If it's not too much to ask, what would Megatron's origin be then?

Ooohhhhehe I love this one.

Megatron is Dredge, a living stone statue or stone giant. Living in the far future. Not as far as Brainstorm, but in the future.

He gets a medical degree, suffers sleepless nights before an exam, and writes poetry. The regular mechs treat him with a little wariness, but no more than that. Overt oppression of monsters is long past, thanks to the efforts of Orion and many other mechs.

Megatron has never and will never meet Orion Pax, but he can see him if he looks at illustrations in historical articles.

Something in my soul was rising, rising, ceaselessly, painfully, and refused to be still.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Margaret Atwood, from The Selected Poems of Margaret Atwood; "Thoughts from Underground,"

“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

I believe that the best definition of man is the ungrateful biped.
