jeaxus was a decepticon hitler... got to love him lol

Astrotrain.

Well, my favorite bad guy is, of course, Predaking, but he isn't really a villain rather a weapon of mass destruction. So, my favorite villain would be BW Megatron.

The difficulty in answering this forum is that generally speaking, only a few decepticons really get any character development. Unless you are a leader, your character just tends to follow the rank and file into battle, and occasionally give us a one line comment. That said, I will give you three wonderful characters for consideration:

1) Stalker from Last stand of the Wreckers. He had 3 of the wreckers' heaviest hitters at his mercy. He coud have just killed them, but found sick, villanous delight in torturing them.

2) Lio Kaiser from Transformers: Victory. What a bad @ss. He beat down everyone in his path for several episodes to include holding his own against Star Saber and Ginrai in a 2-on-1 handicap. He took out Road Caesar, Landcross, even Galaxy Shuttle. Most Con's only hold an advantage for part of an episode, sometime a 2 part episode. He was top bot for half a dozen episodes. Hell, it took a planet killing gun to finally stop him once and for all.

3) Overlord from Last Stand of the Wrekers. He killed a wrecker, put their leader on life support, ripped 1 in half, knocked out Kup, Perceptor, and that was just couple pages of book. He turned the last resort into a sadist playground, and why, to piss Megatron off (take that Starscream). He redefined villiany.

C'mon, he's not actually a D'con, he just works for 'em. He knows Cybertronian martial arts, he's a bounty hunter. And He's super cool! Both Alt. Mode and Robot mode.

And voiced by Lance Henriksen for an extra twelvety thundred points.

I vote Unicron.

yeah but he died.

For me it has to be BW Megatron.

So did most of the others people have named.

Come on, look at my name, it's gotta be BW Inferno. Crazy laugh, brutal, rocket launcher, flame thrower, and he enjoys being hurt! Crazy buggers are the best.

BW Megatron.

Charismatic, manipulative, powerful, and had probably some of the most epic speeches ever. This is the guy who would go to any limit just to win the war.

He is certainly my favorite villian of any series, yessss...

I dunno, Beast Era Megatron, Animated Megatron/Soundwave, Tf Prime Megatron/Starscream seem the most evil/villainous to me.

G1 MEGATRON!!!

im with you on that.

Bumping this thread from the dephts of hell to point out how much I have mixed feelings about Starscream death in the movieverse. Well, he kinda deserves it.

Still, Starscream remain my to favorite villain, both for toys and character.

Deszaras because he beats everybody up, especially leozack. Him and Leozack r like Megs and Screamer. Oh and Liokaiser and my second, overlord as my third because thats the first time anyone almost killed a leader in the g1 series. (Not countin the movie)

Torn between Shockwave and Unicron.

Well... First I'll have to pick my favorite from each series and then narrow it down one by one
G1 - Unicron
BW - Megatron
BM - Tankor/Rhinox
RID - Sky-byte
Armada - Sideways
Energon - Shockblast
Cybertron - Galvatron
TF1 - Barricade
Animated - Shockwave
ROTF - Megatron
Prime - Megatron
DOTM - Sentinel

now to narrow it down, I'll comapre two series and pick the best

G1 and BW... BW
BM and RID... BM
Armada and Energon... Armada
Cybertron and Tf1... Cybertron
Animated and ROTF... Animated
Prime and DOTM... DOTM
ROUND 2
BW and BM... BW
Armada and Cybertron... Armada
Animated and DOTM... DOTM
Round 3...
I'd have to say BW Megatron takes it, with Armada Sideways in second, and DOTM Sentinel in third

I'm gonna try my best to make the distinction between villain and Decepticon here (my fav 'con varies depending on series but is usually a toss up between Octane and Abominus) but favourite actual villain...

Cybertron Starscream is pretty awesome, mostly by virtue of being the only competent Decepticon in the whole series, at one point single handedly beating ALL the Autobots at once (pretty badass). He also actually had a plan, which pretty much everyone else in the Universe seemed to lack at the time.

I'm a fan of Scrash, the invisible villain from Operation: Combination. In fact I've renamed my deluxe class animated Megatron so that he is now Scrash in my collection (I didn't have a Skyquake to use and TA Megs needed something to do since he's a pretty lame Megatron)

but overall best villain has to be Beast Era Megatron. A bunch of people have said it and it's because it's true - he's just a brilliant villain by any standards, not even just Transformers. Seriously, the guy's Darth Vader standard of villainy.

Except with more humour, obviously. There's a scene from Beast Wars series 1 (I forget the episode) where he and Scorponok are just sitting on this platform in the Decepticon base having a chat about stuff - made me laugh so much! And then in the blink of an eye he's back to being a twisted megalomaniacal B*****d.

Love. Beast. Era. Megs.

I originally made the thread before I saw any Beast War cartoon. Defenitely one of the best TF series ever. Too bad Beast Machine is so weak in comparison (still way better than Armad first 30-40 episodes).

BW Megs is defenitely my second favorite vilain ever after G1 and Cybertron's Starscream.

Zarak from the JP Headmasters/Masterforce. Destroys cities and kills humans just to piss of the Autobots. That's just brutal.

Been rewatching Armada lately, and I've got a real soft spot for Starscream. Not because he's a particularly great villain in the series (though he does always pwn in that department), but because I feel bad for him as the victim of incessant cyber(tronian) bullying. He's supposed to be this scheming, treachorous megalomaniac, but all he does for the first 6 episodes is get needlessly insulted by Cyclonus, Demolishor and even Megatron and kick around feeling sorry for himself.

I also like Demolishor, mostly because he's the only Decepticon HasTak has ever dared to make who actually looks like a nazi stormtrooper.
