The Ugly Transformers 1 Megatron Design That Caused Outrage. When he first made his live action debut Megatron was undoubtedly the most intimidating character in TF1. His fiery red optics and razor sharp fangs added to his manacing flare. Making him a fan favorite in terms of his design. But before the movie dropped they weren't particularly sold on his new look. Before Paramount began their promotional campaign early leaks of Megatron's design hit the internet. Which featured a different face. Due to backlash from the fans the design saw a major overhaul. His redesigned head was further modified for the final film. The finalized design retains the same basic shape as the interim design, but is more streamlined, is more expressive, and has uneven teeth. However the original design can be seen in the last batch of promotional CGI renders released for the movie as well as the introduction cutscene and campaign ending cutscenes in Transformers: The Game.
And we called the previous design Megabum
Sounds like a name for a predacon figure
@@LIMITLESS2774more like a rattrap insult
It will never catch on. Not like Sharkface or Chomperface.
@@VLFBERHTwolf you realized you created two cons with those names
@@LIMITLESS2774 Rattrap from Beast Wars called Dinobot Chomperface. So yeah.
As a kid I used to have a blanket that had this design,I used to be so confused as to why he looked so different
BRO!! I HAD IT TOO!!
DUDE SAME
Bro same
I had a plastic plate with the same design…😂
There’s that one 2007 Megatron render that had this face and it was used for the front of the Studio Series 54 box but somebody photoshopped the ROTF face onto the render.
*Megatron:* “Uh… meow?”
*The fans:* *_“AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!”_*
*Megatron:* *_“AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!”_*
Perfect
😂😂😂
I can hear that in his voice.
Ok seriously? Why don’t this comment get more likes? 500 isn’t enough make it 30k
Where's the original from? I can hear it, but durn it, I can't remember it...
That other design looked like a xenomorph from Aliens. 😂
No way. Dinobot from beast wars from the front xD
@@TheWererapter92 he's got the same teeth as one but you can definitely see the Dinobot resemblance more 😂
@@TheWererapter92 You really think so? 🤔
@joslyncarter4813 yeah you ever seen that a jurassic park Velociraptor from the front? Same concept as Animal mode Dinobot
Elite from halo.
my pillow has the og design of megatron's head from the live action
take good care of this pillow it can be worth some good money in future
@@renamon303 no need to worry i have 2
same
How are you able to sleep
@@Kutomi1 preaty easily why u ask
Now it makes sense, I always wondered why he looked different all of a sudden in the video game cutscenes
I've always heard people trash on TF1 megatron's design, but it is by FAR my favorite design
Tfp>>>>>
@@randomPATTA-ICICLEI don't like Prime's artsyle with flat noseless faces.
It is by far the best. It is threatening, well balanced in proportion,sharp, jagged, and he's built athletic like LeBron James. The moment he put his hands together and created a rifle was just so darn cold.
It’s not that it’s bad, the problem is that it’s all grey meaning you can barely make out the details on screen.
Yeah I think it’s way better than any other design I’ve seen
The design they went ahead with in the first three films was perfect. Not only did he look otherworldly and alien, but he was also horrific with immediately recognisable facial expressions. The fact that this metallic monstrous abomination could have such tangible emotions was beautifully done. I liked Megatron from TLK too, but his unmasked face just didn’t capture that same majesty as TF1 Megatron.
I remember getting a Transformers 2008 calendar for Christmas when I was 14 and it had that original Megatron design for one of the months. It always confused me at the time until I found out about his design change in the DVD's behind-the-scenes footage.
I heard that Starscream’s head was also originally gonna be Megatron’s-
Yes.
Oh, that's why his head looks weird
The original design reminds me of a shark.
That actually makes sense in a way.
I remember seeing this on Lunchables back in the day.
Brooooo… I’m legit gettin’ nostalgic
They kept this look for a picture book I had as a kid and I wondered "Why does he look so stupid in this book?"
This was the design that was still in the Transformers annual for that
for some reason in a kids book based off of 2010 transformers Megatron had the earlier design in it, which freaked me out. It’s more unnerving and therefore cooler to me than the one they went with
Ah yes one of megatrons prominent features.....uneven teeth
I mean, gladiators tend to get kicked in the teeth no matter what planet they're from. I'm sure megatron earned them, lol.
No teeth are even
@greenlightning2539 ik I meant it in a sarcastic way since it was mentioned in the video. I wouldn't have noticed them had he not mentioned it 🤣
@@johncarlofernandez2698Ik ik 🤣
That man Megatron first look looked like he had no gums… nun but teeth and red optics.💀
One of those preliminary designs also made it to the Legends figure and as it happens the regular release of the Leader actually has it on the stock photos.
The original concept, he does look like an Xenomorph, from the Aliens franchise.
that's megatron becomes a true alien with alien faces👽💀
Megatron: "Why do I look like an xenomorph!?!?!"
Wait until Mike Litoris hears about this
He looked like jeepers creepers
That original was like Sauron's face LOL
I remember when Kneon from Clownfish TV got harassed by one of the producers for complaining about the design. It later turned out that said producer also hated the design, but was pressured into attacking the complainers. Since then, they made amends but I feel this incident really affected his opinion on the Bayformers films.
Dodged a Cybertronian blast there.
The old Megatron reminds me of a cross between Predator and a drawer full of knives
I still hate that they were embarrassed to actually try and make the designs look like the original characters in any way
I remember seeing that design in the film novelization for kids. There were a bunch of picture behind the cover, showing off various Decepticons and Autobots, and that exact image was used for Megatron.
It's the design that's still on the cover of Transformers: The Game for Xbox 360 and PS2, and is on the cover of the case for Transformers Decepticons DS
OMG seeing this design unlocked forbidden memories! I remember having a blanket and sheets that had this og design 😭
Megatron crying in corner
Fun fact, they actually use that design on Lunchables back in the day
Another fact is Starscream's head was originally meant for megatron
I remember noticing this difference in a few CGI renders on merch and since I had those more commonly than I watched the film, I internalized that version more until I began rewatching the movie online later due to more internet access
Brooooo that design was actually peak tho like damn
That first design looks minimalist af, why did they think that was even viable? Megatron needs to have a humanoid face.
So Megatron looked like the Green Goblin from Sam Raimi’s spider man.
Yeah I'll Be Having Nightmares With This One
First one looked badass
Fr
@@neojenshi4055Who do you think is bigger Megatron or Optimus?
That's scary af they should have kept it
I remember I had this comic or graphic novel (idk) that was basically the story of tf 1. And I remember seeing megatron with this design in the drawings and it was so weird to me. Also I remember the back cover having ANOTHER different design for megatron, this one with purple eyes lmao
I'm glad they went with the Megatron we have now. Bro looks like a alien lol
Literally never noticed the uneven teeth
Even as a 7 year old I remember seeing that original design in trading cards and packaging for figures and thinking something looked off
I can't blame them for Changing it💀
Bro looking like general grievous and jeepers creepers had a baby 💀
"No one is happier than me!"
Oooh, so THAT’S why his face looked a bit different.
I’ve seen the face in one of those transformers books
Megatron and Sonic both have one thing in common
They both had early ugly designs before their glow up
Before Movie Sonic Design.
megatron walked so sonic could run
I always wondered why he lookedime that in coloring books as a kid lmao
When I was little I used to have a plate with Megatron's original face
That face is nightmare fuel
Bro got that Minecraft movie trailer pink sheep treatment 💀
That pic is cursed asf I have nightmares from it💀☠️☠️
They've turned decepticons into a monsters 😅
That original face makes him look like Beast wars Dino Bot xD
The first reminds me of a xenomorph from Alien
The design was also a mcdonalds toy
That dusty TF Dark moon design is still my favorite
I remember that design making it on to some sponserd products like lunchables and stuff prior to the movies release.
Back then when Megatron was the original Sonic.
The initial design looks so unlike a lot of the other bots in the films. Its kinda cool but the updated head was definitely the better option for the movies
I had two school notebooks that used the early designs of both Megatron and Optimus Prime, I always thought why they looked so different from the movie, Optimus was still very similar to the final design but Megatron looked so creepy.
Don’t forget that Starscream’s head was gonna be his head
Pretty sure the early design made it into a picture book that I read as a kid.
This is used for the psp and nds version of transformers 2007 with the gen 1 Megatron voice actor
I still gave the TF1 book with Megatrons original design
the people who snagged the original design should have got in hot water
his old face is also on the Nintendo DS TF autobots/decepticons
I had a pillowcase with this Megatron on it
I just now realized that change, I've got the original design poster of Megatron on my cabinet in poster form.
I got a couple of birthday cups in good condition I kept from those kits they’d sell for kids birthday parties from when I was 6 or 7, and it’s got this design on it. Could never figure out why Megatron looked so different 💀
I could never see a face in that original design, so I’m glad they changed it.
All Hail MEGATRON!
Bro looks like helcurt
Not so "leaked", I have a magazine poster of Megatron with that design
I hope you're aware that those posters were most likely made and in storage before the the leak happened. It would cost them too much money to go back and re-do each bit of merch. Which is why they could only re-do the actual movie CGI model since the film was still in post production. Hence why I said the design could still be seen in certain promotional material.
@@RandomBlackGamer still, not leaked. That's awfully clickbaity, since it appeared on oficial promotionals, it wasn't a breach of secrecy.
I feel like all these designs are menacing af Megatron is just straight up terrifying to me either way 💀😭
Also I had a wall sticker of the og design as a kid
People talk about Megatron’s original design but not about Jazz’s original face design that was on the OG deluxe class figures as well as many other toy designs from 2007 like Robot Replicas and diecast metals, hasbro eventually change the sculpt to be more movie accurate when they made the human alliance line.
It’s funny that they changed Megatron’s face for the toys last minute but other characters like jazz and bumblebee did not get the same treatment until years later
There was one toy that did not change the face sculpt from the original Megatron design and that was the Burger King Megatron toy from 2007
Actually, before this head it was starscteam's head
Bro's original design looks like a shocked moray eel
The finalized design makes Megatron look like a king. The initial design makes him look like Bonecrusher's cousin.
Back when companies were small enough to give a ship about their target audience, and not spit on 'em at every opportunity.
I was so confused when I read some transformers books and looked on the toybox when I saw megabum, I was in first grade and still noticed the difference
The first scrap design you show was supposed to be his battle mask. There was another head leaked that was supposed to be his normal head. But it was all scrap and he just got one redesign head.
Yoooo I remember getting a birthday card as a kid with the older face design
I love TF1 Megatron design. Whenever I hear his name. That comes up to my mind
Ugly Megatron isn’t real he can’t hurt you
Images of that original design gave me nightmares
I find it interesting Megatron's head design from 07's concepts did kind of get some attempted use in TF: Animated with the Cybertronian Megatron head shape.
If anything, I think it would be interesting if this helmet shape did come back in TF Media, like maybe it's a gladiator helmet that Megatron had ripped off of the previous champion.
Looks like he's wearing a hood
Bro, the original should be a nextbot.
When I was small, I thought the original design was a transformation, just like Bumblebee and Prime's battle mask
I always watched that design on marketing and internet. That explain why It felt weird.
I actually have (or had idr) a poster for the 07 movie with the decepticon lineup on it, and Megs still had one of his old designs on it. The image at 32 seconds was actually from the character model they used. Tbh I was, and still kinda am, upset they didn't use one of the solid helmet models in 07. Looking at it though, you can almost tell they used that design as inspiration for galvatron in aoe
His best overall design is from TFK and it’s not even close
Why would a robot have sharp teeth tho, cybertronians arent carnivores!
