This is David Kaye. David Kaye is doing well, yeeesss...

That's because David is the most well-known voice of Megatron, second in favoritism only to Frank Welker, a role he has held for a long time. He is also very well-regarded for his roles as either strong Bishonen characters, big badasses, or confident Big Bads. Despite such recognition and how long he has performed his Megatron voice, he has an exceptional range that makes it difficult to point single out any particular role as being him.

A running joke among the fandom is that he is also the announcer for the "Male Enhancement" commercials... we're sure the Missus is very happy with him, Yeeesss!

Not to be confused with the character Tom Rooney played on This Is Wonderland, noooooo; also not to be confused with the other actor who did voices in Superbabies: Baby Genuises 2, and the less said about it, the better.

Notable roles by David Kaye (most from The Ocean Group):

Megatron in several iterations of the Transformers franchise, yeeesss...
- His most famous Megatron is also his first and best, the Beast Era one. Oh YES INDEED.
- Except for that one time he did Optimus Prime. And Grimlock. And Lugnut. And Cliffjumper. And Warpath.
- He is now Hardshell.
