This is an interview with voice actor David Kaye on his experience working on the 1990s cartoon, Beast Wars: Transformers. David Kaye plays Megatron on Beast Wars, and went on to reprise the role in Beast Machines, as well as Transformers Armada, Energon, and Cyberton, before being cast as Optimus Prime in Transformers Animated.
This interview was originally included as a bonus feature on a now out of print Beast Wars DVD set. I have uploaded it here for posterity.
Check out more of David's work here: www.imdb.com/name/nm0443286/
Special thanks to the folks over at www.rebootrevival.com/ for providing this footage!

About two. Gary Chalk was the first. He did Optimus Primal and Armada Optimus, but do you remember that episode of Beast Wars with Ravage and the message from the original Megatron? The original megatron was voiced by Gary Chalk in that episode as Frank Welker wasn’t available.

Frank Welker may have been the Original Megatron, but in my Eyes David Kaye will always be the Best Megatron (whether it's the Pompous Meglomaniac of Beast Wars, the Malevolent Cybertron Overlord in Beast Machines or the Dry Witted Aristocrat in the Unicron Trilogy). I do hope he returns to the Role someday

@powerspotentialities1288
@powerspotentialities1288 5 лет назад
David Kaye redefined Megatron making him more calculating and methodical. The blend of influences that inspired his performance were noticable, but well concealed (you can see it and yet not) in an original Arch-Villain and all around megalomaniac. Anytime You tell not one but 2 Maximals "New packaging, same product.........Losers!" Megatron was super eloquent and super intelligent, always one step ahead of everyone else. His entire campaign was based on his ability to see opportunities to obtain more power. It made him more than just evil, he was layered. Kaye said that was the best reflection of himself in Megatron, his layers, I think he hit it dead-center mass. But.............I was waiting the entire video to see him do more Megatron and he only did a little. All Power to Primary Weapon................

I've been watching all these interviews (and everything on this channel... My childhood all up in here. Beautiful) I like how they all mention his they filmed episodes together. From what I've watched from Dragonball Z voice actor interviews... That's something that rarely happens in voice acting overall. Maybe one or two, but the whole cast? That's awesome.
@BullSession
@BullSession 5 лет назад
Yea, the cast of DBZ do a different kind of recording called ADR, which basically means they're dubbing over something that was already there, so timing is very very important since it needs to fit into the footage that already exists. These shows on the other hand were pre-recorded, which means voice work is the first thing that happens, and the show is animated around that. It makes more sense in this situation to have everyone in the room together so they can play off one another in real time and have better chemistry.

Hey!!! Frank Walker is the best Megatron (didn't you see TF Prime), and David Kaye just as Brilliant, both actors are iconic Megatrons in there own right.

lmao that Robot Chicken sketch was fantastic. I think we can all agree that those two versions of Megatron are SO different... Each of their actors is perfect for those roles. I don't think David Kaye would have made a better TF Prime Megatron than Welker, but I don't think Frank Welker would have made better Beast Wars Megatron than Kaye. Two totally different characters.

Their Megatrons are very different characters. Frank plays very cold, harsh, militaristic Megatrons who are pragmatic to a fault besides the occasional speech. Kaye plays extremely charismatic Megatrons who inspire loyalty or pragmatic following through a singular belief in their objectives.
