A 12 minute video on why I love animated Megatron

This Megatron is the most dangerous iteration for two reasons: 1: He doesn't let his pride and arrogance go to his head and he knows he's powerful and doesn't need to show off. 2: He's calm, cunning, deceitful, and a master strategist. He learns from his mistakes and doesn't commit them again, he gaslights and manipulates everyone into serving him, he plans ahead and has backup plans within plans. A testament to this Megatron's brilliance is seen in episode one of the series, he attacks the Autobots alone and is defeated because of Starscream's betrayal. After that he never made another mistake, he kept every Decepticon at arm's length and never got close to anyone, he doesn't fight alone and has backup at the ready and most importantly he does not underestimate the Autobots nor Starscream again and takes full measure to ensure he wins. He never lost a 1v1 or a 1v5 battle because of skill, the Autobots won due to third-party interference.

The only version of Megatron who instantly murdered Starscream after the first betrayal.

Prime Megatron : let's starscream live despite his multiple failures and betrayals This Megatron : Kills him on the spot and kept killing him afterwards despite his immortality

I love how TFA gave the cons their own “roll out” motto with “transform and rise up” it fits them so perfectly with the fact they’re revolutionaries, and basically all fly

Animated Megatron is the best version of the character. He's menacing, a master manipulator, but very calm and has personality.

Damn, Megatron really gaslit, gatekept, and girl bossed all over this show

What sets this Megatron above the rest is the fact he can be intimidating without raising his voice or battering his minions. His presence demands respect and when his enemies have the upper hand he finds ways to out smart them.

Also, I can't help but laugh at Megatron's sarcasm when he says "Whaaat? Who told you that?"

In the early, to mid-2000s we had Slade, The Shredder, Vlad, Draken, Vligax, Aku, Ozai, and Gorrath, but then in 2007, we had gotten the top-tier villain of the decade.

The best Megatron hands down. Corey Burton gave an amazing performance & the crew did a fantastic job with his design and writing. R.I.P. Derrick J. Wyatt you gave this Megatron a great design.

What I always loved about animated is how they changed the Optimus and Megatron dynamic. They are always supposed to be equals/rivals but in this show Prime in the beginning isn’t even remotely close to Megatrons level making prime more of an underdog so that when they do beat Megatron it’s more satisfying. Megatron doesn’t even remember primes name in this version as shown at 5:24 It’s less Dante vs Vergil and more so David and Goliath if you catch my drift

He seems like a calm and reasonable person.

3:36 Megatron - "Bitch please."

11:30 "its my private blend" as he hand shaking his oil cup designed as a wine glass like a sophisticated villain damn, compared to all megatron incarnations, this has got to be the most villanous gentleman. His sophistication and speech patterns are off the charts

Animated Megatron is the only Megatron I’ve seen that’s actually intimidating.

Corey Burtons portrayal of Megatron is just perfection. I just love how menacing and manipulative he is to the other Decepticons (especially Lugnut). He’s calm, cunning, sly, humorous and deceitful. It highlights just how much he is willing to do to achieve his goal. I also love the fact that he wants to destroy earth basically out of spite, for keeping him captive over 50 years plus. It’s either this Megatron or TF Prime Megatron which are my favourite, I tend to fluctuate between the two. I don’t even really have any bad things to say about this Megatron I just love him. Starscream is just perfection in this show as well. He is the only Starscream to technically fully defeat Megatron (though he didn’t live to see it) because, he was so relentless, having contingency plan everywhere. The bombs he placed inside the Omega supreme clones essentially lead to Megatrons complete defeat by the hands of Optimus Prime. Xx

This is my favorite version of Megatron of all time! Corey Burton did a fantastic job voicing this handsome warlord!

This Megatron was so memorable and my personal favorite of the Megatrons, probably because his voice is so sinisterly, his designs in Cybertronian shared similarities to his 2007 movie counterpart, and his Earth form has more g1 stylized/militaristic appearance. And he is super cunning. Along with being a very powerful warrior to boot, definitely showing not only in brains but brawns on why he is the TRUE leader of the Decepticons

This Megatron feel different than the rest.

You gotta admire Starscream’s determination for never giving up trying to “offline” Megatron, and even more credit with the fact he was doing this for the last 4 million Years 9:33
