NO! Red eyes do not mean evil, and this is why...

- This only applies to the aligned continuity (Transformers Prime is the heart of the analysis). Long ago when I looked into the question, I found that different eye colours seem to be a natural phenomenon that means nothing about the personality of a Cybertronian. We should discredit the Megatron with blue eyes scene because of the logic of the rest of the universe.
Soundwave:”You guys are getting eyes?”
The biggest argument against red=evil is honestly that red means... probably nothing to cybertronians. We, humans, associate red with bad things because it's the color our blood and bleeding is obviously a bad thing. If anything, blue would be the bad color to them since their blood is blue. Although it's the color it shares with their primary source of nurishment, so I'd say blue is neutral to them as well.
Lets not forget Airachnid, her eyes are purple yet she's as cold as Megatron.
I agree that the flashback scene is a bit confusing. My theory is that Megatron naturally has red optics and a more menacing frame, but had himself reformatted to appeal to higher caste bots and the council so that they would offer him the position of prime. When Orion Pax was given the title, he reverted to his natural optic color and later a more ferocious appearance. He no longer wanted or needed to appeal to higher caste bots.
I think the whole Blue eyes Red eyes thing is just something that harkens all the way back to G1. Decepticons had red because red eyes are scary. Autobots had blue eyes since blue is calming. It's a reference.
Rescue Bots Boulder has Yellow eyes, Blades has Orange, and Heatwave has red, Blurr has Purple. Salvage and Hightide have green eyes. Chase and Quickshadow are the only members with blue eyes, and all of them are autobots.
Megatron just got really disappointed after the high counsel rejected him, so he just smoked weed and it permanently turned his eyes red
"...unless you're doing drugs" and a piece where Megatron is being uh... under Dark Energon... Damn, you have a sense of humor
While we don't have to change Scream's eyes to blue, its damn funny in Stop Me when he has a meltdown after Ratchet changes his colors
I think it’s a matter, like the Bumblebee movie, where red is meant to signify rage, more so primal, deep rooted anger…
“ Eye Color is just eye color. Unless they are doing drugs”
Megatronus: Hey, Solas, i like you.
Actually, the thing behind eye color was the optics themselves, if you read the books.
“Riddle me this fam”
I honestly thought that the color differences were primarily due to in built protocols and nutrient availability during creation, since I've seen it a pretty common theory that optics for Cybertronians are made from crystal structures, which would be altered by presences of different metals and minerals. Energon, being a mineral itself and likely one of the most common on Cybertron, would cause blue optics to be quite common as the crystalline optic structures absorbed the mineral. Being a planet made of metal, different metals likely had different concentrations in different areas, inducing crystal color shifts depending on those concentrations- Red coming from areas with high content, other forms of blue coming from high copper content, green from low oxygen, etc etc.
Interestingly enough, in WfC and FoC red is a signature colour of the Autobots, and purple was the Decepticons'. But in the first mission of WfC Decepticon campaign we've seen yellow-coloured Autobots.
Your voice is so calm and chill
I think sometimes it's just aesthetic ✨ Knockout would tell you-

People forgetting that Optimus Primal had red eyes and was leader of the Maximals.
