One of the most-feared robots in the world of Transformers is Megatron, a gigantic and powerful Transformer who plays the role of the comic book’s main antagonist and the de facto leader of the Decepticons. His main mission is to destroy Optimus Prime and to claim the powerful Autobot Matrix of Leadership for himself but the Autobots’ determination to protect the talisman and its bearer at all cost has hindered Megatron from realizing his dream.

Despite being a “bad guy” in the comic book and movie series, Megatron has always been a favorite comic book character named by fans of the Transformers comics series and movies alike. Although an anatagonist, he does have some amazing transformations– six of them! In the comic book series, it is explained that he can be a bat, a race car, a claw, a dragon, a gargoyle, and most commonly, a laser gun. In the 2007 movie version; however, he takes on the form of a Cybetronian tank since his other forms were deemed unnecessary in the movie.

To capture the right Megatron look, you will need his helmet most of all since it is the most recognizable piece in the entire costume. When selecting a helmet, make sure it is made of non-toxic material to protect yourself from inhalation of harmful chemicals used in making the helmet. You also need to look for the body armor worn by Megatron, or in this case, a jumpsuit resembling the outer appearance of Megatron’s Cybetronian Tank form.
