80's cartoon villians ...who is the greatest?

IhsantheCursed · 11-07-2011, 08:38 PM

Megatron. Cobra Commander. Skeletor. Sure we all know these icons of treachery itself. Do we all remember the villians who were a little less-known?
Villians like Gargamel, Dr. Claw, Miles Mayhem, Tex Hex, Hordak, and Tiamat. Surely these underdogs of evil cannot be counted out.

So who is it that has had the greatest impact on our childhood? Which one still burns in our mind like a slowly fading lighthouse...never quite going out of distance? Who was the most dangerous? Who was the absolute coolest?

If we answer all of these questions to ourselves, then we should be able to vote on who was the GREATEST 80's cartoon Villian of ALL! I ask everyone to choose one of the following:

Megatron: 9
Cobra Commander: 6
Skeletor: 2
Gargamel: 0
Dr. Claw: 2
Miles Mayhem: 1
Tex Hex: 0
Hordak: 0
Tiamat: 1
Dolza, from "Robotech": 0
MumRa: 0
Galvatron: 1
Serpentor: 1

Ive chosen Megatron. I was first introduced to evil with that name...like many. He , imo, not only represented wickedness incarnate, but was the absolute coolest. Didnt hurt that he was voiced by a legend either

Megatron. /thread

IhsantheCursed · 11-07-2011, 08:46 PM

Oh, and Imo, Skeletor would definatly be a close 2nd. With CC comeing in at third (Chris Lattas vocals are killer).

EDIT: TWO for Megs!

Monstarr was pretty cool .. but i always loved the Zentraedi from Robotech as being evil and wanting to destroy all micronians .. although they were the Robotech masters puppets .. but they will always be my favorite villains ..

D00MTR0N · 11-07-2011, 08:49 PM

I'm going to vote for Venture from D&D, but only because he breaks the poll.

trebleshot · 11-08-2011, 07:28 AM

Soundwave.

...fine. Megatron, then.

CLASSIFIED · 11-08-2011, 08:06 AM

I actually like Cobra Commander best.

I would have voted for Skelletor, but he almost flipped face in the He Man She Ra X Mas special, so he isn't truely evil.

Jason Abbadon · 11-08-2011, 08:40 AM

Cobra Commander- he's so badass that no one mentions hoe obviosly frwakin crazy his ideas are!
