Fans rejoice, the movie gods have listen to you, okay maybe it was just Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg who listened, but word is that Frank Welker will be the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron.

Multiple studio sources have confirmed to the IESB that Frank Welker is days away from signing on the dotted line to voice our beloved robotic villain of the 80’s, Megatron, in the upcoming Michael Bay film Transformers.

We know that since day one it has been the desire of Producers Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto to bring Peter Cullen and Frank Welker both back to the franchise that they helped build.

One of our sources tells the IESB that Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg never expected the legions of Transformers fans to rally behind both Frank and Peter the way they have, fans have been vocal and their message went all the way to the top. We should expect an official announcement very soon.

It seems like forever ago when we first brought our readers the news about a live action Transformers movie. Then, Variety reported that Michael Bay was in negotiations to direct and finally our notorious interview when we confirmed that Michael Bay would indeed be directing the film.

Fast forward to the present, the film is in post-production and we are just a few months away from seeing giant ****in’ robots on the big screen. I’m stoked! Does anybody still use that word?

Awesome. Let's hope this is completely true

and that he can make up for the design

 

[nosebleed.]

I hope he has more than one line. But great news nonetheless. Now we have another saving grace.

 

[CFlash]

Pretty cool.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Cool news but i thought Megs had no lines in English

 

[Arcturus]

He has a few lines, more specifically while he's chasing after Spike or Sam, or whatever his name will be.

 

[zer00]

He has lines in english. Not a ton. Mostly with Prime and then a few afterwards.

to be honest his lines aren't all that great anyway.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Thanks for the info guys,glad that Prime and Megs at least interact

 

[Spark]

I think the decision on Cybertronian lines was going to be made in post anyway.

Also, check out the update.

EDIT: 666

 

[zer00]

Interesting update

to be honest at this point I don't care

 

[Arcturus]

Well you never know, they might have given the Transformers some more lines. The only way we'll know for sure is when the film hits the theatres.

I loved the voice acting from the cartoon when I was a little kid, but having this in the movie was never important, to me. I guess it's still cool, in a way...but if it hadn't happened, I really wouldn't have cared.

 

[homestarrunner]

god bless you frank! this is indeed great news

 

[CFlash]

He has lines in english. Not a ton. Mostly with Prime and then a few afterwards.

to be honest his lines aren't all that great anyway.

In all fairness, I thought his lines with Optimus were pretty cool. He disses him a few times if I remember correctly and lambasts him for speaking in a human language. Seemed like classic Megatron to me. <so ends my optimistic post>

Well you never know, they might have given the Transformers some more lines. The only way we'll know for sure is when the film hits the theatres.

I hope so, with more lines they could give them all more personality. If they get Frankster I REALLY hope they give him more lines.

Ugh... nooo... I hate G1 Megatron's voice.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Ugh... nooo... I hate G1 Megatron's voice.

Never thought i'd see that in any form in here

 

[AyeCapn]

If they get Frankster

You just called him the Frankster.

Your only choice now is to kill yourself, and send the life insurance proceeds to me so that I may purchase several hot fudge sundaes.

 

[Dotten]

So its down to Welker og Weaving according to IESB. Weaving did a magnificent job as V in V for Vendetta. Weaving or Welker? I'd like both in the movie.

 

[Nathan]

Give me David Kaye.

 

[DaneShobe]

Man, if they got Cullen, they GOTTA have Welker. Otherwise, it'd be like kool-aid without sugar.

 

[Nathan]

Welker is more like salt in the kool-aid.

 

[Orion Pax]

This is great news!

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

Welker is more like salt in the kool-aid.

Well, you are like toejam under my massive foot.
