I wasn't horribly disappointed in the use of Hugo Weaving but I think they made a big mistake by doing that. Heck, they're not even really promoting Weaving's role in the movie so I don't understand the decision.
Considering that Megatron apparently doesn't even show up until the last 1/5 of the movie, I'm not really surprised.

1) First and foremost, Welker is a class act. He disagreed with the guy's opinion, but was very civil about it, and more than willing to have an open dialogue. Gotta love the guy.
2) Reading over Welker's discussion on creating Megatron's voice, I think back on the "against" argument that the voice was cliched and wouldn't fit today. But, thinking back on it... you could make a pretty strong case Welker made that cliche with his performance as Megatron.
3) With the limited amount of dialogue Megatron is supposed to have, it IS surprising they didn't bring Welker in to do it. On the other hand, we haven't heard the auditions, so who knows? It is also worth bearing in mind that Lorenzo di Bonaventura was against using any of the original VAs, so I wouldn't be shocked if, after lsing out with Cullen being in the movie, he pushed for Weaving over Welker and won.
4) Weaving, at face value, isn't a bad choice at all. The guy has range and can act pretty well. However, if they just signed him to come in and ape one of his more familiar performances, like Agent Smith or Elrond, I'd be disappointed.
5) Welker in the game is going to be awesome. And I'm willing to bet Welker ultimately gives us more in character dialogue than Weaving by a large margin.
