The Transformers: Megatron Origin Comic Dub

The Transformers: Megatron Origin Comic Dub

Project Overview

The iconic four-issue mini-series of IDW's Transformer universe published in 2007, Megatron Origin, is now being fan-dubbed.

Starscream

Starscream's unbridled desire attracted him into the embryonic Decepticon organization, propelling him through the ranks as Cybertron crumbled into perpetual battle. Despite being a clever, talented leader in his own right, Starscream struggled to distinguish himself from Megatron's shadow -a partnership that ended with Megatron reminding Starscream of his place after multiple failed coups and bungled forays at leadership.

Soundwave

Soundwave is one of Megatron's most dependable troops, and he has secured a comfortable and irreplaceable position in the Decepticon high command hierarchy. Despite being Megatron's "only" Communications Officer, Soundwave serves as a confidant, comparable in rank to Starscream and Shockwave but, unlike them, completely dedicated to his commander. Though stern and lacking in outward personality (as indicated by his monotone computer-style speech), Soundwave is not without motivation: he has worked hard to be where he is, and he fiercely defends his position in the Decepticon hierarchy.

Blades is a filthy, underhanded street brawler at heart, and he takes pride in it. The idea that his alternate mode and function as air support can keep him away from combat irritates him. Blades prefers to use his rotors to eviscerate a Decepticon from antenna to exhaust than to fly. When he battles, he wants to feel his opponents' gasoline splatter against his steel skin. Blades does his job well, but if there's an opportunity to get his hands dirty, you can bet your processor he'll find it.
