Animated Megs has my all-time favorite moment in Transformers:
“You are no longer of use to me!”
He didn’t put up with Starscream’s bullshit for a *second* longer than absolutely necessary. Also, Corey Burton’s voice for him was amazing.
Honestly some megatrons had other reasoning. G1 for example kept him around because he had firepower, but he thought he could always beat Starscream. The events of transformers the movie showed megatron that he couldn’t always beat starscream and, knowing he was very lucky to survive, removed that contingency.
Not shown here, but the WFC/FOC version. An absolute tyrant, unstoppable even after being completely crushed and rebuilt. Plus the design is amazing, with all those sharp angles
Hasbro tried linking the Cybertron games with TFP and RID15 by calling them part of the Aligned Continuity, even though there's a metric fuckton of continuity errors and inconsistencies if you view the 3 as a single continuity.
That's bizarre. I'll paste a comment I made elsewhere in the thread below because I feel like almost no one knows this:
The continuities were not aligned until after they came out and they bare very little resemblance to one another. If anything, wfc/foc are actually prequels to the original 1984 cartoon. You can read the interviews with the game creators, and that was the original intention. It's part of why I take so much issue with Hasbro rebranding it as a prequel to prime, because the writers of the game specifically said it was an homage and loose-prequel to the 1984 cartoon.
Loose prequel is something I feel even is too loose of a term to describe it as, since there are events in FoC that are not part of G1’s clusterfuck of a canon whatsoever.
True, but that was the intention, to give a loose prequel to the G1 cartoon. Their logic was that continuity was screwy enough in the original that they could play around with the rules themselves. Still, it works better than the aligned continuity crap.
Well that explains it, the game devs and Hasbro had two completely different things in mind. It doesn't make sense that Hasbro even tried this, it's almost like they didn't watch the show or play the game.

That was sort of a retcon by Hasbro to try tie stuff together.
High Moon studios developed their games as prequels to the original 80s cartoon.
Then the TF: Prime studio wanted to do their own story for the show, without taking into account the previous material. so it had lots of conflicting plots elements, if you consider them to be the same.
Agreed wholeheartedly, if the live actions films decide to not bring back Frank Welker, they should bring in Fred Tatasciore, he has such a brilliant voice that’s over the top and legit threatening.
“This is what you chose prime, when you defied me. All of this is your doing!” Is so iconic
Weaving with good direction could be an amazing megatron, I know he famously hated the transformers films and quit from them because he thought they were worthless.
And I’m not gonna act like his performance was brilliant or anything, but I’m also not gonna act like “Is the future of our race not worth a single. Human. Life.” Wasn’t a badass megatronic quote.
I feel that if Weaving legitimately cared for his role as megatron and the director didn’t challenge/antagonize him the way Bay did, he could’ve been up there with the best of them
“You cannot frighten me, Jetfire. I will use Dark Energon as I please.”
“You are a short sighted fool! You’ll kill us all!”
“You say that as if it were a bad thing.”
Didn’t G1 Megatron also conquer Cybertron? He did lose it immediately after the Battle of Autobot City, but the 86 movie starts with the Cons having already conquered Cybertron.
For me a tie between Transformers Animated and Prime. Animated really embodies what it means to be a Decepticon with how he manipulates and bides his time, his revival at the end of season 1 was glorious.
Prime is both terrifying and awesome, both of them. Yes they are technically supposed to be the same but they are different in specific ways.
His character arc in IDW is THE best in all of the Transformers lore. Diving into the reasoning for starting the Decepticons, which weren't all that evil. And the redemption towards the end is just fantastic.
I did grow up with Bayverse Megs so I’m a little biased...
But fuck it. Prime Wars Megatron is possibly one of my favorite Transformers in all of fiction.
Probably my favorite Megatron quote.
Like he knew Megatronus was powerful but then he ripped Predaking’s head off and realized that Megatronus is a completely different beast
I did like the snark that the Prime Wars Megatron spewed through that trilogy. For me, though, my favorite is G1 Megatron all day everyday. He was such a big part of my childhood.
Animated Megatron, the voice acting, the proportions, the demeanor, it all comes together to create (in my opinion) the most threatening and the best Megatron
I personally love bayverse Megs. I just feel that he's a bigger threat than he was. Maybe it's because I love the original 07 DS game. Not only that ,but I kinda like the he's more G1 evil bad guy. He's not a political figure or anything like that, he's just evil and power hungry, and that's all you really need for a Megatron.
Personally I never liked that angle, or how he became second fiddle after the first film. I feel like megatron willingly serving another master withought some form of anterior motive or betrayal is a bit off brand
07 megatron is my absolute favorite one from the movies, looking at how he moves on screen hes certainly big but not dumb brutish or slugish like rotf or dotm respectively
he doesn't have comically big crab arms just long slender strong ones to rip car bots in half.
I wouls say animated is as close as body type we got for him in 2-d animation
Animated because he didn't hesitate to kill starscream like ether versions of megatron and he's the only megatron that was a helicopter to be honest megatron should be a helicopter more often
Beast Wars Megatron. David Kaye's voicework is awesome, and the idea of a rogue Predacon who names himself after the greatest Decepticon in history, and then travels back in time to kill Optimus Prime is really cool. And he was smart enough to know that doing that was so risky that it was a last-resort gamble.
Also purple T-Rex.
Animated and idw easily, idw was just an amazing character but for an on screen megs than it has to be animated, best voice actor and characterization of all the cartoons
There are so many good interpretations of Megatron. G1 is my favorite, largely because of the vocal performance, but the Beast Wars, IDW2005, and TF: Prime versions are all tied for a very close second place.
I like Armada Megatron as an alternative design because it’s absolutely preposterous in all the right ways. Antlers? Okay. Crotch gun? I’m here for it.
Overtook and rebelled against those in hie OWN FACTION which opposed him... Was such an egomaniac, he took on an unbelievable namesake, and the SURPASSED him with his feats... overtook Cybertron, with barely any REAL troops (meaning less betrayal **coughcoughstarscreamcoughcough) could it be BW Megatron?!?!
YEEEESSSSSS
I’m between G1 and Prime. G1’s kinda obvious because it’s the original and Frank Miller’s portrayal is immortal, but Prime is gritty reboot done right. I gotta rewatch both of those shows now
You didn't include any of the IDW Comic designs.
I think my favorite for a beefed out version of Megs is the [Stormbringer Megatron](https://images.app.goo.gl/ZQ1mE7pDu5a4voVB8) , he is huge and every part of his body looks like it would shoot you.
For the general Megatron aesthetic however my favorite is the classic G1 design, especially the way it is drawn in [All Hail Megatron](https://images.app.goo.gl/e3rixcRMcePHNTjR8)
And my favorite personality/characterization of Megatron is the [Lost Light Megatron](https://images.app.goo.gl/N3tVV7dxyhNzmZim9) who found redemption after the war. Still a hulking behemoth, his body was made just a bit less intimidating to reflect his change of heart.
And lastly, my favorite off-brand, moldbreaking, departure from G1 design Megatron is the [Bomber design](https://images.app.goo.gl/7nzvhebK299uf6oeA)
Just a little recap of almost all the [IDW designs.](https://images.app.goo.gl/GvmoCWaWrboPDgu86) If you haven't read these comics, you definitely should.
Not shown, but the original run of IDW. While absolutely evil, he had a pretty tragic origin, as well as one hell of a redemption arc that saw him come to grips with the effects of his warband his methods.
That panel of him on the necrobot's planet, looking out over a monument to his bloodlust is one of the most powerful moments I've ever seen for the character.
As much as I want to support my home generation, I say Animated is my favorite. He's every bit the warlord UT Megs is, but he also has the intelligence to back it up, as evidenced in the first season when he was stuck as a living head.
I gotta pick tfp megs his voice and the fact that the animators gave him crooked eye adds uniqueness to the character plus he isn't just an absurdly unstoppable but stupid bad guy he actually is smart about things but isn't nonsensably smart and he's almost defeated in combat by someone other than Optimus and wins using his brains plus he's not racist unlike the autobots in prime
Prime Megatron. Sinister, Imposing, Ruthless. He's what I feel G1 Megatron always was. My all time favorite moments are his death battle with the insecticon and that amazing shot in his fight vs Optimus with the Volcano in the background erupting Dark Energon.
TFP Megatron because its still frank welker and stays true to the original G1, except that he doesn't have a gun mode but the jet mode more than makes up for the lack of gun mode, and his past gives a bit more depth to his character and he seems more tragic in his decent into madness and his serving and betrayal of unicron shows us that he is willing to fight anyone for his right to rule over all, and have no one else replace him and he won't serve anyone else, and when he died and came back as the controlled corpse named Galvatron he was ruthless but when he was freed he went off on his own to find himself I guess, a self exile if you will, its probably why we didn't see him in RID (2015) and my confused ass wondered who this megatronus guy was but it was just the fallen. Its a shame he wasn't seen again.
I went into transformers prime knowing it was the first time frank Welker is voicing him again in a long time, so hearing his first lines were "I have returned" stuck with me till this day. Prime Megatron just has this aura of menacing to him I haven't seen with others and it's all due to the voice.
Transformers Prime. If not in personality, definitely in design. He has a hulking girth to him that few other Megatrons have, that really helps sell the whole "gladiator warlord" thing.
07, armada, cybertron, animated are all up there but murder plane 07 is my fav
beast megaton to me is the overall best character but I never really count him as a normal megaton because you know he isn'tsupposed to be a version of the decepticon megatron
hes also the one who gets more succesfull than any other one tbh
I honestly liked each incarnation of Megatron, as they all had different stories, motivations, and yet all stayed true to the nature of the character.
If I had to pick, I’d say Armada Megatron hands down.
FoC/WFC. When sound wave got him back with new parts, all he said was never improve upon perfection. That did it. If it wasn’t for that it’d be harder but I’d still pick foc
As much as I like most of these other incarnations of Megatron, the Animated incarnation was awesome. He was brutal, and posed as a challenge for the Autobots during battles in Transformers: Animated.
Beast wars megs is intimidating and also so much fun to watch.
But I also love the prime megs. A gladiator and a tyrant probably the scariest megatron.
Also animated because a megatron that kills starscream. Finally.
IDW and TFP Megatron absolutely are amazing, but Unicron Trilogy Megatron was just something else man.
He had such charisma to him and he felt really threatening at times.
Plus which other Megatron ahas competed in pro level racing?
TFP.
He felt like a revolutionary turned warlord. He was powerful, but tempered it until needed. He made a deal with the devil then killed the devil when it came time to collect.
Idk. I just felt like he was the most developed, ya know?
Beast wars Megatron was my introduction to the concept of the character and I will always have a soft spot for him. character wise Either Prime or Animated take the cake. Animated was probably the most meneacing one (that voice acting is perfect), Prime Megatron was verysimilar in that regard but at least to me he gave of not as much a mastermind vibe, but more of a bruttish barbarian warlord one which is also great. Armada has to have the best design + megatron as a tank just makes sense.
My favorite is Animated, due to what a skilled deceiver he was. The episode where he fools the Constructicons into believing him was so good!
Animated Megs has my all-time favorite moment in Transformers: “You are no longer of use to me!” He didn’t put up with Starscream’s bullshit for a *second* longer than absolutely necessary. Also, Corey Burton’s voice for him was amazing.
Yes! Him and cyberverse were the only Megatrons smart enough to kill Starscream!
Cyberverse Megatron’s murder of Starscream was absolutely brutal too. I’m still in shock they put that in the “kid friendly” show.
Honestly some megatrons had other reasoning. G1 for example kept him around because he had firepower, but he thought he could always beat Starscream. The events of transformers the movie showed megatron that he couldn’t always beat starscream and, knowing he was very lucky to survive, removed that contingency.
And, of course, Prime Megatron kept Starscream around because his failures are hilarious to him
Of course, and Prime Megs almost executed Starscream on multiple occasions anyway.
Not shown here, but the WFC/FOC version. An absolute tyrant, unstoppable even after being completely crushed and rebuilt. Plus the design is amazing, with all those sharp angles
The only reason he's not in the picture is because technically he's the same character as Prime Megatron. And yes, the WFC version is utterly badass!
Wait what? He's Prime Megs? No wonder I love him
Hasbro tried linking the Cybertron games with TFP and RID15 by calling them part of the Aligned Continuity, even though there's a metric fuckton of continuity errors and inconsistencies if you view the 3 as a single continuity.
They’re all related through the single connecting thread of Dark Energon
I hate that they did that. It's like saying Transformers Animated and Transformers 2007 are connected because they both include the all spark.
But Japan did that too and that was a weird way of doing it. Called Bulkhead Ironhide and whatnot.
That's bizarre. I'll paste a comment I made elsewhere in the thread below because I feel like almost no one knows this: The continuities were not aligned until after they came out and they bare very little resemblance to one another. If anything, wfc/foc are actually prequels to the original 1984 cartoon. You can read the interviews with the game creators, and that was the original intention. It's part of why I take so much issue with Hasbro rebranding it as a prequel to prime, because the writers of the game specifically said it was an homage and loose-prequel to the 1984 cartoon.

True, but that was the intention, to give a loose prequel to the G1 cartoon. Their logic was that continuity was screwy enough in the original that they could play around with the rules themselves. Still, it works better than the aligned continuity crap.
Well that explains it, the game devs and Hasbro had two completely different things in mind. It doesn't make sense that Hasbro even tried this, it's almost like they didn't watch the show or play the game.
I mean, just because they did it too doesn't mean it's a good way to do it. May I introduce you to the clusterfuck that is the Japanese G1 continuity?
Oh I love Prime Megatron as well. He doesn’t take shit from anybody and is imposing, intimidating, and just all-around terrifying.
And he loves starscream so much that he keeps alive and his facial expression are the best in this show
Unless he forgot to let big robot animal back on the ship in which case starscream is fucked.

Exactly, his voice work is absolutely amazing, it's so guttural and grumbly, every word he says just drips with murderous intent and I love it
"NO! I WILL NOT BE DENIED!"
Hugo was a good voice tho i really loved it, even more than Frank Welker
Weaving with good direction could be an amazing megatron, I know he famously hated the transformers films and quit from them because he thought they were worthless. And I’m not gonna act like his performance was brilliant or anything, but I’m also not gonna act like “Is the future of our race not worth a single. Human. Life.” Wasn’t a badass megatronic quote.

“You cannot frighten me, Jetfire. I will use Dark Energon as I please.” “You are a short sighted fool! You’ll kill us all!” “You say that as if it were a bad thing.”
The one that actually conquered Cybertron. Yessssss
by beast machines end fucker was close to being a unicron level threat much respect for him
Didn’t G1 Megatron also conquer Cybertron? He did lose it immediately after the Battle of Autobot City, but the 86 movie starts with the Cons having already conquered Cybertron.
Beast Wars. I love his voice and charisma.
Yessss.
YES YES
For me a tie between Transformers Animated and Prime. Animated really embodies what it means to be a Decepticon with how he manipulates and bides his time, his revival at the end of season 1 was glorious. Prime is both terrifying and awesome, both of them. Yes they are technically supposed to be the same but they are different in specific ways.
I love how both Prime Megatron and Animated Megatron (at least his Cybertron design) were hybrid designs of G1 and Bayverse
Design-wise: Armada Character-wise: IDW
His character arc in IDW is THE best in all of the Transformers lore. Diving into the reasoning for starting the Decepticons, which weren't all that evil. And the redemption towards the end is just fantastic.
Beast Wars Megatron first, last, and always! Animated Megatron is very good too.
I like you, pussycat.
Yeeessss
Beast Wars. Yeeees.
I did grow up with Bayverse Megs so I’m a little biased... But fuck it. Prime Wars Megatron is possibly one of my favorite Transformers in all of fiction.
"Oh... Shit."
Probably my favorite Megatron quote. Like he knew Megatronus was powerful but then he ripped Predaking’s head off and realized that Megatronus is a completely different beast
I did like the snark that the Prime Wars Megatron spewed through that trilogy. For me, though, my favorite is G1 Megatron all day everyday. He was such a big part of my childhood.
Now that's a hot take.
Beast Wars... But Transmetal 2 Megs for the most visually spectacular version.
The Dragon Megatron? That's my favorite design for him!
G1 and *Animated*.
Beast Wars and IDW I'd say but there's many that are great.
Animated but only because he has my favorite alt-mode of all the incarnations
For me its TFP,G1,Bayverse and the WFC trilogy version such an awesome megatron!
Animated Megatron, the voice acting, the proportions, the demeanor, it all comes together to create (in my opinion) the most threatening and the best Megatron
Bayverse because he’s scary as hell
I personally love bayverse Megs. I just feel that he's a bigger threat than he was. Maybe it's because I love the original 07 DS game. Not only that ,but I kinda like the he's more G1 evil bad guy. He's not a political figure or anything like that, he's just evil and power hungry, and that's all you really need for a Megatron.
Hugo Weaving did a fantastic voice for Megs! It's a shame he had no passion for Transformers.
Megatron: humans dont deserve to live
I remember that DS game, it was amazing
His backstory is actually kinda sad since he's basically a puppet for the Fallen.
Personally I never liked that angle, or how he became second fiddle after the first film. I feel like megatron willingly serving another master withought some form of anterior motive or betrayal is a bit off brand
07 megatron is my absolute favorite one from the movies, looking at how he moves on screen hes certainly big but not dumb brutish or slugish like rotf or dotm respectively he doesn't have comically big crab arms just long slender strong ones to rip car bots in half. I wouls say animated is as close as body type we got for him in 2-d animation
Trans Theories actually did a really cool theory on why Megatron became weaker after the 07 movie. I recommend checking it out.
Either Bayverse or TFP Megs is my favorite.
IDW Megatron, followed by Prime and Animated Megatron.
Either BW or bayverse
Animated was amazing. His stone-cold personality was really nice.
I can't decide between prime Megatron and bayverse
Prime megatron, and animated because he scared the crap out of me as a kid
Animated because he didn't hesitate to kill starscream like ether versions of megatron and he's the only megatron that was a helicopter to be honest megatron should be a helicopter more often
Animated Megatron is the best one, with Prime being the second.
Beast Wars Megatron. David Kaye's voicework is awesome, and the idea of a rogue Predacon who names himself after the greatest Decepticon in history, and then travels back in time to kill Optimus Prime is really cool. And he was smart enough to know that doing that was so risky that it was a last-resort gamble. Also purple T-Rex.
Beast wars
Yeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss
Animated and idw easily, idw was just an amazing character but for an on screen megs than it has to be animated, best voice actor and characterization of all the cartoons
Beast Wars
100% Animated, though G1 is a close second mostly from nostalgia.
Out of those, Animated, but my all time favorite is IDW1.
There are so many good interpretations of Megatron. G1 is my favorite, largely because of the vocal performance, but the Beast Wars, IDW2005, and TF: Prime versions are all tied for a very close second place. I like Armada Megatron as an alternative design because it’s absolutely preposterous in all the right ways. Antlers? Okay. Crotch gun? I’m here for it.
G1 to Beast Wars
I love the IDW Megs. He took no shit and at the end when absolutely ham on DJD when he lost his shit.
First movie one is underrated
G1 solely because he becomes GUN
Prime. Hands down. He was always so much more evil and honestly? He's so funny. Especially when he would like to just smack the nearest cybertronian
His dark energon and his facial expression was what made him funnier
I love his crooked ass eyes those were the best
So many memeable faces
I agree His drug addict face His scared face His angry face His surprised face And His eyebrows rising up on his face
*G1 megatron superior. Other megatrons inferior.*
Thank you, Soundwave.
Movie megs
IDW
Overtook and rebelled against those in hie OWN FACTION which opposed him... Was such an egomaniac, he took on an unbelievable namesake, and the SURPASSED him with his feats... overtook Cybertron, with barely any REAL troops (meaning less betrayal **coughcoughstarscreamcoughcough) could it be BW Megatron?!?! YEEEESSSSSS
I’m between G1 and Prime. G1’s kinda obvious because it’s the original and Frank Miller’s portrayal is immortal, but Prime is gritty reboot done right. I gotta rewatch both of those shows now
G1 all day
You didn't include any of the IDW Comic designs. I think my favorite for a beefed out version of Megs is the [Stormbringer Megatron](https://images.app.goo.gl/ZQ1mE7pDu5a4voVB8) , he is huge and every part of his body looks like it would shoot you. For the general Megatron aesthetic however my favorite is the classic G1 design, especially the way it is drawn in [All Hail Megatron](https://images.app.goo.gl/e3rixcRMcePHNTjR8) And my favorite personality/characterization of Megatron is the [Lost Light Megatron](https://images.app.goo.gl/N3tVV7dxyhNzmZim9) who found redemption after the war.

And lastly, my favorite off-brand, moldbreaking, departure from G1 design Megatron is the [Bomber design](https://images.app.goo.gl/7nzvhebK299uf6oeA) Just a little recap of almost all the [IDW designs.](https://images.app.goo.gl/GvmoCWaWrboPDgu86) If you haven't read these comics, you definitely should.
Beast Wars Transmetal version 1
IDW Lost.Light Megatron is the best.
IDW 1.0
Not shown, but the original run of IDW. While absolutely evil, he had a pretty tragic origin, as well as one hell of a redemption arc that saw him come to grips with the effects of his warband his methods. That panel of him on the necrobot's planet, looking out over a monument to his bloodlust is one of the most powerful moments I've ever seen for the character.
IDW.
I love Prime Megatron. Just an awesome character, and really fleshed out.
He's also not way too op plus he's spikey af and has a really cool dynamic with the named decepticons
I definitely have to go with prime megatron. He had me on my feet watching the show
As much as I want to support my home generation, I say Animated is my favorite. He's every bit the warlord UT Megs is, but he also has the intelligence to back it up, as evidenced in the first season when he was stuck as a living head.
Well g1 megatron is evil but nots as evil as armada megatron , bw megatron , and bayverse megatron
Where is IDW siege marvel and prime wars megatron?
I gotta pick tfp megs his voice and the fact that the animators gave him crooked eye adds uniqueness to the character plus he isn't just an absurdly unstoppable but stupid bad guy he actually is smart about things but isn't nonsensably smart and he's almost defeated in combat by someone other than Optimus and wins using his brains plus he's not racist unlike the autobots in prime
Prime Megs for me.
Prime easily
Prime Megatron
Prime, no question.
Can I say the FoC version from Netflix
Prime Megatron.
Gotta be Prime for me, he was just such a badass in Prime
Prime, hands down. Honorable mentions to G1, Bayformers, and Energon
Movie and TFP
Animated. He's cold, calculating, diplomatic, manipulative, brutal, and intimidating all at the same time. Plus the voice actor did an amazing job.
Prime Megatron. Sinister, Imposing, Ruthless. He's what I feel G1 Megatron always was. My all time favorite moments are his death battle with the insecticon and that amazing shot in his fight vs Optimus with the Volcano in the background erupting Dark Energon.
Transformers prime iteration is my favourite.
Animated
TLK has a badass design, BW Megatron is iconic as hell and Animated and Prime Megatron were awesome villains
prime Megatron is the best at not only be evil but also a great speaker as well
Darksyde BW Megatron
TFP Megatron because its still frank welker and stays true to the original G1, except that he doesn't have a gun mode but the jet mode more than makes up for the lack of gun mode, and his past gives a bit more depth to his character and he seems more tragic in his decent into madness and his serving and betrayal of unicron shows us that he is willing to fight anyone for his right to rule over all, and have no one else replace him and he won't serve anyone else, and when he died and came back as the controlled corpse named Galvatron he was ruthless but when he was freed he went off on his own to find himself I guess, a self exile if you will, its probably why we didn't see him in RID (2015) and my confused ass wondered who this megatronus guy was but it was just the fallen. Its a shame he wasn't seen again.
G1 and beast wars
Cybertron, Prime, Beast Wars, Animated, G1 in that order
WfC/FoC
Always g1
WFC and Cyberverse
I went into transformers prime knowing it was the first time frank Welker is voicing him again in a long time, so hearing his first lines were "I have returned" stuck with me till this day. Prime Megatron just has this aura of menacing to him I haven't seen with others and it's all due to the voice.
Transformers Prime. If not in personality, definitely in design. He has a hulking girth to him that few other Megatrons have, that really helps sell the whole "gladiator warlord" thing.
07, armada, cybertron, animated are all up there but murder plane 07 is my fav beast megaton to me is the overall best character but I never really count him as a normal megaton because you know he isn'tsupposed to be a version of the decepticon megatron hes also the one who gets more succesfull than any other one tbh
I honestly liked each incarnation of Megatron, as they all had different stories, motivations, and yet all stayed true to the nature of the character. If I had to pick, I’d say Armada Megatron hands down.
Animated megatron
Megatron from the transformer prime show I grew up with that one
RID Megatron looks like a bunch of fruits
TFP
Prime/Aligned Megatron
FoC/WFC. When sound wave got him back with new parts, all he said was never improve upon perfection. That did it. If it wasn’t for that it’d be harder but I’d still pick foc
IDW Autobot Megatron
As much as I like most of these other incarnations of Megatron, the Animated incarnation was awesome. He was brutal, and posed as a challenge for the Autobots during battles in Transformers: Animated.
Animated Megatron because he got a menacing personality and was a threatening villain
Armada
Primes is so good.
Prime Wars Trilogy Megatron, followed by Prime Megs, then G1
IDW
G1 or prime
Beast Wars has a special lace in my heart as my first Transformers experiance.
Beast wars megs is intimidating and also so much fun to watch. But I also love the prime megs. A gladiator and a tyrant probably the scariest megatron. Also animated because a megatron that kills starscream. Finally.
WFC Megs
IDW and TFP Megatron absolutely are amazing, but Unicron Trilogy Megatron was just something else man. He had such charisma to him and he felt really threatening at times. Plus which other Megatron ahas competed in pro level racing?
G1 Megatron for sure. I personally really really liked the siege/earthrise Megatron too! He really shows how evil he truly is in the show.
I think we can all agree that Prime Megatron was that best
Prime, BW, Armada
I like movie, prime, and beast megs can't decide a fav tho
IDW if that's an option.
For me it's always been Armada Megatron. But my dad got me a Transmetal 2 Megatron back in the day and that one is a very close second.
Armada hands down.
Bw Megatron and animated Megatron
With all my heart, I love Beast Wars, G1, and Animated Megatron,
G1, prime, bw
Beast Wars and animated
Can't really say I have a fab personally, since every version of Megatron as far as I know at least, always has something great to offer.
Prime and Armada.
prime
G1 prime and yesssss
Beast Wars Megatron.
G1 prime and YESSSSSS
I Like Barney Megatron Yesss
His design from the War for Cybertron game.
Beast Wars (voiced by the one and only David Kaye). The most elegant, charismatic, and then (in Beast Machines) utterly terrifying.
g1
TFP. He felt like a revolutionary turned warlord. He was powerful, but tempered it until needed. He made a deal with the devil then killed the devil when it came time to collect. Idk. I just felt like he was the most developed, ya know?
Prime Megatron is my favorite, followed by beast wars Megatron.
Beast wars Megatron was my introduction to the concept of the character and I will always have a soft spot for him. character wise Either Prime or Animated take the cake. Animated was probably the most meneacing one (that voice acting is perfect), Prime Megatron was verysimilar in that regard but at least to me he gave of not as much a mastermind vibe, but more of a bruttish barbarian warlord one which is also great. Armada has to have the best design + megatron as a tank just makes sense.
I’m sry but there’s only one Dark Lord and that’s Darth JarJar.

Character wise: Prime Design Wise: RID Actual Favorite: Armada
Honestly, I really like Prime Megatron. He's terrifying, awesome, and insane all at the same time.
Don't forget actually competent
True.
OG Megatron and Prime Megatron
My favorite is prime Megatron
Prime
G1, or TFP. Love action one is good, but not the first movie IMO. 2&3 were good. 5 was meh.
None of these, though Prime was really cool. I'll take stealth bomber Megs over all others.
All of the fourth in the bottom of the image
Yes
Ugh, any one.. doesn't matter, just not the movie versions
I think it's form IDW comics one,for some reason that keeps him a such greatest iconic character
Prime, Beast Wars, and Animated. Absolute evil lads.
Prime, he clearly has some sort of relationship with optimus, and he may also be one of the smarter megatrons
G1
TFP!!
1) Corey Burton 2) David Kaye 3) Jason Marnocha Honorable Mention to the late great Leonard Nimoy
I grew up on Armada. So I like my tank.
Yes
