"I've seen more of the film. The movie's insane. It's going to do for action what The Matrix did for action. ILM said, and this is the company that does like Star Wars and Superman. They do all the big ones, Pirates of The Caribbean, they said they'd never worked on anything like this. They'd never done graphics at this level. This is the most insane thing they've ever done. They said if they were to present their company to anybody, it would be that movie".
"Look, as long as you make sure Welker is in and you make sure that Cullen is Optimus. If anyone else is Optimus the movie is terrible. It has to be Cullen. Now Welker is older, much older than Cullen and his voice has changed. I’ve heard him in sessions. He'd be great as another robot but to play Megatron you need somebody powerful and Hugo Weaving is powerful. I think its great casting to but I think the fans are going to have an issue with it".

THIS fan is happy they gave Welker a job at all.

I do have a feeling this is going to hit fans with a similar impact to the Martix. It blew people away in the 80s, and it's primed (ugh, that wasn't intentional) to do it again.

And after looking at the full article, it appears it's the former.
I like what he said about his motivation for being in the movie.
"...the initial being in the movie was never a paycheck. None of us got paid above $70,000 dollars. We were all there to blow shit up."
Nice.

I never really cared about the robots' voices, but having Cullen as Prime is like a bonus really: something I never expected, but was grateful for when it happened.
And after seeing some of LeBeouf's (I really have to learn to start spelling his name right) other films, I must say he is quite the rising star, and I think he is perfect for the film, to the point where I honestly can't imagine anyone else playing the human lead in the movie.

He's a filthmouth for no apparent reason, other than he's just purely ignorant and lacks any tact.
You don't talk like he does in an interview. What the hell is his problem?

Did you even read the interview? He was quite polite to be honest.

To be honest, a Gobot with a monkey wrench could take down movie megs. Those armour plates do reveal a lot of important machinery!

Uh yeah, I did. Did you not catch the line Raymond T. had? They probably cleaned it up.
Every interview he's been in has had extensive use of the f-bomb.
I seriously doubt he kept it in check for these people either.

Thats pure speculation however, so you cant say he is like that with all interviews

He means that in all of the interviews we've been presented so far, he has. But what's the big deal?

Thank you for helping to clear that up.
I think he's terribly unprofessional, rude (you just don't use filthy language during an interview. It's uncalled for), and he's ungrateful.
He won an award for Even Stevens (I believe), and he was caught saying something rather distasteful before heading up to receive it, considering the show put him on the map.
He's just an all around prick from the way he presents himself.
I don't have to like him, and I don't. So that's that.

Dude with cap on ship: Here kitty!
Cat looks out from shadows at him.
You see something blurry descend behind him.
Guy with cap turns around and screams: AAAHHH!!
Starscream's metal lips pull back from teeth, he hisses.

Oh yeah, I remember that. Was that a pure fabrication, or is there some truth behind it?
Oh, and you're missing the 's' at the end of the word 'souviens' in your Quebec flag avatar.
