[Transforners] Is Megatron just a straight up robot?

There’s no catch or second meaning...he’s full-on robot? I can put him on a list with Wall-E, Ultron, CHAPPiE, and Kelex?

Tricky... You could also ask "is a human a (squishy) robot?"

Transformers are a peculiar species.  Most sentients have well-defined bodies and use tools to make themselves more effective, clothing to adapt to their environment, vehicles or domesticated animals for transportation, and so on.

Transformers have very loosely defined physical structures.  They have a brain, an inner-energon-pump, and a spark case (the Primus-ists among them would describe it as a soul; the scientific would say it's like a routing nexus that integrates the signals from the brain with the energy from the pump).  Those three interconnected systems, as sophisticated as anything you'll find in squishy biology, provide a an individual "skeleton" around which a relatively simple mechanical body is crafted.
