What did NETFLIX do to Predacon Megaton??? · 5:51am Aug 3rd, 2021
ROFLMAO!! Ah-ha-ha-ha! Wha-What?!..........What the hell did Netflix do to Beast Wars/Predacon Megaton?! 
Ok, I've finally got around to watching, Kingdom, the final installment of Netflix's Transformers: War for Cybertron trilogy. It was decent I supposed, its not too great nor too bad. Just ok. But I did like the art style and the animation was pretty decent too. The characters design and 3D models are well done. Especially, after learning they used scans of the actual transformer toy figures. Maybe a bit too much really. LoL! Overall its good to watch it once or twice and that's about it. Watching this show multiple times is highly unlikely. Well, at least for me.
However I can't help, but question the decisions that went into the story or the logic of how they handled some of the characters in this show including the chosen voice for each one. Some fit better than other, while some don't. Especially for the leader of the Predacons, Megaton. Who had the biggest change in terms of personality and voice. Unfortunately its not exactly good to say the least.
In all honesty they kinda ruined the character for me, which is huge shame because BW Megatron was my most favorite of the Predacons. I mean just look at him.
At this point I'm just going to have to chalk up this version of Beast War Megatron as bad fanfiction character.
The old Predacon leader that I know is not submissive and he is certainly not a subservient lackey to original G1 Megaton. If anything he is more than likely to double crossed him in some complex scheme. He trusted no one and he is more than likely and willing to sacrifice a fellow Predacon/Decepticon, if it meant gaining an upper hand if only slightly. This version of (BW) Megaton is basically like Waspinator, a bumbling sychophat.
Megatron is skillful at orchestrating vast schemes by manipulating others into doing them for him—an idle suggestion here, a conspicuously-planted object of interest there. He knows his enemies, and these include some minions, inside and out and exactly how to provoke them. He has no friends, only pawns, or occasionally, pawns that are too reliable to risk losing. Because of this attitude, this superiority complex, he despises working with the very troops he needs to carry out his plans. His hubris does not make him very popular, and so he must rely on power and fear to rule them. In fact, he prefers mindless drones.
Megatron is a gambler and can sometimes be a ham. (His manner of saying "Yesss..." is practically vaudevillian.) He has a twisted sense of humor and an overdeveloped sense of drama which rule everything he conceives, both long and short term. When he destroys you, he wants you to know that it was he who did this, and just how badly you were had. This is his greatest weakness. Like a Bond villain, he'll gladly boast to the hero at length about how smart and clever he was, giving his victim time to formulate a counterattack (he admits the Predacons sometimes gloat too much). He often sabotages himself by neglecting the quick and easy solutions for the bigger, meaner, and more complex.
And that voice..... that is not a voice befitting to an over ambitious mastermind villain as Predacon Megaton. No offense to the other voice actor. David Kaye will always be the voice of (BW) Megaton. He adds way more personality to the character.
Oh and (BW) Megaton has a Rubber Ducky. Which he is oddly and awfully fond of. it is one of his closest allies and associates. Often confers with it on unknown, but presumably important matters. And It is cute and yellow and chubby. 
That's all for now. HAVE A TERRIBLE DAY! MWA-HA-HA-HA!
I can only assume that BW Megatron doesn't want to prematurely kill Megatron and ruin his own rise to glory. I'll admit it's a bit of Fan Wank but it's the only explanation that makes sense.

Yeah, but than again this is Netflix we're talking here. Considering the bull fuckery they're been as of late. I'm getting this isn't the case with this version of (BW) Megatron.

True enough. And I'm getting the impression that this was made by the same people who made the Prime Wars Trilogy.

Good God, the Prime War Trilogy?!....What an utter garbage trilogy that was. That was a dumpster fire for sure. The entire story and everything else was completely convoluted and poorly written as all Tartarus.

Agreed, absolutely regret watching it.

Not only that, it felt more like an experiment or proof of concept for a team of indy animators and writers. That still had a lot to learn. Because the Prime War Trilogy is literally fanfiction to the very definition of the word.

Who is your least favorite character in The Prime Wars Trilogy?
5564427
Hot Rod. Which is a damn shame. Seriously they ruin him!

For me, it's a toss up between Mistress of Flame(a rather obnoxious name for a character unless it's merely her title. This is a name that wouldn't be out of place in Goblin Slayer. Though I'll admit that I like her design.) and Victorion(we quite literally know nothing about her or the bots that make up her body).

Victorion to me is just an fanfic OC. Because there is little to nothing on this Combiner or the bots that make up her body. As you say it.
