Best Megatron voice over actor?

[bamak93]

So Megatron's gone thru many different looks throughout all the different animated series.

and while Frank Welker's raspy voice for Megs was certainly unique, I really enjoyed David Kaye's more refined voice.

David Kaye

Yessssssss...

without a question
megatron went from a bumbler stoic comic relief villain to one of the biggest megalomaniacs in all of transformers universe. The only megatron to fully take over cybertron (if we count beast machines) and come on the portrayal david kaye has done was so on point.
Welker defined megatron, don't get me wrong, but Kaye redefined that definition.
listening to Burton, I am reminded how much he impressed me for the role of megatron. Unlike a cocky and ambitious megatron like Kaye, Burton makes megatron sound very cold, always planning, but so robotic unlike Kaye which showed megatron to have so many more definitions than being cold. And the way Kaye was cold then cocky and ambitious in the turn of a second is what truly amazed me

 

[Kaci-April!]

dose he really count though he's technically not the real megatron

Frank Welker. Gotta go with the classics.

Kaye and Burton have the most layered portrayals, I think.

 

[Jericho the Fallen Diablo]

Frank Welker - Classic Megatron
David Kaye - Super Delicious Megatron
Corey Burton - Brainiac Megatron 3.0
Hugo Weaving - Agent Smith Megatron

Sorry, but Welker and Kaye got them beat!

David Kaye without a doubt. He played Megatron in such a delightfully vicious way.

Clear as day, the best of the Megatron voices is Frank Welker. After all, he and Peter Cullen, a.k.a. Optimus Prime, really made the original TransFormers series into the cult classic we know, today. At least Cullen is returning as Prime for TF2 feature film, and even though Frank Welker is finally returning, it's as Soundwave, not as Megatron(in my opinion, Frank Welker is Megatron).

Since he basically became the TF equivalent of Satan (a way better TF Satan than Unicron ever could be), I'd give it to Kaye for his portrayal of BW/BMachs Megatron.

 

[raaaaaaaandy]

David Kaye, easy. Since Beast Wars was my first TF series, his voice defined Megatron for me.

I'll just go with David Kaye. Out of all the Megatron voices, I find his the most memorable.

I'll say Kaye is my favorite mainly for the Beast Wars/Machines shows and not all the junk that came after. Welker is a close second just because his voice for the character is so iconic and classic.

Burton's was . . . OK, but the material he was working with was unfortunately inferior.

The worst is none other than Hugo Weaving. Nothing distinct or memorable about his Megatron at all. Such a pointless use of Hugo Weaving as well.
