Editing Megatron (section)

===Books===
Megatron appears in the prequel novel ''[[Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday]]'', where it is revealed that reverse-engineering of his body has produced a spacecraft called ''Ghost-1''. The spacecraft is sent into space in 1969, where the humans on board encounter Megatron (here referred to throughout as the "ice man"), who is briefly reanimated in the middle of a battle between the Americans and the [[Soviet]]s. However, he is placed in cryo-stasis once again.

The children's book ''Transformers – Meet The Decepticons'', by [[Jennifer Frantz]], has a slightly different ending than the movie. This book has all six Decepticons leaving Earth together after being defeated by the Autobots, instead of having most of their numbers die.

The novelization for ''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' ends with Megatron laying down his weapons and calling for a truce in earnest. Optimus Prime spares him and the Decepticons leave Earth to rebuild Cybertron.

In the novel, comic, and [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (video game)|video game]] adaptations of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', the slightly different ending gives more depth to Megatron's relationship with the Fallen. The Fallen prepares for the final battle with Optimus Prime, it is revealed that the Fallen's promises of power to his apprentice were lies. Out of anger, Megatron betrays the Fallen and allows Optimus to kill him for good. He then flies back aboard the ''Nemesis'' to take command of the remaining Decepticon army.
In the novel version of ''Dark of the Moon'', Optimus and Megatron work together and defeat Sentinel Prime. Though a fight was teased, Megatron reveals to Optimus he is tired of fighting and is suing for peace. He declares he will work to restore Cybertron to its previous glory and will send for the Autobots, so that they may rebuild their planet, as brothers.
