Megatron looking angry and Optimus looking worried in Transformers One
With the movie starting with him on the morally good side of things, Josh Cooley breaks down how Transformers One explores Megatron's villainous origins. The latest installment in the long-running franchise serves as an animated prequel, exploring the early relationship between Megatron, originally named D-16, and Optimus Prime, first known as Orion Pax, as they become friends and learn about a dark secret on Cybertron that will change their lives and planet forever.
The other major key to crafting a meaningful origin story for Megatron's villainy was to create"the ultimate bad guy" in Jon Hamm's Sentinel Prime, as the more evil they made him, the easier it could be for audiences to"sympathize more" with Megatron, and"understand where he's coming from": With Cooley having recently teased plans for the animated prequel movie to expand into a trilogy, it seems likely that this will only be the start of Megatron's turn to villainy. This is especially true as Transformers One's ending saw the character exiled along with Cyberton's High Guard, of whom Starscream is a part, and Megatron dub them the Decepticons, with plans to get revenge on his former friend and regain control of Cybertron.
