@@Devils_Lair_Comics While Frank did voice Megatron in G1 and Prime, and did a good job as both, he just doesn't have that marvelous and devilish voice Corey Burton delivers when he portrays his Megatron. At least for me
Animated, Prime, and BW/BM are the three best-written and most entertaining cartoon Megatrons to me. G1 established the character - but in terms of being great as a character, the IDW comics take G1 Megs to a new level. I never thought I'd see them write Megatron reforming and becoming an Autobot and make it actually work. I also love how Frank Welker voiced G1, Prime and TLK Megatron (as well as AOE Galvatron), but modified his voice enough that all three versions are totally distinct from one another. His talent as a performer is amazing.
For a malevolent leader with a god complex, Megatron has a lot of patience for Star Scream. I'm surprised he didn't kill him in the first episode of all Transformer series.
Megatron only tolerates Starscream because (in my opinion) Megatron knows that Starscream could be a pretty powerful guy if given the right circumstances but if Megatron is there to keep him in check and on the side of the Decepticons, Starscream never gets that chance so even if he left the Decepticons, he would be far too afraid of Megatron to do much.
Well if you ask me the idw g1 comics justified it pretty well. That Megatron has said that having someone as untrustworthy as Starscream as his second in command serves as a constant reminder for him to watch his back.
11:00 “...But when Orion Pax emerges, he is to be given every courtesy. And the first to address him as Optimus Prime...will have their voice box torn out.” -Megatron, TFP
I love his laugh in prime, his sarcasm, one liners, his voice is amazing. I love Megatron in prime. He is this type of evil that fits so well! I love Megatron!
"It takes more courage to suffer than it does to die." - megatron. "You have earned your place at the table....knockouts dissection table!" - megatron at his most ruthless. "Yes, I did forget something.....that predacons gloat too much!" - megatron (beast wars) "You never learn starscream. Your arrogance will trump your wits every time." - megatron at his most hypocritical. "The human factor did turn the tide....in the favor of my enemies!" - also megatron. Predaking: is it true!? That you ordered the destruction of my army!? Megatron (being a cunt): "indeed, and my biggest mistake was not seeing the extinction through." "Not only was I a champion in the gladiator pits of kaon for just my savage might, but also my cunning!" - megatron (gloating as usual) "The point is starscream, the only reason I allowed you to continue for this long was because I took a certain delight in following you and your string of failures. But now you've become tiresome, predictable, you've hit rock bottom!" - megatron about to execute starscream. Megatron: did you retrieve the relic? Knockout: no, master. Megatron: "then I strongly suggest you convince me of your continued usefulness by examining laserbeak, doctor." - megatron being a jerk to knockout. "...regaining my free will, even over a mangled and deficient frame is preferable to a waking life as your slave!" - megatron to unicron Knockout: please, release me from this absurd predicament (is trapped in a wall) Megatron: "no. You shall serve as a constant reminder of what happens to those who dare fail me." "I now understand the true meaning of oppression, and have thus lost the desire to inflict it." - megatron finally acknowledging his wrongdoings...too late.
Frank Welkers performance got better when he returned in Prime. Well he voice Megatron in the licence games for the first and second movie by Michael bay but he became much better in prime
Unfortunately, Starscream got to Orion Pax and called him Optimus Prime. If it weren’t for him, Orion would still be within the ranks of the Decepticons.
14:43 I loved this. Megatron knows Starscream's being so well. He knew that Starscream is always motivated by the thoughts of glory. He knew that the the clones would destroy each other to get it as nothing is more glorious than being the second in command of the decepticons only surpassed by being the leader. He knew that he could get in their heads
But it didn’t work, though. They were going to shoot him but something made them fall over? Idk what it was but Megatron’s plan just made them hesitate for a second.
Tbh the original Megatron was such a generic villain, but the TFP Megatron has everything a true Megatron needs. He is not completely evil, manipulative, a strong, furious and reckless warlord, yet respectful and honorable towards his loyal followers.
A bite late but I agree. Even when the writing fails him, the voice actor goes out of his way to make something out of it. Shame I can’t say the same for Optimus outside of a few exceptions. Cullen is automatically removed because it’s fricking Peter Cullen.
@@demonwolf570 It's a valid tactic. Instate one supreme power that no one wuld dare defy. Just think of the great emperors and pharaoes of old. Their empires only ended when they died and the cybertronians can live for MILIONS of years.
@@nataniel1002 You're right, having one person or group in control makes for an efficient system because whatever they want happens on the spot. However, what happens inevitably is that they become corrupted by such power and resort to seer oppression rather than being a stern leader. Which will lead to rebellions or protests, weakening the country and opening them up to being conquered. Sometimes a new group or person will successfully replace the old but cycle will repeat nonetheless. Look at how corrupted Mexico has been. Or how inefficient France is due to it's people's unrest in the past. I was just commenting on the hypocrisy of obtaining peace through tyranny.
@@demonwolf570 And the autobot method? Just look at your world today, extensive fredom has led to division , ineficency and even coruption.

Their cowardice and inability to do what must be done will continue to weaken us all! Lord Megatron will ligh the path to a new age!

@@nataniel1002 The spark will give the autobots the hope and willpower they need to persist through the hardships though! Magatron only seeks power for power's sake! He must not be allowed victory!
Not only did you try to pluck the dark energon from my chest,in a failed attempt to snuf my spark,but you also tried to raise your own undead warrior with it... It is no secret that you lost an arm in the proces,since you then had replaced.....
The fact is, Starscream, despite your treachery, I have allowed you to carry on this long because I took a certain delight in following your string of failures. But you finally become tiresome, predictable, you’ve hit rock bottom.
18:57 Megs speaks his true passion for his cause. 21:18 Megatron doesn't sugar coat or beat around the bush. Frank Welker is at his very best here as Megatron. Commend you Mr Welker for your very best character out the 1000 that you have voiced. Frank Welker's acting as Megatron as the blood thirsty war lord and Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime as the compassionate, gentle monarch of all good transformers will not be truly easily replaced when they retired from voice acting. They made these character who they are. Hope Hasbro knows this. Jake Tillman as OP in Cyberverse sounds at lot like a younger Peter Cullen, so they did understand how much of a mark Peter Cullen made as the character.
My two favorite quotes by Megatron are, “Because in the final analysis, I would happily wade across a river of corpses, chest-deep in rust and grease and engine oil, just to crush the spark of the last Autobot standing. And I would not do so simply as a means to an end. No. I'd do it, Prime, because it would give me pleasure.” and, “And the thing is, when those words were in my head I didn't think I meant them; but when they left my mouth, I realized that I did. If the world thinks you're a monster, what does it matter? The world is wrong. But when you start to think of yourself as a monster...”
Amd Sometimes We Agree With Megatron That Some Humans Are Just As Evil As He Is And Boy Abuse Doesnt Play Around So Yeah We Have To Stand Up To The Abusers And Be Like Megatron And SHOW THEM WHO'S BOSS
15:31 was always one of my favorite moments from Megatron. How casually he just admits that any assurance he could offer wouldn’t matter at the end of the day since he’d totally go back on it.
@@seamusilattimer8470 Wise. Starscream can’t lead a team. He only gloats about how much power he has when I’m not around. Yes, I’ve made my mistakes, but Starscream fails as a leader because he can’t do a single thing right.
I love how most of Megatron's greatest quotes were because of Starscream. How Megatron tolerated that conniving, backstabbing, lying traitor live for so long is beyond me. Maybe he loves beating Starscream up, or he enjoys seeing how stupid and entertaining he can be. Urban dictionary is right in calling Starscream "Megatron bitch" cause he is. Gotta love the original and Prime versions, their easily the best versions of the glorious decepticon ruler. "You couldn't lead a parade" is his best one ever.
@@justanothercommenterwithan9089 true. Starscream is clearly scared of Megatron, but he also idolized him as well as loaths him and wants to take over.
@@Rosewolf29 megatron is star screams entire world he's obsessed with megatron as much as megatron is with optimus. he cares less for ruling the decepticons than he does as usurping megatron.
Megatron comments in the original series that starscream is lucky the cause is more important than he is. Starscream is unreliable yes, but he is predictable, a brilliant scientist (even in the original series) and the 2nd most powerful decepticon in combat (in the movie, he won a FFA brawl featuring devastator), and can fly. - Megatron knows he is too useful to get rid of and Megatron knows he can control him by just yelling at him, or shooting him if he ever succeeds in taking over, so starscream is not a true threat, but a great asset.
From what I gather, _Prime_ Megatron is the Cybertronian equivalent of a 70- or 80-year-old man. So it's doubly impressive that he can still hold his own... and then some.
Laltluangliana Sailop yes, especially in the design department. Most of the bayformers are ugly asf. They deadass made Starscream look like a chicken, and I know he is one, but they really didn’t have to do him like that tho-
Laltluangliana Sailop yeah, it’s sad these shows only end up with 3 or less seasons because they’re good shows (design, plot, and animation-wise) yet underrated. I feel like the Bayverse didn’t utilize or design the characters as well as TF:Prime, the Bumblebee movie, and Cyberverse did.
Anyone else think Megatron keeps Starscream around despite his MANY betrayals because he's actually a bit proud of Starscream for his cunning plots and desire for power?
he keeps him around because Starscream keeps Megatron sharp and alert and while Scream tries to over throw megatron, no one else will, because start scream is trying it rn so if he kills start scream someone else will take his place someone megatron might not now how they would try to over throw him
My favourite part of that was directly after that when Starscream narrowly avoids having Shockwave gouge his eye out by playing off his backstabbing as the reason for their discovery of new cybermatter, Megatron just says ‘Excellent teamwork.’ right after Shockwave relents.
"I honed my skills in the pits of Kaon!" Every time I hear that name I instinctively misspell it as "K-on" in my head. I am unsure whether or not that makes Lord Megatron look less impressive, or even more awe-inspiring for surviving. :D
I think a reason why Megatron might keep starscream around is because Megatron can make it seem like he's too strong to overthrow, when really it's starscream's incompetence that prevents that. Starscream is harmless enough that he makes a great example for anyone who wants to topple him.
22:03 Does anyone else find it funny how Thundercracker is just standing there the entire time Megatron is beating up Starscream? He looks like he's kinda distracted by some thought of his.
Knockout: i live to serve lord megatron but what exactly does it do? Megatron: *Shoots At Knockout* Knockout: *flinches activating a shield* Megatron: now you know.. Knockout: i... I think I may have leaked fluids (forgot what exactly he said)
The different versions of Megatron have brought their own strengths and weaknesses. G1 is classic goofy villainy, animated had to survive on cunning alone for a loooong stretch of episodes, the final arc of Armada's character is a neat touch, and prime is chilling, powerful, and complex.
Fellow autocons Mr Nathaniel Winchester has done a great act of treason by hailing starscream instead of MEGATRON or god rise up and destroy the unloyal scrapheaps
@@Boom__6678 soundwave, iniciate the nemesis protocol... This is not a rescue, beside your great power you failed to destroy the autobots, YOU FAILED ME!.
Who's best Megatron? For me it's a close call between Animated and Prime. They're both badass, sound awesome, and kick serious autobot exhaust ports. However for me Animated takes best position, with Prime taking an EXTREMELY close second. This is partially because I was first introduced to Transformers Animated, and thus that version was the first one I knew.

So it's doubly impressive that he can still hold his own... and then some.
you forget that he was the champion of the gladiator pits on Kaon
@@DJ_TamTam i take him as around 59 equivalent to earth
I thought he was 75, thus the sound.
aren't transformers practically immortal in the aging sense i don't think they slow down with age (i would put him at 45ish or 60ish no inbetween)
Megatron was epic in TFP, but I grew up with David Kaye voicing him in the Unicron trilogy.
24:50 Great stuff.
Yes!! I'm the same way.
"Transform and rise up" sounds way better than just "DECEPTICONS ATTACK!!'
DECEPTICONS! TRANSFORM AND RISE UP!
AYE!
I thought he’d never ask!
Megatron’s TFP design is so beautiful that it makes me sad he was so dang ugly in the Micheal bay movies-
Laltluangliana Sailop yes, especially in the design department. Most of the bayformers are ugly asf. They deadass made Starscream look like a chicken, and I know he is one, but they really didn’t have to do him like that tho-
Laltluangliana Sailop yeah, it’s sad these shows only end up with 3 or less seasons because they’re good shows (design, plot, and animation-wise) yet underrated. I feel like the Bayverse didn’t utilize or design the characters as well as TF:Prime, the Bumblebee movie, and Cyberverse did.
Both The best from both Transformers Animated and Transformers Prime!
Personal opinion but I liked tf 2 and 3’s design but I also liked his prime design
Anyone else think Megatron keeps Starscream around despite his MANY betrayals because he's actually a bit proud of Starscream for his cunning plots and desire for power?
he keeps him around because Starscream keeps Megatron sharp and alert and while Scream tries to over throw megatron, no one else will, because start scream is trying it rn so if he kills start scream someone else will take his place someone megatron might not now how they would try to over throw him
“What was that?”
*”the sound of the tables turning”*
20:40 to 20:52 was the funniest part
"I'm thinking..."
Lmao
My favourite part of that was directly after that when Starscream narrowly avoids having Shockwave gouge his eye out by playing off his backstabbing as the reason for their discovery of new cybermatter,
Megatron just says ‘Excellent teamwork.’ right after Shockwave relents.
You are a freak
I died there! XD
27:24 *"This will be our last stand."*
It gives me chills every time i hear it
"I honed my skills in the pits of Kaon!"
Every time I hear that name I instinctively misspell it as "K-on" in my head.
I am unsure whether or not that makes Lord Megatron look less impressive, or even more awe-inspiring for surviving. :D
I spell it as Chaon.
K-on is?
@@albertschoise8091 probably some weird slang for "killing on"
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 haha wow nice one
i spelt it as khion
3:42
And to think I once believed this quote couldn’t get a better remaster
How fortunate I was wrong
‘megatron, today you answer you crimes against cybertron, and against humanity. one shall stand?”
Tfp Megatron was terrifying but awesome
“Do you have any notion of the consequences of your blunder?!”
- TFP Megatron
22 percent of this video is megs shouting at prime
78 percent is megs shouting at starscream
lol
The other 3% is his margin of error, when he yells at both ;)
I think a reason why Megatron might keep starscream around is because Megatron can make it seem like he's too strong to overthrow, when really it's starscream's incompetence that prevents that. Starscream is harmless enough that he makes a great example for anyone who wants to topple him.
27:13 to 27:30 best quote of Megatron. I wish he can at least win against the Autobots at least once.
Don't forget- he won the War on Cybertron. All Hail Megatron
There's the Shattered Glass universe
He kind of won in a way in the siege trilogy
From a certain point of view
ssn 2 tfp
He actually won the War For Cybertron, both games and series.
I feel like Frank Welker just smiles for everything he says as Megatron.
Can we take a moment and appreciate transformers prime? such an amazing series
22:03 Does anyone else find it funny how Thundercracker is just standing there the entire time Megatron is beating up Starscream? He looks like he's kinda distracted by some thought of his.
I like how blunt Transformers Prime Megatron is with his intentions.
1:43 has to been some sort of Green Lantern shit
Lol! Well, obviously he has a green lantern ring. See purple griffin.
No one will take that ring away from Lord Megatron though XD
24:26 love that part
*"for if speaking truth is a deception then we're GLADLY guilty!"*
"Ultra Magnus, you are no Optimus Prime"
Gotta love that respect for his Arch Nemesis.
Megatron gets some sadistic pleasure out of watching Starscream fail. That explains a lot.
“Nobody summons Megatron!”
*gets summoned a lot, actually.. XD*
Unicron: *Then it pleases me to be the first.*
State your business!
Unicron: Allow me to introduce myself
their defenses are broken , let the slaughter begin !
16:28 "do not take me for a fool starscream" he says as his eyes are wonky
"How is it that you put it, Optimus? I could not have allowed this to end otherwise?"-Megatron
18:46 is PERFECT
The best quote ever:
Yeeessssssss
-Megatron
"You are either lying or you're stupid" is one of my favourites.
You ought to put in Megatron’s quotes from Beast Wars/Machines and War/Fall of Cybertron too.
Technically a different character though i do prefer him.
Beast wars megatron is a completely separate character though
tfp megatron is my favourite but i reall like the ommedy from war for cybertron
Knockout: i live to serve lord megatron but what exactly does it do?
Megatron: *Shoots At Knockout*
Knockout: *flinches activating a shield*
Megatron: now you know..
Knockout: i... I think I may have leaked fluids (forgot what exactly he said)
I think I leaked a little transmission fluid.
3:26 How does megatron not feel that?
The different versions of Megatron have brought their own strengths and weaknesses. G1 is classic goofy villainy, animated had to survive on cunning alone for a loooong stretch of episodes, the final arc of Armada's character is a neat touch, and prime is chilling, powerful, and complex.
Where's Frank Welker When I Need Him.
22:32 listen to that without looking, and tell me if you thought that was from the Prime show
Well.. both Frank Welker.. so..
@@a_diamond its the tone of the voice basically
Out of all the Transformer villains, Megatron is the best.
To be fair, all the others (aside from Unicron and the occasional human villain or Quintesson) work for him
Quote about clones -> Clip with clones
:) I like what you did there.
Joseph Simpson is that animated or prime you mean
14:00 - 14:24
Joseph Simpson so both i was not sure if you meant a specific one
Starscream: What was that?
Megatron: The sound of the tables turning.
pretty nice that megatron said that the tables are turning
Fellow autocons Mr Nathaniel Winchester has done a great act of treason by hailing starscream instead of MEGATRON or god rise up and destroy the unloyal scrapheaps
Should’ve added
“Because I now know the true meaning of oppression, I have thus lost my taste for inflicting it”
Just a list of a few TFA moments for… reasons…
1:17, 3:22, 4:23, 5:04, 6:16, 7:04, 8:56, 11:45, 13:01, 19:14
for reasons, huh
@@callmefranordie >:[[[[[[[[[
15:00 When my enemies think they have me outnumbered but I have a knockback stick.
Reeeeeeeeeeaaaalllly starscream, megatron is hilarious
What the hell?! Why is there more hatred towards Starscream than there is towards Optimus
Probably considers Optimus a worthy adversary while Starscream is a scheming backstabber
optimus may be his archenemy but Starscream’s just dumb
He doesn't hate Optimus, Optimus is just in his way..
@@araknidude and stabby. Don't forget stabby ;)
Can you blame him?
All hail Lord Megatron.
Say what you will about TFA, that Megatron was one of the only ones who didn't put up with Starscream's crap and would kill him every chance he gets.
What about gen1?
@@albertschoise8091 Dude, He didn't do any shit about it.
16:29 those eyes
Eyes of a mad man
He is the only villain that I can love so much as I hate him
My favorite is 5:36 XD
Really Starscream!?
9:58 "My foot! It's cucked"
Love his catchphrase 0:06
18:54 that’s a really good quote right there
22:37 Starscream: Really bro? 😂😂😂😂😂
"I've heard it said that we only gain wisdom through suffering-"
"-and tonight I intend to make you very wise."
Tfa Megatron was great there's no question but Prime Megatron just had that something that that version didn't.
Laltluangliana Sailop yeah
I started to miss megatron's quotes from the games.
"I am the Dominator, I am the Destroyer, I am Megatron "
@@Boom__6678 "I will not be denied"
@@Boom__6678 soundwave, iniciate the nemesis protocol...
This is not a rescue, beside your great power you failed to destroy the autobots, YOU FAILED ME!.
@@zathuramon WFC and FOC were masterpieces
@@zathuramon i feel sorry for trypticon
Who's best Megatron? For me it's a close call between Animated and Prime. They're both badass, sound awesome, and kick serious autobot exhaust ports. However for me Animated takes best position, with Prime taking an EXTREMELY close second. This is partially because I was first introduced to Transformers Animated, and thus that version was the first one I knew.
19:10 “Laugh Now Child, I will show you true fear” that Delivery from Corey Burton is Darth Vader Levels of terrifying
