We do? :???:

The way I see it, Weaving would cost more than Welker. Got any links to show how much Welker gets per job?

It was said when Welker first mentioned. I don't have the specifics myself, though. I've read it all over though.

Hes got a point. Maybe you should hope he gets sick and cant record because he loses his voice or something. Not outright die.
And i would think because Welker does alot of sound effects that he would be more to cast. Hugo is an actor not a voice actor. Hes not getting as much money as he would get if he were in a human role. So the hole theroy about Welker coasting more might be relovent. And remember there still is Jazz, Starscream, Baricade, Brawl, Bonecrusher, Frenzy, BLackout, Ratchet, and Bumblebee (im sure cullen will voice Ironhide). And seeing as how Starscreams and Jazzs G1 VOs are no longer with us i think Welker should be able to do there voices. And Barricade is a "new" TF so he has no known voice. Welker could give life to a new TF. If they really wanted to all they needed was Welker, Bell, and Cullen and they could've voiced all the TFs. But they dont care what we think. All they see is $$$$. We'll just have to wait and see. And posibly pray to what ever gods you pray to that this movie wont completly suck ass. And wont stray that much from the TF story lines and bots that we all know and love.

I saw the NBE abbreviation elsewhere on the Sector 7 website, or was it NBLF? Either way, I guessed that it meant "Non Biological Entity (s)" or Non Biological Life Forms. . .

While Im very sad that Frank aint going to be Megatron, Im always happy to see an Aussie do well OS. The only good things out of this is that the Aussie critics will be nicer about the film and the OFLC will be kinder in the rating. Ive noticed that when an Aussie is in a OS film the rating is not as high as it would be if they weren't. crazy theory but true.

It could be way worse...they could have cast Keanu Reeves!! Then Megatron would have been saying "Brah" at the end of every sentence.

Too bad... such a high profile, talented actor for so small a role.

I stand by what I said earlier: Welker fits this monster Megatron better than Weaving. However, I don't feel particularly strongly towards either actor.

Night Flare has spent the night pissing off Transformer fans lets see could his intials be DM or MB. j/k No really the news has dropped but Now that I see that ominous message I'm not its as evident as people believe until I see some official Anouncement I'll entertain the thought Dreamsworks might be messing with the Internet nerds yeah I know I'm one of em. Casting Keanu Reeves for Megatron (Fires non existant arm cannon blows up city block gives total stoner look.........WOAH)

If this is indeed true, then I think that it is the best choice since Hugo has that sinister voice (like in The Matrix). While it is a little upsetting to know that Frank is not Megatron, I can see a need for a more evil voice with such an evil looking incarnation. So, why not? It is better than using David Kaye.

It may be morning now, but what he said was rude and uncalled for. I hope this ass gets a good banning for his lack of etiquette.
Also, I'd love to see a Megatron with a British accent.

lol. Despite popular belief, not all of us speak like that.
I happen to speak a very nice variation on the Queen's english :P

English would be best. But any of the other three would make me giggle like a school girl

Poor Hugo Weaving.

I feel sorry for him, he's going to be very ashamed of doing this a year or two after it's release, like when Leonard Nimoy provided the voice of Galvatron in the original movie, avoids talking about the role, and rightly so...
