I completely agree. I do not know which I am looking more forward to at this point, the movie or the game.

It is going to be so much fun hearing the original Megatron's voice again.

Jesus, I thought the terrorists struck again. Guess I've never seen breaking news at seibertron.com before. Glad to see Welker will play the role as Megatron again. But I wonder if it will be his version or him imitating Weaving's Megatron.

So is this a happy medium for people?

Cool news indeed, but still dissappointed Welker will not be doing Megs in the movie.
BTW, my brother heard, on a comic art forum he frequents,
that Welker did not get the part for the movie because he didn't audition in person.
Anyone else heard this?

I don't understand. The video game saw a demand for Welker's voice as Megatron, why not the movie?

Wow, Hugo Weaving has some big shoes to fill. Especially considering that they awarded him the part because they claimed Welker didn't sound like Megatron anymore. He didn't seem to do a bad job there.

Thats cool, but tell Pete to shave!

Listen to the recording on the page...Welker does a perfect Megatron...his voice hasn't changed. Now I'm upset again!!! Damn...I was just starting to agree that maybe he wasn't right for Megs...

well, i can think of no other response besides AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if anybody have seen the second picture yet, but I think that is "Swindle".

is that swindle?

Hey you're right!

I've noticed that's how many voice actors are. The reason I think is that because they have plain voices they would try changing it even from a young age. Some get lucky and make a living out of doing it. I myself have around 7 different voices, all just from screwing around when I was younger. Granted one is just flipping on my hillbilly switch that is inbred in all Ohio born people.

I'm there like a fly on poo!

YETI!!! Where have you been man?!

Glad to hear this! At least the game will be more interesting.

that megatron soundbyte from that last interview welker had recorded, didnt really sound like megatron
but this voice was megatron without a doubt
well that sucks it wont be in the movie
too bad; i couldnt care less about the game

Well This made my day after losing in 3 auctions today for a Wii...

I wasn't sure about the game before. I'm definitely gonna have to get it as soon as it's out.

Sweet! I'll have to buy it.

This is the best post that I've read in a while. I seriously LOL'ed both times when I read what you wrote.

The "breaking news" feature is only used when there's something that the news staff thinks you need to read right this moment. I'm happy to see that it caught the attention of so many people.

that sells it... im getting a 360

Previously, on Transformers: Seibertron, I had no interest in this game. Then this happened.

Talk all the logic you want. The fangirl in me is going to be all over anything that has the original Megatron saying new stuff.

finally some respect to Mr frank Welker.

*scratches head*

I'm a little confused. People bitch and whine about the movie and state they're not going to see it for some trivial little reason.

But suddenly people are going to rush out and buy a game because Welker and Cullen are going to do the voices?

Never mind the fact their roles will be minor compared to the actual gameplay. I swear, people are damn confusing.

The closer to orignal G1, the better. It's all about the homage and nostalgia I suppose.

Anywho, that sound byte seemed a little off as someone already mentioned.

Yeah but there was so much jumping up and down "they don't look like Transformers!" yet throw Welker's voice into the game and suddenly no one cares what the bots look like?

sheesh. This game's a winner even if the gameplay sucks.

Horah! Frank finally has a chance ^_^

W00t and yay!

Hey I still hate how the movie Transformers look like, but I would love to hear Welker as Megatron together with Cullen again. Even if it's only a game with those horrid designs, it won't ruin my fun from making the most of it. I wounder how game play will be...

man. ill be honest and say im pretty disappointed in Welker being hired to do the voice of Megs. I just fear a repeat of G1 Galvatron

Leonard Nimoy did such the PERFECT galvatron voice..and then in the cartoon Welker gives him this high pitched, whiny, annoying voice. its like the movie never existed

i just hope he tries to follow what Weaving does and doesnt just go off on some insane tangent. that would REALLY ruin this game for me IMO


ya know, much respect to frank [hes an uber talented man] but i just hope he uses that vast amount of talent to follow whats being established

that was a little chilling hearing that voice after all these years.he's still got it though

Josh wrote:man. ill be honest and say im pretty disappointed in Welker being hired to do the voice of Megs. I just fear a repeat of G1 Galvatron

Why? He's doing the G1 Megatron as heard in the voiceclip. He said so in the interview. And his Megatron voice hasn't changed at all in 23 years. So much for Shia's "his voice is different now". Don't forget, Welker can pretty much do any voice. He did the voice of the Devil in the "Spawn" movie. That was downright sinister and evil if you ask me


BTW, is there someone on here who can record the voiceclip and offer it as a downloadable MP3?

Dear Activision:

I'm down like James Brown with this game. HOT TUB!!

Love
Down_Shift

I said as soon as this game was announced. If they have Cullen and Welker in the movie, those two will be in the game. As such, I ain't surprised. But I'm bloody ecstatic!

Send me a PM as a reminder and I'll do it when I get home.

oh my god... activision is really going out of their ways, above and beyond to absolutely satisfy the fans, especially alot of the stuff that we seem to have problems, with the exception of the desgins.

this is great news.

I could comment about "people" complaining it's superficial to hate the movie designs then acting like those of us willing to look past them for contents' sake are doing something wrong (not to mention assuming that everyone on the anti-side dislikes them for the same reasons). Instead, I'll just state the obvious - Frank Welker is a really good actor and even if the game turns out to be a steaming pile, chances are high his work will be stellar. I could say the same thing about some of the actors cast in the film.

Supposedly Welker recorded all of movie Meg's dialogue and that will be an option on the DVD .

Also, WTF did he play in Kingdom hearts?

Now we get to see whos a better megatron. And get to prove that Welker can still do it. Ive been saying since day one the best thing to come from this movie will be the toys and the game. Time to go pre-order.

If your were to add effects to the devil voice youd have Soundwave.

Actually, I thought he sounded more like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget. Who was also voiced by Welker
