Here's what Nelson, the admin of Bay's site, says:
I spoke to Mike today...
He's been super busy editing the movie and in the process shooting the ads that will accompany the release of Transformers. He's doing ads that involve GM and Pepsi.
The unreleased ad (Prime speaks) that was posted on youtube was a test that European were making with the ads. The clip where OP was "speaking," lets just say that it wasn't OP or Cullen speaking. It was something the European studios added on their own. In fact, it was a test shot.
As reported by Slate, Spielberg and Bay are not at odds. Where do they come up with this?
As reported by naysayers and haters, Bay never said "the cartoons were amatuer and our movie is spectacular" in Empire magazine. He was referring to the animation and complexity of the transformation of the cartoon robots themselves and not the cartoons as a whole.

I saw the regulars on... another board totally losing their shit over this earlier. I wasn't entirely sure why.
Anyway, I'm off to think about General Motors vehicles towing giant transforming bottles of Pepsi.

well the fact prime speaking was a test shot is a little comforting. As for it not being cullin, at least its offical.

I would really like to meet Mr. Bay and shake his hand for handling all the slings and arrows the way he does. I'm still pumped about this movie. Phak, time is moving slow.

oh come on did people actually think it was the end product? when you look at the difference between prime transforming in that and the official trailer its worlds apart. i always viewed it as a test shot and was glad someone released it for the sake of interest.

You know what? They should make Optimus Prime transform into the pepsi bottle. That would be cool as a promotion.
This is quite good news. I just hope it all ends well.
Mere months away now too.
Bay ain't the greatest, but there is really no need to attack him at every turn.
So he doesn't do exactly what you want. Since when has Hasrbro done that either?
Remember, Hasblo set the bar for screwing over tfans, not Bay.
He is just doing what he thinks is best in the end.

Hopefully the next TV spot or trailer that airs will have the real Prime speak.

well, if that wasn't cullen, that that was a pretty close impersonator in terms of timbre.

Sounded like Cullen to me. They did a good job whoever did it. I was fooled.

This is some of the best news to come from Bay! Even is that was Prime, I would still be looking forward to the movie (though, I really didn;t like that voice at all)! Can't wait for the June 28th screening at Botcon!

I think IF Speilberg and Bay were at odds, its probably is because Bay is too arrogant and all his choices about the move are horrible and Speilberg said "I told you so" I would be surprised if Bay has watched more than 3 eps ffrom the original series and absolutely thinks "the cartoons were amatuer". As to that Op speaks clip I bet it was real and they wanted to get an idea of how it would go over before the "official" release. Like the "re-designed" megatron because of fan dislike and mockery, it will change , just not much.

This post makes me was to cause self-inflicted pain with a blunt object.
Sounds like your forcing yourself to not believe the article, due to your need to hate Bay.

The haters are a funny lot. They can not see the good in anything. They can not accept the fact that Hasbro/Takara/Bay were not put on this Earth to cater only to them. That there are thousands if not millions of Transformer Fans all over the world that appreciate and enjoy the work done by others for them.
The haters are silly.

Well, thank goodness. The face still sucks but if Cullen didn't sound like the Prime we know, I would pretty much have zero excitement for this movie.
