Voice Actor Questions

No, people will hate the movie for good reasons or no reason at all. Some people hated it before then saw the movie and were plesantly surprised.

I loved it and am only curious about certain "Small" items that I thought needed to be "Tweeked"

Most of the characters in the movie weren't just in G1. IIRC, Gary Chalk voiced Prime in more series than Peter Cullen, so why not him?(though I'm glad that they chose Cullen) Yeah, the series started with G1, but just because it was the first doesn't mean it's the definite best in every criteria

None of the characters arte from the G1 universe. The names are and the characters have similar traits, but it's not G1. Cybertron wasn't G1, Armada wasn't G1, RID wasn't G1. Just because G1 satrted it all does that mean every single series has to be a direct reproduction of G1 in every single way? That would get really boring don't ya think?


Please don't call me crazy.

It's also demeaning

Honestly, I don't care who voices the characters, as long as they don't sound like some old cheesy cartoon character in the modern age, and actually fit what kind of character we're looking at.

Hugo Weaving made a better Megatron for the movie, I agree with most on this. Not that Frank Welker can't pull that kind of menacing voice off, but I think it would be rather rude to ask him to change his own G1 Megatron voice to something else. Fans would go even more batshit than they are already.

As for Optimus, that was one homage to G1 that actually worked out. Mr. Cullen still had to audition and whatnot like any other actor. It just so happened that he fulfilled Michael Bay's requirements.

On a side note, I foresee this thread spiraling downwards in the most hopeless fashion soon...

Victim/ recruit no. #46 of Busou Shinki cult.
Want: Universe Nemesis Prime, Cybertron Prime, Animated Lockdown + Prowl

Yes but what was the FIRST series that INTRODUCED the Transformers?

And they have SIMILIAR modes to G1 so they are "Basing" that off of the original TF


Crazy? Who you are looking into something here

Oh sure, they nased tons of stuff off G1 in the film. It's called Homage. That still doesn't make it G1. Every TF series has Homage to G1. Is it G1? NO. Only G1 is G1. It's not like the movie had to have any nods to G1 at all, be thankful for what we got.


I have no idea what you just said, but the little icon you used while refering to my post was "crazy". Hence, you called me crazy, which I did not like.

Megatron was a jet in G1? I must be getting old

Unless you're talking about robot modes, then you're still off. The only ones I can see that are similar are Prime and maybe Jazz, other that, nada.

(To the "crazy" comment)What?

The movie is loosely, no, very loosely based off of G1, that doesn't mean that it should be a slave to every detail in G1, and have to have every single detail accurate to what boils down to an 80's toy commercial. The smiley () is used to symbolize crazyness, which means you were calling him crazy. Would you like to be called crazy? I honestly doubt it.
