Now I'm kicking myself for not asking him when I saw him at TF-Expo! Course, he'd probably be clueless (back in August), as I'm sure they wouldn't be calling him until late in production, right? Anyway, it's not like he's hard to reach or too busy for a big movie like this, so I really don't see why they wouldn't do it (he's experienced and talented, as it is).

Thats cool, but I woulda honestly prefered an oldschool G1 flat nose truck without flames with a different voice instead.
What about Stratosphere? Considering size of he's Alt-Mode, he supposed to be at least Devastator's size...PrymeStriker wrote:
That scale, tho. Looks like we're reaching near Demolisher's size, if not bigger. That would be a first for the Autobots in this franchise.
So, Bay doing something that everybody's been doing since Animated counts as "finally getting something right," but going the extra mile to get the original Optimus voice back after 20 years, which NO ONE at the time was doing and was made out to be one of the biggest deals of the first movie, does not count as "right"?MINDVVIPE wrote:Sabrblade wrote:What about getting Peter Cullen back to voice Optimus again after ~20 years?MINDVVIPE wrote:Looks wicked.

why?
based on the fact that the T-Rex, though it looks awesome, doesnt fit the aestetics of the bay-formers universe...
looks like Transmetal megatron to me

To be honest, I would love to hear that Brad Garrett rejected Bay's offer, just like Corey Burton did before. Any instance of Transformers Icons saying that "Bay sucks" is priceless. And after DotM ending, there is no reason to be nice. Reading about Hugo Weaving's experience was for me better fun than watching RotF or DotM. And this time someone finally should start to insult Bay's directly .Because to be honest, so far they are far to soft for him.Sabrblade wrote:I wonder how people would react to hearing them NOT getting Gregg Berger to voice Grimlock, but a celebrity actor instead. Like, imagine if Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone were cast as Grimlock. Or Brad Garrett (who also happened to voice G1 Trypticon).

Anyone with common sense knew Grimlock was going to be a T-Rex. It's iconic to his character. Just like Starscream is a Jet, Optimus is a truck, Ravage is a cat, Laserbeak is a bird, Ratchet is an ambulance, etc. NO ONE was surprised to see that Grimlock was a T-Rex in AoE, they just insist on taking every opportunity to shove their opinions down our throats. I don't know why they do it, it's the 4th movie in the series they should know what to expect by now. If you don't like them fine, quit trying to punish the rest of us for having a different opinion.
