Megatron Origins - The Arch-nemesis Of Optimus Prime, The Leader Of Evil Decepticon, Iconic Villain

I like this detail that Bayverse Megatron's hated for humanity comes from the fact that he was experimented on by humans who considered him as nothing more than any other machine.

Frank Welker is the perfect voice for Megatron.

One thing that I appreciate now but hated as a kid was how Megatron got 'weaker' in the live action movies. At the time, I didn't realize that what happened to him was actually very logical. He was fixed up with made in china parts in ROTF and as a result, got his ass handed to him and in DoTM, he never fully recovered which made sense why he couldn't fight that effectively. In the end, he never really got weaker as when he finally got a decent body in AoE and TLK, he still had his strength and was able to fight Optimus as an equal. The best part is how his character developed. It was nice to see him go from a goal blinded character to considering other options as the movies go by Also, can we all agree that TFP Megatron is the best Megatron?

When you think about it, most of his problems are self-inflicted. Blinded by his arrogance, selfishness & refusal to accept blame.

he's a great villian but I was a bit sad that you only covered him in the later series & not of the Unicron series trilogy (Armada, Energon, Cybertron) because it has a good arc of the story . More importantly, the iconic Beast Wars series wasn't even mentioned & to me, that is a sin. that show gave us so much lore & one ,if not the best version of Megatron

Galvatron is a shift I hated as an almost adult kid. I did like the new form, from pistol to cannon. I hated the new name and it's "need" for it. I'm glad that Megatron is Megatron again and Galvatron was just a phase, like Prince not being Prince during his insane years.

If Orion Pax knew the suffering his brother went though, he would've tried to convince him that violence is not always the answer. I also believe if Megatron overthrew the corrupt government of Cybertron, he wouldn't have to fear becoming a slave again. Can you also do the shattered glass transformers?

When life wants you to suffer, only the few make through it. Megatron is an excellent example that nothing has the power to determine his fate. He developed, became wiser, stronger, faster and most importantly he has the strongest will (out of all Cybertronians), that's why he achieved so much. I will always love him.

Heck yeah Megatron is one of the best villain of all time

I honestly think he was on point for his own rule... he did it for his race ... technically like a Roman that was a slave and finally got into politics... so technically wouldn't the autobots be the rebels ? Because they're not about cybertron they're more for earth ....so more eye of the beholder...

One of the most iconic villains in transformers history this video is long overdue.

I liked the original ending of DOTM better before it was cut. When Megatron is tired of fighting and offers a genuine truce, which Optimus reluctantly agrees to. Then Megatron leaving back to Cybertron to rebuild it

Honestly I don't see Megatron as a villain yes he did evil things but his motivation wasn't. I feel the same way about magneto. They wanted the same thing as their adversary but went about it in the wrong (violent) way. I personally see MLK and Malcolm X in the two stories

I mean if you really look at it megaton was tired of an oppressive regime so he fought back, sounds like any oppressed ppls

I actually don't hate Megatron, if anything, the Autobots annoy me more, especially after the Prime Origin story. His cause is something I can get behind, abolishing the Cybertronian Caste System and granting equality to all, and it some universes the revival of the homeland. Also all they wanted in G1 was booze, so 👌

Wrong the higher class was corupt and did not care for the lower class getting killed and damaged in kon city and megatron was try to help but hate did fill his heart and he became a killer

Sorry but Megatron is not Megatron without his giant arm canon!

Nobody talks about the brother of Megatron because his family was embarrassed. His name is Gendertron and he's the LGBT brother that Megatron wants to keep a secret.

The bad guys on earth killed murdered and squished every single race of humans they could possibly do and animals and trees and buildings and created a new cyber Tron on earth. Thank you so much Megatron! The human race is no more! Life on earth is no more! And people love Megatron because he’s a cool strong bad guy. Us humans will do the same thing

U know as I sat here and watched this video I realized that I'm old as shit. I remember when The Transformers were animals. Shit is crazy. Like watching the last movie with the Dino- Transformers. Anybody else besides me remember when they were all animals?
