Kabam have delivered their September update to Transformers: Forged to Fight players, and we have a very nice addition to the ranks: Megatronus.
Megatronus will be available to be added into your ranks of playable characters this October 4th at 10 AM PDT. Megatronus is coming in a design based on what we saw in Machinima’s Prime Wars web series. Pleased? There’s more! If you were curious about Megatronus alt mode, we have our first look at his Cybertronian destroyer jet. He looks awesome!
The full Bot Intel Report can be found here at the official Forged To Fight website. You can also read on for the full profile and stats after the jump and then join to the discussion at the 2005 Boards!
BOT INTEL REPORT – MEGATRONUS
Add Megatronus to your ultimate squad in October 4th at 10AM PDT!
ABOUT MEGATRONUS:
Faction: Decepticon
Class: Demolitions
One of the Thirteen Primes created by Primus himself to defeat Unicron, Megatronus is a being of unparalleled strength. His quest for greater power led him to betray his fellow Primes, resulting in a millennia of banishment. That banishment has ended, and his presence again looms large through the cosmos.

BASIC ABILITIES: RELIC OF FURY, RELIC OF PRESERVATION, POWER STEAL, LIFE STEAL
Passive
- Now in the possession of powerful Relics, Megatronus does not generate power as normal, he instead passively generates 1.2% of Max Power every second.
- Megatronus begins the fight with the Relic of Fury active, each time he gains a Bar of Power he alternates between the Relic of Fury and the Relic of Preservation.
Relic of Fury
- The Relic of Fury grants 30~50% Attack Rating and reduces the opponent’s Block Proficiency by 20%.
Relic of Preservation
- The Relic of Preservation grants 40~50% Damage Resistance and limits the amount of damage Megatronus can receive in a single blow to 20% of his max Health.
Relic of Immortality
- Once per fight, when Megatronus hits 10% health he activates the Matrix of Immortality in addition to his other Relics for 10 seconds. While the Relic is active Megatronus is Indestructible and immune to all damage. This ability will not activate if Megatronus begins the fight with 10% Health or less.
Last Hit of a Light or Medium Combo
- +40% Critical Chance.
Heavy Attack
- 100% chance to apply Dark Burn, dealing 40% of Attack as instant Energy Damage.
SIGNATURE ABILITY – RELIC OF OBEDIENCE
The Relic of Obedience weakens enemy abilities and may completely prevent them from activating.
When Filling a Power Bar
- When Megatronus gains a Bar of Power, he has a 15~65% chance to activate the Relic of Obedience, preventing opponents from activating Buffs or Debuffs for 8 seconds. Additionally, when the Relic is not active, Buffs and Debuffs the opponent activates are 20% weaker.

- All Decepticons on your team gain +2~5% Armor while fighting Decepticons and +5~20% Power Rate while fighting Autobots.
STRONG MATCH-UPS:
- Everyone – There is no bot that Megatronus cannot overpower.
- Megatron – Megatron will find his namesake needs no buffs to be formidable.
- Optimus Prime – If Optimus is relying on help from his Chief Medical Officer, the Relic of Obedience will put a stop to that notion.
WEAK MATCH-UPS:
- No One – No one stands as a serious challenger to him that is the embodiment of power.
- Rhinox – Rhinox’s Power Lock will keep this mighty Decepticon from switching modes.
- Shockwave – Repair Block and Power Drain will help keep this Prime from tapping into his true power.
RECOMMENDED MODULES FOR MEGATRONUS:
- Robot Resource – One cannot even fathom the carnage Megatronus could inflict with a second source of power.
- Prime Module – The Prime Module will help this mad god stay in the fight longer and increase his stats to match any higher level contender.
MrNiceGuy
You've got a point.
ultramagnus1
As a side note I hope we see megatronus in the new continuity and he's based off his rotf design….
DrOblivian
but the ROTF one is still the same character so…
that's like naming an Optimus Prime something other than Optimus Prime so they wont confuse different versions of Optimus Prime…
Fallout
megatronus is the goddamn stupidest name. completely ruins the concept of both megatron and of the fallen.
turns out hitler named himself after the first nazi that lived in 900 bc, hitlerus! crazy, right?
Sammael
I absolutely detest the name Megatronus.
Sovietbot
Death Star + Galactus + The Japanese giant mecha / robots + Satan + Khorne = UNICRON!!!!!!!!!
maxxzander
i thought that's suppose to be unicron??
maxxzander
this looks like that awful machinima version of megatronus…. but i dont remember ever seeing him transform into alt mode in that show….
Deadend
Not no reason. More story content likely later, and also to avoid naming confusion fully with the ROTF one.
Sovietbot
He is an cybertronian Thanos.
DrOblivian
the moment he killed Solus he became The Fallen, it was established with the new lore with the whole aligned bullshit. they just refuse to call him that for some reason… especially when it was supposed to be his true name that was the "thing not to be spoken of" yet it seems to have been flipped for no reason.
Deadend
Or maybe there's a reason for that…
Why right now it's referred to as banishment, and his true "Fallen" nature has yet to give rise.
DrOblivian
Ok everyone say it with me now. I know its been a long time but we still know it.
THE FALLEN
Sure. His name is Megatronus now. Ive accepted that. But i hate that its almost made his true moniker nearly obsolete…
LasagnaSmuggler
Kinda disappointed with his SP3, wish he could summon flames or something
Blitz.
that alt mode really reminds me of Prime Megatron with the whole chest plate splitting open and becoming wings on the front. Makes me wonder if we'll see a heavy remould in the future

They should've went with the walking furnace of destruction instead. Original Fallen will always be best Fallen.
SG Roadbuster
anyone else getting a Thunderwing vibe from the alt mode? it looks damn near like the Garatron Thunderstorm toy.

RID The Fallen/Megatronus.
Titanium The Fallen too.
Up until this version, nearly all of his interpretations have gotten a transformable toy.
That's the Unicron tainted version. Where he became the fallen by siding with Unicron and gained a massive power boost from it.
This is Aligned Megatronus/The Fallen. The one that hadn't sided with Unicron. Different stories and design goals.
Though walking incinerator Fallen should likely make a come back as something else new as a Unicron Herald. This Megatronus/The Fallen is before the reformat/power up by Unicron.
Think of it like he's missing the Nemesis Matrix. Like how Megatron became Galvatron. If the RID one is any indication, they'll likely find a way to merge that aspect in more still yet to come as the character evolves and has story growth. So to do one like that, they need to do his before first.
Because if he's ever full destroyed or incapacitated, you know that Unicron would rebuild him as a new servant for his own comeuppance over his defeat in ages long ago. Based on the intel report, that seems to foreshadow that too. The last line in particular. So we may see another version added much later.
And incinerator the Fallen was mocked by fans pretty badly before it became known as a "cool design". Both as a concept and as a design before after many years it was finally accepted.
