[@DoomBlazer]

Megatron named himself after Megatronus Prime aka The Fallen btw

[@redalert923]

I think the fallen should appear again, as much I like megatron and unicron, I feel like there always the main focus, fallen is an underrated and a broken character because of misunderstanding from Leige maximo and accidentally killed his love Solus prime

[@shardsoftime0952]

@Doomblazer is transformers one the canon origin for the other movies?

[@camrendavis6650]

He was a mining bot before he became a gladiator. D16 was like his model number.

[@creeper4481]

Not to mention the corrupted system in Cybertron Because Orion Pax was given a name, whereas D-16 was mearly a serial number of his protoform model

[@camrendavis6650]

@@creeper4481 although I'm excited to see this, as I am for anything Transformers related, I worry that the story won't be properly represented

[@BlueGamez3000]

Does it take place before the bumblebee movie

[@camrendavis6650]

@@BlueGamez3000 this movie is looking to be a part of the Aligned Continuity. So it probably will have no relation to the live action films

[@GWMAe2.0]

D-16 D = Deceptacon 16 = his age? Idk

[@natecheng]

I think it's his original Japanese toy name

[@x-modulator4067]

It comes from the number given to his original 1984 toy in Japan. The D is for Destron, the Japanese name for the Decepticons. The 16 was just his number among the original batch of toys. It’s a deep cut detail but it’s been referenced here and there. Hope that helps!

[@natecheng]

@@x-modulator4067 ohh ok thxs

[@anonluxor470]

His D size 🤣 Ok I'm leaving

[@MkeCybertronGreatAgain]

If you read D-16 thinking the numbers are letters it can be read as DIG and this make sense because he was an energon miner

[@agent_bumblebee]

Fun Fact: In most continuities he is also a Miner

I only watched the movies Now I know why Megatron says "we were brothers once"

[@Untitledloki]

"Once!" - Prime

[@Tarn_It21]

A lot of IDW elements in this Transformers movie like D-16, Optimus Prime's design especially the legs and also the cultures and vibes on Cybertron. So hype for this one!

[@milkiassamuel780]

I think them showing Orion and D-16 as real friends could really make their eventual rivalry all the more sadder. Im really interested to hear what Brian Tee Henry will do in the role and what he could bring to both a young D-16 and a ruthless Megatron in the future planned sequels. Hopefully they really do a good job fleshing him out and tackle more mature darker themes despite the tone of the trailer, similar to how Transformers: Animated (2007) had a more kid friendly art style but still tackled deep and mature topics like PTSD, military corruption and showed brutal deaths

[@sophiahildebrand]

Wait, hold on. THERE'S PLANNED SEQUELS?!

[@crazyfries987]

They should do a trilogy like a reverse Thor and Loki thing where they start trusting each other less each movie

[@Ninjago-News]

He was also a miner before becoming a gladiator

[@EdricChang]

Bro it’s gonna be so sad seeing him and Optimus break up in Transformers One (or one of its sequels)

[@Oceancyberx]

Well it. Happens bro

[@cheekyscrub9102]

It will be funny if the first two acts of the movie are fun and then there’s just a tone shift to Megatron committing war crimes

[@rksuu]

fr id be so down if it takes a complete 180 when he betrays orion

[@montogomery478]

I fricking love his origin as a gladiator! Him posing like that was just awesome!

[@jamestolbert1856]

I love it when villains get a backstory and explain why their evil but still have them be villains

[@featherguardian6023]

He’s basically Magneto with a Different Darker Grey Paint

[@malindabandara3788]

I think the Cybertron trilogy had the best relationship between Optimus and Megatron. It really got into detail about their past

[@IcyRook]

I Also Like that Side of transformers Cybertron Trilogy Is Overhated a Bit To Much

[@EmperorDxD]

They call him d16 in the movie because that was serial number of his original toys

[@KingPrintmaker]

Depending on the continuity megatron used to be a super soaker.

[@MrFazbear87]

That’s Optimus brother Megatron

[@vanshdhole1892]

"We were brothers once" now i get why Megatron said that in the last knight movie

[@Minetic]

Man when the a moment happens in the movie it’s gonna be like Rameses and Moses turning against each other in the Prince of Egypt: heartbreaking

[@user-iw3mb5dc4k]

Megatronus is kinda cold

[@willum214]

Transformers Prime definitely had one of the best designs for Megatron

[@csab8642]

I'd say that show had great designs for most of the cast. Like elements of G1, with modern day updates

[@CrimsonJulz]

Transformers prime designs were pretty much bayverse design but more cohesive and simplified

[@csab8642]

@@CrimsonJulz I'll admit to some Bayverse inspiration, put still say more G1 as the prime design

[@ssj4seth756]

Animated Megatron mixed G1 with the Helicopter, Making a flyer like in live action.

[@arterika2360]

What's the show's name? I know that's a transformer show but I'd like to watch it, and where can I find it?

[@nicktroisi6347]

I just realised how much Optimus and Megatron resemble Professor X and Magneto

[@thenecessaryevil2634]

We also see what appears to be a quintisson enforcer (green guy with tentacles) so this is likely set during the rebellion against them.

[@AardonyxYT]

Ngl, it’s kinda like the fallout of Splinter and the shredder they were best friends turned to mortal enemies

[@TheSameGoobyGuy]

D-16? More like… DEEZ NU-

[@Marveldynastie]

I have one thing to say Megatron in transformers prime has the best design and vilain ever

[@mikeyn07]

The TF lore is next level

[@valiant3917]

He takes the name Megatron as a shorted version of his Idol Megatronus Prime. Who was one of the first 13 original primes. He was an evil servant of the dark lord Unicorn. Megatron sees him as a sort of misunderstood hero.

[@Auvas_Damask]

Practically the badge of the working class becomes the sign of the Decepticons

[@Raidsage]

Fun fact megatron is like millions of years old

[@stonerrick6729]

He was basically a slave became a gladiator became cybertron Spartacus then him and his best friend/brother Optimus clashed because Megatron turned tyrant with hatred

[@Captainrex75222]

I hope he gets the tfp origin cause I would love to see a dark corrupted cybertron and gladiator fights

[@shad0wstreet]

“He rose to power due to his Charisma, ambition, and his ruthlessness.” Sounds familiar????

[@ThatTFfan]

Death of D-16 and birth of Megatron is the most Anakin and Darth Vader thing

Megatron is honestly a great character. Especially in IDW

This is going to be such a good movie! Can’t wait and can’t believe the trailer premiered in space!

[@imyray1178]

B-16 with the transformer glow up!!😮‍💨

[@AriesX13Channel]

I have a feeling as light hearted this new animated movie is coming out to be. The end of it is going to be a sucker punch that the gut.

[@Deadev_edits]

Sick bro

[@randomgamer625]

Tbh the gladiator one is also fused with the miner one Basically the miners would hold fights for entertainment or be forced into it. Either way Megatron became the champion of these fights because he had a rare spark

[@SCURRYfromtheboys]

Imagine the D in D-16 stood for Deceptacon😂

[@Divyam1137]

Dude the animation style is so good its gonna look op in the cinemas

[@coolbrickz657]

I hope they don’t turn into Megatron yet, save it for the third movie, really take the time to show his fall.

[@CashVader]

When I heard you said "who's D-16?" I just said didn't the trailer literally say before he became Megatron... He was D-16 or something like that?

[@user-cr4lj2rs7c]

Another origin for Megatron is that he was a working class energon miner and got fed up with his lack of rights and started the decepticons

[@Trogon-vn3sf]

If you saw the Trailer, You can Tell that D-16 and Orion Pax have a Strong Brother like Bond. it's Gonna be Very sad if they show Optimus and Megatron Becoming Enemies.

[@scrap-godsuper-zo4740]

Hope they go with the second one gladiator and for Orion pax to be a information librarian

[@derppmau5329]

Orion Pax and D-16’s bulk is going to go crazyy

[@spv4711]

Actually most continuities it's D-16 then he just starts calling himself megatronus

[@pinkguycomments69]

The Megatronous story line is way more interesting for me

[@PoppedChicken101]

I love stories where a character has a downfall (I dunno if thats good or a bad)

[@lauragoodland6359]

I really hope he has like an Anakin to Darth Vader kind of thing. Just except for the burning and lava and turning into a cyborg You probably get what I mean

[@luckyexplorer1053]

Megatronus is the name of one of the old 13 Primes who betrayed the 13 Primes. Megatron named him self after him.

[@TrnazizzT]

Bro uploads faster than me 😂

[@theoceanbuilderproduction8819]

I had an idea D-16 should have megatronus have a revolutionary and gladiator personality Bumblebee should've been more kid like, a young teenage, not what we seen now Alita one, i think she ok not sure she be name ariel? And orion... maybe some work like more book worm, slightly scare but have heart of gold and courageously

[@thunderlion6909]

Actually orion was a dock worker in G1 him being a clerk is modern lore which i think there trying to combine the two to make the story

[@dan_noo]

why that specific Megatron image looks like he's not gonna sugar coated it

[@fredrickdinglesonIII]

The logo on his arm looks more like the face he touched in the cave more than the decepticon logo itself. It’s just a theory

[@LKS69]

Thee letters ya'll IDW

[@davie405]

bro just gave us the tfp megatron lore

[@nuggetslayer75]

Finally someone who knows cannon lore.

[@andrelong1410]

[@brainstorm9560]

in the live-action film continuity his og designation was C-81.

[@daryelmejia9385]

It's megatronus!

[@Eli-as12]

Although I do want more to add to this story, I feel like they'd tackle 2 storylines instead of 1 per movie. One storyline would be the end of the quintesson's rule in cybertron. And the other storyline would be the divide between Orion and Megatron, where Megatron, after all of the hardships he's gone through under the quintessons, would end up wanting to not just end their rule but also end them as a whole, with Orion going against that idea leading to a fight between the 2. This fight would then end with neither Orion and Megatron winning but an interference by a quintesson leading to both having to take down the quintesson leading to a destruction of a certain place where Orion rises from the smoke to Bee and Elita 1 while Megatron leaves them thinking that Orion betrayed their bond.

[@orlandoparaskeva9398]

[@benelveloz]

D-16 and megatron's are both mames that were born on the same continuity the alligned continuity that goes from wfc foc prime rid and rescue bots plus some cómics and books

[@gabrielgard7194]

To be fair he did name himself megatronus later on so he might do that in the film.

[@Extremechannel123]

Cant wait for this movie 🍿🎥

[@TheGreyTurtleEntertainment]

16 is the model number of the the Destron unit that Megatron was in the original line of toys that became the Transformers in the west- so technically D16 was Megatrons original name and this is generally considered a tribute to that.

[@user-rp2kw4hj1e]

So basically Megatron is Cybertron's Adolf Hitler

"I am the Dominator! I am the Destroyer. I am Megatron" (Megatron, war for cybertron and fall of cybertron)

Hey don't forget that Megatron also used to be a mining bot

[@SOHAM_141]

Orion Pax . Op = Optimus Prime D -16 = DECEPTICON = Hence Megatron .

[@SirKnight-tx3bt]

Megatron has a Chiseled chin in here

[@juanmaa350]

D-16 as a miner, then took Megatronus as a gladiator in honor to the prime, and shortened it to Megatron as politician, becoming the leader of the decepticons The transformers' origins are so interesting the whole franchise could rely on telling them here and there, different in every continuity, just to follow to the war with Quintessons, golden age and civil war, and they didn't even get to earth yet... After the classic known history there is still unicron, galvatron, etc It is a story so dense I find it amazing how most adaptations focused on the least incredible part, the robots in disguise on earth while fighting each other stuff

[@gamalielmarquez9088]

It's just a tragic scene to see that both Orion and D-16 both just wanted a fair and just Cybertron, only to be torn apart by the method of executing said dream; one with conflict and the other through peaceful means

[@davidsentosa779]

Optimus: YOU WERE MY BROTHER MEGATRON!! Megatron: I HATE YOU!!!

[@Kafka.H.A]

i hope in the transformer one movie will show us how D-16 become megatron and i hope the fallen to appear to

[@jarektheone]

It’s gonna be sad seeing d-16 become evil

[@user-ji7vk5sw9r]

Im pretty sure it will be a self-discovery type thing because he has the logo, he will see the logo around the planet, and, i dont know when, but there's a 1 second clip of starscream walking away from a throne with Soundwave and Shockwave by his side. Maybe starscream is the current decepticon leader and D-16 will dethrone him?

[@swastikdabral8707]

He was named after megatronous prime his favourite of the 13 primes (the fallen)during his gladiator days

[@SeahamV2]

In 2024 Megatron is RC.

[@RomanTheFilmLoverrr]

The decepticon logo wasn’t originally meant for the decepticons, in some continuities megatron already has it because he is a descendent of megatronus who was one of the original primes, who was killed for going against the primes, that’s likely the dead body he is looking at and realizing he has similarities to, so when megatron becomes the one to create the decepticon factions, he changes his name to megatron to honor megatronus and also brands others with this logo which he is now using as the logo to represent both the decepticon cause and his honor for megatronus

[@kingboo7613]

Imagine the logo was a team logo before it was his official logo

[@K-11609]

D-16 is more of an IDW thing, which the Aligned continuity (what was described in the short) took influence from and implemented certain elements to its story. In IDW comics, D-16 would become Megatron due to having no freedom to choose for himself and was given the task of a miner all his life due to his social class. He takes on the name Megatron after participating in gladiator fights and influences a lot of other Cybertronians affected by the system, including a beat cop by the name of Orion Pax.

[@RichardLiquidPepstein]

Cant wait for the next short of you explaining the origin of your nose

[@Devastator21]

D-16 was his designated name when he became a gladiator he said his name was megatronus named after Megatronus Prime the fallen and when he went to politics he shortened his name to Megatron
