DECEPTICONS TRANSFORM AND RISE UP!
I hope you like this new style of the ranking videos with funny clips added. I plan to keep this quality up going forward!
I like the extra clips it spices up the video
I for one certainly do, you must've had a lot of fun picking out those clips
@@scatterbrain8764 I figured if i couldn't use all the quotes everyone suggested, then I could use them throughout the video!
@@ComodinCamsomeday soon can you Do Optimus Prime Ranking 2.0
The Sharkticon Megatron design comes from the book Transformers Retribution it's a really good read if you want to give it a go.
Megatron rarely has a bad design. My favorites are definitely from TFA( both pre and post-crash land), TFP, DOTM, and TLK.
In term of fusion cannon earth spark takes the win
I feel initially we all hated the idea of DOTM Megs turning into a truck, but I'm so glad that it grew on everyone and is actually a GOATED design because I can at least give the production team props for doing something bold and different with the character, even if he wasn't in the movie that much.
@@je2409if you think about it it makes sense considering he was on the run as a fugitive since the Egypt battle and had no other choice nor enough energon to handle a mode like another jet or tank. I think it also symbolizes a weaker and more defeated Megatron considering he is badly wounded and turning into an Earth vehicle takes away that Cybertronian pride he always had, I mean in the previous film he said something like “It’s time for the world to know our presence, no more disguises!”
Are you insane? None of the Bayformers designs look good. Especially what they are trying to pass off as "Megatron". It's just a load of crumpled up tinfoil.
@@jackdubz4247nah, man, I get disliking DOTM(certainly ain’t for everyone), but holy shit TLK has an incredible design for him. Megatron is one of the few deceptions that makes sense to be all gray lol. Plus, plenty of Bayformer designs are actually sick. You saying that is pretty dumb
41:44 I actually like the idea of Megatron not having many vehicle parts showing. Kinda like he's ashamed to have to be an human vehicle and hide from the Autobots due to his injuries. Like the cloak tops it all off too as this is a Megatron at his lowest of lows
All hail Megatron
Awww, Hell! It's Megatron!
The TFP Megatron Design will Forever be the Definitive Version in my Childhood!
Animated Megatron will always be my favourite. It takes the original G1 design and amplifies it in all the right areas - the Fusion Cannon especially. I also really like his helicopter mode, and how he uses the blades from it as a pair of swords in the show.
I've also noticed you're sounding a lot more energetic lately, especially compared to your first attempt at this tier list. It's great to have you back!
Plus he orchestrated everything in season 1 with nothing but his head
Possible hot take:
G1 Megatron looks like tin man wearing metal military armor with a big helmet.
2007 Megatron looks like a tin man with really messy hair in a barbed-wire onesie.
That made no sense
Robots in Disguise is actually a G1 continuity cartoon set during the Beast Era, and that "Megatron" is actually a separate character called Gigatron.
The japanese version of the show is, but the American version is a new universe
@@Cdr2002 the "American version" is a dubbed and heavily butchered rerelease, not unlike Robotech to Macross. And I give little to no validation to it.
@@TheGundamsword K. It’s still official canon and your weeb elitism doesn’t change that. Thanks for letting me know that I’m better off blocking you and not wasting my time
@@Cdr2002 It's not elitism to have no respect for butchering someone else's work.
@@TheGundamsword It is elitism to claim that an official version of a show has no grounds simply because it's different from it's Japanese version.
Michael Bay’s Megatron will always be my favorite as I was introduced to transformers via the 2007 movie, when I was 6 years old. I love his design in all of the movies, especially the first three. He looks and sounds like a beast and I love it! It actually makes me terrified of him😅
Yea Michael bay was one of the few people who could make decepticons menacing
@foxyking-2108
Epps: "why do deceptions always get the good shit?"
Yeah agreed I grew up with them and was first introduced to them with that movie so I love it
I kinda like it when you can't tell what a transformer changes into. Tbh when I see transformers I don't see them as a singular fixed thing, but an expressive individual with a general theme that reflects how it feels in the long term or short term, like a person's fashion reflecting their mood and personality
And TFP Megs has always been my favourite out of favouritism, while most IDE Megs designs always left me in awe, but now tfes Megs just has me with his vibes as well as personality. Everything just goes together so well, I love his character
I wish Earth Spark's Megatron was TFP Megatron that would been awesome how he tries to redeem himself and become leader of Autobots since Optimus is gone Autobots needed a new leader Megatron could lead them as he sees errors of his past
True but it wouldn't fit well
Wouldn’t really fit him tbh, TFP’s Megatron was kind of a huge menace lmao and the Autobots would definitely have refused him replacing Optimus of all people lol.
They barely got along even when they were allies against Unicorn and none of them were surprised that he betrayed them after season 1 ended xD
@@42Kurama he did go into exile and never returned he wouldn't fit all the things megatron did the world's destroyed all the death he was to much of a villain to be allowed on the winning side it's better that way a true villain never gets to become a hero
It's better this way TFP megatron is no hero and would never be one
I think Earthspark Megatron’s redemption works mainly because we don’t see much (if any) of his worst crimes, so we don’t have heavy atrocities lingering over his presence. Prime Megatron, though? We have three whole seasons to see him be a brutal warlord attempting to effectively raze Earth to nothing. IDW Megatron managed to balance this out because the medium of comics offered him more time and space to redeem himself - a TV show doesn’t have this extent of freedom.
5:18 OH MY GOD THAT THING IS ADOREABLE! HOW COULD YOU NOT PUT THAT IN ALL HAIL?
THAT’S WHAT *_I_* WAS THINKIIING
sup engie lol
Megatron is up there with Soundwave with rarely ever having a bad design. My top 5 are Prime, G1, 1st Bayverse movie (controversial choice, I know), Armada and Animated.
I would argue Megatron is probably the most fun TF character to re-design. While most characters have core elements kept between iterations (Optimus, Starscream, Shockwave just to name a few), Meg has been just about everything. It was only until TFA Megatron returned to the classic Grey/Silver Bucket head look. Even then, they vary drastically.
25:15 The best Megatron ever, and no one can change my mind.
I just don't know who can have a problem with this design.
Tho I think the Head moving seems too much like pop no really you'd think it'll fall of
We can agree Megatron's reaction to prime slashing a huge rock was: by primus THIS IS THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN
25:24 - Me whenever Prime Megatron's design is praised...
honestly, other than Starscream, i think the Prime designs were the best. this especially when it came to Predaking
Prime Megatron and Animated Megatron's design are something else.
I grew up with the Transformers Michael Bay movies and Transformers Prime, so they're my favorite versions of him. I honestly really like his Last Knight appearance. But Transformers Prime Megatron is perfect. I also oddly really like his Sharkticon Beast Hunter look. In my head Fusion Canon, I imagine that's him after he exiles himself and he wants nothing to do with his Decepticon past, so he's no longer using his fusion cannon and is now hunting what's left of the Quintessons. Anyways, from the bit I know of Transformers Animated, I could see why people really like that version of Megatron. He may not have Frank Welker voicing him but he sounds absolutely intimidating! I haven't seen Earth Spark, nor do I think I ever will. But Megatron looks better than I thought and he even looks better than Optimus in that series.
Same for TFP!!!
Imo the Ratchet and Megatron fusion should be S tier because it itself is an iconic design for what it did for both characters
I'd have been more curious if they given it an altmode.
We need a new show like prime with amazing animation and great characters
Find Transformers Earthspark
@@Lachie-bk5ppearthspark is a great show with great characters and great animation, but i wouldn’t compare it with Prime. Like in terms of quality…there both up there, but in terms of story and tone…there completely different.
They story is slow
Earthspark: hey!
I’d love for them to do a tv show focusing on the Autobots, despondent and tired of fighting the war, evacuating to Earth and hiding out.
From there they become inspired to fight again because of humanity and finding beauty in Earth when the Decepticons attack.
I think it would be a really cool juxtaposition and subversion on tropes where aliens from another world become inspired to fight and live again by seeing our planet instead of hating it first thing. Especially when a part of humanity today carries a cynical view on our world. While an extraterrestrial civilization finds hope instead of despair.
I know the color palate is crazy but I grew up with Cybertron Megatron so for me that one will always hold a special place in my heart. Granted his Galvatron colors are sooooo much better, I still love the design as a whole.
The Human Megatron from IDW was from a brief storyline where one of the crew of the Lost Light (the missionary ship that Megatron was sentenced to serve on as part of a legal loophole he found to save himself from execution after the war) managed to generate an entire copy of a sitcom version of Earth that was trailing their ship and causing problems. To resolve it, they had to send down holomatter avatars (basically transformers in this series could create a solid projection of a human avatar to interact with civilians) and this old man was Megatrons.
I would have made him look like a commander and prime well how his human look was in animated but with army style pants and a helmet actually they can use a human autobots and human decepticons as holograms with the whole desguise
@@genesismultiverse4896 this was after he had surrendered to the autobots and was sentenced to serve as captain on the Lost Light. He was completely, utterly defeated at this point. He was given a tainted stock of energon as his rations due to how dangerous he was, and had no confidence whatsoever in himself or his dogma. He was being hunted by those who used to look up to him, and leading those who were incompetent and despised him.
The avatar reflects its owner, and at this point Megs was at his lowest.
His arc was learning his worth, and realizing the consequences of his actions. Highly recommend
@@christopheraustin5915 so in that case he should look like a homeless person
@@genesismultiverse4896 I cannot stress this enough: IDW Megatron puts himself through a penance spanning multiple timelines and in the end he says “it’s not enough”
@@christopheraustin5915 yeah if I had a nickel for how much it's hard to believe Megatron didn't just go offline I would be rich and would just be amazed since he is kinda like kratos in turn of redemption
Don’t know if someone’s already pointed this out, but, the “barbed wire” is actually pinstriping I’m pretty sure. It’s something that’s done in car modding/decoration.
My personal favorite Megatron design will always be G1, Beast Wars, Armada, Animated, IDW, and Prime. I do hope in the future we get see an original Megatron design in future Transformers cartoon if Hasbro allows it.
Me too FOC and Earthspark Megatron
Bishoujo Megatron is kinda sweet tbf. I think it started with G1, there was a manga which saw Starscream in the body of a human female and Hasbro thought; that actually could work... Slipstream is a clone of Starscream when we met her first in animation after she debuted in WFC as an MP character
I would have been disappointed if you didn’t rank Bishoujo Megatron
Apparently the only reason they made a tiny Energon Megatron is to "test the waters" to see if people actually WANT Energon figures, since they already represented Cybertron and Armada.
I'm definitely grabbing this first chance I get. Energon is honestly just one of the classics for me.
I honestly think the original G1 show version of Megatron is still my favourite after viewing all of these. It's so simple yet so effective at conveying a menacing and imposing figure.
Transformers One focuses on Megatron and Optimus before the war when He Megatron was a gladiator who scavenged for parts from defeated foes, the beginning movie of him and the end will more than likely change, but since this is his official origin now I say "All hail Megatron".
You should look at the 3rd party toy MT-01 Monocrat Megatank. It's what a 3rd party company assumes megatron would've looked like in Bumblebee, and it looks fantastic
25:53 Sharkticon Megatron is in fact from the novel Transformers Retribution (the third in the aligned novel series), in it Megatron gets the Sharkticon Matrix of Leadership from the Quintessons and tries to use it to enslave the Sharkticons and conquer Cybertron with them
1: Dudes I love Megatron's 1st transformation in Transformers: Earth Spark. It's not just him rearranging and shifting around parts or pulling things out of hammerspace, he straight-up turned inside out. Coming out of his disguise. The next Transformers thing needs to do their changes like that.
And 2: While I'm one of the few smart people who actually hopes that Megatron never shows up in the remake films, cuz that kind of thing was the problem with all the live action X-Men and Fantastic Four films (Except for the first one of both, I mean the 1994 one for Fantastic Four), if they were to bring him into those; they need to use Animated Megatron for the foundation.
You forgot the universal studios ride version which is a combination of revenge of the fallen and dark of the moon
I always liked the Cybertron Megatron, I thought he looked really cool. and when he became Galvatron and fought Grimlock, the line "I will take your weapon and disgrace you with it." That's the moment he became my favorite
Well now we need an updated Galvatron tier list
Galvatron is a pale imitator king. Megatron is the one and only mechanized "Once and Future King."
Only a Prime can kill a prime. The Bayverse has Optimus' Prime head count at three. Megs killed Optimus and kicked Sentinels hat off. The math don't lie.
PostScript:
Megatron would make an excellent Dread Pirate Roberts.
5:46 a premonition to Beast Wars.
Duuude! This video came exactly when I need interesting content!
I hope Transformers: Animated gets a continuation sometime in the future especially since shows like Samurai Jack and soon X-Men (1992) got another season years after they'd ended
For me TFP Megatron is my favorite. He looks like a megatron I would imagine and he looks much more menacing than any other megatron design.
Very well done list! Can’t wait for more epic content from this channel!
This was an Amazing tier list.
Awesome Video!
great job about Ranking EVERY Megatron Design From Worst To Best from Transformers
For the The last knight megatron, the "how" can be explained by the Unique toys Dragoon that is just an engineering masterpiece
Tbf, in Superlink (Japanese Energon), the version of the character we call “Megatron” was called Galvatron, even prior to the repaint they changed that for the English dub, I think it’s due to trademark reasons, or smth like that.
I loved Prime, but I dropped out of RiD and two episodes of Cyberverse wasn't enough to pull me back. However, that one shot of Megatron attacking by using his helicopter form as a Beyblade has peaked my interest EarthSpark.
My main issue with the FoC design is the pointy, almost flat/polygonal body with a very round bucket head
29:17
Always loved Cybertron's look of Megatron.
I have a soft spot for Cybertron Megatron because he was the first Megatron I was introduced to. But my all time favourite is probably TLK
If we're talking favorite Megatrons by design it might not take the top spot, but TFA's Megatron will always have the best voice in my opinion. And its not even the original VA for the character!
23:45 The logic behind it is basically for a time, Swerve's Holomatter Avatar Projector was on the fritz and he was dying.
He ended up somehow able to materialize a planet with his projector, it being like Earth but with things basically being a sitcom. Megatron, Rodimus, Nautica and others went to this Swerve-Earth (Swearth), and to blend in, they used their Holomatter Avatars for this, with Megatron being in that humanoid look
Sorry for bothering with the question, but could you activate the subtitles?
They should be already, I don’t know what’s happened, sorry about that I’ll try and resolve it. CZcams has disabled timestamps for me too
@@ComodinCam thanks bro
I dont know how this sounds but the live action decepticons sort of gave me the vibe of predatory animals whereas the autobots look more familiar. In the first live action movie megatrons head resembled the mandibles of a spider instead of the helmet we're used to in other transformers media.
Human Megatron is a holomatter (solid light) avatar. In the More Than Meets The Eye comics the crew of the Lost Light used them to mingle among smaller lifeforms. You know, 'cause Transformers are gigantic. Supposedly the avatar adapts its form from its user's psyche, so it was partially passed as a joke when Tailgate's avatar became a baby, Whirl became a Jinx-esque psychotic teen girl and Cyclonus was a high class lady.
I was really looking forward to seeing some fan design rankings
You gotta admit, the Sega Megatron is very clever.
46:50
My brother in all spark you're just digging yourself into a deeper hole :I
Famous quote from Megatron: *YES*
Megatron's design is always a blast. While he has his igonic elements (fusion canon, bucket head, large and imposing, etc), he is never the same. This is a rather cold point to discuss at this point, but seeing all the departures, reinventions, and fresh takes on the same guy is always fun to see.
Which is why alot of modern Megs being edits of the evergreen design is kind of disappointing (thank you Earthspark and BBM Concept)
Earthspark Megatron makes me think a V22 Osprey could make an awesome megatron model.
G1 right arm cannon. A menacing cape of rotor blades from one engine, the other forming a big bulky sword in his left hand
Transformed, a V22 with a massive underslung cannon, maybe even minicons strapped under the wings like rocket pods as extra weapons. One ending up being shoulder or back mounted, the other left forearm.
Had that GI Joe Megatron and you justvsparked a core memory. Damn I miss that one.
Ranking every Battletrap design would be extremly intresting
My favourite Megatron design is Armada Megatron (yes, nostalgia because he was the version I was introduced to as a child, but even now I find him to be the best and most fitting design for Megatron), followed by Energon Megatron. Armada Megatron is like a brutal warlord while Energon Megatron looks more like conquering king or emperor and I love both. I don't actually like the G1 version of Megatron at all because the alt mode just seems so lacking (as opposed to a tank or a gunship which both evoke such a sense of power and brute force...) and the robot mode is kinda bland.
IMO, all of the comic designs of Megatron that were shown are goated.
Beast wars, Megatron.
Transformers, Terrorize!
My favorite is the TransMetal Megatron, which rocks the metallic purple. His beast mode as a t-rex can fly, and the robot mode has the tail energy canon. The final season has him as a red dragon after merging sparks with his ancestor self. It's okay for what it was in the early 2000s.
my favorite megatron designs are the g1 cartoon design, prime, rid 2015, cyberverse, and armada
TFP, TLK, TFA and Earthspark are my favorite designs.
I like the l brutality that Earthspark Megs can bring. That spinny helicopter slam he hit Skywarp with? *chefs kiss* Perfection. (I also like how he sounds Russian)
I love Corey Burton, Hugo weaving, and frank welker Megatron
I kinda want see the Return of Convoy Megatron design as a main design with an M1 Abrams alt mode for a movie or a toy.
I feel like the transformers universe toy was a prototype for the WFC Megatron we got.
Definitely a three way tie for me between G1 Megatron design,Bumblebee movie Megatron design, and Prime Megatron design
i wonder what megatron would look like as a combination of g1 and prime, also as a combination of prime and cyberverse
Earthspark has the best fusion cannon design
Change my mind
Some background info about some of the stuff you seemed curious about:
7:45 The cancelled bomber Megatron was a redeco of G2 Dreadwing. The mold was later used for the character BB from Beast Wars II. The show was never brought over here, though there is a subbed version of it you can find online. I wouldn't recommend it. 😅
25:50 Sharkticon Megatron is from a novel called Transformers: Retribution. Absorbing the "Decepticon Matrix", which is a Quintesson ploy, he gains a power up and Sharkticon features. It's a pretty decent read.
Other thoughts:
19:30 Real shame we never got this. I'm a huge Beast Machines fan, and any nods to it in later media is a blessing.
34:00 Oooh, horrendous. Gotta keep an eye out for one of these.
It's great to see Earthspark getting some love, even in just this small context. I dunno if it's just cuz this is the first time I've been caught up with a TF show while it was airing, but it looks like it gets a lot of flak, not all of it deserved. I'm looking forward to season 2.
fun fact , the tank attached to energon megatron is armada megatron alt-mode, that alone puts him up to "i would have waited a eternity for this" for me
You have some awesome sisters for getting you all the Transformers skins!
I would have put the Titan's Returnshow Megatron higher since his alt form is an awesome laser rifle that optimus uses.
If I remember correctly both WFC and Fall of Cybertron are part of the aligned continuity
excellent tier list and work tracking down all the info. theres a cpl in here ive never seen before.
*1:37* Megatron: now that I trained elephants to do as I said I would conquer the WORLD!!
the sharckticon one was from a VERY strange story from the books, it had, like, dark matrixes and executing prisoners & stuff
Great video, thanks a lot!👊
Megatron from transformers prime is arguably the greatest fictional villian ever.
23:00 does anyone know what specific run do I have to look for to see more of this Megatron, I'd like to see if I can buy the comic.
The sharkticon tfp version was featured in one of the tfp prequels after transformers exodus
Thanks for taking my suggestion of “Such heroic nonsense”!
Nice video bro
I like how Megatron tends to get some more major changes to his look compared to Optimus who stays mostly the same.
Also the first live action movie and TFP not giving him an Earth alternate mode because he’s too proud of being Cybertronian and hates humanity was a great addition to his character.
I love this tier list and agree with your choices. I do love G1 version and the Prime version. The new studio series looks epic. My wallet will be taking a hit.
Mark’s joker laugh just can’t be beat.
I remember as a kid when I won a dual pack of TF Universe G1 Optimus and G2 Megatron in a raffle. Don't think I ever had a happier moment in my life, loved the hell out of both of them.
25:50
There actually WAS a storyline where this happened. In the book, Transformers Retribution, Megatron takes upon him the false Matrix of Leadership that the Quintessons made, and it transforms him into a Sharkticon. This toy is a representation of what happened in that book.
W he's getting respect again
Cybertron (Goth) Megatron's car mode was inspired by the Asurada GSX from Future GPX Cyber Formula
You missed out two designs from the adult anime Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, they did two Megatron Parodies/designs in S1E7 Trans-Homers
Someone’s already probably explained Meg’s human form in his LL/MTMTE appearance, but basically a giant earth started tagging behind the Lost Light, Making everyone realize that Swerve was missing and a whole team of bots went to the earth (which is a holoform) to find Swerve. His cane is a really interesting design choice, maybe a stand-in for his canon?
Best voice goes to the war of cybertron Megatron VA. Man was born to voice that character.
Woah, where did you find the RiD/unicron trilogy cartoons with such a good video quality?
And, yeah...Armada Megs for the win
6:37 we did a get a toy of that design
i should be doing my homework that my teacher gave us before winter break but i watch this instead and my mom is in the next room to mine. In short my mum did not caught me and he put my fav design (rotf) in all hail Megs list
25:55 yes. There was. When he gained control over Sharkticons ( in the books ). He used their own matrix and alt-mode to blend in. So this mode is not only canon, it existed
25:45 For the entire month of December, 2013 my entire family knew how badly I wanted the TFP Beast Hunters Voyager class Ultra Magnus. SO when I opened my gift, I opened it backwards and saw the ultra magnus product shots and was STOKED.....then I flipped it around to the front and it was actually the Sharticon Megatron figure. The Magnus photos on the back were just the "ALSO AVALIABLE/SOLD SEPARATELY" type of promo. While I was kinda dissapointed, I had never owned a TFP mold megatron and the figure itself is cool. In my 10yr old mind, I now owned the Predacons Rising Unicron possessed Megatron because of how dark and weird the design was to me LMAO
When I think of the name of Megatron, I only see Three Designs
Transformers Prime, Revenge of the Fallen, and G1
So those are my favorite designs of Megatron ❗️
