Bay has nothing to do with the voice casting for the video game.

& I'm damn glad that's true.

This just officially tells me that Hugo was put in solely for his name....not because he has a stronger voice, not because Welker's voice hasn't held up......just because of his name.

At least Activision knows to give the man the respect he deserves.....not to mention fans, too. Good thing, too, as I'll probably be spending more time playing the game than I will be watching the movie.

It could also mean that Bay liked Hugo more for the role than Welker and thought he was a better fit.

Cullen really needs a better wardrobe.

I agree, Welker is very respected in my book, but he is sounding older. Still, I don't think its nothing that talking into a can couldn't fix

Absolutely Weaving is in it purely for "star value", it's just a shame he couldn't have been given a token role and have Megs left to the man who made the part his own. The clip just reminds me of everything this film is missing and that nothing is sacred anymore.

As much as I bitched about Kaye's Megatron being better, I must admit, hearing Welker's Megs gave me chills. At least I'll like the games voice.
