishes first contact with a targeted civilization
Depending on the relative defensive strength of a civilization, Megabolt
will either greet a planet's natives with false promises of friendship and
cooperation between the species, or simply move in like a force of nature,
leaving only destruction in his wake. Then his fellow Decepticons would move
in to plunder the worlds of their resources. He is a skilled diplomat when
need be, but at his Spark, Megabolt is a cruel mechanical monster who
delights in the obliteration of any beings foolish enough to resist
colonization. Megabolt is thoroughly convinced of the innate superiority of
the Transformers race over all other life forms in the universe. He reasons
that all matter, all energies must be made to bend to the Decepticon will.
Under Unicrons' influence Megabolt now sees the limitless possibilities in
the conquest of all realities by Decepticon loyal to Unicron. All opposition
will be either absorbed into Unicron's ranks, or terminated where they
stand.
Weapons / Abilities
Megabolt is a veteran battlefield commander skilled not only in the art of
war but also well-versed in interstellar diplomacies. Has vast data storage
capacity and has assimilated the remains of the accumulated data tracks from
thousands of conquered civilizations. This vast storehouse of knowledge
serves him greatly in his primary function. Megabolt is built for front line
combat, he possesses immense strength and is heavily armoured in all modes.
Head mounted plasma cannon also serves as incendiary missile launcher. Chest
mounted lightning beam projector fires powerful electrical blasts.
Transforms into a massive all-terrain mobile battle tank. In this mode,
Megabolts size expands ten fold and has added troop carrier capacity. Has
advanced scanning array electrical force field projector, and main weapon is
an incendiary missile launcher mounted in his mouth. In this mode, six
insect-like legs allow him to traverse almost any terrain and move at speeds
up to 40 mph. Anti-grav disks mounted on his underside give him flight
capabilities. Eye-beams can scan and analyze enemy technologies. allowing
Megabolt to assess their technical knowledge and probe for weaknesses. The
massive battle tank ?emissary mode" is rumoured to allow him to link up and
act as a command centre "head module" to even larger war machines in his
arsenal.
Weaknesses
While Megabolt is heavily armoured in all modes, he's slow and not
especially agile, making him an easy target, especially in flight. He's also
so utterly convinced of his own invincibility in battle, that he needlessly
exposes himself to dangers most soldiers would avoid. Luckily for him, few
opponents can withstand his onslaught for long. His electrical cannon and
force field projector can become extremely energy draining on his power
reserves if overused.
