Megatrons rated by the level of dumbass
[updated to include Siege]
Smartest to dumbest, say GO! (Note: Does not include IDW and Unicron Trilogy)
Transformers Animated
The least dumb Megatron of them all, a friggin mastermind who doesn’t need brute force to get what he wants, he only needs his smart mouth! ~
Just knows what to say at all times to manipulate the people around him, what an icon :D
And unlike most versions of the character, he doesn’t suffer from “Gay for Optimus” syndrome :3
Prime Wars Trilogy
To prove my point that he is smart, here is a video proof. 
Apart from that he’s a pretty tactical guy with lots of experience! And he also has a smart mouth, but he likes to use it to insult and annoy :D
Only reason I deemed him dumber than TFA Megs is that he doesn’t have a scheme in this show as he is not the villain. Also he does have Gay for Optimus-Syndrome.
Siege
Boy does not have Gay-for-Optimus syndrome, thats nice. For the most part of the season he doesn’t actually do anything dumb, it’s just every decision he makes ends badly for him. 
Inprisoning Magnus? Magnus spies on him and tells Oppy his plans
Setting up a fool-proof trap for the autobots? His decepticons fail really damn hard.
Killing Magnus? Releases the Alpha Trion protocols, making sure the autobots can get the AllSpark. 
Nothing happens in his favour, re-watching the show and only watching his scenes makes me sad x’D
It remains to be seen how his decision to release that virus will effect Cybertron...
Beast Machines
One damn angsty emo, he has no time to fuck around and do stupid shit, which makes him appear less dumb. Still a little dumb though, for using the sparks of former good guys for his goons and be surprised when they turn against him. Also he has fashion no sense
Beast Wars
Now we get to the dumber ones! And while BW Megatron is a damn genius criminal mastermind, one cannot forget the level of dumbass he had in season 1! I credit those moments of him just having not much experience as a leader in this kind of war, but still - the dumbass is still there, sadly u_u
G1
This Megatron is equal part genius and equal part dumbass. Do most of his plans fail? Yes. Are they fucking insane and creative? Also yes.
No true dumbass could come up with his variety of evil schemes, we all gotta appreciate that -v-
Transformers Prime
He has the biggest and strongest Gay for Optimus-Syndrome, and it makes him dumb all the time! His saving grace is the his huge level of intimidation, power and chemistry skills, or else you’d actually notice the fact that he sends his only medic to do fighting all the time and even threatened to keep him locked in a wall. Or making Airachnid his second-in-command. Or never bothering to look for Starscream, when he explicitely was under the impression that he was kidnapped by the autobots. 
And the dumbest thing - not killing Optimus Prime when the dude lost his memory! Come on Megatron, get your feels under control!
Robots in Disguise 2001
If he were nice he’d a himbo, but as he is he’s just a jock who has no idea what he’s doing. He’s on earth because he heard there would be some awesome source of power, but has no clue what exactly it is.
He tries really hard to be intimidating in front of the humans and gets flustered when he fails, awww. 
Smartest thing he did is stealing the Protoforms of the decepticons, that was a nice move :D ~ But apart from that he just vibes around hoping the plot gets moving soon
Beast Wars II
Megastorm can’t do math, and he can’t keep his act together. So dumb that Galvatron feels ashamed of him :(
But he gets a little bonus point for the times he managed to knock Galvatron out, and another bonus point for doing it in my favourite way - the good old Tekken-style throwing your family member into a volcano trick :D
Cyberverse
Did this guy EVER come up with his own plan? For anything? NO! No scheming, no insane plans, no tactics, NOTHING!
Nothing he ever did was his own idea. Not the plans to destroy earth, not the trick with faking the space-bridge’s destruction, wasn’t even his idea to use the transwarp teleporter to travel to other dimensions!
Use your processor, you dumb slut!
He’s also the perfect example of why Gay for Optimus-Syndrome is so horrible to have, as the other Megatron proves to be quiet effective without it.

Top Five Games?
Oh god, Idek how long this has been sitting, I’m so sorry! To be honest, listing my top five video game series would be easier but I’m gonna try narrowing it down to just the games anyway. In no particular order:
Dragon Age Origins: One of the best RPGs I’ve played where the role-playing aspect is actually meaningful, the lore intriguing, the characters interesting and the choices are impactful…shame the series loses much of that afterwards
Mass Effect 3: Was 2 probably better designed with actual bosses and the like? Yes. Was the ending bullshit? Yes. But do I love this better anyway? Also yes. ME3 really gave me an end-of-a-saga feel, the stakes felt high, it made me emotional in a way ME2 just didn’t. Plus I loved the blue color scheme better :P
Fallout New Vegas: If there’s ever a day where I stop praising FNV, assume I’m dead. It’s everything a Fallout game should be, with meaningful social commentary that has an overarching theme of letting go of the past, a dozen different ways to finish each quest and the ability to make your MC the smartest/dumbest/kindest/most ruthless etc. Whatever your heart desires
Persona 4: I seriously have a hard time picking between this and 5 but I guess nostalgia wins out? xDD I played the PS2 version of this game so many times, the game disc legit stopped working. The story-structure in Persona 4 is uniquely suited for a party-based RPG because you spend a lot of time learning about the characters even before they join the party. It really brings the characters to life
Skyrim: No, really. I have wasted too many hours on this game not to put it here, repetitive fetch quests be damned. It’s the first open-world RPG I ever played and if there’s one game I could erase my memory of so that I could play again from scratch, it’d be Skyrim.
Thanks for the ask!
