Transformers: Robots in Disguise
Mega-Octane is the cool, calculating leader of the Combiners. He is cruel and unfair, and uses his four subordinates as if they were his own limbs - he expects them to carry out his orders without question, and he has no tolerance with delays or mistakes. He is somewhat envious of Scourge, who snatched leadership of the Commandos directly from him. In missile trailer mode, Mega-Octane can launch missiles with a range of 65 miles. In robot mode, he carries a laser rifle. He can also transform into a combat station and perform maintenance on his teammates. He forms the torso and head of Ruination.[1]
Animated series
Mega-Octane's first appearance in the TV series was in episode #14 The Decepticons. As with his fellow Decepticons, Mega-Octane was created when Megatron found six Autobot protoforms and used his own energy to corrupt them.
3H Enterprises
His only appearance in the official storyline of Transformers: Universe was as a member of the Ruination combiner team in the 2004 BotCon voice actor play, where he was commanded by Reptilion.
