    I've realized that throughout the movie trilogy, practically every character has gone through at least some model change. Optimus's 'abs', Bumblebee's slight body modification, Starscream's tattoos, Soundwave's Mercedes form, and not to mention the countless vehicle paint jobs! But of all these CG changes, Megatron went through the most. He had an entirely different robot form and vehicle form for each film! My question is: what do you think was the best Megatron model and why?

    I think that the '07 design was the absolute best. He was a total beast in that form. Plus he had the advantage of flight.

    I would say either the 07 movie model or tge DOTM model. I like the 07 for his monstrous design and creepy voice. I like the DOTM design because of his damaged and kinda gone insane personality also his cloak is cool.

    That's exactly why I don't really like that design. It felt like it was too much. How can he be both a heavy tank and a flight jet?! As cool as it seems, it's just... too much.

    I was going to put DOTM Megatron as an honorable mention but you already summed everything up for me. Thanks!

    DOTM - I love the chains and pretty much everything else about him.

    With the ROTF model, he's a flying tank. He obeys the laws of Troll Physics.

    ROTF was my favorite. Very disappointed that the toy didn't really measure up.

    I just loved the design of the robot. Not only do I love asymmetry (sometimes), but he had the cleanest design of the three.

    As far as alt modes go DOTM is probably best, but really he never did much meaningful with any of his alt modes. (well, maybe in 07)

    DOTM design. Wouldnt mind seeing it with the ROTF head though.

    ROTF is a close second though. I love the murderarm with the huge shoulderpad and the tread legs.
