- Prime Megs is goat but Tfa Megs is more goat also why can’t more Megatrons be like him
If only the cons he had In the show were like the ones in WFC/FOC
Here’s the music from the beginning • Transformers: War for ...
Edit 05/10/2023: I love youtube comment sections
Edit 10/13/2024: holy shit this is my most viewed video and I can’t say but thanks and looking back I have much to learn on editing
This Megatron is the most dangerous iteration for two reasons:
1: He doesn't let his pride and arrogance go to his head and he knows he's powerful and doesn't need to show off.
2: He's calm, cunning, deceitful, and a master strategist. He learns from his mistakes and doesn't commit them again, he gaslights and manipulates everyone into serving him, he plans ahead and has backup plans within plans.
A testament to this Megatron's brilliance is seen in episode one of the series, he attacks the Autobots alone and is defeated because of Starscream's betrayal. After that he never made another mistake, he kept every Decepticon at arm's length and never got close to anyone, he doesn't fight alone and has backup at the ready and most importantly he does not underestimate the Autobots nor Starscream again and takes full measure to ensure he wins. He never lost a 1v1 or a 1v5 battle because of skill, the Autobots won due to third-party interference.
Would that also include how Megatron lost his arm do to Starscream blowing it off during his fight on the shuttle before plummeting into a firy inferno? And not only his arm but his cannon arm?
He's just peak megatron
Estou estouip
And he's British. I loved his voice.
Not even prime megatron can compete with animated megatron
The only version of Megatron who instantly murdered Starscream after the first betrayal.
What about megatron cyberverse?
to be fair, it probably wasn't the first
@brayansoto7856 I wouldn't call that murder "instant". It was somewhat drawn out.
@@brayansoto7856 Wasn’t instantly
Yeah to be honest after Starscream's first betrayal, Megatron didn't really kill him as he basically just had him dragged back into the ship and basically had him tortured
In other words where cyberverse Megatron chose to not kill him and let it end right away instead chose to make his pain and humiliation last, while this version decided likely based on the fact that he didn't have the means to just capture starscream and hold him to be tortured let alone have anywhere to do so yet and knew that he'd likely escape and stay a threat to him even if he had any of those things since he is really cunning to the point where he almost killed him the first time and had more important things to deal with anyways so decided to just to kill him now and get it over to make sure he doesn't have to deal with him later on and make him an example
Prime Megatron : let's starscream live despite his multiple failures and betrayals
This Megatron : Kills him on the spot and kept killing him afterwards despite his immortality
I mean he only let Starscream return because he gave the keys for the Omega Lock.
@@Shevtress plus, watching Starscream fail continuously was one of his few forms of leisure entertainment
He said it himself. He allowed Starscream to live despite all the backstabbery because he “took a certain delight cataloguing (his) string of failures.”
@CasualNickname as entertaining as they maybe, they still cost him in the end so that's not really smart
Probably because he was the most effective person for his post. Airachnid is just as backstabby but much harder to control compared to Starscream. Dreadwing was very loyal but showed little in results and even has his own code that could supercede his orders.
Also, I can't help but laugh at Megatron's sarcasm when he says "Whaaat? Who told you that?"
I've always interpreted it as less sarcasm and more Megatron being really REALLY bad at acting innocent
And yet somehow everyone buys it
@@dustbunny6381Megatron being bad at being innocent is the best explanation for this moment
@@dustbunny6381
That, or he's completely self-aware about it and he's simply mocking their intelligence without them realizing it.
Right?!? He’s also just hot
@@BayliffHammer-z9k AYO WHUT?!!
Animated Megatron is the best version of the character. He's menacing, a master manipulator, but very calm and has personality.
True but you know what they saw. "You can't beat the original".
TFP Megatron:
maybe beast wars
@@youtuber9566 unpopular opinion: g1 megatron is extremely overrated
@DecepticonProductions Well, if we didn't have the "overrated" G1 megatron, we might not have had the others.
What sets this Megatron above the rest is the fact he can be intimidating without raising his voice or battering his minions.
His presence demands respect and when his enemies have the upper hand he finds ways to out smart them.
Plus, he does a whole lot of manipulating than the other Megatrons.
Agreed
True he does do that I just prefer TFP Megatron more since he never wastes an opportunity to use someone like ratchet Orion pax and predaking he always knew what to say and how to play his cards correct also the fact he is so feared with his honest being a weapon he uses
Never fought I would see the day a megatron uses honesty as a weapon with his manipulation high IQ and cunning adding to why only Optimus stood a fighting change against him
The truly powerful don’t need to scream to show their power
Damn, Megatron really gaslit, gatekept, and girl bossed all over this show
Took the “DECEPTICON” name to a whole new level.
We need a battle of gaslight gatekeep girlboss between Animated Megatron and Cyberverse Megatron. The guy that gaslit everyone he meet vs the guy that gaslight humanity with a livestream
Sorry, but Disney/Marvel has taught me that "girlboss" is an ugly concept.
Gorlboss?
Lmao you do realise Megatron's male, right...
I zwear you zoomers are the worst.
@@DevilgZerofour But can any of them out gaslight Crimson One?
11:30 "its my private blend" *as he hand shaking his oil cup designed as a wine glass like a sophisticated villain* damn, compared to all megatron incarnations, this has got to be the most villanous gentleman. His sophistication and speech patterns are off the charts
And not only does he brew the stuff himself, supplementary material reveals he’s also fond of a place on Cybertron called Maccadam’s Old Oil House, a place where both Autobots and Decepticons can meet and hang out on neutral terms. In fact, Megatron was quite displeased to hear Sentinel Prime had the place shut down for “harboring Decepticons”.
I like how they gave him that depth, showing he actually had hobbies and interests outside of being the face of the Decepticons.
@@ShadowPirateXi know animated never had the 13 primes in their lore but it would be funny if the bartender in their world is secretly a pacifistic demigod who never let violence in his bar
@@aced3657 Dionysus Prime?
@@chocov1233 funny name but unfortunately they went with alchemist prime
What I always loved about animated is how they changed the Optimus and Megatron dynamic. They are always supposed to be equals/rivals but in this show Prime in the beginning isn’t even remotely close to Megatrons level making prime more of an underdog so that when they do beat Megatron it’s more satisfying. Megatron doesn’t even remember primes name in this version as shown at 5:24 It’s less Dante vs Vergil and more so David and Goliath if you catch my drift
Agreed. And it's all the more satisfying when the rivalry BECOMES the classic rivalry that we all know them for. Really wished we had a Season 4 though. It would have been sweet to see how far their rivalry had gone.
Makes the final episode where he says his full name so satisfying
Was he even a prime in the first place?
I remember his ranking being a cadet, even jazz outranked optimus
I forgot at what part exactly did he receive the title prime
@@primus3217I think ultra Magnus gave him the rank of prime when he pulled some strings to be in command of the space bridge repair crew (I think it’s mentioned in the series 3 finale)
@@primus3217he's still a Prime. I guess Ultra Magnus does not want to lose face by keeping Optimus around (hence why he doesn't have the Elite Guard insignia) but does not want to waste a really good cadet so with Magnus pulling some strings, Optimus technically can keep his status as a Prime, of the Repair Bot sector instead of the Academy
The best Megatron hands down. Corey Burton gave an amazing performance & the crew did a fantastic job with his design and writing. R.I.P. Derrick J. Wyatt you gave this Megatron a great design.
Transformers prime Megatron is still the best TBH

@@ALJ9000 he is the superior version
You gotta admire Starscream’s determination for never giving up trying to “offline” Megatron, and even more credit with the fact he was doing this for the last 4 million Years 9:33
And not even Dead could stop him.
Yeah those two are somehow totally different yet exactly alike🤣😭💀
It’s funny that Corey Burton did Malware from Ben 10 Omniverse and he did this version of Megatron. I’m starting to think that both Animated Megatron and Malware kinda sounded the same
What's funnier is that, apparently, the same people worked for both series, Marty Isenberg and Derrick J Wyatt. There were also Easter eggs to TFA in Ben 10: Omniverse, such as Grimlock's sword and Lockdown's hook hand being trophies in Khyber the Huntsman's ship. Is it wrong if I think TFA and Ben 10: Omniverse share the same universe?
He was also Shockwave in G1 and this show
They do sound the same, and are both great.
@@johnnygyro2295 I think TFA might exist in an alternate timeline of the Ben 10 universe.
I know right!? I hear Megatron's voice in Malware and I think that's the reason why I loved him....well one of the reasons anyway
3:36 *Megatron - "Bitch please."*
He seems like a calm and reasonable person.
But is he a calm and reasonable person?
@@borisstoyanov3488TFA Megatron: If the moment calls for calm.
If Animated Megatron worked with G1, Bayverse and Prime Megatron, Animated Megatron would be their babysitter.
Megatron had a coercive cunning over bloated posturing; Starscream is fixated on self interest, Megatron is fixed on Decepticon agenda.
Ironically he actually is, he only goes to violence if you wrong him. Every other Megatron would have murdered Issac Sumdac for not cooperating in season 2 but this Megatron didn’t, you could also argue he has more mercy than others as well.
Corey Burtons portrayal of Megatron is just perfection. I just love how menacing and manipulative he is to the other Decepticons (especially Lugnut). He’s calm, cunning, sly, humorous and deceitful.
It highlights just how much he is willing to do to achieve his goal. I also love the fact that he wants to destroy earth basically out of spite, for keeping him captive over 50 years plus. It’s either this Megatron or TF Prime Megatron which are my favourite, I tend to fluctuate between the two.
I don’t even really have any bad things to say about this Megatron I just love him. Starscream is just perfection in this show as well. He is the only Starscream to technically fully defeat Megatron (though he didn’t live to see it) because, he was so relentless, having contingency plan everywhere. The bombs he placed inside the Omega supreme clones essentially lead to Megatrons complete defeat by the hands of Optimus Prime. Xx
Had Optimus not been in his way, he'd be indifferent to Earth though. I'm pretty sure the reason he wanted to destroy Earth out of spite was because Optimus cares about Earth, and Optimus was responsible for so many of Megatron's setbacks, that Megatron was just really pissed off at this point.
@@katzikat4669Very true. In the final episode of season 3 (and currently the last season after show was sadly officially ended) this version of Megatron finally calls this version of Optimus by his name rather than just Autobot. It really shows that he finally began to respect and see Optimus as major threat, not to mention that as arch-nemesis as well.
@@slasher19necroslayer42
I have a teeny tiny headcanon that Animated Megatron in particular is more than just a sociopath, he's a sociopath with ADD (I can provide more cues why I think that if you wish) and that he just generally struggles with names due to that, he literally just remembered Optimus name because Optimus pissed him off.
@@katzikat4669 I think it has to do with a lack of caring in general. At first he didn't see Optimus as an actual threat. But after Magatron got the Allspark disperse, while still in his chest. Optimus became an annoyance to him after, but it still wasn't enough for him to really care about the name. It was only after he had put so much work into the clones and them getting beaten down did he start to actually care as NOW Optimus was both a threat and thorn in his side.
@@kratkartan1486
If it was truly just arrogance, he would have remembered that name against his will and made up a dumb nickname, like Armada Megatron does.
Animated Megatron however, genuineld struggles with names.
Megatron drinking from a chalice will always be one of the greatest gifts TFA gave us.
We stan a goth wine mom
The original G1 Megatron got drunk off his ass drinking too much Energon .
Said Chalice being an oil barrel he crushed into form.
@@jf_kein_k8590 I never noticed that before 😆
@@koichidignitythief7429
And it was hilarious nonetheless 😂 this is why I personally believe that out of all the Megatron’s, TFA Megs would have the highest alcohol tolerance. You wouldn’t see him get tipsy either.
The genius of TFA’s Megatron is that he is a chilling master manipulator and the only Decepticon to see through it is Starscream, who turns out be equally as cruel and cunning. And it works because this version of Starscream is so far above the other deceptions it makes him actually have the case that he is too good to be second in command!
This Megatron was so memorable and my personal favorite of the Megatrons, probably because his voice is so sinisterly, his designs in Cybertronian shared similarities to his 2007 movie counterpart, and his Earth form has more g1 stylized/militaristic appearance. And he is super cunning. Along with being a very powerful warrior to boot, definitely showing not only in brains but brawns on why he is the TRUE leader of the Decepticons
Megatron being willing to be a sarcastic silly troll is both funny and scary, because he is total control. That's what I like about TFA Megatron, he is willing to smirk and even be a bit silly just to rub in how confident he is.
I find it funny that Megatron in this series knows how to mix good tasting oil.
6:09 I've never noticed until now Shockwave was actually LAUGHING at Lugnut
This is my favorite version of Megatron of all time! Corey Burton did a fantastic job voicing this handsome warlord!
Too much horniness lol
I love Megatron's design!And his voice too!
For anyone wondering, he also voiced Dooku in TCW and the old Jango Fett game years ago. He really is a great VA.
I love Animated and I love this Megatron, he didn't need any Dark Energy nor did he rely on brute force he mainly used his Head
I swear, if he had to fight Prime Megatron, but they both got preparation time the day before...
Prime Megatron would prepare his Dark Energon, meanwhile, Animated Megatron would sneak into Prime Megatron's stasis pod room, and manipulate it so that the effects on Dark Energon are reversed on Prime Megatron.
So when Prime Megatron takes the Dark Energon during battle, he doesn't become stronger anymore, but weaker.
You misunterpret repeated usage as being Prime Megatron being reliant on it, ol. Stop acting like Dark Energon was the only thing that made him powerful
This Megatron feel different than the rest.
He is quite level-headed. His manner of speech and tone is reflective of this. Kinda like DCAU's Darkseid, Teen Titans' Slade, EMH Kang, Ultron, and Doctor Doom, and Spectacular Spider-Man's Tombstone.
@@billauditore6636 Don't Forget Count Dooku / Darth Tyranus, Darth Sidious
@Aleksandar Vil I heard somewhere that Corey Burton (TFA Megatron's VA) voiced TCW Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus after Christopher Lee's passing.
@@billauditore6636 Don't Forget *DCAU!Brainiac*
Most characters here feel different than the rest
You know it’s funny, I usually drink soda in them on special occasions but I learned how to hold a wineglass thanks to this version of Megatron
Animated Megatron is the only Megatron I’ve seen that’s actually intimidating.
Yeah, he reminds me of the Utrom Shredder
Prime
Not as much intimidating @@shockie3963
Animated Megatron is so awesome, he is so damn intimidating because he's smart.
If I ever dmed a DnD campaign, I'f make a Warforged Battlesmith Artificer based off Animated Megatron. Well, at least personality wise, as dual wielding sucks in dnd.
Or maybe I could create a Variant Human artificer with just Animated Megatron's personality, who has Charisma as his secondary stat, and multiclassing into Conquest Paladin.
@@songoku50476Me too. Funny thing is that Prime Megatron is more by story and personality-wise as 2012 Shredder, while this Megatron behaves more to Utrom Shredder (they are both pure evil, very polite, can be very intimidating and dangerous if pushed too hard, both punished very harshly their subordinates (especially both their versions of Starscream and Stockman, while in Stockman’s case it is a lot of worse), both respected by some loyal subordinates (Lugnut and Hun) and etc.).
I like him cuz he's hot
I would love to see how each Megatron would react with decepticons from different universes especially the Starscreams. Because no matter how similar they seem the Starscreams are actually vastly different than each other, even personality wise. I’d also love to see how the Autobots act together and with the other decepticons!
other megatrons are beef jerky compared to the filet mignon that is animated megatron
You seem to show extreme loyalty to this version of Megatron. Are you, perchance, Animated Lugnut?
Animated Megatron is just Near Pure Evil
1.Despite considered as pure evil by fans, he also respects opponent too.
2.He admits his defeat.
I think this Megatron is somewhat of an extremist, unfortunately he places the cause above the lives of his own men.
For example in the tie-in material it's confirmed that he had entire battlefields on Cybertron levelled just to force Ultra Magnus in giving him the Allspark.
In season 4, he would've sacrificed Shockwave, Blitzwing, Lugnut, Ramjet and Sunstorm just to power the ship he was using to escape from Cybertron.
One of the scariest things about this one is that he's not facing Autobots who are seasoned warriors. Ratchet is a tired old medic. Bumblebee and Bulkead are boot camp washouts. Optimus and Prowl are actual warriors, but they lack experience and firepower.
Usually at least Optimus is an equal for Megatron, but this Optimus? Not until the finale upgrades. And he was still the strongest warrior of the bunch.
Ain't you a mod on the RWBY wiki?
What I always liked about this Megatron is that he's the only one who sounds so charming and persuasive that he could actually convince you that he's the real victim and the Autobots are the true oppressors. Pretty much every other Megatron focuses on sounding as scary and menacing as possible, but TFA Megatron is a genuine smooth talker who can play the victim when he wants to, and that makes him a lot more frightening in a way.
"Decepticons! Transform and rise up" is the single greatest line in this entire series and the only reason I didn't completely dismiss it as mid children's fare offhand.
That this hasn't replaced "Decepticons RETREEEAT" as Megatrons catchphrase is a shame.
this version of Megatron feels like a rival to the Utrom Shredder from TMNT 2003
Utrom Shredder was kind of lame, the best version is still the 90s movie one.
TRANSFORMERS PRIME Version of Megatron feels like a Rival to The Shredder from TMNT 2012
0:25 0:33 Megatron: wake up! the next time you decide to node off during a staff meeting I'll make sure your stasis nap is PERMANENT.
Thanks for making this video. Now I'm reminded of his voice. Now when I read he comics, this is the voice I will hear in my head. I love how Megatron *kinda* starts to show respect for Optimus as time goes on. "We are destined to battle on this ship once more, Autobot." to outright using his name once he's been properly told it. Of course, this is more frustration than anything, but it feels like there's some percentage of respect there. Plus, Optiimus showing him mercy by saying "That'd be the easy way out, Megatron. You don't deserve it." stuck with me as a kid. Yeah, I've seen and heard it before, but it lives rent-free in my mind sometimes when I think of true Heroism.
We don't know much about TFA Megs. Maybe the autobots really were unforgiving like in the IDW universe, and maybe one day in the past he truly was a noble warrior fighting against oppression, before being radicalized. From the Omega Project and Arcee's story, we know Magnus wasn't perfect and wasn't afraid to consider less ethical approaches to problems.
I think that, given enough time, Megatron and Optimus could end up seeing eye to eye. Maybe even fighting together to make a better Cybertron.
Yeah his voice is the best because all the other Megs sound like thugs, there's no intelligence or charisma to them, this is the thinking man's Megatron
I love frank welker, but this Megatron's voice is the best.
Imo the war and fall of cybertron megatron’s voice was the most badass
Fred Tatasciore's the VA of WFC & FOC Megatron
The design, the voice, the swagger... Oh my!
1:08, can somebody explain why Bayverse Megatron’s growl works so well with Animated?
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks so.
I think it would work well for the transformers prime version of Megatron too.
Other than the 1986 movie, I think 8:38 is probably the closest to cursing we might have in the animated adaptations.
Edit: I’m aware of “bad@$$atron” (used symbols just in case it auto-censors) in transformers one, but whether that really counts or not is debatable…
It's a shame they didn't keep the cybernetic growls, animated Megatron definitely has my vote. Don't get me wrong, Megatron from transformers prime is awesome too, considering he has his original voice.
Also, the writing for the show is top notch… all be it they do have some plot holes they do need to fill, but nonetheless top-notch
Original voice isn't always the best
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 it worked for Transformers prime… But I see your point it all depends on if they can still give it that same luster and energy. They did back in the day.
@Ani8900 Ehh I love Frank but he was never a strong Megatron voice for me, he just sounds like a raspy old bully, he's too Saturday morning cartoon villain. I've always preferred David Kaye (mostly in BW, he kinda sucks as the UT Megatron) and Corey Burton. Jason Marnocha is also super underrated.
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 well to eat the wrong still, though, you should try to give them a chance for transformers prime if you haven't watched it already, but if you have them hate like I said to each their own
@Ani8900 I liked it but I was never really thrilled by it and never found the quality everyone else was raving about.
6:40 "Get away from my weapons of mass destruction." Is easily my favorite megatron quote of all time.
Love the Beast Machines nod in the background music during the first chunk of the video.
It’s actually from WFC but I guess that works too lol
@@NefariousSpartan True. Man it (soundtrack “Dark Energy” from WFC) is really fitting to this Megatron also.
The leimotif from BM is present there which is really cool.
6:27, one must wonder how powerful this version of Ultra Magnus was to be able to make Megatron hesitate a bit.
I wish we saw more of his power; we got a slight glimpse of that on Dinobot Island, where he scared them off with his hammer. Other than that, he’s pretty much just a standing brick, and we’re supposed to just trust that he’s insanely strong.
Yeah and then he just gets cheesed by Shockwave offscreen like he’s a JJK character 😭
I think there were only two times this Megatron ever lost his temper. The first was when he found a recording of Starscream boasting about how he was the one who blew up Megatron (understandable, since he was stuck as a motionless head for fifty years); and when his Lugnut Supremes had their rockets disabled (because his planned invasion of Cybertron was completely derailed on Earth).
Alright, Megatron letting Starscream sit on his Throne during meetings is GENUINELY adorable, and I’d love to see little things like that be done more in future TF media
12:01 Megatron is holding a half-twisted oil barrel that resembles a wine glass.
And to think you could be leader of the deceptions... *You couldn't lead a parade*
OOOOOOOOHHH !!!!
💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SHOTS! FIRED!!
As someone stated this Megatron is an elegant bully ... and I love him
This is my favorite version of megatron, he’s badass, he’s terrifying, thinks of himself as a hero, all in all a great version of Megatron and Corey Burton absolutely steals the show as the mechanized maniac in my opinion.
"Get away from my weapons of mass destruction."
9:33 love this lmao
Yeah! Shoot Starsy in da A$$!!!
I kinda do feel sorry for Megatron in this one though.
Is it weird that I headcanon Animated in this show as not just a sociopath, but an ADHD sociopath, and just masking the ADHD so damn well, that only the positive aspects are visible from the outside, while he literally just started masking that ADHD because he just literally couldn't afford to be reckless and unfocused anymore?
Hear me out:
His joined up thinking allows him to always find a solution for everything. In situations where others would just be helpless, Megatron's creative, joined up thinking ass, always finds a way out of literally every troublesome situation. Reduced to his head? Hacks some machines in hopes of still retrieving the Allspark. Finds out that Sari's key can heal robots? Builds Soundwave to find out how this shit works. A material needs to be transported really damn fast? Gives that speeding up suit to a thief and convinces him to get that material to him. Stuck in outer space, and captured by Omega Supreme, and stuck in a passed out Omega Supreme? Fucks around until he takes control of Omega Supreme.
His energetic and passionate demeamor is contagious, and greatly assists him in his charisma.
Then there is the hyperfocus. Throughout the show, he expresses a state of hyperfocus, constantly working on conquering Cybertron, and doing so tirelessly. I headcanon that off screen, he has alarm clocks to remind him to consume his Energon and to recharge.
And of course, him not remembering names most certainly comes from arrogance, but maybe remembering names just doesn't trigger ebough joy signals (Cybertronian version of dopamine) to even bother with that.
@@katzikat4669 I’ll be straight up with you, it is weird (especially with the extent you’ve thought this out, wow) but at the same time it’s cool you’re having fun with it
@@6shot9 if I wasn't too depressed to draw, I'd learn how to draw Cybertronians, and do a fan comic where Animated Megatron works with Combiner Wars, G1, and Transformers Prime Megatron, and even though these are different versions of him, he still ends up being their babysitter.
In this show, Megatron and Optimus both suffer from the "babysitter curse". Whoever these two work with, they always end up being everyone's babysitter.
What I absolutely love about this Megatron it's just how deceptive and conniving he can be. He really lives up to the decepticon name
My top 3 favorite versions of Megatron:
1. Prime (due to having a sympathetic side, being a complex character, somewhat tragic (he became like this because of the corrupt caste system) and also very powerful (from just random miner to gladiatorial champion of Kaon and then politician (leader of the Decepticons)).
2. It is shared by an Animated (due to his cold and serious attitude, charismatic and pragmatic side (he wasn’t wrong actually about an Autobot tyranny, considering that it is because of the Autobots Wasp became insane in their prison complex or, when Sentinel Jerk became a temporary Magnus, he created a military dictatorship on Cybertron), and his sheer intelligence and power) and Beast Wars (due to being also charismatic, theatrical intelligent and more charming (not to mention that is also more dangerous than G1 Megatron and the only version that actually became a ruler of all Cybertron), and also having dangerous intelligence like Animated one).
3. G1 (I know that he is somewhat typical cliched bad guy, like all characters from G1. But if there wouldn’t be because of this guy, then we wouldn’t have other versions of Megatron).
Prime Megatron isn't complex though...
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69ime Megatron is also Wfc/Foc Megatron, and the same one from the novel's. He's much more complex than basically any other version.
@PuRpLe_GuY Maybe novel Megatron but WFC Megatron was a generic conquerer and in Prime none of his good traits are shown.
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Even in WFC, he had multiple levels of bitterness, like how he lies to himself and his cons about how Optimus became a prime.
@@AubergineWomans WFC Megatron didn't even know Optimus
I miss both this version of megatron and his osprey helicopter mode
Seriously its perfect
5:17 I love how this foreshadow the final battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. Since in that battle Megatron has finally acknowledged Optimus name and he regretted that he remembered Optimus Prime name.
In an age where Megatron as a good guy has become quite popular, it's easy to forget that he used to be one of the coolest villains in all of fiction.
Since when has that been the case, lol
10:02 the way starscream laugh at megatron when he said please sometime turn me offline was 😆
*11:30* ok i am believe to imagine that megatron in idw when he recruted the constracticons he asked to go with them on a drink like that and he told them of a cybertron where they are free to bla bla
This is why Megatron is a force to be reckoned with and this is why Megatron Animated is my favorite
The only Megatron to never laugh
And the only one to make you feel like he could take on anyone.

This Megatron really was a DECEPT-icon.
The voice acting really made this show.
YES! I love this Megatron so much! Corey Burton does such a phenomenal job as his va, this Megatrons voice is unique and powerful. His designs are great. This Megatron himself is unstoppable, he towers over just about everyone. He's impossible, powerful, and menacing. I love everything about him.
"Starscream. Wake up. Wake up Starscream. You have two year, two year Starscream"
No one will ever be a better megatron than Frank Welker but Korey Burton’s megatron is nothing to sneeze at
I always said like this form of Megatron. As much as I like the gun alt mode his attack helicopter alt mode screamed don't cross me
3:47 I love his sarcasm
i seriously love this version of Megatron
The thing that always stood out to me about Megatron in this version, is his interactions with the constructocons. Cause...he was dead right. One hundred persent. He never lied to them. He told them that the autobots could not be trusted, that they pretend to be your friends, but are cunning and mercyless. And what happens when they go to the autobots? They get poisoned. By their friend bulkhead.
It almost feels like a self fulfilling prophecy.
Animated Megatron can be benevolent sometimes. He may still be a bossy dictator, but if we look at Blackarachnia, then meeting Megatron was the best thing that could have happened to her, after she has been infected.
Heck, I can even see why Lugnut is so obsessed with Megatron. Lugnut probably got judged by every bot wherever he went, for not knowing how social interactions work. I'm pretty sure Lugnut is autistic. And being octracized all the time really fucks with one's mind. Megatron, on the other hand, didn't judge Lugnut a single time. He may be a bit exasperated sometimes, but he never judges Lugnut, and never tells Lugnut to change or conform to some societal standards, Megatron just allowed Lugnut to be himself, and that's the reason Lugnut is so damn obsessed with Megatron.
Megatron hiring Blackarachnia be like: "I can excuse mass destruction, but I draw the line at racism."
Autobots: "you can excuse mass destruction?!"
Like, if Animated Megatron swapped Decepticons with G1 Megatron, G1 Megatron would die from a spark attack because of how cringe the Animated Decepticons are.
@@katzikat4669he also learns to tolerate Blitzwing, who literally has split personality disorder. Literally none of his OG crew is normal, mentally or physically, except maybe Starscream, who just turned on him regardless. It's a wonder that he still keeps them around

Animated Megatron is pretty chill with Animated Blitzwing though. Heck, his comment to Blitzy being a total maniac, as usual, in the episode "Lost and Found" , was "hmmmm... Blitzwing is a bit unstable."
So, Animated Megatron would definetly be hella chill with the G1 Decepticons.
@@katzikat4669 All things considered, Megatron would be considered a somewhat decent boss at least if you don't try to pull a starcream move or stand in his way. Compared to someone like Sentinel who is supposed to be a "good guy" but is borderline abusive to his underlings, I wonder why Magnus keeps him around. He's not even a decent fighter
I must commend the amazing casting of Animated where the amazing David Kay as Optimus Prime ( BW Megatron, Armada, Energon and Cybertron) battles with Tom Kenny( Spongebob and so much more) and Corey Burton( Shockwave, Spike Wit Wickey Ludwig von Drake, as Megatron! Just an amazing crew altogether!
“You shall as a reminder to every decepticon that might-“
*clink*
“Eh?”
Also first version that took a helicopter form
Earthspark was second.
Corey Burton would make an awesome Zeta Magnus (a Separatist villain from the original Star Wars Expanded Universe) with that voice. Especially since he already voices Count Dooku and a ton of other Star Wars characters.
@7:40 eh? gets me for no reason
Man Should have gotten The Prime Version of the Decepticons, He is annoyed by HIS Decepticon Army
Prime Decepticons were way more incompetent. At least this Megatron's excuse was that this is all he had left after losing the war.
I love how Megs just never questions why Starscream keeps coming back and just enjoys the fact that he can keep killing him
I like how Megatron twisted his barrel into a wine glass
I love how this Megatron views all Autobots as insignificant but starts to remember Optimus's name after he beats him
He's the best Megatron in my mind he's powerful, cunning, calm, and intelligent he's how I've always imagined him a calm brute just waiting for the right moment to strike
I still consider him one of (if not) the most perfect version of Megatron yet. Still salty that this show got cancelled.
At least, we actually got an ending.
im so upset we don't have season 4
Considering all these other old cartoons and shows they've brought back including the 90s X-Men coming this year, and the MCU bringing back the older movie versions of certain Marvel characters, I feel there's possibility we get Animated back in the future.
his voice is just amazing
You left out the BEST PART of the scene where Megatron shoots Starscream in the ASS for mocking him while he was making his speech! After examining the new hole in the wall, he says, "Mmmm, much better."
After all these years I still can't get over those long ass sholders
The best transformers series hands down
It's sad because half the appeal of the show was subverting the traditional Transformers formula but you really can't do that twice. It's also the show with the best human companions and the most competent and scary version of the Decepticons
In your opinion, that is
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69
Even with all that, it's too goofy for my tastes. I used to like it, until I realised that Starcream was voiced by the guy who voices Spongebob. That was the final straw that made me not like it anymore
My number 1 incarnation of Megatron. Even when all hope seems lost for him, he still finds a way back!
I really wanted that Megatron vs Power Master Armor Prime we were going to get at the end of Season 4
Holy cow! I just spotted this video, and adding that music from worse for Cybertron is most definitely Chef's kisses!
One thing I don't necessarily see people mention is that Isaac built everything in Detroit by reverse-engineering Megatron's head. In est, I found his bodyless time to be a source of paranoia fuel-Megatron now has access to every bot and service within Detroit, and he uses them when he can to try to end the Autobots and Sari. Sure, once he gets his body back, he goes back to taking care of things himself, but the thought that your trusted robot aid or pet could just turn on you with no prior signs of showing dislike towards you is chilling.
he literally pitched a powerpoint to the constructobots to join his cause 😂
This design was based off of Super Megatron from the end of the Japanese sagas and it’s so cool to see these writers definitely were nerds for the franchise

You ever think how somehow TFA animated is the only straightly played Meg?
I feel like he's ironicallu the least silly or cartoonishly evil, this Meg is all about cunning and intelligence, I can actually see him as being a very effective leader of the Decepticons cause he knows his priorities and is able to make people want to follow him.
Until he gets really mad at Optimus Prime and begins his obsession at the ending of the series which is hilarious.
TFP Megatron might have been one but well considering his present obsession with defeating Optimus, his god complex and his love of bullying others, he kind of wastes a lot of time on Earth to defeat Prime when the decepticons could be gathering their resources as Starscream and Airachnid have considered more tactical, and he obviously has less control of his emotions and has to resort to outbursts when his troops or underlings fail, they follow him out of fear instead of being inspired or believing in the decepticon cause.
TFP Megatron is more of an unhinged tyrant than calm and calculating leader when you think about it.
He has moments of cunning and intelligence but like I said it might just be a side he isn't exercising anymore.
Bro did NOT let Starscream slide
Decepticons tranform and rise up!
-Lord Megatron
TFP Megatron stole that catchphrase.
My favourite Megatron and also my introduction to the character
Corey Burton has always played a fantastic mechancal menace. My favorite wqs Brainiac from the original DCAU.
he is a really good manipulator.
I love this guy.
