Galvatron
Megatron reborn: in the 1986 film Unicron rebuilds him as his servant. Stronger — and far less stable.
Where he comes from
Megatron reborn. In the 1986 film Unicron rebuilds the dying Megatron as his servant; in Age of Extinction he is a KSI corporation artificial Transformer carrying Megatron's mind.
Story
Galvatron is stronger than Megatron but far less stable. Unicron gives him a new body and a new army on one condition: destroy the Matrix of Leadership. Galvatron agrees, but dreams of getting rid of his master too.
In the third season of the classic cartoon his instability turns into outright madness, making him even more dangerous. In the 2014 film humans build him themselves, not knowing whose spark they are reviving.

Fan prequel: «A Voice in the Dark»
An original story by this site. Not part of the official canon.
Megatron remembered Starscream throwing him, damaged, into open space. He remembered the cold and the silence. Then a voice spoke in the silence — vast as emptiness itself.
"I will give you a body," it said. "An army. Power you have never had. The price is one favour." Megatron was used to bargaining, but there was no one here to bargain with.
When he opened his eyes he had a different name, and the same voice echoed in his head — now forever. Galvatron decided he would one day make it fall silent. He didn't yet know that from that day on his loudest enemy would be the silence in his own head, which would never come again.
