As a huge diehard TFG1 fan , Chris Latta AKA Starscream,Cobra Commander one of the most recognisable voices ever to grace the wonderful world of animation(apart from Peter Cullen) in my opinion, is a great and irreplaceable talent , so I ask you this fellow Seibertronians ..... Who do you think is going to be cast as the "old Screamer" in the new movie .
I know That there is a possibility of Hugo Weaving voicing Megatron (unfortunately)(Bring back Frank Welker!!), but I feel they need to get as close as possible to the original voice portrayal for the part, but unfortunately I believe this is going to be a very hard thing to do and sadly as things tend to "change" for some unexpected reasons I think a lot of the original G1 interaction/humour will be lost between Megs and Screamer however hard they try to pull it off .(this is my own opinion)
I am however still looking forward to the movie and will not judge it fully until it has been released unlike a lot of people .
Can you think of any other voices that Chris Latta has performed in the past ,the only ones i can remember are obvious ones :

Starscream
Cobra Commander
Gung Ho
and a couple of voices in Visionaries.
I look forward to testing your memories to see what you can remember !!!lol and your thoughts on the new voice of StarScream .......

and remember " Metal is Metal , cross me whoever you are and I will rip out your Optics!!"

Well, Weaving has already been confirmed as playing Megatron, so there's really no "chance" to that. I think Welker could pull off a great Screamer, though.

I have to say, I would love to see Michael Dobson who played Starscream in the Unicron trilogy play Starscream. I loved his voice and have to admit, he is my favorite Starscream.

Possibly. My older brother thinks Steve Buchemy(sp?) would be a good choice.

I think Mark Hamill would have been good was well.

Ugh. No way.

If anyone, Frank Welker. he worked with the best (Latta), and has the voice talent.

I actually agree with that 100%.

I want Mark Hamill to play Scramer! Badly

damn....RIP....thats some sad ****, cobra commander and screamer were my childhood

I would prefer welker to do Starscream. I do not like Dobson very much.

Well, anybody who did Starscream once. I don't really care since the best choice is now a cadaver...

But i think i CAN do a good Starscream, different and unique, but good! Too bad i don't have a Microphone!

I think one of the singers from Twisted Sister could do Starscream..at times in the song the voice is 99% spot on. And he wasn't even trying. Or that guy who does SpongeBob. In the hotsauce episode he sounded just like Cobra Commander, so I'm sure he could do a Starscream voice.

I have the voice somewhat too, but it's not 'masculine' and I can't go that high-pitched.

But I don't think a Latta-type voice would fit that Starscream. He's too ugly.

Scott McNeil could do it

Scott can do ANYTHING!

Or perhaps Don Brown

this may seem nuts... if they could finish the crow
they can still use latta's voice.. it can be done
they can use Dolby / DTS

I think David Kaye should do Screamer, it seems like a good fit!
