I don't think people here will know about Transformers, but I thought Megatron was the lifeblood of the G1 Transformers cartoon. When he got turned into Galvatron, the show started to die. Galvatron was too maniacal. Megatron was a better leader; he was coherent, authoritative, and scary. He was the perfect foil for Optimus Prime, cruel, unrelenting, uncompromising evil. Megatron would not shake Prime's hand as Galvatron did at the end of "The Return of Optimus Prime."
