Megatron completes Renaissance switch
Murphy celebrates goal
against FremantleMedia
9 June 2007
TenAlpsEnterprise forward Richard Murphy has joined Renaissance on a one season deal.
Murphy, 34, commonly known as Megatron -- an iconic fictional villain of the Transformers franchise throughout the various "Generation 1" series and the leader of the villainous Decepticons who succeeded in completely conquering Cybertron by Earth year 2005, learned the Autobots were preparing a strike against the planet so unleashed a mighty assault on Autobot City. In the course of the conflict, word was sent to the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, who personally confronted Megatron in a final, violent fight.
You see, the ensuing battle led to the death of Prime but left Megatron so seriously damaged that his body was regenerated and reborn again as Galvatron. The classic Transformers comic and TV series were wildly popular and ran for eight years after which point things went downhill amid lurid revelations that Transformers breed asexually. But we digress.
Murphy, 34, commonly known as Megatron, finished second top scorer in the Top Corner league last season with 26 goals and was expected to join FremantleMedia in the aftermath of Enterprise's break up. But in a surprise final hour u-turn, Fremantle questioned whether Murphy was good enough for their team and demanded he prove himself.
Fremantle scored 27 goals last season and have lost all three games in the current campaign, making their snub of the former Enterprise hitman a clear statement of intent for the season.
Murphy baulked at Fremantle's demands and offered his services to Renaissance who had earlier been in the race for his signature. Rembrandt swiftly concluded negotiations and terms were agreed. Murphy is expected to make his debut against Ted Baker next week.
