If Peter Cullen can reprise Prime. What the heck with Frank Welker??? I recently heard an interview where he damn well still sounds bad ass as Megatron. Theres no love for us Decepticons...

I never cared in the beginning. Movie Meg's just doesn't look like it could have "Such heroic nonsense" or "Ah, Yeees." come out of it organicly. :/

No, not really. Most of us didn't think he was gonna get the job in the first place, so it's not really that shocking. We hoped and wished he would, but it just wasn't meant to be.

Hey, a Twinkie...

Not in the least, Since Hugo plays Megs in the movie and Frank plays Megs in the VG I am happy :grin:

At this point, getting upset about the little details like getting things right is silly. And not because it's too late, but because sooo much other damage has been done.

The current situation should satisfy fans of every possible stripe. Except you "boss-monkey" weirdoes.

As much as I love G1, I personally think Hugo Weaving is a better choice. Welker's voice would not fit the movie Megatron at all.

We're getting Welker in the game and Weaving for the movie. What's not to like about that? It's already about 24 different types of coolness

In case you're not kidding, he voiced Megatron in the original animated series.

As per the situation, I'm fine with it, though I do find it odd that the movie and game voices will differ. But, who cares? The fact that Welker's in the game rocks!

Didn't Mr. Welker play Nibbler on Futurama? I wouldn't mind a deeper version of that voice as Megs.

I'm a huge Welker fan, but I'm not at all disappointed that he's not Megatron. I might be 'upset' after the film, if Weaving is rubbish, because I do genuinely like G1 Megatron's voice (though not necessarily his character). That said, I'm no movie hater, I encourage change, and I'm not a G1 purist, so I'm nowhere near upset.

I was only ever going to see this film for the script and the voicework. Since I haven't seen the film yet, I can't judge, but I'll let you know on July 5th.
