Animated series
In this Transformers: Headmasters, Megazarak is the larger body for the Destron robot Zarak. He was initially depicted as Zarak, a shadowy figure, shrouded in darkness, until he completed construction on the Megazarak "body". He even assumed command of the Destrons for a while when Galvatron was thwarted by the Cybertrons. When Galvatron was killed during a battle with the Cybertron Headmasters, Megazarak took back the leadership of the Destrons. At the end of the series the Megazarak body was destroyed by Fortress Maximus.
Transformers: Superlink
Megazarak is the Japanese name of Superlink/Energon Scorponok.
Transformers: Universe
One of the Heralds of Unicron, Megazarak comes from a dimension where he has all but destroyed the Autobots and is the ruler of the Decepticons.
This version of Megazarak was noted for his insatiable appetite for destruction and mayhem outstripping that of even his predecessors. Megazarak soon nearly killed the Prime of that reality (later that individual would be taken by Unicron and reborn as Nemesis Prime), and nearly annihilated the Autobots once and for all. The rest of the Decepticons quickly learned to both fear and respect their new master, and he soon assembled his own personal strike force -including Sunstorm, Dreadwind, Smokejumper, among others. His Mini-Con partner, Caliburn, actually loves the level of carnage his partner causes.Megazarak seems to have no known weaknesses, but he does have a preoccupation: he seeks to destroy Defensor, the only Autobot to have escaped his wrath. Megazarak was released as a special edition figure, along with Sentinel Maximus available at BotCon. 3H Enterprises
Megazarak's only fictional appearance came in the BotCon Transformers: Universe series, where he was shown seeking out the Oracle (of Beast Machines fame) to help track down the last Autobots on Cybertron. He was confronted by Ultra Trion, who valiantly attempted to hold him off, but Megazarak killed him with his main cannon. However, Trion had his victory even in death, as he had bought enough time for the Oracle to be moved.
