well, i think a lot of the reason people might claim the 2nd film is strongest is because he killed Optimus, but it's important to note that Optimus was: 1. alone 2. stabbed in the back while tired from fighting 3. already fighting off Megatron, Grindor and Starscream all at once 4. The autobots only came to his help AFTER he got stabbed, so i guess they took a wrong turn at some freeway?
It's a bit hard to remain as strong as you were when you died, got resurrected, died again, resurrected in a new body and had that same body restructured into a new form.
@@treyrex5987 you also have to take into the equation something that was the entire plot of TF2, the dangerously low Energon's reserves, which wasn't enough to fully heal battle wounds.
I agree with this list entirely! Megatron was the strongest in the first movie since he tossed Optimus around like a rag doll. In the second movie, Optimus gained the upper hand during the forest battle which forced Megatron to call reinforcements. Optimus only died since he was distracted. He wasn’t as intimidating in the third movie as he was in the first one. As Galvatron, he was invincible since he had a hole in his chest. In the fifth movie, his robot design was so awesome!
I think Optimus only got beaten up in the first film because he was trying to talk Megatron down more than kill him, Optimus was fighting to stop him whereas Megatron was fighting to kill him
@Royal Fantasy I was going to say. If Megatron was Galvatron with the Allspark shoved in his chest, it would’ve been eaten up by the hole in his chest.
Definitely the first film all the Deceptions lost character and power in the later films. I dont even think Decepticons were in TF4. Humans are more technologically advanced than Transformers?!?
Well, humans are know to quickly adapt new technologies into their own, soooo yeah, while not stronger physically (obvious), the TF LA humans could be a bit more advanced technologically, however you have to take into account that they were also getting weaker because there wasn't enough energon to repair enough wounds.
@@danielm.595 I'll give you lack of energon only because Michael Bay didnt follow the source material. The Transformers made energon from Earths energy sources. Michael Bay didnt follow his own source material with the Allspark. But, first movie Blackout is taking multiple rounds and missile in the military base and LA. Now one missile kills them. And humans dont reverse engineer a million years of technology in 4 yrs. You give us too much credit. The only thing the 3rd move got right was Decepticons forcing humans to work for them

I like Last Knight Megatron the best. He may not have had a lot of screen time or the lingering threat appeal that the first one had, but when he did show up... it was a party. I love the design. Very Ancient Cybertronian esqu with the jet and robot mode as well as weapons. Dark of the Moon is my second favorite.

I really wish they had explained how galvatron transformed back into megatron. but I do think megatron was amazing in 2007 I still remember the times he gave me nightmares lol
Especially in the first script. He didn’t want to fight in a endless war so he made a deal with prime he left earth with his team and tried to rebuild cyber tron by himself
Megatron is at his strongest in the first movie in 2007. This was when he's the undisputed leader, in all the other movies he plays time a subservient role to the main villian. Plus, Megatron needed backup almost every time he fought Optimus Prime. *I joke to my Brother that Megatron is damaged goods after the first movie but its true
A factor that always seems to be overlooked in this is that optimus and the autobots were also at their weakest in tf1 due to their being chased throughout the cosmos in protoform mode while megatron was preserved at his peak in the ice and the decepticons had the clear edge in terms of military tech, and resources. I have to give a slight edge to tf5 megatron because he alone carried the decepticons nearly to victory when the rest aside from nitro Zeus kicked the bucket pretty early in the film. Also we know from what Joshua Joyce said that he reinforced the transformers he built with tougher and leaner materials, which quintessa then added upon and reinforced further in tlk. Without a doubt in terms of sheer brawn I think it is clear that tf5 megatron is stronger for enduring 3 battles back to back with no medical support, raking on the human military and autobots equipped with sufficiently strong weaponry to efficiently kill decepticons, and the real tell to me was pinning optimus to the ground with one hand. In every other film that required 2 hands and I think that alone is roughly enough support for my argument.
Fun fact: Optimus and Megatron had never fought before prior to their 07' encounter. When referring to what we know, Megatron left Cybertron thousands of years ago, and Sentinel left in The Ark shortly after. Which means Optimus would've had to take over for his mentor and lead the Autobots. With Megatron on Earth frozen in the Arctic Circle, it's impossible for them to have fought eachother in the war. The "Megatron!" "PRIMEE!" interaction is a whole lot cooler with that context.
RandomBlackGamer With all due respect, those don't make a whole lot of sense canonically, seeing as how Optimus wasn't in the war at the same time Megatron was. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Optimus only take over once Sentinel left the planet? And Sentinel left after Megatron did cause he was supposed to rendezvous with him on Earth. So...logically, Optimus would've never had the chance to fight Megatron.
Tbh TF5 was his strongest. U know TF1 Optimus is the weakest optimus. Also TF5 meg fought multiple autobots and even with only one arm he almost beat tf5 strongest optimus(maybe strongest or tf2 optimus may be stronger)
I definitely agree that DOTM Megs was the coolest-looking of the movie Megatrons, but also the weakest of them. I’m a sucker for the whole damaged-desert-warrior look he had in the film, and the truck mode was a decent Idea, making him more of a direct counterpart to Optimus. But he did basically nothing but sit and watch all the fights go down and only fight once for like, 10 seconds.
In all fairness to Meg5, he was legit the only other person meaningfully doing stuff on his team. Nitro Zeus for some reason lasted even after Megatron was kicked out of the fighting area and led to fall to his death. Meanwhile: Mohawk died alone and without any fanfare Onslaught died by getting double-teamed by Drift and Crosshairs Dreadbot got chewed up by Grimlock and just up and died Barricade, while pretty active in the earlier portion of the film, suddenly left the final battle, or was killed offscreen.
@@francescolombardi3438 I don't know why they chose a tow truck for onslaught rather than his anti-aircraft truck which is what he was most prominently shown and we just need swindle and blastoff to form bruticus
@@TCTheDS replace Mohawk with Swindle, replace Dreadbot with Blastoff, and if Nitro Zeus is replaced by a...."spare" Brawl, then we'd actually get the Combaticons in the movie, and maybe we wouldn't have to dedicate some of the cgi budget to the Infernocons, who don't talk, are barely on screen for more than 3 minutes, and get taken out all at once WITH JUST ONE SWING.
How i see Megatron: TF1: omg he's TERRIFYING TF2: Still badass when he's returned TF3: mmm okay i guess? TF4: yo this is the same dude with a different form TF5: a joke. (Good design tho)
@@wishsuccess5995 i mean he's not as terrifying as he was in the first movie anymore, and people started to get bored with his appearance. idk it's just my opinion. But i admit his design in TF5 is decent
Good stuff. The 2nd version is as u said, underrated cuz his new cannon arm with a giant retractable blade is a majer advantage. Plus he,s a space tank. Hard to beat a cannon/blade weapon and a space/tank
TF 2007 and TF:TLK Megatron are by far the best incarnations of Megatron in the movies. TF 2007 Megatron is such a powerhouse and a tank that Optimus struggles to even put a dent to Megatron and is getting ragdolled by him. The power gap between the two is just immense that Optimus didn't even bother to think that he could stand a chance against Megatron in a fight and would rather go suicidal with the Allspark just to end the war. TF:TLK Megatron is also strong, and is definitely close to the level of his peak strength like in the 2007 movie. The dude is on par or even slightly stronger to the strongest Optimus incarnation we've got so far. He fought four Autobots at once and he even managed to pin down Optimus with just one arm. It's a shame we didn't get to see more of him in that movie.
I have and own all of them andI love 'Transformers especially the O.G. versions. Hopefully they make another "Fall of Cybertron game like the first game. Good video RBG👏👏👏👏👏
my favorite design for Megatron is the dotm version. but there's a few things I'd change if I were in charge of his design. 1. make his alt mode clean and a shiny silver and black, as a callback to his g1 colors (but the worn look is cool also) 2. give him his fusion cannon from tlk, retractable sword from rotf, and chain whip from tf-2007 3. make him as strong, intelligent, and agile as he was in tf-2007, aoe, and tlk 4. have him team up with the autobots to fight quintessa 5. frank Welker voice from tf prime
The reason why the design changes can't be applied is because Megatron in DOTM was literaly rusty. His alt mode was showing who he became after ROTF: A strong warrior who got badly injured, humiliated, lost hopes of victory, can't fight anymore because he's been away of the battlefield for a long time, and can't comeback since he has no one with him (no army). He was far from the first Megatron, who had looks that described him perfectly (a big ass two-hand cannon and an alt mode that looks too badass to be real).
I love the tf5 megatron design more than any of the others His design combines quintessa’s knightly aesthetic with the best part of his designs from the aligned continuity designs just wish he was more of a threat on his own he definitely appears stronger than 2007 megatron with superior armour and weapons and he’s not even confirmed dead he was only kicked through the wall he could still fly in his bot mode we sadly will never get to see his return but he absolutely survived
Honestly the Revenge of the Fallen Megatron is my favourite form of the Live Action Movie Megatron's. I loved how it was all asymmetrical, the giant shoulder spoke on one side just screams Megatron for me nowadays. I'm hoping that as the reboot continues, we keep the Megatron looking spiky gimmick. I'm a fan of how Megatron looked in the original Cartoon. But still, Megatron being a Cybertronian vehicle, his head fully visible, his body spiky and looking like I would hurt to even try to punch him. Standing high above all other transformers, even Prime himself. That's what I'm hoping we get to see as the reboot continues.
Between TF5 and TF1 I'd argue TF1 is the weaker one, the reason is because the Optimus Prime he fought is far weaker in TF1 than TF5. Although Optimus could have been holding back due to the heavy population of Mission City, while the Forest Battle had just him, Sam, and the Decepticons.
If I ever get the opportunity to make my own Transformers film series, I'll make sure that every third party villain that was in the bayverse becomes a name on Megatron's list of known victims.
Well, I like all the Megatron’s in their own respected ways. Tf1 Megatron was a beast, and who could have destroyed all the Autobots if Sam was gone. Tf2 Megatron is one of the coolest, the blade arm was a sick weapon when used right. Tf3 Megatron is not bad, he was actually the first Megatron form I ever saw, even had a toy of him. Tf4 Megatron/Galvatron is very underrated, and I think he should’ve had more screen time. Tf5 Megatron is one of the best transformers and my 2nd fav Megatron design. He just battled everyone and is my pick for the strongest, as it literally took an army of Autobots to take em down.
I think the shotgun was not just a replacement due to wanting a cooler Megatron look but him contemplating on his mistakes, think about how his body in tf1 is balanced, then 2 it’s thrown off due to the pincer right arm and skeletal left arm
It's such a disappointment that Galvatron didn't have any fight scenes as mentionedin the video too. He looked so cool, still didn't get a chance to reveal his true power because of the screen time and the lack of his weapons. Otherwise Galvatron was the coolest of all Megatron forms in my opinion.
You know when Transformers the ride Megatron was kind of a combination of his first reformed true he was mostly Dark of the Moon Megatron but he was at the physical and mental capacity of his first form while also sporting Fusion Cannon of his second form he's going to be just as powerful and formidable as the first movies interation while maintaining the cool design of the third in the weapon of the second so I might actually consider him a six variation maybe should have been included in this
I do think that megaton may had gotten slower and lost some things in revenge of the fallen but he also got and gained some things too so I don’t think he got much weaker, that Extra weight and new vehicle form came to use in some situations, and optimus got stronger From Tf1 to TF2 Here’s my list you guys can judge it 5. TF4 4. DOTM 3. TF2 2. TF5 1. TF1
@@welcomeboi8991 I commented this 2 years ago, and I still rams by it that age of extinction Megatron was the weakest, maybe tf3 megatron would lose but definitely not tf2
first form of Megatron in bayformers was by far his strongest because he was most familiar with his gear then in DOTM, TLK etc. he goes weaker due to major gear changes and then being forced to get used to having a new body, weaponry than all of his old ones. so his Cybertronian form was much stronger
Tbh TF5 was his strongest. U know TF1 Optimus is the weakest optimus. Also TF5 meg fought multiple autobots and even with only one arm he almost beat tf5 strongest optimus(maybe strongest or tf2 optimus may be stronger)
In my opinion I think the how in how megaton got his new form in the last knight is that quintessential easily altered his form to suit his needs perfectly even more than his original form
Does feel like TLK Megatron is like a Gladiator more than a Knight (and a mix of Viking) and there are some clues behind why (Just an opinion.) 1. His armor design does bare similarities to the gladiator and Viking armor, with the shoulder pad on each side, with one on the left having a spike, and the plating on his arm that resemble a gauntlet. His head accessories has a horn in-front of his face. 2. Gladiator are known for their violent and ruthless which does correlate with Megatron since he's known for his Tyrant and Arrogant personality. The design represent him very well. 3. Megatron just need a new drip to compete with Prime Knight design.
another flaw for megatron rotf, is his hand cannon carried some weight so it was hard for him to fight with hit, that's why he missed a shot at optimums juring the forest fight (he was about to shoot optimus when blackouts helicopter blade came flying at megatron, the blade hit him and through his aim off, this incident caused him to shoot the side, which also in thiis process brought him to his knees).
Fun fact about age of extinction galvatron,so ive been reading up why he had a hole in his chest. Basically he shoved primes energon blade into his chest,disarming prime while he can fight prime
@@normanpopcultureboy8563 Bruh the g1 design is basically a bunch of white printed cardboard boxes put together along with a long barrel and some paint
@@revampedrenegotiate that’s because it’s the armor of you watch the scene when megatron was rebuilt into galvatron by unicron you can see how complex they are when you remove the Blocky armor
For Bay films hopefully not it's best to let sleeping dogs lie in this case unless you want to see Megatron and the Deceptions to get disrespected even further. As for the reboot hopefully there are more movies.
this is a solid analysis of Megatron. His battle injuries and modification were consistent through all the Transformer movies... never seen another production company do that... Yo have to figure Earth tech is woefully behind cybertronian tech, so why would Galvatron be uber powerful. Given some time and rebuilding, the final stage should have been slightly stronger but not as powerful as a General fresh on to hunt, like in movie 1.
His bumblebee concept art, gives him his G1 look but with his 07 size, soI got a feelin, his bumblebee movie counterpart if shown would be the strongest
I just think that for the most part they had little to no clue what they were doing with Megatron. He his intimidation factor went downhill after the first movie and he was literally relagated to a sideline role after that even though he should have been this big scary bad guy who keeps coming back and nearly killing everyone
In my opinion TF3 megatron is underrated! I feel like if he had the same spirit that he did in TF1 he could beat Optimus prime and even sentinel prime, also the only reason Optimus killed megatron was because he was caught by surprise! Also my ranking for Megatrons versions 1st: TF1 Megatron 2nd: TF TLK Megatron 3rd: TF AOE galvatron 4th: TF3 Megatron 5th/last: TF2 Megatron
For the best Megatron, I would say it's the 2007 one. That version of Megatron was just the purest incarnation of badass. However, for the strongest version, I would say its the TLK one. My reasoning being is his attitude. In TLK, Megs actually uses his brain unlike in 2007 where he was too reckless. The guy called a retreat when the battle didn't go their way in the town but if it was 07 Megs, I doubt he would even consider that. His not so reckless attitude, buffed up body and adaptation to his own weaknesses (such as using a sword because he lost too many times to Prime's sword) is what makes it the strongest in my opinion. Also, let's not forget about the part where after he got his hand sliced off, he quickly put Prime's own blade at his throat and with the classic bad guy monologue, Prime survived I'm not too surprised about Megatron being weak in ROTF and DOTM. In ROTF, it almost seemed like he was new to fighting. As a kid, I didn't understand why but now, I do. Guy must have felt like he wasn't using his own body. In DOTM, well, can anyone actually fight at their peak when their injuries are still visible? If it's scars already then maybe but that kind of injury? Doubt it
This is my first video of watching your RUclips channel and content is awesome bc I’m a huge fan of TF and I grew up watching these movies since I was 3-4 and now I’m 16 so keep doing you💙🔥💯
Finally back with another TF discussion. Which form of Megatron do you think is the strongest?
RandomBlackGamer I love you
well, i think a lot of the reason people might claim the 2nd film is strongest is because he killed Optimus, but it's important to note that Optimus was:
1. alone
2. stabbed in the back while tired from fighting
3. already fighting off Megatron, Grindor and Starscream all at once
4. The autobots only came to his help AFTER he got stabbed, so i guess they took a wrong turn at some freeway?
I think 07 Megatron is the strongest in my opinion. He was an absolute menace. And as a 7 year old he scared when I saw the first film.
The wierd thing is that in the games he fully absorbed the allspark without dying, even gaining a major power boost.
Tlk megatron originally was going to turn into a dragon

@@TheShape45 He was referring to the former version of Optimus Prime (a.k.a. Orion Pax) before joining Megatron, not Sam.
That was in Transformers Prime. Probably because Orion Pax became a Prime, strongest of the Transformers

A factor that always seems to be overlooked in this is that optimus and the autobots were also at their weakest in tf1 due to their being chased throughout the cosmos in protoform mode while megatron was preserved at his peak in the ice and the decepticons had the clear edge in terms of military tech, and resources. I have to give a slight edge to tf5 megatron because he alone carried the decepticons nearly to victory when the rest aside from nitro Zeus kicked the bucket pretty early in the film. Also we know from what Joshua Joyce said that he reinforced the transformers he built with tougher and leaner materials, which quintessa then added upon and reinforced further in tlk. Without a doubt in terms of sheer brawn I think it is clear that tf5 megatron is stronger for enduring 3 battles back to back with no medical support, raking on the human military and autobots equipped with sufficiently strong weaponry to efficiently kill decepticons, and the real tell to me was pinning optimus to the ground with one hand. In every other film that required 2 hands and I think that alone is roughly enough support for my argument.
Fun fact: Optimus and Megatron had never fought before prior to their 07' encounter. When referring to what we know, Megatron left Cybertron thousands of years ago, and Sentinel left in The Ark shortly after. Which means Optimus would've had to take over for his mentor and lead the Autobots. With Megatron on Earth frozen in the Arctic Circle, it's impossible for them to have fought eachother in the war. The "Megatron!" "PRIMEE!" interaction is a whole lot cooler with that context.
Not sure if you chose not to include these but they had a couple fights in the tie-in comics.
RandomBlackGamer With all due respect, those don't make a whole lot of sense canonically, seeing as how Optimus wasn't in the war at the same time Megatron was. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Optimus only take over once Sentinel left the planet? And Sentinel left after Megatron did cause he was supposed to rendezvous with him on Earth. So...logically, Optimus would've never had the chance to fight Megatron.
I love the tf1 and tf3 megatron
Let’s go RBG you a real one bruh I remember you told me you was going to drop it and you did 💪🏾💯
Yup. You were the only 1 I told. Couldn't wait to drop it for you guys ^_^
07 megatron was probably the best version and strongest. We needed more
Tbh TF5 was his strongest. U know TF1 Optimus is the weakest optimus. Also TF5 meg fought multiple autobots and even with only one arm he almost beat tf5 strongest optimus(maybe strongest or tf2 optimus may be stronger)
0:25, Megatron's mouth looks horrifying here, and I thought TF1 Megs looked horrifying enough. Great video!
I hated Optimus Prime for killing Megatron in Dark of the Moon.. Loved the ROTF look of Megatron but his badaassery in TF1 is unmatched..
I definitely agree that DOTM Megs was the coolest-looking of the movie Megatrons, but also the weakest of them. I’m a sucker for the whole damaged-desert-warrior look he had in the film, and the truck mode was a decent Idea, making him more of a direct counterpart to Optimus. But he did basically nothing but sit and watch all the fights go down and only fight once for like, 10 seconds.
2007 Megatron was an indestructible master of war who lived for combat.
I think tf5 Megatron is number one he overpowered optimus for a second with one arm in took on all the autobots in the final battle
In all fairness to Meg5, he was legit the only other person meaningfully doing stuff on his team. Nitro Zeus for some reason lasted even after Megatron was kicked out of the fighting area and led to fall to his death.
Meanwhile:
Mohawk died alone and without any fanfare
Onslaught died by getting double-teamed by Drift and Crosshairs
Dreadbot got chewed up by Grimlock and just up and died
Barricade, while pretty active in the earlier portion of the film, suddenly left the final battle, or was killed offscreen.
For a second
@@obama_cricket true
@@francescolombardi3438 I don't know why they chose a tow truck for onslaught rather than his anti-aircraft truck which is what he was most prominently shown and we just need swindle and blastoff to form bruticus
@@TCTheDS replace Mohawk with Swindle, replace Dreadbot with Blastoff, and if Nitro Zeus is replaced by a...."spare" Brawl, then we'd actually get the Combaticons in the movie, and maybe we wouldn't have to dedicate some of the cgi budget to the Infernocons, who don't talk, are barely on screen for more than 3 minutes, and get taken out all at once WITH JUST ONE SWING.
How i see Megatron:
TF1: omg he's TERRIFYING
TF2: Still badass when he's returned
TF3: mmm okay i guess?
TF4: yo this is the same dude with a different form
TF5: a joke. (Good design tho)
Lmfao how was TF5 Megatron a joke ?
@@wishsuccess5995 i mean he's not as terrifying as he was in the first movie anymore, and people started to get bored with his appearance. idk it's just my opinion. But i admit his design in TF5 is decent
Hugo Weaving was the perfect Person to voice Megatron IMO
Ironically Hugo Weaving hated playing Megatron.
Chad Peterson seriously?
@@chadpeterson5698 indifference =/= hate
@just a guy playing minecraft i didn't get any of that when I watched the first 3 transformers movies.
@just a guy playing minecraft Too bad Frank Welker came in only at the last and shittiest movie
Good stuff. The 2nd version is as u said, underrated cuz his new cannon arm with a giant retractable blade is a majer advantage. Plus he,s a space tank. Hard to beat a cannon/blade weapon and a space/tank
megatron was like starscreen in dark of the moon
Fax
His weapon in tf2 made him off balance
Yeah
TF 2007 and TF:TLK Megatron are by far the best incarnations of Megatron in the movies. TF 2007 Megatron is such a powerhouse and a tank that Optimus struggles to even put a dent to Megatron and is getting ragdolled by him. The power gap between the two is just immense that Optimus didn't even bother to think that he could stand a chance against Megatron in a fight and would rather go suicidal with the Allspark just to end the war.
TF:TLK Megatron is also strong, and is definitely close to the level of his peak strength like in the 2007 movie. The dude is on par or even slightly stronger to the strongest Optimus incarnation we've got so far. He fought four Autobots at once and he even managed to pin down Optimus with just one arm. It's a shame we didn't get to see more of him in that movie.
Bro i have never watched you... I watch a lot of youtube... NEVER seen a transition that smooth. Never... Good job.
I have and own all of them andI love 'Transformers especially the O.G. versions. Hopefully they make another "Fall of Cybertron game like the first game. Good video RBG👏👏👏👏👏
I always thought that tf 1 Megatron was the coolest and most powerful Version of him
I totally agree with your ranking. Two thumbs up!
I love transformers and your videos this is my childhood
07 was his strongest form since he was already used to his new body unlike the others when he constantly kept getting new bodies
I remember watching Transformers 1-4 movies as a kid and teen with my mom in the movie theater, good times bruh.
I feel sorry for jazz he was one of my favorites and he died right off the bat when I first watched the movie he was so sad
my favorite design for Megatron is the dotm version. but there's a few things I'd change if I were in charge of his design.
1. make his alt mode clean and a shiny silver and black, as a callback to his g1 colors (but the worn look is cool also)
2. give him his fusion cannon from tlk, retractable sword from rotf, and chain whip from tf-2007
3. make him as strong, intelligent, and agile as he was in tf-2007, aoe, and tlk
4. have him team up with the autobots to fight quintessa
5. frank Welker voice from tf prime
The reason why the design changes can't be applied is because Megatron in DOTM was literaly rusty. His alt mode was showing who he became after ROTF: A strong warrior who got badly injured, humiliated, lost hopes of victory, can't fight anymore because he's been away of the battlefield for a long time, and can't comeback since he has no one with him (no army). He was far from the first Megatron, who had looks that described him perfectly (a big ass two-hand cannon and an alt mode that looks too badass to be real).
This could be in Rise of the Beasts. The only difference is that he would have the TLK head and the rest of his body from TF07
I’d say that first film megatron is definitely the strongest, although his last knight version might be very highly up there.
honestly i like tf5 megatron more he just feels more like megatron than the previous films depicted him
TF1 Megatron was literally feared by the Autobots. He is definitely the most powerful version
I love the tf5 megatron design more than any of the others
His design combines quintessa’s knightly aesthetic with the best part of his designs from the aligned continuity designs just wish he was more of a threat on his own he definitely appears stronger than 2007 megatron with superior armour and weapons and he’s not even confirmed dead he was only kicked through the wall he could still fly in his bot mode we sadly will never get to see his return but he absolutely survived
I love that MEGATRON always have a badass and cool design in every transformers
Honestly the Revenge of the Fallen Megatron is my favourite form of the Live Action Movie Megatron's. I loved how it was all asymmetrical, the giant shoulder spoke on one side just screams Megatron for me nowadays. I'm hoping that as the reboot continues, we keep the Megatron looking spiky gimmick. I'm a fan of how Megatron looked in the original Cartoon. But still, Megatron being a Cybertronian vehicle, his head fully visible, his body spiky and looking like I would hurt to even try to punch him. Standing high above all other transformers, even Prime himself. That's what I'm hoping we get to see as the reboot continues.
Between TF5 and TF1 I'd argue TF1 is the weaker one, the reason is because the Optimus Prime he fought is far weaker in TF1 than TF5. Although Optimus could have been holding back due to the heavy population of Mission City, while the Forest Battle had just him, Sam, and the Decepticons.
also he didn't fought multiple Autobots simultaneously
Oooooooorr they writing in the movies went to shit after the first film
For me Transformers 1 Megatron was the most powerful & the best version
I loved his dark of moon look.he looked so badass with that hood and mismatched parts and chains.i loved it
If I ever get the opportunity to make my own Transformers film series, I'll make sure that every third party villain that was in the bayverse becomes a name on Megatron's list of known victims.
Well, I like all the Megatron’s in their own respected ways.
Tf1 Megatron was a beast, and who could have destroyed all the Autobots if Sam was gone.
Tf2 Megatron is one of the coolest, the blade arm was a sick weapon when used right.
Tf3 Megatron is not bad, he was actually the first Megatron form I ever saw, even had a toy of him.
Tf4 Megatron/Galvatron is very underrated, and I think he should’ve had more screen time.
Tf5 Megatron is one of the best transformers and my 2nd fav Megatron design. He just battled everyone and is my pick for the strongest, as it literally took an army of Autobots to take em down.
Galvatron is the megatron with biggest screen time
@@TheShape45 he was? I don’t remember him being in the film that much.
Really looking forward to seeing how powerful he is in Transformers 1990, given how tall he was shown to be!
Me too. I can't wait to see his design!
probably as powerful as G1 aka able to pick up and chuck trains
Optimus is 7 feet shorter, he is 28 feet.
6:36 i like the way he looks during that as its more proportioned out.
I think the shotgun was not just a replacement due to wanting a cooler Megatron look but him contemplating on his mistakes, think about how his body in tf1 is balanced, then 2 it’s thrown off due to the pincer right arm and skeletal left arm
Imagine tf5 armor with tf1 megatron personality is so badass
He still played the secondary character in part 2,3, and 5
"Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." (Transforms into Tractor mode and hauls ass)
(You Got the Touch starts playing)
Love that "Tekken music in the background👍
Optimus - Prime
Sentinel - Prime
Mega - Tron
Galva - Tron
Am i right ey?
I laughed so hard when you said. Thanks to a infusion of parts from ZEE LITTLE ONE
It's such a disappointment that Galvatron didn't have any fight scenes as mentionedin the video too.
He looked so cool, still didn't get a chance to reveal his true power because of the screen time and the lack of his weapons. Otherwise Galvatron was the coolest of all Megatron forms in my opinion.
That tekken 5 music💗💗
You know when Transformers the ride Megatron was kind of a combination of his first reformed true he was mostly Dark of the Moon Megatron but he was at the physical and mental capacity of his first form while also sporting Fusion Cannon of his second form he's going to be just as powerful and formidable as the first movies interation while maintaining the cool design of the third in the weapon of the second so I might actually consider him a six variation maybe should have been included in this
I do think that megaton may had gotten slower and lost some things in revenge of the fallen but he also got and gained some things too so I don’t think he got much weaker, that Extra weight and new vehicle form came to use in some situations, and optimus got stronger From Tf1 to TF2
Here’s my list you guys can judge it
5. TF4
4. DOTM
3. TF2
2. TF5
1. TF1
TF4 destroys TF3 and TF2
@@welcomeboi8991 I commented this 2 years ago, and I still rams by it that age of extinction Megatron was the weakest, maybe tf3 megatron would lose but definitely not tf2
My favorite version of megatron is the cybertronian tank because it's one of my favorite alternate mode's of megatron.
first form of Megatron in bayformers was by far his strongest because he was most familiar with his gear then in DOTM, TLK etc.
he goes weaker due to major gear changes and then being forced to get used to having a new body, weaponry than all of his old ones.
so his Cybertronian form was much stronger
Tbh TF5 was his strongest. U know TF1 Optimus is the weakest optimus. Also TF5 meg fought multiple autobots and even with only one arm he almost beat tf5 strongest optimus(maybe strongest or tf2 optimus may be stronger)
They where still able to get a few good hits tf5 Megatron and prime was able to kick him out the fortress
Love your TFer segments!!! You need to do more Bro!
In my opinion I think the how in how megaton got his new form in the last knight is that quintessential easily altered his form to suit his needs perfectly even more than his original form
Does feel like TLK Megatron is like a Gladiator more than a Knight (and a mix of Viking) and there are some clues behind why (Just an opinion.)
1. His armor design does bare similarities to the gladiator and Viking armor, with the shoulder pad on each side, with one on the left having a spike, and the plating on his arm that resemble a gauntlet. His head accessories has a horn in-front of his face.
2. Gladiator are known for their violent and ruthless which does correlate with Megatron since he's known for his Tyrant and Arrogant personality. The design represent him very well.
3. Megatron just need a new drip to compete with Prime Knight design.
another flaw for megatron rotf, is his hand cannon carried some weight so it was hard for him to fight with hit, that's why he missed a shot at optimums juring the forest fight (he was about to shoot optimus when blackouts helicopter blade came flying at megatron, the blade hit him and through his aim off, this incident caused him to shoot the side, which also in thiis process brought him to his knees).
"Hello welcome to Macdonalds would you like a big Mac?"
"NO, I want TWO"
Megatron looks like the emperor from subnautica in transformers 5 LOL
I can't agree less this is my favourite transformers video. Everything you have said is down right.Im huge fan of TF1 Megatron
Fun fact about age of extinction galvatron,so ive been reading up why he had a hole in his chest. Basically he shoved primes energon blade into his chest,disarming prime while he can fight prime
8:20 mega trim was also originally supposed to team up with Optimus prime so they made him softer than usual to make his change not be so sudden
Megatron originally going to have his G1 design but when Michael Bay was sent to direct it he changed the design that him looked out of a blender
frenzy looks like you took G1 frenzy dumped him into a vat of lava until his exoskeleton melts off and whats left is his basic frame
So Megatron was originally going to be a couple of cardboard boxes put together?
@@revampedrenegotiate ???
@@normanpopcultureboy8563 Bruh the g1 design is basically a bunch of white printed cardboard boxes put together along with a long barrel and some paint
@@revampedrenegotiate that’s because it’s the armor of you watch the scene when megatron was rebuilt into galvatron by unicron you can see how complex they are when you remove the Blocky armor
Is there going to be another transformers movie coming soon?
Not sure if we'll be getting 1 soon but I know there are multiple movies coming.
RandomBlackGamer good and keep up the great work homie!
For Bay films hopefully not it's best to let sleeping dogs lie in this case unless you want to see Megatron and the Deceptions to get disrespected even further.
As for the reboot hopefully there are more movies.
@@basedpota it was already delayed, it was supposed to be release this 2021 but COVID happened, but idk
I think a reboot is coming out in summer 2021
4:40,More people should talk about that scene
Megatron being strong just to be killed by a one armed autobot
MEGATRON'S DESIGNS FROM. STRONGEST TO WEAKEST.......
1. TF3: DOTM
2. TF
3. TF2: ROTF
4. TF5: TLK
"You want peice of me, huh?!"
"No, I want two"
this is a solid analysis of Megatron. His battle injuries and modification were consistent through all the Transformer movies... never seen another production company do that... Yo have to figure Earth tech is woefully behind cybertronian tech, so why would Galvatron be uber powerful. Given some time and rebuilding, the final stage should have been slightly stronger but not as powerful as a General fresh on to hunt, like in movie 1.
Good stuff, good stuff. The first two r my favourites
His bumblebee concept art, gives him his G1 look but with his 07 size, soI got a feelin, his bumblebee movie counterpart if shown would be the strongest
I personally think last knight Megatron might be stronger than 2007 Megatron, even if it's just a little bit.
I just think that for the most part they had little to no clue what they were doing with Megatron. He his intimidation factor went downhill after the first movie and he was literally relagated to a sideline role after that even though he should have been this big scary bad guy who keeps coming back and nearly killing everyone
My favorite Megatron looks are
1. TF1
2. TF3
3. TF5
4. TF2
5. Optimus Prime.
1000th. Galvatron. Lowest of the low
In my opinion TF3 megatron is underrated! I feel like if he had the same spirit that he did in TF1 he could beat Optimus prime and even sentinel prime, also the only reason Optimus killed megatron was because he was caught by surprise! Also my ranking for Megatrons versions
1st: TF1 Megatron
2nd: TF TLK Megatron
3rd: TF AOE galvatron
4th: TF3 Megatron
5th/last: TF2 Megatron
Megatron looks like he was already rusting in ROTF
In his new body dosent he have nanobots? Can’t he transform into anything now??
For the best Megatron, I would say it's the 2007 one. That version of Megatron was just the purest incarnation of badass. However, for the strongest version, I would say its the TLK one. My reasoning being is his attitude. In TLK, Megs actually uses his brain unlike in 2007 where he was too reckless. The guy called a retreat when the battle didn't go their way in the town but if it was 07 Megs, I doubt he would even consider that. His not so reckless attitude, buffed up body and adaptation to his own weaknesses (such as using a sword because he lost too many times to Prime's sword) is what makes it the strongest in my opinion. Also, let's not forget about the part where after he got his hand sliced off, he quickly put Prime's own blade at his throat and with the classic bad guy monologue, Prime survived
I'm not too surprised about Megatron being weak in ROTF and DOTM. In ROTF, it almost seemed like he was new to fighting. As a kid, I didn't understand why but now, I do. Guy must have felt like he wasn't using his own body. In DOTM, well, can anyone actually fight at their peak when their injuries are still visible? If it's scars already then maybe but that kind of injury? Doubt it
This is my first video of watching your RUclips channel and content is awesome bc I’m a huge fan of TF and I grew up watching these movies since I was 3-4 and now I’m 16 so keep doing you💙🔥💯
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the video! ^_^
Yes, just like we said last time. 2007 Megatron was the best and was on some steroids just demolishing everything in his path.
