Before allegiance, rank and function - before war - a civilian will become a warrior, and warrior will become a leader. As a leader he will learn of the most powerful weapon on the planet - a weapon powerful enough to bind legions to his will - a faction named Decepticon. This landmark collection brings the would-be major players of that faction together for the first time in a seminal story for Megatron, the Decepticons and the Great War; also includes a cover gallery by artist Alex Milne and variant cover artist Marcelo Matere.

What War Witihn should've been.,
By
This review is from: Transformers: Megatron Origin (Transformers (Idw)) (Paperback)
How did megatron become the megalomaniac conquerer that we know and love? Well, here it is at long last! Now you can see how a lowly energon miner with a strong distaste for politicians becomes a natural killer, and the leader of a powerful new army. It shows how he meets the core Decepticon contingent, and goes on to challenge and defeat the impressive Sentinal Prime, who is finally shown to us in full form.The only problem with the book, like some other reviewers have mentioned is the art. While it looks great, the colors are so dar that it is very difficult to tell what is going on sometimes. What should've been displayed in large splash pages are reduced to small panels, forcing you to look for a good while to tell what's going on. A second read-through is plenty enough to make sure you catch the action, but you shouldn't need to do that. Otherwise, this is a great comic! A must read for fans!

Megatron-"Origins" a must have for G-1 fans,
By
This review is from: Transformers: Megatron Origin (Transformers (Idw)) (Paperback)
I thought this was a great comic with wonderful art work, it's a bit hard to follow at times, only because it's so fast paced, and there is a large amount of story to be told in a short amount of time. Keep in mind this is the story of where "Megatron" came from, and how he single-handedly was responsible for the rise of the "Decepticon" faction on "Cybertron". It's a tale of how one Robot choose to stand up against the system, and ultimately became a force of nature. I think this is also a great prequel to the "War-Within" comics, because we actually get to see the fate of "Sentinel-Prime" who is mentioned in the first page's of the afore mentioned "War-Within". In closing I believe this is a must have for all Hard-core Transformers fans who want to know the true story behind the rise of the great war!!!!

Die Autobots....,
By
This review is from: Transformers: Megatron Origin (Transformers (Idw)) (Paperback)
This Origin of Megatron is an interesting read. The artwork is nice and the story is intriguing. The story is similar to the movie Gladiator with Russel Crow in that Megatron is a wanted criminal warrior fighting in the pits. He then unites all the fighters together to take on the autobots and lead a revolution to make changes and brands his troops the decepticons. The story shows you how each of his loyal servants came about and how they met.The story is great, but could use some tweaking. You will find gaps in the story and you will be wondering it if this is days later, or what not. The artwork sometimes is murky and you cannot make out if they are fighting or just sticking their arms out in certain panels. Slightly confusing. If you love Transfortmers history, and want to expand your knowledge of the characters written by IDW publishing, this is a must have book.
