[@ayushtiwari2959]

You know what? I think kaye's megatron vs corey's megatron vs welker's megatron come to a tie. They all added a different and unique touch on megatron. They all sounded differently and were great in their own way. There megatron's also differed in personalities somewhat. So we cant really say who's the best.

To be honest, Kaye’s Megatron voice comes across as… I don’t know if flamboyant is the right word for it, but it’s not that menacing, that’s for sure

[@thebatmanofneo-gotham5667]

In my opinion, Frank Welker voicing Megatron in Transformers: Prime is his best performance as the character by far. He retains most of what made the Decepticon leader from the G1 series so cool, while also sounding more menacing, calculating, and ruthless. In other words, he literally refined and polished his voice for the villain.

[@DeadmanInc336]

Yup. He also sounds more sinister the way he speaks softly with a threatening hiss and only raises his voice occasionally. I wonder if they would have gone with Frank Welker for Megatron in the Michael Bay films had he used this voice from the start.

[@DeathCS]

You're damn right. "And one shall fall, YOU OPTIMUS PRIME"

[@JPLOWMAN2]

I think it’s because he made Megatron sound older and more experienced than his G1 counterpart. He sounds like he’s really seen some sh*t over the years and doesn’t want to put up with upstart idiots like Starscream

[@Ironluke_2001]

Burton does a pretty good Megatron and TFA Megatron is definitely one of my favourites, but I honestly think he does a better job voicing Shockwave. (No-one can voice Shockwave better than him) Frank's voice though, not only is it the Megatron voice I grew up with, but everytime that guy spoke in TFP, he always had an effect on the atmosphere, he always felt like a foreboding presence and every time he spoke, whatever the mood was beforehand was suddenly extremely dark and menacing.

[@jc_va]

From what I understand, ever since G1, Frank's natural voice is pitched down in post production, which might be the same case here. It works pretty naturally here. Burton's just sounds like he's doing the same accent he does for Count Dooku if you listen to the inflection a bit. I think both work in their own right, and you really can't compare them. Animated Megs is slower, less aggressive, more cunning. Prime Megatron is more traditional, an authoritarian.

[@Delzord]

some really good points!

[@Monsterized301]

Actually, i will point out that Frank's voice in TFP is 100% authentic, no post production nonsense. Same with Peter Cullen.

[@Brobuscus101]

Welker’s performance in Prime will always be my favorite portrayal from him. Instead of the constant whisper screaming of the other Megatrons he’s played, he’s more sinister sounding and sounds a LOT more natural here. Though Corey Burton is the definitive Megatron for a lot of people, and for good reason. I personally side with Jason Marnocha, specifically from Combiner Wars and WFC: Siege, but I won’t deny Burton’s talent

[@bobo577]

As great as Welker is, I prefer Burton’s take. Welker’s great at the snarling monster clawing at his cage to get out. But Burton plays it like a monster who’s biding his time and seemingly unconcerned about his cage. That makes the moments where he does snap and let loose all the more terrifying, and creates suspense because you don’t know when those moments will happen.

[@motormouth2472]

I think they both work very well for their own types of Megatrons. Animated's Megatron is very chill, eerily sinister, and unnerving, and I personally believe Burton's voicing perfectly matches his character. Prime's Megatron is less scary, but still intimidating, and a very determined and serious warrior type. Welker's voicing definitely matches Prime's Megatron far better than Burton's could, and Burton's voicing matches Animated's Megatron far better than Welker's could. Both are very good actors for each of their Megatron's.

[@ghost-fs7th]

As much as I love Frank, TFA Megatron was so satisfying to listen to. He was so smooth and cold, like I could probably listen to him for hours. He lacked the aggression TFP Megatron has. While Frank also had his moments of sly cunning, he was very quick to jump to angry bouts of yelling. I feel like he spent a large amount of time growling and yelling, unlike TFA Megatron. I don't know, I like them both a lot in their own ways and I couldn't really choose a favorite. I think they both fit their roles perfectly, though. I definitely wouldn't want the voices switched around.

[@afzalhakimbinzairini956]

Now this is the toughest decisions because both actors did the fantastic job as the voice of Megatron. Both of them gave Megatron a great personality and threating voice. I love both of them to be honest. I can't choose because both of them have great voices. Especially Animated Megatron, he is more of a mysterious alien in the first season until the season 1 finale where he finally becomes a very shakesperean, freedom fighter, and maintains his position of power. He shows that he means business. Prime Megatron is the better version of his G1 version except much stronger, violent, powerful, more badass, and a force to be reckon. It's a shame I can't get my hands on Leader Class Animated Megatron and APC Toys Dark Master (Third Party Version of Transformers Prime Megatron) because both of those figures looks fantastic but also very expensive to buy it.

I like Frank's take, but there's something so menacing about Corey Burton's calculated take on Megatron.

[@MireMiraMe]

Dunno why but saying Frank’s take irks me since Frank is the original Megatron. But I personally think Frank is better simply because Megatron is supposed to be a fearless warlord who is able to send troops left and right constantly with no worries and if need be he will appear himself and annihilate whatever foe appears before him. TFP Megatron doesn’t have many fights during the show or many instances where he actively participates in missions and I love that cause it makes Megatron appearing to oversee a mission make that mission feel that more important. Animated Megatron while still a tank and badass gets beaten around so many times and he appears during every mission which while nice kinda diminishes how special his appearances are at least to me, though maybe it’s just because I’m a Prime fanboy.

[@justsomewritingfan2202]

Unpopular opinion here but *out of the 2* I prefer Courey Burtons performance. Frank Welker brings a lot of energy to the character, which was the reason why he got so iconic in the first place. This energy perfectly played off with his character interactions in the first Generation and I loved it whenever Megs was on screen. Whoever I think he does'nt really get to show his talent as much in Prime as he could, because of the shows more serialized approach. He works wonders in the first few episodes because his aggressive tone sets him up as a serious foe that our protagonists will struggle to overcome. Like a gun that can and will fire on all cylinders once it gets started. Where he starts to falter is in the long run, after his first appearance he started to loose that effect on me. When he was put at a disadvantage, this aggressive tone made him seem more uncontrolled than anything. A gun that fires on all cylinders needs to be able to aim. The more he appeared and did nothing the more the impression of power his voice once held started to waver. This is where Corey Burtons performance differs. While Frank Welker holds more power, Corey Burtons gives the impression of something that had in the long run a stronger effect on me, control. His voice did not give off as much power but had it under control, and could lash out with it when needed. This gun needed to load, but a gun that loads has time to aim. And a gun that aims, hits. Within Corey Burtons performance was feelable power that was held back, that only came to prominence whenever he needed to use it. It was that calmness before the storm that intruiged me. When he let out what he held he did so with success. When he boasted he meant it. Which made his performance when he gave up control all the more satisfying. His performance expressed defeat, the plans were derailed, there was no more way to victory. When Megatron was lying on the floor in defeat, and Corey reverted back to calmness there was no sense of control or power. He was defeated and his performance made you feel it. I know this was a long comment and thank you for reading this far. I need you to understand that arguing from a specific point is very hard and takes a lot of explaination because I needed to explain why I prefered one 10/10 actor over another 10/10 actor, and im sure a lot of my points got lost in my rambling.

Frank Welker's Megatron on the other hand, ever since he began the voice role since 1984, his different takes on different versions of Megatron sound so similar but sound different enough to tell em apart. He definitely peaked when he voiced PRIME Megatron. Prime Megatron had that COMMANDING and THREATENING voice, the kind of voice that forces u to obey it's every command or you'll die a quick and painful death.

It might just be me being so familiar with both Animated and Prime Megs, but Corey Burton has a nice smoothness to his Megs voice that definitely fits a more conniving, master manipulator Megatron who is more likely to get others to due what he wants but leave the glory for himself. While Frank Welker has a bit more of a Brutish, harsh feel to how he voices Megatron, fitting close with someone who might plan but is equally likely to just start punching and blasting at the first sign of a threat. Both are great so it's simply a question of who fits the version of the character in any continuity.

The best acting performances stem from the actors' chemistry and these two have it in spades. The live action movies always felt like they were missing something when Peter didn't have Frank around. They elevate each other and you can just hear the sparks from that recording booth when they get to play off each other in G1 and Prime. TFA Megatron is really darn good, I'll give you that.

For these animated series’s aside, I still feel for some reason that Hugo Weaving’s Megatron particularly more in the 07 movie still just gives me more chills to this day with how robotic and evil he sounds.

Despite Corey Burton’s Megatron being my first exposure to Megatron, I think I understand why I (and others) prefer Frank Walker’s portrayal. Welker’s Megatron is just so expressive; he’s so charismatic and very verbally expressive, which is why I think a lot of people like Frank’s portrayal of TFP’s Megatron. This is, of course, not discrediting Burton’s Megatron, nor calling his portrayal as “inferior.” TFA’s Megatron is a very unique take the Decepticon leader, as he is the only iteration, from my knowledge, that is kept in a helpless state for very prolonged period of time. This shows that this Megatron can quickly switch from being a cunning “Autobot” that can easily manipulate his enemies, to being a strategic tyrant that would personally get his hands dirty to ensure that he succeeds. And most importantly, TFA’s Megatron kills Starscream as soon as he gets the chance. This Megatron is simply… unique and beautiful.

TFP Megatron's voice with Megatron's design from ROTF would make a perfect combination

[@kaijudirector5336]

Frank, Corey, and David Kaye are the (un)holy trinity of Megs voices as far as I’m concerned.

[@Tumbercube]

The two best megatrons by far

[@Omega1-bq3wv]

In my opinion, Welker has the best voice, & Burton has the best design & vehicle mode

[@genesismultiverse4896]

Curry burton from him i get the deceptive vibes of a decepticon

[@camilorodriguez5602]

i like Welker more because he shows megatron as calculating but that he is a powerhouse aswell, but i really dig the cold, decieving and patient vibe that Burton gives, i think he would do an intersting shockwave

Corey Burton vs Frank Welker for Megatron I will go with Frank Welker.

[@aldinoguy1698]

Peter Cullen and Frank Welker are both legends in the books

[@mlggamer5296]

In my opinion, Frank welker made this megatron more menacing. I was revisiting it a few months ago and I now was like "dude way more menacing than the original. Dude has evolved!"

[@laisphinto6372]

The great thing about burton is he doesn't copy Welker instead he made his own spin on it and feels distinct enough.

Frank Welker may be the goat, but Corey Burton is my favorite Megatron...
