1. Megatron always has that crest from Megatron: Origins in my stories. It functions as another sensor array and is usually muted and covered to keep it from being exploited as a weakness.
2. Megatron speaks two distinct versions of Cybertronian - the "general" language most of the population speaks (he has a middle-lower upper class accent) and the harsher, curse-laden dialect of the mines and arenas.
3. He's an avid reader. He has read major works from every culture the Decepticons have ever come in contact with, including Earth's.
4. He really doesn't want to win the war, because doing so will destroy his greatest challenge - Optimus Prime.
5. Megatron remembers and regrets killing Orion Pax. He thought Orion had potential to be something more than a dock worker.
*nods* Depending on the story, sometimes he does find out about Orion's fate.
Thanks. I think it makes sense, given some of the material he quoted in G1 and some of the other universes. He doesn't have the same cultural background as we humans, therefore he must have actually read the materials in order to make the reference.
(Also, understanding what a culture produces is a good way to understand the culture.)
