As the Machine Wars began, his army cut a path through space, conquering Cybertronian outposts and colonies along the way. Megaplex proved a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Megaplex's Tech Specs profile When Megaplex first emerged from the cloning process, Jhiaxus found that the duplicate's persona did not fit his agenda, and so attempted to bury the “Megatron” within Megaplex with a more manageable personality. Jhiaxus's final efforts created a divergent copy of Megatron, called Megaplex. Working in his laboratory, Jhiaxus attempted to create a balanced clone general, possessing all of Megatron's valued aggression, cunning, and battlefield skill, but limiting the ego and bloodthirstiness that led him down the Decepticon path. Reluctantly, Jhiaxus realized his army would be most efficient if it were commanded by the greatest conqueror of all time: Megatron. To achieve this goal, he created an army of clones governed by clone generals of some of the most effective warriors in Cybertronian history.

Slugslinger's Ambition Wings Universeĭetermined to ensure a peaceful Cybertron by any means necessary, Jhiaxus concluded that the old Cybertronian race needed to be wiped out in order to make way for a new, peaceful second generation. When the Jumpstarters were fooled and blasted Megaplex, Megatron seized the opportunity and sicced Sunstorm on the Autobots. For artillery he prefers liquid helium "Freeze Shells".ĭuring the battle for the Transform Super Cog in the late 1980s, Megatron used Megaplex as a decoy on the battlefield. Megaplex prefers close-quarters combat, tearing into his opponents with his electron sword and energy flail. The deception is likely to work best on the battlefield, from a distance, or when Megaplex is following a strict script set by the original. Thus, though Megaplex is easily able to pass as Megatron for short periods of time, his intelligence, strength, firepower, and skill are capped at levels significantly below those of the real Megatron. Realizing that a being based so closely on his own nature and with equal power would be quite likely to make a play to permanently replace him, Megatron thus had his clones constructed with a failsafe device that significantly restricts their abilities. While Megaplex is ideally endowed with the same power as the original Megatron, the Decepticons' true leader is no fool. He has led many battles in Megatron's stead. He exists to foment confusion in the Autobot ranks and protect against traitors among the Decepticons.

Megaplex is one of a series of specially constructed clones of Megatron. I hear the new Cybertron Megaplex has over 30 screens!
