A few of you have said Welker would be cool. I agree. I don't think he'd do the original megatron voice though...that would be up to the voice directors.

As for this incarnation, I think Welker's raspy Meg's may not be the right fit. Personally, I think David Kaye would provide a more menacing and evil voice that may fit this persona...yessssss.

Yeah, that's not offensive...

possible Hugo Weaving got it. imagine, megatron is really a robotic smith!!!!!

Ehh not good but its certainly not bad. Gives us a chance to see some change in regards to all this. Yeah the original voice actors would be nice and all but heck for all but some things just haveta to be let go.

Disappointing, but not unexpected. I fthe rumor about Hugo Weaving being in the line-up for Megatron ends up being true and he gets it, I'll still be happy.

I hope he dosent kaye sounds like a cool british butler hugo sounds like a gay british butler.

To me this was the one thing, the only thing, that could do any justice to this new Megatron design. If they don't cast someone we can associate with Megatron I believe they have pretty well demolished any connection this new Megatron has with what we know as Megatron.

thats true. i mean welker as megatron again is cool, but look at movietron. does he look like he would sound like welker?

Not at all. Welker's Megatron sounds like a sissy. The movie Megatron drips pure evil and menace. The voice actor chosen for him needs to reflect that.

Personally? I'd love to see Nimoy do it.

I think it's better that Frank probably didn't get the role and fter seeing the movie robot designs, I wish Peter didn't get the role either.

Maaaaaaaaaaajorly dissappointed that the godly Welker is not doing the Almighty Megatron, but comparing the designs to the original, it's kinda true, there's certain things with the G1 voice that just wouldn't settle in that design.
Kaye would be an excellent replacement, Weaving just doesn't have the same ring in his tone as Kaye does. And since we're randomly tossing names here how about one from the complete left side of this field: Vin Diesel. HA!! I can't believe I just put that, I'm going to be blasted to death now *runs and hides* curse you wild imagination!! *trips and falls down a cliff*

Hell, let Bay or Murphy do it.

Okay... what the eff... you hire cullen, but then don't put him up against the voice actor that played his rival in the tv show? Have fun with the fan uproar on this one. I know this is just a rumor as of now, and possibly outdated, but christ this does make me uneasy.

So far I have not liked most of what I've seen/heard and the only reason i'm even contemplating to go see this movie is for some nostalgia hearing prime again, but on the big screen, if Welker isn't gonna be there too, I probably won't see it (or at least I won't pay for a ticket)

I'm tired of seeing stuff that only makes me more saddened by this movie. First it started with Bay (nothing agaisnt him but all he's good for is car chases and action sequences with explosions), then the designs started to leak, then we saw starscream, were told he was gonna change but were actually lied to, saw megs, were told his head would at least change but again lied to, now this. Will we ever hear anything positive that a majority of fans will agree on?

(again I do not want g1 in 3d. I was a huge fan of beast wars and loved it since the first episode aired. Probably the best transformers show to date since g1. So please keep that in mind when and if you reply to my comment. However, the nostalgia factor here with cullen's voice, and for the most part a g1 based cast of fan favorites are the only things that got me excited for this movie. Everything else just seems too over the top and more alien insectoid robots than Transformers.)

Yeah, I agree with you.

The Voice Actor for the TF Movie Megatron is....

Why?

Because IT'S HIS CREATION!

That scares me as much as much as the design on a side note Cory Burton is a great guy I was trying to make a fan pic once and E-mailed Mr. Burton for participation and he was definitely down. and gave us some advice.

Since we're talking rumors, I once read once in wikipedia that Trish Stratus was doing Starscream. I don't believe this'll happen, and the fact that it's been taken down since then (and rather quickly at that) supports me on this. Reason why I don't believe it (besides the fact that it's been taken down) is kinda like FreakNasty said. While I don't know anything about when voices other than Prime will be picked, the fact we don't know about any others implies to me at least that they haven't been picked yet.

Well, Bay can kiss my ass!
Welker and Cullen were really my only two reasons for seeing this movie in a CINEMA. Now I'm just gonnabuy a pirate, because I don't think Bay should be payed for destroying something so many people loved.

I give up. Someone have a smiley where he's holding his head in his hands? I really need that one right now after reading most of the posts in here.

Well I was looking forward to hear Welker, just because of chills I'll get to hear him live under something surreal, but I hope the actor who gets the part will have a well fit voice, a deeper evil voice. If so, I'm sure in the future Welker can voice other neat parts.

As for looking for a pirate movie, I hold judgement until the day I hear news on the movie. I hope everyone who goes, shares their detail (non spoilers) opinion here.

Good. Hope Kaye gets the part, his Megatron was better anyway. Hopefully they keep Hugo Weaving away from this as far as possible.

Maybe Corey will pull his Shockwave voice out of the cobwebs. I always liked that one.
