Hasbro surely looks into psychological studies for kids when it comes to toy development.

He reformed after the war in IDW1, gave up being evil at the end of the epilogue of Prime, and agreed to a peaceful ceasefire in Cyberverse season 3.First-Aid wrote:Black Bumblebee wrote:According to the brief description on the new toys on hasbropulse.com, Megatron is described as the redeemed leader of the Decepticons.

If they can play out the inner conflict of being a Decepticon for millions of years and finally making the decision to stop conquering well, I'll be happy. This could ALMOST be a sequel to Prime where Megatron changed and left the 'Cons after Unicron subjugated him...

He may be affiliated with them in some way though, judging by the responses of the characters.
