A preview of Metroplex's city mode for his own SoD: Metroplex story (working title).
Art by Jeremy. The story will reveal the secret origin of the Citybot (and much more, just read the notes!).

The story will reveal the secret origin of the Citybot

Was he bought in Ikea's January Sale, assembled by Geoff the Autobot (turns into a toaster, quite a minor character) and was originally intended as a decorative wall hanging?

Through a series of personal tragedies (his pet gerbil was killed in a freak yachting accident) he vows to become the greatest Citybot in history, culminating in the climax where he wins the Round Cybertron Citybot Being a City Bee Contest?

No?

Probably for the best. Your idea will be much more sensible.

XD

Speaking for myself, I'm a bit tired of mechs who are victims of tragedies and become killing machines, crazed soldiers and whatever ^^

But, but... isn't that Megatron's backstory (continuity-inspecific) and therefore crucial to all Transformers mythos?

It's not? Oh. Carry on, then!

Well, um, I don't recall any tragedies before that MOrigin miniseries, which we are not including in our new continuity ^^'

The concepts we are using are those of G1 Marvel #1 and The War Within.
Actually, we are in continuity with The War Within, where Megatron was depicted as a clever, calculating mech who spent his life studying the secrets of Cybertron.

More hints about his origin, as we have imagined it, here, in the Shockwave/Soundwave chapter:
