Eric Hadden on Instagram: "Repost from @hilaritypeak D-16 is Megatron’s original designation in Transformers lore—most notably used in Transformers One (2024). In that story: • D-16 is his factory/worker ID on Cybertron before he becomes Megatron. • He starts as a lower-class Cybertronian, not a warlord. • As he becomes aware of Cybertron’s caste system and corruption, D-16 evolves into Megatron, adopting the name as a symbol of rebellion and power."
