"I am not really sure what's happening with the "Transformer" movie other than my talented friend Peter Cullen has been cast. Presently, I have not been offered any roles. They are doing a new series based on our old shows which neither Peter nor I were cast. I think Corey Burton is playing the new Megatron. He is a wonderful voice talent and a great guy, so it's nice to be replaced by folks you like at any rate."
Also notice that Welker mentions that Corey Burton will be playing the part of Megatron in a new Transformers series.
Keep in mind none of this has yet to be confirmed and it is only rumor at this time. The main reason being that Welker made these comments back on December 12, 2007 and on January 8, 2007 IESB reported that Welker was days away from signing on as Megatron.
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

You folks DO realize, that other than Peter Cullen, the rest of the voice actors will not be picked until sometime in 07.
This is a fact, BTW.

I heard about this, aparently we where all misled awhile back.
I could care less about Heros at the moment, I just want an official statement about movie Megs.

Guys remember, just because he's not voicing anyone in this one doesn't mean he won't be cast for a sequel. I half expected this. I just couldn't visualize G1 Megatron's voice on that Megatron. But, that wasn't the only major character Welker voiced. 
If there is a sequel, he could always be cast for Soundwave. That is a voice that can be applied to 2D and 3D formats.
