Megatron as a gladiator is a fierce and revolutionary force, embittered by oppression. He carries a deep contempt for the Senate's corruption and channels his anger in the gladiatorial pits of the city of Kaon, where his charisma and raw power eventually made him a symbol of rebellion. Driven by a quest for freedom and equality for all Cybertronians regardless of alt mode, his ideals, though noble, are tempered by ruthless pragmatism and the belief that the strong should rule the weak.
