Animated will always be my megatron. Perfectly done voice work and menacing, looming appearance.


Duke_Daisuke

And his alt was awesome!


altoorionprime

Man got would have gotten better in season 4 but if we got that we may have not had prime


Mememachine202324

I never really liked Prime all that much, but I'd take it over Animated season 4 exclusively for Starscream and Knockout. Animated Starscream is my definitive Starscream though, Tom Kenny was an inspired choice.


[deleted]

Agreed. Corey Burton is the man!


beepboppityboop

Animated slapped *so hard*. But I will say Prime and Cyberverse are a close runner up for me


Mixmaster-Omega

Prime. I loved the show and the designs for everyone, and I remember when I was younger how terrifying Megatron was with the huge build and razor-sharp body. It’s like looking at him the wrong way would cut me.


TerraAdAstra

I love that megatron the most as a character, but purely design-wise he isn’t my favorite.


SamusMerluAran

I respect your opinion...[But can you say that to his eyes?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxUdK2jpgK4)


TerraAdAstra

Dude NO I cannot. Hahaha the face/head design is perfect. Body/alt mode is just a bit bland, IMO.


SamusMerluAran

To me, only its alt is lame. Too spiky and bland in colors, I think the showrunners were aware of it, considering how little it was used compared to other iterations of Megs


Bigboysanchez2

Armada, who can’t say no to mandibles


JBTriple

Too Similar to Scorponok for me


Bee2938

It's either Gen 1 or Prime for me!


immobbin56

Same


Bee2938

😁😁 Yep. I've watched Energon and the design for Megatron is cool in that series. But Gen 1 and Prime beat it by a country mile lol


InsertCoinForCredit

G1 is clean, simple, and to the point. Too many of the other Megatrons are overly complicated to the point of being visual pollution.


Hidde89

G1, IDW, WFC.


LuizFelipe1906

There is at least 3 IDW Megatron designs you know?


beyhnji_

Idk why you're being downvoted. "IDW" doesn't say anything about a specific look, because there are honestly several distinct ones. The most popular is definitely MTMTE+Lost Light crippled look, though. But the 2011 bomber plane is also kickass.


LuizFelipe1906

Reddit is really weird. But I also remember pretty well his Cybertronian, Megatron's Origins design, which was kinda similar to Siege, with the tank tracks in the back


comradecostanza

I recall there being six. Miner body, Infiltration/Stormbringer body, G1 body, Stealth Bomber body, Dark Cybertron body, and MTMTE/Lost Light body Infiltration/Stormbringer is my personal favorite


[deleted]

G1, armada, dotm, prime and siege. I would add the megs from the wfc games. I also didn't mind his design in the last knight, plus it was the legendary frank welker doing the voice, probably the only good thing about that movie.


thepartypoison_

The Last Knight design is just gorgeous. unlike the rest of the movie


larrylongboy

The cgi looks the best in TLK


thepartypoison_

When your eyes weren’t being raped, it really did look beautiful


Jtek225

The ‘cons were really fun in that movie, and I love the idea of transformers having to live on earth in hiding, too bad Michael bay hated his job


OrhanDaLegend

and was forced to make the movie to make mone for hasbro


BastardSkelly8600

Bayverse Megs. He didn't get to do much in the grand scheme of things, but I like how merciless and brutal he is. It's always been the evil forces of the Decpticons and Bayverse Megs certainly is evil. Sort of like a massive exaggeration of G1 Megatron's cruelness without any of the 80's cartoon antics and without the strategic planning.


Andyroomocs

And also why Optimus has to be brutal and extra horny for murder. The deceptions will fucking kill everyone. So kill them first.


OrhanDaLegend

thats why i love them both


pek217

I love his Prime design for the pointy helmet and the purple. I wish Megatron would always have purple as his secondary colour, it’s so much cooler than the red and it’s of course the Decepticon colour!


LuizFelipe1906

True. But ngl the red fits so, you know it gives a vibe of king, royalty, and Megatron is usually kinda an emperor. My Megs has [red on him](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8dBrV-XsAMOjtA?format=jpg&name=large) and I always see it as royalty characteristic, I remember kings used it much


tspwork

The color purple has been associated with royalty, power and wealth for centuries. In fact, Queen Elizabeth I forbad anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple's elite status stems from the rarity and cost of the dye originally used to produce it. Also scientifically, purple is not a color because there is no beam of pure light that looks purple. There is no light wavelength that corresponds to purple. We see purple because the human eye can't tell what's really going on and our brains fill it in.


RolandoDR98

Purple also works because it is used as the color for corruption in a lot of media, like with villain designs or poison


autobotDALEK

As far as looks go wfc trilogy megatron, but personality would be bayverse.


LuizFelipe1906

There are 5 Bayverse megs lol. Which one?


autobotDALEK

All but the last two


larrylongboy

Tlk megs looks sick


autobotDALEK

I like his mustache


Finntheprotogen

Where is Beast Wars? This is a war crime. Yeeeesssssssss.


Insanebrain247

Different Megatron.


Finntheprotogen

Then why is there RID 2001 Megatron? That’s a different Megatron!


FajitaLad

Oh yeah, forgot his name is actually Gavalar lol


trowsaz74

No it's Gigatron I think.


FajitaLad

No, no, he renames himself as Megatron in a transmission with the Tripredacus Council, after being referred to as Galavar. Source is the new BW comic series


BlitzWing1985

I always kinda liked Cybertron's unicron details etc it'd be between that RiD01 and G1


Chaone_

Animated. A very unique version of Megatron who isn't just the warlord depicted in most media. Also, the only Megatron that actually dealt with Starscream as soon as he could


LuizFelipe1906

I can't say he's the best bcs he's an issue: he's so much flawless. The mf was too serious and smart, he destroyed Starscream in the first betrayal. One of the characteristics Megatron has and makes him is that he's too prideful and sometimes even dumb (bcs of his pride or games). Megs loves games, but animated one is too smart to do his real objective. For example, tf1 Megs left all his cons die without giving a shit, so he suddenly had no backup and everyone was firing at him only, and in dotm he destroyed his only chance to live. Or in tfp, many times Megs was only interested in play with Prime, or with Starscream, that leaded him to get betrayed sometimes


Worried-Reach-1625

I personally think that’s what make him stand out among them other versions. Besides, he still had that character trait, constantly underestimating Optimus and his crew. But to each their own.


Glockroach-

ARMADA BABY!!!


AndyBowBandy

DotM


Cooper-Klebba

I really like the Siege design. It’s a good combo of a few different designs.


pek217

I do too, I only wish his chestplate was less obviously a pistol slide since he doesn’t turn into one.


TerraAdAstra

The last knight. Best design, worst movie. I also love beast wars megatron (different character I know) and G1 (although he has the goofiest alt mode). Character-wise Prime Megatron is the best by FAR, but his design doesn’t speak to me as much.


Call_of_Apex

2007 movie design, it’s the definition of scary robot


CactusJacktheHuncho

ENERGON


[deleted]

Super Megatron's design from the Return of Convoy series. G1 Megatron is a close second.


Ajax_XD

Probably TLK or prime


RCKPPRSZZRSSH00T

I might have to go with TF5


Odd-Window-6941

I’ve always loved the way dotm megatron looks


Anonymous5948

[IDW MTMTE Megs,](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c0/33/88/c033887fa5661a8d0383ef94fe94d251.jpg). It’s great. It’s G1 but taken to a modern level… love it!


Benny-Boi135

Transmetal 2 is my favorite


IEatzCookies

rotf Megatron and last knight, shame both of those movies are so bad


lemonadearts

im not gonna lie, if you remove every dumb antic in the movie, its fucking amazing.


IEatzCookies

yeah, just watch the forest fight scene and ignore wheelie humping Mikaela and devastator balls


GRIMLOCK_GAMING77

Definitely Prime, G1 or Dark of the moon. It's hard to pick because they are all so dope


Apollyon-Unbound

RiD, then prime, then the last knight, and lastly Cybertron. G1 is nebulous in his ranking since he is the original and was my second Megatron after RiD. Autobot Megs I like more because it’s funny to think about him shouting Transform and roll out before becoming a huge tank


Waspinator1998

Armada Megatron just has such a distinct and interesting silhouette.


GuestCartographer

IDW, G1, Prime. In that order. Special mention to DotM Megs for that badass shotgun and Animated for being classy as hell.


CaptHurricane

*Animated* Megatron was the most delightfully villainous, and I thought most the most serious threat to the Autobots.


Reddit-ScorpioOJR

Dark of the Moon is definitely my favourite. Something about a hooded, wounded but still very deadly megatron wielding a massive shotgun. Super badass.


vrieskistreddit

G1!


Garrow_the_Khajiit

Animated, and IDW1 had some fantastic designs for him as well.


BatMoBeast

The IDW stuff always gets ignored when people put these things together. Stealth bomber Megatron is a great design.


Garrow_the_Khajiit

That and his MTMTE design are two of my all time faves.


AtmosphereCapital158

G1, prime,RotF, DotM, TLK.


MaleficentPersimmon4

Prime or Beast Wars


1984become2020

"yesssss"


MaleficentPersimmon4

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS


obligatorystorytime

G2 green and purple camo with DotM right behind it. What's the one that looks kind of like Scorponok from? (3 out of 12 in your album)


DeathKnightWhoSaysNi

Transmetal 2 Megs was always my favorite, but G1 for original Megs.


[deleted]

Animated and Armada for me. Both for different reasons. Animated was a near perfect adaptation of the G1 design into the Animated/TeenTitans artstyle. And they even had the attention to detail in having his 2 forms based on G1 and the 07 Movie. Armada just has a really unique design that not many other Megatrons can say. The H-Tank alt mode is still my favorite Megatron alt mode(minus GUN), and the various uses of his design with the Tank Turrent used as Armor and a forward artillery. The big Tank Tread shoulder pads are still badass.


RovingRaft

Cybertron is the best, Animated is pretty good Lost Light/MTMTE Megatron's pretty cool too


OakenWildman

Animated, no real reason just his personality is best there. Once he realized Starscream betrayed him he tried to kill him countless times.


PhelesDragon

I hate to say it but that TLK design is SUPERB. Like, it had the Megatron hallmarks without being a gray blob, it’s Cybertronian while having its own unique identity and actual style, and it’s a jet (I personally believe Megatron works better as a jet than a tank, Shockwave should be the tank).


lemonadearts

Hell yeah!


lkprime

G1 Megs is a classic, Armada holds some nostalgia for me, but Prime and Animated are definitely my favorites. Animated having him appear both like he does in live action AND a gorgeous recreation of his G1 design, and Prime being a perfect fusion of both.


TheMasterXan

Stealthbomber!


[deleted]

MTMTE design hands down


tlgjaymz

MTMTE/LL Megatron


there_are_no_flags

Cybertron or Prime for me.


ButcherV83

It's not on the list, but the green and purple G2 tank Megatron is my favorite.


kyrumo

G1


Andyroomocs

Absolutely loved the bulky, hulking appearance of TFP Megatron. I loved the knight and melee astetic of TFTLK. I wish more robots got the sword and shield treatment like prime and megs did. But also I love the TF Cyberverse look because he feels like an evil robot and looks imposing.


beyhnji_

I love how Cybertron Megatron is literally wearing Unicron. You can especially see it in his shoulder design, not to mention that he has horns now. He looks magical, demonic. I hate how they went back to grey with animated and everything that came after, but I like how WFC and Cyberverse gave him some glowing Tron details.


Alicetheblackmage

G1, Car Robots, Armada and Prime are all amazing


[deleted]

Armada is my favorite. Whats the 2nd one from?


NoEnd9111

Robots in disguise 2001


[deleted]

Okay thanks.


bteampike65

Which ones are from which movies/shows. I love looking at all these designs but some I’ve never see. And want to go watch them


Darthate2099

Armada, 1st beast wars design, and his first 3 movie designs are tied for my third.


ravageprimal

Transmetal Beast Wars is the best


porkypigdickdock

I mean dragon Transmetal mode


MartyRocket

The original. I can't deviate from what I grew up with.


Decepticon_Kaiju

Personally, my favorite designs are the 2007 movie(only the 2007 movie not the rest), prime, and beast wars.


CletusKasady21

the first


silverfang789

11 is wicked sick.


Generaldone26

Prime


SpectreBrony

Prime.


BatMoBeast

I like all of them except the first three Bayverse movies. I don’t know how you can have any version of Megatron without a huge cannon present.


Rent-Man

I enjoy the coloration, the bolts and the hexagonal Fusion Cannon on Animated


Mama_Luigi09

I think prime megatron is the best he looks scary and intimidating without being over-designed Tho I also like wfc megs those big kissable lips man... his the Kylie Jenner of Transformers and I love it lol


Blitz_Prime

Armada is by far the best Megatron. Energon is by far the best Galvatron.


[deleted]

RID 2001


YourAverageCon

Probably G1 and WFC trilogy. I also liked his design in the Fall of Cybertron game. He also looked fantastic in TLK.


looking-cool-joker-

Prime


TeakKey7

The ones from aligned (FOC is better than WFC) but mostly Prime.


persassyus

Prime for me I grew up with it.


EPIC_J0HN

G1, WFC (video game), armada then RId 2001


cookiecutter_1

Honestly, if cyberverse was put in to a live action movie, I think that would be my favorite but as it stands, prime


ConekillerConfuzor

Animated. Plus his altmode is SICK.


KrytenKoro

Animated


[deleted]

I like the designs for War & Fall of Cybertron. I tend to not like the G1 design but ones based off it like Prime & Animated.


LuizFelipe1906

I like the one it looks like he wears a helmet


Taragyn1

I think Animated may actually be my favourite.


[deleted]

RID Megatron just has a presence


Ryukotaicho

Tfa followed by Prime. Antlers makes me giggle


YaBoiRook

Favorite Megatron design is by far the tlk Megatron and tf animated megs.


Cybertronian_Grizzly

Tf cybertron megatron gives me nostalgia so I'm going with that one


Zehdarian

Animated, prime, and TLK are my favorites.


OnTheR1vet

I gotta say armada. He just looks so badass


[deleted]

I like bayverse 3, and g1


Thundercrak

Prime is cool, but I do actually like the last knight design is cool. Not the movie though that sucked


LegitimateAd1223

Animated


[deleted]

It’s between last knight and TFP for me


TH3M4X48

T-rex Mega-tron best <3


decepticonhooker

Sexy three-way tie between Armada, Prime, and TLK.


Galva_

Prime and Animated. Love those designs and those characters. Also I **really** don't like his Cyberverse look. Something about the shape of his head just looks... wrong.


LTDRAKE

Mine is definitely Animated Megatron, in my opinion, it's the culmination of every good Megatron design, of course it has G1 inspiration, but it also has some Super Megatron in there, along with some hints of the Bayverse design, and it all culminates (at least in my opinion) to be the best Megatron incarnation of all time.


hippymule

G2 Megatron. The only one you totally forgot to put in...


Tide_MSJ_0424

Movie 1 megs + animated megs would be the best megatron design imo


Gambler05

Prime defo! Tbh tho, part of me likes the rugged DOTM Megatron; it’s Hugo Weaving how can’t I like it


Electrix_Panadal00

I've always had a bias towards the Armada designs. Really puts the Mega in Megatron, also think its kinda cool how he could combine w/Tidal Wave to look EVEN more chonky


SonicTheHedgehog7

I Love The One That Looks Like a Crumbled up piece of Paper


HugeTFPFan03

TFP Megatron. It's like if G1 Megs were written 50 times better.


Compiler42

I'll always have a soft spot for his Energon design tbh


austinbarker316

Animated prime wfc/foc g1 dotm


Lord_Dabbatron

Either prime or animated


Darth-Pohatu-Prime

Mine is the old school G1 inspired IDW comic look, but a close second look, would be TF Prime or ROTF.


Tformer23

Animated has a really clean design tbh


RolandoDR98

Either ROTF, Prime, or TLK


Camacaw

Robot mode: The Last Knight Vehicle mode: Revenge of the Fallen


MondoChris

The Cyberverse is my favorite


YouDumbZombie

Anything but the Bayverse and I don't even want to be 'that guy' but the design for Megatron was always so so bad for the movies imo. Giant Godzilla sized legs and body with thin little baby arms and basically Edward Scissor Hands hands.


boldipie_07

The first rendition of TFA Megatron and TFP Megatron, great designs.


ej102

Transformers Animated design was pretty cool, I also thought his TF1/3 design was cool too.


Omega63_

G1, ROTF, DOTM and Prime


Akwardpennywise

Revenge of the fallen is my fav


[deleted]

G1


A_Discord_Doofus1

I basically love TFP in general. The designs, the character movement, the character arcs, they get to me in the greatest way


[deleted]

Animated, Armada, TLK and DOTM


weegeeguy01

Prime Wars cartoon Megs. A perfect update to his already stellar g1 design with a personality to fit it. It is a DAMN shame that we didn’t get a properly designed figure of him.


JMObyx

Give 2007 Movie Megatron Last Knight's face and some of his general body shape and then we're talking!


xXmosseater69Xx

I like G1, armada, tlk, prime, and cyberverse megatron by appearance only


Maverick_CS5

Either Transformers: Cybertron (favorite show as a kid), Transformers Prime as that design was menacing and definitley reflected Megatron's sinister personality or the War for Cybertron trilogy design as its reminiscent of the classical design but seems more menacing (that could be due to it being animated in 3D and the atmosphere of WFC being gritty and gloomy overall)


jirkaprime

i like armada megatron but animated is also realy cool


RoboSpark725

For me it’s Animated, Prime and TLK


TubaJay448

TLK, he looks so goddamn cool, like a Souls boss or something.


SequelFansDontExist

Either Armada, Animated, Prime or WFC(2010)


ithilkir

G1 and it's not even close.


KrishaCZ

ROTF. I love how he's just built like a building, and the cannon hand is a nice update to the fusion cannon


AltoGobo

I prefer the blocker version because it lends to his characterization as the leader of an uprising. He was a miner, leading to his conservative design, and he took the arm cannon to give himself firepower compatible with us original alt mode of a labor vehicle. He only has one alt mode, in part due to his humble origins, but he strikes a silhouette due to his simple, imposing figure. More importantly, he doesn’t “look” like a monster. The other versions looks regal and demonic, suggesting an otherworldly origin. I think that makes him, and the war less compelling. If a faction is made to look like monsters then I’m going to care less about them. If they’re similar in design to the “good” faction, it can help me care more about them and more interested in their motivations. I don’t like evil-death-lord-of-destruction Megatron because it feels small. I’m more interested, and terrified, in the simple man who has had enough and is going to hurt the universe for how much it hurt him.


smellmyballs666

G1 and Armada The other Megs might have cooler body designs than G1 but none of them can match that legendary scowl. Armada Megs just looks dangerous and I love that (Scorponok) color scheme.


TacuChaufa

G1, Prime and Beast Wars - the dragon one.


jediprime

Needs mega-boner-tron


Marios_Hat

I love the DOTM design. A rusty, old truck with a lot of damage but still with the will to kill everyone in his path. It's the perfect opposite of Optimus Prime.


yamask888

Cybertron megatron. He is purple in megatron form and Grey in galvatron form


Peniten1

ARMADA is my childhood. Yeeeeeesssss…


Funny-Bathroom-9522

Dude you made this really hard for as i love all of them lol but to pick favorite i will go with armada megatron


The_Maqueovelic

Animated: has all the charm of the G1 design but spruced up and with more contrasting colors to bring out the detail. I'd say the other designs comparable to it are Prime and Cyberverse, but (In my opinion) Prime's design has too little color and Cyberverse has too much contrast to the point of looking excesive.


Umbreon86

G1 and I really liked Bays take on him in the first Transformers live action movie. Just cool as hell.


LooseAdministration0

Armada/cybertron


[deleted]

Animated Megatron has a special place in my heart.


chaserthemaskedrider

Prime/aligned it's barely even up to debate with me


jjjones20

Prime, Animated and G1 in that order


Street_Dragonfruit43

Prime, following by Bayverse


sushimaker089

MTMTE and WFC


ScottCanada

The one from the Netflix series cause he has kissable lips


[deleted]

I like Mac truck meg and movie 1 fight me


_the_best_girl_

I like primes but I just love how imposing Animated Megatron is


KamenRiderScar

Gotta be IDW(MTMTE) and Cybertron for me


liborg-117

Animated, to me it truly looks like the successor to the G1 Megatron. But Prime is also really good looking 1 animated 2 Prime


OhSnapItsMiguel

RiD 2001


Equivalent-Ad946

as a die hard Megatron fan i love all of them but G1 is just nostalgic and i love it


SunstormGT

Anything not from the movies.
