- Transformers G1 IDW Comics story Megatron will now be uncovered on this channel. What happens when the little guy decides to take a stand for a justifiable cause? What does it take for a person to snap? How much despair does it take for a mind to finally fracture? These are the twisted questions that Megatron has set out to answer, to show a corrupt government system that even an ordinary man like himself is only 1 bad day away from sheer insanity. What's going on everybody my name is RBG and welcome to my newly introduced segment The Transformers IDW G1 Continuity. This is something I've been wanting to cover for a while now and with the positive reception we've been getting from our Transformers Movie Universe History show I figured why not up the anty and further explore the lore. And what better way to do so than to go back to the beginning where things were just taking off in their rawest form.

So here is my new segment. I hope it'll build a space bridge that will bring the old and new community together as 1. I wanted to get this out faster but was still working on touching up my recording studio so if the audio sounds a little different then that's why. But anyways I appreciate all the love and support you guys bring these videos. If you like this segment and want to see more make sure to like and share this 1 as much as possible. #TillAllGamersR1
RandomBlackGamer I can't wait for bumblebee story next can u do barricade
RandomBlackGamer Please do Drift please
We'll get there eventually. I'm planning on doing the stories chronologically.
RandomBlackGamer Sweet good to know man
RandomBlackGamer you have way too much making theses and i have way too much fun watching them lol thanks bro
Dropping a Megatron origin movie would be awesome, seeing what they did with Bumblebee. The movies never portray him as a hero.
Travis Knight? Please listen to this guy!
Ya but the Bumblebee movie was absolute garbage and like it was made for 8 year olds. The opening scene on Cybertron was sick, the rest of the movie was a joke & cringefest.
Yes a standalone villain like venom, joker, and morbius would be amazing
A movie that goes into megatrons back story and he has his g1 look id watch that hell yeah
@@vincer9960 lol, dang and here I thought it was actually good. Bit then again I did not grow up watching g1. Beast wars was my actual introduction to transformers. I have been binging all the series lately to understand it more including the japanese series.... now I need to start reading the comins or watching reviews of them on youtube like this video here.... 👍
The one time starscream doesnt dissapoint megatron lol
He must really love that fusion cannon to keep him around so much
Starscreme can be competent if he is not trying to overtrough Megatron. Wich sadley is pretty much all the time.
"I've heard it said that we only gain wisdom through suffering. I plan to make you very wise."
That line just screams Megatron.
This. This right here is a story worthy of a series or film
Hopefully the success of Bumblebee movie will allow for Megatron film.
That can be said for most of the IDW Transformers comics
Then you should be happy because Hasbro confirmed a Netflix series during the War for Cybertron and before
LOL if it wasn't for the SiFi robot like setting, this store if turned into a movie would be called Oscar Bait.
I read all the comics of "Megatron Origin", and I think the plot is a masterpiece, this should be a movie
When you read the IDW transformers comics run from start to Finish in a chronological order, you realized that Megatron was the main character of the series.
Yeah
this has to be the greatest origin of Megatron.
awesome job dude, this vid was amazing
Thanks man. The writers did an excellent job with this incarnation.
i truly love the IDW comics, they give every character great development, especially Megatron.
i wish they would make animated movies like they do for the New 52 movies
ZEADPOOL1991 That would be awesome to see. I'd love it done in the g1 animation style.
the best part is that he is killing cy-kill from gobots
I'm probably going to sound stupid, but I'd like to believe that both Optimus and Megatron are both two sides of human nature. I don't know if y'all think that, too, but...that's just my thoughts.
Toxic Power & Compassionate Love..... deep down mega tron wanted someone to understand him.
One is bringing change through acceptance, the other through hate.
Two sides that you could describe as two central concepts of humanity.
@@justsomewritingfan2202 They share a lot with Magneto and Professor X
Well it _is_ written by humans so you're not that far off lol
Why? Please reply to me!
Excellent. And nice Soundwave. Before this, in flashback, while at a bar with Impactor, a fight broke out and Megatron was arrested. While in custody he was beaten by Whirl and a few goons. It took only ONE BAD DAY to turn a pacifist into a warlord.
Sometimes lives and history itself do turn on a dime..
It was also the day where orion pax and megs first met
trence5 damn Senate made Whirl and other Bots do their dirty work. Any emerging threat to their power and they sought to silence them.
Little did they realize that their attempt to kill Megatron ultimately sealed their fates and guaranteed their own destruction.
That reminds me of a quote from Punisher to Daredevil "You think your some saint because you where that suit your a hero well you ain't you're just one bad bay from becoming me"
Actually, there were at least TWO bad days: the mine closure day + the Whirl beat-down day. We don't know how many days Megs spent considering non-violent protest, nor how many days he was in jail before he was released to go to that bar. He may have had some more bad days in jail.
All he wanted to do was make changes. It’s too bad he went mad and let that madness drive him to use more ruthless methods of doing so.
It's like Prime later on in the series said something along the lines off "You showed us the way. It is not yet too late for you to become the leader you could have been..."
Holden Greenhalgh blame the Senate for Megatron’s madness.
Megatron initially wanted to make changes to Cybertron’s society through non-violent means, which ultimately would’ve stripped the corrupt Senate of their power.
Seeing that Megatron was gonna be a threat to their reign, the Senate ordered an Autobot that worked directly for them, Whirl, to kill him after he was arrested and in police custody (Megatron actually didn’t do anything, a friend of his brutalized two military cadets and he was arrested just for being associated with him). While beating his helpless prisoner, Whirl told Megatron that it didn’t matter if he died and that nobody cared about him.
Whirl was caught in the act and restrained before he could finish Megatron off, as he was being set free due to an eyewitness testimony saying he was not involved in the beating his friend gave to those cadets. While Megatron wasn’t killed, the psychological damage had been done. As his sense of injustice and powerlessness made him realize that a more forceful approach was required in order to change society.
So yeah, Megatron was a good person. But unfortunately the corrupt society he sought to change ended up changing him for the worst when they tried to silence him. The Senate ultimately created their own destruction.
@@Laserbeak316 ha that's gruesomely hilarious
I agree. I also think that Megatron (much like the Joker in Batman), is too aware of his actions to be insane in the sense of being mentally ill. Both Megatron and Joker are fully aware of the enormous chaos, destruction and damage that they cause, as well as the massively heinous nature of these acts. The difference between Optimus Prime and Megatron (and Batman and Joker actually) is very simple, and makes for a good comparison.
Optimus Prime believes in freedom from oppression, and is willing to sacrifice *himself* for it.
Megatron believes in freedom from oppression, and is willing to sacrifice *anyone* for it.
@@Laserbeak316 Also, while he was a miner and still writing his manifesto, they sent a bot called Froid to alter his personality, however the process was halted not long after it had begun, something that probably contributed to his madness.
I honestly cannot blame Megatron for going down the path of war. Especially when the corrupt Senate of Cybertron are to blame for putting him on that path in the first place.

True, but Megatron is still partly responsible for his actions.
@@luvblueybingoheeler3150 Well it's a freaking villain
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. What started out as a revolution aimed at making things better became....
Well, ol’ Megatron calls it “Peace through Tyranny”. But there is no peace. Only tyranny.

This is why i like Megatron he wants whats best but thinks that war is the only option
0:17
Nobody:"..."
Megatron:"We live in a society."
Megatron has and always will be my favorite transformer. This masterpiece of a story gives my loyalty ultimate justification. Primus bless your spark young man. ALL HAIL MEGATRON!
Yup Megatron is my fav all hail Megatron
It is a shame we never seen Megatron without his helmet anymore. Dude has awesome sea star shaped hair :P
I know!! But isn't it cool to see what's under the helmet?
hes a robot remember
DAY BICH they are being the look like robots they can still feel and love here a video explaining it #transformersbiology
At first I thought it was strange to have Megatron with hair but... its actually interesting!! Not sure about the lion mane starfish thing going on... but its interesting to see whats under that helmet finally!! 😃
I wish we could get another Transformers series that gives Megatron a sympathetic origin, while also making him less of a clear cut villain.
yeah he got shoved in the sidelines ffs
You get to see him go mad in the Netflix war for Cybertron series
@@trysten9198 not a perfect series but it does have really great moments for megatron and giving him depth, especially when he had to make the decision of shutting down that decepticon sector
I would love a movie that shows Megatron that starts out him being such a great good guy to becoming what he is now.
You will not believe this
To Megatron, my brother from a cyber-mother: break the chains of corruption with your own hands and show how great the cybertronians can truly be!
>Used "It Has To Be This Way" when Prime fought Megatron.
...Good taste...
Good ear. You're the first 1 who noticed after all these years 😁
Mad respect for the level of vocalization in this one. You captured the G1 aesthetic perfectly.
Keep up the good work, friend.
Transformers comicstorian thanks man I needed this
Barbara Randle ikr
Unify the community. TIL ALL ARE ONE
Til all are One.. ;)
(And then until we all recognize it..)
That guy is on point about division in the fandom. Some sickos out there want Cullen and Welker to die off so the G1ers will shut up, as some say.
Your sound wave in this sounds like the one from the war and fall video games
I have to agree with you.... As someone who appreciates the old and new of the transformers community I for the most part have my likes and dislikes about both... But IDW has seem to do justice for both sides... And I am an 18 year old who has seen the original g 1 series ( I pride myself on being on the middle ground)... Hope to see more
Uh... Hate to be that wierdo shipper guys... But 19:45 and 20:12 I spot Orion (Optimus) and Elita ( Can't spell her other name)... Yeah I'm that guy
@@GameTavern2224 yep, I noticed them too ;) since Orion is in law enforcement in this verse, I suppose it makes sense..
Finally, a origin story that really makes sense for Megatron. Thank you my man!
Just stumbled across this I've fallen down a rabbit hole in the last few weeks reigniting my childhood love of Transformers. This was great man really good voice acting too.
AWESOME
This was so awesome. Good job man. You should definetley continue with the IDW stuff. You could do Primacy next, the story on how Orion Pax became Optimus Prime.
Dude, I've watched a couple of your videos before, but haven't seen anything like this until now. This is CLEARLY where you shine! I'm legally blind. One of the biggest issues for me, is being able to read, when there are lots of distractions, around the words i.e. reading comic books is nearly impossible for me, and there are so few visual and auditory formatted comics out there. You doing this, is absolutely wonderful to me! Thank you so much for being the one to finally allow me to enjoy these! You can't know how appreciative I am for this gift. Thank you, truly!
Most of the 1980s cartoons I watched as a kid were created as a way to sell toys. It’s impressive that they still turned out so good and captured kids’ imaginations so well that they’re still around 40 years later!
Yes so nice for the seekers to get some time in the limelight. I was always a fan of Thundercracker,Skywarp ( eventually Cyclonis ) and Starscream ( in a non-snivilling persona). I also loved Rumble and Frenzy. I had Soundwave and D.J with all the original mini-cons
That was a really great Starscream VO man. Well done.
This was the most amazing accidental find I could hope for.
RBG, if you ever need an actor for any of these, I'm open. And more importantly, I LOVED THIS!!! As an IDW fan, this was probably one of the best videos you've done. In my opinion at least.
I love how It has to be this way from metal gear rising plays during the final battle between Megatron and Sentinel!
Thanks. I thought that song would be the perfect fit for the scene.
I want that origin story made into a Movie.
Wow that’s good that you are trying to unite the transformers fandom as one or as they say till all are one
Why do you only have 240 thousand subs? Confuses the living daylights out of me. Your content is so well put together. You deserve more!!!! Well up!
I don't know why you stopped making these but please consider doing more I love these.
Oh my god, you’ve done so well with the voice acting here, and your goal of bringing a bit more unity between the g1 and the newer fandom is really sweet! I’ve only just begun branching out into the comics with MTMTE and the Wreckers saga from watching TFP, and really liked what they did with Megatron there in MTMTE, and what you’ve done with this video has definitely convinced me to pick up more of the g1 continuity👍 You’ve got a real knack with words and for presentation
2:44 so even if you’re a robot, you can loose your job to automation? That’s rough.
Best Megatron origin story I've seen on youtube. Great job dude!
I just watched this vid. Even though I read and loved the comic series, you breathed even more life into the story. Outstanding voicing and editing! You sir are a credit to all of Transformerdom and I give you a well deserved standing ovation! Thank you.
Totally loved this origin story. You laid out a very understandable story with great voice acting and effects. I hope you do more of these
I'd love to see you cover Shockwave's origin.
This comic kind of feels like a cautionary analogue of what's going on right now and what may (or may not) happen in the future.
Damn son. I was looking for something else when I found this. Why not give this a day in court? I am glad I stumbled across this. Very well done. I like it and I want more.
This was so awesome what you've done here. I was playing all those classic sound effects in my head. Your Megatron is on point. I loved this so good!!!
Great vid :)
Aw snap! I watch you guys all the time lol. I thought it was a fake account when I saw your comment but it's really you. Thanks for watching :D
Cool! If you ever wonder out to Cali come kick it with us :)
You are the best narrator I have ever listened to. My son and I are very grateful for you making this video. Outstanding work sir.
Hey man. I read this when it came out. I really liked what you did here. Lot of hard work goes into doing the voices and editing, and it did not go unnoticed. Well done, subbed for sure.
F*cking brilliantly executed :D Great storytelling, love the voices (you nailed those!), always like to hear Transformer lore stories.Thanks for having do this and posted it for us to enjoy!
I miss your videos on IDW RBG!!! These videos are awesome to watch while customizing my Transformers figures!!!
thank you so much for your time by doing these the voices are amazing as well thank you
Awesome video RBG! Digging deep into the of The Begging of Megatron Transformers IDW G1! I love how u make each one of your video feel like your "Narrating" a TF Comic book. You truly are the GOAT Bro! Can tell u out your heart into this one homie! Great to see my fellow Prime Back, Upgraded, and better than ever! I needed this man... "When all HOPE is lost a Few 🎥 from RBG, Can save everything we love."⚔️
Always appreciate the awesome comments my guy. I always try to aim higher and bring something new to the table. #TillAllGamersR1 ^_^
This was awesome. Thank you for this amazing reminder of how it all started. I remember being a kid and this show started, i was hooked. The comics were amazing. Great voice work too.
Very well done sir! I just got my first IDW comics and was thinking of making a video like this. there is no need!
First time hearing this amazing story. Your conviction in your voice acting helped tell the story
Bro you did an amazing job!!! Omg I enjoyed this so much!!! Thank you!
All hail megatron
Great voice work! Especially Soundwave. Really enjoyed this!
Amazing! I love this story and your brought it alive! Thank you!
I absolutely love what ur doing with this ur reading is amazing and as someone can’t afford to purchase the idw continuity but am dying to learn more about the transformers lore I found this so helpful. U make it thoroughly enjoyable to watch while giving great attention to detail. Please keep it up 🙏💙💚👍
You've done 23 of these so far!!! You kind sir, are the hardest of the one's who rock!!! Ok, be back after the watch!
I love how you voice for every character and especially for megatron and starscream it’s amazing!!!
this was nicely recorded man, thanks for this!
Everyone in the series is more or less obsessed with Megatron, either trying to rival him, replace him or kill him for other reasons. Why does everyone want him dead? Not because he's evil but because he's awesome.
Love the voice acting. Good job rbg
"what happens when the little guy decides to takes a stand for a justifiable cause"
Millions and millions of years of brutal civil war that spans the universe.
Honestly love this origin so much and how in depth it was
Omg the fandom has needed you for years.
i love how you do soundwaves's voices, its seriously dope.
I love Soundwave's voice. This story will make a Decepticon out of you.
RBG For life dude this was amazing...and your impersonation of megatron to
Frenzy: Hey, your finally awake
This was great! You were great! Thank you
This is the first time I noticed that you used Metal Gear Rising music in the scene where Megatron fought Sentinel Prime. Epic!
Thanks man! I love Rising Revengeance's soundtrack!
Megatron leads a worker revolt, aims to eliminate the high class, starves Cybertron from energon.
*Hmmmmm*
Megatron: A price
I love the metallic voice you put on It makes me think your the actual megatron himself this actually makes me fear megatron I cant even sleep thinking he'll come up to my window and grab me and crush me this is by far the best impersonation of megatron ever
Thank you much for this, video series will be awesome. I look forward to the next!
Thanks Kenwin. I can't wait to show off everything these comics have to offer.
This is going to be awesome!
this is so great, i enjoyed this more then reading the comics.
Thank you! You did a wonderful job!
This is
So
Damn
Good.
You are EXTREMELY talented my guy.
Thank you. This is so fun lol
Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked it!
Wow great job with your intro and voices you did a good job with this one
This is now my favourite Megatron origin story ever the way he rises from miner to gladiator then to military commander.
Pretty cool I've been a fan of the g1 lineup since the beginning
I love your channel man and great job on the voices
This video was amazing
I’m impressed by how you tell the story good job 🤟🏿
Seeing this Origin, I’m already hating the Autobots GO DECEPTICONs!
Ender Drone wish they would make this a movie
those aren’t autobots though. the symbol was made by “Onyx Prime”, and its supposed to represent the face of Primus. they weren’t called autobots until Zeta Prime’s regime so you would say the symbol represented the senate.
This was awsome! Loved it! Now im changed my mind about decepticons are evil and autobots good. Btw love the soundwave voice
super late to this incredible series but I am excited to listen to you talk about transformer comics.
I Will Create Disolation and call it peace.
That beginning always gives me goosebumps.
Just discovered your channel. Both this and the Blurr episode are excellent productions, i really hope you continue with this series.
Great work! Would love to see your passion on the All Hail Megatron story and Last Stand of the Wreckers. Amazing Soundwave voice too!!
That was great the voices were almost spot on
Sounds to me like the autobots are the EVIL ones... ALL HAIL MEGATRON!
Oh fuck yeah!!!! Bout time! I cannot wait for this!
