    He's the hero Cybertron very clearly deserves.

    This is a really unpopular opinion but Siege megatron is my favorite megatron and now I’ll be ready for my death sentence

    I actually liked him; I thought he was one of the best parts of the show.

    He was almost perfect although I do think the battle damage looks better on the toy. The hole in one side looked a bit weird

    He makes for a more compelling character than most others in the show, but like everyone else we're not given enough about why he is the way he is and why he believes in what he does for me to get fully invested. Sure, we as fans have a ton of other continuities to pick from for filling in the gaps, but a show shouldn't have to rely on other media to fill in the gaps.
    I just wish he didn't speak so slowly.

    I like how he does the speeches, but he talks very slow. But that's a problem for the whole show.

    He was great! Especially the way they showed his slow descent into complete evil over the couple of days at the very end of the war that the show takes place in.....after he's spent 4 million years of brutal war not being pushed there already. Bit daft, that one.

    He was passable, I suppose. If they'd stuck to writing 101 and shown him being a complex character, rather than implying it with slow speeches about "tHiS wAr" every time he opened his luscious lips, we might have actually had a decently written character in the show.

    He really does have a very Overlordian set of lips doesn’t he?

    I think he’s a fine Megatron. He’s not as fun as Animated and Beast Wars Megs, and nowhere near as layered as MTMTE Megs, but he’s fine. I want to see him get hilariously frustrated by the incompetence of his subordinates more often.

    Nothing about transformers makes sense with a million year war timeframe in any of the previous stories either

    Mercurial in the inconsistent way.

    I liked him a lot. The way he spewed rhetoric was pretty funny to watch. Jason Marnocha deserves to be in the same company as Welker, Kaye and Burton.

    He really does! It gives Overlord's obsession with him a whole new dimension.

    This Megatron being constantly frustrated with his troops would be amazing. He speaks so slowly that by the time he's finished ranting at Starscream for one thing, Starscream's already made two more failed coup attempts.

    True! It just seemed particularly daft that they made a real effort (one of the few in the whole show), to give Megatron a noticeable slide in how evil he acts when Siege is apparently all taking place during the last day of the war.

    Jason Marnocha is a good voice for Megs though that I feel he probably isn't asked to a Welker impression like Tillman is told to impersonate Cullen for Optimus helps him a lot.

    This. Optimus Prime's VA sounds like he's struggling to even have a slight semblance to Cullen's voice. Darn sure Cullen would have some not kind words for the team behind the show either, given comments made about the Bee film's use of an impersonator prior to his reprisal for that film.

    Just finished watching siege and I really liked how he was talking about his version of piece but still being unhinged also liked the reference of him as a miner and a gladiator.

    Hints at something good, but the execution left a lot to be desired.
