OK so they threw us fanboys a bone with giving Mr. Cullen the part of Optimus. But now does everyone think they will do the right thing and Mr. Welker will get Megatron? My personal opinion is that they will not. The executive types won't let that happen. Because I'm sure they hate it that Cullen got Prime becuse of us fanboys. Becaue I'm sure they had some big Hollywood hot shot they wanted for the part. I know they won't stand for that to happen for the second biggest character in the franchise. So that they can say hey fanboys yall got what yall wanted and now we did to. I'm sure they have some big actor just begging them for it. So they can have thier name first on the credits. For me there is, was, and will only be one voice for the true leader of the Decepticons. Mr. Frank Welker. So as not to confuse anyone. I did not put this in the official rant thread, becuae it was a totally separte qustion.

I think they are holding out until BOTCON. They have to hold some good news for that. Don't they?

I think Welker has a good chance. With as much of a sfx fest as this movie will be, non-"celebrity" voice acting will be a budget saver with the additional bonus of placating the uber-fanboys ....

I don't think we'll get him, but, honestly, it doesn't bother me much; I'd rather have the guy who did bw megatron. I'd be the most pleased w/ someone other than either of those two who can do the character justice.

Ahh who cares about budget, Jo?
This movie is starting to look like a comedy anyway. Who's voice comes to mind when you see that Megatron design? ....... Patrick Stewart, baby.

When I heard Peter Cullen would be playing prime, I was definitely hoping they'd get Frank Welker to play Megatron. To me it would've meant the makers were still yet trying to give the movie a G1 flair, even if it wasn't an exact duplicate. But after seeing the alleged character designs for Prime and especially Meg, I'm not sure I *want* Cullen and Welker's voices coming out of those. Better to recast and take this movie as far away from G1 as possible.
