Description Warning: If you don't like Transformers Animated, you should not be here.

If you are a Geewun, you DEFINITELY should not be here. Go disgrace Transformers somewhere else. Let real fans who are willing to give every iteration of TF a chance enjoy their giant shape shifting robots.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, I like TFA, and yes, I LIKE the cartoony style. Even the big chins. Am I the only one who thinks that it's nice to have a change every now and again?

As for the pic itself, here we have good old Megatron in Earth(Dual rotor copter for those who haven't seen it) and Cybertronian (Cybertronian Jet, second verse same as the first) modes .

Personally, I find this Megatron to be my favorite of them all so far. Why? Because TFA Megatron is a total badass. The guy can hold his own against at least three Autobots at once, wrap nearly everyone around his finger, and has a classy yet legitimately mencaing british accent.

But to me, the one thing that makes TFA Megatron unbelievably awesome-also perhaps the one thing that would make rabid fangirls hate his circuits- is that he's actually smart enough to kill Starscream (Or at least try to) when he has the chance. He has no tolerance for actual betrayal. Starscream had his chance,it didn't work, and Megatron is NOT gonna let him get away with it.

As for the pic itself, I tried to make it a cross between my style and TFA. What I really tried to do is make him look like the evil warlord he is. The Earthmode sketch is based on the upcoming Leaderclass toy, just so you know.

"Leave them, Blitzwing. The Allspark takes precedence over a few insignificant Autobots. Besides, there's not long for this world. Decepticons, transform and rise up!"

Edit: A little bonus.

I didn't make the video. I just think the song's awesome.

To be honest I like his cybertronian mode a little more then his earth mode.It's just that the cybertronian mode gives him more of a Emperor feel to it,especilly his helmet.But his earth mode is still impressive nontheless

Yeah, I can see that. There's a certain Imperialism behind TFA Megatron.

I believe "GEEWUN" must be spelled in all caps to invoke it's true meaning.

And yes Animated. Ratchet, Bulkhead and ESPECIALLY Sentinel Prime(Spooon!!!) are rocking those chins.
Optimus, Prowl and Starscream? Not so much.

I made the mistake of introducing myself to the material with "Home is where the Spark is". With no knowledge of Araon Archer, beginning was a little...unsettling.

"Thrill of the Hunt" fixed everything though, and I am now a regular viewer. But Megatron, learning from his mistakes? Starscream's immortality explained? INTERESTING human buddy character?!
I didn't know how to react to this at first, but seing as how these things, the way they were before, were flawed, I realized that they had changed for the better.

My only worry now is, with the seemingly endless homages to separate continuities(G1, Beast wars AND Armada?), something...untoward... might just slip through....

I kinda like the little Easter eggs.

And the changes sort of separate this show from the rest. What matters, though is that at the end of the day, it's still Transformers.

"Autobots wage their battles to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons!" XD

I'm glad that they decided to bring that back to.

and with a more sensible melody nontheless. Way better than the Unicron trilogy themes.

Except Armada. For some reason, that song escaped the virus that infected the rest of the show.

From what I've read, I think the entire Unicron Trilogy might have been way better if they had left Aaron Archer in charge of the series.

I gotta agree with you an that.

It seems that, whenever left to our own guns, the US handles the fiction better than Japan.

Remember the Beast Wars "Metals" comic?

Then it's probably a good idea not to, unless you've got a liberal sense of humor.

Rattrap's beast mode is essentially Pikachu.

You can find it on youtube. It's called "Transform and Roll out."

I think TFA Megatron is fabulous too. I like him more each time I see him. He's soooo unflappable, sure he's tad pissed off at losing 50 'solar cycles'but he bides his time and is in total control. He completely flattened Optimus - (not meaning anything offensive at laughing like that, it was just not expected, I'm used to the two of them being more evenly matched). His voice in TFA is divinely.

cool pic!

"Ah, Starscream. How fitting that you should be here as I take my revenge upon the one responsible for my fifty stellar cycles of helplessness and humiliation."

I consider that to be Megatron's defining moment within TFA. It just shows how much of a composed badass he really is.

"Does anyone else have a problem with my leadership.?"

Oh poor Screamer, my poor baby See what I mean, Megs is doesn't lose it at all does he. Superrrrb. We had the episode on tonight where Starscream tries several different ways to assassinate Megatron. LOL! Oh I love this show, it's so well written. I love the pre-movie G1 cartoon, but I am loving this more.


I'm definitely not having any problems with Megatron's leadership.


He looks great too, but I think he looked even more awesome in his Cybertronian form than his Earth one. What do you reckon?

BTW, here are the many deaths of Starscream. Proves both Starscream's persistence and Megatron's elegant badassery.

Also, Megs catching the bomb without even looking is just awesome.

The Cybertorn mode is pretty damn awesome, but you gotta love the all around G1-ish style of earth mode.

i wouldn't mind seeing his Cybertron mode at least once more, but for a significant amount of time, like for an episode or so.

A-men bruddah! VIVA-LA Change! I like the big chins, I like Swindle's huge eyes, I like bulkhead and Starscreams voice actors, AN I LOVE DAVID KAYE'S CHARACTERS (though I doubt anyone doesn't).

I think it's humorously ironic that David Kay has been both Optimus Prime and Megatron. It's like he's his own worst enemy. XD

Lol yes. He has been two Megatrons (three or four if you want to be technical) a Galvatron (or three) an Optimus AND a Grimlock, giving him AWESOME status. Oh and I like your Megatrons, I'm still trying to incorporate the Animated character designs into my style.

I really tried to mix the TFA style with my own. I think if you are gonna draw fan art, you should do it in your own style, for that touch of uniqueness.

I like Barricade. ItΒ΄s a special kind of badass Like Terminator 2 - T1000 beeing a Cop AND a bad-guy.
