In general, Goku is viewed by the ones who know him deeply as a man who's power knows no bounds, yet with a soul pure as crystal.^[1] Who's morality and mentality seems to make even the most harden of opponents become his allie.^[2] As nearly all his friends were original his enemies. Despite the severity of the danger at hand, he always manages to make others feel that he would take care of everything.^[3] Yet Goku's enthusiasm can be seen a competitive light often flying off to do battle without a second thought, which as pointed out, has been attributed his innate Saiyan tendencies.^[4] He is know for great compassion to the point not striking defenseless opponents and showing his enemies mercy by allowing them to live at the end of a fight. As seen in chapter 241 when he pleads for Krillin to spare Vegeta,^[5] and when he tries twice to walk away from his climatic battle with Frieza.^[6] Goku has claimed on at least one occasion that his reason for this is to give him a future fight, allowing him an excuse to train harder.^[7] The only villain that he officially killed within the manga is Majin Buu, but even at the moment of his demise Goku asks Buu to come back to life "as a good person" for a friendly rematch.^[8]

During his infancy, as seen in a flashback in the second Dragon Ball Z episode, Goku was original wild and unruly. Presenting a handful for his segregate grandfather Gohan. After his concussion from the fall into the ravine, Goku would become a "good boy".^[9] As a child Goku was very naïve, due to his secluded upbring in the forest of Mt. Paozu. Which was to the point that he could only differentiate genders by patting a person's genitals^[10] and viewed technological advances as forms of sorcery. Which can be seen in the first chapter where he mistook Bulma's car for a larger monster, in second chapter he presumes that she is a witch after she activates her house capsule,^[11] and interpreting marriage as a type of food.^[12] As an adult Goku becomes more worldly but still maintains some degree of innocence of the world around him. Despite the fact that he is a husband and a father he doesn't display the traits of a responsible adult. Often shirking his responsibilities for training and exploring which puts him at odds with Chi Chi who has complained on at least one occasion about his unemployment and his influence on their eldest son Gohan. In chapter 196 Goku points out that the two have had disagreements over Gohan up bringing.^[13]

Upon learning of his heritage and its notorious history he would at first reject his roots, but over time he would come accept it. Resulting in him proudly referring to himself as an "Earth raised Saiyan".

Although he may come off as completely fearless to his enemies, he is not without fear entirely, at times throughtout the franchise Goku is shown to suffer from an extreme case of Trypanophobia. To a point of trying to runaway at the sight of syringes, much to the embarrassment of his family and friends.^[14] This was exploited against him in Suguro-space when he is receives a challenge not to cry, and resulting in a giant aspersion to appear in the form of Chi Chi in a nurse's uniform and threaten him with an equally large syringe.^[15]

Another characteristic of Goku's is voracious appetite. Though most full blooded Saiyans are shown as hearty eaters, Goku's table manners are exaggerated in such a comedic manner. Ironically, Goku hunger originally played a key role in his fighting ability. In his first fight with Yamcha, Goku nearly lost to the desert bandit as his lack of food made him fatigued.^[16]

Allgame would give the game would receive a three out of five stars.^[4]

Robert Workman of GameDaily would call the quests lame, the mini-games ridiculously bad, and the game itself boring. Suggesting that players looking for a Dragon Ball Z game, buy an earlier title.^[5]

^[6]

IGN gave the game a 3.5, calling the gameplay repetitive and making the bold opinionated statement "Do not play Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World.".^[7] GamePro gave the game 2 out of 5, stating the game's story mode was too daunting and comparing the game's time rings to those from Superman 64. Yet it was still stated as satisfying as true "hardcore" fan of the show.^[8] Dakota Grabowski of GameZone gave the game a 6.1 stating that the game "couldn’t be anymore insipid even if it tried".^[9]

However, a few critics were more generous to the game. Gamer 2.0 gave the game a seven out of 10, stating that "For a PlayStation 2 game, Infinite World looks fine for the most part. It’s not going to be the best looking PS2 game you’ve ever seen, but it captures the DBZ style and looks okay." ^[10] René Giefing of GamerXP referred to the game as entertaining.^[11] William van Dijk Martín of MeriStation gave the game a six stating that it was a fair adaptation, but the Dragon Mission mode was not enough. Yet he would also state that it was a good game that had nothing to do with the third instalments of the Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi series.^[12] Frank van Aken of Gamer.nl would also give the game a six. Stating that there was an award to give the game, it would be for the storyline within the game. Yet he would express a dislike for the mini-games stating that they were so terrible, they took away most of the fun factor.^[13]

Megatron is a character from the Transformers, being the evil leader of the Decepticons and the primary antagonist of the series.

== Development ==

Megatron character design was based on the MC-12 Gun Robo in the Microman toyline original released in Japan in the late 1970s. The doll was designed to transform from a robot into a model of a Walther P38 handgun. In particular, Megatron was specifically based on a special edition of the MC-12, called the MC-13 Gun Robo — P38 U.N.C.L.E. This was in turn based on a customized Walther P38 handgun that featured prominently in The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,^[1] a popular American television spy series from the 1960s. He would be developed into his own character for the 1984 series. Like many of the first year tranformer characters, Megatron's initial character design draft was by Takara artist Shōhei Kohara who gave Megatron a more anamorphic appearance in comparison to Gun Robo toy, but was still reminiscent of the toy. This design was then modified with a more simplified appearance by series supervisor Floro Dery. Dery's Megatron design would serve as the final design for the cartoon and comic series.

Bob Budiansky, the writer for the Marvel Comics series stated in an interview that the name "Megatron" is a portmanteau derived from "Megaton" and "Electronic". Originally Hasbro took issue with the name, saying it sounded too dangerous, like an atomic bomb. Budiansky responded that as the lead villain, that was the whole point. Hasbro saw his reasoning, and approved the name.^[2]

Megatron's voice was provided by Frank Welker. According to Welker, he had never heard of the franchise when he was called for a casting interview. At the interview there were several design sheets for the characters with instructions to "take three". Welker took seven, with Megatron being one of the seven. Welker describers his portrayal of Megatron as trying to throw different elements together that could make the character sound unusual with enough pain to keep the character's evil quality while making sound drastically different that the other characters he was playing as.^[3]

== Personality ==

There have been several interpretations of his character; some see Megatron as a strategic leader who calls the shots from afar, whilst others see him as a tactical battlefield commander who leads by brutal example. Unlike many other villains in popular fiction, Megatron was not generally depicted as overly chaotic or insane. He was highly aggressive and a megalomaniac, but there was usually a consistent rationale behind his actions, albeit that Megatron was often the only one who could perceive this. There have been some sparing occasions where Megatron displays a personal sense of fair play and even honor, a complexity that is most evident in his complicated relationship with Optimus Prime. There is an unspoken mutual respect between the two leaders, born of each knowing the other better than anyone else. Megatron at times seems to derive enjoyment from the perpetual conflict that exists between them, the pleasure of ending the life of Optimus Prime will be Megatron's and Megatron's alone, and to ensure this, he has aided Prime in the face of greater threats. In instances such as these, the two have come to face the fact that were it not for their diametrically opposed ideology and views, in another life, the two could be comrades. A fact that Optimus Prime views as a tragedy, but which provides Megatron with amusement.

== Abillties ==

Originaly, Megatron was able to transforms into a Walther P38, delivering more focused energy blasts. He can shrink and reduce his mass as he transforms, assuming sizes that comfortably allow either another Transformer or even a human being to wield him. In the episode Dinobot S.O.S., he retained his full size and connected to the underside Starscream's jet-mode. He has a secondary weapon barrel mounted on his back, and can retract and replace his right hand with an energy flail. He can fire electrical blasts from his hands, laser blasts from his eyes on at least one occasion in The Autobot Run and can reprogram computers with a port in his forehead.

According to his original tech spec, Megatron has no known weaknesses. This does not, however, spare him from defeat at the hands of his enemies. For all his famed battle prowess and tactical ability, Megatron's complacent overconfidence often causes him to overlook some vital strategic detail. Also, he has a bad habit of ordering a retreat at the first sign that the tables have turned against his side in battle (even when the Decepticons still maintain the overall strategic advantage). Another factor that could contribute to his losses is his rough relationship with some of his own troops, most specifically Starscream. Despite his lust for galactic domination, one of Megatron's key priorities remains the safety and health of Cybertron; and from his viewpoint, the best way to accomplish that is for him to conquer it.

== History ==

Megatron is a Decepticon, one of the lineal descendants of the military hardware robots created by the Quintessons on their factory world of Cybertron. Following a war between the Decepticons and the other robot race, the Autobots, the Decepticons were defeated by the Autobots' invention of transformation. The Autobot victory began the Golden Age of Cybertron, but the Decepticons too eventually developed transformation, leading to the creation of Megatron. Gathering a small number of troops together, Megatron killed the Autobot leader. However, the ancient Autobot, Alpha Trion reconstructed young robot Orion Pax into Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots as the war erupted again in the episode War Dawn. The war drained Cybertron of most of its energy, necessitating that both factions seek out new worlds and new sources of power. Megatron and his forces attacked and boarded the Autobots' craft the Ark, causing it to crash on prehistoric Earth, entombing all on the ship in emergency stasis as it crashed into a dormant volcano. Over the following years, Megatron's schemes to obtain Earth's energies continued. Megatron even made a number of temporary alliances with the Autobots, although most of these alliances ended in double crosses.

Megatron conquered Cybertron by the Earth year 2005 in Transformers: The Movie. Megatron proceeded with an attack on Autobot City on Earth. Optimus Prime arrived there and confronted Megatron. Megatron mortally wounded Prime, but not before Prime delivered his own final blow to Megatron, fatally damaging him and forcing the Decepticons to flee. On the return trip to Cybertron, it became necessary to jettison excess mass. Wounded Decepticons were set adrift in space, including Megatron. The world-devourer Unicron offered him a new body and new troops in exchange for cooperation in destroying the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Thus, Megatron was reformatted as Galvatron, while the rest of the wounded Deceptions were also recycled into Galvatron's new warriors. Megatron would later appear in unchronicled flashbacks, during the season three episodes Five Faces of Darkness Part 4, and The Return of Optimus Prime Part 1.

== Personality ==

When he was first introduced Vegeta was dipicted as cocky and sadistic Vegeta is known for his pride, which often clouds his judgement when in battle. Like many villains, Vegeta is known his short temper for his violent fits of rage. As a result, he has been refered to as a "rageoholic".^[1]

As told in flashbacks, the television special Bardock: The Father of Goku, and the side story High Pride!! Saiya Prince Vegeta (誇り高き!! サイヤの王子ベジータ, Hokori Takaki!! Saiya no Ōji Bejīta).^[2] Vegeta was born on Planet Vegeta and raised there for a small portion of his life before the planet's destruction. From the time of his birth, Vegeta power was quite phenomenal in the eyes of the Saiyan people. It was long believed that he was the next legendary Super Saiyan. At an unspecified point in his childhood, he would become employed by the tyrant Frieza as a planetary land shark. From that point on, Vegeta would develop a hatred for Frieza, vowing to someday kill him. He would pretend to show loyalty to Frieza and carrying out various missions along with Nappa. All the while training and honing his abilities. After witnessing Frieza destroy a planet for apposing him, Vegeta would come to fear Frieza and become more resentful over the drastic difference in their powers.

Vegeta would make his first appearance in chapter 204. After eavesdropping, courtesy of their scouters, Raditz's battle with Goku and Piccolo, Vegeta and Nappa would venture to Earth with prospects of collecting the Dragon Balls to become immortal. However, his underestimation of his opposition would prove his downfall. After killing off most of the Z warriors, Vegeta would be defeated by Goku. Vegeta would retreat to Frieza Planet 79 for convalescence and to plan for his secret trip to Namek. While there, he would learn that Frieza had already departed for Namek with same ambition. Vegeta would race to Namek to collect the Dragon Balls and nearly paying the price for it during his battle with Frieza's henchman Zarbon. While recuperation on Frieza’s spaceship, Vegeta would escape with the Dragon Balls in Frieza's possession and prepare to collect the last Dragon Ball. But before he could claim his prize, he was intercepted by Frieza's elite warriors the Ginyu Force. After barely surviving, Vegeta would be forced to battle Frieza and unfortunately Vegeta would ultimately die just as a rejuvenated Goku arrives to do battle. But a technicality allows Vegeta to be resurrected and sent back to Earth with the Dragon Balls. Fueled with his desire to battle Goku, Vegeta would steel Capsule Corporation's spare spaceship and search for Goku.

After sometime, Vegeta would give up his quest and return to Earth to wait for Goku's return.

As depicted in episodes and Vegeta would force Dr. Briefs to build another ship the featured a stronger gravity pump than the one used by Goku. From that point Vegeta would grulingly train for the next five years. Nearly kill himself in the process, to Bulma's dismay who urged him to slow down. But the extreme training would eventually pay off when he faced off against the artificial humans #19 and #20, Dr Gero, he would become a Super Saiyan. Unfortunatly

But Trunks' flashback in episode showed that it was anything but father-son bonding experience
