Great news and indeed now hope that Welker gets the part of Megatron

Thanks for the link

One day your grandchildren will ask, 'where were you when Peter Cullen was hired?'.

Whoa,

Micheal Bay and the casting director did not know that he did the voice on the cartoon, so he got the job on his own merit.

thats crazy.

Muhuh?

 

[Ions]

What do you know, this news arrives and suddenly my interest is piqued!
Now, they just have to sign Welker. Infact the more G1 voice actors the better.
Isn't it about time SHH! got us a Transformers smilie?

<---- The man!

Maybe they will let him do Ironhide to.

 

[Mr.numnums]

Yes! Oh God Yes!


Optimus Prime Will Be Voiced By Optimus Prime!

Not to be rude or anything, but I thought he was being voiced by Cullen, not Prime.

Wow. You forget to post on a thread and it goes on without you. Forgot to post it here yesterday, but it's awesome that Peter Cullen will be voicing Prime. Now all we need is a solid script and a good design for the film's main stars and we're set.

 

[Stringer]

Exquisite

Funny you should say that! He WAS Mario! He did his voice in the Saturday Supercade Donkey Kong cartoon!

Oh yeah, and about him reprising his role as Prime for the movie....

!

And don't forget he also did the voice of KARR on a few episodes of Knight Rider.

And the episodes he didn't voice KARR, Welker did the voice for KARR

KARR always did sound more badass than KITT.

Good Good now lets get the orignal megatron voice and it'll be excellent.

 

[shigsy2003]

I am so happy Cullen (Venger in D&D) is Prime. He is the only voice I can imagine for him. Now if we get Welker for Megatron it will be the eighties again.

 

[Hero_Of_Time]

YAY all is right and just in the world!

 

[Anubis73]

And the episodes he didn't voice KARR, Welker did the voice for KARR

Welker never did the voice of KARR. The ones that were not Cullen were Paul Frees.

Bay is certainly proofing he is doing the Transformers justice.

 

[Flame on!]

Y'know, as cool as this news is, there's always the chance that it be so altered in post that it in no way resembles the original voice.

 

[portland2002]

Well at least the producers/filmmakers got ONE THING RIGHT!!!

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

I saw some footage from two years ago of Cullen doing OP voice, and it still sounds good.

 

[GL1]

yay he's gotten one thing right

Well to be fair, he is using CARS...

 

[Mother_Askani]

Fantastic news!

For once it seems like Bay & company might actually care about making a movie the fans want to see.

Even if they vocode his voice a little bit I seriously doubt they would go through all the trouble to cast Cullen and not utilize his great voice to its extent.
