Has anyone done this on any boards for the next movie.

As an old school fan am still upset about Frank Welker not being Megatron. Its like if Lucas had someone else do the voice for Darth Vader.

Peter Cullen, the original voice of Optimus Prime and Frank Welker reprises his role of Megatron in the Transformers 2007 Action Game.

Why not the movies?

We are the ones that buy the tickets and toys and everything else.

Mr Bay did change the Megatrons face after we spoke up.

Frank Welker needs to come back to the fold.

 

Did you see how the fans of Jericho got the show back?

The sent peanuts to the studios and said "Nuts to them"

Maybe we have to do something like this to get them to listen

let me hear ya.

No thanks.

 

This Megatron isn't the same character Welker voiced in the 80s. He's a great actor, but he's wrong for the role in this case (I haven't liked the voice in the cut scenes from the game that I've seen) and I think Weaving did a fine job.

 

Plus, there's the continuity to consider. I don't want the voices changing mid-trilogy if they don't have to (except for Bumblebee's, but we can blame that on his voice unit still being under repair).

 

Welcome to the board, in any case. :wave

Sorry...I preferred Weaving for my Movie Megatron.

Welker auditioned and didn't get the part.

 

Weaving audtioned, got the part, and did a great job.

 

Being upset by that now would be the same as still being upset that Gore lost Florda.

This is even an issue? :tfwtf

New member. Probably hasn't realized that the collective fandom has pretty much grown over it, and itself.

 

Fans are not the main public for this movie. NEW people, unfamiliar with the franchise, are. Fans buy a lot of toys. But, it's barely 1 percent of total transformer sales across the globe. Market to the fans, or the other 99%? I think the choice is obvious, and that those who have been here as a part of the fandom for quite some time have grown to learn this. New peopel, like the Original Poster, don't, and still have illusions of importance.

 

I think it was a part of the DVD extras where they showed a clip of Movie Megatron with Welker's voice and wih Weaving's voice: Welker's megatron voice just did not fit.

Welcome to the boards. I mean no disrespect, I just love this comic so much I have to post it each time something like this comes up....

 

The rending of the garment made me lol

The entire last panel made me lol, especially the disclaimer at the bottom.

 

The only way for Welker to have sounded right as Megatron (using the original Megs voice and not one of his dozens of other voices) would have been to process it heavily, which they did anyway with Weaving's voice but I think Weaving was the best fit.

 

Y'know, I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but when they announced that Peter Cullen would be Prime I was actually a bit worried that it wouldn't sound as well-acted and instead just sound very fanboy-ish. Of course I was wrong, he voiced the part well and it wasn't just fanwank, but the fear crossed my mind.

I wasn't crazy about the idea either, but Cullen pulled it out.

 

I've listened to Welker's voice in the game, and while he wasn't being directed by Bay, his voice just sounded terrible nonetheless.
