I'm not surprised by this in the slightest. Given how little impact Megatron really had in ANY of the movies.

Movie 1) Didn't show up until the very end. Venom had more screen time in Spiderman 3. Crappy design. Even crappier toy. Fold him in half and jam his head into his crotch. He's a jet. Whee.

Movie 2) Second fiddle to 'The Fallen'. Final 'battle' was barely a minute. Toy still crappy. Could have made him actually look cool and 'alien tank' like. Instead they stuck with 'the gay vampire' from movie 1.

Movie 3) Oh boy - now he's a truck. Turned up a the end to battle Prime - for 20 seconds. Didn't even get a leader class figure.


I'm a fan of Megatron from G1 days, and even I couldn't bring myself to be enthused about him as a villain after Bay got his filthy claws into the writing and design process.

TFA Megatron spanked movie Megatron in every conceivable way.

Doesnt surprise me in the least, Im still surprised that he even took the job in the first place. He didnt do a bad job but thats not really saying much since this Megatron is one of the wost ever made & he had very little screen time. And when he was on screen he was either bitching or getting his ass kicked. I dont even think Welker or Kaye couldve helped this version of Megatron. But what i want to know is was it bays fault or weavings fault that he did nothing but a 2 hour booth session? Did bay just send him the lines & said "read this" or did Weaving just not care and only wanted to get it out of the way to do other things. Either way that seems like a really shitty way to do something. Just more proof that these movies are a joke and need to be snuffed out of existence.

Nothing but truth from Megatron Wolf.

Personally, I don't want them to bring back Megatron for TF4. They've already killed him once, revived him once, and then killed him again. Reviving him again would be too much like the Unicron Trilogy Syndrome minus the Galvatron upgrade.

There are other villains they could use for this movie that they haven't used already. Thunderwing, Bludgeon, a non-Megs Galvatron, Overlord, Deathsaurus, Straxus, Jhiaxus, even the DJD could pull it off.

I wouldn't want Bay to touch the DJD. Thats something WAY too cool to get infected by his half-assed treatment. Actually all of it is... but the DJD, thats a sinister pack of blood thirsty EVIL cons... Bay would probably end up having humans kill them with slingshots.

This speaks volumes in how much care was put into the live action TF movies. Hugo is a great actor and I love his stuff, however Frank would have put alot more 'heart' into the role.

The movies are a mess anyway. I don't blame him for not wanting to come back.

[Noideaforaname]

This is, what, 3 voice actors that have expressed how un-interested in their own roles: Eric Idle, Orson Welles, and now Hugo Weaving. I think they all did a fantastic job even if they really didn't care about it.
Can't help but wonder how much better they'd be if they DID care, though...

Bring on Frank Welker! Or just don't bring Megatron back. AGAIN.

[Rodimus Prime]

Yeah, the way Megatron was treated in Bayverse, this isn't surprising, as a matter of fact it's fitting. If he had put any serious effort into it, it would have been a waste of his time and talent. I don't blame Weaving for phoning it in, whether it was his choice or not.

[Jaw Crusher]

Not broken-hearted over this, as I don't care for the way Megatron was portrayed in the Bay movies anyway.

I'm more disappointed that Weaving doesn't want to be the Red Skull again, as I was hoping for a real "Wrath of Khan"-type return for him. Oh well.
