TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on Beast Wars MEGATRON 

Blackaracnia: Why are you always talking to yourself? Megatron: I simply enjoy intelligent conversations. Ha, such a good line.

Could've been ten minutes of Megatron saying "yessss" and I would be ok with it

I find it funny how David Kaye is the only voice actor (as far as I know) to voice both Megatron and Optimus Prime.

So he basically just named himself “Beelzebub”? That’s a power move.

Just like G1ers got Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, I grew up with Gary Chalke and David Kaye as Optimus and Megatron.

Rubber duck you're the one rubber ducky you're the one rubber ducky yessss........

This Megatron does live up to his original's namesake, YESSSSS!!

A beast wars megatron episode? Yeeeeeeeees....

You know, a bit of an extra info, while his werewolf-like mode was called Noble, the dragon mode of Megatron in Beast Machines is called Savage. Definitely a play on the mythic "noble savage" philosophy by authors such as John Dryden and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

I always wished Megatron had some kind of add-on to his name to better distinguish him from G1 Megatron, like "Megatron the Second," or "Megatron Rex," or something. Similar to Optimus Primal.

Between his cool beast modes, his suave, sophisticated vocabulary, his backstory across other media, and the wonderful voice of David Kaye, BW Megatron reigns as my favorite TF villain of all of them.

I met David Kaye at OTFCC 2003. I was at the hotel bar having a drink by myself when he walked up and proceeded to put the tip of his pool cue up to one of the tvs, as though he was trying to stick the tip of it up Opra's nose. He then asked me, "Isn't Oprah filmed here? We should go see that." I said, "Yeah but Jerry Springer is filmed here too. Wouldn't you rather go see that?" I think you can all guess what his answer was. LOL

"Sooner or later his time will come again" Transformers War for Cybertron: Kingdom Megatron in the year 2021 is here! YESSSS.

Some Megatrons might be stronger, some might be faster, none will be more cunning. My first thought when you say Megatron will always be Transmetal Megatron.

For Beast Wars Megatron? The answer will always be a resounding "yesss..."

Love that you brought up David Kaye's Christmas messages. A well-executed Basics indeed; yessssss.

David Kaye was the best Megatron Voice actor ever.

My favorite has to be when Megatron lost to the maximals by an energon powered bean fart. "This is certainly the most humiliating defeat in my entire career. YEEEESSS!

I just got my hands on a near-mint Beast Wars Megatron a few weeks ago at an absolute steal, and it's amazing. As a kid of the '90s who grew up loving Beast Wars, it was legitimately an emotional experience holding the thing in my hands for the first time. I don't think I've ever gotten quite the same thrill out of a toy in all my life, and I don't think I ever will again. It's truly a thing of beauty, as is the character himself. Yes...

What I would like more than anything is a proper Beast Wars game based on the first season, but like War for Cybertron, not the original PS1/PC game. Oh and the original voice actors too. Yeeeeessss

Beast Wars Megatron is by far the best incarnation in the Transformers series and out of all his forms during the series his Transmetal form my favourite. Yesss!!!!

Without re-using the whole "Yeeeeeeeesssssssssss" thing. It's awesome to see an episode focused on Megatron from Beast Wars, a character really worth dissecting and looking at in more detail.

Beast Wars Megatron has been my favorite villain out of all versions of Megatrons. He is cunning,shrewd,clever,devious,a real ham,entertaining in his own way,and someone you don't ever underestimate.

This villain shocked me as a kid, making me realize that the bad guy can win sometimes. Well, that seemed the case at least on the end of season 2. In a way it's such a shame they undid all of it at the start of season 3.

I've always loved this Megatron. Both his Crocodile and Rex forms are amazing. I had both of his Rex forms and I loved them.

Top 10 things that make beast wars Megatron a great character Number 1: YYEESSS Number 2-10: refer back to number 1

Excellent, yesss! Beast Wars is definitely one of my all time favourite TF series and Megatron always delivers a smile to me when he's on screen.

David Kaye also voiced Megatron in two of JobbytheHong's BW Megatron reviews. He voiced him in the MP review. The second one would be for a third-party Transmetal 1 figure where he also left Jobby and his viewers a message. That was a pretty awesome thing for him to do. He also apparently wore one of Jobby's shirts for a livestream/video.

Beast Wars Megatron needs a NEW TOY IN THE GENERATIONS TOY LINE.....yeesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!! :D

When Dreamwave Productions was still in operation, their "More Than Meets The Eye" series featured a rundown of every G1 character. The prologue showed a mysterious bot accessing Vector Sigma for all the information, and by series end that bot was revealed to be Beast Wars Megatron, presumably preparing himself for the golden disc theft and subsequent Beast Wars. Too bad Dreamwave went under before they could tackle really the Beast Wars.

It was more the fact he was much more brutal than G1 Megatron. He murdered his own team if it meant victory. And his plans were beyond anything you could preempt. He was generally terrific and terrifying.

Three cheers to Beast Megatron! The only Purple Dinosaur we all learned the ABC's to Conquer!!!

This was a particularly fun one, pal. And I especially appreciated the info on lesser-known stories I had missed. I hope you're having a good time making these vids, because I am DEFINITELY enjoying watching them!! Thanks very much for all the work and time you put into these!!

You know, the T-rex is like a the gun of the dinosaurs, and Megatron has nearly the same transformation as his G1 counterpart.

We must all spam YESSSSSSSS…in the comments

Very YEEEEESSSSS....

Always loved Grapeface. It was hilarious as you ended the Beast Wars part, I said outloud in my office: "And that's the end of the story". You immediately said "his story continued...". I let out a whelp. Never was a fan of BM. Thanks for the great work!

Mmmmmmmmm~ Yesssssssss~

Megatron was the precursor to knockout's voice. YESSSSSSSSS if you agree

You forgot his reappearence in robot chicken adult swim

I really loved dinosaurs when i was a kid and when i watched this show megatron instantly became my favourite.

This is the education I've been missing. Things are cleared up. It was the story I loved. I had only seen the g1 briefly, and early. It wasn't until I heard Ravage transform that something clicked and I started to remember g1. The realisation this far into the show was a MIND BLOW! ... I then proceeded to go in the internet to learn more... At the library, because that's where the internet was at the time for me. Now I'm going to watch the one about the Quintessons and learn their deal. Thank you.

What's this? A beast wars megatron? YESSSSSSSSSS

Beast Wars Predacon Megatron: Powerful, maniacal, brilliant, comedic, multidimensional character. Transformers Kingdom Predacon Megatron: A fucking SIMP for G1 Megatron

I love BEAST WARS MEGATRON in all forms! YYYYEEEESSSS!

Love the video, I always liked the Beast Wars/Beast Machines series. I did not know about the annual messages from his actor, think I will have to look around and find some of those here on RU-vid. Yeeesss...

TO explain Beast Machines I like to think it derives from Megatron's ego. We'v seen he's full of himself and unlike G1 Megatron rarely puts any kind of faith or loyalty to his troops, always seeing them as simply expendable pawns for his own goals, I like to think whenever he talked about the Predacons it was all just propaganda, seeing himself as the only future for the Predacons, ut as he got more and more power he became more self absorbed, to the point that when he returned to Cybertron earlier then Primal's team, however much time had passed was enough time for Megatron to come to the conclusion that technological purity was the only way forward, a Cybertron devoid of individuality, of course with him being the exception, cause let's face it, who better to guide this cold Cybertron then Megatron.

Now that I know that transformers legends exists I want an English translation of it now it’s so adorable and the concept is so wacky and amazing at the same time

I came here for more Gobots :(

Megatronus: *exists* Evil tyrant bots: Oh that's a cool name

Can't wait to see him and the rest of the Predacons and Maximals in Transformers WFC Kingdom.

I love BW Megatron, a bit more that his ancestor, G1 Megatron, he's just more evil and heck even has more charisma to him!

I like Beast Wars Megatron! Good for the spark, I always say! Yesss!

I always say that I want a line solely based around Beast Wars so we can get consistent toy updates for the characters, but to be honest I just want new BW Megatrons. I just want a whole line made of wave after wave of BW Megatron toys. Yesss

I love Beast Wars Megatron. I started watching reruns of the old gen 1, and I've seen many different series since then, Beast Wars Megatron still resonates for me gamma I don't think I'm ever going to stop loving him.

I grew up on gold plated T-Rex Megatron, it was a great time to be a kid.

IMO the best, most appropriate Megatron was the Beast Wars version. It always found it a stretch for such a feared conqueror as Megatron to suffer so many defeats, failures and miscalculations upon arriving on Earth- until the BW Megs revealed very human-like mannerisms and tendencies. Maybe it had to do with a more organic disguise form, but that imperfect Megatron made every mishap and misfortune more believable (and endearing to me). In fact, it was the human-like personalities- their offbeat characteristics and quirkiness-of the stars of the series that placed them among the most colorful & memorable TF’s ever;Inferno with his,”Yes, my queen!”, Quickstrike’s gunslinger slang, Silverbolt’s Arthurian chivalry, Dinobot’s internal conflict, etc.

Yyyeeeessss, yeeesss, yeeeesss

“Yeeeeeees, I may have PTSD, but that is a f**king Maximal!”

I would love to utilize David Kaye and Frank Welker to do a Megatron crossover series.

If that Beast Wars movie does get made, I really hope Megatron is voiced by David Kaye again with all the same personality and quirks.

1:28 Is the actual scene where he says “my namesake”

Damn David Kay just has that voice that SPEAKs modern Megatron other than Frank Welker

Loved this series and collected almost all the Beast Wars toys as a kid, wished I had kept them.

Awesome video......YES!!!! Best character from the series.......OH YES!!!! Best Megatron...........DEFINITELY YESSSSSSSS!!!!

I'd live to see a throw down between Grimlock and This version of Megatron

I had no idea that the beast wars went this deep damn this is awesome

David kaye needs to be recasted as megatron for the kingdom, ya know, the beast one

Man, nice. Didn’t know David did a holiday message annually since then. I truly believe the BW cast really DID love their time on the show and their characters. I know Scott McNeil does....

*YES*

Finally the best Megatron YESSSSSSSSSS!!!

I know its low hanging fruit, basically ground level, but new basics video? Yeeeesssssssssss

One word: *YEEEEEES*

really hoping they make a masterpiece figure of BW megatron. great episode again Chris.

Everything about him is POWER, YES.

Bw megatron will always be my number 1 megatron he just has so much personality, charisma and that awesome voice, the other megatrons from other series just feel like they're evil for the sake of being evil.

yeesss, I've been waiting for this.

You know if the creators of beast wars managed to get the license to the series what would megatron's plans be this time? would he still go for what he almost achieved in beast machines will it be revenge on primal or the maximals for ruining his plans or will there be a new plan that he came up with . I'm kinda curious how the series will go after beast machine and hopefully the cast got a more better looking design than they did on beast machines if the creators would ever get the chance on making a new beast wars/beast machines series.

All of these transformers basics are the best!!!!! Thanks for your time

Beast wars megatron best character trait is YEEEEESSSSSS

Absolutely, and unequivocally, YESSSSSSSS!

I'd love a remaster of the series with modern animation but a similar plot

I loved beast wars as a kid. I remember always wanting cheetor but never being able to find him in any stores lol

I know that Beast Wars was basically building up to the reveal that the conflict between the Maximals and Predacons was what inspired the Covenant of Primus, but I personally like to think that the later addition of Megatronus/The Fallen to the franchise means that he could’ve probably named himself after either him or G1 Megatron.

I just LOOOVE Beast wars Megatron!!!! One of my favorite villians of all time!!! I have always been an Optimus Prime Fan, but in Beast wars I never really liked Primal that much, but on the other hand MEGATRON... Was awsome!!! When I was a teenager in the 90´s I wanted him and the Predacons to win, instead of the Maximals.

A video on beast wars Megatron awesome in the words of Megatron" yes yes !!!!!!"

EXCELLENT YYYESSSSS!! Great stuff as always!

So love your channel! So I have been a fan from G1 and have found myself collecting the new Power of the Primes toys. Love to see you cover the Prime Wars Trilogy.

Take a shot every time BW Megatron says "Yesss"; two shots when he says "No". Your liver will not forgive you. edit: Someone actually did a count on Megatron's catchphrases; he said "Yesss" 166 times and "No" 54 times.

YEEEESSSS

I absolutely adored the Uprising portrayal of Megatron. When you stop to think about it, even though his motives weren't altruistic, the beast upgrade he funded really turned the tide of the uprising.

Yeeeeessssss posted this video on my birthday, and it's my favourite iteration of Megatron.

7:25 Okay This is actually sounds amazing Only if i could read Japanese.

Nooooooooooo I only typed that to be different from everyone else

Finding the BeastWars comic books are a quest in of itself! Highly sought after!

love it. Thank you for the video!

I only just realized that the golden disk is the record from one of the Voyager’s

**OH YES INDEED.** MORE MCFEELY!!!!

Waspinator: Waspinator blow up to much. Megatron: YESSSSSSS!!!!

kay's megatron will rise again, yeeeess.....
