Could've been ten minutes of Megatron saying "yessss" and I would be ok with it
No 10 hours
the Lohgock gamer Try 10 days!
Here's a 3 minute one: th-cam.com/video/E2t4MBhGAg8/w-d-xo.html
I wish somebody would upload a 10-hour version of that
Found one: th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
So he basically just named himself “Beelzebub”? That’s a power move.
Idk if you spelled that right. But I applaud you sir.
@@wileyjp1 he spelled it right.
It’s the equivalent of some modern terrorist just straight up naming themselves “Satan.”
Or "Judas".
(Considering Modern TF Lore)
He did always have a flair for the dramatic.
I find it funny how David Kaye is the only voice actor (as far as I know) to voice both Megatron and Optimus Prime.
Gary Chalk also has that honor since he also briefly voiced G1 Megatron when Predacon Megatron was replaying footage of the shattered Golden Disk to Ravage in the Ark.
Just like G1ers got Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, I grew up with Gary Chalke and David Kaye as Optimus and Megatron.
Unicron Trilogy.. Got it.. Me too!!
Me too
Me too although I was born as beast machines was ending
As a G1er, all four are great.
That's just prime
This Megatron does live up to his original's namesake, YESSSSS!!
@Brian Ludwig I feel that they are on equal levels but YESSSS
@Brian Ludwig ok, I just like them both a lot.
Instead of the MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, IT IS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Nay, he SURPASSES HIS NAMESAKE!
@@akumaking1 the orignal orignal Megatron (of cybertronian myth and legend), not the g1 megatron (who turns into a gun which is completly pointless).
A beast wars megatron episode? Yeeeeeeeees....
I want him to have a 'Yeeeees'-off with Megabyte from Reboot.
No, its YEEEEEEEESSS
"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."
Rubber duck you're the one rubber ducky you're the one rubber ducky
yessss........
Fun fact: David Kaye will sing that song in-character as Megatron if asked. He also autographs rubber duckies ^.^
Between his cool beast modes, his suave, sophisticated vocabulary, his backstory across other media, and the wonderful voice of David Kaye, BW Megatron reigns as my favorite TF villain of all of them.
You know, a bit of an extra info, while his werewolf-like mode was called Noble, the dragon mode of Megatron in Beast Machines is called Savage. Definitely a play on the mythic "noble savage" philosophy by authors such as John Dryden and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
I met David Kaye at OTFCC 2003. I was at the hotel bar having a drink by myself when he walked up and proceeded to put the tip of his pool cue up to one of the tvs, as though he was trying to stick the tip of it up Opra's nose. He then asked me, "Isn't Oprah filmed here? We should go see that." I said, "Yeah but Jerry Springer is filmed here too. Wouldn't you rather go see that?" I think you can all guess what his answer was. LOL
No??
@@Geewunner4life "YeSSss" lol his catchphrase
@@toy5965 I know, dude. I was kidding. Was never a BW fan but BW Megatron was just one of my favorite characters.
"Sooner or later his time will come again" Transformers War for Cybertron: Kingdom Megatron in the year 2021 is here! YESSSS.
I'm hoping David kaye voices megatron so I can hear him say yesss
I personally speculate that he could be Predaking from Prime.
@@youraveragemorononyoutube4435 YES PLSSSSS
@@youraveragemorononyoutube4435 cco
Netflix season 3 kingdom 7/26/2021
Love that you brought up David Kaye's Christmas messages.
A well-executed Basics indeed; yessssss.
I always wished Megatron had some kind of add-on to his name to better distinguish him from G1 Megatron, like "Megatron the Second," or "Megatron Rex," or something. Similar to Optimus Primal.
Megatronus Rex!
@@Oturan20 sounds dope 🔥
@TH-cam Youser Eh, there’s already a gigatron
@TH-cam Youser yeah
I feel like they would’ve called him “Megatropics” to match Optimus primal’s name
My favorite has to be when Megatron lost to the maximals by an energon powered bean fart. "This is certainly the most humiliating defeat in my entire career. YEEEESSS!
Some Megatrons might be stronger, some might be faster, none will be more cunning. My first thought when you say Megatron will always be Transmetal Megatron.
Oh he was a damn smart bot. My second choice for Megatrons but he just didn't come across at least to me as a master at turning people against each other and playing all sides. Damn good leader though I can see why the cons followed him. Can't say that about other ones without using the idea he strikes fear in them.
The dynamic and cat and mouse between Megatron and tarantulus is one of my favorite in fiction
Funny enough I'm scared to death of spiders and Tarantulus is my all time fav transformer. I could watch him and Megatrons battle of wits forever.
PercyMagnus45 They are both great!
ProfessM I think they are both great in their own ways!
For Beast Wars Megatron? The answer will always be a resounding "yesss..."
I just got my hands on a near-mint Beast Wars Megatron a few weeks ago at an absolute steal, and it's amazing. As a kid of the '90s who grew up loving Beast Wars, it was legitimately an emotional experience holding the thing in my hands for the first time. I don't think I've ever gotten quite the same thrill out of a toy in all my life, and I don't think I ever will again. It's truly a thing of beauty, as is the character himself. Yes...
Nick Ferrazza I got the same feeling when I got my Megatron too. I got the red dragon one. I think I’m gonna watch the show agaib
Same happened to me when i bought him in December.
Nick Ferrazza
I'm not sure if it's the Megatron you have, but I know transmetal beast wars Megatron has a brown waist that may have GPS,
Gold Plastic syndrome
Just thought I'd let you know in case your Megatron has it
No, it's the original non-transmetal one. Not a speck of gold plastic to be seen. Thanks anyway.
Nick Ferrazza
GPS can affect plastic that is not gold as well, but nice knowing yours is good, mate
David Kaye was the best Megatron Voice actor ever.
YESSSSSSSS
Hugo Weaving is better tho
bullshit frank welker was
But consider this... TFA megatrons voice actor
@@gman4736 Oh shit, forgot about Corey Burton.
He was incredible too.
Excellent, yesss!
Beast Wars is definitely one of my all time favourite TF series and Megatron always delivers a smile to me when he's on screen.
Without re-using the whole "Yeeeeeeeesssssssssss" thing. It's awesome to see an episode focused on Megatron from Beast Wars, a character really worth dissecting and looking at in more detail.
Beast Wars Megatron has been my favorite villain out of all versions of Megatrons.
He is cunning,shrewd,clever,devious,a real ham,entertaining in his own way,and someone you don't ever underestimate.
What I would like more than anything is a proper Beast Wars game based on the first season, but like War for Cybertron, not the original PS1/PC game.
Oh and the original voice actors too. Yeeeeessss
tigertron as I seen Megatron shooting lasers I was thinking this just as I was looking over your comment weird aye? Great idea and should be done would be awesome
If it had been _finished_ the PSOne game could have been really good. The part that still burns in my memory is the bad replacement VO they used for the game.
Maybe not make it take place in the same universe, no? Then we could have a bigger character roster and, I quote, "more things to shoot".
Plus, they could use a similar engine and stick to the Transmetals? Maybe? Any new good Beast Wars content would be good.
Bumblebot 245 If Hazbro made a new Beast Wars game, they could use the other toys for new characters. If they wanted to, Hasbro could make the game start out like the original series but show on the other side of the world that another group of Predicons and Maximals were fighting as well. There was a signal was sent through the teanswarp wave. Who’s to say that second group didn’t detect the signal and went to investigate?
Yeah the first season was cool. Then they became all metallic and brought in hybrids. Then the show was lame.
Beast Wars Megatron is by far the best incarnation in the Transformers series and out of all his forms during the series his Transmetal form my favourite.
Yesss!!!!
Both Transmetal forms are awesome.
Top 10 things that make beast wars Megatron a great character
Number 1: YYEESSS
Number 2-10: refer back to number 1
I think 2 should be David kaye
Yesssss
Everything reverts back to Number 1.
This was a particularly fun one, pal. And I especially appreciated the info on lesser-known stories I had missed. I hope you're having a good time making these vids, because I am DEFINITELY enjoying watching them!! Thanks very much for all the work and time you put into these!!
I've always loved this Megatron. Both his Crocodile and Rex forms are amazing. I had both of his Rex forms and I loved them.
This villain shocked me as a kid, making me realize that the bad guy can win sometimes. Well, that seemed the case at least on the end of season 2. In a way it's such a shame they undid all of it at the start of season 3.
David Kaye also voiced Megatron in two of JobbytheHong's BW Megatron reviews. He voiced him in the MP review. The second one would be for a third-party Transmetal 1 figure where he also left Jobby and his viewers a message. That was a pretty awesome thing for him to do. He also apparently wore one of Jobby's shirts for a livestream/video.
When Dreamwave Productions was still in operation, their "More Than Meets The Eye" series featured a rundown of every G1 character. The prologue showed a mysterious bot accessing Vector Sigma for all the information, and by series end that bot was revealed to be Beast Wars Megatron, presumably preparing himself for the golden disc theft and subsequent Beast Wars. Too bad Dreamwave went under before they could tackle really the Beast Wars.
Beast Wars Megatron needs a NEW TOY IN THE GENERATIONS TOY LINE.....yeesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!! :D
TFfangeek it should have the rubber ducky as an accessory
YEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! XD Also, Megatron can be a retool of Power of the Primes Optimal Optimus, he can be Optimal Megatron, and the core robot can be T-Rex Megatron. :D
TFfangeek I hope we get to see more Beast Wars stuff in the future. I've rumors of some Netflix series in the works. I'm getting tired of G1 this. G1 that. Beast Wars fans deserve some attention too.
Dinobot Kiryu I agree, since you can still count using your fingers the number of Beast Wars/Beast Machines characters who have been given updated toys by Hasbro. Only seven/eight, Cheetor, Dinobot, Rhinox, Rattrap, Waspinator, Tankor, and Optimal Optimus/Optimus Primal. I have my fingers crossed that Predacon Megatron gets a new toy in the NEAR future. :D
TFfangeek Me to. Who is a beast wars character you wish did not die?
Three cheers to Beast Megatron! The only Purple Dinosaur we all learned the ABC's to Conquer!!!
A is for annihilation
B is for breaking the spirits of your enemies.
C is for conquering worlds
@@Ecl1ps0_
G is for *Genocide!*
H is for Hostile Takeover
I is for Indoctrination
You know, the T-rex is like a the gun of the dinosaurs, and Megatron has nearly the same transformation as his G1 counterpart.
I'd have thought the gun of the dinosaurs would be those weird spitty buggers from jurassic park.
Several Fighters well, Dilophosaurus couldn’t actually do that.
Nah, the tail was a melee weapon. The head was the gun.
@A guy with an anime Profile Pic Because I can no, his T-Rex head could shoot lasers.
@@RAFMnBgaming that's not something the species could actually do, it was made up for the franchise
It was more the fact he was much more brutal than G1 Megatron. He murdered his own team if it meant victory. And his plans were beyond anything you could preempt. He was generally terrific and terrifying.
This is the education I've been missing.
Things are cleared up. It was the story I loved. I had only seen the g1 briefly, and early. It wasn't until I heard Ravage transform that something clicked and I started to remember g1. The realisation this far into the show was a MIND BLOW! ... I then proceeded to go in the internet to learn more... At the library, because that's where the internet was at the time for me.
Now I'm going to watch the one about the Quintessons and learn their deal. Thank you.
Megatronus: *exists*
Evil tyrant bots: Oh that's a cool name
@@basedpota FUCKING WACK. THAT'S SO COOL
The rendering on thumbnail is one of the coolest takes on rex meg ive seen
Very YEEEEESSSSS....
I absolutely adored the Uprising portrayal of Megatron. When you stop to think about it, even though his motives weren't altruistic, the beast upgrade he funded really turned the tide of the uprising.
I really loved dinosaurs when i was a kid and when i watched this show megatron instantly became my favourite.
Love the video, I always liked the Beast Wars/Beast Machines series. I did not know about the annual messages from his actor, think I will have to look around and find some of those here on TH-cam. Yeeesss...
That reminds me, I meant to put a link to his TH-cam channel in the notes! It is so added! th-cam.com/users/dkayevo
Thanks, keep up the good work!
Chris McFeely Who do you think is someone Megatron could fall in love with? Someone to rule by his side.
I love Beast Wars Megatron. I started watching reruns of the old gen 1, and I've seen many different series since then, Beast Wars Megatron still resonates for me gamma I don't think I'm ever going to stop loving him.
You forgot his reappearence in robot chicken adult swim
I may have ptsd, but THAT is a ***king Maximal!
Considering he was voiced by David Kaye, I'd consider that canon.
Gustavo Borealis I hope they make more of those. Yes.
DEATHSTROKE I love that one. Yesss
DEATHSTROKE yessss
Beast Wars Predacon Megatron: Powerful, maniacal, brilliant, comedic, multidimensional character.
Transformers Kingdom Predacon Megatron: A fucking SIMP for G1 Megatron
While it may seem unconventional, the idea of Megatron from Transformers Beast Wars excelling at Fortnite is surprisingly plausible. Megatron is known for his strategic brilliance and adaptability, traits that would undoubtedly translate well into the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of Fortnite. As a cunning and ruthless leader, Megatron possesses the tactical acumen to outmaneuver opponents and secure victory on the battlefield. His experience in leading his fellow Predacons in battles against the Maximals demonstrates his ability to coordinate team efforts effectively, a crucial skill in squad-based gameplay. Additionally, Megatron's resilience and determination make him a formidable opponent, capable of persevering through even the most intense firefight. With his unmatched skills and unwavering determination, Megatron would undoubtedly dominate the competition in Fortnite, proving that even robotic overlords have a knack for battle royale gaming.
I love BEAST WARS MEGATRON in all forms! YYYYEEEESSSS!
I had no idea that the beast wars went this deep damn this is awesome
Beast wars Megatron: Leader of the predacons
Champion of "Yeeessss"
Megatron was the precursor to knockout's voice.
YESSSSSSSSS if you agree
IMO the best, most appropriate Megatron was the Beast Wars version. It always found it a stretch for such a feared conqueror as Megatron to suffer so many defeats, failures and miscalculations upon arriving on Earth- until the BW Megs revealed very human-like mannerisms and tendencies. Maybe it had to do with a more organic disguise form, but that imperfect Megatron made every mishap and misfortune more believable (and endearing to me). In fact, it was the human-like personalities- their offbeat characteristics and quirkiness-of the stars of the series that placed them among the most colorful & memorable TF’s ever;Inferno with his,”Yes, my queen!”, Quickstrike’s gunslinger slang, Silverbolt’s Arthurian chivalry, Dinobot’s internal conflict, etc.
beast Megatron superior, g1 megatron most inferior.
All of these transformers basics are the best!!!!! Thanks for your time
“Yeeeeeees, I may have PTSD, but that is a f**king Maximal!”
Now that I know that transformers legends exists I want an English translation of it now it’s so adorable and the concept is so wacky and amazing at the same time
Awesome video......YES!!!!
Best character from the series.......OH YES!!!!
Best Megatron...........DEFINITELY YESSSSSSSS!!!!
Beast Wars Megatron gets a Yes! from me.
I always say that I want a line solely based around Beast Wars so we can get consistent toy updates for the characters, but to be honest I just want new BW Megatrons.
I just want a whole line made of wave after wave of BW Megatron toys.
Yesss
PercyMagnus45 Yeah but Generations doesn’t have even nearly enough Beast Wars stuff. It’s like a slow drip.
That one time when they had Tankor and Rhinox and Rattrap and Waspinator was too great tho. Like a big bomb of awesome.
Considering we're getting a new primal, i think it's only a matter of thime till we get a new BW megatron, maybe a leader class one
dunkanbulk14 I at least hope for a retool of Optimal Optimus that comes with a deluxe Megatron to be all Beast Machines.
My greatest dream would be a new Transmetal Megatron voyager toy, with better proportions and plastic, but the same gimmicks.
dunkanbulk14 aren’t we getting a MP?
Still, it'd be nice to see a generations line of solely Beast Wars stuff. I mean, as much as I love G1, it'd be nice to see other series tributed.
Mmmmmmmmm~ Yesssssssss~
Can't wait to see him and the rest of the Predacons and Maximals in Transformers WFC Kingdom.
I came here for more Gobots :(
788rad well shit
maybe next year?:P
See you on April Fools Day!
Don’t ignore transformers:(
Yessssssss
So love your channel! So I have been a fan from G1 and have found myself collecting the new Power of the Primes toys. Love to see you cover the Prime Wars Trilogy.
I've resorted to calling Beast Wars Megatron by his 2021 IDW incarnation's real name, Galavar to avoid personal confusion between him and his namesake
@Vilgax00 I prefer Galavar, but to each their own
Man, nice.
Didn’t know David did a holiday message annually since then. I truly believe the BW cast really DID love their time on the show and their characters. I know Scott McNeil does....
Loved this series and collected almost all the Beast Wars toys as a kid, wished I had kept them.
If that Beast Wars movie does get made, I really hope Megatron is voiced by David Kaye again with all the same personality and quirks.
Finding the BeastWars comic books are a quest in of itself! Highly sought after!
I love BW Megatron, a bit more that his ancestor, G1 Megatron, he's just more evil and heck even has more charisma to him!
TO explain Beast Machines I like to think it derives from Megatron's ego. We'v seen he's full of himself and unlike G1 Megatron rarely puts any kind of faith or loyalty to his troops, always seeing them as simply expendable pawns for his own goals, I like to think whenever he talked about the Predacons it was all just propaganda, seeing himself as the only future for the Predacons, ut as he got more and more power he became more self absorbed, to the point that when he returned to Cybertron earlier then Primal's team, however much time had passed was enough time for Megatron to come to the conclusion that technological purity was the only way forward, a Cybertron devoid of individuality, of course with him being the exception, cause let's face it, who better to guide this cold Cybertron then Megatron.
really hoping they make a masterpiece figure of BW megatron. great episode again Chris.
james marsh I hope he is next after Dinobot.
Should be announced this year apparently, after Shadow Panther I should think.
It’s out
I would love to utilize David Kaye and Frank Welker to do a Megatron crossover series.
I like Beast Wars Megatron! Good for the spark, I always say! Yesss!
I know its low hanging fruit, basically ground level, but new basics video?
Yeeeesssssssssss
We must all spam YESSSSSSSS…in the comments
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
What's this? A beast wars megatron? YESSSSSSSSSS
Yyyeeeessss, yeeesss, yeeeesss
kay's megatron will rise again, yeeeess.....
Always loved Grapeface. It was hilarious as you ended the Beast Wars part, I said outloud in my office: "And that's the end of the story". You immediately said "his story continued...". I let out a whelp. Never was a fan of BM. Thanks for the great work!
It was at this moment that inferno knew he screwed up
I loved beast wars as a kid. I remember always wanting cheetor but never being able to find him in any stores lol
Damn David Kay just has that voice that SPEAKs modern Megatron other than Frank Welker
I just LOOOVE Beast wars Megatron!!!! One of my favorite villians of all time!!! I have always been an Optimus Prime Fan, but in Beast wars I never really liked Primal that much, but on the other hand MEGATRON... Was awsome!!! When I was a teenager in the 90´s I wanted him and the Predacons to win, instead of the Maximals.
Diego S So, you want him to kill and enslave millions of lives including your loved ones and be treated as a slave under his command?
Yesssssss.....
edward18517 Are you aware of a youtube channel out of fan produced Transformers Animated Season 4 episodes?
No, but, while an admirable effort, it would just make me want an official version more probably =(
I may have PTSD, but that is is a F#@king maximal!
David kaye needs to be recasted as megatron for the kingdom, ya know, the beast one
I know that Beast Wars was basically building up to the reveal that the conflict between the Maximals and Predacons was what inspired the Covenant of Primus, but I personally like to think that the later addition of Megatronus/The Fallen to the franchise means that he could’ve probably named himself after either him or G1 Megatron.
I'd live to see a throw down between Grimlock and This version of Megatron
That would be awesome! *YEEESSSSS*
"Behold! A refurbished ship with a trans- warp cell, a predacon control console, and best of all....a covenant of Primus. It was from these known tracks that I took my name, and how fitting since space and time are now mine to command!"
Absolutely, and unequivocally, YESSSSSSSS!
And then the War For Cybertron Trilogy happened and the “Yes” Rex is back
One word:
*YEEEEEES*
That's two words
Technically that’s three
Slight update from the future. The IDW comics gave him another name before he took on Megatron, Galavar.
yeesss, I've been waiting for this.
"Ah...yes....It seems that 'Hooks' has chosen wisely on a subject...Don't u agree?"
(All predacons shake their heads yes in agreement)
I'd love a remaster of the series with modern animation but a similar plot
I am going to say I was not disappointed of the amounts of YESSSS in the comments that I expected when I saw the thumbnail on my recommended list.
A video on beast wars Megatron awesome in the words of Megatron" yes yes !!!!!!"
1:49 *LIKE HIS RUBBER DUCKY!* 🦆
Take a shot every time BW Megatron says "Yesss"; two shots when he says "No". Your liver will not forgive you.
edit: Someone actually did a count on Megatron's catchphrases; he said "Yesss" 166 times and "No" 54 times.
Was really expecting him to say _yesssss_ for 10 minutes
Bw megatron will always be my number 1 megatron he just has so much personality, charisma and that awesome voice, the other megatrons from other series just feel like they're evil for the sake of being evil.
I grew up on gold plated T-Rex Megatron, it was a great time to be a kid.
7:25
Okay
This is actually sounds amazing
Only if i could read Japanese.
It's transformers legends japanese manga
Idea:
2 purple predacon T-rexes both lookjng eerily similar. One named gnashteeth, the other named galavar
They’re basically both running around being a problem till one dies and the other becomes beast wars megatron
The fans spend the whole time trying to figure out which one will be which
Brilliant.
