Since being forged from the allspark, I was told who I was and what I did.

I was D-16, a miner.

I never liked the name given to me.

I was a part of the working caste, me and my friend.

Of course he gained a new name during the job; he took on the name Impactor.

I liked the Idea, being able to choose for myself astounded me.

From my friend from the Iacon archives, I learned to write.

I composed many great works.

Each work of literature, I strived to teach those to aspire for themselves, to choose for themselves.

It was after I got Orion to publish my work that I was thrown in jail.

Beaten for no crime.

There for speaking out against the senate.

I was released later, but my anger towards the corrupt senate burned.

I saw that peace was no option when they could simply silence me.

The second time I was arrested, I was taken to Kaon.

There, we were pitted against one another in gladiatorial fights.

My first fight was against another bot, I never knew his name.

He was a seasoned gladiator; he carved in markings for every one of his kills.

It was that fight, that moment, where I took a life.

As I stood above his lifeless body, I was stunned.

I hated myself for what I did, but the crowd loved it.

It was that fight, that very fight, where I learned that I was an individual.

That I mattered.

That I was worth living.

With each fight, I continued to kill.

Getting better with each new fight.

Being able to calculate every move my opponents made.

I soon found myself a champion among criminals.

Later I met a mute bot, his name was Soundwave.

He'd been imprisoned by the senate, just like me.

I came to understand that he'd overheard some incriminating information during his employment under them.

With my following in the pit, I swayed the crowed with my views of a caste free Cybertron.

Soon I became a revolutionary.

I saw my methods to be just.

I strode into the Grand Imperium and demanded equality to my people.

They refused.

They then attempted to have me killed through various assassination attempts.

All failed.

Soon the first shots were made by the senate ruled Autobots.

We retaliated.

We struck without fear, without mercy.

And in one swift strike, all but three senators fell by Air Commander Starscream's hand.

The Air Commander had earned my gratitude that day, I made him my second in command for his loyalty.

As I sat atop the lifeless shells of the deceased senators.

I thought to myself.

If I was to represent freedom to choose.

Then I wanted to choose my name.

Megatronus.

After one of the original thirteen.

I lost friends, both Orion Pax and Impactor.

I gained a following under the name 'Decepticons'.

I gained Starscream's support and Soundwave's skills.

And after I killed Guardian Prime.

My loyal Decepticons chanted my name.

And just like how I could change my form.

So did my name.

No longer was I Megatronus.

Now, now I was something more.

I am Megatron.
