[i]"I once told Optimus I killed for the sake of killing. I wanted to make him hurt me, you see—because when he hurts others, he hurts himself. And the thing is, when the words were in my head I didn't think I meant them; but when they left my mouth, I realized that I did. If the world thinks you're a monster, what does it matter? The world is wrong. But when you start to think of yourself as a monster... I came to hate the person I'd become. And I decided that the best way to leave that person behind—perhaps the easiest way—was to become an Autobot."[/i]

This tag may be used for whenever Megatron is depicted [b]after the events of "Dark Cybertron":[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dark_Cybertron_(IDW)][/b], where in the final confrontation with Shockwave, Megatron swears his allegiance to the Autobots, inspired by the words [spoiler]and death[/spoiler] of [[Bumblebee (transformers)|]]. He now is one of two Co-captains of the Lost Light, alongside [[Rodimus]], still seeking atonement of his heinous misdeeds and countless lives claimed by his hand.
